After Qi Shuo finished his military affairs, he was urged by his subordinates to come back home, saying that he wanted to visit his new wife and develop feelings for her.
Although Qi Shuo did not marry his wife voluntarily, but now that she has arrived at his home, he cannot treat her badly. Besides, he was almost raped by a bandit before and was injured. The little girl is not familiar with the place in his territory. It's time to offer condolences and comfort.
When he returned to the house, the first people to greet him were two little carrot heads, holding his legs and kissing his father.
The two little guys were so cute that Qi Shuo couldn't help but laugh and raised his hand to touch their heads.
"Ah Xing has grown taller again!"
Qi Xing jumped twice with joy, unlike his usual aloof appearance.
"Dad, what about me?"
"Aqi has grown taller too."
Qi Shuo smiled and picked up his daughter, jokingly asked, "What have you eaten these days? Not only have you grown taller, but you have also gained a lot of weight!"
Qi Qi said honestly: "I've been eating at the new madam's place these days..."
"Aqi! Stop talking nonsense!"
Qi Xing didn't let Qi Qi speak. Qi Qi listened to her brother, so naturally she stopped talking.
They even went to the new lady's place for barbecue the day before yesterday!
The new wife cooks delicious food, is a nice person, and is pretty.
Aqi likes the new wife very much, but her brother says that the new wife is fake and wants to please them so that she can steal her father away.
Aqi was also a little afraid, fearing that if his father was really taken away, he would not love them anymore, but every time he smelled the delicious food cooked by the new wife, these worries were forgotten and could not be remembered.
Qi Shuo couldn't help but be curious when his daughter suddenly mentioned the new wife. These two little guys seemed to have become familiar with the Cheng daughter.
"Let's go see Miss Cheng!"
Aqi was confused: "Who is Miss Cheng?"
Qi Xing said: "Idiot, that's the new lady! Her surname is Cheng!"
Aqi laughed: "Okay, okay!"
Qi Shuo patted his son on the head and said, "Not polite!"
Qi Xing covered his head and hummed twice.
Qi Shuo also received a letter from Wu Niang these days, roughly talking about some things about Miss Cheng, saying that she was urging him to come back early to get married. It seems that she was a little anxious about the marriage, so it was not inappropriate for him to keep neglecting her girl. Proper behavior.
The three of them went to Cheng Wenwen's yard together.
When a maid in the mansion saw the general coming back, she quickly changed direction and went to Wu Li's yard to inform her of the incident.
…
At this time, Cheng Wenwen was instructing He and Pei'er to plant vegetables, and did not notice anyone coming at the door of the courtyard.
Still with sharp eyes, He suddenly said: "General? Are you back?"
"General? General!!"
Cheng Wenwen suddenly sat up in shock, feeling panicked inside.
What’s on my mind is: That man who is rumored to be old, ugly, and prone to domestic violence is back?
came back? ! ! !
Didn’t you say that you won’t come back even once in half a year?
How many days has it been? Just come back?
She turned to look at the door in disbelief.
There was indeed a man standing there.
The man was tall and tall, holding Qi Qi in his arms.
Cheng Wenwen looked at the general's face, and the first thing she noticed was the messy beard on the side. He seemed to have not shaved for a long time, and his beard was about half a finger long, making him look a little scruffy.
Just take a closer look and you will see that the man has clear and strong eyes and a tough face. If you shave off the messy beard, he should be pretty good-looking. However, no matter how good-looking he is, half of his face is blocked by the beard. He's not very handsome, I can only say he's passable.
This man may be a general who often goes to the battlefield, so he has a cold aura that is not angry but powerful, making people afraid to take a second look at him.
Cheng Wenwen remembered the rumors of domestic violence and couldn't help but lower her eyes and tugged her hair to mess it up a bit, hoping that the general wouldn't take a fancy to her.
Before Qi Shuo entered the door, he heard a woman's clear voice commanding something.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a pretty and lovely girl sitting on a chair, lazily basking in the sun. She was relaxed. She was not as dignified and noble as those women from the aristocratic family I had seen, but she seemed really friendly. .
But when the girl heard that she was coming, she suddenly became a little wary and stood up. After seeing herself, her face became embarrassed and scared again. I wonder if she was scared?
Qi Shuo couldn't help but think: He was the one who disturbed her peace. He didn't expect her to be so timid.
"What is Miss Cheng doing?"
He spoke in what he thought was a gentle voice, trying to ease the girl's fear.
Unexpectedly, the girl was still afraid. She lowered her eyes and said, "I...I...plant...plant..."
The girl didn't say a word for a long time. Qi Shuo couldn't help but wonder, could this Cheng be stuttering?
its not right! Just now he heard her voice, which was normal.
Could it be that he was scared by himself?
In fact, it was Cheng Wenwen who pretended.
If he wants to make this general look down on him, he can only act ugly again and again, pretending to be a stuttering girl who can't stand the stage, so he shouldn't be interested in him anymore, right?
Cheng Wenwen was secretly happy and couldn't help praising herself for being smart.
"Miss! How did you...hey..."
Seeing that she was so careless, Mrs. He was a little helpless and could only think about herself and said to Qishuo: "General, don't blame me. Miss, she is not like this on weekdays. She must be happy to see you and is too nervous to act like this!"
Cheng Wenwen looked at He fiercely.
Aunt He! If you don't know how to interpret it, you don't have to interpret it.
Does she look so happy to see him?
When Qi Shuo heard what He said, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He looked at Cheng Wenwen and saw that the Cheng girl did seem a bit squeamish, so he didn't say much.
"What are you planting?"
"The lady brought some seeds, saying they are a kind of fruit and are delicious when grown."
After Mrs. He finished her reply, she quickly pushed Cheng Wenwen's shoulder and motioned for her to take the initiative.
But Cheng Wenwen always kept her head down, not looking at the general, trying her best to appear petty.
Qi Shuo looked at the girl who lowered her head and thought that maybe he was really here to scare her, so he wisely said: "Then you guys, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
"General, are you... coming for dinner tonight?" Seeing Cheng Wenwen being so inactive, Mr. He felt anxious and had no choice but to take action on her own.
Cheng Wenwen listened to He's invitation and raised her hand to pull He's hand, signaling her to be quiet.
Who wants him to come to dinner?
Qi Shuo naturally saw the girl's rejection of him, so he refused: "I still have something to do, so I won't come. If you need any help, you can just order the servants, or tell Wu Niang and let her take care of it."
He nodded awkwardly: "Yes, General, walk slowly."
Seeing the general leaving with the two babies, Mrs. He pulled Cheng Wenwen angrily: "Miss, why did you slip up at the critical moment! The general finally came back, but you didn't seize the opportunity to get close to him, and you still do this... Why……"
He didn't know whether Cheng Wenwen was pretending or was really scared, but she also hated the fact that iron cannot become steel.
Cheng Wenwen looked up and saw that the man was gone. She breathed a sigh of relief and continued to sit on the chair, ignoring He's words.
…
Qi Xing followed Qi Shuo and left. He glanced at the girl in the yard suspiciously and muttered: "Weird! She was obviously not like this when I saw her a few days ago, right?"
"What did you say?" Qi Shuo heard his muttering and asked.
Qi Xing said directly: "The new lady doesn't usually stutter, and she's not that timid!"
After hearing this, Qi Shuo understood and touched his face, feeling more certain that the Cheng girl was frightened by her appearance.
