After seeing clearly the 'late night visitor' in the courtyard, the tea tray in Zhao Rong's hand almost dropped to the floor.
The courtyard was already quiet late at night. After he subconsciously blurted out the name of a certain little fox demon, almost all eyes in the courtyard fell on Zhao Rong.
Xiao Qian'er, who was serving rice to the 'guests', looked sideways.
At the gate of the courtyard, except for the woman with autumn eyes who was receiving the guests tonight, her eyes lowered elegantly, the man with a sword holding a lantern, and the girl in red clothes carrying a small book box couldn't help but glance at the people in the room.
He has big eyes.
After seeing Zhao Rong's expression, Li Bai lowered his head and coughed twice.
Su Xiaoxiao...quickly looked away.
If in the past, after seeing Zhao Lang, she would have definitely jumped up and down with a small book box on her back, sprinting at the speed of the little fox demon who is the 100-meter champion of the Qiantang Mountain Fox Clan, and rushed over and ran into his arms.
Well, isn't this a powerful job for Zhao Lang to throw his whole breast into the arms of the fox?
However, at this moment, the little fox demon stood in front of the door very honestly.
Pretending not to see Zhao Lang, she returned her eyes and looked at Zhao Lingfei who was wearing an expensive and beautiful high-waisted skirt in front of the door and stepped aside to give way. The little fox demon's eyes widened, her little face was extraordinarily serious, and she called out in a low voice:
"Sister Lingfei."
The tone is weak and honest.
After she finished speaking, she raised her face slightly and looked at Concubine Zhao Ling, who was much taller than her, without blinking an eye, waiting with bated breath for her 'sister' to give her instructions.
Probably the little fox who sneaked into the cave to steal the chicken behaved well after the female white tiger came back and blocked the entrance of the cave.
In the past, when he was most obsessed with needlework in bed, Zhao Rong had never seen the little fox demon look so good...
"Come in, it's cold outside." Zhao Lingfei looked at her cute and charming face and nodded.
"Oh!" The little fox demon nodded, but still stood beside Zhao Lingfei, and did not move.
Wait for her to leave first.
Zhao Lingfei laughed and shook her head, turned around and closed the door first, took the lantern from Li Bai's hand, and then took the lead into the courtyard.
In the main room, Zhao Rong was a little at a loss for a moment and felt that the tea tray in his hand was a little hot to the touch.
He quickly put down the tea tray and, under Xiao Qian'er's gaze, went out to 'receive the guests'.
In fact, Zhao Rong didn't know what to say in the current atmosphere.
I feel...no matter what I say, it's embarrassing.
He just finished confessing, thinking that Xiaoxiao should go back to Taiqing Mansion now anyway, and he won't be able to see him for a short time, so Qingjun and Qianer can have time to digest him by playing mixed doubles, and wait until they calm down, then
...discuss and discuss.
As a result, now... what the hell is going on?
So, at this moment, he stood obediently in front of the door, hands folded, waiting for the three people walking in front of him.
Zhao Rong looked at the calm and elegant lady without squinting, and tried not to glance at a certain little fox demon who was equally honest.
His mood at this time was like an overturned condiment bottle.
All five flavors.
Even though he broke his head, he never thought that Su Xiaoxiao and Li Bai would suddenly arrive now. Didn't they agree to return to Duyou City before?
Also, did Qing Jun already know about this and arranged it silently, or... some bastard snitched and exposed it!?
Zhao Rong silently moved his eyes and looked at the man holding the sword behind Qing Jun on his right.
His face was expressionless.
Li Bai pretended not to see it and looked around.
However, Zhao Rong's sad and gritted eyes still made the sword-holding man a little unbearable.
The man felt that he was quite innocent.
Li Bai lowered his head with his sword in hand, scratched his nose with two fingers, looked at the ground in front of him, and coughed: "Well... Miss, I remembered that I still have something to deal with. You and the little girl can eat first, and there is no need to add my chopsticks."
Ahem, please feel free to contact me if you need anything later."
After saying that, he ran away without waiting for anyone to react.
Before leaving, the man holding the sword glared back at a certain brat very hard.
Miss Bingxue is smart and Lan Zhihui is heart-warming. If you are not careful and can't hide it, you still blame your uncle!
Zhao Rong looked at his back and gritted his teeth.
A little bit toothy.
Zhao Lingfei nodded, without looking back, and walked to the door with Su Xiaoxiao.
She looked into Zhao Rong's eyes and explained softly:
"It was me who contacted him and asked him to take his little sister and turn back halfway."
Zhao Rong was stunned.
Zhao Lingfei lowered her eyes and looked at the small lantern, "I have already hurriedly came to the Moon Festival Mountain, so I'd better have a meal before going back."
"Oh, okay..." He nodded quickly, reached out to take the lantern in her hand, sent them into the house, and closed the door.
In the warm orange light, no cold wind blows in.
After closing the door, Zhao Rong did not look back immediately. He faced the door, slowed down his movements, pursed his lips and thought for a while.
He turned around and suddenly took Zhao Lingfei's hand from behind.
"Qingjun."
"Huh?" the woman said gently.
The man was silent for a while and said, "I've wronged you."
"The one who is really aggrieved is the little sister." She shook her head.
"Xiao Xiao... Xiao Xiao doesn't have many grievances. The one who has the most grievance and the hardest work is Sister Ling Fei!" The little fox demon mustered up the courage to interject, "It's Xiao Xiao who is too bad and greedy and can't control himself.
The husband who married Sister Lingfei... Xiaoxiao is a little vixen."
Even though the cold and elegant Concubine Zhao Ling saw the little fox demon in red clothes in front of her looking sorry for herself, the calm eyes in her eyes couldn't help but have some waves.
"No, I don't blame you. When you met him, he was on his way north to return his jade. At that time...my sister and I had not yet reconciled. There were too many misunderstandings between the two of us. We almost thought...that we were destined to be together in this life.
...Your appearance at this time is not a mistake in a sense."
She comforted her in a broad voice, then took Su Xiaoxiao's little hand that had nowhere to rest, and covered it with her bare hands.
"I got to know you on the road... He has already told me the whole story of our final love... You are so kind and true, how can that man be cruel enough to let you down? You are so obedient and obedient... It is not your fault."
At this time, Xiao Qian'er had already returned with a bowl of hot rice. She first quietly and carefully looked at the little fox demon in red clothes.
Xiao Qian'er nodded her head and continued with a smile: "Yes, I don't blame the little sister. The little sister is so cute and kind. Even the young lady and I are tempted to get close to each other after seeing that we are women. Besides..."
"Well, what's more?" Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Besides, scholars like fox girls. When they see a beautiful little fox demon, they can't walk or can't contain their feelings. Isn't this what is written in black and white in the book? Isn't this what the stories in the storybooks tell from beginning to end?
Is it something? Well, it doesn’t look like it’s aimless.” Xiao Qian’er nodded firmly and analyzed it calmly, “This is a common behavior among scholars, I don’t blame my little sister.”
Zhao Rong: "......"
I want to spank her little butt more and more.
You are the only one who can analyze, right? You are the only one who knows a lot, right?
He shrank his itchy right hand into his sleeve.
Right now, he feels the most guilty.
I endured it.
On the side, Su Xiaoxiao was surrounded by Zhao Lingfei and Xiao Qian'er. She blushed and lowered her head, and then couldn't help but glance at Zhao Lang, who had a strange expression.
The two sisters are so kind. They are not the stingy and mean first wives written in the story books about talented men and beautiful women. They are a bully for Xiao Xiao when he comes in. No wonder they are Zhao Lang's childhood sweethearts and Zhao Lang also likes them.
...the little fox demon thought.
But immediately, Xiao Qian'er's words also made her a little confused, "Well, Sister Lingfei and Sister Qian'er are childhood sweethearts. There is definitely nothing wrong with marrying Zhao Lang first. The sisters also said that Xiao Xiao is right, then...
…Things have ended up like this, and it’s not easy for me to meet my two sisters. Fortunately, Xiaoxiao didn’t make you unhappy…well, someone must have done something wrong.”
Su Xiaoxiao was also confused and analyzed and reasoned. I don't know why, but my little head was particularly bright tonight. Well, maybe it was driven by the eloquent sister Qian'er.
As soon as she said this, the room fell silent.
Then……
Zhao Lingfei, Zhao Qianer, and the new little sister Su Xiaoxiao all looked at a certain man in succession.
Zhao Rong: “…………!!!”
"Hey, why is the water in the teapot cold? Wait a minute. I will boil some hot water to make tea. You guys eat first and talk first. You don't need to wait for me." After saying that, he dropped the lantern with a twitch in the corner of his eye and shook his warm hand.
He opened the door and ran away in a hurry.
Only the three women behind him were left behind, watching his embarrassed back as he hurried away.
They looked at each other wordlessly for a while, and then...
"Puch..."
Xiao Qian'er, the culprit who started the conversation, couldn't help but laugh and hummed to relieve her anger.
Concubine Zhao Ling couldn't help but laugh and shook her head helplessly.
Su Xiaoxiao reacted belatedly, but immediately followed the two sisters' cheerful smiles stupidly, "Uh heh heh heh..."
She blinked her big fox eyes and looked at Sister Lingfei and Sister Qian'er, who had smiles like flowers and were casual and natural. The little fox demon became happier for no reason, and a bright smile appeared on her little face.
She felt that...the atmosphere with them was a little different from the little sisters in Taiqing Mansion and even Qiantang Mountain in the past. There was no gossip, lies, or indifference.
The little fox demon in red clothes who was carrying the bookcase felt very comfortable...
Zhao Rong volunteered to go to the kitchen to boil water and make tea, choosing to temporarily avoid the limelight. The three women in the living room had a vaguely 'xenophobic' atmosphere of terror, which made people unable to stay...
Wait, something is wrong, this is his home, he is the head of the family, and he wants to avoid their limelight! It's simply... shameful...
Zhao Rong nodded fiercely, and then chose...
Continue to go to the kitchen to boil water.
Well, he decided to heat the tea later to scald their mouths.
Well, in fact, Zhao Rong was just thinking about it. If he really wanted to go back and continue to stand next to them in embarrassment, he would definitely not dare.
In the kitchen, Zhao Rong lit a fire and boiled water. During this short waiting period, he had time to calm down and think about the ins and outs of the series of events just now.
Zhao Rong turned around and looked around the kitchen where Qingjun and Qianer were cooking, paying attention to the traces left by the handling of the ingredients... He was thoughtful.
Then, the man rested his chin on his hand and looked at the flames dancing in the copper stove.
He knew the use of the pot of tea that Xiao Qian'er asked him to boil.
but……
His brows furrowed slightly.
For tonight's meal, Qingjun and Qian'er deliberately made a lot of extra portions, and there was also the extra pair of bowls and chopsticks that he had mistakenly thought he had prepared for Uncle Xiaobai.
All this shows that... Qingjun has known about Xiaoxiao's existence for a long time, even before he confessed tonight.
