Chapter 71 Jie Chen, are you jealous?
Xie Chen followed Xiangying to the room where she lived.
As soon as I opened the door, there was a huge group of people inside.
Qi Fengyi was teaching Xiang Xiuxiu boxing, while Lin Lingxiang was helping Xiangli walk during their daily practice.
Concubine Yu and the Seventh Princess sat aside and sorted the pots and pans.
There was also Fang Gan crawling all over the ground carrying Xiang Yuanxiao on his back.
The moment Jie Chen appeared at the door, everyone in the room fell into deathly silence.
Xie Chen frowned and stared at Fang Gan: "Why are you here?"
Xiang Yuanxiao swung his little feet and squeezed his belly like he was riding a big horse.
He raised his head and said, "We are playing the donkey riding game, and Uncle Fang came to accompany us. Is that not okay?"
Fang Gan corrected: "You're wrong again, this is called riding a big horse!"
He pulled the little guy down with his backhand, then stood up, patted his robe, and said, "It's someone else's turn at the wheelhouse. Now is my rest time."
After saying that, Fang Gan actually winked at Xiang Ying who was behind Jie Chen.
Xie Chen's brows were furrowed into the shape of a "川" character.
Xiangying pretended not to see it and called Yupin and the Seventh Princess: "You and Taoxue go and clean up these fish, and prepare the other one and send it to Mr. Lin."
Lin Lingxiang thanked them quickly, and the others left in order.
Fang Gan took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile: "Can I help the princess too? I'll start the fire later."
"Sure." Xiangying was naturally willing to do the hard work.
She rolled up her sleeves and prepared to move all the pots and pans out.
At this time, Xie Chen touched her sleeve and said in a deep voice: "Apply the medicine first."
Xiangying almost forgot.
"Give the medicine to Qi Fengyi, and thank the two military supervisors for me later."
Xie Chen was stunned. He never expected that he would become redundant?
Don't you need his help?
Xiang Xiuxiu held the little rabbit pillow that Xiangying sewed for her and stood in front of Jie Chen, looking at him.
The little girl blinked her big watery eyes and said, "Bad uncle, are you here to deliver medicine?"
Fang Gan leaned over and said, "Xiu Xiu called him a bad uncle, what did he call me?"
Xiang Xiuxiu said in a baby voice: "Just call me good uncle."
Fang Ganlang smiled and said, "Come on, Xiuxiu, good uncle will take you to ride a big horse."
Jie Chen frowned as he watched the children playing with Fang Gan. He directly grabbed Xiangying's wrist.
"I forgot to get my medicine. Come with me to get it."
"Why don't you send someone to deliver it? Hey!" Xiangying was dragged out of the cabin without any explanation.
Fang Gan glanced at Jie Chen's back calmly.
Xiangying was taken to Jie Chen's room.
"Where is the medicine?" she asked, holding out her hand.
Jie Chen closed the door with his backhand, and his tall figure stood in front of her, his dark sword-like brows slightly wrinkled.
"Why am I still a bad uncle to my kids?"
Xiangying was startled, then a smile filled her phoenix eyes and she burst out laughing.
Would Xie Chen still care about this?
"It's not my fault. The little guys still remember you taking our horses."
"Can't you say a few good words for me? After all, I am their..." At the end, he swallowed the word "father" and pursed his thin lips.
Xiangying looked at him with a smile, with light coming in from the window behind her, shining on her slightly scattered black hair, casting a faint brown color.
"Jie Chen, you are not jealous."
"I didn't." He denied it immediately without thinking.
How could he be jealous of her and Fang Gan? What was Fang Gan? Besides, Xiangying was not that important.
The next second, Xiangying was seen crossing his arms, and a few determined words came out of his red lips.
"You got jealous when you saw the kids being so affectionate and ignoring you, that's for sure."
Xie Chen's expression darkened.
Oh, so this is what she meant by jealous.
Xie Chen's eyes gradually turned cold: "You think too much, but I don't think Fang Gan is reliable, and I'm worried that the children will get hurt."
Xiangying thought about the abilities of the three little ones.
Can they get hurt? It would be good if they don't kill Fang Gan.
"Children are smarter than you think." Xiangying said, and held out his hand, "Where's the medicine? Give it to me quickly, I have to go back and make fish soup."
She is hungry.
Jie Chen walked to the closet, pretended to search for it, and quietly took it out from his sleeve.
He really wanted to deliver the medicine just now, but with so many people around, it was not convenient for him.
"Lie down, I'll help you." This time, he said it directly.
Xiangying raised her eyebrows: "Qi Fengyi can help me."
Before, on the second ship, we asked him to help because there was no one else around to help.
Now that he's back, Xiangying doesn't need to bother him anymore.
Unexpectedly, Xie Chen looked at her with his dark eyes: "Fang Gan is staying in your room and won't leave. It's inconvenient. I'll do it."
As he said this, he held her shoulders forcefully and asked Xiangying to sit down.
She looked up at him with a smile.
It seemed as if he wanted to figure out the reason behind Jie Chen's sudden enthusiasm.
However, Xiangying looked for a long time and only saw the seriousness in Jie Chen's eyes.
After the boat repair incident, his opinion of her changed a lot and his attitude towards her became better.
Xiangying stretched out his hand and untied the belt with his white fingertips.
Xie Chen immediately turned his back.
He didn't turn around until he heard Xiangying lying down.
Like before, he picked up a dollop of ointment with his slender fingertips and applied it to the bruise on her lower back.
Xiangying yawned, as if he was enjoying it.
Jie Chen lowered his head and saw obvious blood-purple bruises on the snow-white skin.
He asked the military doctor on behalf of Xiangying, and he was told that this was a bruise caused by a collision, and it would heal faster if it could be rubbed out.
Xie Chen thought about it and did not ask Xiangying anymore. Instead, he applied the ointment on his fingertips and then covered his slim waist with his entire palm.
It was also at this time that he realized that Xiangying was very thin.
The waist can almost be covered with one hand.
"Hiss!" Xiangying felt his hot palm rubbing the injured area and frowned slightly in pain.
She propped herself up and looked back: "Be gentle!"
The scarred man who was standing at the door and was about to knock suddenly froze.
The voice just now... seemed to be Xiangying's?
Then, Xie Chen's calm voice came: "Just bear with it, this is good for you."
Xiangying groaned in pain: "No, no, it hurts too much, let's leave it at that for today."
Scarface's eyes widened, and his dark face turned as red as burning charcoal!
Oh no, oh no, he seemed to have heard something terrible!
Military Inspector Jie and the Princess are really something, how dare they do this and that in broad daylight.
He ran away in a hurry.
Inside the house, Xiangying was tying her clothes, with a hint of complaint in her eyes.
"Did you hear the military doctor say that rubbing bruises can heal them? Then he is a quack, not even as good as me."
Xie Chen looked at her with dark eyes and said in a normal tone, "But you should apply the medicine every day. Come back at this time tomorrow."
He refused to go to her place because she was too noisy.
Xiangying hummed perfunctorily.
These medicines of Xie Chen are not as effective as the medicine spray in her space.
In order to return with a full load every time like Xiang Ying, Xiang Qianqian always stood at the bow.
Take as much as you can.
After a whole day, she really gained something.
However, General Ke took a look at the wooden barrel she handed over.
"It's really strange. You spent a whole day fishing for these river fish, but you didn't catch as much as Xiangying caught with one net."
Xiang Qianqian's smile froze, and she tried to smooth things over: "I didn't make much, but I was willing to help the military supervisor, unlike my elder sister who only cared about herself. Even if she made a lot, it would be useless."
Military Supervisor Ke nodded slightly and had someone give Xiang Qianqian one or two ounces of minced meat.
She took it with joy and left with a smile.
For three consecutive days, Xiang Qianqian went to the bow to catch river fish and took them to exchange for meat with General Ke.
But, Xiangying fishes for one day and eats for three days, while she fishes for three days and eats for one day.
There is less and less fresh river food, and Xiang Qianqian herself is getting anxious.
Until that evening, she was still standing at the bow.
After casting the net for a whole day, I only caught some small fish fry and clams.
Military Supervisor Ke said that if she gave less and less, he would definitely not give her minced meat anymore.
Xiang Qianqian was anxious.
Her face has become tanned these days. She is really trying her best to keep stuttering.
No matter what, she must catch a big fish today!
suddenly!
She saw the net logo sink violently, as if something had crashed into the net.
Xiang Qianqian was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled the net, but found that it was extremely heavy.
It must be a big fish! It must be the weight of several of them!
She called out excitedly, asking the soldiers passing by to come and help.
Xiangying had just lit the oil lamp and was about to give Xiangli acupuncture for his injuries.
But I heard screaming and crying outside.
The three little ones were all startled.
Xiangying frowned: "What happened outside?"
Tao Xue went out to find out, and came back after a while with a very pale face.
"Something happened! The fifth princess fished up something incredible."
