Just as the people from the Eastern Depot ran out to search, news came from the West Market in the capital that two horses had suddenly appeared, causing a large-scale commotion.
When Qi Yu arrived, he saw the two horses that had caused the trouble happily eating the scattered rice and fruit on the ground.
"Flowing Clouds".
At his shout, the white horse quickly raised its head, saw Qi Yu, and very humanely called out to its wife who was only focused on eating.
Two horses strolled towards Qi Yu.
For the past ten years, the reason he kept these two horses outside was that he didn't want to see them and be reminded of her.
He reached out his hand to Liuyun, but to his surprise, the white horse ignored him completely and went with Tafeng to the woman who had just gotten off the carriage.
Tafeng even kept rubbing against her hand, snorting happily.
Qi Yu was stunned for a moment before he realized, could it be because of the fragrance?
Indeed, this woman had the same scent as his Wan'er. Perhaps horses have a more sensitive sense of smell, which is why they were familiar with her.
The Eastern Depot paid compensation to the merchants who were frightened and suffered losses.
Xia Yixin and Qi Yu each led a horse toward the Governor's Mansion. For a moment, Xia Yixin felt as if her own child had caused trouble and she and her husband were cleaning up the mess, and she couldn't help but chuckle.
"What's wrong?"
He was feeling uneasy when he suddenly heard her clear, cheerful laughter.
Her voice has improved a lot recently, at least it doesn't sound bad anymore, and we can foresee how melodious it will be after she fully recovers.
Xia Yixin met his deep eyes and inadvertently blurted out what was on her mind.
After saying that, she regretted it and hurriedly explained, "My lord, please don't overthink it. I just..." She didn't know how to explain anymore.
Qi Yu thought of her dead child. He lowered his eyes slightly and said, "If you want a child, I can have the matchmaker bring some people over tomorrow. If they are good people, I can adopt them as my godson."
Xia Yixin didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
The West Market was not far from the Governor's Mansion. The two men walked in with their horses through the back door, which led directly to the stables.
She was a little worried that the two horses would have to be sent back to that cold, impersonal house.
She tentatively asked, "Sir, these two horses are both rare and exceptional steeds. Keeping them in the stable is a waste of their talents. Could you... leave them here?"
He looked down at her until Xia Yixin felt uncomfortable and even thought he was about to fly into a rage, when the man actually agreed.
"Then stay."
Previously, Qi Yu didn't want to see the two horses for fear of being reminded of painful memories, and she didn't even go to that mansion often. But it's unclear whether it's because she wanted to stop running away, or because it was she who made the suggestion.
At this moment, as if they knew they were about to live a free life, the two horses excitedly jumped up and down, startling Xia Yixin. In her panic, she was bumped by Ta Feng and was about to fall headfirst under Liu Yun's hooves when someone quickly and swiftly grabbed her arm halfway.
He hugged her.
Fearing she might get hurt again, Qi Yu simply picked her up and carried her away from the two horses.
Gui Ling immediately led the other two constables over to calm the excited horse.
After they finished comforting her and turned around, they saw that the lady suddenly blushed, pushed away the eunuch, and ran away in a panic, while the eunuch touched his lips in shock.
"???" Gui Ling had no idea what had happened while they weren't paying attention, but it must have been something big!
Because the wife who always ate with the supervisor didn't come!
Qi Yu looked at the table full of food but lost all appetite, feeling as if he were chewing wax.
His mind was still filled with what had happened that afternoon; she had actually stolen a kiss from him.
This wouldn't be a problem for an ordinary couple, but it left him confused about the situation involving these two.
His reason told him he should warn her against wishful thinking, but... he didn't resist.
Qi Yu's expression grew increasingly grim as he thought about it.
That night, Qi Yu did not return to the master bedroom to sleep. He did not come home all night. Instead, he went to the Ice House, a place he had always avoided. He stayed there for a long time, and only came out at dawn, still covered in cold air.
Gui Ling had been waiting at the door. Seeing his bad expression, he was about to say something to comfort him when he suddenly heard Qi Yu's cold voice. He was stunned for a long time before he could react. "Sir, what you just said was... to bury the former madam?"
The woman in this ice house has been frozen for seven or eight years, a "secret" that the people of the Eastern Depot cannot tell. Today, the Chief Eunuch actually wants to bury her.
Qi Yu's eyes were deep and unfathomable. He didn't blame Gui Ling, but simply said, "Bury her in the previously chosen location," before leaving the Ice Mansion.
A few years ago, Qi Yu had already found an auspicious burial site for himself and his wife. It was a joint burial site for him and his wife. In Gui Ling's view, his current actions were unclear. He didn't know whether he had truly let go or simply taken it all in stride.
In fact, Gui Ling still hoped that her master was the former, after all, it was too painful to hold onto an obsession.
At the Governor's Mansion.
Xia Yixin lay curled up on the bed. She really didn't realize what she had done until after she had already done it.
The more she thought about it, the redder her face became, but then it turned pale.
He didn't come back tonight. Does he hate her?
She angered him.
She went too far.
Like all women in love, after the initial excitement and shyness, she fell into doubt and worry.
The fact that the male supporting character's happiness level was still 75% made her feel a little more at ease. But thinking about it carefully, does the fact that his happiness level didn't increase at all after the wedding mean that he didn't have any other feelings for her at all?
On the contrary, it's the other side.
By the time they returned to the governor's mansion, it was already broad daylight.
