Yan Xiaosi suddenly stopped the carriage, which made Xingying feel very strange. He was about to walk over with the bowl in his hand.
Yan Xiaosi felt guilty and quickly turned the carriage around and left.
Shangguan Jinnian walked to Xingying's side holding a large basin, leaning forward to look at the carriage in the distance.
I feel like something is getting away from me.
When Shangguan Yunxiao subconsciously leaned out to look over, Shangguan Jinnian's leaning body retracted.
"Uncle, what happened to the carriage?"
Xingying thought of Su Ningan's words and said with a smile, "Maybe they are here to steal children?"
Shangguan Jinnian's heart tightened, "Then I'll go back to the yard and wait for my parents to come back."
He was stolen away, and his parents will be sad.
Shangguan Yunxiao lowered the curtain, "Xiao Si, what's going on?"
Yan Xiaosi whispered, "The man in front of the house just now was the one I fought with last night."
Shangguan Yunxiao thought about the small figure he had just seen, "Is there only two ordinary carriages in that house?"
Yan Xiaosi said, "Yes, the two carriages are in the front yard. They were discovered before I even went to the backyard. I'll go check it out tonight..."
"No, you've been exposed. They'll strengthen their defenses." Shangguan Yunxiao was silent for a moment. "Turn back."
"What?" Yan Xiaosi thought he was hallucinating. "Where are you going back to?"
"Go to the house we were just at."
Yan Xiaosi looked worried. "Your Highness, that man was about to come over with the bowl in his hand. If we go back, he'll become suspicious."
Shangguan Yunxiao thought about the familiar corner of clothing he saw and said, "I'll go back in a different direction. I need to confirm whether I saw it wrongly."
"Is it the Ninth Prince?"
"Not sure, maybe."
A quarter of an hour later, Yan Xiaosi made a sharp turn and parked the carriage at the teahouse opposite Luoxia Cottage. "Your Highness, would you like to go into the teahouse so you can stand higher and see farther?"
"good."
A moment later, Shangguan Yunxiao appeared by the window in the private room on the third floor.
The front yard of Luoxia Cottage is in full view outside the gate, while the inner yard is blocked by a screen wall, blocking the view of peepers.
…
Xiao Lingyu got on the carriage and lay down on the couch. When he closed his heavy eyes, Su Xingyi's magnetic and gentle voice sounded in the carriage.
"Xingyun, Madam has rested, please drive slower."
Xingyun responded in a low voice: "Okay, Master Su."
Xiao Lingyu pursed his lips slightly with a faint smile on his face. Su Xingyi is really a caring and good husband.
Xiao Lingyu was in a good mood and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Su Xingyi saw that she had fallen asleep, so he stood up, walked over, sat beside her, and picked up her right hand to take a closer look.
There are no calluses on the palm, only a thin callus on the middle finger.
Su Xingyi gently stroked the callus here, trying to smooth it out.
After a while, Su Xingyi picked up Xiao Lingyu's left hand and looked at it.
There were no calluses on the five fingers of his left hand, but when he saw the shallow lotus-shaped scar on the palm of his hand, his heart suddenly tightened.
With such a big scar, how painful it must have been when my palm was bleeding.
Su Xingyi gently stroked the faint scar and saw that Xiao Lingyu would not wake up for a while.
He couldn't help but kiss her palm and didn't leave for a long time.
Xiao Lingyu suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile, "What are you doing?"
Su Xingyi was caught red-handed, his heart beating so fast that it almost jumped into his throat.
Oh no, what should I do? !
How to explain this behavior?
"Xiao Yu, I'm helping you..." Su Xingyi quickly took out a handkerchief and grabbed Xiao Lingyu's left hand. "Your palms are sweating. I'm wiping them for you."
Xiao Lingyu: ...
When did Su Xingyi learn to lie with his eyes open?
Xiao Lingyu frowned, "Are you... wiping the sweat off my palms?"
He couldn't tell the truth and would never admit that he kissed her secretly.
"You sweat when you sleep, especially on your palms. I just noticed it when I took a closer look. I was worried you might be uncomfortable, so I wiped the sweat off your face."
Seeing that his lie was quite plausible, Xiao Lingyu was speechless for a moment.
Xiao Lingyu was no longer sleepy at this moment. He sat up from the couch and whispered in Su Xingyi's ear, "Next time, don't help me with things when I'm asleep. At least wait until I'm awake. If I don't know you're doing things for me, won't you be at a disadvantage?"
Su Xingyi said hurriedly: "It's not a loss, it's not a loss. I do good things without leaving a name."
He didn't dare to overstep the line even though Xiaoyu was awake. Wouldn't it be a shame to get his face swollen?
Xiao Lingyu looked at him with a smile. He was not at a disadvantage, but she was.
Forget it, I won’t point it out to save him embarrassment.
Xiao Lingyu picked up Tai Zhuo's portrait and said, "Since you like helping me so much, go to the studio and buy some painting supplies when you get back. I want to draw a few more portraits of Tai Zhuo."
Su Xingyi asked, "Why do you draw so many paintings?"
"Didn't Tai Zhuo send someone with the portrait to look for Xiao Xi'er? Before, we were in a passive position, trying to avoid them. Now that we have the portrait, we can turn the passive position into the active one."
Su Xingyi understood instantly, "You want to find this person in advance through the portrait, so that it will be easier to guard against them."
Xiao Lingyu nodded. "That's right. I'm worried they'll come to inquire about the source of the fragrant dew. I want the Silu and Lu families to be mentally prepared in advance. Once Tai Zhuo shows up, we can target him and give him some wrong information, so he'll definitely return empty-handed."
Su Xingyi was silent for a moment, "We can just take him down."
"We can't touch him for now. If we do, the Crown Princess will send other confidants to look for him... Little Xi'er is only three years old, a carefree age. We have to wait a few more years or until she grows up before we tell her... I want to give her a happy and loving childhood."
Su Xingyi couldn't help but feel a little worried. "We still don't know how powerful the Crown Princess is. She can send a large number of spies here, and her determination to find Xiao Xi'er won't be easily dispelled."
Xiao Lingyu said, "For now, we can only test her temper and see what she will do after wasting her manpower and energy and still gaining nothing. Then we will know how powerful Xiao Xier's enemies are, and we will be able to find a way to deal with her."
Su Xingyi said, "By then, won't Xiao Xi'er have to return to her biological parents and live in Nankun?"
Xiao Lingyu patted him and said, "A grown-up son is no longer under the control of his mother. Even if Xiao Xi'er doesn't return to Nankun, she will get married when she grows up and leave us to live with her husband..."
Su Xingyi slumped his shoulders, "Then... I want to raise a few more Xiaojiu."
Xiao Lingyu: ...
He actually wanted to pick up a child and raise him!
"Xingyi, Xiaojiu is already this big. Raising a few more will be different from raising Xiaoxier and the others. You have to raise children from infancy."
Su Xingyi said, "It's not easy to pick up a baby."
"Don't worry, you will have your own baby..."
