When Xylophone woke up, the sky was just getting light.
Normally, after waking up, he would have to lie in bed for a while before he was completely awake.
However, when Muqin woke up this morning, he subconsciously looked to the side as soon as he opened his eyes.
Not seeing the person who was supposed to be lying next to him, Muqin's face changed. He sat up abruptly, opened the bed curtain, and ran out without even putting on his shoes.
Hearing the noise inside, Fu Yuting got up hurriedly and walked in without saying anything to his son.
Muqin ran out of the inner room and bumped into Fu Yuting who came in after only a few steps.
Fortunately, Fu Yuting stopped in time and the two did not collide.
Seeing her husband running out barefoot wearing only an undershirt, Fu Yuting reached out to pick him up, but was interrupted before she could say anything.
After being picked up, Muqinyi hugged her husband's neck tightly with both hands, looking terrified, "I thought my husband was gone..."
When she woke up and didn't see her husband, Muqin thought that everything that happened last night was just a dream.
The words she wanted to teach him were swallowed back with difficulty after she heard what her husband said.
Fu Yuting sighed inwardly, lowered her head and kissed him on the forehead, "Why don't you believe your husband? When have I ever lied to you?"
"I didn't believe it..."
"Don't get out of bed barefoot anymore. Your underwear is so thin that you'll catch a cold easily."
"With my husband here, he won't give me a chance to get cold, right?" Muqin leaned back a little to increase the distance between them, looked closely at the man in front of her, and smiled slightly.
Seeing the tension and hope in his eyes, Fu Yuting stroked his back and sighed.
The damage done to my husband will probably be difficult to heal in such a short time.
Hearing that her husband didn't say anything but just sighed, Muqin's heart tightened and a huge panic began to spread in her heart.
"From now on, I will never leave Aqin again."
"real?"
Hearing her husband's words, Muqin was delighted, but still a little worried so she asked again.
"real."
"...It feels so good." Muqinyi, who was hanging on her husband, hugged him tightly, with tears in her eyes.
"By the way, Qin'er rested in the side room last night. She should be up now. Husband, do you want to go check on her? Qin'er will definitely be very happy to see you."
When her husband returned to her side, Muqin resumed his chatterbox nature.
And he subconsciously avoided something that was wrong.
He didn't want to think or explore anything, he just wanted his husband to be back with him.
Fu Yuting saw through her husband's escapist mentality at a glance, but he didn't point it out.
It happened so suddenly that from last night till now, my husband's heart has been through a lot of ups and downs.
Afraid that he would have trouble accepting so many things in such a short period of time, Fu Yuting planned to explain it to him in a few days.
"I've met Qin'er. He was really happy to see me." Her eyes became red as soon as she saw him. She must have been crying with joy.
"I saw him. When? It was just daybreak and Qin'er got up already? He's been getting up earlier and earlier these days. If he continues like this, he won't have enough rest time. I'm afraid he'll be shorter than your father in the future..."
"Then I'll talk to him for you."
Listening to her husband chattering in her ear, Fu Yuting smiled and responded from time to time.
Fu Siqin, who was standing not far away, heard the conversation between his father and his grandfather and couldn't help but smack his lips. How could he be shorter than his father in the future?
Even if he can't be taller than his father, he should be as tall as him.
However, seeing the long-lost smile on his father's face, Fu Siqin's eyes were filled with joy, and his heavy heart finally relaxed.
With a father around, a child is truly free from worries, because no matter how great the hardship is, there is always a father to bear it.
After the couple reunited, one talked while the other listened, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
On the other hand, Hei Yi, who had obtained a brief opportunity to condense his soul body, was gathering the remaining shadow guards of the General's Mansion to begin his master's layout.
The remaining shadow guards do not refer to the remaining shadow guards in the general's mansion except the six people who have died.
In a year's time, in addition to Fu Yuting's original shadow guards, the general's mansion had a shadow guard belonging to the fake Fu Yuting.
In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Fu Siqin and Muqinyi seldom let the shadow guards around them take action.
Fu Yuting was a little wary at first, but he gradually let down his guard.
Fu Yuting would definitely not let go of the impostor who occupied his body.
He had used his body to do so many things that hurt his husband and children. How could he not pay a price?
Hei Yi briefly discussed with the other Shadow Guards what had happened in the past two years, as well as the orders given by their deployment master.
On the other hand, relying on their soul state that others could not see, Hei San and his men wandered around the general's mansion, collecting intelligence.
After wandering for a long time, Hei San suddenly remembered that he had not seen Hei Liu since he returned to the General's Mansion, so he quickly asked, "Where is Hei Liu?"
"have no idea."
"Who knows him? I haven't seen him since early morning."
"In the military advisor's residence." This is the taciturn Hei Er.
"What is Hei Liu doing at the military advisor's residence?" Hei Si was surprised, as the master did not tell them to go to the Shen residence.
Seeing that the other brothers all looked confused, Hei Si turned to look at Hei Er, who had a paralyzed face, and waited for his explanation.
Hei Er, who was highly regarded by the other brothers, glanced at them, said nothing, and just floated away.
Hei Liu, who was being talked about by the other Shadow Guard brothers, was indeed in the Shen Mansion at this time.
The other brothers didn't know why he came to the Shen Mansion, and even Hei Liu himself didn't know why he came.
Anyway, when he came to his senses, Hei Liu's soul was already in the Shen Mansion.
Shen Qing is an orphan who has been following generals in battles for many years. In addition, his legs are now broken and he is still unmarried.
No one knew why Shen Qing didn't have even a maid or concubine to warm her bed in her room after more than a year since she returned to Beijing.
However, thinking of his legs, others reacted.
Such a handsome and elegant young man will never be able to walk again in his life, so how could he have the mind to think about such things?
Moreover, if the woman is the one taking the lead in what happens in the room, it can be considered a shame for a grown man.
There is only one master, Shen Qing, in the mansion, and he doesn't need many servants.
The huge Shen Mansion was deserted and desolate.
Hei Liu came all the way here without encountering any servants.
The surrounding environment is too quiet. It's okay for a while, but if I stay here for a long time, I'm afraid I'll go crazy.
After wandering around the Shen Mansion, Hei Liu finally found the location of the military advisor.
In the small bamboo forest, Shen Qing sat alone in the pavilion, looking quietly into the distance.
The wind blew, and the bamboo forest made a rustling sound. The fallen bamboo leaves were blown by the wind for a while before slowly falling down.
Looking from the side, Shen Qing seemed to be much thinner than Hei Liu remembered, and his clothes, which originally fit him well, became a little loose.
Seeing that man so lonely as if he was the only one left in the world, Hei Liu drifted towards him somewhat uncontrollably.
When he was about to get closer, Hei Liu didn't expect that Shen Qing suddenly turned his head to look over here, as if he sensed someone coming.
Suddenly, he ran into those dark eyes and Hei Liu's soul froze.
Can he see himself?
In the Shen Mansion, Fu Yuting was still unaware of the affairs of his own shadow guard and military advisor.
Thinking it was almost time for breakfast, Fu Yuting put down the little husband who had been hanging on him.
He personally helped him put on his clothes, shoes and socks, then waved his hand to let Liangxia and the other three leave, and then he tied up her husband's hair and put in the hairpins.
When they woke up in the morning, they were secretly summoned by Hei Yi. After listening to what Hei Yi told them about the past two years, the four Liangxia maids realized how much they had missed.
It turned out that the general in the mansion was no longer their master, but the one who appeared in front of them now was.
To put it simply, their general's body was taken over by an unknown wild ghost, causing their general to exist only as a soul.
The four maids, whose worldviews had been reshaped, were not in a daze for long and soon recovered.
No matter what, their master came back, and the worry on his face finally disappeared.
Seeing that the general had snatched the job that originally belonged to them, the four of them all looked nostalgic and accustomed to it.
It turned out that it wasn't that the general had changed, but that the man was not their general at all.
Given the general's overbearing look as if he doesn't like others touching his master, how could he be seduced by other coquettish bitches!
Completely unaware of the emotions surging in the hearts of the four maids standing not far behind him, Fu Yuting picked a white magnolia hairpin for her husband.
Seeing that her husband picked out his favorite hairpin at once, Muqin couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth, and the dimple on her left cheek was faintly visible.
Looking at the person with a bright smile in the bronze mirror, Fu Yuting bent down and kissed the dimple on her husband's face.
"My husband is so handsome." Fu Yuting's voice was low and magnetic, making the little husband's ears blush.
"Not serious again..." Muqin covered his burning ears and muttered softly.
"Hmm? What is your husband whispering about? Is he... saying bad things about your husband?" The deep voice continued to tease the young husband.
"Stop talking..." Muqin turned around and covered his mouth to prevent him from speaking any further.
However, her husband did something that he thought was extremely bold, and Muqin quickly withdrew his hand as if frightened.
The warm touch in the palm of his hand seemed to still be there, and Muqin felt a surge of heat rushing up and straight to his head.
"It's time to have breakfast. Don't keep Qin'er waiting too long." Fu Yuting looked at her husband's blushing face and couldn't help but chuckle.
As early as when the couple was flirting, the maids quietly left the inner room, otherwise the shy young man would have been extremely embarrassed.
Of course, Fu Yuting, who is extremely possessive, would never let others have the chance to see how beautiful her husband is.
After Muqinyi's shyness faded, the two of them came out of the house neatly dressed and had breakfast with their son.
