The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 181: Nothing like previous years

Xiao Yi was a little disappointed, but he finally had a reason to ask her to come over next time. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, I'll see Mrs. Xu off."

Xiao Huaian immediately pestered Xu Jing to see her off. Xu Jing was helpless and could only let the father and son deliver her to the back door.

Before leaving, Xiao Yi suddenly called her and said, "If you want to go out recently, be careful."

Xu Jing thought he was worried about what the King Xing faction would do to her, so she nodded and said, "I know."

"It's not just people from the Xingwang Sect," Xiao Yi paused and said in a deep voice: "Since the Smiling Killer appeared again, he has killed someone every six months. The last time he killed someone was already in January."

Xu Jing was stunned and immediately understood what he meant.

It's early August now, and according to the frequency of killings by the Smiling Killer, he should have taken action long ago.

If he commits another crime, it will probably be within the next few days.

The expression on Xu Jing's face became serious unconsciously, and she said, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Xiao, for reminding me."

After speaking, he got into the carriage.

After Xu Jing left, both father and son stood in silence for a moment. Suddenly, Xiao Yi felt a soft little hand slip into his hand like a fish, holding two of his fingers. Yi lowered his head unconsciously, and saw a little kid looking at him with a kind of pity that he couldn't understand, and said solemnly: "Dad, I will stay with you!"

If he misses her, he can go live with her, hold her in his arms, and sleep in the same bed with her.

If dad misses grandma, he can't do anything.

Alas, his father is so pitiful, that’s all, he should just be a little patient and stay with his father for two more days!
On the other side, Xu Jing was so anxious to go home because she hadn't finished the comfrey ointment she promised Mrs. Cen to make for her tomorrow. Fortunately, she had all the ingredients and preliminary preparations, and she only needed to complete the last few steps when she went back. Just one step.

She made a total of four jars of Lithospermum ointment this time. Mrs. Cen must try this Lithospermum ointment before deciding whether to order it. It is useless for her to make too many at this stage.

The next day, she took the prepared Lithospermum ointment and went to Zhao's house.

When she went, Zhao Shaohua was also there, obviously waiting for her here specially.

Mrs. Cen took Xu Jing's hand affectionately and said with a smile: "Shaohua told me everything you did at Huaiyin Marquis Mansion a few days ago. Dr. Xu really gives me new surprises every day."

Zhao Shaohua said with a smile: "Yes, aunt, I was still thinking yesterday that a talented woman like Dr. Xu will never know what man is worthy of her in the future."

A flash of regret flashed deep in Mrs. Cen's eyes. No matter how talented Dr. Xu was, she was still a woman with an obscure family background and living alone outside. Just because of her family background, it was impossible to marry into any prominent family.

Mrs. Cen did not care about Dr. Xu Jing's identity. On the contrary, she admired this independent and self-reliant woman very much. However, she had to say that many men could not accept their wives showing their faces outside. For this reason alone, she wanted to It is also difficult to marry into an ordinary family.

This world is so harsh on women, not to mention that the atmosphere in Da Chu is already more open compared to the previous dynasty.

What's more, she has been wearing a veil, and I don't know if it is inconvenient to show her face...

Mrs. Cen thought like this, looking at Xu Jing with even more pity in her eyes. Zhao Shaohua suddenly said: "It won't be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the city is lively. Many ladies and gentlemen will take to the streets. Doctor Xu said that that day Do you want to go to the streets with me and take a look? Maybe you can meet Dr. Xu’s ideal husband!"

Xu Jing was slightly stunned, it was almost the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Time flies so fast, it was still April when she first came here.

Mrs. Cen immediately glared at Zhao Shaohua, "You are just playful, don't drag Dr. Xu around." Zhao Shaohua curled his lips in a naive manner, his face full of coquettishness that only a pampered little daughter can have.

Xu Jing smiled and said: "Besides, I'm not sure if anything will happen that day."

The few chatted for a while, and Mrs. Cen said that she would try Xu Jing's Lithospermum ointment first, and then tell Xu Jing how many jars to order in two days, and Xu Jing left.

On the way back home, Xu Jing couldn't help but think of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the past. Since her grandfather passed away, she spent the Mid-Autumn Festival alone every year. Gradually, she became less sensitive to this festival and often It was only when I saw that every shopping mall was offering mooncake promotions that I realized that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She leaned against the wall of the carriage and closed her eyes slightly.

The little one will definitely spend the rare Mid-Autumn Festival with Xiao Yi.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is still the same as in previous years for her.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped suddenly, Xu Jing suddenly opened her eyes and raised her voice: "But what happened?"

"Ms. Xu," the coachman's slightly tight voice came, "someone is stopping the car."

After a pause, he added: "It's Mr. Sanlang of Wushun Hou Mansion."

Xu Jing was stunned, and her face suddenly darkened.

Wu Youbing?What does he want to do?
Her mind turned around quickly. In the past two days, she had assigned Cheng Xianbai a lot of homework, so she went to Zhao's house alone these two times.

She could only open the car door by herself, walked out, looked at Wu Youbing with two servants in front of her, and said quietly: "I wonder why Wu Sanlang wants to see me?"

Wu Youbing's face was very strange, as if he couldn't believe it, but also seemed incomprehensible. He stared at Xu Jing closely for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "Are you really Xu Siniang?!"

Xu Jing raised her eyebrows slightly.

From Wu Youbing's reaction, she instantly saw many things——

First, he did not know her identity before.

Second, he was very surprised by her identity. This is not surprising. Everyone who knew that she was Xu Siniang would be shocked by her change. But judging from his shock, it was obvious that he had just learned about her identity not long ago. , judging from Wu Youbing's restless temper, he probably came to block her as soon as he knew her identity.

Xu Jing quickly came to a conclusion. She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly and said with a bit of sarcasm: "Xu Ya told you? Did you just meet Xu Ya?"

Xu Jing's reaction undoubtedly admitted her identity. Wu Youbing's eyes suddenly widened and he said angrily: "You woman, you have been hiding this from me, but you have been watching my jokes in your heart!"

When he thought that in the Wang family's village, she had seen him in the embarrassment of being wronged and pretended to speak for him, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone.

It was his fault that she spoke for him and consciously found a confidante who understood him from the bottom of his heart. He also thought that if she was not ugly, he would find a way to take her home!
Unexpectedly, Xu Sanniang found him today and told him that she was the bitch who regretted her marriage back then. Why shouldn't he be angry?

The more Wu Youbing thought about it, the more he couldn't bear the tone in his heart. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and grabbed Xu Jing fiercely.
