After waking up from the dream, the general's wife lost her love brain

Chapter 40 Punishment
Even after such a long time, it has not returned to its normal appearance, and it is so rosy that one can tell at a glance what kind of treatment it has suffered.

Qi Cun felt a little hot in his heart, and before Qiao Yuan recovered, he boldly kissed him.

The little beauty pushed him away angrily.

Qi Cun didn't care, and the messenger came in.

As soon as the maid put down the water, Qi Cun asked them to go out, and then took the little beauty up to wash up.

Qiao Yuan rinsed her mouth with fragrant salt, and as soon as she took a sip of water, Qi Cun raised the bowl to her lips.

Careful and thoughtful, not fake at the hands of the staff, seems to enjoy it.

Qiao Yuan didn't notice for a moment, but she saw Qi Cun coming out with a pomegranate skirt, his eyes were eager to move, and he obviously wanted to help her change clothes.

Qiao Yuan couldn't bear it anymore: "Get out."

Qi Cun looked away regretfully and went out angrily.

Jin Shu came in and helped Qiao Yuan to change clothes behind the screen, not daring to take a second look during the process.

When Madam was brought back by the Marquis, she was still slightly worried.

Men's bad nature has always been like this. My wife has been missing for two days, so it's hard to guarantee whether Master Hou will have a lump in his heart.

Now that she saw these traces on Madam's body, the anger she had been holding in her heart finally let go.

She has grown up with Qiao Yuan since she was a child, so she naturally hopes that she and her husband will be well.

Qiao Yuan's face turned red, and she could hardly imagine what the maids outside would think of her.

It’s all Qi Cun’s fault.

In particular, there is a huge bathtub behind the screen.

Qiao Yuan glanced at the end of his eyes inadvertently, and the memory of last night suddenly surfaced, his face flushed suddenly.

There are still some wet water stains around the tub.

It was too late last night, Qiao Yuan couldn't keep his eyes open, so Qi Cun didn't ask anyone to come in to clean up.

Packed up, and finally delivered lunch.

Qi Cun kept picking up vegetables for Qiao Yuan, and stretched out the chopsticks that had picked up the vegetables, trying to feed her.

The maids covered their mouths and snickered.

Is it over yet?
The blush on Qiao Yuan's face never disappeared, and he gave Qi Cun a vicious look before he finally calmed down.

A bowl of egg custard was served, mixed with brown sugar water and sprinkled with some sesame seeds.

Looking very appetizing.

Qiao Yuan paused with his chopsticks and turned to other cuisines.

Jin Shu hurriedly persuaded, "Madam, this is for body repair."

Qiao Yuan was stunned for a moment, feeling ashamed and angry, and said fiercely: "I won't eat it."

Qi Cun didn't understand this. He only heard that it was good for the body and said anxiously: "Since it's for the body, my wife, you can just eat it."

Qiao Yuan bit her lip, looked at the instigator in front of her, and suddenly smiled: "Since that's the case, Jin Shu, order the small kitchen to make ten more bowls."

Jin Shu was stunned: "Yes."

Qi Cunzheng was happy that Qiao Yuan listened to his advice, but he was a little worried: "Ten bowls, isn't it too much? Wife, can you eat it?"

After a while, ten bowls of egg custard were neatly placed in front of Qi Cun.

Qiao Yuan put down the soup in his hand, and slightly wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Since it's for your body, my husband is too tired to come here for the next few days, so let's make up for it." Qiao Yuan gritted his teeth faintly at the end of his speech.

Facing the squeamish little daughter-in-law, Qi Cun didn't dare to speak louder. Now, he can only respond silently.

……

Qicun's previous blockade of the city gate caused uproar in the city, but he did not publicize Qiao Yuan's disappearance widely, but used the reason to catch the thief.

Although the Gu family was far away in Suzhou, they had heard about what Gu Zhong was doing, but they still let it go.

In any case, it is only the woman who suffers, and for the man, it is just an extra romantic affair.

It won't affect his care, and he will come back naturally when he gets tired of it.

But he didn't expect that after Qiao Yuan had returned to Zhenbei Hou Mansion, there was still no news about Gu Zhong, and the Gu family was dumbfounded.

When Qiao Yuan was being helped to eat in the courtyard after lunch, she heard that someone from the Gu family was coming.

Qi Cun had asked someone to bring a soft couch out before, fearing that Qiao Yuan would be tired from walking.

Qiao Yuan was lying on the soft couch at the moment, and said softly: "Since you're here, let's wait, anyway, there will be no time wasted."

The concierge took the message and then withdrew.

Zhenbei Houfu Gate.

The servant made an edit: "Ma'am has already taken a nap, and she will wake up about an hour later. Housekeeper Gu, look..."

Housekeeper Gu walked towards a sedan chair with a embarrassed face, and reported to the people inside: "Madam, the concierge boy said that the Zhenbeihou's residence will take an hour to see the guests."

Mrs. Gu in the sedan chair was extremely anxious, twisted and twisted the handkerchief in her hand, and said with restraint: "Then wait for an hour."

The sun was rising, even though Mrs. Gu was not feeling well sitting in the sedan chair, she finally made it to the end of the day.

When the housekeeper came back, he hesitated and said in an awkward tone: "Madam, the concierge said that... without greetings in advance, the Zhenbei Hou Mansion will not see guests."

Mrs. Gu completely ignored etiquette and shouted loudly: "What?" "

Mrs. Gu was furious in the sedan chair, but she was helpless. Zhenbei Hou Mansion was not a place for her to act wild. No matter what, she could only follow other people's rules.

After walking back to Zhong's mansion, he ordered: "Please send me a message to Uncle Chang Ning's Mansion and let me know that the Gu family will come to visit you tomorrow."

About dinner time, the servants reported that Chang Ning's Mansion declined visitors. Mrs. Qiao had been suffering from wind disease recently and it was inconvenient to entertain guests.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu anxiously asked Father Gu, "What should we do?"

Father Gu pondered: "Don't panic, I have already asked Mr. An of the Ministry of Punishment."

Not long after, a letter was brought to the two elders of the Gu family.

The content on the envelope was credible, but Mrs. Gu fainted after exclaiming, and Father Gu also lost his original composure.

This letter was sent by Mr. An.

The letter described in detail the gambling house that Gu Zhong was involved in. Gu Zhong had already been convicted and dismissed from his post, but he wanted to be holy and exempted from prison, but it affected the three clans. .

The letter vaguely mentioned that Gu Zhong's whereabouts were unknown, and advised the two of them to stop pursuing the matter and return to Suzhou safely.

Father Gu held the letter in his hand and read it several times, as if carefully confirming the authenticity of the content in the letter.

After a long time, it seemed as if he had made up his mind.

After changing into simple clothes, he led the young man and hurried out.

The direction was towards the Second Prince's Mansion, which was three or four streets away.

At the same time, on the Xiangjiang River.

As night falls, there are several brightly lit boats floating on the river. The dark river water is almost illuminated, and the faint sound of bamboo silk can be heard in the distance.

On a gorgeous ship, a maid in uniform brought dishes and knocked on the door.

It was quiet inside.

The maid watched her nose, nose, and heart. After staying on the boat for a long time, she met more noble people, so she naturally saw a lot of things.

Today, the entire ship was chartered by a nobleman. This was the first time they saw such a wealthy man. They were amazed and served him more cautiously.

If a nobleman of this status collides somewhere, they can't afford it.

Therefore, even if there was no movement in the room, she did not dare to act rashly.
