A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 719
The housekeeper brought A Shuo in through the back door.

Seeing him, Meng Yan asked straight to the point: "My mother left the house in the middle of the afternoon, where is he?"

A Shuo said: "Princess, please forgive me. This time, my Master Hou didn't manage the time well. Master Hou was afraid that the princess would be worried, so he asked me to come and let me know. After a while, Master Hou will send Mrs. Xia back intact. "

Now that Meng Yan sees A Shuo, the stone in her heart is really at the bottom.

I hadn't seen Ashuo people before, so I couldn't be sure that the Marquis of Shang was in the capital. Meng Yan waited for two hours just relying on Xia's handwritten letter, which already showed his great trust in the Marquis of Shang.

"I heard that the person who came to pick him up was a stranger. If your Lord Marquis sent a stranger because it was inconvenient to show up, why did he send you to let him know now?"

Before A Shuo could answer, Meng Yan squinted her eyes, looked at A Shuo and said, "You said you didn't grasp the time well, and you don't know why you didn't grasp the method well, or did you mean that the person who came during the day was not Was it sent by your Lord Marquis?"

Meng Yan was just probing like this, and saw A Shuo follow the good advice: "During the day, Lord Hou ordered me to do other things, so I sent other people. I didn't expect that the stupid thing didn't explain clearly to the princess, so the princess was born. Misunderstood. Don't worry, Wangfei, my Lord Hou should be having dinner with Mrs. Xia right now, and he will be back soon."

Meng Yan nodded and said, "Okay, since we're here, the visitor is a guest. Anyway, the Marquis of Shang will send my mother back later, so you can wait here for your master to come and go together."

Ah Shuo knew that he would not be able to leave for the time being until Xia Shi returned safely, so he didn't force it, and replied: "Okay. It's just that I haven't eaten dinner yet, does the princess provide meals?"

Meng Yan said: "Chongyi, take him to dinner."

Chongyi took A Shuo to the kitchen in disgust, and A Shuo also followed Chongyi in disgust.

Along the way, the two spoke with mutual disgust.

For example, Chongyi said coldly: "You Shanghou asked you to come out to do things, but you didn't ask you to come and eat. Doesn't he know how to feed you before letting you out?"

A Shuo replied coldly: "Isn't it too full to eat, just like you are now."

Chongyi said in a bad tone: "Then you still eat eggs, if you have the ability, you are hungry."

A Shuo said: "If you don't eat, you won't eat."

The two of you said something to each other, and before they reached the back kitchen, they drew out their swords and started to fight.

***
The Xia family was in Jingyuan, waiting from dusk to dusk until it was completely dark.

She has been in worry, fearing that something will happen to the Marquis of Shang halfway.

She came up with the idea several times to go out and look for it, but when she looked back, if she went out, what would she do if she was not there when the Marquis of Shang came?

So in such contradictions and worries, the sky got late unknowingly.

The night also fell unconsciously.

When Xia came back to his senses, he realized that the surrounding light was dim, and he was immersed in this dim night.

Apart from her, there is no one else in this garden.

There wasn't even a lamplighter on the porch.

The cicadas on the tree stopped singing at some point, and the surrounding area was extremely quiet, even quieter than in the evening.

When Mrs. Xia turned her head to look out the door, she could only vaguely see a faint silhouette in the yard.

She has been sitting upright in this room and waiting for several hours. No one can imagine that she can be so calm and persistent that she didn't even take a step from the door of this room.

Xia couldn't help stretching out his hand again, and looked at his five fingers, only faint outlines were left in the night.

She was just starting to feel nervous.She has indeed been here for too long, and it is time to go back.

As soon as Xia Shi got up, she realized another problem - how should she go back?

Someone picked her up when she came here, and she didn't even remember the way, so what should she do now?
Xia Shi slowly sat back down again, he should first think about how to solve the problem of going home.If you are wandering outside, you might as well stay here to be safe.

So as time went by, the night outside became thicker, and it was as difficult to melt away as splashed ink.A bucket of moonlight hid in the clouds, and the starlight was far away and hazy, extremely pale.

Mrs. Xia remembered that there was a tea house in front of the garden, and when the attendant left, she said that she could go to the front to get some tea and fruit meals.I just don't know if there is anyone in the teahouse at this moment.

The spacious room Xia Shi lived in was obviously specially used for entertaining guests.

The reason why it is transparent from north to south is that it not only has a front door, but also several back doors.The front and rear doors are all open to allow the fresh air to flow in, making it cool day and night.

The chirping of insects suddenly sounded in the grass outside. The Xia family was no stranger to this, and used to hear it every night in the village.

It's just that before Xia could get up and go to the teahouse in front, she was taken aback.

Because what followed was the rustling sound from the grass.

Xia held her breath and listened intently, and heard that the movement seemed to come from outside the back door, and was approaching the room.

Outside the back door is a deep and secluded back garden with luxuriant vegetation and dotted with artificial hills. Once the door is opened, a scene of winding paths leading to secluded places will come into the picture, which is quite artistic.

During the day, Xia Shi purposely admired it for a while.A few green branches stretch out obliquely under the eaves, swaying in the breeze, and the light and shadow are mottled; under the dense shade that the sun cannot penetrate, the green grass is deep and green, and beside the rockery, there are frogs jumping past from time to time, which is really eye-catching.

But right now, Xia Shi felt the hairs on her body stand on end when she heard that voice.

She sounded like something was crawling through the tall grass, getting closer.

Until later, she clearly felt that the thing came into the room, making a barking sound, which sounded especially creepy in an extremely quiet room.

Xia's heart felt cold, and she couldn't help getting goosebumps all over her body. She couldn't see clearly, so she got up quickly and ran out of the room.

Xia Shi had been kneeling on the soft mat all this time, her legs were already numb, but she suddenly stood up and ran, and she couldn't regain consciousness for a while.

One deep foot and one shallow foot, a sprained foot, followed by a bone-piercing pain.

Xia Shi took a deep breath, and couldn't help turning her head to look in the direction of the barking sound, and then limped out.

She turned her head frequently, her attention was all in the room, and she didn't even notice that there was a figure striding forward in the courtyard in front of her.

As a result, as soon as she reached the door, she looked back again, and when she turned around and took a step forward in panic, she bumped into someone's arms unexpectedly.

Xia Shi was even more frightened, and instinctively took two steps back, but her foot hurt badly, she couldn't stand firmly for a while, and staggered twice.

A powerful arm stretched out, wrapped her body in time, and brought her back.

Xia Shi almost blurted out an exclamation, but when she came into contact with the other side's embrace again and recognized the familiar scent on him, the voice in her throat was choked by an invisible hand.
