The next day.
Noon.
Tang Shuwan had been busy all morning and finally finished handling the chores in the house before lunch. She slumped on the back of her chair and closed her eyes to rest.
Suddenly, someone outside the study said: "Mrs. Liu is here."
Tang Shuwan's whole body was filled with excitement, and she hurriedly straightened her sitting posture. She closed her eyes to rest and immediately opened them.
As the light at the door went dark, Liu Huixiang arrived, smiling and saying hello: "Sister, I'm here."
"Sister, come and see..." Tang Shuwan just started to say, then closed the door. From then on, there was no sound in the house.
"..."
not far away.
On the roof of blue bricks and blue tiles.
Su Xian looked at Yang Zhilan beside him: "Can you hear clearly what they are saying in the room?"
Yang Zhilan didn't respond, just shook her head.
"They gathered together in secret. What on earth did they want to see? They even sent Minglan and other maids away. It's strange!" Su Xian was curious.
That's right.
Su Xian is finally back!
A few days ago, they set out from Nanchutan Prefecture and headed north, traveling under starry night. The journey was quite comfortable, and they finally arrived at the Divine Capital an hour ago.
Su Xian didn't alert anyone.
No one was sent to notify the Queen, Princess Lanling, etc.
Zhou Wei was not allowed to return to the "Longwu Army Camp" in Yan Dashan.
He even didn't send anyone back to tell the two ladies that he had returned to the capital of the gods.
The reason why Su Xian arranged this was for one purpose.
That is, while avoiding all uncertain factors, secretly send people to the Su family in the capital city to investigate the old servant named "Luo An".
Even the people sent to investigate the Su family were members of the inner guard brought back from Nanchu.
It can be said to be very cautious.
During this trip to Nanchu, Su Xian had two purposes. One was to help Chen Keyan solve a big problem, and the other was to secretly investigate the whereabouts of the former prince.
Chen Keyan's trouble has been solved.
But there was little progress in the matter of the previous prince. The only clues we got were the previous head of the Su family and the old servant named "Luo An"!
At that time, the capital of Daqian was in chaos, and a palace maid secretly smuggled the former prince out of the palace at great risk and personal risk.
The people who took over the former crown prince were the previous head of the Su family and Luo An.
The previous head of the Su family had already passed away, so Luo An was an important clue...
After arranging these things, Su Xian was idle outside the city, but he gradually became unable to stay any longer, so with the help of Yang Zhilan, he sneaked into the city secretly, then secretly returned to the Hou Mansion and went to the backyard.
The entire infiltration process went smoothly without any obstacles.
Neither of them was noticed by anyone.
Su Xian expressed his affirmation of Yang Zhilan's ability, but also frowned and said:
"The defense of the Hou Mansion is actually very good under the leadership of Guan Ping, but after all, it cannot prevent a super master like you, Zhi Lan."
"There are not many people like me in the entire Daliang area. Except for me and the prison chief, all the great masters I know are in the palace." Yang Zhilan looked calm.
Su Xian nodded, but still felt it was not safe enough.
This problem was really difficult to solve and it was useless to think about it, so he didn't think about it any more.
Just at this time, Liu Huixiang came to see Tang Shuwan. The two women even sent away the maids and had a secret discussion behind closed doors, which aroused Su Xian's strong curiosity.
After making sure that Yang Zhilan couldn't hear what they were saying inside, Su Xian raised his finger and pointed to the side of the study and said, "There is a window there and it is covered by flowers and plants. Let's go over there and eavesdrop."
"good."
Yang Zhilan naturally had no objection, and quickly led Su Xian to the destination and squatted under the window.
Behind them is a flower bed with many flowers and plants, and a few green banana leaves. The banana leaves are so large that they can completely block the figures of Su Xian and Yang Zhilan.
"Sister, look, it's just this package."
Tang Shuwan's voice came from inside the room.
Su Xian squatted outside the window, listening to Tang Shuwan's gentle and indifferent voice, and his mouth suddenly felt dry.
Out of curiosity what is that package? Su Xian slowly raised his head. When his sight was higher than the window sill, he finally saw the two ladies up close.
Tang Shuwan was facing him sideways. She was elegant and pleasant, with a beautiful appearance. Even the hem of the clothes and skirts she wore expressed a kind of gentleness and approachability.
Liu Huixiang was also facing him sideways, her skin was white and tender, her chest was full of fruits, and her green skirt outlined the graceful charm of a mature woman.
Su Xian was stunned for a moment.
It took a long time to get to Nanchu.
He has not known the taste of meat for a long time.
Now he was secretly watching his wife outside the window. The more he looked at her, the more she looked better and better. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. Every cell in his body cheered for joy.
Now, not only was his mouth dry, but he was also drooling.
Because the air seemed to be mixed with the body fragrance of the two women. When he inhaled it into his nostrils, he felt relaxed and happy, and the pores all over his body relaxed...
"Hey, why is this wrapped alone and still so tight?"
Liu Huixiang's voice suddenly sounded.
Bring Su Xian back to reality.
His heart moved, his eyes turned slightly, and fell on Liu Huixiang's hand.
I saw Liu Huixiang holding something in her hand, wrapped in layers of oil paper and densely tied with thin threads. From a distance, it looked like a large rice dumpling.
what is that?
Su Xian was also curious.
"Sister, please don't open it." Tang Shuwan raised her hand to stop Liu Huixiang who wanted to open the "zongzi", and said with a smile: "Whether that thing can be done depends on it, but the taste is a bit weird, sister. It’s better not to take it apart easily.”
Su Xian rolled his eyes and looked sideways at Tang Shuwan.
Tang Shuwan held a large bag of medicinal materials in her hand.
Su Xian suddenly realized that what the two women secretly wanted to see were these medicinal materials. It was expected that the "zongzi" was also a medicine.
"Master sent someone to deliver this package of medicinal materials last night and gave instructions on how to torture it."
Tang Shuwan continued:
"But I was a little busy last night, and I was also busy this morning. I just got free time, so I sent someone to invite my sister to come and take a look."
"Thank you for your hard work, sister."
With a smile on her lips, Liu Huixiang took the entire set of medicine and turned it over to look at it.
There was an expression of expectation, longing, and longing on his face.
Su Xian was a little confused outside the window, so what kind of medicine is this? Is it worth the two ladies being so cautious? Also, Su Xian always felt that their smiles were a little weird.
"I don't know when my husband will come back." Tang Shuwan sighed softly. She was smiling just now, but now she has a sad look on her face.
"My husband has been in Nanchu for so long. I don't know if he ate well, slept well, and dressed well..." Liu Huixiang put the set of medicinal materials on the table with a sad look on her face.
outside the window.
Su Xian originally wanted to hide in the dark and suddenly jump out at an opportunity to scare them.
But now... seeing the two resentful ladies with his own eyes, he couldn't wait any longer, so without thinking much, he stood up directly outside the window and shouted loudly:
"Ladies, your husband is back!"
"Husband...husband?"
Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang looked at the side window following the sound, with expressions of shock and confusion.
Daydreaming?
How do you say that Cao Cao is about to arrive?
There are no such coincidences in the world.
So this must be a dream...
Seeing their shocked and confused faces, Su Xian vaguely guessed what they were thinking. He supported the window sill with one hand and climbed up directly. He held the window frame with his hand, looked at the two women and smiled:
"Madams, why are you in such a daze? My husband is back. Why don't you come over quickly to greet me?"
With that said, Su Xian jumped off the window frame with all his strength, trying to enter the house directly.
However, maybe he was too happy, or maybe... he didn't notice his feet. When he took off, the sole of his foot slipped, his body's center of gravity was unstable, and he fell directly to the ground.
boom!
"Ouch!"
"Husband (young master)!"
Yang Zhilan didn't want to follow, but when she saw Su Xian fell, she jumped in directly.
Just as she helped Su Xian up, she saw Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang running over with pale faces at the same time. She handed Su Xian to the two women and silently stepped aside.
"I'm fine, don't worry."
Fortunately, the window sill is not high. It still hurt a little when I first landed on the ground, but it was fine after being helped up by Yang Zhilan.
He was about to continue comforting the two ladies to prevent them from worrying, but...he suddenly realized that his current position was so comfortable, and he didn't want to move!
His waist was leaning on Liu Huixiang's legs. Liu Huixiang knelt on the ground and leaned against him softly.
Then his entire upper body, as well as his head, fell into Tang Shuwan's arms...it was fragrant and soft. Could this be the so-called gentle countryside?
Su Xian's thoughts moved and he changed his words shamelessly: "No, my husband seems to be unable to get up. Madams, don't move. Let me lie down for a while."
After hearing this, Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang were frightened to death on the spot, their faces turned pale, and they couldn't get up after falling. It seemed a little serious!
Even to the point of breaking your muscles and bones!
"Come, come quickly..." Tang Shuwan hurriedly called for help, wanting to leave Su Xian behind and go to the rescue in person.
"Madam, don't move." How could Su Xian let her leave? Otherwise, the scene just now would have been in vain. He grabbed her and said with a smile: "Husband, there is no big problem. I just have some skin and flesh pain. Just rest for a while and it will be fine. Don't disturb others."
"My husband is really okay?" Liu Huixiang didn't believe it.
"It's really okay, madam, please help me rub it, maybe it will recover faster." Su Xian looked at Liu Huixiang and smiled.
"Okay... okay!" Liu Huixiang glanced at Yang Zhilan and Tang Shuwan, and very shyly used her hands to massage the sore part of Su Xian's body.
Normally, she would never agree to Su Xian's rude request, but now that her husband was in pain, her heart softened and she couldn't refuse.
Satisfied, Su Xian turned to look at Tang Shuwan and grinned: "Madam, don't move, let me lie down for a while..."
In this way, Su Xian shamelessly lay there for a quarter of an hour. Even Yang Zhilan next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and then he Shi Shiran got up.
"Madams, my husband is back! You are not dreaming." Su Xian stretched out his hands and formally announced to the two women.
"It'll be nice when my husband is back." The two women coyly threw themselves into Su Xian's arms.
Su Xian hugged them unceremoniously, spoke intimate words and expressed his true feelings, and the study suddenly came alive.
After a while, Su Xian looked up at the medicine on the table and asked curiously: "What is that?"
The two women were slightly shocked at the same time. They looked at each other secretly across Su Xian and seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. Then Tang Shuwan left Su Xian, turned around and took the medicine away, saying:
"It's nothing. My husband has come back from a long way. He must be tired. Let my sister give me a squeeze on my husband's shoulders first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Shuwan turned and left.
She placed the package of medicinal materials in front of her so that Su Xian wouldn't see it.
"lady……"
Su Xian was puzzled and wanted to catch up and ask clearly.
Liu Huixiang hurriedly pulled him and sat him down on a chair nearby. She squeezed his shoulders diligently and said with a smile, "Husband, please don't move. Are you tired from the journey?"
"It's not that tiring..." Su Xian nodded, knowing that the two women did it on purpose.
This made him more and more curious, what exactly was that packet of medicinal materials?
After a while, Tang Shuwan left and returned.
The package of medicinal materials was nowhere to be seen, and she must have put it away.
The two women looked at each other again in the distance, then looked at Su Xian at the same time, and said with a smile: "I asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet to welcome the wind and wash away the dust. My husband will wait for a while and he will be ready soon."
"Okay." As soon as Su Xian got home, he didn't want to worry about anything anymore. He was used to the corrupt life at home where he opened his mouth and stretched out his hands when eating.
At that moment, the three of them chatted about their daily routine in the study, as well as anecdotes about Su Xian's trip to Nanchu, why Su Xian suddenly appeared, and other questions...
Not long after, the meal was ready.
Su Xian took the two ladies to the flower hall.
On the way, Tang Shuwan said with a kind and gentle smile:
"My husband came back just in time. I and Sister Liu have prepared a delicious medicinal meal. My husband, please don't be polite later."
"Medicinal food? Are you learning new dishes?" Su Xian almost twisted his calf after hearing this.
This reminded him of the past experience when Tang Shuwan and Liu Huixiang teamed up to pick up food for him not long after she married into the Hou family.
Just let him eat until his stomach is full!
Liu Huixiang obviously thought of this, hugging his arm and saying with a smile: "Husband, don't be afraid, there is only one medicinal meal, other than that, they are all my husband's favorite dishes."
"That's good." Su Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Tang Shuwan also approached, hugged Su Xian's other arm, and said with a smile:
"Husband, you must try it later. It is a dish that Sister Liu and I have learned for a long time. Husband must not let us down."
"Of course. How could my husband let you down? It's nothing."
Having said that, Su Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling... well, there was an illusion that he was being "escorted" by the two women to the "execution ground".
Liu Huixiang was on the right and hugged his arm tightly. Tang Shuwan was on the left and also hugged his arm tightly. The two women wrapped him in the middle.
So what are they doing?
Are you afraid that he will run away?
Maybe I’m overthinking it!
Su Xian's thoughts changed, and he comforted himself with a wry smile. He had been away in Nanchu for a long time, and the two ladies were probably missing him to the extreme. It was normal for them to be more clingy than before when they saw him return home now.
Come to the flower hall.
Su Xian didn't have time to take a closer look at the food and wine on the table.
Liu Huixiang took the initiative to pull out the main chair and respectfully invited Su Xian to take a seat.
Tang Shuwan "escorted" Su Xian and pressed Su Xian on the chair before she let go.
Immediately afterwards, the two women quickly took their seats, with Tang Shuwan on the left and Liu Huixiang on the right. They were both close to Su Xian, with their legs together without any gaps.
In this intimate sitting position, the two women would be able to detect Su Xianruo's slightest movement.
The two ladies love me so much! I'm so happy! Hahahaha... Su Xian felt very comfortable, waiting for the two ladies to serve him a meal.
