Everyone got into the car one by one, Yan Dashan drove the car himself, and dozens of plainclothes men followed behind on foot. The group rushed towards the direction of Jiangcheng Bofu.

By the time they returned to the uncle's house, it was already around ten o'clock in the evening.

In the flower hall of the main house, father-in-law Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu have been waiting here, keeping watch while waiting for Zhu Xiuyuan and the others to return home.

"Xian son-in-law, Zhen'er, you are back. Did you have a smooth journey?" Father-in-law put down a book and looked at Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen who walked in arm in arm.

Dong Shuyu was sitting idle, bored, and was flipping through a book in her hand. Although she did not speak, she moved her eyes away from the book and looked at the two of them.

"Everything went well, nothing happened." Zhu Xiuyuan approached with his wife, "I'd like to thank my father-in-law and Shuyu for worrying about us, so we rushed back to stay with you."

"Dad, sister, it's a real pity that you didn't go shopping!"

Dong Shuzhen let go of Zhu Xiuyuan's hand, gestured and described what she saw and heard along the way, as if Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu had never met before.

In fact, Dong Cheng had lived for most of his life, how could he not have seen such lively scenes?

Dong Shuyu had traveled all over the country in the past to do business, and had seen a lot of things. Naturally, he had also seen such lively scenes.

However, they saw that Dong Shuzhen was talking enthusiastically, so they left her alone. Today was New Year's Eve, so it was rare to be happy. Dong Shuzhen's babbling introduction also added a bit of New Year's flavor.

Boom!

Suddenly, a sound came from the ground at Zhu Xiuyuan's feet, as if something fell to the ground.

Zhu Xiuyuan immediately looked over, oh my God, it was actually the ghost mask Dong Shuzhen was hiding in her waist!

It must have been that Dong Shuzhen was bragging, gesticulating and gesticulating, and her movements were too large, causing the mask hidden around her waist to be unstable and fall off.

The ghost mask was lying on the ground, with the ghost side facing up. It was located at Zhu Xiuyuan's feet, about two feet away from Dong Shuzhen's feet.

The sound of it falling was quite loud, alarming everyone. When Zhu Xiuyuan turned his head and looked over, Dong Shuzhen suddenly stopped bragging and looked down.

Not only that, Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu also looked over.

Zhu Xiuyuan made a quick decision and took a step forward, blocking it behind his heel, thus blocking the sight of Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu.

Because Zhu Xiuyuan was wearing a robe, like a woman's skirt, with a very wide hem, he took a step forward and covered the ghost mask tightly.

"What dropped?" Dong Cheng asked confused.

"It's nothing. A piece of jade pendant hanging on my son-in-law's waist fell off. It's not a problem."

Zhu Xiuyuan knelt down and reached out to pick up the "jade pendant". When he answered, he emphasized the pronunciation of the word "jade pendant".

Zhu Xiuyuan quickly picked up the ghost mask and hid it behind his back. Zhu Xiuyuan did not stand up in a hurry, but raised his eyes slightly and looked at the lady a few feet away.

The first thing he saw was the hem of Dong Shuzhen's skirt. It was white and flawless, with some flower patterns carefully embroidered on it. It was very beautiful. But at this time, the white skirt was trembling slightly.

Zhu Xiuyuan felt funny in his heart. He looked up again and met Dong Shuzhen's eyes directly.

Those are a pair of big round eyes, crystal clear and exceptionally beautiful, like two gems.

But now, these big round eyes reveal all kinds of complex emotions, including panic, fear, and prayer...

With a smile on his face, Zhu Xiuyuan stood up slowly, clasped his hands behind his back, hiding the ghost mask tightly, then sat down on the chair next to him, and hid the ghost mask in his loose robe.

Father and daughter Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu were relieved when they heard that only a jade pendant had fallen off. When they looked at Dong Shuzhen again and were about to continue listening to her bragging, they were both stunned.

Because Dong Shuzhen had stopped bragging, followed him, and ran to the side of Zhu Xiuyuan's chair, her face was very strange, but very red.

Dong Cheng's expression quickly returned to normal, and he ignored the matter in a blink of an eye, and only said: "Tonight's stay at the New Year's Eve is a rare opportunity for us to have some free time, and we can talk freely about the affairs of the court and family."

Dong Cheng said, picking up the tea cup and taking a sip to relax. He was always busy with official duties in the yamen on weekdays. He could only chat with them for a while during breakfast or dinner.

Now it was time to take advantage of New Year's Eve to have a good chat. He also wanted to know more about other things in the mansion.

Upon hearing this, Dong Shuyu closed the book directly, straightened his posture, and prepared to participate in this "New Year's Eve Family Meeting".

Because Dong Shuyu is in charge of the business in the mansion, this aspect will definitely come up when the time comes, and among many things in the mansion, money is also needed. Whenever money is used, business matters will be involved.

For example, wine making, formation of family generals, and human relations, etc.

"Well, I wonder where my father-in-law is in the government office..."

Zhu Xiuyuan held the ghost mask with one hand and hid it in his robe. On the surface, there was nothing unusual about it. He first talked about the affairs of the Runzhou Prefecture Yamen.

Dong Shuzhen, on the other hand, stood beside Zhu Xiuyuan's chair, pitifully staring at the ghost mask in Zhu Xiuyuan's hand without saying a word and turning a deaf ear to the chat between them.

Everyone chatted for a while, and suddenly, Dong Cheng noticed that his youngest daughter, Dong Shuzhen, was standing next to the Xian-shu's chair.

He was slightly surprised and couldn't help but said: "Zhen'er, what are you doing there? Come quickly and sit down."

"Dad... daughter... daughter wants to squeeze her husband's shoulders!"

While talking, Dong Shuzhen turned around and walked behind Zhu Xiuyuan. Her smile was uglier than her tears. She put her hands on his shoulders and began to squeeze them gently.

"Husband, I've been very tired these days. It's hard to relax today... Husband, do you want to take it lightly or focus on it?"

Dong Shuzhen had an attentive look on her face, and from time to time she would poke her head over Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulder, flicking it back and forth in the corner of his eye, with a look of pity on her face, and she would keep winking.

"Hey, feel comfortable, focus, use force!"

Zhu Xiuyuan burst out laughing in his heart, but on the surface it was as usual. He slumped comfortably on the chair and enjoyed Dong Shuzhen's poor massage skills.

"Well done, husband!"

Dong Shuzhen looked attentive and immediately increased the strength of her hands.

"Hiss, tap lightly..."

"Oh, I, please be gentle."

…

Father and daughter Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu looked at each other.

What kind of situation is this?

Wasn't it agreed that this was a "New Year's Eve family meeting"? Why did it suddenly turn into a "crazy dog ​​food" scene?

Dong Shuyu was fine, she had known for a long time that her younger sister was very playful and would do unexpected things from time to time.

As for her brother-in-law Zhu Xiuyuan, he is also a person who goes his own way and sometimes has no rules. In other words, the worldly rules are bullshit in his eyes.

It's not surprising that two people like this collided and created this strange "spark".

But Dong Cheng's face gradually darkened.

But he didn't say anything, he just felt a little tired...

Zhu Xiuyuan "enjoyed" for a while, and then started to pick up the topic again. This time he talked about things he was doing, such as preparations for martial arts competitions, Shenlei Square, Shenlei Army Camp, and brewing fine wine.

Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu gradually forgot about Dong Shuzhen's abnormality and began to chat...

Zhu Xiuyuan bared his teeth and grinned. This Dong Shuzhen was not the same material at all. Her two strong little hands squeezed him until he wanted to cry.

Finally, Zhu Xiuyuan's hand hidden in his robe moved slightly.

Dong Shuzhen almost kept staring at that hand. When she saw it moving, she immediately understood what Zhu Xiuyuan meant.

While they were chatting, Dong Shuzhen suddenly said: "Oh, your husband must be thirsty. I'll give you a cup of tea!"

Under the strange looks of Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu, Dong Shuzhen stopped massaging, turned around and walked in front of Zhu Xiuyuan, put the teapot in advance, refilled a cup of tea, held the cup in both hands and turned around.

She suddenly leaned forward, and the distance was close enough to block the sight of Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu.

Dong Shuzhen's chubby cheeks were flushed, she held the teacup in one hand and opened it to him with the other.

Zhu Xiuyuan twitched the corners of his mouth, but stopped teasing her.

He first took out the ghost mask from his robe, put it in her hand, then took the tea cup and said with a smile: "Thank you, madam!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome. It's the right thing for me to serve my husband and drink tea..."

Dong Shuzhen's little face was still blushing, but she was so happy to have the ghost mask back, and she could not hide the joy on her face.

"Oh, dad, sister, husband, I suddenly remembered something. I have to make arrangements for Qiu Wen and Xia Wu. You guys should talk first..."

Before anyone could respond, Dong Shuzhen hid the ghost mask behind her, gradually backed away, then suddenly turned around, hid the mask in front of her like lightning, then ran out and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Dong Cheng and Dong Shuyu both looked at each other. Dong Shuzhen looked strange in everything today!

However, they did not delve into this further and started chatting with Zhu Xiuyuan again.

…

Speaking of Dong Shuzhen, after running out of the flower hall, she ran towards her room, took out the ghost mask, and couldn't wait to look at it...

Soon, Dong Shuzhen opened the door of her room.

"Miss!"

"Miss!"

Two maids, Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, came over.

Dong Shuzhen nodded slightly, with a blush on her face and a hint of excitement that was difficult to conceal.

She walked to the small round table in the middle of the room and put the ghost mask in her hand on it.

Now, there are three masks on the table, two ghost masks and one rabbit mask. The rabbit mask belongs to Qiu Wen.

Dong Shuzhen and Xia Wu were very excited when they looked at the masks on the table, as if they were looking at their own huge property.
