Chapter 545: Strength to Protect Wife

People were coming and going at the Dragon Boat Festival, but no one could fail to recognize Lord Zhizhou in his official robes.

The sight of this alarmed Zhizhou, and the crowd watching the excitement became even more enthusiastic. One by one, they rushed to answer. The family seemed to have found a supporter, and they became aggrieved. They said that Xin Yi had pushed down the third girl of their family, and even cursed the third girl to die...

…

The delicate third girl even covered her face with her sleeves and looked at the young and handsome Lord Zhizhou with shame, her face flushed.

Fu Jiuqu nodded strangely and suddenly smiled.

"My wife was right..."

With a sigh, he looked at the crowd with a reluctant attitude.

"Of course, if there is any conflict in my wife's words, I would like to apologize on her behalf..."

lady?

What madam?

The crowd froze briefly.

Until Fu Jiuqu walked towards Xin Yi, frowned and looked at her for a moment, and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was okay.

"You want to see the dragon boat, why don't you tell me?"

Xin Yi: "I don't want to disturb you."

"Are you stupid?" Fu Jiuqu smiled, took her hand and gently held it in his palm. Like a magic trick, he suddenly pulled out a sachet embroidered into a dragon boat from his sleeve and waved it in front of her eyes.

.

"Do you like it?"

The sachet was very delicately made and perfectly suited to the occasion. Xin Yi nodded.

Fu Jiuqu said: "Today's dragon boat racing lucky draw, I think it is done very well, I want one."

He stuffed it into Xin Yi's hand and said, "Here you go, put some spices you like in it."

I brought Xinyi to my nose and smelled it, but there was no fragrance.

"Thanks!"

Fu Jiuqu frowned, and soon the girl's smile returned, and she gently rubbed her head, smiling helplessly and lovingly.

"There's nothing we can do about you."

Xin Yi:……

Good guy, I have learned a lot of golden sayings from Mr. Ba.

She just lowered her head and looked like a gentle and virtuous Mrs. Zhizhou, and said nothing more.

As for other matters, with Fu Jiuqu here, there is no need for her to come forward...

That delicate third girl is the niece of Mrs. Ge Yong, Chen, named Chen Lanxiu.

In Yangzhou, her family is indeed a well-connected person. Today, she pestered her aunt Chen to come out to watch the dragon boat. On a whim, she wanted to queue up for a bowl of Baicao drink, but unexpectedly she hit the muzzle of a gun...

She was pushed and fell down, and she felt humiliated and aggrieved. Now she found out that the person she had offended was Mrs. Zhizhou. She was afraid of being scolded by her aunt and uncle, so she quickly put her tail between her legs and started crying.

The girl is there begging for mercy...

Fu Jiuqu listened without changing his expression and smiled lightly.

"Third Miss, I have been wronged. I will prepare a generous gift later and ask Mr. Ge to convey my apology on my behalf. Farewell!"

Xin Yi was slightly surprised and looked into his dark eyes.

Fu Jiuqu stared down at her, gently held her shoulders, "Let's go, I'll take you to the racing platform to watch the dragon boats."

In front of others, the two always look so loving.

Xin Yi didn't say anything and followed silently.

It wasn't until she was far away from the crowd that she whispered: "I find that you have changed a lot."

Fu Jiuqu: "Is it getting better or worse?"

Xin Yi smiled softly, "It's not good or bad. I have become more like a person of this era, and I have become more sinister and sophisticated..."

Fu Jiuqu: "Then I take it as a compliment."

In front of so many people, he seemed to be giving Chen Lanxiu a lot of face, but in fact, he made the governor a gentle and courteous person, and passed the blame to Ge Yong.

A discerning person can see that the Chen family's goddaughter is not strict and is arrogant and domineering because of the power of Lord Tongxuan. Today, she is unlucky to meet Mrs. Zhizhou. If she were an ordinary citizen, wouldn't she torture her to death?

The crowd queuing under the colorful canopy did not disperse.

Even though Fu Jiuqu and Xin Yi had gone far away, and Chen Lanxiu and the servant girl had disappeared, there were still many people talking about Fang Cai's affairs.

Not to mention how much Master Zhizhou loves his wife, we can make up many stories just by talking about this Baicao Drink.

"For a bowl of Baicao drink, Mrs. Zhizhou and Tongpan Qianjin almost came to blows..."

··

Returning to the stands, Xin Yi was surprised to find that the young lady accompanying Mrs. Ge had disappeared, and only Ge Yong and his wife came to greet her.

Ge Yong was already aware of Cai Cai's affairs and kept apologizing, saying that his niece was not sensible. Mrs. Chen was also full of apologies, helped Xin Yi sit down, laughed with her again and again, asked if Xin Yi had been hit, and

He said he would take Chen Lanxiu to his house to apologize.

Xin Yi looked calm, "It's just a trivial matter, Madam, don't take it to heart."

Mrs. Chen said: "This girl has been spoiled by my brother. I have to go back to my parents' house tomorrow and talk to him about how he spoiled this little girl to such a crazy degree..."

With such a strong tone, it was obvious that she was really angry.

Compared with her husband's career, her niece's reputation is nothing.

Xin Yi smiled knowingly and didn't respond.

Mrs. Chen couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

In terms of age, this county princess is only a few years older than her careless niece, but this city that is hidden and far beyond her years is a world away.

She had no choice but to laugh with him again, pass fruit and water, and was very attentive.

At this time, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out on the river bank——

More than ten dragon boats were rushing back from far to near. The gongs and drums were loud and loud, and the shouts were up and down, which diluted the embarrassment in the stands.

Xin Yi looked at the dragon boat on the river with a smile, his expression relaxed and natural.

Fu Jiuqu glanced over, exchanged a few polite words with Ge Yong, waited for the boat race to end, and left early on the pretext of accompanying his wife back home.

··

Xin Yi rarely spoke from beginning to end. At first glance, she looked no different from an ordinary housewife, but Fu Jiuqu knew that this woman had a high-spirited nature and was too lazy to pay attention to such mundane things.

Sitting on the carriage, it was a little hot. Xin Yi didn't know how to explain why he came to the dragon boat race, so he just played with the dragon boat sachet in silence.

Fu Jiuqu sat in front of her for a moment, closed his eyes slightly, then suddenly stood up and sat next to her.

"The road into the city is a bit bumpy..."

He put his arm around her and seemed to be supporting her, but in fact he was holding her half in his arms.

Finally, I might as well add a sentence.

"You've gained so much weight that I can't hold you anymore..."

Halfway through, Xin Yi looked at her and stopped quickly, a smile appearing in her dark eyes.

"Why did you come here suddenly? Don't tell me, just to see the dragon boat?"

Xin Yi: "I'm just bored. I wandered around and ended up here."

Fu Jiuqu stared at her and lowered his eyes to her belly, as if he was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so he moved his position and said, "If I had known you were so lively, I would have brought you here... Hehe, I'm holding my belly all by myself.

If you run out, you will be bumped into. I don’t know who will cry..."

Xin Yi took a breath, "It's not like I didn't say I was coming."

Fu Jiuqu was startled when he thought of what she said last night, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.

"You are such a weird person, how can I tell if you are sincere or not?"

Saying she is yin and yang is weird? Wouldn’t you bite back on her?

Xin Yi glanced at him and half-smiled, "I'm afraid it's not because I'm here that it's inconvenient to take your confidante to see the dragon boat and flirt with her, right?"

Fu Jiuqu's black eyes sank slightly, and he was surprised at first. After realizing the hint of jealousy in her words, he actually raised the corners of his lips.

"Where is the confidante you mentioned? Why didn't I see her?"

Xin Yi's eyes remained motionless and his voice was soft.

"The little lady Master Ge brought, isn't it? Without your approval, Master Ge probably wouldn't dare to bring anyone into the house, right?"

Fu Jiuqu held her tightly with both hands, and his uncontrollable smile became a little deformed, as if he had endured it again and again, and finally burst out laughing.
