Zhou Xu's laughter became more obvious, and the sweet fragrance lingered in the entire bed. He kissed Mrs. Xiao with great joy, and asked in a hoarse voice: "If you are not lonely, why is Madam so emotional?"
Zhou Xu kissed Mrs. Xiao again and relieved the pain of lovesickness.
Chapter 52
Zhou Xu was not enough to kiss Mrs. Xiao. He still felt unsatisfied even though he had already made a fuss.
Xiao Luolan got up and hung the curtains on the bed on the golden hooks. She felt that Clan Master Zhou was clinging to her. It was hot in the summer and she was covered in sweat even after moving. The ivory mat on the bed could not withstand Clan Master Zhou's heat.
"Stop kissing." Xiao Luolan couldn't help but complain softly.
Zhou Xu disapprovingly kissed her again, leaving traces on Mrs. Xiao's jade shoulders.
Xiao Luolan trembled slightly and turned to look at Sect Leader Zhou.
Zhou Xu's throat moved and he couldn't move his eyes away at all.
Xiao Luolan's face grew hot when he saw him.
Zhou Xu directly pressed Mrs. Xiao's hands on the bed to prevent her from moving, and looked at her obsessively. He looked at the beauty under the lamp, and the more he looked at it, the more amazing it became. But now this beauty belongs to him, and only he can look at her.
Xiao Luolan blushed and finally said what she wanted to say: "Isn't it good for me to live here?"
Zhou Xu only saw Mrs. Xiao's cloud-like hair spread over her plump body like snow jade, her lips were full and bright red, her eyebrows were charming, but her personality was extremely shy and gentle. When he heard Mrs. Xiao's words, he asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Luolan didn't want to irritate Sect Leader Zhou, so she could only say cautiously: "After all, we are not married yet."
If Clan Leader Zhou really wanted to be with her, he would check their backgrounds. Then Clan Master Zhou would find out that her forged identity was false. How would she explain to Clan Master Zhou then.
When Xiao Luolan thought of this, he became confused.
Personally speaking, she actually still wants to live with her daughter and buy a house that is not too big or too small. After so many days of close contact, Zongzhu Zhou does not seem to be a heartless person. He only needs to take care of their mother and daughter a little. Second, they can survive in Langge.
But why does Sect Leader Zhou take care of them? Xiao Luolan looked at the ambiguous marks on her arm and always felt in a dilemma.
"Madam, don't worry, we will get married soon." Zhou Xu said slowly, stroking Madam Xiao's long hair, like clouds of hair flowing like water between his fingers.
"Three to five days at most."
Xiao Luolan was shocked by the news and her mind went blank.
"Aren't you happy, Madam?" Zhou Xu kissed Madam Xiao's fingertips and asked with a smile. His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, like a dangerous beast, and Xiao Luolan shuddered.
"No." There were beads of sweat on the tip of Xiao Luolan's nose: "I just feel like it's a bit fast."
"The time is just right." Zhou Xu smiled and said, "We will hold a family banquet tomorrow and tell the people in the clan. We will send invitations in the next two days and buy a new house. We will get married on the fifth day."
"Besides, Madam's grandfather is also in Zhou's residence, so it is only appropriate for him to preside over the evening ceremony."
Xiao Luolan suspected that she heard wrongly. She looked at the man and felt inexplicable fear: "What grandfather?"
"Madam, your memory is really bad." Zhou Xu held Madam Xiao's trembling hand and said warmly: "The Xiao Jingshu of the Xiao family in Qinghe, Mr. Xiao, is your grandfather."
"Mr. Xiao only has one son and one daughter. His beloved daughter is married to the layman Wushang. The couple has a deep love for each other. As their daughter, you have been favored since childhood."
"After Madam's parents died of illness, Mr. Xiao loved you like a treasure and promised you to the youngest son of the Chen family."
When Zhou Xu said this, he smiled slightly: "Not long after your marriage, madam, your relationship with your husband failed. You reconciled with her and took your daughter back to the Xiao family. From then on, you returned to your original family name, practiced in a mountain temple, and did not care about the world. .”
Xiao Luolan looked at Sect Leader Zhou with a pale face. Did he already know that their identities were fake? He also made up an identity out of thin air and actually arranged everything...
This seemed to be a good thing, but Xiao Luolan was uncontrollably afraid.
"One time when I went out to relax, my wife and my daughter met me." Zhou Xu smiled slightly and said, "I also fell in love with my wife at first sight."
Zhou Xu kissed Madam Xiao's ear: "Later, Madam and I got married."
Xiao Luolan opened her mouth and wanted to ask Sect Master Zhou when he did these things, but found that he was speechless.
Zhou Xu put his robe on Mrs. Xiao, then held her in his arms, using his big hands to comfort the frightened Mrs. Xiao through the robe.
It took a long time for Xiao Luolan to find her voice, the tail end of which was trembling.
"Won't the youngest son of the Chen family find out?"
Zhou Xu kissed Mrs. Xiao on the lips: "Their family has all died long ago."
Xiao Luolan was limp in the arms of Sect Master Zhou, breathing unsteadily and with cold sweat on her forehead.
"Madam, are you going to see your grandfather tomorrow?" Zhou Xu straightened Madam Xiao's hair: "He misses you very much."
Xiao Luolan's thoughts were in a mess and he couldn't figure anything out, so he shook his head vigorously.
Seeing her shaking her head, Zhou Xu didn't force it: "If you don't want to see her, then you can see her."
The night was already dark, Xiao Luolan huddled in Zongzhu Zhou's arms, as if she had slept but not yet. She only felt dizzy, her body was hot, and Zongzhu Zhou's voice could not be heard clearly. There was also a strong smell of medicine and many other things. The sound of people moving around.
She struggled to open her eyes and found Master Zhou sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her.
Zhou Xu's thick eyebrows were furrowed and the corners of his lips turned downward. Xiao Luolan looked at him confusedly, thinking that he looked a bit like the rest of the Zhou family. He looked stern and cold, and was frightening.
Zhou Xu took off the hot handkerchief from Mrs. Xiao's forehead and put it in the basin to twist it. Then he put the handkerchief on Mrs. Xiao's forehead. Seeing that she was awake, he touched her face, which was still flushed and hot. , even his lips were dry, and his brows furrowed even more tightly.
He placed the soft cushion at the head of the bed and let Mrs. Xiao lean on it.
Then he picked up the medicine bowl, took a spoonful of it, blew on it a few times, and waited until the temperature was almost the same before passing it to Mrs. Xiao's lips.
"You suddenly had a fever that didn't go away at night. I asked the doctor in the mansion to come over and take a look and give you some medicine."
Mrs. Xiao felt that she must have a fever, her throat was a little sore, and she was weak, so she drank the medicine from Sect Leader Zhou's hand.
Zhou Xu saw Mrs. Xiao frowning slightly as she was suffering from the medicine, and handed a candied fruit to her mouth: "After you finish drinking the medicine, you can sleep for a while."
Xiao Luolan looked towards the window. It was pitch dark outside, it should still be late at night.
After giving the medicine, Zhou Xu gave Mrs. Xiao some honey water.
Xiao Luolan was sleeping in a brocade quilt. After drinking the medicine, her whole body was still hot and she became more and more drowsy and weak: "Thank you."
Zhou Xu heard the thank you and held Mrs. Xiao's hot hand in his: "If you think it's too urgent." He paused and then said, "How about we get married in ten days?"
Xiao Luolan looked at the man and nodded after a while. She felt the big hand holding her hand tighten, and then Sect Leader Zhou approached her.
"I don't care where you come from."
Xiao Luolan opened her eyes slightly, her face turned red due to fever, and her breath was filled with warmth.
Zhou Xu kissed Madam Xiao: "I can give you whatever Madam wants."
Xiao Luolan inexplicably felt that this sentence sounded familiar. When she gave her sour plum soup in Taiyang County, Sect Master Zhou also said similar words to her. In other words, Sect Master Zhou knew it at that time? So early? Xiao Luolan was a little distracted.
"As long as Madam is my wife." Zhou Xu only had this request. He stared at Madam Xiao. Whether Madam Xiao was willing or not, they must get married anyway.
The doctor in the mansion came to see me just now and said that it was a febrile disease caused by fatigue from the journey and excessive anxiety.
After Zhou Xu observed for a while and drank the medicine, the temperature finally dropped, and then he went to bed and held Mrs. Xiao in his arms.
Xiao Luolan's words were a little confused and her voice was very soft: "I'm sorry, Qingxue and I didn't lie to you on purpose."
Zhou Xu was stunned for a moment, then looked down at Mrs. Xiao who had her eyes closed tightly in her arms, her eyelashes moist, and laughed softly: "It doesn't matter." He was willing to be deceived.
Zhou Xu kissed Mrs. Xiao's tears away and coaxed her in a low voice. It wasn't until Mrs. Xiao's mood calmed down that he kissed her again.
After Xiao Luolan vented his anger, he felt a little embarrassed to face Sect Leader Zhou.
Zhou Xu smiled and turned to his side.
"Go to sleep." Zhou Xu patted Mrs. Xiao's back.
The next day it was bright and clear.
"Auntie, I heard that you are sick?" Xiao Qingxue trotted into the room, looked at her mother anxiously, and touched her forehead with her head: "Let me see, my head is a little hot."
"I've already taken medicine in the morning, don't worry." Xiao Luolan asked her to sit on the embroidery stool: "Stay away from me, so as not to infect you too."
Xiao Qingxue sat next to her mother and looked at her worriedly: "What did the doctor say?"
"It's just caused by the tiredness of the journey. Just rest for a few days and it will be fine." Xiao Luolan saw that her daughter was wearing a bright and goose-yellow skirt today. She smiled and nodded: "You still look good in a skirt."
"Did you come here so early to eat?" Xiao Luolan asked.
"No, I came here when I heard you were sick. Sect Leader Zhou's home is really big." Xiao Qingxue said.
"Then let's eat here." Xiao Luolan touched her daughter's hair.
"Okay." Xiao Qingxue agreed.
After finishing the meal, Granny Cui brought her two maids, Chun Hua and Xia He, over to salute. They both held several brocade boxes in their hands.
"Madam, the young master and Mr. Tuoba heard that you were sick, so they sent servants to bring some medicinal materials." Granny Cui said, "I will have someone send them to the library first."
After the two maids Chunhua and Xia He left.
Xiao Luolan looked at Granny Cui: "Grandma Cui, do I want to return the gift?"
Granny Cui smiled and said: "My lady, this is not necessary. You are the elder now." She glanced at Madam Xiao and said: "In the future, you will be their nominal mother and the mistress of Youzhou. They We all respect you and honor you."
Xiao Qingxue felt a little awkward when she heard this.
After Granny Cui finished speaking, she went to Lanyuan's warehouse to record the things.
Xiao Luolan took her daughter's hand and touched her face: "Are you unhappy?"
Xiao Qingxue didn't have much grievances at first, but when she heard her mother ask her softly, her grievances came to her heart, sour. She hugged her mother, smelled her good smell, and her nasal voice was a bit thick: "Mom .”
"Mom is here." Xiao Luolan responded, and then smiled: "Don't worry, mom's favorite person will always be you."
Xiao Qingxue heard her mother's assurance, blinked her eyes, there were tears on her eyelashes, and laughed again.
Xiao Luolan thought for a while and wanted to tell her daughter that Clan Leader Zhou found out that they had forged another identity. She spoke very slowly, trying to let her daughter know their current identities.
After hearing this, Xiao Qingxue was shocked: "Sect Leader Zhou fabricated an identity for us out of nothing?" There were many doubts.
"How did he convince that Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Luolan didn't understand either. She was in low spirits. After her daughter left, she wanted to take a rest. Granny Cui brought her maid over and bowed again. She said with a smile: "Madam, Mr. Xiao heard that you were sick, so he also sent some Bring the medicinal materials.”
Xiao Luolan was startled after hearing this. She sat up. Thinking of her and her daughter's identities, she hesitated for a while and then said.
"Grandpa." Xiao Luolan shouted out those two words with difficulty: "Grandpa, is he outside?"
"Mr. Xiao is sitting in the outer hall."
