In the quiet courtyard, Lin Zhixi stood in front of the door, looking at the motionless people inside through the window, her red lips pursed slightly.

"Sister Zhixi, my lord..." Ah Li followed behind with a tray, looking at the heavy expression on Lin Zhixi's face, she asked in a low voice.

It has been two days since the Lord brought his wife back and she has been sitting in the room without eating or drinking.

"Give it to me." Taking the fish soup from Ah Li, raising her hand to straighten her clothes, Lin Zhixi knocked on Ji Wuhen's door.

"Enter."

After getting permission, he opened the door and walked in.

Inside the house, the view was extremely dim, the windows were blocked, not a trace of light came through, and the charcoal fire was not lit.

The winter in the capital is no better than that in southern Xinjiang. The wind is biting and snow fell last night. The room is extremely cold. Ji Wuhen puts the fish soup in his hand.

Lin Zhixi walked to the stove, installed the silver charcoal and lit it.

Along with the curl of green smoke, the temperature in the room slowly rose.

"Fu Youxing has gone back. It seems he is planning to leave." Lin Zhixi took the kettle aside and placed it on the stove. Looking back at Ji Wuhen who had not moved, Lin Zhixi spoke in a low voice.

"Yeah." After a while, he got a response.

After the hot water boiled, he poured a cup and brought it to Ji Wuhen. He lowered his eyes and looked at the Xuan Iron Order that he kept rubbing in his palm: "We...it's time to leave."

Staring at the clear water in the cup, Ji Wuhen said nothing and raised his hand to take it.

After a long time, the thin lips slowly said: "Let's go."

……

In Qiushui Pavilion, Shen Xixi held Qing Huan in her arms, and in front of her were servants walking around.

"Husband, why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Looking up at Fu Youxing who was writing furiously on the desk in the bedroom, Shen Xixi couldn't help but ask.

After stuffing the written letter into the letter paper, sealing it with beeswax and handing it to the boy aside, Fu Youxing walked to Shen Xixi with a smile.

Seeing the worry on her little face, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Nothing, my husband finally took a day off today. He wanted to take Xi'er out for a walk, so he didn't discuss it with Xi'er in advance. Madam, don't you?" Will you blame your husband?"

Knowing that Fu Youxing wanted to hide it from her, Shen Xixi nodded gently and asked no more questions.

Looking at the baby in her arms, she looked at him with clear eyes: "Husband, what should I do with Qing Huan? She is still young and can't stand the bumpy road."

After hearing her words, Fu Youxing paused, and his stern eyes slowly moved down to look at the child in Shen Xixi's arms.

Because she was born prematurely, she is a little smaller than an ordinary child. Fortunately, Shen Xixi took good care of her and was in good health. She had just finished breastfeeding and was sleeping soundly on Shen Xixi's shoulder, with her bright red mouth licking her lips. Very cute.

Looking at her, Fu Youxing's heart softened, and he felt like he was a father for the first time.

"Husband?" Seeing him looking straight at the child without saying a word, Shen Xixi couldn't help but remind her, and couldn't help tightening her arms around the child.

"Qing Huan? Did Xi'er name her?" After coming back to his senses, Fu Youxing stretched out his fingers and held Xiao Qing Huan's exposed little hand.

"Well, do you like it, husband?" Seeing that he posed no threat to Qing Huan, Shen Xixi relaxed and nodded softly.

"I like it. Xi'er takes good care of her, and Qing Huan is very well-behaved." Fu Youxing held her hands weakly, not daring to use force for fear of hurting her daughter, with a smile on her lips.

In the past twenty years, in this mansion, I have someone who is connected to me by blood.

"My husband hasn't answered Xi'er yet, should we take Qing Huan with us?" Looking at the loving look in Fu Youxing's eyes, a sneer flashed across Shen Xixi's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Fu Youxing, who had played with women all his life, really cared about this family relationship so much.

It's a pity... he is destined to be alone. His parents have been poisoned by Li Wanrou, and Qing Huan is not his flesh and blood.

And he will never have another child of his own in this life!

"Stay in the house, we'll be back soon." Fu Youxing's eyes showed reluctance as he coveted the warmth in his palms.

Thinking of what the emperor told me, I had to be cruel.

This trip is extremely dangerous, and taking Qing Huan with her will only harm her.

"Okay." After receiving the answer, Shen Xixi lowered her long eyelashes to cover the emotions in her eyes.

Now that Li Wanrou is seriously ill, the child can only be left to Hung Hom to take care of her.

Afraid of attracting attention, the departure time was set at night two days later.

After seeing off Fu Youxing, Shen Xixi sent a message to Hongxiao saying that she wanted to see her.

In the past few days, Fu Minghe went out with a lot of people, and the number of people guarding Yuqiong Garden was reduced a lot, so it was easy to get rid of them.

"Tell me, ancestors, what's the matter?" At noon, Hong Hao walked over wearing a pink skirt and twisting her waist.

Now that the housekeeper's key has been handed over to her, her food and clothing expenses have also become better. The materials on her body are all the latest materials, and her head is surrounded by bright red hairpins.

"Qing Huan needs you to take care of her for a while." Knowing that she was very busy now, Shen Xixi didn't say any nonsense and directly stated her intention.

"Huh? Shen Xixi...you don't really think of yourself as the child's biological mother, do you? Do you need to say this in person?" He sat down on the chair next to Shen Xixi and rubbed his sore waist. Silently rolling his eyes.

Just ask that girl Twelve to talk about this little thing.

Now that he came here, he just told her that he needed to kill the child.

"After all, it is a human life. Now that you are the boss in the house, this trivial matter is naturally not worth mentioning."

"Don't bother me, please don't treat me badly. How can I take this person away, and how can I hold him back to you later?"

Unable to stand Shen Xixi's compliments, Hongxiao begged for mercy again and again.

He made a promise.

"By the way, the girl from the Li family has entered the house, and she has been arranged next to Qixia Pavilion. What should I say?" After joking for a while, Hongxiao's eyes turned serious when she looked at Shen Xixi, thinking of the woman from the Li family who entered the house today. .

"Well, let this girl take over the work of serving patients in the future, so that the sisters can tell the truth." Meeting Hong Xiao's eyes looking forward to a good show, Shen Xixi raised her red lips lightly, with a little starlight in her eyes.

The girls of the Li family all have high aspirations, so how could they be willing to be slaves and maidservants, living below others?

"You... are very slippery." Hearing the tone of Shen Xixi's words, she raised her red gauze eyebrows slightly and chuckled.

She inquired and found out that the Li Huirou who came had been bullied by Li Wanrou since she was a child.

She was bullied by Li Wanrou when she was a child, and was pushed into the water in the cold winter months. She was infertile for the rest of her life, so she was still in her boudoir at the age of twenty-eight.

Now that this person is here, Li Wanrou's "illness" may be even worse.

After the two separated, Shen Xixi took people to Qixia Pavilion to visit her mother-in-law, who was seriously ill.

In just a few days, Li Wanrou could no longer get out of bed and could only lie on the bed, unable to turn over.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law is here to see you!" Looking at Li Wanrou who kept opening her mouth but unable to make any sound, Shen Xixi smiled in the corners of her eyes and spoke in a clear voice.

"Is this the third grandma?"
