the first lady

Chapter 36

"Well, okay, let's go back to the mansion first!" Sima Yue was a little careless, but secretly observed his son and daughter-in-law. Although the two married according to the order, but now it seems that they don't have any feelings at all!
When they returned to Zongzheng's house, except for Zongzheng Yi and Sima Yue, everyone else had a sullen expression.

After Zongzheng Yi handed over the custom-made jewelry to his mother, she couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear, but she still rushed her son and daughter-in-law to the room to apply medicine.

Ningxiang and Lanfeng were going to follow, but Sima Yue held them back, letting his son and daughter-in-law cultivate their "emotions".

"My lord..." Yue Ying finally spoke after hesitating all the way.

Zong Zhengyi stopped in his footsteps, but he didn't turn his face to look at Yueying.

"Yue Ying, you go down first!" Zong Zhengyi said flatly, without saying any accusations.

"My lord, Yue Ying didn't listen to your order to save the young lady, and asked you to punish me!" Yue Ying knelt down with a plop, her face full of sincerity.

Qiao Ling'er turned around to look at Yueying, she knew that Yueying didn't like her, and she didn't like him either.Between her and Zong Zhengyi, as a subordinate, he chose his master without hesitation!

"Yueying, I have said since the day you and I were together that what I need is a subordinate who can win my heart." Zong Zhengyi turned around and said flatly, with a flat voice, but with a sternness that cannot be ignored .

"My lord, I beg you to give this subordinate another chance." Moon Shadow begged with a suppressed voice.

"Yue Ying, you've been by my side for so many years, I thought you were the one who knew me best." Zong Zhengyi said softly.

There was no scolding, no lesson, but it made Yueying feel more sad than being beaten with a hundred sticks.He naturally knew who the master was, and he chose to save his master without hesitation at that time, and he had expected such a time, but when the master didn't even have a word to scold him, he was even more afraid Is it true that I can no longer stay by the young master's side?

"Young master, this subordinate would rather die than leave you half a step away." Yueying kowtowed heavily.

Zong Zhengyi frowned slightly, before he was about to say something, Qiao Linger had already spoken first.

"Sanggong, he did this for your own good, how can you blame him?" Qiao Ling'er said with a light smile.

"Linger?" Zong Zhengyi turned his head to look at Qiao Linger, his brows became more and more tangled.

Qiao Linger's smile deepened, "You should feel lucky to have such a loyal subordinate. You can't blame him just because he didn't save me as you said. You know, you are his real My master, if anything happens to you because you saved me, it would be his dereliction of duty as a subordinate."

Yue Ying looked up at Qiao Ling'er puzzled, why would she speak for him?

And Qiao Linger seemed to have seen through Yueying's mind, turned to him and said: "Yueying, I am not pleading for you, but stating a fact. If you don't save me, I won't be angry, and I don't care if you don't want to see me. Today is a choice between the two. I can understand that you choose your master. If one day you can save me and not save me, then I will agree with Xianggong to let you go, because at that time, I think you are no longer qualified Stay by your side!"

Qiao Linger's words were not loud, but it made Yueying feel ashamed. He admitted that he was really narrow-minded at that time.Qiao Linger didn't specify what she said, but she believed that Yueying was a smart person, and he could understand what she said.

She, Qiao Ling'er, does not think she is a person with airs, and now she will not force others in this capacity, but this does not mean that she is confused, she must speak clearly.

"Sister, go back to your room first, your injury needs to be treated." Qiao Ling'er didn't wait for Yue Ying to speak, and walked to the room with Zong Zhengyi on her arm.

Zong Zhengyi still paused for a while, and said to Yueying: "Yueying, go to the Dharma hall by yourself, and don't make an example!"

Yueying was stunned when he heard that, then kowtowed heavily, and said, "Thank you, young master!"

After finding out the Jinchuang medicine and cloth strips, Qiao Ling'er carefully removed the temporary hemostatic silk from Zongzhengyi's wound. It took a long time, and the blood that stuck to his clothes also stuck.

"Wait a minute, I want to help you clean the wound." Qiao Ling'er went outside after saying that, and came back after a while with a pot of wine.There is no alcohol here, so we have to use purer wine.

However, Zongzheng Yi had already cut off the half of the torn clothes with scissors, revealing a part of his arm with some hideous wounds.

"Just let me come." Qiao Ling'er frowned and stepped forward.

"Just take some medicine." Zong Zhengyi glanced at the jug Qiao Linger brought, and smiled.

"Medicine needs to be applied, but the blood near the wound must be disposed of, right?" Qiao Linger asked, dipping her hands in some wine, carefully wiped the blood stains near the wound, and said: "The wound is not suitable It touches water, so I use wine, if it accidentally touches it, it may hurt, so bear with it."

Qiao Ling'er lowered her head and concentrated on cleaning the wound and applying medicine, all actions were almost done in one go.

Although the wound was not deep, it was nearly half a foot long. Looking at the wound, Qiao Ling'er couldn't tell what she was feeling.

"You...why did you save me today?" Qiao Ling'er hesitated, and finally couldn't help asking after the wound was bandaged.The first time I pushed her away and got a wound, and the last time I completely protected her. This feeling is really...

Zongzheng Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, then smiled and said, "I said I won't hurt you."

"Is it just because of your own promise?" Qiao Ling'er regretted it when she asked the question. What exactly did she ask?Not because of this promise, are there other expectations?
I despise you, Qiao Linger!Qiao Linger scolded herself in her heart.

Seeing Qiao Linger's rapidly changing face, Zongzheng Yi raised a beautiful arc at the corner of his mouth, "You are my wife, shouldn't I protect you?"

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Ling'er's pretty face was once again stained with red clouds. Such ambiguous words were really not something she, a young girl, could bear.

"Ling'er, let Qingye follow you when you go out in the future!" After a brief silence, Zong Zhengyi spoke.

Qiao Ling'er regained her sanity when Zong Zhengyi said it.Originally, she was a little uncomfortable with a big man following her when she was shopping, so she kept Aoba, but she didn't expect it to be an opportunity for trouble.

She nodded immediately, the other party was everywhere, she really had to be careful.

"I will find out the identities of those people, you have to be careful." Zong Zhengyi warned with some worry.

"I know." Qiao Ling'er couldn't help but look serious, "This time people are not only targeting me, but also targeting you. You spend more time outside, so you should be careful." At that time, she didn't realize that she and Zong Zhengyi were like real husband and wife.

Zong Zhengyi also nodded with a smile, "Is the reason why you don't let Yue Ying leave because you are afraid that someone will harm me?"

When it comes to Moon Shadow, Qiao Linger loses interest. "He's loyal to you, that's enough."

"There won't be a next time!" Zongzheng Yi said as if promising or apologizing, and before Qiao Linger could ask what he meant, he heard him say: "Lunch is almost ready, You should be hungry, let's have lunch first!"

In the end, "There will be no next time." Qiao Ling'er still didn't ask, but there was a strange warmth in her heart.

"By the way, where is the Dharma hall?" Qiao Ling'er asked, shaking off the awkward thoughts in her heart, thinking of what he said to Yueying before.

"It will make Yueying remember the mistakes he made." Zong Zhengyi described it indifferently.

Even if he didn't say it, Qiao Ling'er could guess that the Law Hall and the Law Enforcement Hall are actually the same place where punishment is received!She didn't see Moon Shadow for the next five days, and seeing Moon Shadow's limping walking posture later confirmed her guess.

After the assassination, Zong Zhengyi told Qiao Ling'er to stay at home these days, in case those killers would wait for an opportunity to act.

Qiao Ling'er didn't say much. It's better not to make extra troubles at this time. As for the old lady Sima Yue, it's already been agreed.

"Miss, the old lady's martial arts are so powerful!" Ning Xiang unconsciously recalled the scene at that time. Although she was screaming in fear most of the time, Sima Yue's heroic appearance was really impressive. Unforgettable.

"If you want to learn, I'll tell my mother to let her teach you." Qiao Ling'er looked at Ningxiang and couldn't help laughing.

However, what Ning Xiang said was also true, Sima Yue's eight-slashing knives skill is really outstanding, and that flexible figure is completely unlike the posture of a woman who is nearly fifty years old.

"Miss, are you kidding me? Look at me with small arms and legs, and I am still learning martial arts from the old lady? Maybe my arm will be broken first when the old lady touches me." Ning Xiang grumbled He said, and pretended to put up his sleeves for Qiao Linger to see.

"Ningxiang, is your arm made of tofu?" Qiao Linger's mouth twitched.

"Second sister-in-law is a good question." Qiao Ling'er's words were picked up in a playful voice, and he said again: "Ningxiang, let the third young master have a look at the tofu-like arm. The third young master has seen many strange things in his life. Have you ever seen an arm like tofu!"

Zongzhengyan's teasing words immediately made Ningxiang's face turn red, and she said coquettishly, "Third young master!"

Qiao Ling'er gave Zong Zhengyan a blank look, and asked indifferently: "Why is my uncle free to go home today?"

"Second sister-in-law, my younger brother just heard that someone injured my second brother yesterday, so I rushed back from Quzhou to take a look." Zong Zhengyan said in a flat tone, but it was not difficult to see the tiredness in his eyes.

Quzhou is a small city, two days' journey away from the capital, and it was only by running around day and night that it was able to catch up with yesterday's assassin incident, and it was able to come so quickly.
