The wife of the power minister's family

Xiao Yi paused briefly and said quietly: "There is no special reason. It was just that a servant in the kitchen forgot to extinguish the fire in the stove, which caused the fire."

Xu Jing was slightly stunned.

Such a coincidence?
Moreover, Xiao Yi's pause just now made people somewhat concerned.

Is it really that simple, or is it inconvenient to tell her the cause of the fire for some reason?
Xu Jing couldn't help but look at the man in front of her, but Xiao Yi picked up Xiao Huaian and said with a faint smile: "Go in first, it's not good to stand here all the time."

After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the house.

Xu Jing had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being and followed him, looking at the man next to her from the corner of her eye as she walked.

Xiao Yi felt her gaze, turned his head to look at her, raised his eyebrows and said: "I will go to Master Wen's class soon. It will take about an hour."

Xu Jing immediately understood what he meant and looked at Xiao Huaian in his arms, "Changxiao, do you want to stay with dad at home tonight, or go back with me? If you go back with me, I will wait for you to go back together after class. , okay?"

Xiao Huaian has felt that his old father is pitiful since just now. During this period, he rarely saw his father. He couldn't help blurting out, "I will stay here to accompany my father tonight!"

Xu Jing and Xiao Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Ever since Xu Jing came to Xijing, this little guy has always chosen Xu Jing unwaveringly, as if his old father did not exist. This is the first time he has chosen Xiao Yi so firmly like now.

Xiao Huaian suddenly thought of something and struggled slightly, "Dad is injured and can't hold me. I can just walk by myself."

Xiao Yi always respects every decision of this little guy. Hearing this, he glanced down at him and put the little guy down. "Daddy's injury is fine, but I can walk by myself if I want to."

After Xiao Huaian got off the ground, he immediately held Xu Jing's hand with one hand, and still held Xiao Yi's hand with the other hand. He raised his head and looked at Xu Jing eagerly and said: "Auntie, I'm staying with daddy tonight, but... Mom, can you wait until I finish class?"

Although he wanted to accompany his father, he still couldn't bear to leave his mother.

He was so afraid that when he came out after class, his mother would be gone.

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, curled her lips helplessly, and said, "Okay, I'll wait until you finish class before leaving."

She originally thought that if the little one stayed here, she would go back after visiting the doctor. It would be awkward for her to stay here for a long time in her status, not to mention she had a lot of things to do.

But looking at the little one's longing eyes, she couldn't say no as always.

Xiao Huaian was satisfied then, and he was beaming. He held Xu Jing in one hand and Xiao Yi in the other, and skipped inside. He didn't reluctantly let go of his father until he reached the place where Xianyun was going to take him to class. Grandma's hand.

Xianyun looked back crazily while leading Xiao Huaian away quickly.

What does Xiaolangjun know?

If he continues to stay there, it will ruin the scenery. At this rare time, Madam Xu and Mr. Xu should be alone together!

After Xu Jing and Xiao Yi watched Xiao Huaian leave, Xu Jing just wanted Xiao Yi to ignore her and just leave her aside and just do his own thing, but Xiao Yi was already leading the way, saying: "Mrs. Xu, this side."

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, then followed, and saw Xiao Yi taking her to the pavilion where they had dinner and drinks with the Holy Master some time ago.

The tea sets were already set up in the pavilion. When Xu Jing saw the tea sets, she immediately thought of the snacks she bought and said, "By the way, I bought some snacks from Sheng Meizhai for you. I heard that the snacks from Sheng Meizhai are the best in Xijing." of."

He never mentioned that the little one said that his father didn't like sweets.

Anyway, hey, I got what I wanted.

Xiao Yi sat down in his seat, glanced at Xu Jing when he heard this, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Ms. Xu is interested." Today he was wearing a homely moon-white robe with large sleeves embroidered with silver. His hair was still meticulous, and he only used A wooden hairpin in the shape of an auspicious cloud was fixed casually, giving him a sense of wandering clouds and wild cranes. Coupled with the faint smile at the corner of his mouth, he really looked a bit like the banished immortal who did not care about worldly affairs.

Strange, did Xiao Yi like to laugh so much before?She still remembered the first time she saw him, his brows were furrowed, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and he exuded a cold and solemn aura, making him very difficult to approach.

Now, the aura around him seems to be much softer. Is it because of the injury?
Xu Jing sat down opposite him, thought for a while and said, "Is your injury okay? How many days of leave has the Holy One granted you?"

Xiao Yi's tea-making hand paused slightly.

He had just said that the injury on his arm was not serious, but the only thing she was asking about now was the injury on his back.

He knew that she had been to Zhao's house the day before yesterday, and the injury on his back was probably what Chang Yu, that talkative boy, told her.

He said softly: "It's not a big deal. They made a fuss about it and insisted that I rest at home for seven days."

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, "I didn't expect that the Holy Emperor would be quite considerate of the officials under his command. I heard Zhao Liulang say that you went to deal with the weapons depot some time ago, but have you finished it?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I just dealt with two of them, and we were ambushed by them. Leave the rest to Xiao He, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come back so early."

Yes, he had only been out for seven or eight days before. The four armories were definitely not in the same place. It was impossible to deal with all the armories in seven or eight days.

Xu Jing remembered what Zhao Jingming said and couldn't help but said: "I heard Zhao Liulang say that you had joined the army before, but I didn't expect it. Fortunately, Dachu is still at peace now."

Xiao Yi was slightly stunned.

That kid even said this.

He poured a cup of brewed tea and placed it in front of Xu Jing. He seemed to think of the wars and chaos and blood flowing everywhere. His face was slightly solemn and he said: "Indeed, when I was a child, I often heard my grandfather say that the dynasty was in turmoil, and the most pitiful thing was The common people, however, have no choice but to choose what era they live in.

I didn't understand the meaning of my grandfather's words at first. It wasn't until I experienced the war that I realized how precious the health of my family and country is. "

Xu Jing looked at the man in front of her unconsciously, feeling that his whole aura seemed to have changed when he said these words.

She was inexplicably curious, why didn't he continue to develop in the army instead of taking the imperial examination?

However, this is Xiao Yi's private matter, and it doesn't seem right for her to ask casually.

Just when Xu Jing was a little confused, an attendant suddenly came over and saluted: "Mr. Lang, someone from Dali Temple just came and sent over all the files on the case of the Smiling Killer."

Hearing a familiar word, Xu Jing looked over in surprise.

Xiao Yi still looked indifferent, picked up the cup and took a sip, and said: "Well, move all the files to my study."

"Yes!"

Seeing the attendant leaving, Xu Jing couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi.

Seeing the uncontrollable agitation in the woman's eyes, Xiao Yi smiled quietly. What attracted the woman's attention most was the case. He took the initiative and said: "Because of Wang Wuniang's case, the Holy Father also paid attention to the case of the Smiling Killer. When he got up, he questioned Dali Temple during the morning court a few days ago, saying that this case had such a bad impact and why it could not be solved for so many years. Dali Temple was already having a lot of headaches about this case, so through the Holy Emperor's questioning, he said that I was involved in Wang Wuniang's involvement. This case is somewhat related to the Smiling Killer case, so the ball was passed to me."

Xu Jing was dumbfounded. Could this be considered a reason? !

However, what surprised her even more was another thing, "Are you really going next?"
