"It's a long way from the capital to the border. If you meet a kidnapper on the way and something happens to Meng Huaiyu, you can't blame him..." Before Xihe could finish his fierce words, Meng Yuchuan pressed him into his arms.
His heart felt hot and he couldn't help but tighten his arms: "I know."
Xihe took a breath, and Meng Yuchuan lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows: "I know, I will definitely come back early so that you won't worry."
Xihe stared at the sincerity in his eyes for a long time, then suddenly threw herself into his arms.
After breakfast, knowing His Majesty's plan, Xihe hurriedly got busy with his maid, preparing things for Meng Yuchuan to leave the capital, including wound medicine, daggers, bows and arrows... Before the things were ready, an urgent message came from the border. When the news reached the capital, Meng Yuchuan was rushed into the palace.
From early morning to early evening, he didn't return home.
Everyone has a feeling that a storm is coming.
Xihe had a cold face and ordered his servants to prepare things in an orderly manner, but he remembered that according to the plot, Beiliao seemed to have gone south at this time... Is this related to the theft of the map?
In other words, does this matter have something to do with Prince Yu's Mansion?
Meng Yuchuan did not come back that night, but the next morning a eunuch was sent from the palace to deliver an edict. One was an imperial edict for Meng Yuchuan to confer the title of Marquis, and the other was to set off for the border immediately after the canonization.
The old lady fainted after hearing this, Mrs. Lu even turned pale, and the servants looked around and started talking.
Xihe asked his servants to help the two old men to rest, and then personally escorted the eunuch out of the mansion: "When will the Marquis leave the capital?"
The eunuch didn't seem to expect her to ask this. He was startled for a moment, and then his eyes wandered. Xihe gave him a piece of gold. The eunuch looked around and whispered: "Tomorrow morning."
Xihe smiled and leaned over: "Thank you, father-in-law."
The eunuch didn't dare to accept it and hurriedly avoided it.
There are almost no secrets in the capital. Not long after the eunuch left, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent someone over.
Xi He was packing his things when he saw that the person coming was Lu Zhu, the maid beside the Prime Minister's wife. His heart moved and he wiped away tears before Lu Zhu could speak.
In short, the idea is that not long after she got married, her husband-in-law went to war. What if something happened? She doesn't even have a child.
The green plant head was as big as a bucket, and they all regretted this trip: "Here, madam, the Marquis is like a god with his troops. Nothing will happen to him, so don't worry."
Xihe wiped his tears: "How can you not worry about this? Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. If one is not careful... Wuwuwu, as expected, I am an adopted one who is just not lovable. The Prime Minister doesn't even give my husband a bodyguard. , not like the prince... Forget it, what am I still doing alive? Anyway, I am destined to be a widow, so I might as well just die."
As she was about to hit the pillar, the maids quickly stopped her, causing the whole room to cry.
Is there anything else you don’t understand about Luzhu? I could only promise repeatedly that I would go back and tell my wife right away, asking her to ask the Prime Minister to help the Marquis send a few people to protect him.
Xihe wiped his tears: "Thank you very much, Sister Luzhu. Luwu, follow your sister and bring the people back."
Green plant: "..."
That night, Lu Wu brought four masters back from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
All of them had bulging temples and walked silently. At first glance, they looked like martial arts masters.
Before Xihe returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he discovered that there were martial arts masters in this world. Although they were not innate, they were still very powerful. I don't know where Prime Minister Jiang found them. Even the prince had thoughtfully arranged for two of them.
She deeply felt that Prime Minister Qiang was partial. They were all sons-in-law, so why not Meng Yuchuan?
So she spoke up and asked for four in one go.
Expecting that Prime Minister Qiang was probably very angry now, Xihe couldn't help but curl his lips. How could this guy be so stingy while counting on Meng Yuchuan to be his ally? There must be blood!
Early the next morning, Xihe took his maid to wait at the city gate.
The morning light was slightly bright, and a group of people rushed from the palace. Then they stopped hurriedly at the door, and a person came down and strode towards her. Xihe's eyes lit up: "Meng Yuchuan!" He was hugged into his arms.
Meng Yuchuan hadn't slept for two days, stubble appeared on his chin, and his clothes were wrinkled, but his eyes were very bright at this time.
Xihe touched his face lovingly, and finally softened his heart: "Fight with peace of mind, leave the family to me."
Meng Yuchuan; "Yeah!"
He hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
The horses over there were restless, and the guards looked at the sky and shouted: "Master!"
Meng Yuchuan lowered his head, ignored the presence of his servants, and kissed her forehead: "Wait for me." He turned around, mounted his horse, and walked away.
Xihe stood at the city gate and watched the man disappear at the end of the official road for a long time.
"Miss, shall we go back?"
Lu Wu held her hand and Xihe nodded.
Back in the mansion, Mrs. Lu hurriedly held the maid's hand and ran over. Seeing that there was no one behind her, she was startled: "Chuan'er is gone?"
Xihe nodded.
Lu's body swayed, and there was a sudden panic at the door of the house.
Xihe didn't have time to lament. He had just completed the harmony of life with his own man and was about to face a long-distance relationship. While letting his servants help his mother-in-law in, he asked the maid to call the doctor.
Lu's health has not been good since the death of Lord Meng, and she has been struggling to take care of the housework these years. This time, Meng Yuchuan was rushed to Beijing by His Majesty. He was so frightened that he could not recover from the illness.
Xihe had no choice but to take over the responsibility and start managing the entire Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Lu woke up occasionally and heard the news, and smiled weakly: "Mr. Qiang has really grown up now."
Xihe said that he didn’t want to grow up. After all, how comfortable would it be to lie down? It's a pity that now that the Hou family is old, young and sick, she can only shoulder the responsibility of being the head of the house. After all, she is used to doing these things in other worlds, and she can get started with a little familiarity.
It's just that she is so ordinary, but she surprised the servants. Who said that the young lady is a noisy idiot?
For a time, everyone clamped their tails and started doing things honestly.
After Xihe finished arranging things in the mansion, he got on the carriage and went to the Prime Minister's mansion.
The Prime Minister's wife was very happy to see her coming, but her face froze when she saw the boy holding her skirt tightly.
Xihe didn't think it was strange and patted the little guy on the head: "Forgot what mother taught you?"
The little doll immediately let go of her skirt and obediently saluted the Prime Minister's wife: "Huaiyu pays homage to grandma, greeting grandma."
The Prime Minister's wife put her hand on her forehead in an instant and almost carried her back. However, looking at the smiling face of her second daughter and the confused eyes of the little boy with his head raised, she could only hold her breath and smile stiffly: "Well, Huaiyu Isn't that right? You're so good, get up quickly. Luzhu, go and bring some cakes to the young master."
Green Plant hurriedly went to bring it, and the little guy was immediately happy.
"Thank you grandma, thank you sister Luzhu."
Then he took one and stuffed it into his mouth, then took another one and ran to Xihe: "Mom, eat."
Xihe glanced at the green-faced Prime Minister's wife, bit into the cake with a smile, and touched the little guy's head: "Huaiyu is so good."
