After waiting in the house for an unknown amount of time, Ling Jiheng finally came back.
He first went to Rongsiyuan to greet the old man and the old lady, then was driven back and went straight into Qingfengyuan.
Shu Muyun was hinted by the old lady and did not dare to leave the house.
He peeked through the crack in the door and saw that his son was safe and sound. He felt relieved and quickly lay down on the kang to sleep.
It was the dead of night and she was so sleepy that she fell asleep in a matter of seconds, not knowing how her son and daughter-in-law were doing.
As soon as Ling Jiheng entered the room, he noticed the little movement in the east room.
He wanted to go over and say hello, but the door was closed. Well, he decided not to go over and offend her.
When I pushed the door open and entered the room, I saw my young wife leaning her head on the table, nodding her head, looking sleepy and pitiful.
A warm feeling rose in my heart, and I was about to go forward and carry the person to the kang.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Chi Xingyue woke up. His voice was soft and tender: "You're back. Have you eaten?"
Ling Jiheng nodded: "Why aren't you asleep yet? Don't wait for me, go and rest first!"
As he said this, he was about to put his hand through Chi Xingyue's armpit.
Chi Xingyue grabbed his dry and rough hand and said, "I'm fine. You wash up first. Ah~~~"
I couldn't help but yawn, but my mental state was much better.
Seeing Erzhu carrying two wooden buckets in and adding water to the bathtub, Chi Xingyue pushed Ling Jiheng towards the ear room.
At the same time, Erzhu closed the door of the side room and said, "Master, you and the lady should wash up. I am going to sleep!"
He left without any regrets.
Chi Xingyue was a little dumbfounded, but Ling Jiheng felt that he had a clue.
He chuckled and poked Chi Xingyue's cheek, and deliberately said to Xiao Baicha: "It's okay, you have rested well, I can sleep in the open air by myself, and I can also take a bath and wash my face by myself."
Chi Xingyue glared at Ling Jiheng and reached out to take off his cloak. Although his movements were a little awkward, Ling Jiheng felt very happy.
When only a pair of underwear was left, Ling Jiheng felt shy and twisted Chi Xingyue to the side before taking it off swiftly and striding into the bathtub.
Chi Xingyue heard the sound of water and gathered his clothes, placing them close to his body in the basin to be washed tomorrow. He could still make do with his cloak and other items.
Then she turned her head and sprinkled some dry flower petals into the water to cover up some of the scenery. She reached out to rub Ling Jiheng's neck and asked about the situation on the road when he was least prepared.
"I just went to Dahe Village. General Zhou asked me to deliver something to the Cui family."
He completely forgot how he had sent the two soldiers away, and was very polite to his wife.
"It was quite dangerous on the road, wife, you don't know. If it weren't for your man's cleverness, my innocence would be in jeopardy!"
Chi Xingyue's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes became sharper.
Unfortunately, Ling Jiheng had his back to her and didn't notice. He only felt that she stopped moving for a moment.
"Well, tell me in detail?" The voice was still so gentle. Ling Jiheng was extremely relaxed. He raised his hand and held Chi Xingyue's right hand, stroking it while talking about those two disgusting things.
"I never thought that men could be trafficked outside. If I hadn't seen the mandarin duck poison pot, I would have been in trouble. Wife, come quickly, let me kiss and hug you."
Ling Jiheng concealed the fact that he was almost raped. Although everything was under his control, he was still afraid that Chi Xingyue would dislike him, so he revealed it in this way.
As for Cui Yujiao, haha, he didn't even know who the other person was and didn't care about the little incident of being stopped.
Chi Xingyue had never expected that there would be someone so "fashionable" in the Dayong Dynasty.
Although there were indeed periods of male homosexuality in history, there is no precedent here.
All I can say is that the people of Northern Liao are quite fierce and like strong and robust young men. Thinking about it, it's quite chilling!
This kind of trend should be stopped, otherwise it will corrupt the children.
Ling Jiheng said, "Homosexuality isn't prevalent in Northern Liao. Doing this is merely humiliating the people of Dayong. Meanwhile, we're trying to pass on military news through some means."
Chi Xingyue was silent. This kind of thing was not something they could control.
After saying something to Ling Jiheng, he locked the doors on both sides and found a corner to enter the space.
I went to the bathroom to wash up first, and then went to the Nanshan Village Police Station to take a look at the newly appeared third floor.
Seeing that they were all in the office, he cut out a plate of fruit and made a cup of Longjing tea for Ling Jiheng, letting him eat and drink something before going to sleep.
Ling Jiheng nodded and ate the grapes and watermelon clean. He drank a cup of Longjing tea, brushed his teeth, and then pulled Chi Xingyue back to the kang.
Of course, there were some things going on, but both of them were very sensible and didn't really cross the line.
Ling Jiheng held the person in his arms breathlessly. Chi Xingyue wrapped his long hair around her fingertips and secretly talked about the gossip about her parents-in-law.
Especially the part about tiger penis soup, Ling Jiheng couldn't help laughing when he heard it.
He raised his hand and scratched Chi Xingyue's nose, saying angrily, "You're naughty!"
Chi Xingyue didn't care and raised her eyebrows: "It's my parents' fault for doing such evil things."
Ling Jiheng declined to comment on this, because without his father's glass of wine, he couldn't even have a sip of meat soup.
Thinking about it this way, we should thank the other party.
Staring at Chi Xingyue's red, swollen and moist lips, Ling Jiheng's eyes darkened, and without waiting for the other party's reaction, he kissed her again.
In Dahe Village, after Mrs. Cui made sure that Cui Shouqing and Cui Wan'er were asleep, she whispered to Cui Jingzhong.
"Husband, what do you think of Ling Jiheng? If our Wan'er could marry him, she wouldn't have to suffer here!
It is said that a life-saving grace should be repaid with one's own life. It is not too much to repay the kindness of the Ling family's old man by repaying his own young generation, right?"
Cui Jingzhong looked at his wife in surprise and shook his head: "No, our daughter has been pampered and loved so much, how can she..."
Subconsciously, he wanted to say that the merchant family was not worthy of him, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Because with her current status, I'm afraid ordinary people would not be willing to marry her, not to mention the Ling family, whose background is relatively clean and they can make a living!
So he changed the subject: "Looking at his age, he must have already married. Even if our Cui family is in dire straits, there is no reason for us to let our daughter become a concubine!"
Mother Cui sighed, "Wan'er and Shouqing are getting older, but we as their parents are powerless to do anything.
Shouqing is fine, as he can wait a few years to get married, so he won't be delayed. But Wan'er is already sixteen or seventeen, and if she doesn't make plans now, she won't be able to get married.
Cui Jingzhong pursed his lips and said nothing.
To be honest, he still hasn't recovered from the confiscation of property and exile.
I wanted to be loyal to my duties for the rest of my life, but something unexpected happened. The emperor exiled all nine members of the Cui family to Youzhou without even a single piece of evidence. It would be a lie to say I wasn't heartbroken.
While others might still be hoping for his reinstatement, he had no desire to return to that filthy place. Even though his son and daughter had suffered, he feared they would have to marry locally.
Cui Jingzhong was unwilling to accept this, but he had no other choice. Suddenly, he remembered General Zhou who had brought him food, and shook his head, thinking that this method was not advisable.
Since they were not a good match, Cui Wan'er could not possibly marry into the Zhou family as a concubine.
