Chapter 717 Mrs. Zhurong leaves(1/2)
Mrs. Zhurong held Meng Huo's hand and said gently: "Husband, don't torture yourself like this again. No matter what happens, let's face it together."
At this moment, Meng Huo's copper bell-like eyes suddenly saw a faint trace of paper and pen on the table in front.
A trace of doubt suddenly surged in his heart, turned to look at Mrs. Zhu Rong, and asked loudly, "What's going on?"
A hurriedly said, "No, nothing."
Mrs. Zhurong's appearance made Meng Huo's suspicion even stronger.
He stepped forward suddenly, grabbed Mrs. Zhurong's slender neck tightly, and asked gritted his teeth, "What the hell is going on? Tell me quickly!"
Mrs. Zhurong was so pinched that she was a little breathless, her face was full of horror.
Mrs. Zhurong was strangled by Meng Huo and said with difficulty: "I... I was practicing calligraphy just now."
When Meng Huo heard this, he showed obvious disbelief on his face and snorted coldly: "Hmph, practice calligraphy? Do you think I am so easy to cheat on me as a three-year-old child? Tell the truth!"
His hands tightened a little, his eyes full of persecution. Mrs. Zhurong's face became even more ugly. She struggled, but she didn't know how to explain it to make Meng Huo believe it.
Mrs. Zhurong's face turned red, and she said with difficulty: "Menghuo, let me go, I'm telling the truth."
Meng Huo was not willing to believe it, and still pinched her tightly and said angrily: "If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being polite!"
A trace of despair flashed in Mrs. Zhurong's eyes, tears rolled in her eyes, and she swallowed and said, "I'm really just practicing calligraphy, why don't you believe it?"
Seeing her like this, Meng Huo still had doubts in his heart, but he still let go of his hand a little and said viciously: "If I find that you have half a lie, you are more beautiful!"
Mrs. Zhurong covered her neck and gasped, her eyes full of grievance and helplessness.
Meng Huo slowly let go of Mrs. Zhurong's neck and jumped off the bed. He walked to the table with a gloomy face, carefully observing the paper, his eyes full of suspicion and anger.
He gritted his teeth and asked viciously: "Is it a lady who wrote a letter? You'd better tell me the truth!"
Mrs. Zhu Rong sighed lightly, with a hint of fatigue on her face. She lowered her head slightly and said slowly: "Forget it, forgot, I'd better admit it. It's too tiring to lie."
She raised her head, a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes, "I am indeed writing a letter. I told Prime Minister Xi Yu about our current predicament."
When Meng Huo heard this, his eyes widened, and anger rushed straight into his forehead. "You! You actually did such a thing on my back!" He roared in anger, his heart full of betrayal. His fists were clenched tightly, and blue veins bulged on the back of his hand.
The next moment, Meng Huo suddenly rushed towards Mrs. Zhurong, and his fists hit her like raindrops.
"You bitch! I trust you so much, but you did this!" Meng Huo roared while fighting, and the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.
Mrs. Zhurong did not resist, but just silently endured all this, with tears of regret flowing in her eyes.
She secretly scolded herself for being stupid in her heart, why did she do such a thing? Now it's fine, completely hurting Meng Huo's heart. Meng Huo was completely lost in his mind by anger. He only had hatred and anger for Mrs. Zhurong, completely ignoring the relationship between husband and wife.
In the second half of the night, the moonlight sprinkled in the quiet room like water. Mrs. Zhurong slowly stood up, with tears still on her face, and her eyes were filled with determination and sadness.
She put on her clothes silently and glanced at Meng Huo who was still sleeping, her heart was filled with complicated emotions.
Then, she gently opened the door and left quietly, and her figure gradually disappeared into the night.
The next morning, the sun shone through the window.
Meng Huo woke up leisurely, and subconsciously reached out to touch Mrs. Zhurong beside him, but he felt empty.
He opened his eyes suddenly, sat up, looked around, and found that his wife was missing.
A panic suddenly surged in his heart, and an ominous premonition enveloped his heart.
"Madam! Madam!" Meng Huo shouted, hurriedly getting out of bed and searching around the room.
However, there was no Madam Zhurong anywhere.
Meng Huo then realized that his wife had run away from home.
He beat his head regretfully, his heart full of self-blame and regret. "Why am I so impulsive? I shouldn't treat her like that!" he murmured to himself.
Afterwards, Meng Huo quickly summoned his subordinates and ordered them to go around to find the whereabouts of Mrs. Zhurong.
He stood in the yard, paced back and forth anxiously, praying in his heart that he could find his wife soon, and he was really afraid that he would lose her from now on.
His face was full of regret, and he kept blaming himself for what he did yesterday in his heart.
At this time, he could only hope to find Mrs. Zhurong as soon as possible and make up for his mistakes.
On this day, the sun was shining. Xi Yu, Xiao Hong, Ouyang Linlin and Song Shuwen finally stepped into the territory of Wuhuan after going through hardships.
As soon as they entered Wuhuan, they were surprised to find a bustling and extremely prosperous market.
Xiaohong's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to the distance with excitement and shouted: "Look, there are those who sell candied haws!"
Her face was full of desire, and she was thinking about the sour and sweet taste, which was so greedy.
Ouyang Linlin looked at Xiaohong's cute appearance and smiled and said, "Then just buy it."
Xi Yu quickly took out the money from his arms, handed it to Xiaohong, and said gently: "Go quickly, Xiaohong."
At this time, Song Shuwen waved his hand and said with a smile: "I am old and I don't want to eat these, so I don't have to buy them for me."
His eyes revealed a sense of indifference and open-mindedness, thinking in his heart that he was indeed not very interested in these things that children like.
Xiaohong happily took the money and jumped toward the place where candied haws were sold. While running, she turned around and shouted: "I'm going!"
Xi Yu and others looked at Xiao Hong's cheerful back and showed a doting smile on their faces.
After a while, Xi Yu looked at Xiaohong and Ouyang Linlin eating candied haws with relish, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
He smiled and said to Ouyang Linlin: "Linlin, just buy whatever you like, don't be polite to me."
Ouyang Linlin had candied haws in her mouth and replied vaguely: "Yeah, I know."
After a while, Ouyang Linlin licked her lips and said embarrassedly: "Xi Yu, I suddenly feel so thirsty."
When Xi Yu heard this, he looked around and happened to see a teahouse in front of him.
He hurriedly said, "Let's go, there is a teahouse in front of you. Let's go there to have some tea." As he said that, he took them towards the teahouse.
The three of them walked into the teahouse and found a quiet seat to sit down. Xi Yu called the guy and ordered a few cups of tea.
Ouyang Linlin breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I can finally sit down and have a good rest."
Xi Yu looked at her gently and said, "Yes, I'm tired even if I run around."
After a while, the guy brought the tea.
Ouyang Linlin picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said contentedly: "Well, this tea tastes pretty good."
Xiaohong also took a sip of tea, then looked around with bright eyes and said, "It's so lively here."
Xi Yu nodded with a smile and said, "There are people coming and going here, and it's really lively."
Then he turned to look at Ouyang Linlin and asked softly: "Linlinlin, where will we go next?"
Ouyang Linlin thought for a while and said, "Why don't we go and see if there are any interesting gadgets."
Xi Yu replied: "Okay, I will listen to you."
Suddenly, Xi Yu heard someone talking on the neighboring table, and his ears suddenly stood up.
Only one person said, "I heard that Mrs. Zhurong and Meng Huo had quarreled and had run away from home. Now Meng Huo is sending people to search everywhere."
When Xi Yu heard this, he was shocked and his thoughts were pulled back to the past.
When Ouyang Linlin heard this discussion, she felt inexplicably scared. She grabbed Xi Yu's sleeve tightly, her eyes full of worry.
I was afraid that Xi Yu would remember the pain that Tuoba Yu had brought him because of this news.
Xi Yu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He patted Ouyang Linlin's hand gently and comforted him: "Linlin, it's okay."
Xi Yu came to his senses and immediately walked towards the people who were discussing, and asked politely: "Brothers, can you tell me a little bit about what's going on?"
The people looked at each other, and one of them said, "We just know a rough idea. It seems that Meng Huo encountered a difficult problem. Mrs. Zhurong thought it should be told to the court, but Meng Huo felt that it was too embarrassing."
After hearing this, Xi Yu couldn't help but stand still, thinking to himself: What kind of big thing needs to be reported to the court?
He frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Xi Yu came to his senses and thanked the people again: "Thank you for your advice."
Then he turned around and returned to Ouyang Linlin and said to her: "Linlinlin, I decided to go to Meng Huo together to find out the situation."
Ouyang Linlin nodded.
After a while, Xi Yu brought Xiaohong, Ouyang Linlin and Song Shuwen to Meng Huo's home.
Standing at the door, Xi Yu said to the servant at the door with a serious expression: "Go and report it, and you will say that the Prime Minister is here."
When the servant heard this, he nodded and replied, and then hurriedly ran into the mansion to report.
Xi Yu stood with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.
At this moment, Meng Huo was sitting in the hall with a depressed frown, his face full of irritability. At this moment, the servant ran in in a panic. Meng Huo was suddenly a little unhappy and shouted impatiently: "Why are you so panic!"
The servant hurriedly replied: "Sir, outside... outside said that the Prime Minister is here!"
When Meng Huo heard this, his face was shocked, his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe his ears, and murmured: "Prime Minister? Why..." He was stunned and didn't know what to do for a moment.
Meng Huo came back to his senses and quickly asked the servant again: "Did you confirm? Don't make a mistake!"
The servant replied nervously: "Sir, the young one doesn't know each other, but that person does say he is the prime minister."
Meng Huo frowned, thought for a while, and thought to himself that he would rather go to the reception in person than to believe in nothing.
