away from the heart

Chapter 52
Xue Yao entered the mansion, walked back and forth in the corridor several times, and still walked towards his room.Bai Liqi followed behind, wondering: "General, Madam's room is not at this end..."

"I know. Go and call Nanny Zhou over."

Nanny Zhou came over, and Xue Yao asked her, "Has Madam had dinner yet?"

Nanny Zhou shook her head: "Not yet, it's because I don't have an appetite today. It's strange, I eat a lot on weekdays..."

"I need to eat a little..." Xue Yao frowned, "Then send some porridge and side dishes to her room. My aunt hasn't returned home yet, so don't worry about her too much."

"The old lady sent a letter just now, saying that yesterday...the road down the mountain was washed away by the flash flood, and I'm afraid it will take two days before I can return home." Nanny Zhou raised her hand and wiped her forehead.The old lady was self-willed for a while and ordered the road to be shoveled. As a result, she was trapped in the temple for no reason, with a fire in her heart.When I come back to see Mrs. Xin Shao, I still don't know how it will happen.

Xue Yao nodded indifferently, and ordered: "Please trouble Mother Zhou, find me a pair of coarse clothes from an ordinary man, and I will wait... to do something."

Nanny Zhou went down in response, and Bai Liqi asked: "The general is going to see his wife? Then why are you wearing coarse clothes?"

"Men from aristocratic families all wear similar clothes. If I dress differently from that person, maybe she will feel better when she sees me." Xue Yao sighed softly, "Go and prepare water first, and I will go after I take a bath." see her."

As night fell, Tao Yao lit the candles.Chuyue read "Guanshan Chronicle" with her arms in her arms, sometimes giggling, and sometimes lowering her head in a weeping gesture.She excitedly asked Taoyao to come over: "Xiao Taotao, when Xue Yao divorces me, the emperor will definitely not care about me, then I will be free. Look at what is written in Mr. Guan Shan's book, where is the south side?" , there are small bridges and flowing water; to the north, there is a desert scenery, which way do you think we should go? Oh, it's too difficult to choose!"

Seeing that she was back to normal, Tao Yao felt relieved and said with a smile: "Why don't we ask Lord Shun?"

Chuyue's eyes brightened: "Yes, Xingchen must know where the fun is. Then I will go to him tomorrow!"

Someone knocked lightly on the door, and Chuyue raised her voice and asked, "Who is it?"

"it's me."

Xue Yao?Chuyue hurriedly closed the book: "Taoyao, what do you think he came to see me at night..."

Tao Yao wanted to open the door: "Let's talk about everything later, it's not easy for the general to stand outside the door at night..."

"Wait a minute!" Chuyue took Taoyao, walked lightly to the door, and peeked out through the crack of the window.Her complexion changed, and she lowered her voice and said nervously, "The clothes he is wearing... seem to be new?"

Tao Yao blinked: "What happened to the new clothes?"

"It's a serious matter! Think about it, after all, you have to take a shower before you are willing to wear new clothes, right? He is a stinky man, and he came to my room in the middle of the night after taking a bath and changing clothes. Wouldn't he want to..." Chuyue couldn't bear it Thinking about it, he turned his head in pain.

The door of the room was pushed open suddenly, Chuyue was caught off guard and hit her nose, and suddenly screamed in pain.She covered her nose with tears in her eyes: "Why didn't you knock on the door again!"

"Why didn't you answer me? I thought something happened to you!" Xue Yao rushed in eagerly, looked around her, and asked cautiously, "Are you... crying?"

Chuyue pretended to be wiping her tears, and said sadly: "I'm fine, I just... I can't figure it out for a while, but what can I do, just leave me alone..."

Seeing that she was fine, Xue Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "Taoyao, you go down first, I have something to say to the princess."

Tao Yao looked at Chuyue, then at Xue Yao, and went out helplessly.Chuyue's heart beat a drum: "You drove away all my people, what do you want to do?"

Xue Yao remained silent, reaching out to take off his coat.Chuyue felt even worse, she clutched her chest and backed away: "You, you have something to say, why take off your clothes?!"

Xue Yao paused: "I just want to put some clothes on you, it's a bit cold at night." He looked at Chuyue's terrified expression, sighed, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, not all men will bully you of."

"You liar!" Chuyue shook her head, "Since I opened my eyes and saw you, when will you stop bullying me?"

"That's... some misunderstandings in the past." Xue Yao's eyes flashed, and he looked at Chuyue again, "The fact that you were... hijacked is ultimately because I didn't protect you well, not your fault. In the future, I will take care of you responsible for you."
