The eighth aunt is missing.
Some people say that the last time they saw Ba Yiniang, she was all dressed up and carrying something in her hand.
When the other aunts heard this, they all thought that the eighth aunt must have run away with the wild man outside.
Although Huo Qi didn't care about the eighth aunt, being cuckolded was something that no man could bear, and he immediately lost his temper.
For a while, everyone in the house used this eighth aunt as a source of gossip.
The only one who is not affected is Shen Jiao. She has been very irritable recently and has no time to think about Eighth Yiniang.
Huo Changze kept saying that he wanted to marry her, but she didn't believe it.
She felt that Huo Changze was just deceiving her. After all, how could his marriage to Jiang Qingyun be canceled so easily?
Taking another ten thousand steps back, even if he didn't marry Jiang Qingyun, how could he marry his father's woman regardless of worldly standards? Still as the head wife.
Shen Jiao didn't believe him.
And this jade pendant...
Shen Jiao took out a piece of Yuanyang Tongxin Ruyi from her sleeve and wore it. Huo Changze had personally handed it to her before she left that day, telling her to keep it well.
In order to prevent her from turning around and throwing it away, Huo Changze also told her that this was his mother's dowry back then and it was very expensive.
Should he say it or not, Huo Changze immediately grasped Shen Jiao's little thoughts.
You know, Huo Changze's mother is the daughter of the richest man. A large part of the reason why the General's Mansion is so wealthy now is because Huo Changze's mother married here with a generous dowry.
It must be even more extraordinary to be handed over to her by Huo Changze with such solemnity.
So Shen Jiao wasn't going to throw it away, so she found a small box to put it in and put it into her own treasury.
From now on, this will be her asset when she goes out to work hard.
"Sister Shen..."
Shen Jiao turned around, "Qi Yu? What's wrong?"
Qi Yu has changed a lot recently. Since arriving at Shen Jiao's place, Shen Jiao has never been inferior to him in eating.
As a result, Qi Yu's hair grew longer and longer, like bamboo, every day. It's almost catching up with her now.
Qi Yu showed her the book in his hand: "I have finished reading this book."
Shen Jiao did not treat Qi Yu as a human being, but treated him as her younger brother. In his spare time, he will also be taught to read some words.
"So fast!" Although Shen Jiao brought him a children's reading book, Qi Yu had just started to read and read it in less than a day.
"Our Ayu is awesome!" Shen Jiao did not hesitate to praise her children.
Qi Yu blushed and said humbly: "My sister taught me well."
Seeing that Qi Yu was so good at talking, Shen Jiao was so happy that she was a little carried away.
It seems that she still has the talent to be a teacher...
"But there are still some things I don't understand."
"What? Let me help you see." Shen Jiao was very confident.
Qi Yu opened the book, pointed to a passage of text and said, "This."
Then Shen Jiao looked over confidently.
I saw it written on the book: "Lao Qiu Leopard went away, living alone. Is there no one else? It's because of Wei Zi."
……What's this?
What's a woolen coat, what's a leopard, what's a self-inhabited thing?
Why is there such content in children’s books! Shen Jiao was furious.
But seeing Qi Yu's admiring eyes, Shen Jiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and explain:
"This is not what you should learn at this time. Of course, I know what it means, but, um... you don't understand it even if I explain it to you. There is no need to understand it. You will learn this later."
Qi Yu wanted to laugh a little, but when he saw Shen Jiao explaining to her seriously, he held it back, nodded obediently, and said, "I understand."
Seeing that Qi Yu stopped asking, Shen Jiao breathed a sigh of relief.
She secretly decided to show Qi Yu three hundred Tang poems next time, as she was the best at it.
…
"General, please come this way."
After going to court, Huo Changze was taken to a remote and elegant courtyard. As soon as he stepped in, the person behind him immediately closed the door and left.
There was a person sitting in the courtyard. Even though he was wearing ordinary dark robes, his noble aura could not be concealed.
"Fourth Prince."
When the fourth prince saw Huo Changze, he raised his eyes lightly, poured tea in his hand, and said hello: "You are here, sit down."
Huo Changze was not restrained, lifted his robe and sat opposite the fourth prince.
The fourth prince pushed a wine glass in front of Huo Changze, "You heard clearly what His Majesty said in the court today. What do you think?"
Huo Changze said: "Today, Your Majesty deposed the crown prince and you are extremely disappointed with him. Now the prince's followers in the court will have to choose Mingjun again."
"Now, only the Fourth Prince and the Second Prince are qualified to sit in this position."
The fourth prince chuckled, but his voice became colder, "My second brother is the most tolerant. He works in secret, so it's hard to catch him."
"As soon as the prince is deposed, he will definitely take action. As you are on my side, and you are in the limelight recently, I am afraid he will find an opportunity to deal with you."
Huo Changze disagreed: "Okay, I want to see how he deals with me."
The fourth prince glanced at him and said, "You're not afraid."
"Afraid?" Huo Changze sneered, "When have I ever been afraid?"
He was a man who had crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He was not even afraid of death, so how could he be afraid of the open and secret arrows in the court.
The fourth prince said without comment, "It's better to be careful."
The fourth prince put down his teacup and said, "By the way, I have one more thing I need you to help me with."
Huo Changze was just about to stand up and leave when he heard this and sat down again, "What?"
Huo Changze thought to himself, now it's better, he can't rush back to coax his Jiaojiao today.
He was still angry when he sent her back yesterday, and he didn't know if his anger had subsided a little now.
The fourth prince paused and looked at him with a strange expression, "What's wrong? I've never seen you look like this before."
Huo Changze smiled and said, "There is something going on at home."
The fourth prince teased him, "I heard that you haven't married yet... What? You have a sweetheart?"
Huo Changze didn't want to mention Shen Jiao's matter in front of him, so he said, "Let's get down to business. What do you want me to do?"
Huo Changze has known the Fourth Prince since he was a child. Although their identities are different, the two have a close friendship and don't have so many scruples when talking.
The Fourth Prince also became serious and said, "I need the transfer list of personnel in your military camp."
Huo Changze said: "Isn't this simple? I'll ask He Qing to send it to you in a few days."
"No, I want you to deliver it in person. I don't worry about the others."
Seeing the serious expression on the fourth prince's face, Huo Changze also realized the seriousness of the matter, "But what did you find?"
The fourth prince shook his head, "I'm not sure yet. I need to read the list before making a decision."
Huo Changze thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll get it for you."
…
After Huo Changze made a special trip to deliver the list to the fourth prince, it was already late at night a few days later when he came back.
Originally, he didn't have to rush back all night in such a hurry, but he really missed Shen Jiao so much that the first thing he did after returning home was to go to Shen Jiao's yard.
Shen Jiao has already fallen asleep.
She curled up in the bed, covered with a thin quilt. Her long black hair spread out between the pillows, half covering her cheeks, and her snow-white skin showed through the gaps in her hair.
The window was wide open, and Huo Changze had just come in from there.
The silvery white moonlight dimly shrouded her body, so cold and dusty that she seemed to be about to transform into a fairy and leave in the next second.
Leave? Huo Changze sneered in his heart, it was just wishful thinking. Even if she is really the Xuannv above the nine heavens, she still has to stay by his side.
Huo Changze sat by the bed and looked at her quietly for a while. After confirming that she would not leave, his heart moved slightly. He couldn't help but leaned down and took her pink lips in his mouth, grinding them carefully between his teeth.
The moonlight is quiet, and a faint fragrance floats in the air. The wind picked up outside the window, and the curtain made of pearls swayed, making a faint sound.
When Shen Jiao fell asleep, she felt that her chest was tight and she was completely out of breath. She struggled to move, but couldn't.
Shen Jiao was horrified. Could it be that she was lying on the bed?
For a moment, cold sweat broke out on Shen Jiao's head, and she didn't dare to open her eyes for fear that the ghost would eat her.
Huo Changze noticed her movements and knew that she had woken up, so he moved more and more boldly and raised her chin, "You miss me so much, be good, let me kiss you properly."
Hearing this familiar voice, Shen Jiao opened her eyes suddenly, looked at the enlarged handsome face in front of her, and then realized that it was Huo Changze.
It turns out that what is pressing down on people in the middle of the night is not necessarily a ghost, but Huo Changze who appears out of nowhere!
