It was already the beginning of the Xu hour when they returned to the Ye Mansion. Chen Qiu and Xuelang stayed in a carriage along the way. Ye Chen was depressed all the way. When they arrived at the Ye Mansion, Ye Chen waited in the carriage without getting off. He did not ask the coachman to remind Chen Qiu, but just sat in the carriage in a rage.
As soon as Chen Qiu got off the carriage, he asked someone to bring a stretcher to help carry the snow wolf in. "Be careful, carry it back to Qiuchen Courtyard, and then ask someone to find Xiao Hang and Lan Yu." Ye Chen sat in the carriage, his silver teeth almost broken. The carriage had been stopped for a quarter of an hour and no one remembered him.
"You help my husband down, I'll go see Xuelang first." After Chen Qiu settled everyone down, he chased Xuelang to Qiuchen Courtyard.
"Master," the driver called out from outside the door, not knowing whether he should open it.
"None of your business. Park the car back in the yard and do what you need to do." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he leaned against the wall of the car dejectedly. Qiu'er really didn't care about him anymore. It turned out that they always went home hand in hand!
Chen Qiu had no idea that Ye Chen was sulking, and his entire attention was focused on the pregnant female wolf.
When we arrived at Qiuchen Courtyard, Lan Yu came out. Ever since she decided to let Xiao Hang go, Lan Yu had been staying in Qiuchen Courtyard except for making medicine for Xiaofu. Later, she was annoyed by Xiao Hang's pestering and simply stopped going to the medicine garden. She bought her own herbs and made medicine in Qiuchen Courtyard.
"What's going on?" Lan Yu came out of the house and saw everyone carrying something, so he chased after them to take a look.
"What did you carry back?" Lan Yu pulled Chen Qiu and asked, "It's a snow wolf. It's injured. Come and take a look at it quickly." Chen Qiu pulled Lan Yu and went to the snow wolf that had been put down.
Lan Yu walked to the side of the snow wolf and gently placed her hand on its bulging belly. "It has entered the birthing period. It will be in the next few days."
"First, take a look at the wound on its body. When I was bandaging its forelimb, I seemed to see bones."
"Wait a moment, I'll go get some medicine. You guys prepare some liquor and I'll see what the situation is." Lan Yu stood up to get the medicine, and a servant responded and went to get the liquor.
"Madam, why is there a snow wolf here?" Liuyun squatted beside the snow wolf and asked Chen Qiu in confusion.
Chen Qiu could only shake his head, "From its injuries, it can only be seen that it was brought here by a human. However, ordinary circus animal trainers usually only train tigers and the like. Because wolves are cunning by nature, few people can train them to be obedient."
"I've seen people hunting snow wolves. They usually take the wolf skins to sell or use them themselves. I've never seen anyone catch a snow wolf alive. Snow wolves are the aristocrats among wolves. They have the cunning nature of wolves, but more of them are proud. If they are caught, they will either take the lives of the hunters, or starve to death without food or water." Pang Hu folded his arms and looked down at the snow wolf.
"But she is pregnant. A mother will not watch her child die. No matter how difficult the situation is, she will protect her child. This is a mother's instinct, and it applies to both humans and animals. Maybe her instinct as a mother makes her choose to survive?" Chen Qiu said his guess, completely forgetting Ye Chen's existence.
"Your speculations are of no help to it. The most important thing for it now is to survive and give birth to the baby." Lan Yu took out the medicine, untied the straps on the snow wolf's paws, and re-applied medicine and bandaged it.
"The wounds on the front paws are more serious, and the wounds on the hind paws are not light either. They were all caused by the ropes, so it is difficult for it to stand up. The mouth must have been scratched by something made of iron, something like a horse hoof, to prevent it from biting people." Lan Yu expressed his guess while applying medicine to the snow wolf.
After settling the snow wolf, Chen Qiu casually ate some food, and even at this time he didn't remember that Ye Chen was missing.
After Chen Qiu entered the room, she habitually called out, "Husband," but no one responded. She called out again, but still no one responded. Then Chen Qiu remembered that she seemed not to have seen Ye Chen since she came back.
After thinking about it carefully, she had a guess, "My husband didn't get off the car? But why? Is he angry with me? Not really!" Chen Qiu went out to ask the man who drove the car for Ye Chen today, but then she thought and didn't ask him. It would be so embarrassing if people knew about it!
So Chen Qiu walked to the stable alone, found the carriage that Ye Chen was riding in today, lifted the curtain and went in. Ye Chen was sitting right opposite him, his fists clenched tightly, gritted his teeth, and sulked there.
Chen Qiu got on the carriage. There was no moonlight outside for her to see Ye Chen's expression clearly. She just knew that this person was Ye Chen based on the smell and feeling.
"Husband, are you...are you angry?" Chen Qiu asked tentatively, but did not step forward.
With a "humph" sound, Chen Qiu was sure that this was Ye Chen, and immediately threw himself into Ye Chen's arms. Ye Chen stretched out his hand to catch the person who threw himself at him, but still held back and said nothing.
"Husband, why don't you get out of the car?" Chen Qiu hugged Ye Chen's neck and acted coquettishly, without mentioning that she had forgotten Ye Chen.
Ye Chen hugged Chen Qiu with both hands and did not respond to Chen Qiu's words, "When did you find out that I was missing?"
Chen Qiu didn't expect Ye Chen not to respond. He had originally thought of taking the initiative, but he didn't expect Ye Chen to not respond. He didn't react immediately and paused before he stammered, "Well, actually... I'm so smart. I actually discovered it a long time ago. It depends on how long you can stay angry."
Ye Chen suddenly raised his hand and gently patted Chen Qiu's butt, "Huh, nonsense, I think you called me when you were going back to sleep, and you didn't hear my response before you realized that I didn't go back, right?"
Chen Qiu touched the butt that was not hurt at all and complained, "Who knew that you would be jealous of a wolf, and a female wolf at that. Don't you feel ashamed to say it out loud?" She spoke in a very low voice at first, but she felt more confident after the last sentence. She was not ashamed of being jealous of a female wolf, and she was still throwing a tantrum here. It was all her husband's fault anyway.
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows and patted Chen Qiu again, "Huh? You even lost your husband, and you don't allow me to be angry, huh?" Chen Qiu was about to argue again, but unexpectedly, Ye Chen held the back of her head and kissed her. He coaxed Chen Qiu to open her mouth and took the opportunity to penetrate her.
The next day while having breakfast, Madam Xiao looked at Ye Chen and said with a smile, "I heard that someone stayed in the carriage until midnight last night before returning to the house?" Ye Chen remained calm and continued to drink his porridge. Chen Qiu's face was almost completely covered with the porridge bowl.
"Who is it?" The old Duke didn't want his wife's words to go to waste, so he asked in agreement.
"I, Qiu'er got off the car and forgot me in the car." Ye Chen still had that expression, as if he had just accidentally left something in the car.
Chen Qiu reached out and pinched Ye Chen. Ye Chen only tensed up for a moment, his face still looking like he was asking for a beating. But after a moment of shock, everyone at the table burst into laughter.
