Chapter 234
Xiao Ruan's gaze carefully sized Xiao Zhongheng's face, and suddenly realized that his subtle temptation was of no great use.Seeing that the two of them were looking at him with concern, he told Duanmu Yao about inviting him to apologize.

However, she just said that Duanmu Yao apologized to herself and stopped focusing on Huo Xun, and didn't mention anything about Xiao Zhongheng.

"She came to apologize to you?"

There was a strange look in his eyes, after Huo Xun's eyes glanced at Xiao Zhongheng's face, he suddenly remained silent.

Xiao Zhongheng at the side nodded slightly.

"If Princess Yao can really repent, then I will be relieved."

Xiao Ruan's gaze remained glued to Xiao Zhongheng's face, and he raised his eyebrows when he heard these words.

Before Xiao Zhongheng said good things to Duanmuyao, Xiao Ruan thought he had a good impression of Duanmuyao, but now it seems that it is just normal.

Just when she was about to ask something more, Huo Xun suddenly took the medicine bowl in her hand, and asked her to have a good rest with a concerned face.

Huo Xuneng helped Xiao Ruan back to the bed, and helped her tuck the quilt, then took Xiao Zhongheng to the outside room.

The footsteps gradually left, Xiao Ruan lay on the bed, countless thoughts flashed through her head, until Huo Xun asked someone to come in again with lunch.

"I haven't asked clearly yet, why did you call brother away?"

Xiao Ruan propped himself up, with a little dissatisfaction in his voice.As if Huo Xun didn't notice her emotions, he personally brought the food to Xiao Ruan, fed her, and said indifferently: "Why don't you tell me what you want to ask?"

A spoonful of soup was served in front of her eyes, Xiao Ruan couldn't complain any more when facing Huo Xun's concerned eyes, after thinking about it, she finally told her about Duan Muyao's coming to ask her about Xiao Zhongheng.

"I heard that my brother doesn't seem to have any special feelings for Duanmu Yao. Do you think they are a good match?"

Xiao Ruan's voice was full of worry.

After Xiao Zhongheng reconciled with the Pei family, there was no news of his engagement to any girl.

Sometimes a matchmaker came to her and asked her to persuade Xiao Zhongheng to marry a wife into the mansion as soon as possible, but every time she mentioned it to Xiao Zhongheng, the other party would find other reasons to change the topic.

For a while, Xiao Ruan couldn't figure out Xiao Zhongheng's thoughts. Hearing Duanmuyao's bold inquiry today, he couldn't help but want to ask him what he meant.

On the one hand, he was worried that Xiao Zhongheng didn't like Duanmuyao, and on the other hand, he was worried that Duanmuyao directly proposed to the emperor to marry Xiao Zhongheng...

"You, Zhongheng is not the same as before. Someone has to worry about his affairs. Don't worry about it too much. Take good care of the baby and take care of our children."

Different from Xiao Ruan's worries, Huo Xun heard Xiao Ruan's hesitation and chattered around Princess Beijiang just now, and felt something strange, so he directly found an excuse to take Xiao Zhongheng away.

Hearing the explanation at this time, he suddenly felt a little helpless.

This woman had just narrowly escaped from the fire, and her body has not yet recovered, but because of Duan Muyao's words, she was full of worries for Xiao Zhongheng.

Could it be that she doesn't know that her body is important?
Huo Xun put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand, raised his hand and tucked a strand of Xiao Ruan's hair behind his ear, looking at her pale face, his eyes were full of pity.

"Regardless of whether there is a possibility between Duanmuyao and Zhongheng, it is a matter between the two of them. Your task now is to take good care of your body, and don't waste your mind on other things."

The hand was held by someone's broad palm, and the warm temperature spread along the skin and into Xiao Ruan's heart.

Facing the person in front of him with a slightly aggrieved expression, Xiao Ruan seemed to be bewitched by the person in front of him, and instantly felt that he really seemed to care a little too much.

Xiao Zhongheng is now a fifth-rank official in the court, and he is highly regarded by the emperor.

Even if the emperor really wanted to marry Princess Beijiang, with the help of Mrs. Lu and others, she could rest assured and have a good pregnancy.

For a moment, all kinds of worries that had been lingering in Xiao Ruan's mind were swept away in an instant. Looking down at her slightly protruding belly, Xiao Ruan's mouth suddenly showed a smile.

"Did you hear that, baby? Your dad is blaming me for not taking good care of you."

Huo Xun was about to speak when he heard the words, when he suddenly saw a very surprised expression on Xiao Ruan's face.

"Sir, the baby moved in my stomach!"

Following Xiao Ruan's cry of surprise, perhaps his face was overjoyed, he hurriedly put his hands on Xiao Ruan's belly and said eagerly: "Where is he moving? But here?

"That's right! It's here, you feel it carefully... ah! He moved again!"

Following Xiao Ruan's cry, Huo Xun suddenly felt a slight movement under his palm, and instantly revealed a voice of excitement.

"Ruan'er, our child is moving! He must be trying to talk to us!"

As he said, Huo Xun leaned down and put his ear on Xiao Ruan's belly, as if he was really listening.

"What did he say?"

Xiao Ruan saw him sticking to her belly for a long time without moving, with a serious expression on his face, and suddenly felt a little amused.

But Huo Xun really raised his head and looked at Xiao Ruan seriously: "My son said, if his mother doesn't get well soon, she won't get close to you after he is born."

After saying that, Huo Xun straightened up and picked up the bowls and chopsticks again: "If you don't want our son to be disappointed, then don't worry about anything and take care of yourself quickly."

Xiao Ruan knew that the other party was beating around the bush to tell her not to take care of Xiao Zhongheng's affairs, but fortunately she had thought it through before and nodded emphatically with him, opened her mouth obediently like a child, and let him feed her.

In the winter weather, the dripping water outside turned into ice, and I could hear some pleasant laughter from the room from time to time. Zhuyun and Lianqiao, who were guarding outside, looked at each other without knowing it and covered their lips and laughed softly.

"Brother, so you came back a long time ago?"

Duan Muyao flicked the silver moon whip, and when she returned to the post house in a good mood, she suddenly found that Duan Muhao was sitting in the hall of the post house, not holding something in his hand and examining it carefully.

She had just seen that it was a note, and before she had time to ask, the other party had already put the note away.

"The news came from my mother, asking me to return to the country immediately after I deal with this matter. Have you thought about who you want to marry now?"

At this time, Duanmuhao's face was calm, the corners of his mouth were pursed slightly, and he no longer had the usual cynical expression.

Seeing this, Duan Muyao was surprised, and immediately stepped forward: "Didn't the father say that I will find a son-in-law here before leaving, why did he call you back suddenly? Did something happen in the country?"

"You don't have to think about it, we have stayed in the Southern Jin Dynasty for more than a month. Now that the end of the year is approaching, and the government is busy with business, it is only natural for my father to call me back."

Duanmu Haoyun explained calmly, and finally looked at Duanmuyao with some reluctance and said: "I have asked my father to stay here for a longer period of time, and you have to make a marriage proposal soon. .”

Hearing that Duanmuhao could still be here with her for a short time, Duanmuyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, Brother Huang, I already have a candidate I like, and I will definitely let Brother Huang attend my wedding before leaving."

A blush rose on Duanmu Yao's face, but her voice was extremely firm.

Hearing this, Duan Muhao's bright red lips immediately curled up, and the Jade Fracture Fan unfolded with a bang, showing a chic attitude again, and joked with a smile: "Could it be that you have reconciled with that Xiao Ruan?"

"I really can't guess what my brother's eyes are."

A look of admiration flashed in Duanmuyao's eyes, she sat down on the seat opposite him, and detailed what happened today.

"I used to say that Xiao Ruan was a poisonous woman, but now it seems that I misunderstood her in the past. She can easily forgive me today, and her brother must be a refined person!"

As soon as Duanmuyao mentioned Xiao Zhongheng, his eyes shone with excitement, as if he had picked up some treasure.

Duanmuhao glanced at her with a half-smile, and seemed to be mocking: "Didn't you only like strong and brave people in the past, and you weren't afraid that the father would know that you found a frail scholar and suspect that I, Princess Beijiang, was transferred? "

"What kind of frail scholar is he? He dares to block my Silver Moon Whip without fear of death. In this point, I, Da Jiang, and other warriors can't compare!"

Duanmuyao couldn't listen to others' rebuttal to Xiao Zhongheng, so she immediately explained to Duanmuhao.

During this time, she had secretly sent someone to investigate Xiao Zhongheng's identity.

Knowing that it took only half a year for him to be promoted from a low-rank official to a fifth-rank official in the court, I felt that I hadn't misjudged him.

The reason why he was in a hurry to see Xiao Ruan was because he heard that Xiao Zhongheng had a wife in the past, and the two had obviously reconciled, but the servants sent news that Mrs. Pei often went in and out of Xiao's residence.

With Huo Xun's resolute rejection of her lesson, she must figure it out this time.

"Brother, just wait..."

Thinking of Xiao Ruan's mention that Xiao Zhongheng had indeed reconciled with the Pei family, and now that he is single, Duanmuyao became more determined to win.

But at this moment, a maid suddenly came in from outside and interrupted Duanmuyao's voice.

"Miss, a secret letter from the palace..."

Duanmuyao looked up and saw that the maid was holding a letter in her hand, she took it immediately, after reading the contents, she curled her mouth in disdain.

"You tell someone to tell the prince's side concubine, just say that the princess has no time to enter the palace."

Duanmu Yao casually replied to the maid, and casually threw the letter on the table, with a hint of annoyance on her face.

It has been more than half a month since she sent the letter to the palace, and the man only replied now.

No matter what the other party said in the letter, it has no meaning to her now.

Fortunately, she thought that man was a warm-hearted person who could be friends with.

The so-called those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black.Looking at it now, I'm afraid this person is as hypocritical as that young lady of the Huo family!
"Yes."

The maid took the order and hurried away, Duanmuyao still had a bit of resentment on her face.Duanmuhao, who was facing her, had his eyes flickering for a moment, and he also propped himself up, shaking the jade bone fan, and got up and left in a fluttering manner.
