The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Chapter 289

When Han Yun'an heard what Qiao Xi said, he understood that she was trying to drive people away.

On the surface, he said that both he and Xu Yi needed to rest, but in fact he was afraid that if he continued to stay, it would delay Xu Yi's rest.

A bitter feeling slowly rose in his heart, but Han Yun'an tried hard to keep his expression calm.

"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest. I'll be leaving first."

After saying that, he nodded to Xu Yi as a farewell, turned around and left the Xu family courtyard with the ten guards behind him.

Not long after leaving the Xu family courtyard, Han Yun'an suddenly stopped.

"Who among you is the leader?"

Han Yun'an asked the guards behind him in a cold voice.

"I'm!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong man in a gray coarse shirt stood up.

Han Yun'an's face was solemn:

"Divide these people into three teams and take turns guarding outside the Xu family, day and night.

If the girl just now went out, she would have to be followed secretly by two people to ensure her safety.

As for your three meals a day, I will specifically instruct someone to deliver them to you on time.

Rest assured, as long as you fulfill your duties, our Han family will not treat you unfairly."

"Yes!"

They could already earn twice as much monthly salary, and could also take turns to rest. This was a good thing, and they had never encountered such a good thing in all their long years as guards. So as soon as Han Yun'an finished speaking, they couldn't wait to agree in unison without any discussion.

"Okay, go make the arrangements. Once you've made the arrangements, just go to the Han family and tell me."

After saying this, Han Yun'an turned around and left this place that made him feel bitter without waiting for the head guard to answer.

After a short day of rest, Qiao Xi once again sent Xu Yi to the provincial examination hall.

In the first two days, because of Xu Yi's repeated warnings and her attitude of "less trouble is more", she basically did not go out.

But after eating a few pastries at home to fill her stomach, Qiao Xi now had no appetite for pastries, even though her stomach was growling with hunger.

On the morning of the third day, Qiao Xi said she didn't want to touch the cake anymore, so she washed up and went out.

She first went to Anyuan Pharmacy to see how effective the new trial medicine was, and also helped Anyuan Pharmacy replenish its stock of medicinal materials.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, he found a restaurant with good reviews to satisfy his constantly complaining stomach.

After eating and drinking, Qiao Xi naturally wanted to go home.

However, she had not walked far when, relying on her innate sixth sense, she felt a little uncomfortable.

It felt like there was a pair of eyes staring at her.

Qiao Xi walked towards home, observing her surroundings carefully.

But she never saw a figure similar to Wang Yang.

Was her feeling wrong?

She didn't find anything until she got home.

Qiao Xi pushed the door open and entered the hospital. She took just two steps before stopping.

Is someone coming home?

She clearly remembered that the broom was placed behind the door when she left, so why was it lying in the yard now?

Xu Yi is taking an exam, it can't be him.

Although the villagers of Xuliu Village knew that she and Xu Yi lived in Lingxiao City, no one knew where they lived.

After much thought, it is more likely that someone from the Han family came.

But the courtyard gate was locked, and there was no way the Han family could climb over the wall to find her.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath, took out two or three small porcelain bottles from her bosom with her left hand, pulled out the corks and held them in her hand, then she slowed down her pace and continued walking into the yard.

She gently pushed the door open a little bit and looked inside through the gap.

I just looked for a while and didn't see anything suspicious. The key point was that there seemed to be no human presence in the house.

And the things are not arranged in a mess.

Could it be that the intruder didn’t enter the house?

With this thought in mind, Qiao Xi couldn't help but become bolder. She exerted force with her hands and opened the door wide.

She put away the medicine bottle in her hand and thought to herself: She overreacted.

Maybe a stray cat came in and knocked over the broom.

Josie shook her head, lamenting her own overcautiousness, and strode into the room.

Xu Yi's second exam should be over this afternoon, so she has to pack up and prepare to pick him up.

In the afternoon, calculating the time, Qiao Xi waited at the exit of the examination room.

Soon, Meng Xiaqing and Han Qichen also arrived.

Meng Xiaqing saw Qiao Xi, walked quickly to her and asked if anything had happened in the past two days.

Josie shook her head at her.

Before either of them could say anything more, the person they were waiting for came out.

So everyone went back to his home.

"Have you discovered anything in the past few days?"

"No."

"That's good!"

The two chatted all the way home.

……

into the night.

Seeing that the candle in Xu Yi's room had gone out, Qiao Xi also extinguished the candle in her own room and went to bed.

In the shadows of the alley outside Xu's house:

"Brother, the Xu family's man is back today. Shouldn't we be as nervous as we were the past two days?"

"It's hard to say. To be on the safe side, let the brothers continue patrolling as usual."

"Okay, I'll give the order right away."

The people who spoke were none other than the guards that Han Yun'an had arranged before.

They have been guarding the Xu family and Qiao Xi obediently without letting Qiao Xi find out.

"By the way, did you catch up with that suspicious person that day?"

The head of the security guards suddenly stopped one of the brothers and asked in a low voice.

The guard who was asked shook his head:

“No, that man was very cunning and a bit smart. When he found out that we noticed him, he left in a hurry.

I chased him for a long distance, until I reached a busy place, but then I lost sight of him."

"Well, looking at that person's back, do you think he looks a bit like the person in the portrait that Master gave us?"

“It seems a bit like that.”

"Well, okay, I understand. You go and guard yours."

After the security chief asked this question, he began to think about whether he should shorten the patrol time tonight.

When I looked up and saw my brothers yawning, I finally gave up the idea.

"Boom boom boom!"

"It's the middle of the night, be careful with candles!"

The night watchman was on patrol as usual.

Suddenly, he stopped, rubbed his eyes, stared at a dark place, and murmured:

"Look how sleepy I am! My eyes are blurry. It's late at night, and apart from a poor fellow like me, there's no one else around."

"Boss, the old man is gone."

In the shadows, a figure whispered in the ear of another figure.

"Well, I'm not blind. Tell the brothers to hold still and wait until the old man is far away before taking any action."

"Yes!"

A figure disappeared, and only one figure remained in the darkness.

Suddenly, an evening breeze blew by, dispersing some dark clouds and revealing specks of moonlight.

The moonlight seemed to be very conscious and actually followed the human figure.

The cold light and shadow were reflected on the man's face.

If anyone saw that man's face at this moment, they would be scared into a nightmare by the hideous look on his face.

He was smiling grimly at the moment, revealing a bloody patch on his face.
