Chapter 407 Did you kiss?
"Miss, you've guessed it right." Jin Wu couldn't wait to tell Xiao Jiuyue the news he had just received, and said excitedly, "If I only tell the Xue family, Xue Lingxiao might not leave!"
"The Zhuang family also found out. They immediately used the news that Zhuang's mother was seriously ill to urge Zhuang Xianxian to return. Xue Lingxiao would never give up Zhuang Xianxian's marriage because of the uncertainty of the salt well."
Jin Wu thought with a gloating look, "I'm afraid Xue Lingxiao still believes that his subordinates can continue to search for salt wells according to his ideas."
"Don't be too happy. I guess since they've found Xue Lingxiao, they can't just let him come looking for him alone. Who knows, there might be other confidants." Xiao Jiuyue reminded: "Tell Lan Feng to be extremely careful recently. There must be no mistakes in the matter of the salt well."
"Also, mention it to Lord Rong." Xiao Jiuyue thought of Rong Xun, who was also one of their own.
"Yes, don't worry, miss. I'll go now." Jin Wu responded and immediately went to prepare. The miss was right. It's too early to be happy!
If the other party really cares about the salt well, they will definitely send more than just Xue Lingxiao. Who knows, there might be someone more important?
After Jin Wu left, Xiao Jiuyue went to Su with cotton in hand and said, "Mom, can you make a piece of cotton armor out of cotton? The kind that can't be scratched by a sword?"
"Why do you want to make this kind of clothes?" Su looked at her in shock and asked worriedly, "Did your father and the others have an accident in Lingnan?"
When Su thought of this possibility, he became extremely worried.
"No, it has nothing to do with Dad." Xiao Jiuyue quickly stopped her thoughts.
Su said again: "That's your eldest brother..."
"Mom, it has nothing to do with Lingnan. I just wanted to make it myself." Xiao Jiuyue was afraid that Su Shi would have wild thoughts, so she said in one breath: "Mom, I just ordered a batch of cotton and suddenly thought of cotton armor. If it is made, I can let Chu Ang and He Changqing wear it. Aren't they from the escort agency?"
"Oh." Su was relieved to hear that it had nothing to do with Lingnan. She said, "This cotton is so soft. If it's made thicker, it should be able to block swords, right?"
"But, if it's thicker, it will be too heavy and I won't be able to wear it." Su muttered.
Xiao Jiuyue remembered that she had seen how cotton armor was made before, and vaguely remembered it. She asked, "Can we soak the cotton in water, hammer it tightly, and then let it dry? Wouldn't that make it very strong?"
"Soak it in water, then hammer it firmly?" Su murmured, adding, "This way it can be made thicker. If you want, I'll try and see if I can make it."
"There are so many embroiderers in Zhiyunfang, maybe they have a way." Su said, and immediately started to act. The weather was getting colder, and the family happened to have newly bought cotton, so Su started to act immediately!
Xiao Jiuyue also followed and studied the method of making cotton armor. For the outermost layer of cloth, it might be best to use coarse cloth, which is both dirt-resistant and wear-resistant!
Just when Xiao Jiuyue was studying the cotton armor, Zhuang Xianxian and others also returned to Hongdu.
"Xianxian, I'll go see my mother first, and then go to Zhuang Mansion." Xue Lingxiao and Zhuang Xianxian parted ways. Zhuang Xianxian didn't say much, but hurried back to Zhuang Mansion in a hurry.
Zhuang Xianxian rushed into the Zhuang Mansion and went straight to her mother's yard. As soon as she entered the yard, she heard no sound in the house. She was so scared that her legs went weak and she almost fell down at the door.
After entering the house, Zhuang Xianxian choked up and shouted, "Mom, I'm back!"
Zhuang Xianxian was just about to rush over and cry, but who knew that the cry was still in her throat. When she saw the rosy-faced Madam Zhuang, her eyes froze. She rubbed her eyes, looked at Madam Zhuang in disbelief and said, "Mother."
"Mom, aren't you seriously ill?" Zhuang Xianxian spoke faster than her brain. Looking at Mrs. Zhuang, she always felt that something was wrong.
"Hmph, if I hadn't said that, would you have rushed back so quickly?" Madam Zhuang snorted coldly and glanced at her: "Why don't you kneel down and apologize to your father? As the prefect's daughter, you sneaked out to play? Is that what mother taught you?"
Mrs. Zhuang scolded coldly.
"Dad, Mom, I was wrong." Zhuang Xianxian knelt down obediently. She raised her head and said with an aggrieved look, "Mom, I heard something happened to you. I was so scared that I hurried back. I'm glad you're okay."
Zhuang Xianxian's well-behaved and sensible appearance, coupled with her red and swollen eyes that were obviously from crying, made Mrs. Zhuang feel relieved, and her tone softened: "It's not in vain that I love you, little girl!"
"Dad, Mom, your daughter misses you all the time." Zhuang Xianxian knelt forward. She was the best at acting like a spoiled child. She looked at her father eagerly and said, "Dad, I've been in Hongdu for too long and haven't been to Lancang County. I want to go and see it too!"
"Although it's a county town, Lancang County is quite interesting." Facing Zhuang's father's cold gaze, Zhuang Xianxian shrank her neck and said sheepishly, "Dad, the winter bamboo shoots in Lancang County are really fresh, even fresher than what we had in Hongdu! It's a pity that I came back in a hurry and didn't bring any for Mom and Dad to try."
"Hmph." Father Zhuang snorted coldly and said unhappily, "You went to Lancang County because of Xue Lingxiao, didn't you?"
"Dad." Zhuang Xianxian gave her biggest smile.
"Kneel down." Zhuang's father said in a cold voice. Zhuang Xianxian was startled and immediately knelt down properly, looking like a good baby.
Zhuang Xianxian looked at her mother for help. Her mother, who always loved her, didn't say anything. Zhuang Xianxian wondered if she had done something wrong or something.
"Dad, we are getting married soon, and sister Xue Han will be with us." Zhuang Xianxian said cautiously.
"You are not allowed to go out for the next two months." As soon as Mr. Zhuang finished speaking, he winked at Mrs. Zhuang, then stood up and left.
As soon as Zhuang's father left, Zhuang Xianxian rushed to Zhuang's mother and acted like a spoiled child. She opened her arms and hugged her mother and said, "Mom, you really scared me. Daddy is so scary!"
"Your father is doing this for your own good." Mother Zhuang gently stroked Zhuang Xianxian's hair, pulled her up and said, "Xianxian, tell me the truth. Did you do anything excessive with Xue Lingxiao when you went to Lancang County this time?"
"Mom." Zhuang Xianxian looked at her mother shyly and embarrassedly.
"Xianxian!" Mother Zhuang suppressed her smile and looked at her seriously, saying, "Tell me the truth."
Mother Zhuang stared at Zhuang Xianxian with burning eyes and asked, "Where have you reached?"
Zhuang Xianxian lowered her head shyly, twisting her ten fingers together. Mother Zhuang asked, "Did you kiss?"
"Um."
Zhuang Xianxian nodded.
Zhuang's mother's heart sank, and she asked again, "Apart from this, you haven't crossed the line in anything else, right?"
When Zhuang Xianxian thought of that night, her face turned as red as an apple!
"Pa" Zhuang's mother slapped her. Zhuang Xianxian's face changed and she looked up in disbelief, looking at the furious Zhuang's mother. Is this still the mother who doted on her in the past?
