They set off early the next morning. Xing'er caught up with the caravan at 9:00 in the morning and brought the snow wolf that was left at home. After a month of care by Lan Yu, the female wolf has recovered, but the hair on the other side has not grown yet. The two little wolf cubs are so cute and adorable.

"Xing'er, if it weren't for you, I would have forgotten about these cubs. Mother wolf, if your children are tired, you can come to my carriage and we will take you back to the Qishan snowfield." The snow wolf howled twice towards the sky, as if responding to Chen Qiu's words.

"Madam, everything has been arranged at home. Mu Qing brought the midwife to the house today, and also brought the wet nurse's son into the house. All the servants who should be released have also been released." Xing'er reported the situation at home to Chen Qiu.

"Madam... Miss Fang died in the Black Cloud Guard's dungeon." Although Chen Qiu was prepared, he didn't expect it to happen so soon. "How did she die? Was she tortured to death by the Black Cloud Guard?"

Xing'er lowered her voice and whispered in Shen Qiu's ear: "No, you ordered that she not be tortured, so no one bothered her. She was... scared to death."

This result was unexpected. Chen Qiu looked at Xing'er in surprise, as if to confirm the truth of this story. Xing'er nodded vigorously, "It's true. There were a lot of rats in the dungeon, and she was scared to death by them. I caught up with her late today, so I went to Zheng's house to take a look. Her eyes were wide open with fear. She was really scared to death."

Chen Qiu didn't say anything else. She didn't look like someone who was that afraid of mice.

Xing'er was wearing a black dress and riding a horse beside Shen Qiu and Ye Chen's carriage. Shen Qiu would lie on the small window of the carriage and talk to Xing'er when he had nothing to do, while Ye Chen was alone.

Ye Chen was dozing with his eyes closed. When he heard Chen Qiu and Xing'er finish their conversation, he immediately opened his eyes. As soon as Chen Qiu turned her head to come in, Ye Chen immediately turned her head towards him and kissed her domineeringly.

"Qiu'er, have you forgotten your husband again?" After the kiss, Ye Chen's mouth was full of jealousy. Chen Qiu was afraid of what he would say when he was jealous. He could say anything incredible. Although Chen Qiu enjoyed his coquettish look, there were so many people in the carriage, and everyone talking outside could hear it clearly. If others heard it, how would he face people along the way?

Chen Qiu covered Ye Chen's mouth with his hand and said, "Shut up! Don't act like a spoiled child on the way here. If you make it so that I can't face anyone, I... I will... I will beat you up." Chen Qiu said while waving his fist.

Ye Chen's beautiful almond-shaped eyes instantly turned into a crescent-shaped slit, and then he stretched out his tongue to lick the palm of Shen Qiu's hand that was covering his mouth. Shen Qiu immediately retracted his hand and glared at Ye Chen fiercely. Ye Chen nestled his head in Shen Qiu's neck and acted as coquettishly as possible.

"Then, Qiu'er can't forget your husband anymore. My husband is very pitiful. Qiu'er only has her husband in her heart and eyes, so Qiu'er has to look at me and think about her husband all the time." He became more excited if he wasn't allowed to say anything.

Chen Qiu immediately raised his hands in surrender, "Okay, I was wrong, Qiu'er will remember this." Ye Chen was satisfied and put his forehead against Chen Qiu's forehead, "Then, Qiu'er, kiss me. They can't see it, so we can kiss secretly."

Chen Qiu glanced at the small window of the carriage with his eyes slanted, and seeing that there was no one around, he kissed Ye Chen, just like a bird pecking at rice, and left lightly. However, Ye Chen's hands, which had been placed behind his back in advance, clasped the back of his head, and the kiss turned into a continuous one.

Xing'er was sent by Ye Chen to explore the way ahead, and she also said hello at the post house in Jinyong County. When she arrived at the post house in Jinyong County in the evening, it was already the end of You and the beginning of Xu.

"We will stay in the inn today. The soldiers haven't had a good sleep these days. Let's have a good sleep today and set off tomorrow depending on the situation." Ye Chen got off the carriage and said this to Wang Lufeng. After Chen Qiu got off the carriage, he and Xing'er entered the house under the guidance of the servants of the inn. Ye Chen couldn't suppress the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wang Lufeng looked at the Duke, his lips twitching. Was he out here to suppress the disaster or was he out for fun? If he said he was out for fun, his schedule hadn't been delayed at all, and the arrangements for the journey hadn't been anything special. But if he said he was out for disaster suppression, what minister would bring their family with them? Judging from the Duke's wife's expression just now, she must be shy, right? He must have seen it right.

He agreed to Ye Chen's words, and then went to arrange the night guard duty. He pondered this question while walking, "General, what's wrong with you? Why are the corners of your mouth twitching so badly? Did you have a stroke? Do you want to ask Doctor Xiao to come and take a look?" A soldier who was usually well taken care of by Wang Lufeng saw Wang Lufeng walking with his head down, thinking about something, and his mouth twitching, so he came over and asked jokingly.

"You bastard, you're the one who had a stroke, get back to work." Wang Lufeng slapped the soldier on the head and kicked him in the butt.

The soldier ran and laughed and said, "General, are you having a stroke? Or are you missing your sister-in-law?"

"Get lost." Wang Lufeng thought of his beloved wife, and the corners of his mouth were no less curved than Ye Chen's. "You little bastard, you even dare to tease me. But I did think about it! Hehe." He said the last sentence in a very low voice, but he felt sweet in his heart.

"Hurry up, you little bastards. Everything is arranged. I'll guard you for a while. Go wash up and smell yourself to see if you stink. How are you going to go back and find a wife like this?" Wang Lufeng directed them to gather their things together while encouraging these energetic young men. Only a few of them were married, and most of them had not experienced what it meant to have a wife and children and a warm bed, nor had they experienced the tenderness and tenderness of their own wives.

After Chen Qiu entered the room assigned to them, Xing'er asked for hot water. Thinking that a good hot bath would help to relieve fatigue, Xing'er arranged for Chen Qiu to get into the bathtub. As soon as she walked out, she saw Ye Chen coming over. "Master, Madam is taking a bath..."

Before she could finish her words, Ye Chen raised his hand to interrupt her, "You go, I'll take care of Qiu'er." Of course, Xing'er couldn't say anything, so she could only take her leave and go into her own room next door.

Ye Chen quietly pushed open the door. Chen Qiu had been resting his head on the edge of the tub, enjoying the comfort of the hot water. Suddenly, he heard the door open and immediately sat up. "Who?"

"Qiu'er, you can't even hear your husband's footsteps?" Ye Chen walked quickly to the bathtub. Chen Qiu was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued to lie there with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

"There are only two women, Xing'er and I, in this inn. It will be very dangerous if I am not careful. My husband, you don't know any martial arts, and it's hard for you to protect yourself, let alone me." Ye Chen felt cold in his heart after hearing what Chen Qiu said, but it was also the truth. He was really a useless scholar.
