Chapter 239 Suspicion
'Chi Ning' still didn't raise his head, but sat down, making a weak voice.

"Just a little tired, I don't like this place."

Cui Xingjue immediately felt guilty in his heart, and the bowl in his hands tightened a bit. "Sorry for making you suffer with me."

'Chi Ning' seemed to be shaking her head in a voiceless manner, twisting her hands hidden under her sleeves in extreme anxiety, trying to urge Cui Xingjue to drink the porridge quickly, but she was afraid of arousing suspicion.

Seeing that 'Chi Ning' was silent, Cui Xingjue thought she wasn't used to the current residence, so he could only say this: "I won't let you live like this forever."

This is a promise he made to Chi Ning. Looking back carefully on this period of time, after she married him, she didn't enjoy a peaceful life for a day, and she felt even more ashamed.

'Chi Ning' couldn't listen to what Cui Xingjue said at all, but was anxious why he hadn't finished his porridge yet.

When Cui Xingjue was about to say something, the others put down their work and gathered around the dining table. The big guys were brought here early in the morning, almost without a drop of water. Now it's noon, and after working all morning I'm so hungry that my chest sticks to my back.

Seeing too many people, Cui Xingjue could only put down his words first.

The two families gathered around a small broken table to eat, Cui Ruoxuan and Cui Yixuan kept away from 'Chi Ning' very discerningly, instead of trying to fight for the position next to 'Chi Ning' as usual, and Cui Ming decided not to Knowing the changes of 'Chi Ning', she is still complacent about finally being able to sit next to 'Chi Ning'.

"Sister, I want to eat green vegetables." Cui Mingjue said softly, the vegetables were right in front of him, but he was still sweet and coquettish, with an innocent smile on his round face.

'Chi Ning' remained silent for a while, eating the meat dishes on the plate while paying attention to Cui Xingjue's eating situation. Seeing that he finally drank the first mouthful of porridge, her high-pitched heart finally fell to the ground.

Being ignored, Cui Mingjue grabbed the sleeve of 'Chi Ning' and shook it. "Sister, I want to eat green vegetables, sister will pick it up for me!"

'Chi Ning' who was following Cui Xingjue had no choice but to look away, and glanced at Cui Mingjue in boredom. Resisting the urge to slap off her little hands on her sleeves, she stretched her chopsticks towards the vegetables and swept away most of the vegetables on the plate. Put it in Cui Mingjue's bowl.

"Hurry up and eat!" After picking up the food, she grabbed the little hand on the sleeve.

Cui Mingjue stared at the sharp green vegetables in the bowl, feeling a little silly.

It was only then that Cui Xingjue noticed the strangeness of 'Chi Ning'. He knew that his younger brother was just trying to act like a baby, but he didn't expect that 'Chi Ning' would be so perfunctory with children, so he couldn't help but look more at the person who kept his head down.

Recalling the fact that the shackles were untied and sent to eat, he knew it was Chi Feng or Feng Shengheng without guessing.

'Chi Ning' saw them just now?
Did they tell about 'Chi Ning'?
Cui Xingjue was suspicious, his eyes were deep like drops of ink, filled with black mist.

Originally, Cui Xingjue wanted to have a private chat with 'Chi Ning' after lunch, but unfortunately, he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. As soon as they finished their lunch, officers and soldiers came. They seemed to be living under the surveillance of others.

Several people were assigned to work, even the three little dolls were asked to work in Fangxu's workshop.

'Chi Ning' was in a see-saw mood between unhappiness and happiness. Unhappiness was because she was assigned to do laundry, and happiness was because Cui Xingjue drank the porridge she had drugged. One big step, all she needs to do now is to wait for the drug to take effect, so that she can find a chance to search for the golden treasure map.

"Miss Chi, please come here." When they came to the starch washing place, the officers and soldiers did not force 'Chi Ning' to work, but respectfully invited 'Chi Ning' to the table and chairs under the tree. Kind of melon and fruit snacks.

'Chi Ning' looked at it and guessed that it should be Feng Shengheng's order. She felt warm in her heart and looked forward to the day when she and Feng Shengheng returned to the capital.
