Xu Wenlan thought of his old man only after Jing Bingwen mentioned this. He had been living in a state of anxiety these days, and Master Xu's life was no better than him.
Xiao Mubai just said that he would go to Xiao Zimu for help.
"I have to go back quickly!" Xu Wenlan hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.
"Shall I see you off?" Bingwen smiled and stood motionless.
"No, no, no, just go about your business." Xu Wenlan waved his hand, opened the door and walked out quickly. He didn't notice that Bingwen hadn't moved a step, and he had no intention of actually seeing him off...
Bingwen looked at his leaving back, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually disappeared.
His expression darkened. What made Xiao Mubai so eager to leave must be something happened to Xia Chu in Dali Temple.
He stepped out of the room and hurried to Wentian Pavilion with Jiewu...
At the same time, Xiao Mubai was listening to Kong Changhui's thrilling explanation. When he heard Xiao Yanjun threatening to pry off Xia Chuya, Kong Changhui sneezed inexplicably.
He was busy blowing his nose, but he didn't see the cold light in Xiao Mubai's eyes, which was shockingly severe.
When he went on to talk heartily about how Concubine Qi had arrived in time and slapped Xiao Yanjun twice, and clapped her hands to applaud her, the corners of Xiao Mubai's mouth curved slightly.
Kong Changhui felt that the coolness around him suddenly subsided, and he loosened the cloak that he had just tightened.
When he had finished speaking, Shi Shi also arrived. Xiao Mubai waved his hand, and Kong Changhui stepped back wisely.
Xiao Mubai walked gently to the door, leaned against the wall, and looked quietly at Xia Chu lying on the quilt inside, with her long legs resting on the wall, turning the book in her hand, and mouthing He was humming a song and it was obvious that he was in a great mood.
Until Xia Chu fumbled for the tea cup with his backhand, suddenly a hand stretched out and handed the cup that he had never touched to his hand.
Xia Chu was stunned for a moment, and his body froze. He raised his head and looked back with all his strength, and suddenly stood up excitedly. He forgot that the cup was still in his hand. Come on, not even a drop was spilled.
"Why are you here!" Xia Chu walked to the bed with a happy smile on his face.
Xiao Mubai opened his arms, and she jumped directly into his arms with a slight leap, wrapping her legs around his waist.
If Xu Wenlan saw this scene, he would probably be heartbroken...
Xiao Mubai weighed the weight and curled his lips: "Kong Changhui served you well, give him a credit."
Xia Chu put her hands around his neck, rubbed the tip of his nose and shook her head: "That won't work. He even blocked it for me and made me vomit blood. At least he can do it one more time."
Xiao Mubai put one hand around her waist, used his free hand to pinch her face, and said with an endearing smile: "It's up to you."
Xia Chu pretended to be pinched by him and groaned twice, then fluttered to come down.
Xiao Mubai took her two steps and put her on the quilt. He picked up the shoes under the bed and put them on for her. He muttered: "If I see you running around without shoes again, I will …”
"What do you want?" Xia Chu lowered his head and put his face close to her.
Xiao Mubai looked at a pair of starry eyes close at hand, his Adam's apple rolling. It was not until he saw an unfamiliar face reflected in her pupils that he came back to his senses. He coughed lightly, pulled up her shoes for her and stood up: " I’ll just hold you and go.”
After saying that, he pretended to give her a vicious look: "Don't even think about going to the ground by yourself."
Xia Chu's face was filled with halo and her cheeks were flushed. She poured him a cup of tea and handed it to him without looking for trouble: "Try it."
"I've smelled this familiar and fragrant fruity aroma for a long time." Xiao Mubai reached out to take it and smiled slyly at her: "You've done your homework well. You know our mother-in-law likes to drink it for a long time."
"I didn't learn this because Concubine Qi is your mother-in-law." Xia Chu raised his head and said confidently.
"Even the taste and heat are exactly the same, how dare you say it's not?" Xiao Mubai took a sip. He didn't like to drink half-mountain. In the past, he only tasted it for the sake of his mother and concubine.
Later, the mother and concubine probably figured it out and never cooked for him again.
Xia Chu pointed at him and was angry, but couldn't argue.
She couldn't tell Xiao Mubai that she had learned it early, when she wouldn't know where she was...
Seeing her face turn red, Xiao Mubai thought she was shy, so he reached out and touched her head, and said with emotion: "You took my sister's heart away at the beginning of the year, and again in the middle of the year. I hold my sincerity in my hands, I never expected that even my mother and concubine could not escape your clutches, and our entire family has been brought to disaster by you."
Xia Chu was stunned for a moment by what he said. Thinking about it carefully, that's really what happened...
When she heard the word "mother and concubine", she suddenly thought of something. She stood up, grabbed Xiao Mubai's hand and said urgently: "Quickly, Concubine Qi has left a secret guard named Jiang Ge with me. Please let me know quickly." He goes back..."
Xiao Mubai calmly pulled her down and raised his eyebrows: "I asked him to go back a long time ago."
Xia Chu felt relieved and saw Xiao Mubai coming forward: "Although I received news from the palace early in the morning that my mother and concubine get along very well with you, I never expected that she would be so good to you. Not only did I leave the secret guard to you, but yesterday, I also went to the Qingxin Palace to beg my father for you."
Although Xiao Mubai has changed his appearance now and is no longer as handsome as before, his pair of phoenix eyes filled with affection still made Xia Chu unable to help but feel his breath stagnate and his mind become drunk.
Until I heard him say that Concubine Qi went to Qingxin Hall to beg the emperor, her pupils suddenly shrank, her face was shocked, and her heart was shaken.
Xiao Mubai said it in an understatement. He had not told Xia Chu about the knot between his father and his mother. He had also lightly mentioned Pang Weiguang before.
Therefore, he didn't know that Xia Chu felt extremely deep inside.
Xia Chu knew that Concubine Qi had a problem with the emperor, although she didn't know the specific reason in her previous life.
However, she often went to Yongxin Palace to accompany her. The Emperor and Concubine Qi were incompatible with each other. Xia Chu could naturally see that. She did not expect that Concubine Qi, who was arrogant and arrogant, would go to Qingxin Palace to plead for her. The emperor is willing to bow his head.
"Your mother-in-law, she is very good to me..." Xia Chu's nose became sore again.
No matter in the previous life or in this life, Concubine Qi was extremely kind to her.
But, this life is getting better.
Perhaps she was still concerned about her status as a princess in her previous life. Although Concubine Qi was very kind to her, she also restrained herself.
In this life, Xia Chu not only realized the goodness, but also felt it for the first time today, what is maternal love...
Xiao Mubai gently tapped her forehead and reprimanded in a feigned anger tone: "That's not my mother-in-law, that's our mother-in-law..."
