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

Qiao Xi and Xu Yi walked to an alley and saw other people in the alley, so Qiao Xi smiled faintly and started chatting with them about family matters.

Qiao Xi said softly, "Sister-in-law, who are you looking for so late at night? It looks like you're making quite a commotion."

"You don't know yet?" The woman was surprised at first. She opened her mouth but didn't say anything. Instead, she looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, she leaned closer to Qiao Xi and said in a low voice, "I heard that someone broke into the prison and rescued the Nie family father and son. I don't know if it's true or not."

The woman paused, looked at Qiao Xi and then at Xu Yi, and continued, "Miss, you don't live in Lingxiao City, do you?"

Qiao Xi nodded. "Yes, I went into town to do some business and was just about to go back."

The woman sighed and said kindly, "If the Nie family father and son are really rescued, there will be no peace in the city. You should hurry back home."

"Really?" Qiao Xi looked at the woman in surprise.

The woman nodded, a look of worry on her face. "Alas, if the Nie family father and son are never caught, those of us living in the city will have to live in fear. I have to hurry home to see how long the rice and other things will last. I'll try not to go out for the next few days. Who knows if this man from Baidi City will fight with the Nie family."

The woman looked at Qiao Xi and tried to comfort her again, "Girls, you'd better leave quickly. If it's any later, the city gate will be closed and you won't be able to get out."

After saying that, he turned around and went into his house without waiting for Qiao Xi to answer.

Qiao Xi put away the smile on her face, walked over to Xu Yi, and looked around and said, "Did you hear everything just now?"

"Hmm!" Xu Yi frowned and looked around.

From time to time, groups of people ran past on the street outside the alley.

"Then we-"

Qiao Xi wanted to ask them whether they should leave or stay?

But before she could finish her words, Xu Yi interrupted her and said firmly: "Let's get out of the city as soon as possible!"

Qiao Xi looked up and saw him looking out the alley with a mysterious look in his eyes.

She nodded: "Okay, then let's leave quickly, otherwise it will be troublesome if the city gate is closed as that sister-in-law said."

"go!"

After Xu Yi finished speaking, he walked ahead.

Josie hurried to catch up.

The two walked quickly, and when they reached the city gate, they just caught the last carriage.

Qiao Xi got on the carriage first, and Xu Yi was the last one.

Coincidentally, as soon as the carriage left the city gate, it heard the city guards shouting to close the city gate.

By the time the two of them returned to Xuxuliu Village, it had already darkened.

Qiao Xi placed the incense in her hand into the incense burner and knelt down again. She glanced at Xu Yi who was kneeling beside her and said slowly, "Are you going to kneel for three hours today like usual?"

I don’t know if it’s because she’s been kneeling too frequently recently, but her knees haven’t hurt as much since she came back and started kneeling.

You know what, I feel like the skin on my knees has become a lot thicker these past two days.

"Need not!"

As he spoke, Xu Yi stood up, looked at Qiao Xi who had not yet reacted, and stretched out his hand.

Qiao Xi stared at his hands blankly, somewhat confused.

When he withdrew his hand, she realized that Xu Yi wanted to pull her up, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Fearing that Xu Yi would be embarrassed by this, she quickly changed the subject: "Why don't you kneel today?"

Xu Yi lowered his eyes to look at her, then turned and walked out of the mourning hall, saying as he walked, "Just as Han Yun'an said today, my mother's spirit in heaven knows that we didn't mean it, and she will definitely not blame us."

When he arrived in the yard, Xu Yi stopped and looked up at the half moon in the sky that appeared and disappeared from time to time.

Qiao Xi stood beside him and looked up at the sky with confusion in her eyes.

I wondered what there was to see today?

"It's going to rain!"

Suddenly Xu Yi said this.

"Ah? Really? But isn't the moon still in the sky?"

Qiao Xi thought about the knowledge she had and subconsciously questioned it.

Then she thought, what does it have to do with them if it doesn’t rain now?

Without waiting for Qiao Xi to figure it out, Xu Yi continued without even turning his head, "When it rains, many footprints will be washed away, making it even more difficult to find the Nie family father and son."

Hearing this, Qiao Xi suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he paid attention to the weather.

Xu Yi slowly lowered his head: "Sister-in-law, where do you think the Nie family is hiding?"

Hearing his question, Qiao Xi looked up and met his deep eyes. She was stunned for a moment and quickly looked away: "I don't know much about the Nie family. However, I think that the Nie father and son were rescued with great difficulty, so they shouldn't hide where they can be easily found. Maybe someone is deliberately protecting them."

After all, with the foundation that the Nie family has laid in Lingxiao City, there are still many people who hope that they will not be caught.

Thinking about the current situation of the Nie family, it was mostly due to Xu Yi's planning. If the father and son of the Nie family had not been caught, would they discover this in the future and deal with Xu Yi?

No, she couldn't let the Nie family escape like this.

Qiao Xi looked at the sky, then looked at Xu Yi who was lost in thought, and pretended to stretch: "You must be tired too. By the way, how are your injuries?"

Her mind was on the Nie family all day today, and she even forgot to ask about his injury. Now that she remembered it, Qiao Xi felt a little guilty.

Xu Yi met her gaze and was stunned for a moment. Something in the depths of his eyes was faintly emotional. "I think the medicine Sister Liu Lan gave me is very good. Since I got off Chunshan this morning, the pain in my back has been much better. If Sister Liu Lan hadn't asked me just now, Yan Zheng would have forgotten that I had a back injury."

He suddenly remembered something and asked with concern, "How's sister-in-law's injury? Is it still painful? Should we ask sister-in-law Liu Lan to help apply the medicine again?"

He is a man, so a little pain is no big deal, and even a scar on his back won't have any impact.

But most women care about these.

Just kidding, the minor injuries on her body have already healed. If Sister Liu Lan applied medicine and saw that she recovered so quickly, she would definitely become suspicious.

So Qiao Xi waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, I only have those two whips on me, I'm much better now. Besides, it's already this late, so don't bother Sister Liu Lan."

"By the way, there's some medicine in the kitchen. I'll make it for you so your injuries can heal faster."

After saying that, Qiao Xi didn't give him a chance to speak again and hurried into the kitchen.

Seeing that she refused, Xu Yi didn't insist anymore.

His eyes followed Qiao Xi to the kitchen, and as he watched her busying around in the kitchen, he fell into his own thoughts again.

Given Nie Guizhou's personality, he definitely doesn't want to suffer, so if he were to choose, he would continue to stay in Lingxiao City.

But his father Nie Shufeng is not a fool.

Lingxiao City is so big. If we close it for a few days and search door to door for them, we will eventually find them.

But if he hides outside the city, it will be difficult to find him.

Although it will be painful, it is better than losing your life.

As the saying goes, as long as the mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

This lord from Baidi City couldn't stay here forever. Once he left, the Nie family would rise again.

Qiao Xi was boiling the medicine while observing Xu Yi.

Seeing that he seemed to be in a daze, he squatted down and quietly turned on the system navigation in a place where Xu Yi could not see.

"System, start navigation!"

[Navigation is turned on. What do you want to locate? ]

"Locate Nie Shufeng and Nie Guizhou in Lingxiao City!"
