Chapter 88 I was just worried about you
Lu Qiaoxiao jumped in through the window, only to see the people inside still fighting, with swords clashing and making harsh sounds. Shen Yuheng was not there, and Pei Jinxuan had also disappeared long ago. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Look over there! In the house!" A loud roar and hurried footsteps were heard outside.
Lu Qiaoxiao looked around the room and immediately jumped out of the window at the rear side of the room.
The troops outside are in chaos. Who knows whether there will be people from Pingyang King Wei Wu besides Wei Yan's people.
She is the commander of the Patrol Department, and the investigation is currently only in the undercover stage. If the news of her appearance in the commotion at Zuihonglou tonight is exaggerated and spread by someone with ulterior motives, she will probably be implicated.
If Lu Liang and Pei Jinxuan took advantage of her and used her to threaten Shen Yuheng, it would bring him even more trouble.
Lu Qiaoxiao was in a state of confusion and accidentally stumbled into the backyard of Zuihonglou. The moonlight was very bright tonight, gently shining on the ancient well in the yard. It was quiet and peaceful, forming a sharp contrast with the blood and fighting in the front hall.
Lu Qiaoxiao's heart was in his throat, and he prayed that Shen Yuheng would be fine. When he reached the corner of the corridor, the door on his right suddenly creaked open.
She was pulled over by a great force and pushed against the door with a bang.
The door is closed.
She raised her hand to hit him, but a cool voice rang in her ears:
"Don't move."
Lu Qiaoxiao widened her eyes and saw the man's deep eyes flashing with excitement in the thin moonlight coming through the window. Even his amber pupils became lighter.
"Madam, are you worried about me?" Shen Yuheng's voice was like a fine and dense autumn rain, seeping into her heart bit by bit, and using the coolness of autumn to relieve the stuffy dryness in her chest.
Somehow, when he saw her worried look just now, he felt a joy he had never felt before.
Although he kept her by his side since they got married, he always felt that although she had a somewhat arrogant and unruly personality, she was restrained in front of him.
Are you just coaxing him out of habit? Or do you actually not like him that much?
Shen Yuheng often thought like this, which made him feel nervous. Then, when they were lying in bed together at night, he would hold her chin and interrogate her over and over again.
I saw it today. She was sitting on the beam like a rabbit, but the moment the gangster broke in, she subconsciously jumped down to save him, and the wooden boards on the beam creaked.
Facing his somewhat fiery gaze, Lu Qiaoxiao swallowed hard. Why did this man still look so happy? Outside the door, everyone was on high alert, with knives and guns being used. Aren't they, the literati, most afraid of this?
"Aheng, why did you hide here? Did you call the soldiers of King Ding'an?" She had many doubts in her mind, one of which was why she saw him in the brothel.
Now she knew that she had no choice but to do so in order to investigate the case.
Shen Yuheng stared at her with his dark eyes, his Adam's apple moving slightly. She was dressed as a man tonight, her sparkling eyes were handsome and smart. She didn't wear lip balm, but her lips were still delicate and charming.
"Well, we have been keeping an eye on Lu Liang for a long time. When he opened the gambling house, he not only took the money of the powerful, but also targeted ordinary people. Many people wanted to crush him. This time, Prince Pingyang gained power in the court, which was just an opportunity for everyone to push him down." Shen Yuheng's breathing was a little rapid as he explained, as if he was squeezed in this small space.
This room is more like a storage room, filled with many dusty cabinets, dressing tables, etc., and a breeze would raise a cloud of dust.
Seeing that he was frowning, Lu Qiaoxiao thought that the dust from the wall had gotten on his body and that Shen Yuheng was unhappy.
After all, he is a mysophobe and has to change clean clothes three times a day.
She subconsciously raised her hand to wipe off the dust on his shoulder. Before her hand touched his shoulder, the back of her head was held tightly, and her head rested on his hard palm. She didn't know when a hand appeared on her waist, which made her feel warm under her skin.
Shen Yuheng's cold and clear face suddenly approached, and since he was caught off guard, his jaws were easily pried open.
He kissed her wantonly, his long eyelashes gently brushing across her sensitive cheeks, making her feel itchy.
A quarter of an hour ago, she was still on alert throughout the city, feeling extremely worried that something might happen to this man as he was running around in the brothel.
Now, it seemed like I was the one being targeted, and he was holding me in the utility room and kissing me.
Finally ended——
Lu Qiaoxiao felt weak all over, and was barely able to stand up with his support. She gasped for breath and asked in a questioning tone, "What are you doing?"
A hint of joy flashed across Shen Yuheng's eyes, and he said with certainty, "Someone just passed by. Madam spoke too fast, and I was afraid that others might hear..."
So that's why he wanted to shut her up?
Only then did Lu Qiaoxiao realize the deceptiveness of the man in front of him, and he tightened his grip on his sleeve.
"My lady was worried about me tonight, I——"
"Very happy."
The man seemed to sense her annoyance at being kissed unexpectedly. He suddenly bent down, rubbed his chin against her shoulder, and slowly closed his eyes.
Lu Qiaoxiao felt as if a jade plate was smashed into pieces in his heart, with crisp tinkling sounds falling all over the floor. His heart seemed to be on fire and was burning.
this--
This is no longer an obligation between husband and wife.
Just now, Shen Yuheng—Prime Minister Shen…
Are you acting coquettishly?
Lu Qiaoxiao's heart trembled slightly. Ever since she got married, she knew that this man was strong in every aspect. He treated her with respect and consideration, but he also often came to her in a hurry to make trouble.
When did you show such affection?
Lu Qiaoxiao's breathing became a little uneven. She recalled the appearance of this person in front of his tombstone in her previous life. His distraught look was really as if his wife had died.
It doesn't look like just someone who died had nothing to do with him?
Even if she was the wife of a colleague or a closer friend, why did the usually aloof Prime Minister Shen look so lifeless?
Also, before getting married in this life, she had just broken off the engagement, and the man seemed to have chosen the right time and appeared in front of her on purpose.
It turns out that Shen Yuheng has always had a good impression of me.
I wouldn’t say I like it very much, but at least, there is some affection.
My mother once said that a woman shows six points of love to a man, but in her heart she actually loves him ten points.
If a man only likes a woman a little, he can express it tenfold through sexual relations.
She has the opportunity to live again in this life, and she cannot put all her heart on Shen Yuheng's love for her.
I still have to rely on myself to take one step at a time in the Patrol Department, shoulder to shoulder with him, evenly matched, and protect the people around me, naturally—
In this life, he can't have any trouble...
Lu Qiaoxiao took a deep breath, sorted out the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and met the eyes of the person in front of her again. In her calmness, there was a hint of unconscious joy: "Yes, husband, I was worried about you just now."
