My wife has a secret

Chapter 55 You Sleep on the Floor
Lu Wanhe's delicate body trembled, and her pink lips opened and closed slightly.

After a while, she came to her senses and whispered, "Husband, weapons are not ordinary things."

"This batch of weapons originally belonged to the Huangling Border Army, but was stolen by the White Lotus Sect and hidden there."

"understood."

After listening to Xu Qing's explanation, Lu Wanhe gradually felt relieved.

"But it's still not appropriate for me to come forward about this matter. There are many eyes watching me out there."

After experiencing the gambling house and the refugees, Xu Qing realized a problem.

That is, the White Lotus Sect is by no means an ordinary civilian organization. They have many informants and form a huge and meticulous intelligence network.

Even if it was a family letter received in the backyard of the Xu Mansion, the White Lotus Sect could find out the content and infer the time of Shen's return.

This shows that the White Lotus Sect is omnipresent and is very likely to have infiltrated the backyard of the Xu Mansion.

"Don't worry, husband."

Although Lu Wanhe's appearance is delicate and adorable, there is an indescribable seriousness in her eyes.

"I have already told Captain Shan of the Zhennan Zhongwu Army that he will be waiting for you at the back door of Xu's house at dawn tomorrow. You will take Ji Xia with him and will be taken to the place where the weapons are hidden... Speaking of which, you are familiar with that place, it is the residence of Master Liu."

Lu Wanhe subconsciously tightened her skirt around her knees, causing her body to tremble slightly.

"What happened to Uncle Liu?"

Lu Wanhe's face was full of worry. She bit her thin lips and thought of a possibility.

"Was Uncle Liu targeted by the White Lotus Sect? That's why..."

The woman's intuition was sharp, but Xu Qing shook her head and did not tell her the truth.

"It was an accident, don't think too much about it."

"I, okay..."

Lu Wanhe knew that she did not know martial arts and was not as capable as the sisters in the main and fourth courtyards, so she listened to Xu Qing's words and did not ask any further questions about the matter.

My husband has been busy enough these days, and I can't cause him more trouble.

Xu Qing casually asked, "Let me ask you another question. Does Master Liu have small feet?"

Lu Wanhe shook his head, indicating that he couldn't remember clearly.

Ji Xia, who was standing next to him, suddenly remembered and continued, "Yes, that Master Liu was born with bound feet and was not good at walking... When he and the master came to visit the young lady, I prepared wooden shoes of normal size for him, but he threw them away several times."

After Ji Xia's reminder, Lu Wanhe was reminded of his childhood and smiled knowingly.

She was still very young at that time and was often held in the arms of the enthusiastic Uncle Liu.

Even if it was raining or snowing, Uncle Liu would take her to places she wanted to go to make her happy.

But Lu Wanhe felt something was wrong and asked in confusion, "How did my husband know that Master Liu has small feet?"

"I met with a colleague who worked with Master Liu before and asked him some questions."

Lu Wanhe did not doubt him and said, "If he is an acquaintance of Uncle Liu, Wanhe would like to come and thank him."

"sure."

Xu Qing laughed, said goodbye to the master and servant and went back.

After obtaining this crucial information, he became more certain of his guess.

……

Xu Qing returned to his own yard and soon discovered something strange.

That was the sound of young girls laughing and playing coming from the courtyard.

"It sounds like Pansi Cave."

As soon as Xu Qing opened the gate, he saw Qin Shuying sitting on a stone bench. She had changed into a gorgeous and complicated pleated skirt, with her hair tied up in a bun and surrounded by pearls and jade.

The delicate combination highlights her figure, making it look curvy and graceful, showing her elegance and grace.

Xiaohuan and two maids from the fourth courtyard sat nearby, eating snacks on the table while listening to the fourth young lady telling interesting stories.

The door creaked, and several maids stood up hurriedly and stepped aside in an orderly manner.

"Hello, Master."

Qin Shuying smiled, finished the last melon seed in her hand, and slowly stood up and saluted.

"Hello, my husband... I was bored, so I asked them to sit down and keep me company."

Xu Qing didn't look at her, but glanced at Xiaohuan.

"Xiao Huan, who asked you to open the door for them?"

"Slave..."

Xiaohuan lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly into the young master's eyes, her face flushed.

The Fourth Young Lady came to visit for the first time, so Xiaohuan didn't think much about it and opened the door.

But who would have thought that the Fourth Young Mistress would actually order Yang Liu and Cui'er to bring in mattresses and spare clothes, preparing to live in the Young Master's yard for a long time.

She is just a servant, how dare she ask questions of her masters?
Qin Shuying smiled slightly and said, "That's what Sister Shen and the old lady wanted. They said that the young master is not young anymore and it's time for him to leave a descendant for the Xu family."

Xu Qing knew the old lady's desire for a great-grandson and realized that Qin Shuying was not lying.

But what puzzled him was why they had to send the fourth wife? As the legal wife, didn't Shen have the responsibility to carry on the family line?
There was another reason that made Xu Qing feel indignant.

Through the contact in recent days, he gradually found that he had some feelings for Lu Wanhe, even though the two of them had not made any substantial progress yet.

Qin Shuying looked at Xu Qing quietly, as if she knew what he was thinking, and said softly: "Sister Shen is often on the road, so she is not suitable for taking care of the baby. Sister Lu is weak and needs to take medicine for a while."

Xu Qing thought for a long time but couldn't find a suitable excuse.

Shen Shuangxu and Lu Wanhe had very good reasons, and this was something the old lady had personally ordered, so they couldn't really refuse.

Seeing that Xu Qing was hesitant to speak and walked into the house without saying a word, Qin Shuying knew that he had given up resistance and acquiesced to the matter.

"If you don't have anything to do tonight, just go back to the house and rest."

"Yes."

The three maids were arranged in the next ear room. Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment before she reacted and responded.

Xiaohuan knew that it was natural for the young master to sleep with the young ladies, but when such a thing really happened before her eyes, she still felt a little lost.

Qin Shuying dismissed the maid, carefully closed the door and bolted it.

"Husband, it's not dark yet, how about we sit on the bed and talk for a while?"

Xu Qing showed no interest in her proposal. Instead, he threw the mattress that the maid from the fourth courtyard had brought in onto the floor and said, "From today on, you sleep on the floor and I sleep on the bed."

Qin Shuying stood there in a daze, feeling completely incredulous.

If it weren't for her personal experience in the car today, she almost thought Xu Qing was impotent and a living eunuch.

According to what she had in mind, even if Xu Qing would not accept her so early, the two of them would at most sleep in separate beds and would not get to this point.

How could he be so cruel as to let his frail wife sleep on the ground?
"you……"

"You're not calling me husband anymore? Are you showing your true colors?"

Xu Qing took advantage of the moment when Qin Shuying frowned and bit her lips, and said calmly: "If you can't accept it, just go back to the Fourth Hospital, so you don't have to suffer."
