Tong Huaan parked his horse at an inn. At this time, he could not take Tong Xiaoye back. If his grandfather, parents, or other people in the family knew about Xiaoye's situation, the situation would be worse. Now Xiaoye has just married into the Xuan family, but he is
——
Forget it, he thought, find a place to let his sister warm up first, she looked like she was freezing.
Sitting in a warm room, facing the burning stove, Tong Xiaoye's trembling slowly eased, her face became rosier, but her expression was a little sad. Everything seemed unreal to her, as if she was dreaming. The scenes at the wedding
Sweetness, humiliation on the carriage.
"Xiaoye, why are you standing in the wind and snow in such plain clothes?" Tong Huaan frowned, sat opposite Tong Xiaoye and asked softly, "Where is Xuan Jinmo?"
Tong Xiaoye looked down at the burning fire and thought for a long time before slowly saying: "It's okay, it's just a small dispute. Brother Jinmo is going to pay homage to his deceased mother-in-law. I'm a little hesitant. I feel that such a day
It was unlucky to wear plain clothes to visit the grave of my deceased mother-in-law. We had some arguments on the carriage. I jumped out of the carriage in anger. It was my willfulness. Brother, don’t worry. It’s really okay. Brother Jinmo has already gone to see my mother-in-law.
In front of his grave, he will rush back to the mansion before dawn, where is this place?"
Tong Huaan didn't say a word, he didn't believe Tong Xiaoye's words.
Although my sister has always been away from home with her parents since she was a child, and rarely goes home, she has always been a gentle and pleasant girl, and her occasional little willfulness is also cute. She will definitely not pay homage to the deceased on such a day.
There must be some reason why the mother-in-law is so angry, and her face is not ashamed but sad and helpless.
Xuan Jinmo must have done something to Xiaoye to make her have to do this.
"This is opposite Xiluan Pavilion, not far from Xuan Jinmo's residence." Tong Huaan looked at his sister, hesitated, and asked softly, "Are you sure you're okay?"
Tong Xiaoye forced a smile and said: "It's okay. Just help me hire a horse to take me back later. You don't have to follow me, so as not to let the people in the house see the bad news, or if it spreads to the ears of my grandfather and parents."
, it’s inevitable to worry.”
Tong Huaan concluded that Xuan Jinmo must have done something to his sister.
"Brother, why are you outside? The wind and snow are so strong, and you are wearing a military uniform?" Tong Xiaoye asked in confusion.
"News came from the border that Xuan Jincheng, who was not allowed to return to the capital under the emperor's order, quietly returned to the capital. The emperor was furious and urgently ordered the Tong family to find him as soon as possible. Because Xuan Jinmo was newly married and was Xuan Jincheng's younger brother, there was no
Tell him." Tong Huaan said calmly.
Although Tong Xiaoye was surprised, was the emperor so nervous when Xuan Jincheng returned to the capital? However, he was not a meddlesome person, so he did not ask again. However, he suddenly remembered what he knew in the palace and the suspicion at that time, and he was still slightly a little nervous.
His face changed.
Perhaps it was just intuition. She felt that Xuan Jincheng's sudden return to the capital must have something to do with Princess Tianxiang. She didn't know if she was paranoid. She saw the consort at the wedding today. That was when she was discovered by Xuan Jinmo and had to escape into the lake to leave.
It was the first time she saw Xuan Jinxiu after she caught a cold. Three years had passed since then, but she suddenly felt that the consort looked a little strange.
To be precise, what she saw was clearly Xuan Jinxiu, but she thought she was seeing Xuan Jincheng.
After finally getting warm, Tong Hua'an helped Tong Xiaoye hire a carriage to take her back to Xuan Mansion. Although he was reluctant, for Tong Xiaoye's sake, Tong Hua'an could not act out of anger, and could not ruin Xiaoye's innocence in life because of a moment of anger.
However, with his fists clenched and his heart angry, he would never let Xuan Jinmo go. If Xiaoye made any mistake, he would also inflict pain on Xuan Jinyan, even though he would become like Xuan Jinmo.
Even if you are shameless and hateful, you will not hesitate!
After searching the original route again, there was still no sign of Tong Xiaoye. Xuan Jinmo frowned and returned a little annoyed. As soon as he reached a hundred steps in front of his house, he saw a carriage coming from the other direction.
Stopping in front of the mansion, Tong Xiaoye, dressed in plain clothes, got off the carriage and waited for the doorkeeper to open the door.
"Tong Xiaoye!" Xuan Jinmo gritted his teeth and shouted softly. He patted the horse's back to make the horse run faster. The snowflakes on the ground were also splashed. Then almost instantly, his horse stopped at Tong Xiaoye.
Next to him, there was a long neigh, and the horse stopped steadily.
"Ah." Tong Xiaoye was thinking about how to explain to the servant who opened the door why he came back alone at this time, when he clearly went out with two people.
A horse quickly stopped next to him, and then a man jumped off the horse. Then he was firmly imprisoned in a man's arms, and a voice said with some ups and downs: "Why did you come back? You won't wait any longer.
After a while, I was shocked when I couldn't find you when I rushed over. This is the second time I went to look for you. I can't be willful next time."
The servant was wondering why the madam came back alone, and then saw the master coming back. From what he said, it seemed that the master had something to do and asked the madam to wait for a while, but the madam hired a carriage and came back, so the master was anxious.
Then he no longer wondered why the wife came back alone and quickly opened the door. It seemed that the master loved the new wife very much.
Tong Xiaoye was a little confused. Xuan Jinmo's change was really fast. She hesitated and wanted to struggle out, but Xuan Jinmo hugged her so tightly that she couldn't move at all. She could only whisper: "It's too cold, so I hired him."
The carriage came back first."
Xuan Jinmo relaxed a little, looked up and down for a long time, and then said: "You can't do this next time, isn't it very cold? Let's go back and rest."
Returning to the separate small courtyard, Ping'er and Mi'er were waiting. Xuan Jinmo waved his hand and said lightly: "Go down, you don't need to come over in the evening."
Ping'er and Mi'er were both slightly startled, but immediately lowered their heads and quietly retreated.
"Can I take a hot bath?" Tong Xiaoye asked hesitantly. She was freezing to death. Although the carriage she came in was well sealed, there was still wind coming in, making her shiver all the way.
"I'm cold."
Xuan Jinmo looked at Tong Xiaoye's pale face and suddenly said in an indifferent tone: "You have been with other men! Are you eager to wash away the smell of others?"
Tong Xiaoye was stunned and didn't react for a while. He murmured in his heart, is this person a dog?!
Xuan Jinmo looked at Tong Xiaoye indifferently. At this moment, he was completely different from the anxious person at the door. His expression was cold and disdainful.
Tong Xiaoye sighed. This person is really strange. Is he really Xuan Jinmo? "I met my brother. Otherwise, how could I meet a carriage in such bad weather?"
