Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 60
The next day, early in the morning.

Dong Mansion.

The back hall of the West Court.

This is also the "restaurant" of Dong's mansion.

Today, Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuzhen arrived very early. Their father-in-law and Dong Shuyu had not arrived yet, so they arrived first, which was unprecedented.

Because under normal circumstances, the two young couples are the latest to come.

"Husband, I am...a little scared. Do you think dad will find us?"

Dong Shuzhen lost the "arrogance" of the past, her neck was a little stiff, and she was half-shrinking.

Her big eyes were black and white, round, with a little fear, and she glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan from time to time.

Zhu Xiuyuan laughed dumbly.

Because Dong Shuzhen said this for the fifth time on her way from the east courtyard to the back hall of the west courtyard.

Obviously, this little lady who is "unafraid of nothing but heaven and earth" is afraid that her father-in-law will discover her little secret and confine her at home...

"Don't be afraid!"

Zhu Xiuyuan touched Dong Shuzhen's head.

Dong Shuzhen's head lowered slightly, her big eyes rolled up, staring at Zhu Xiuyuan's hand, blankly, this feeling...

It's like touching a puppy's head.

"Madam, you have to act more naturally. Well... just treat this trip to the Yamen as a shopping trip..."

"Come on, follow me and take a deep breath, inhale-exhale, inhale-exhale, inhale-exhale... Madam, are you feeling better?"

Zhu Xiuyuan tried his best to "enlighten" her.

"Husband, I feel...much better!"

Dong Shuzhen followed Zhu Xiuyuan's example and after taking a few deep breaths, her mood calmed down a lot.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan said that she had not completely relaxed yet, and was obviously no longer as lively as before. It seemed that the "Daddy Fear" cast on her had not completely dissipated.

So Zhu Xiuyuan asked again: "Madam, when we eat later, you should stop talking and just concentrate on eating and drinking, so as not to show your flaws and let your father-in-law see the problem."

"Well! I see!"

Dong Shuzhen nodded heavily.

She stared at Zhu Xiuyuan with her big eyes for a while, then withdrew her gaze and sat obediently on her chair——

He stared down at the small piece of tabletop in front of him.

From now on, she will enter a state of "not talking, just eating and drinking"...

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and shook his head.

Taking another look at the entire back hall, it seemed... It was too early today, and my father-in-law and Dong Shuyu hadn't arrived yet.

……

The father-in-law swallowed the last piece of steamed bun and drank the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl. After putting down the porridge bowl, he couldn't help but glance at his little daughter.

During the meal just now, Dong Cheng noticed something was wrong.

Only then did he realize that his little daughter, who was usually too lively, was actually very well-behaved today, sitting there eating silently.

Not a word was said from beginning to end!

Dong Cheng turned his eyes and glanced at his eldest daughter Dong Shuyu next to him, comparing the two...

Dong Cheng was immediately relieved. This naughty little daughter had finally grown up and looked like a lady...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Dong Cheng looked at the pair of daughters and felt extremely happy. He actually put his hands in his hands and burst into laughter.

Zhu Xiuyuan and Dong Shuyu both turned to look at him, not knowing why.

Dong Shuzhen also clearly shrank her neck and lowered her head even further.

"Dad...what happy thing did you think of?" Dong Shuyu asked. "Oh...it's okay. By the way, dear son-in-law, I will go change my clothes first, and then wait for you at the door of the house. After you finish eating, you should change your clothes and go out early, so as not to miss the Yamen office."

"Yes, father-in-law!" Zhu Xiuyuan stood up and said, cupping his hands.

Dong Cheng nodded, waved his broad sleeves, and turned to leave...

However, as soon as he took a step, he suddenly remembered something and turned around again.

And looking at his little daughter Dong Shuzhen, he nodded happily and shouted: "Zhen'er!"

"Ah! Daddy!"

Dong Shuzhen was so frightened that she shivered.

The small body seemed to be equipped with springs, and it jumped up directly from the chair.

He lowered his head and wrung his hands, his body swaying slightly, as if he had made a big mistake and knew he could not be forgiven, waiting to be criticized.

Zhu Xiuyuan held his forehead, this little lady must be too afraid of her father-in-law!
Dong Cheng raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect his youngest daughter's reaction to be so... strange!
He couldn't help but frown and reflect on himself. Could it be that the words he just called his little daughter were too harsh?

It shouldn't be!

Dong Cheng didn't go into details.

He just smiled and said: "Zhen'er, you should stay well at home and don't run around and act like a fool. If you have time, just become a female celebrity. Look at you, you've grown so big and you can't even fit a sole out of your shoe." ...Ahem..."

Dong Cheng glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan with a slightly embarrassed look, probably meaning: "Xian son-in-law, you have been wronged."

"Or just read a book!"

Dong Cheng didn't dare to say anything this time, lest he unintentionally expose his youngest daughter's "old background" and make her virtuous son-in-law dislike her.

"Got it, Daddy."

Dong Shuzhen seemed to have remembered Zhu Xiuyuan's words and overcame some psychological barriers. There was no loophole in her answer.

"Yes." Dong Cheng nodded with satisfaction and turned back to his room to change clothes.

Dong Shuzhen was obviously relieved, but as soon as the breath was released, she almost fell over...

Fortunately, there was a chair behind her, and she sat down on it... perfectly resolving the embarrassment.

He didn't show any flaws in front of Dong Shuyu.

However, with Dong Shuyu's intelligence, he had already noticed the abnormality of his little sister.

It is said that an eldest sister is like a mother. She knows Dong Shuzhen's personality so well. If anything goes wrong, there must be a monster!

Dong Shuyu glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan again, and now her little sister had a husband... Therefore, the idea of ​​exploring her little sister's unusual thoughts immediately faded away in her heart.

"Xiuyuan arrived at the Yamen for the first time yesterday. Did it go well?" Dong Shuyu asked casually.

"It went very smoothly. Those subordinate officials...are all old men with low hands like my father-in-law, and they take good care of me..."

"As long as it goes well, then... I'll go to the tea house first, and you guys can eat slowly."

Dong Shuyu Gujing glanced at Zhu Xiuyuan calmly, got up and left.

……

"Husband, let's go back and change clothes!"

Dong Shuzhen had been resurrected with full health, so she pulled Zhu Xiuyuan and ran away, as if she was afraid that Zhu Xiuyuan would leave her and go to the Yamen alone.

Excitement and seriousness intertwined on her face, making Zhu Xiuyuan want to laugh.

"Slow down, slow down..."

However, when Dong Shuzhen pulled her, Zhu Xiuyuan stopped laughing.

Because his body is too weak.

Dong Shuzhen, who has practiced Kung Fu, although she is much smaller than Zhu Xiuyuan, can actually pull Zhu Xiuyuan away easily...

"It seems that the physical training plan must start. Although it may not necessarily reach the level of a martial arts practitioner, it should be similar to that of a normal person..." Zhu Xiuyuan silently made up his mind.
