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

"My Lord, I really didn't play any tricks. If you really don't believe me, you can come in and take a look."

The woman's aggrieved voice came from behind the screen.

"Miss, I have already mentioned that I am a married man. Therefore, I know a little bit about women's clothing, and these clothes are the clothes of servants. You are the one that County Magistrate Shi has sent to please me. I don't think County Magistrate Shi is so stupid as to just find a servant to send me off."

The words were so clear that Shen Qingyan's patience was almost exhausted.

“Sasha Sasha——”

Soon, he heard a noise coming from behind the screen, and after a while, the woman on the bed was standing in front of him.

She was dressed neatly, with her long black hair hanging down behind her. She bent her knees slightly and bowed to Shen Qingyan.

In order to save face for the woman in front of him and to avoid suspicion, Shen Qingyan only stared at the teacup in his hand and did not look at the woman in front of him.

"Your Excellency is truly clever. I like clever people."

The woman's sweet laughter reached Shen Qingyan's ears. "But why does my lord keep his head down and doesn't even look at me? Are you afraid of being moved by me?"

The woman walked slowly, intentionally closing the distance between herself and Shen Qingyan.

Hearing her footsteps, Shen Qingyan's eyes darkened, his brows furrowed slightly, and his tone was a little colder than before: "Miss, Shen is not looking at you. I am giving you face, not because I am afraid of you. Shen advises you not to come any closer, otherwise I will not be polite."

"How can you be so rude, sir? I'd really like to see it."

Obviously, the woman in front of him was not an obedient person.

She didn't care about Shen Qingyan's rejection. There were many people like him in the past who refused at first.

But later on, it wasn't like that. Men really like to say one thing and mean another.

Listening to the approaching footsteps, Shen Qingyan sighed, put down the teacup in his hand with a "bang", and spat out the word "do it" into the void.

The sudden noise startled the young woman, but before she could react, her vision went dark and her body collapsed to the ground.

"master!"

A man in black clothes knelt in front of Shen Qingyan.

"Well, send her out and don't let anyone find her."

"Yes!"

The man in black took the order and easily lifted the woman on the ground with just one hand, but he walked towards the window and disappeared into the room with a jump.

Now that no one was disturbing him, Shen Qingyan stood up and stretched his body.

After days of traveling and not getting enough rest at the post station, he was really tired.

It would probably take a while for Kuzhu to come back, so it would be nice for him to have some rest.

……

"Uncle, what's going on in there now?"

For such a long time, people came in and out from time to time, and Qiao Xi was a little confused.

The key point is that the backpacks she hid were also sent in. Aren’t those things enough to punish the Nie family?

Compared to her confusion, Xu Yi seemed too calm.

He put one hand behind his back, held his head high and chest out, with an indifferent expression, as if everything that happened inside had nothing to do with him.

His tone remained unchanged: "Don't worry, sister-in-law. I think the trial is not as simple as we thought. We just need to wait quietly."

Qiao Xi's anxiety was slowly soothed by his calmness, but she was still a little worried.

If the Nie family couldn't be wiped out this time, then she and Xu Yi would be the first to suffer. Qi Chunjiang saw her, and although she had her face covered, she didn't dare and couldn't take the risk.

After spending the past few days together, Xu Yi thought she would ask something else, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no sound from behind him, so he couldn't help but turn around to look.

Unexpectedly, he noticed Qiao Xi's worry.

Is she worried about him?

Xu Yi's heart trembled slightly, and his eyelashes trembled as well. The hand hidden in his sleeve loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, and his fingertips kept stroking her. He wanted to comfort her with a few words, but thinking that the matter had not been concluded yet, he had to give up, turned around and pretended not to see it.

But thinking that she would always be so worried, Xu Yi finally couldn't bear it and said lightly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry. No matter what the result is, it is fate. Besides, we must trust the adults."

After hearing his words, Qiao Xi's wandering mind seemed to be pulled together and settled.

Staring at Xu Yi's slightly thin back, Qiao Xi took a deep breath and slowly calmed down.

"Oh, the sun is setting so fast. It's time for lunch now. I don't think it will be over soon. I'd better go home and eat first."

"Now that you mention it, I'm feeling hungry too. Let's go together."

……

With the first and second ones taking action, others also started to move. After all, no one is made of iron, and besides, people always take care of themselves first.

Soon, most of the people gathered outside the yamen had left.

Seeing that Xu Yi hadn't moved at all, Qiao Qian wanted to accompany him, but...

"Cuckoo!"

She quickly covered her stomach with her hands, as if this could stop her stomach from protesting, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"If you're hungry, go eat something first. Yan Zheng will watch here and tell you when you come back."

Qiao Xi subconsciously opened her mouth to refuse, but she swallowed the words back as soon as they reached her lips.

It wasn't that she couldn't bear the hunger, but she thought that Xu Yi hadn't eaten anything like her, and she didn't know how serious his injuries were now.

Although he drank the space water, to what extent did it work?

She didn't dare to ask, fearing that Xu Yi would become suspicious. She frowned and said softly, "Brother-in-law, you must be hungry too. I'll go buy some buns and pastries and be back soon."

After saying that, she turned and left without waiting for Xu Yi to answer her.

Xu Yi looked at her hurried back, pursed his lips, and did not call her.

Until he could no longer see her figure and was about to look away, he saw a familiar figure.

The man was hiding in an inconspicuous corner and looked towards him.

Seeing that he was about to come over here, Xu Yi hurriedly shook his head.

As if seeing his response, the man's figure quickly disappeared.

In just the time it took to stick up an incense stick, Qiao Xi hurried towards the yamen, unlike when she left with nothing in her hands.

The cakes and buns in her arms gave off an enticing aroma. Qiao Xi quickened her pace while swallowing her saliva.

"Brother-in-law, come and eat something."

Just when Xu Yi was distracted, he suddenly heard her voice coming from behind him.

I was a little surprised. He finished eating and came back so quickly?

When he turned around, he saw Qiao Xi holding the food in front of him like she was presenting a treasure.

"I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought some of each snack. The buns are still hot, so eat them while they're hot."

As Qiao Xi spoke, she opened the lotus leaf package containing the food and happily handed it to Xu Yi.

Unfortunately, Xu Yi was reaching out to take it when his hand accidentally touched hers.

Qiao Xi suddenly felt an electric shock on her hand, which made her hand tremble and she almost threw away the food she had just bought.

Fortunately, Xu Yi reacted quickly and caught the food.

Qiao Xi then realized that her reaction was a little too obvious. This was a feeling she had never experienced before. It was a bit novel, but also a bit embarrassing.
