"Husband, put me down first." Xie Yunjiao gently pushed Gu Huai and said.

Gu Huai was stunned. The door was closed and he was in high spirits, but his wife actually asked him to pause and let her go.

Is it because he is not charming enough?

So he needs to try harder.

Xie Yunjiao was so embarrassed by Gu Huai that she blushed and gasped for breath, and almost lost control.

"Wait a minute, I really have something important to give you." Xie Yunjiao said breathlessly.

But Gu Huai was already on the verge of launching his attack, so he couldn't care less. He attacked the city again, making Xie Yunjiao dizzy and losing even the last bit of her rationality. She could only surrender.

After the tender moment, Xie Yunjiao angrily lowered her hand on Gu Huai's chest: "I told you not to do that. It's broad daylight and the children have seen it."

Gu Huai played with Xie Yunjiao's soft hair, and raised the corner of his mouth: "My wife, this is not my fault. You started the fire first."

Xie Yunjiao: “…”

Okay, okay, it’s her fault, it’s all her fault.

After Xie Yunjiao was dressed, she asked Gu Huai to step back a little. With a move of her hand, she drew out a soft sword from her waist.

"This is for you." Xie Yunjiao said.

Gu Huai was stunned when he saw the soft sword in Xie Yunjiao's hand.

Before he could react, Xie Yunjiao pulled out the soft sword. If she wanted to attack him quickly, he would be hurt.

"I designed this based on your body shape and usage habits. Do you like it?" Xie Yunjiao handed the sword to Gu Huai.

He didn't have any good weapons, so she secretly made him a soft sword without telling him.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary belt, but by activating the mechanism and pulling it hard, it can turn into a soft sword. It is as fast as a dragon and can defeat the enemy in the instant before the enemy can react.

Gu Huai liked Xie Yunjiao's gift very much, so he put it on immediately and tried to draw it a few more times. The more he tried, the more he liked it.

***

That day, it was still daytime when the wind suddenly blew and the rain began to fall sparsely.

No one expected that it would start raining just as winter began.

It seems that once the rain stops, it will get cold again.

No one on the road expected it to rain, and almost no one brought an umbrella and they were all dodging in a hurry. Shao Yan was one of them.

Shao Yan, who was jogging, suddenly felt something was wrong, as if someone was following her.

Her heart couldn't help but hang in the air, and she quickened her pace.

Seeing her quicken her pace, the man also quickened his pace, getting closer and closer.

In order to avoid that person, she almost ran into a dead end.

Fortunately, she was familiar with these roads and she avoided them.

Suddenly, she saw the yamen in the distance, and she quickened her pace and ran over.

The man followed for a few more steps, then suddenly realized something was wrong and turned around and ran away.

Shao Yan then shouted at the people in the yamen, "Sir, quickly catch the bad guy! The person behind me is Xu Min, the wanted criminal who killed four people in a row."

Her shouting indeed attracted the attention of the police, and after a chase, Xu Min was arrested.

Xu Min's eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Shao Yan like a wild beast, gritting his teeth and saying, "Shao Yan, you've caused me to be like this, you must die a miserable death."

"Xu Min, you are the one who harmed you. If you hadn't been greedy for small profits and went to your uncle, and had an improper relationship with him, what happened later wouldn't have happened." Shao Yan said.

Xu Min couldn't hear anything. She struggled and growled like a trapped animal. It took several people to hold her down.

Without any trial, she was thrown directly into the death row and prepared to be executed in the autumn.

After Xu Min was arrested, Wu Mingde felt that the sword that had been hanging over his head all the time had finally disappeared. He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

He happened to have something to do today and couldn't be with Shao Yan, so Shao Yan almost got into trouble.

If Shao Yan hadn't been so clever, leading Xu Min to the county government office while escaping, I'm afraid Shao Yan would have already...

"My wife, it's my fault. If I hadn't been here, you wouldn't have almost gotten into trouble." Wu Mingde said.

Shao Yan wasn't as scared as Wu Mingde. She comforted Wu Mingde and said, "Fortunately, you weren't here today, so Xu Min dared to come out. Otherwise, we don't know when we can catch her."

After Xu Min was arrested, a worry was put to rest and Wu Mingde could finally study with peace of mind. Shao Yan was so happy.

A few days later, Xie Yunjiao invited everyone to dinner at Yuemanlou as a practice.

The next day they set out together for the capital.

It takes about a month to walk from here to the capital, but taking a horse carriage can take almost half the time.

Wu Mingde became uneasy after leaving home, and would send a letter home to report his safety every time he arrived at a place.

Gradually, the closer we got to the capital, the more prosperous the surrounding scene became, and the more people came and went.

The capital is even more prosperous, with numerous shops, thriving trade, a bustling bustle of people and traffic. Morning and night markets connect day and night, and restaurants, teahouses, and tile houses are scattered throughout the city.

Not to mention the two children, even Xie Yunjiao started looking around.

But her inspection was not for the novelty, but to find a place to show off her skills.

She knew that shop rents in the capital were very expensive, so she had to find some inconspicuous places to start her business first, just like she had done in Qinghe Town before. Once the business was doing well, she could slowly expand the scale.

Xie Yunjiao had previously written a letter to Lord Xu of the Hanlin Academy, so as soon as they arrived in the capital, Lord Xu's people came to find them.

Along with him came Ye Baien and a strange man.

The man was already quite old, with white hair on his temples. He had a heroic face and was intimidating without even being angry.

Xie Yunjiao felt that this person looked familiar, but she didn't realize it until she saw Lian Jin.

"Lian Jin, this is your grandfather." Ye Baien said.

Gu Huai stepped forward and nodded to Lian Yan.

Lian Yan glanced at Gu Huai and his eyes darkened. If his Lian Qi were still alive, he would be as old as Gu Huai.

Lian Jin didn't say anything. He stood beside Xie Yunjiao and looked at Lian Yan quietly.

He was a little excited and remembered many things his father had said to him.

But now his identity has changed, and he can't say these words outside.

"Madam Gu, if you don't mind, why don't you bring Doudou and everyone else to my house to stay for a while?" Lord Xu invited warmly.

Although he knew Ye Baien's identity, he never took sides and did not have much contact with Ye Baien.

But he also knew Ye Baien's identity. When he learned about Ye Baien's relationship with Gu Huai, he was indeed shocked.

But for Doudou's sake, he can ignore these things.

How can you despise the disciple you accepted?

"Master Xu, you are too polite. Lian Qi is my unfilial son. Now that he is back, he naturally has to go back to the mansion." Lian Yan said.
