Chapter 12 Fireworks
Mrs. Wang thought he had listened to her words and persuaded her: "She is not from the same group as us. Sooner or later she won't be able to stay. What kind of woman do you, the noble marquis, want?"

"Mother." Qi Cun turned his head and stared at her, with a look in his eyes that was strange even to her.

A trace of panic rose in Wang's heart, and only then did she realize that the man in front of her was not only her son, but also an evil god who killed enemies like hemp on the battlefield.

He is not the child who left home to join the army at a young age for a meager subsidy, and she has no right to meddle in his affairs.

Qi Cun grinned, and his cold and serious face turned out to be somewhat sinister: "If I can't stay, I will let her stay. In this life, she can't go anywhere except the Hou's Mansion."

His heavy footsteps gradually faded away: "I don't want to have a second time for something like this today."

Qi Cun stood on the stone steps, looking at the protruding small building under construction behind the main courtyard from a distance, and laughed softly.

Wang slumped to the ground inside the door.

When Qi Cun returned to the main courtyard, he was turned away without accident.

The maid looked troubled: "Madam said that she will take the young master to bed tonight, and the marquis should go back to the study."

Qi Cun once saw a kind of grass whose leaves would fold up if touched lightly.

He felt that Qiao Yuan was a bit like this kind of grass, with teeth and claws on the surface, and he was too ashamed to see others after being teased.

Qi Cun didn't change his face: "I'll go in and talk for a while."

Xiaoyu hurriedly stopped him: "Master Hou, don't embarrass your servant, if Madam knows, she will definitely blame her."

Qi Cun glanced at the brightly lit main room, and regretfully said, "Okay."

He was wearing a dark brocade robe, with a strong body, and the night could not hide his heroic vigor, but at this moment, he was shut out by his angry wife.

Such a good Lord Hou, my wife doesn't even cherish it.

Xiaoyu suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, and said softly: "It's getting late, Master Hou should go back to rest first. Madam is just a bit arrogant, I think I will forget about it tomorrow."

Xiaoyu put a thin layer of makeup on her face and lowered her head obediently, looking well-behaved and docile.

Qi Cun looked at Xiaoyu in silence, twirled his fingers thoughtfully, turned around and left.

In the next few days, Qi Cun changed his previous stalking, except for taking time out every morning to teach Qiao Yuan how to ride a horse, he was never seen in the afternoon.

Qiao Yuan didn't care, and didn't ask anyone to ask.

Jin Shu was a little anxious: "Ma'am, I heard from the boy in the study that Lord Hou goes out of the mansion every afternoon and only comes back after turning off the lights at night."

Xiaoyu also echoed: "I heard that there is a new oiran in Yunxilou."

"Don't talk nonsense." Jin Shu scolded.

Qiao Yuan looked unhurried, and gestured the hairpin given by Qicun today on his head, then thought of something, threw it on the table resentfully, and said stubbornly: "Master Hou has his own hairpin. If he doesn’t say anything, why should I ask about it.”

After those two dreams, Qiao Yuan thought about it for several days. Although she had decided to stay away from Gu Zhong, try to avoid the places where she met Gu Zhong in her dreams, and just maintain the friendship between childhood friends, she had no hope. He raised the case with Qi Cun.

Men are unreliable, Gu Zhong in the dream swears and finally abandons her, Qi Cun in the dream is volatile, and now Qi Cun is only interested in her skin.

As long as Qicun and Qicun can live up to their reputation, he will respect her as his legitimate wife and treat her like a guest, and reciprocate her kindness. If he wants to take a concubine in the future, she will not stop her.

This is the case with father and mother, and everyone in the aristocratic family. Even if the two parties are in love at the beginning, there will be various reasons to accept new people later.

That night, Qiao Yuan slept so soundly that he was woken up unexpectedly by someone shaking him.

She saw that face in a daze, and subconsciously looked towards the window.

Tangtang Zhen Beihou was actually a thief who climbed through the window.

Seeing that she was about to close her eyes again, Qi Cun hurriedly pushed her: "Daughter-in-law, wake up, do you want to go watch the excitement?"

Whose house is lively in the middle of the night.

Qiao Yuan put the quilt over his head angrily, and refused with practical actions.

Qi Cun was at a loss, and after a while, he leaned into her ear: "I promise to look good, daughter-in-law, if you want to walk, I will carry you."

Qiao Yuan ignored him and he kept nagging.

How can there be someone who can talk so much?

Qiao Yuan was so noisy that he sat up and stared at him.

This is promised.

Qi Cun smiled and helped her put on her clothes. Finally, he wrapped her in a cloak and carried her away.

Qiao Yuan tossed along with him, closing his eyes all the way, only remembering getting into the carriage, and then being carried for a while.

The road was steady and not bumpy at all, and Qiao Yuan slowly fell asleep again.

Qi Cun looked at his sleeping daughter-in-law in his arms, two red clouds appeared on his beautiful face, he didn't even know if he had been betrayed.

He couldn't help but tighten his arms, and when he reached his destination, he gently coaxed: "My wife, we're here."

Qiao Yuan only felt the breeze blowing by. She slowly opened her eyes and found that she was in the wild.

She straightened up slowly and looked around. This was a hillside, and Qi Cun was sitting in a pavilion holding her in his arms.

Qiao Yuan was wrapped in a thick cloak and nestled in Qi Cun's arms. It was not cold, but it was hard not to wake up when someone woke him up in the middle of the night.

"Woke me up in the middle of the night to blow the cold wind?"

It's quiet here, there's no sound of people, not to mention there's a lot of excitement to watch.

Qi Cun comforted her: "Don't worry, it will start right away."

His forehead was pressed against hers, and his focused black eyes reflected her snow-white face.

Qiao Yuan snorted, looking like if I'm not satisfied, I'll see how you end up.

But Qi Cun loved her delicate look, with a smile in his eyes.

Everything was quiet except for the intertwined breathing of the two people.

Qiao Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and she was about to push him away when she suddenly heard movement in the distance.

A bang came from the top of the mountain, and the next moment, Qiao Yuan's ears were covered.

A huge firework bloomed in front of the eyes, cutting through the black sky and illuminating the entire mountain.

Golden rays of light exploded from the center, scattered everywhere in the mountain.

Under such huge and splendid fireworks, human existence feels so insignificant, and the figure of the two cuddling together is like a dream.

For a moment, Qiao Yuan didn't know where she was at a loss, but felt a ball of fire against her back.

The fireworks slowly dissipated.

Qiao Yuan was brought back to his senses by the rapid panting behind him, and his slack pupils gradually focused.

Qi Cun's hot body was close to hers, and he breathlessly smiled in her ear: "Daughter-in-law, isn't this fun nice?"

The delicate flowers in the greenhouse have never seen such a massive battle.

Qiao Yuan murmured: "You've been out of the house for the past few days, is this what you're doing?"

Qi Cun laughed, his warm breath on the back of her neck.

"The army will enter the capital tomorrow. I choose this time to tell everyone in the capital that Qiao Yuan's husband, Qicun, Marquis of Zhenbei—is back."

In the future, if anyone doesn't have eyes, don't blame him for having no eyes.

Qiao Yuan was startled, she thought he really didn't care about those rumors.

If a man doesn't care about his wife having scandals with other men, it means that the man doesn't like his wife.

She used to think that Qi Cun was like this.

Unexpectedly, under his calm appearance, he had already had this idea.

Qiao Yuan couldn't tell how she felt now. Did Qi Cun like her, or was it just a man's possessiveness?
She was a little lost.

Qi Cun saw that his daughter-in-law didn't speak, and he didn't care, he just hugged her tightly: "I will go back to the military camp in the next few days, if there are too many things to do, I may not go back to the Hou's residence."

Little by little he told her his schedule.

Qiao Yuan asked subconsciously: "Then who will teach me how to ride a horse?"

After these few days of study, she can only drive the pony two steps at most, and she dare not even walk a circle.

Someone said that he was teaching her, but in fact he was riding two laps with her.

Qiao Yuan volunteered to ride alone, but he refused, fearing that something would happen to her if she rode alone.

It reminded Qiao Yuan that when the child of the fourth uncle's family was just learning to walk, the fourth aunt could not let go of her hand for a moment, for fear that the child would fall if she let go.

With such a teacher at the booth, it is still early for Qiao Yuan to learn how to ride a horse.

Qiao Yuan's eyes were resentful: "Do you know how to teach?"

She only thought that he didn't know how to teach, and she never thought that Qi Cun did it on purpose.

Qi Cun was stunned for a moment, "It's okay. I'm just busy these days during the handover. I'll be fine when I get some free time."

Qiao Yuan pouted, and reluctantly agreed.

Qi Cun was afraid that the little ancestor would be unhappy, so he racked his brains to think of a few jokes, which made her frown.
