Chapter 218 I'm waiting for my wife at home
"Husband, why are you here?"
Chunxi's tone was a little vague. Even though she could feel Shen Qingyuan's body temperature, it still felt very unreal.
How could he suddenly appear here?
Lin Hu still held the knife tightly in his hand, not letting down his guard. However, Lin Bao couldn't help but ask curiously, "This is your husband. He doesn't look old at all."
Zheng'er, who was lying in his arms and drinking a bowl of goat's milk, began to make babbling sounds.
"Uncle Bao, I just said my husband is a few years older than me, I never said he was old," Chunxi explained, turning around and introducing Shen Qingyuan, "These two are Uncle Hu and Uncle Bao. Thanks to their protection along the way, Zheng'er and I are safe."
Chunxi's tone was still intimate, and she didn't show any sign of turning hostile just because she had Shen Qingyuan as her backer.
After hearing this, Lin Bao felt a little embarrassed.
If they hadn't taken this job, the young couple wouldn't have been separated for so long.
Shen Qingyuan did not question Chunxi's words. He glanced at Lin Hu and Lin Bao, nodded and said, "Uncle Hu, Uncle Bao, thank you very much."
Although Shen Qingyuan's tone was flat, it could be heard that he was sincere. Lin Hu slowly let go of the knife. Lin Bao looked down at Zheng'er guiltily, not knowing how to answer.
After dinner, Lin Hu and Lin Bao took Zheng'er to rest first, and Shen Qingyuan followed Chunxi into her room.
Although Lin Hu and his team received a lot of rewards, they were still very frugal along the way. They only booked two low-class rooms in the inn today.
The room was cramped and simple, and the floor creaked when stepped on. Chunxi didn't bother to turn on the light. As soon as the door was closed, she put her arms around Shen Qingyuan's waist.
"Husband, I haven't washed my hair or taken a bath properly these days because I've been on the road. I might smell. Please don't despise me."
Chunxi's voice was muffled, and his nose couldn't help but feel sore.
Besides being tired, I miss you more.
She really missed Shen Qingyuan very much.
He started thinking about it from the day he set out to Qu County to pick up the envoys.
Shen Qingyuan did not despise Chunxi. He responded to the hug with more strength than Chunxi did, silently telling Chunxi.
He missed her too.
Smelling the familiar scent of soap, Chunxi relaxed. After a long while, she asked, "Husband, why are you here?"
"My wife has been kidnapped. Over a month has passed with no news. Whether she's alive or dead remains uncertain. Shouldn't I be looking for her?"
Shen Qingyuan asked back, his tone sounding rather resentful, blaming Chunxi for not sending him the message.
Chunxi quickly explained, "I don't know if my husband is doing well in Qu County. I'm afraid you won't receive the letter I wrote. Uncle Hu and Uncle Bao are very vigilant. I'm afraid they'll misunderstand me and think I'm setting up another trap. More importantly, we're in an unfamiliar place and I can't find anyone I can trust to help pass on the letter. I'm afraid if the news leaks, something unexpected will happen."
Anyway, she will do her best to come back to him. It doesn't matter if it's a little late. Just treat it as a surprise for him.
Chunxi's concerns were all justified. Shen Qingyuan stopped nagging her and said solemnly, "The Crown Princess's sister, Prince Yu's wife, will be passing by here in two days. You can ride in her carriage back to the capital with her. She will claim that she rescued you by chance on the way back to the capital, so no one will say anything bad about you."
Chunxi nodded repeatedly, still curious: "How did my husband know I was here?"
"Before leaving the capital, I asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a secret guard."
"Then why didn't he show up and save me sooner?"
Chunxi blurted out, and Shen Qingyuan explained in a gentle voice: "As long as your life is not in danger, the secret guards will not show up easily."
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also wants to know who is behind the scenes.
Chunxi nodded and glanced at Shen Qingyuan: "So my husband has always known my whereabouts. Why didn't he send me a message? I haven't slept well all the way."
"Madam, you have your own opinion. Does it make any difference whether you deliver a letter to your husband or not?"
Shen Qingyuan's words had hidden meaning, and Chunxi couldn't help but pinch his waist.
Shen Qingyuan's waist and abdominal muscles tensed instantly, becoming so stiff that he couldn't pinch at all. Instead, Chunxi's hands quickly became sore.
Shen Qingyuan's eyes dimmed slightly, but he didn't have time to stay for long. He said solemnly, "I'll take Uncle Hu and Uncle Bao back first. You and Zheng'er wait here for Prince Yu's wife."
"Are you leaving now, my husband?"
Chunxi suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
This made Shen Qingyuan's lips curl up a little. He rubbed Chunxi's head and said, "Madam was rescued by Prince Yu's wife. I can only wait for Madam's return at home."
"oh."
Chunxi nodded, and when she saw Shen Qingyuan turning around to leave, she couldn't help but put her arms around his neck and kissed him on tiptoe.
Shen Qingyuan didn't hesitate and immediately deepened the kiss.
Having not seen each other for a long time, they kissed each other very hard, their breathing and heartbeats were disordered.
Fortunately, Shen Qingyuan still had his sanity and pushed Chunxi away in time: "Two days will pass quickly. I will wait for you at home."
"good."
Shen Qingyuan briefly explained the situation to Lin Hu and Lin Bao, and Lin Bao handed Zheng'er over to Chunxi and left with Shen Qingyuan.
Chunxi hugged Zheng'er and lay down on the bed. She savored the kiss and was about to fall asleep when she suddenly opened her eyes wide in a daze.
etc!
The secret guard reported her whereabouts to the lord. Did he also report to the prince that she and Uncle Tiger and Uncle Leopard pretended to be members of the Wei family in Yunzhou and beat the governor's only son to a cripple?
Will His Royal Highness the Crown Prince punish her and put her in jail?
The charm and strong sleepiness that remained on his lips disappeared instantly. Chunxi sat up, fully awake, and carefully analyzed the current situation.
It was Wei Lingze who played tricks on her first, and the son of the Yunzhou governor was not a good guy either. What she did could be considered as getting rid of a threat to the people.
And if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to punish her, he wouldn't have let Prince Yu's wife bring her to the capital, right?
In that case, can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be considered to be in cahoots with her?
No, no, when we met at the Xiao family before, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and you had a very close relationship. Later, when you went to Xuzhou, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince secretly provided you with a lot of troops to support you. Later, when the family was divided, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also came to help make the decision.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been biased towards adults from the beginning, so he also took care of her.
After figuring this out, Chunxi felt relieved and lay down again.
The bed was very hard and made a dull sound. Zheng'er was disturbed and hummed uncomfortably. Chunxi quickly patted him and coaxed him softly, "Zheng'er, don't be afraid. Your aunt is here. Your uncle just came too. We are very safe now. Moreover, we have His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to support us. No one can bully us. Just sleep peacefully."
Zheng'er soon began to snore softly, and Chunxi fell asleep too.
Two days later, Chunxi carried Zheng'er in her arms and got on the carriage of Prince Yu's wife and returned to Beijing together.
