The wife of the power minister's family

Chapter 49: It’s so exciting to follow Mrs. Xu (first update)
The summer rain came quickly and urgently, but not long after noon, the sky became dark as if it was about to collapse at any time.

The morgue is not far from the gate of the county government. Xu Jing and Xiao Yi were walking in the rain holding an oil-paper umbrella. In their ears, they could only hear the sound of rain and the pattering of raindrops on the umbrella. At a certain moment, you will suddenly feel like you are walking alone in this world.

Xu Jing looked at the rain curtain in front of her in a daze, and suddenly heard the man beside her say in a deep voice: "I will go to your house after I let Chen Hu finish the handover work later. There will be another guard with Chen Hu." Go there together with Hu, and let them stay at your house until the case is solved. You can just give them a room to sleep in.

After you finish drawing the set of tools you said you wanted to build today, you can ask Chen Hu to send them over.

I also arranged for someone to come over to the Cheng brothers and sisters. "

Xu Jing was stunned and turned to look at the man beside her.

His back was straight and he walked calmly in the heavy rain. The expression on his face was as calm as ever. The wind and rain in the sky seemed to be affected by his temperament and quietly became calm.

Xu Jing knew that he was fulfilling his promise to keep her and the Cheng siblings safe, but what he said was, "Will the county government reimburse their daily expenses?"

Xiao Yi didn't seem to expect that this was what Xu Jing asked. He turned around and looked at her in shock. After a moment of silence, he nodded, "Of course, Madam Xu can write down all their daily expenses and reimburse them when the time comes." .”

Xu Jing couldn't help but smile softly, "Just kidding, I can still afford the food for the two of them, as long as their demands are not too excessive."

Xiao Yi pondered for a moment, then said: "I was not joking just now. Madam Xu helped us a lot in this case. If Madam Xu wants any reward, she can also put it forward."

Xu Jing couldn't help but raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at the man beside her, and heard him say quietly: "I said that I will do my best not to let Madam Xu suffer, and I don't like to owe anyone favors."

Xu Jing blinked. She thought that his previous words were just casual remarks.

However, the benefits brought to his door should not be wasted. Xu Jing was not polite to him and said something that she had wanted to do since she came to this world, "I heard that every word of Xiao Shilang's words is worth a thousand pieces of gold. I don't know." Maybe Mr. Xiao will give me one as a gift?"

Xiao Yi was startled and frowned slightly, "You want it?"

No matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem like someone who would have any thoughts about his words.

"No," Xu Jing said very honestly: "I think that if I can't live any longer, selling it would be a good choice."

Xiao Yi: "..."

Although he doesn't think his handwriting is anything special, when others ask him for his pen and ink, they usually take it back and keep it.

This was the first time someone wanted to sell his words.

Even if Xiao Yi thought that he was not a Confucian scholar who prided himself on elegance and looked down on the mentality of these common people, he couldn't help but stiffen, took a breath, and said in a deep voice: "None of my words are for sale."

Xu Jing more or less guessed this result, curled her lips and muttered: "Stingy."

Her voice was very low, but unfortunately, Xiao Yi had good ears, so he still heard her even though there was the sound of rain falling between them.

He was speechless for a moment.

It seemed that after this woman changed, he could no longer understand what was going on in her mind.

He sighed secretly and said in a deep voice: "Except for this one, Madam Xu can think about what kind of reward she wants."

As soon as he finished speaking, the woman next to him suddenly raised her head and smiled at him. Her eyes seemed to be filled with starlight for an instant, and she said, "Speaking of which, there is really one thing. I hope Minister Xiao can help."

Xiao Yi forgot how to speak for a moment.

Looking at the bright eyes in front of him, his heartbeat was like the messy raindrops outside the umbrella, which became messy at a certain moment.

He frowned slightly and pressed his chest calmly.

Could it be that you have been too tired recently and have something wrong with your body?
He calmed down and said, "Mrs. Xu, please speak."

At this moment, they had arrived at the gate of the county government. Chunyang and Cheng Qingqing were both standing under the eaves. Chunyang kept looking around with his feet on his feet. When he saw Xu Jing, he immediately raised his hands excitedly and said, "Mrs. , this way! This way!" Xu Jing's attention was immediately attracted by them. When she saw Cheng Qingqing found her and Xiao Yi walking together, with her mouth wide open in a daze, she couldn't help but curled her lips, and quickly He said to the man next to him: "This matter is not urgent. When I ask Chen Hu to send the design drawings to Xiao Shilang later, I will let him tell Xiao Shilang about it."

After saying that, he lifted up his skirt and trotted under the eaves, leaving light ripples on the ground one after another.

Chunyang immediately came to Xu Jing's side. While checking whether Xu Jing was wet, he looked at Xiao Yi who was standing not far away with some surprise.

Why was it Mr. Xiao who escorted his wife out?
Between Xiao Shilang and his wife, what is going on now... now?

Cheng Qingqing couldn't help but hold Xu Jing's wrist and stammered: "Jing...Sister Jing, you and Xiao Shilang..."

"I've been helping Mr. Xiao do something recently, so there's some overlap."

Xu Jing explained briefly and asked: "Where is your brother?"

Cheng Qingqing's attention was immediately diverted, and she said a little stupidly: "Brother said it was raining, so he went to find a carriage."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sound of horse hooves and wheels not far away, and then Cheng Xianbai's voice came through the rain curtain, "Qingqing, Madam Xu, come here! Let's go back together!"

Xu Jing was willing, but although the carriage called by Cheng Xianbai stopped at the gate of the county government, it was still some distance away from the gate of the county government.

And the three of them now only have one umbrella, and that umbrella doesn't belong to Xu Jing.

At this moment, Xiao Yi, who had been silent, said softly: "Ms. Xu, please take the umbrella first. If it's not enough, I have another one in my hand."

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled faintly at him and said, "Thank you, Minister Xiao. This umbrella is enough for me. Minister Xiao can keep that umbrella for himself."

After saying that, she asked Chunyang to hold the umbrella and sent her to the carriage first, and then went back to pick up Cheng Qingqing.

Chunyang was the last one to enter the carriage. She carefully put away the rain-stained umbrella, looked through the window at the tall figure still standing in the rain curtain, and suddenly looked at Xu Jing with a complicated expression. , "Madam..."

Xu Jing knew what she wanted to say, and said quietly: "You don't have to think too much, I just asked Mr. Xiao to provide us with some protection before this case is over."

Cheng Xianbai, who had been peeking at Xu Jing, heard this and immediately sat up straight in surprise, "Protect?"

Xu Jing briefly told them everything except her autopsy, including the fact that someone would go to their house to protect them later.

The Cheng brothers and sisters looked stunned when they heard this. Cheng Xianbai couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch his face hard.

Damn, it hurts!
So, they were really... being targeted by a vicious murderer?
Following Mrs. Xu is so exciting, you can really encounter any weird and weird things...

Cheng Qingqing couldn't help but said worriedly: "Sister Jing, are we going to hold the free clinic in two days?"

If the murderer targeted them because they overshadowed him, the free clinic in two days would only be more sensational than the rumors about Sister Jing a few days ago.

Xu Jing couldn't help but feel warm in her heart, glanced at Cheng Qingqing, and said decisively: "Yes, I'll ask Mr. Xiao to send someone to protect us, because we don't want our free clinic to be delayed because of this kind of person.

Now that the news of the free clinic has spread, people all over the county are waiting to see how our free clinic is going. If we back down this time, it will only become a joke, and it will only be harder than before! "

What happened to Cheng Qingqing this time was ultimately because of her.

She did not blame her for this, but was worried about the free clinic in two days. Xu Jing said in her heart that it was impossible to be moved.

Xu Jing raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said, "Don't worry, I said I would revive the reputation of your Xinglin Hall, and I will never break my promise."

Soon, the day came for them to hold a free clinic.

Even though she was mentally prepared, Xu Jing couldn't help but be surprised when she arrived at Xinglin Hall.
