His fingers, which had already slowly recovered a little warmth in his palm, suddenly became colder the moment he heard this sentence.
I felt a jerk in my heart and suddenly pulled my hand out of his hand.
His hand was still holding my hand just now, and after a while he slowly let go, he looked up at me, and said, "As long as he passes Cangzhou, the capital will not be far away."
“…”
"You will see everyone you want to meet soon."
“…”
At this time, Xie Feng's voice sounded outside the door.
"Young Master."
Pei Yuanxiu slowly put his hand down, without looking back, just said, "Hmm?"
"The Song family has come and invited people."
"Okay, tell them, I'll go down now."
Xie Feng responded and left. I looked at him in surprise. He said, "I want to go out today, so you can stay here. You can walk around the inn, but don't stay outside for too long. It's cold and it's easy to get cold."
I subconsciously frowned: "Are you going to Cangzhou?"
"Um."
Although he answered calmly, he knew from his eyes that he could no longer ask. He came here like this, just to remind me not to think randomly, so I didn't say much. After hearing his instructions for me, he watched him leave the room.
When he opened the window again, he saw a carriage parked below. He quickly got on the carriage. Xie Feng rode his horse next to him and walked north with a team of people.
As soon as they left, the inn became much quieter.
I kept standing by the window, watching their figures disappear on the vast snow field, and then pushed the door out. As soon as I opened the door, I actually saw Hua Zhu sitting on the small stool at the door holding her sword. When I saw me out, I immediately stood up nervously: "Miss Yan, is there anything wrong?"
Let her see me.
In fact, in this place, I have fewer opportunities to show than when I was in Huai'an, not to mention the vast snowfield. Even if I can really escape, if there is no help from me, I will not be able to go far with the child in my stomach. So Pei Yuanxiu and Xie Feng were able to let me stay here with a little confidence.
But I also know that if it were not for the last resort, he would not leave me easily or leave me alone.
From last night, the Cui family and the Song family came to visit with full arms, to early this morning, Pei Yuanxiu's men transferred troops, and now, they were walking alone towards Cangzhou, there is a fact that they almost understood that the situation in Cangzhou is not simple, at least not as smooth as any place before.
I just don't know what exactly.
Seeing Hua Zhu standing up nervously at me, I said lightly: "I want to eat something."
"What Miss Yan wants to eat, I'll let the kitchen do it."
"I think--"
Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs. When he looked up, he found that it was Xiaolian who was holding Han Ruoshi and slowly walked towards him.
Now, her belly is not revealed, but she already looks like a pregnant woman in her posture. She is supported by someone in her movements. She even thrust her waist slightly forward when she walks. One hand supports her waist, and Xiaolian on the other side is supporting her arm. When she walks over, even if there are only two people, she looks amazing.
However, what surprised me even more was that when they saw me, they not only did not avoid me, but instead walked over directly.
These days, they have obviously avoided me the most, just as if I was emitting some unknown aura. Even if I got closer, I was worried about getting involved.
Why did you come upstairs on the stairs today?
I was wondering, and the two of them had really come over, but before they could get close enough, Hua Zhu turned around and stopped him in the corridor: "What are you going to do?"
Xiaolian's face immediately sank: "What are you doing? Who are you talking to?"
Hua Zhu immediately said, "Madam, forgive me for your sins."
Although she was talking about "forgiveness", her stereotyped attitude had no intention of disturbing her at all.
Han Ruoshi's rosy face turned out to be not very good, but she also waved her hand in a generous manner and said, "Go aside, my wife is here to find Miss Yan," and said, crossing Hua Zhu's shoulder and looking at me: "I have something to say to Miss Yan."
“…”
This surprised me a little.
They used to hide from me and mice, but now Pei Yuanxiu has left, she has "delivered to the door" herself.
Could it be that she has any other means to use it against me at this time?
Just as I was about to say something, Hua Zhu immediately said, "No, you can't go there."
Han Ruoshi's brow frowned suddenly: "What?"
Hua Zhu said: "Just just now, the young master and the master explained that you can't come up, let alone get close to Miss Yan's room."
Han Ruoshi's face suddenly sank.
Xiaolian's face became even more ugly: "You're talking nonsense!"
"I didn't say nonsense. If you don't believe it, you can just ask when the young master and the master come back later."
"I--" Xiaolian's tongue hardened, and she immediately pointed at Hua Zhu and cursed: "What's so great about you? Just one word, you will take the chicken feathers as a command arrow?!"
Hua Zhu is young and has never experienced these situations. She just gritted her teeth and said, "I don't care about these, I just care about them-"
"Hua Zhu," I stood behind her and spoke. Hua Zhu immediately turned around and said, "Since Madam is here, don't stop me."
Hua Zhu said, "No, both the master and the young master have explained it."
“…”
"If I don't obey, the master said that I will punish me when I come back."
Xiaolian said angrily: "You are not afraid of your wife punishing you!"
Hua Zhu looked back at her: "This, please give me a gift, madam."
For people like her, no matter what means Han Ruoshi is, she is not good at using Xie Feng's apprentice, let alone Hua Zhu's martial arts cultivation, even if Xiaolian and the others really fight, there are not many people who dare to fight.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, now I am staying in this inn, and no news can be transmitted. I have no room for display. Han Ruoshi came to me abnormally. He probably had something to say, or in other words, I also have some opportunity to get some outside news, and I can consider how to go next.
Hua Zhu's stubbornness makes me feel a little difficult to deal with.
I thought about it and said, "Okay, madam, please go there."
Han Ruoshi frowned and said, "I'll go to your room."
This time, Hua Zhu was stupid: "Ah?"
I smiled and said, "They just asked you to keep here and not let someone come up, and didn't say you wouldn't let me go down and have you?"
“…”
"If you are worried, you can stay below."
“…”
"By the way, I still want to eat something, you can go to the kitchen to pass on a message."
Hua Zhu really had no choice but to escort me downstairs and called the servants from the inn to come and explain the food to deliver them. She stood at Han Ruoshi's door.
And I followed Han Ruoshi in, and Xiaolian was also left outside by her.
This room is similar to the furnishings of my room above. There is also a table and two chairs in the center of the room. I naturally walked over and occupied a chair, then looked up and said to her, "Mrs. Is there no tea here?"
After hearing what I said, her face froze.
Xiaolian was outside, and the room was hers. When I asked this, she could only do it herself, took the cup and poured me half a cup of tea, pushed it in front of me, and I took it and saw her put the teapot aside.
I said, "Madam, don't you drink it yourself?"
She reluctantly moved the corner of her mouth and made a smile: "I'm not thirsty."
It seems that he is really careful.
It was obviously the tea in my room, but because of my arrival, I didn't even dare to drink a sip. This feeling probably made her a little aggrieved. She sat on another chair and looked at me with the armrest on one side.
I pinched the teacup in my hand and took a small sip.
This calmness made her cautious look so ridiculous. Even if she was so calm, her face couldn't help but pale. As if to restore the decline, she smiled and said softly: "I've been on the road these days, and I don't have the chance to meet Miss Yan honestly."
I looked at her with a smile: "Madam wants to meet me honestly?"
"Actually, there was a misunderstanding between Ms. Yan and I wanted to explain it clearly, but because of the rush, I had no chance."
“…”
"Take advantage of today, Yuan Xiu went to Cangzhou to do business. I want to resolve the misunderstanding between us."
"Oh? What's the misunderstanding?"
"It was that time, Huai'an."
"Oh, you mean, are you searching for those medicinal materials in Huai'an?"
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, looked up at me, and said with a smile: "Miss Yan, don't be surprised. In fact, at that time, I just told the servants to go to the city to find some medicinal herbs for pregnancy maintenance, not for anything else, but for the child in my stomach."
"oh……"
"You also know that Yuan Xiu and I have been married for so long. Because I am in poor health, I have never been able to give birth to a child for him. In fact, I was always a little anxious. I finally knew that I was pregnant, but he happened to have a situation where Miss Yan was held hostage by those troublemakers. In order not to disturb his heart, I could only hold it in my mouth. Who knew that those servants were ignorant, and I just asked them to find some medicinal materials. They searched all the medicinal materials in Huai'an with great fanfare, which caused that misunderstanding."
I smiled and said, "That's why the wife teaches her well on weekdays, so they do their best to do their work."
"It's not that I taught me well," she smiled faintly: "They are just looking at the future of this child and know that they can't be neglected."
“…”
As soon as these words were said, the smile on her face became more meaningful.
I looked up at her: "Oh...?"
