On this long summer afternoon, Xin Yi's mood was ups and downs like a roller coaster in the boring Tianshui Pavilion.

She thought a lot about how to deal with the whole thing, and she didn't relax until Xiang Ling brought the meal and faced the Songjiang seabass.

Fu Jiuqu came back early today.

The smiling wife, the peacefully sleeping son, and the three children who called him Uncle Fu but respected him as a relative. Such scenes quickly brought him back to a familiar and peaceful happiness.

At nightfall, when the coolness subsided a little, the family sat around the courtyard, drinking tea and talking. At the second watch, the three little ones were taken down to sleep by the girls.

Xin Yi handed the little fish to the wet nurse and personally helped Fu Jiuqu bathe and change clothes.

Summer bugs were chirping outside the window, and his lovely wife was so gentle in front of him. Fu Jiuqu felt a little hollow when his feet stepped on the ground.

"Why do you treat me so well today?"

Xin Yi hugged his waist, leaned his soft body against him, and smiled lazily.

"Don't you think you're busy? I spend all day relaxing in the back house and can't help you. I have to do something to feel at ease."

Fu Jiuqu kissed her forehead.

No man can resist an overture from a woman he likes.

Prince Guangling was no exception. His heart felt like it was filled with honey and was about to melt.

"You don't have to work hard. I just like to see you eating and working leisurely and enjoying yourself. Otherwise, what's the point of marrying me?"

"Then I want to care about you too."

Fu Jiuqu gently stroked her back and chuckled.

"Why do you want to care about me, madam?"

Xin Yiyu flapped her eyelashes slightly and thought for a moment.

"Have you found the green calyx?"

Fu Jiuqu's eyes darkened slightly, "No."

He found the shopkeeper of the foot shop and interrogated Hongdou again.

It can be confirmed that Gao Minglou beat Lu E on that day, but the shopkeeper only heard some noise and did not know anything else. But Hong Dou believed that Lu E was beaten to death on the spot, so he had someone put him in a sack and drag him out from the back door of the foot shop.

of.

But Fu Jiuqu sent his officers to fish for several days along the river at the Chenghuang Temple, but no corpse was found, and no other unknown female corpses appeared in Yangzhou Prefecture.

It's midsummer right now, and unless the body is buried deep underground or far away from people, it will be difficult for people to notice it without emitting a peculiar smell.

"Don't be anxious, look for it slowly." Xin Yi looked into his dark eyes and consoled him: "Yangzhou City is so big, it's not easy to find a living person, and it's even harder to find a dead person."

Fu Jiuqu pursed his lips slightly, and the lines of his cheeks became much softer.

"I dare not fail to do what my wife has told me. I am afraid of failing your trust..."

"It doesn't matter." Xin Yi's fingers pinched his waist gently, "We are husband and wife, and we should bear everything together. How can we live up to our responsibilities? It seems so separate."

Fu Jiuqu kissed her forehead and said, "Okay. No more talking."

Xin Yi raised his eyes, "Have everything been sorted out in the Yamen?"

"Yeah." Fu Jiuqu smiled softly, running his fingers from her cheek, neatly stroking her fallen hair behind her ears, his eyes filled with warmth.

"Such a trivial matter can't trouble my husband."

Xin Yi's dark eyes moved slightly with a smile.

"Is there nothing that is difficult for you?"

"What, you want to be my military advisor?"….

"My little lady is happy to help. Especially those that are difficult for Master Zhizhou to deal with, such as women's sex, housekeeping, etc..."

Fu Jiuqu lowered his head to catch her gaze, seemingly confused.

Xin Yi shrank into his arms, clasped his generous and slender palms, slowly crossed his fingers one by one, turned over and pressed him down, his eyes like dotted paint showing a cunning light.

"The Prince of Guangling County looks panicked. Could it be that he is hiding in the golden house and raising a baby outside without telling me?"

Fu Jiuqu nodded at her funny, his clear black eyes as usual.

"I have a fierce wife in my family, how can I be so bold?"

Xin Yi tilted his head

, "You're not lying?"

"I lie. But I never lie to Eleven." Fu Jiuqu looked at her and gently took off the hairpin on her head. The black hair hung down.

On his shoulder, Fu Jiuqu's eyes were particularly dark.

"eleven."

Facing such a wife, his heart was completely soft.

"I, Fu Jiuqu, swear that I will never betray you even though I will betray everyone in the world in my life."

Seeing that he never mentioned anything about Lady Mei, Xin Yi smiled slightly and gently touched his calloused palms.

"Is this what you said? If I catch you, you will be dead."

Fu Jiuqu smiled jokingly, "You little woman dare to suspect your husband of being unfaithful. It seems you should be taught a lesson..."

He hugged Xin Yi and turned her around, pressing her head of green hair on the soft yellow pillow.

"Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Fingers slide across the forehead, between the eyebrows, the tip of the nose, lips, neck...

Xin Yi was so aware of Prince Guangling's methods that he couldn't help but struggled a few times and begged for mercy with a smile.

"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore, I am young, frivolous and ignorant, and I bumped into the county king. I ask the county king to show your kindness and spare me..."

Fu Jiuqu felt soft in his heart and laughed.

"If you still feel repentant, then..."

His long arm flicked slightly, and the light curtain dropped.

Under the dim light of the night, there was a sense of desolation.

··

Xin Yi spent several days but could not find out where Fu Jiuqu hid Yu Mei.

From Sun Huai to Duan Sui to the other personal guards, everyone's loyalty is to Fu Jiuqu. If Fu Jiuqu sincerely wants to hide something from her, then she may completely become a person locked up in the back house.

Blind man, deaf man.

Fortunately, it is not difficult to figure out Fu Jiuqu's whereabouts.

A wife can have reasonable knowledge of her husband's whereabouts.

That afternoon, Fu Jiuqu sent someone to tell her that he would come back later and let her eat by herself. Xin Yi immediately handed Xiao Yu'er to Xiang Ling, changed her clothes, and went out with Yinshuang in her arms.

Yinshuang was like a terrain navigation device with precise positioning. Xinyi watched it spread its wings and rush towards the sky, raised his head and smiled, and clamped his legs on the horse's belly.

"drive!"

On the way to chase Yinshuang, Xin Yi's mind kept flashing back to Fu Jiuqu's appearance these days. There was really nothing suspicious about what he said and did.

Why did he hide Yu Mei secretly and refused to tell himself?

Xin Yi didn't like to think about the worst, but she couldn't understand why she couldn't feel at ease.

If Fu Jiuqu really dares to step into two different boats and do random things, then castrate him!….

Barely suppressing his dissatisfaction, Xin Yi rode straight away. Unexpectedly, Yin Shuang swept across the water and fell directly into the nunnery on Luotuo Mountain.

··

Since the last time Wulong Nunnery was raided by the government, the old nun passed away, and the younger nuns were dismissed, it has become a place of ruin.

In the waterside nunnery, the wind was strong and humid, and the gauze tent swayed gently.

Yu Mei curled up on the ground, trembling and pulling on her clothes, crying pitifully.

"The king spared me. I don't dare to do it anymore. I don't dare to do it anymore..."

Fu Jiuqu had a cold face and said nothing. There was no emotion or anger on his face.

"Sun Huai——"

Sun Huai walked up to Yu Mei carrying a bowl of black soup.

"Mrs. Mei, just drink it yourself, and you will suffer less... Who is our master... You are not overestimating your abilities. Alas! In the next life, you will be reincarnated and live a responsible life..."

Yu Mei seemed to be frightened. She looked up with a pale face, looked at him, and then looked at Fu Jiuqu.

That bowl of dark soup exudes a strong fishy smell. If you eat it, you will die.

The Prince of Guangling County really wanted to kill her. He was not here to test her, let alone to recognize her.

Yu Mei was so frightened that her beautiful face twisted and changed color, and she couldn't care less.
