The group returned to Tinghe Yuxie. Liniang and Xuehua excused themselves to visit the two young masters, and then left. Except for Su Jinsong and Jin Xiyan, there was no one else in the room.

"Something happened to my cousin." Jin Xiyan said straight to the point.

Su Jinsong's heart sank. She had a very bad premonition. She knew that although her husband and she had not settled their differences, they could clearly have dinner at the same table when he left the capital. When they parted, she also saw

She felt the affection in her husband's eyes, so this time, even though she knew Qiu Wuhen had been back for half a month, she did not come to Zhuangzi to see her, or even come to see her two children. She felt that this was abnormal, and her two children

For the first time, I found my mother secretly wiping tears in her room. When I saw her passing by, I quickly ran away.

Later, she heard that Qian Jinzhi left the capital. When he left, Su Jinxiang and Qiu Ran came to say goodbye. She was surprised because Qian Jinzhi had not been in the capital for a long time, and Jinzhitang's business had always been very good. She knew that Qian Jinzhi had not been in the capital for a long time.

Jin Zhi has always liked Qiu Wuhen, so she followed her husband to the capital. Why did her good business close down, and when she left, she had to take Su Jinxiang and Qiu Ran with her.

Of course, she could understand what Su Jinxiang said. She also knew that no one could control her third sister, except Qian Jinzhi and Qiu Ran. Su Jinxiang liked Qiu Ran. Everyone knew that if Qiu Ran wanted to leave, she would naturally follow her.

But Qiu Ran was Qiu Wuhen's apprentice. Although she also followed Qian Jinzhi, she didn't quite believe that Qiu Ran would abandon Qiu Wuhen and follow Qian Jinzhi instead.

"What happened?" Su Jinsong wanted to calm down, so she tried to make her voice sound calmer.

"Wang Hanyu had an affair with another man and became pregnant with that man's child. The man found the Duke of Guo. The Duke of Guo was so angry that he took Wang Hanyu and the man into the palace to find the emperor. I heard that at that time, the Duke of Guo

What he said was very unpleasant. The next day, the emperor ordered that the title of the Grand Prince and Taibao be deprived of his title. And..."

As if hearing a shocking secret, Su Jinsong widened his eyes and said, "And what?"

"Furthermore, I heard that the Queen Mother heard about this and went to speak for the Duke, but was banned by the Emperor and handed over the management of the Sixth Palace to Concubine Wang."

Su Jinsong's head buzzed and he said in a trembling voice: "Wang Guifei? Is she that Wang Hanyu's aunt?"

Jin Xiyan nodded with some difficulty.

"Her niece did something embarrassing, and the emperor actually... huh? That's right!"

Su Jinsong suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked at Jin Xiyan and said, "What about the Duke?"

This is the first time in a long time that she has thought of asking her husband.

"The Emperor asked the Duke to go home and reflect, and asked him not to go to court for the time being."

Su Jinsong suddenly stopped being angry with her husband for not coming to Zhuangzi to pick her up in the past half month? Think about it? Which man was cuckolded on his head and deprived of his title by the emperor?

And then being grounded? It’s really frustrating.

"I asked him where he is now?"

Su Jinsong asked eagerly.

Jin Xiyan said: "I don't know. I haven't been here during this period, so I don't know very well."

Su Jinsong stood up and walked out the door. Jin Xiyan looked at Su Jinsong's back and did not stop her. Seeing that she almost tripped over the threshold when she went out, Su Jinsong held the door and went out.

The corners of Jin Xiyan's mouth raised slightly, and a hint of warmth overflowed from her eyes.

In the evening, Jin Xiyan returned home. When the maid saw Jin Xiyan entering her yard, she quickly came over to salute.

"Is your lord back?"

Jin Xiyan asked

"Madam is back. She is discussing matters with Mr. Wang and several other adults at the moment."

Jin Xiyan entered her room. Su Jinsong asked her to bring Mother Zhou, who was serving her personally, to Zhuangzi. Jin Xiyan trusted her very much.

"Mother Zhou, go and ask someone to bring some snacks and food to the study. If we forget about this at any time, they probably won't want it."

"Ma'am, that's what you're thinking about." Zhou's mother hurried out and gave instructions.

Lei Mu has been very busy recently. Qiu Wuhen cannot leave the house and is locked up at home. He cannot go anywhere. If Lei Mu wants to see him, he can only climb over the wall to find him in the dead of night.

Jin Xiyan knew something about them, and she often discussed countermeasures with her husband. In Lei Mu's heart, his wife was not just a woman in the inner court, she was very wise and calm, she could

He gave himself a lot of opinions, which were completely different from the two concubines in this family. Once those two women became pregnant, he never went to their yard again.

Lei Mu is a filial son. He doesn't want to disobey his mother's wishes. He knows that this will make Jin Xiyan even more embarrassed in front of her mother-in-law. They agreed not to have children for the time being and wait until they are more stable and leave the capital to find a place to settle down.

As he said, his mother was anxious to have a grandson, so after discussing with his wife, he let the two women in and let them complete their mission. Although he knew that they were also poor people, there were too many poor people in the world.

Probably because he stayed in Jinyiwei for too long. If he hadn't met Jin Xiyan, he would probably never get married in his life, because he was afraid that he would have worries and weaknesses, which would give his enemies traces, but he still didn't

Fortunately, the woman he fell in love with was not a woman like Su Jinsong. She was a woman who needed a man to protect her at all times, just like the seedlings planted in the vegetable greenhouse in Qiu Wuhen's backyard.

A woman who will live or die if there is any trouble.

Jin Xiyan is brave, independent, and has her own ideas. She knows how to be grateful and repay, but she is not a weak person. She knows what she wants. She will not look forward or backward or hesitate. When Lei Mu

When he told himself that he wanted to marry her, he was worried that his identity would scare this seemingly weak woman, but when he saw the joyful and bright smile on her face, when he heard her say to him: "I

"I've been waiting for you to say this", he knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, they would get through it together.

Jin Xiyan took a bath and then sat in front of the window reading a book. Mother Zhou came in from the door and brought a bowl of freshly stewed pear soup.

"Madam, it's such a muggy day, I'm afraid it's going to rain again." After saying that, she placed the bowl in front of Jin Xiyan's table.

Jin Xiyan's hair was not completely dry yet, so she wore it casually. She looked at the soup in the bowl that was still slightly steaming, and said: "You also said, why are you serving it to me on such a muggy day?"

I don't even want to drink something so hot."

Mother Zhou took a round fan from the side and gently fanned the wind behind Jin Xiyan.

The old slave told the kitchen that after boiling this bowl of soup, if you feel it's hot, you can put it in again, but you can't wait until it's completely cool before drinking it."

Jin Xiyan smiled and continued to read under the lamp. A purple lightning flashed not far away, followed by thunder. The thunder was very loud. Jin Xiyan was afraid of thunder since she was a child. Later, after marrying Lei Mu,

Unexpectedly, he was no longer afraid. Lei Mu often joked that because his surname was Lei, Jin Xiyan was not afraid, and Jin Xiyan kept laughing.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and a gust of wind blew the lanterns outside the door flying around. The lampshade on Jin Xiyan's table in the room was made of glass, so it was not afraid of the wind.

After Jin Xiyan read a book for a while and finished drinking the pear soup, she heard the sound of footsteps walking towards her from far to near.

Mother Zhou also put down her fan, and the weather got really cool at this time.

"I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily today." Lei Mu strode into the house. Zhou's mother stepped forward and saluted, then stepped back.

Jin Xiyan put down the book in her hand, stood up, walked to her husband, and helped him undress. He was still wearing Feiyu clothes. It seemed that he had been busy. In such a hot weather, Lei Mu still liked to wear some soft and comfortable casual clothes after returning home.

.

"Yeah, are you done?" Jin Xiyan quickly took off Lei Mu's coat, then took the regular clothes that had been placed on the hanger, and suddenly said: "How about you take a shower first?"

Lei Mu nodded and said yes, and the maid waiting outside the door quickly went to prepare hot water.

Lei Mu walked to the table, looked at the book Jin Xiyan put on the table, and said with a smile: "Does it look good?"

Jin Xiyan nodded and said: "My cousin said, let us know first. Although someone from Sister Liniang's side has already gone to prepare first, and Sister Qian and the third girl also left before us, but..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Zhou's mother saying loudly not far away: "You should be more prompt. It will rain heavily soon, which will cause trouble."

Maybe it was because the wind was too strong, and Zhou's mother was worried that the servants wouldn't be able to hear her voice, so she spoke extra loudly. It was this voice that stopped Jin Xiyan from continuing the topic just now.

By the time Lei Mu finished taking a shower and changed his clothes, he found food on the table.

"Have a drink. The weather is so cool. Why don't you have a few drinks with me?"

Jin Xiyan nodded, walked to the door and gave a few instructions. After a while, Mother Zhou personally brought the drinks, gave Jin Xiyan a reassuring look, and left.

Sure enough, after a while, the rain outside became heavier and heavier, accompanied by lightning and thunder, which was very lively.

"You have read these introductions about Shu, do you think you will like it?" Lei Mu asked his wife while drinking.

"I heard Sister Liniang talk about a lot of things over there. You know my character, so I'm actually looking forward to it, and... I also want to live a more stable life earlier." After saying that, he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Lei Mu couldn't help but smile, held his wife's hand, and said, "Don't worry, my cousin and I have made arrangements. We should be able to celebrate the New Year in Baoning Mansion this winter."

"That home..."
