The whole family went crazy after reading my mind, and I became a favorite after eating melons

Chapter 40 Escape from battle

[It’s hard for me to live this long, and I don’t want to die out of nowhere! 】

Xu Zhiyan's mind was filled with thoughts that it was all over.

Xu Yanqing held her hand with his backhand, rubbed the back of her hand a few times, and brought her back from her thoughts, "Don't be nervous, there must be a way."

What could Hua Rong do? Her mind was full of confusion now. She couldn't figure out why he could come back quietly when he clearly sent people to keep an eye on Xu Ziying.

"Zi Ying, did you come back to do it for justice, or for some other reason?"

The way she spoke in a deep voice made Xu Ziying feel frightened, and his eyes averted for a moment, "I have my own affairs, so don't worry about it."

Hua Rong laughed angrily.

"It's your own business. Did you sneak back this time?"

"Xu Ziying, how old are you? As an official and a father, can you be more responsible for what you do?"

"It was you who asked to go to deal with the disaster. I advised you to shame me, but now you have run away before the matter is finished."

"I don't believe you don't know how serious the disaster area is now. Everyone has great expectations for you, the officers and soldiers who deal with the disaster. If you run away at this juncture, you will not only ruin your own reputation, but also implicate the entire family!"

She spoke very quickly, but her words were very clear. Each word was like an awl stabbing into Xu Ziying's heart, making him anxious and raising her voice so high.

"What do you know!"

Hua Rong quickly cut off the conversation.

"Yes, I really don't know what you are thinking. I only know that your move will kill us!"

"A woman is a woman, and she is less courageous than an ant. I was very careful when I came back. I was not discovered. Even if I was discovered, the worst case scenario would be that I came back for some reason."

Xu Ziying finished speaking nonchalantly and ran away quickly as if he was afraid that Hua Rong would continue to talk about him.

Hua Rong looked at the direction he was leaving with a gloomy face, knowing that no matter what he said at this time, he would not listen, so he simply stopped chasing him and summoned his confidants to start giving instructions on how to deal with the matter.

But paper can never keep fire. As soon as she finished giving instructions, Xiaoye came over in a hurry.

"Madam, there are rumors outside that the Lord is back. They even swore that the Lord escaped from the battle. It won't take long for the news to reach the palace!"

The news spread so quickly, and it was obvious that someone was behind it. Hua Rong closed his eyes and let out a long sigh. He quickly reorganized the solution in his mind. When he opened his eyes again, he recounted it clearly and clearly, even sorting out the important points.

But there are always idiots who make trouble - Xu Ziying spoke up without permission and claimed that he came back to visit because his wife and daughter were sick and anxious.

Hua Rong couldn't hold back any longer, so he raised his hand and swung the ornaments beside him to the ground.

The crisp cracking sound made people feel nervous.

Xu Zhiyan hugged Xu Yanqing directly and burrowed into his arms like a burrowing mole. Xu Yanqing couldn't stand it any longer. He put one arm around her to prevent her from falling and the other hand against her forehead.

"Don't drill it, auntie. Your brother, I am made of flesh. If you drill it again, it will wear out."

Xu Zhiyan calmed down a little, but still huddled in his arms, looking at Hua Rong with only one pair of eyes, and said in a small voice, "Brother, do you think Mom will be so angry that she will fight with Dad?"

[She should be able to fight. After all, I and my mother just attended the banquet yesterday. They were in good condition with the naked eye, and there were no signs of illness. As far as I know, the late mother and the others just suffered from a serious illness a few days ago. I can't even get out of bed now. 】

From this point of view, everyone with a discerning eye knows who he came back for.

Hua Rong, who vaguely heard these words, suddenly became even more angry. He really had the urge to rush over and slap Xu Ziying a few times, but he didn't need her to go over, and he rushed back aggressively. He gave her a scolding when he saw her.

"Why don't you just stay at home and read and play chess all day long? If you go out to attend a banquet, are you afraid that others won't recognize you? Do you know how much trouble you have caused me by going out to attend banquets?"

This skill of knocking down a rake really opened Hua Rong's eyes.

Suddenly I couldn't bear it anymore.

"Xu Ziying, did you think before you spoke? If we don't go to banquets and socialize, you won't be able to go smoothly when doing things outside, and you may even run into trouble. Besides, you brought your own troubles on yourself!"

"Come back privately and respond to the voices outside without asking a word."

"Xu Ziying, I am your wife, not your servant. I can always wipe your butt and be beaten and scolded as you like. Anyway, you have a great idea. You can handle this matter by yourself and I won't interfere."

Hua Rong was really angry. He didn't want to see Xu Ziying's unhappy face again, so he turned around and walked inside.

"Xiaoye, please get the adults out."

"Yes."

She said she was asking for help, but in fact it was no different than rushing. Xu Ziying jumped angrily and said harshly that he would never come to her for help.

Hua Rong listened to this and snorted coldly, not wanting to pay attention to him. At the same time, he kept walking towards Xu Zhiyan. When he saw her huddled in Xu Yanqing's arms like a little quail, the anger around him suddenly dissipated a lot, and he held her gently with both hands. She rubbed her little face gently.

"Nanny, you're not afraid, it's okay."

Sensing that Xu Zhiyan's mood had stabilized, she picked her up and Xu Yanqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, what are we going to do next?"

He is almost ten years old and is not a fool, so he naturally understands the seriousness of this matter.

Hua Rong touched his head.

"Don't be afraid, my mother is here."

Hua Rong said she didn't care about him, but this matter was such a big deal that she couldn't let go completely. She had to do something.

She knew that Xu Ziying would sneak back. Even if she sent people to keep an eye on him, she never put all her eggs in one basket. She also sent people to secretly prepare an extra supply of supplies, just to avoid having to keep an eye on him. , allowing him to have an escape route after running back.

"Xiao Qing, I have to go out now. Do you and Nannan want to go out with me?"

The two of them naturally agreed, but they didn't expect that she would take them to Wan Niang's house. Without waiting for the concierge to inform her, she directly sent someone to kick the door open and walked in through the front door, until they met Wan Niang who came out in a hurry.

The evening mother looked haggard.

"What are you going to do!"

"This mansion belongs to the Xu family. As the mistress of the Xu family, is there anything wrong with me coming to inspect it?"

"It's you, Lin Wanniang. I let you go for so many years, not because I was wary of you, but because I thought you were not worthy of me. But now you actually call Xu Ziying back at this juncture."

"I don't believe you don't know the seriousness of this matter, so I'll take you to our Xu family today to explore the way to the underworld!"

"Hit me!"

The servants rushed forward, and Lin Wanniang's beauty turned pale. She kept stepping back but tripped.
