Mrs. Wu listened to the laughter coming from the room opposite and felt a little dissatisfied with the food in front of her.
To be fair, the food cooked for her in the house was obviously cooked with care. It included not only rice, vegetables, and game, but also the firm and elastic fish unique to the North.
But this made her think about the child in her belly. Who was she in this family?
Mrs. Wu also knew that as long as she opened her mouth, she would immediately gain a reputation, but it was absolutely impossible for her to speak.
A Xiang, who was on the side, had already finished the fish and vegetable rice on her plate. Suddenly she stared at the plate in front of Mrs. Wu with her big eyes, twitching her nose to smell the aroma of the fish, and her saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth.
Mrs. Wu sighed, picked up the wooden chopsticks, picked out a few thorns from the fish, then picked up the fish and put it into Axiang's bowl.
Ah Xiang cheered, clumsily picked up the wooden chopsticks, leaned his whole head on the bowl, and struggled to pull the fish meat into his mouth.
Mrs. Wu touched Axiang's hair and was stunned.
Tuk-tuk-tuk, there was a knock on the door, and Mrs. Wu suddenly came back to her senses. This familiar rhythm must be Yuan Xi coming!
She quickly looked at the front of her clothes, then pulled up the collar of her inner clothes. After hesitating for a while, she slowly walked to the door.
She hesitated for a moment, pulled out the door latch, returned to the table and sat down, and then said: "Please come in."
The door creaked open, and Yuan Xi stepped over the threshold and walked in.
Ah Xiang finished the fish in the bowl at this time. When she saw Yuan Xi, she jumped down to the ground with a cheer, staggered to Yuan Xi's legs, hugged Yuan Xi's thighs and said: "Mr., Master, lift, hug."
"
Yuan Xi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Axiang's silly look. He lifted Axiang high and let her sit on his neck.
Ever since Axiang accidentally discovered the unique scenery at a high place, she has been enjoying it. The women in the house either lacked the strength or were afraid of danger and dared not do it, so they kept looking for her. Yuan Xi was willing to cooperate with her, so that now the two of them are together.
When they met, Axiang pestered Yuan Xi and wouldn't let go.
Yuan Xi held Axiang's arms and spun around a few times. Axiang screamed a few times, and then giggled like a silver bell.
Seeing the two of them having fun, Mrs. Wu felt quite complicated. She didn't notice that a smile appeared on her lips.
Yuan Xi turned around a few more times before putting Axiang down on the ground. Axiang staggered on the ground for a few steps. Yuan Xi quickly supported him, and Axiang stood firm.
She had enough fun this time and was satisfied. She bit her finger and looked at Yuan Xi and said, "Mr. Master, are you looking for my mother?"
"Well, then I'll go out and play first!"
Yuan Xi and Mrs. Wu saw him waddling and climbing over the threshold, dumbfounded. Cao Xian and Cao Jie happened to be squatting in the yard watching the ants. Upon seeing this, they quickly came over to pick up Axiang and start teasing her.
When Cao Xian saw the situation in the room, he closed the door with a wicked smile and took Axiang to play Wuqinxi.
When Mrs. Wu saw Cao Xian closing the door, she winked at her. Her teeth itched with hatred, but she was speechless and just sat there sulking.
Yuan Xi smiled, came over and sat down side by side with Mrs. Wu, and said with a smile: "Now that you've come, let's make peace with you."
He saw that there was a lot of food left in Mrs. Wu's bowl and said, "It won't be good if it gets cold. Eat it while it's hot."
Mrs. Wu said softly: "I made too much. I can't eat this much."
Yuan Xi smiled and took Axiang's wooden chopsticks, "Then I'll eat some with you."
Seeing Yuan Xi shamelessly picking up the rice in his bowl, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but be speechless. Even if they were husband and wife, how could they share a bowl of rice!
Thinking of this, she felt a little embarrassed again, and half-heartedly picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in her mouth, but it tasted like chewing wax.
A nauseating feeling surged up from her belly again. Mrs. Wu's face turned pale, but she did not spit it out. Instead, she swallowed the fish meat with force.
When Yuan Xi saw it, he sighed softly, "Madam has suffered."
Mrs. Wu lowered her head, "Now that things have come to this, why are you talking about this?"
Yuan Xi was silent for a while, "Madam, she still wants to return to Jiangdong."
Mrs. Wu's hand holding the wooden chopsticks paused, and it took a long time to muster the courage to say: "There are three more of my children over there."
"I don't want to abandon them."
She shed tears in confusion, "I can't abandon them."
Yuan Xi sighed, "I understand what you mean."
"When you give birth to a child and improve your health, I will send you back."
Mrs. Wu raised her head in surprise. Yuan Xi saw it and smiled bitterly: "Why, you don't believe it?"
"I'm not the kind of person who forces things on others."
"Since my wife is reluctant to give up, I don't want her to regret it for the rest of her life."
Mrs. Wu bowed deeply to Yuan Xi and said, "I thank you, Master."
Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said: "There is no need for this. After all, it was me who was drunk and having sex that put my wife in such a situation."
Mrs. Wu's heart became more and more tormented, and she suddenly came to her senses and said, "I am the one who brought this upon myself."
As if she had given up on herself, she recounted what happened that night in one breath, and finally said: "I deceived the young master, and I got this end for myself."
"At that time, I was really afraid that the young master would use it to blackmail the Sun family after discovering my identity, so I took this trick. No wonder the young master."
Yuan Xi suddenly realized that his feelings were not because he was not good at drinking, but because Mrs. Wu had found a drink with strong stamina!
But it is ridiculous to say that I drank twice in total and was plotted by others, but the consequences were very similar.
Once Cai Zhaoji, once Mrs. Wu.
Is this a punishment or a reward?
However, Mrs. Wu's idea was a bit outrageous. Yuan Xi couldn't help but said: "Why is Madam so sure that I will use Madam to blackmail Sun Bofu?"
"Then Liu Yuzhou and Kong Beihai's wife and daughter, shall I return them all?"
Mrs. Wu raised her head and said, "Isn't it possible?"
"Young Master and Liu Yuzhou are friends, but he and Ce'er are enemies."
"Will you take advantage of such a good opportunity?"
Yuan Xi was a little silent. Yes, what Mrs. Wu said made sense. If he could avoid the death of thousands of soldiers, would he use Mrs. Wu to blackmail Sun Ce?
He thought for a long time and then sighed: "Madam is right, actually I don't know either."
"But what I can guarantee is that I will not do anything that harms my wife's reputation."
Mrs. Wu was a little disinterested, "Every honor is for outsiders to see. I have long since lost my honor, so it doesn't matter anymore."
Yuan Xi whispered: "Now that I think about it, I really miss that night."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu's face turned hot and she glared at Yuan Xi angrily.
Yuan Xi added: "Although I can't remember much, I have some vague memories. Madam is so kind."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Wu couldn't resist anymore and whispered: "You! Stop talking!"
"There's no one like you!"
Yuan Xi calmed down his appearance and said seriously: "I am telling the truth."
"Actually, I'm very reluctant to let my wife leave."
"But if this is Madam's choice, I will make Madam's wish come true."
He suddenly stretched out his hand and took hold of Mrs. Wu's hand. Mrs. Wu tried to break away, but she didn't, so she had to give up.
Yuan Xi turned Mrs. Wu's body around, and the two were only within one foot of each other. Mrs. Wu felt the other's masculine breath coming towards her face, and her heart suddenly beat faster. She turned her head away, not daring to look into Yuan Xi's eyes.
Yuan Xi said aloud: "I'm going out to fight, and I don't know when I will come back."
"Of course, there is a possibility that you won't be able to come back."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu said softly: "Young master, you are a lucky person, please don't say these ominous words."
Yuan Xi shook his head and said: "People have good fortune and misfortune because they know what will happen tomorrow."
"Just like General Wentai, who dominates the world and rarely fails, who knows that he will die in the end?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu's face darkened a bit.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Xi said: "If anything happens to me, the child in Madam's belly will be my only bloodline."
"I have already made an agreement with Zhen Mi. She will raise the child when the time comes. Madam will return to Jiangdong. Don't worry about anything."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wu felt a complicated and incomprehensible sense of loss in her heart.
After all, this is his own child. When he returns to Jiangdong, he will inevitably leave it behind. What is the difference between that and himself now?
But both sides are their own children
Seeing Mrs. Wu's confused look, Yuan Xi put his hand on Mrs. Wu's lower abdomen. Mrs. Wu couldn't help but tremble.
Yuan Xi touched the clothes, wanting to feel the little life in her belly, but the number of months was too small.
He said: "The days are long, and Madam still has a lot of time to think about it. Before that, please settle down and settle down."
Mrs. Wu listened and nodded slightly.
Yuan Xi was a little embarrassed, "Because Madam is really nice."
"Stop talking!" Mrs. Wu broke her guard again.
Cao Xian supported Axiang and did the five-animal play posture. She was surprised to find that Axiang actually learned the lesson well and soon no longer needed her own guidance.
She smiled at Cao Jie and said, "Look at others, they can pick up the skills so quickly when they are only a few years old. You, on the other hand, have been learning for several months and still can't learn a few moves."
Cao Jie was quite unconvinced after hearing this, "Everyone is good at different things!"
"I'm just not good at Wu Qin Xi!"
Cao Xian wanted to make fun of her, but when he saw Yuan Xi walking out of Mrs. Wu's room in a somewhat embarrassed manner, he smiled at Cao Jie and said, "Indeed, the young master should not be good at dealing with Mrs. Wu."
"Look, he must be deflated again."
As a result, Yuan Xi, who had sharp ears, smiled and said, "Cao Xian, you have become a lot more courageous recently."
"Come on, follow me back to the house."
A sad look appeared on Cao Xian's face, and he gave the axiang to Cao Jie, "Young Master is going to teach me a lesson again. Alas, life is hard."
When Cao Jie saw Yuan Xi leading Cao Xian into the house, he said angrily in a low voice: "How sanctimonious!"
"Adulterer and adulterer!"
"Sister, shameless!"
Axiang raised her head and said to Cao Jie: "Sister, when Axiang was eating fish, my mother said something, and Axiang didn't quite understand it."
Cao Jie was sulking and said casually: "What are you talking about?"
Ah Xiang glared and said, "Okay, it seems, you are not a fish, how do you know the joy of fish?"
Cao Jie had a question mark on his face and saw Mrs. Wu hurried out of the house, picked up Axiang and went back to the house.
