Chapter 078
"You, won't you come up?"
Xie Juan spoke tremblingly.
I smiled and climbed into bed, not forgetting to lower the window curtains.
The entire bed became a closed space. Obviously, Xie Juan felt much better in such an environment.
The fear on her face dissipated, and she subconsciously approached me and whispered: "What are we doing next?"
"Ahem, let's make some noise, otherwise those who are listening will not leave."
Xie Juan nodded and acted very skillfully.
The throbbing in my heart was instantly extinguished.
This posture, this state, this expression, if you say you are not a professional, I won't believe it.
Focusing on the outside, about ten minutes later, with a high-pitched cry from Xie Juan, the people outside the door and outside the window finally left.
Xie Juan sweated: "How is it?"
“Performed very well and professionally.”
Xie Juan blushed: "No, I'm asking someone outside?"
"Already gone."
"Shall we go then?"
"How to go? Go to sleep and have a good rest. There should be no danger tonight."
Just as I thought, I slept until dawn that night without encountering any danger.
Just at dawn, there was a knock on the door, and a maid's voice sounded outside: "Master, Madam, it's time to serve tea to the Master and Madam. The Master and Madam are already waiting in the side hall."
After saying that, he left directly without leading the way.
I straightened out my clothes that were wrinkled from sleeping: "Now remember, we are the young master and the young lady. Don't do things that are inconsistent with our status. This can avoid many risks."
Xie Juan nodded: "Well, let's go to the side hall now? But where is the side hall?"
"Good question."
I frowned and thought about the layout of Wu's house.
It's a pity that all the rooms were closed last night. I really don't know where the so-called side hall is.
After thinking about it, I said: "Go to the main room first. The side hall should be next to the main room."
I'm guessing, but the side hall should be easy to find.
He and Xie Juan opened the door and went out. After walking a few steps, a servant who was watering the flowers said, "Master, Madam, where are you going? The master and his wife are waiting for you in the side hall."
As he spoke, the servant's expression gradually solidified.
Going in the wrong direction.
I said: "Let's do some exercise, I'm a little tired."
"Really?" The villain's face maintained a strange posture, and did not continue to stiffen or return to normal. It was obvious that he still had doubts about my words.
At this time, Xie Juan said: "Let's go serve tea first, otherwise it will appear that my daughter-in-law is very ignorant."
With that said, Xie Juan pulled me in another direction.
I nodded and walked towards the direction guided by Xie Juan.
The servant's expression returned to normal and he continued to do his own thing.
I whispered: "Do you remember the road? There are corridors everywhere here, like a maze."
"Yes, I remember, I have a good memory. I just don't know if the side hall is in the direction of the main room."
"Go to the main room first. Pay more attention to other people's reactions on the way."
Xie Juan has a good memory, and she led me to the outside of the main room with a lot of twists and turns.
No one behaved abnormally along the way. It was obvious that the side hall was right next to the main room.
But before I could breathe a sigh of relief, I saw four middle-aged people, two men and two women, sitting in a room on one side of the main room. They were the parents of the newcomer last night.
Isn’t tea served only to the mother-in-law? Why are the bride’s parents coming to join in the fun?
It seems like they didn’t say who was who last night.
As I walked, I lowered my head and said in a breathy voice: "Pretend to be shy."
Xie Juan lowered his head in an instant, and his face turned red visibly. Then, with my surprised eyes, he glanced at the people in the side hall and hurriedly lowered his head.
That chin almost hit my chest.
This acting...
Definitely taking the high-end route.
After sighing slightly, I pretended to comfort Xie Juan and stood at the door with her, without anyone stepping in.
After waiting for a few seconds, a slightly thinner middle-aged woman said: "This kid is still shy. Why don't you come in quickly and serve tea to your mother-in-law?"
I understand, this is the woman’s mother, and the middle-aged man next to him should be the woman’s father.
But this game is a bit sinister. What if your in-laws and your in-laws’ mother sit together?
This time, I didn't have time to remind Xie Juan, Xie Juan had already nodded and said: "I'm sorry, I have met my mother. Please forgive me."
She said this to a slightly fat woman.
The fat woman chuckled: "It's okay, it's okay. Come in quickly."
At this time, the man sitting next to the fat woman said: "Why, you have only seen your mother, but not your father?"
As I walked inside, I felt uneasy, hoping that this man was his father and would not cause any trouble.
What I didn't expect was that Xie Juan was smarter than I thought. She quickened her pace, and just when she was about to get close, her feet gave way and she fell directly to the ground.
Several middle-aged people stood up immediately. The man helped Xie Juan from a distance, while the two women came over and helped Xie Juan up.
The thin woman couldn't help complaining: "What's wrong with you? You're not careful at all."
The fat woman said: "It's okay, it's okay, you didn't get hurt."
Xie Juan shook her head and lowered her head with a flushed face: "No, it's okay, my feet are just a little soft."
The two middle-aged women suddenly put on indescribable smiles and helped Xie Juan to a seat on one side.
The fat woman glared at me and said, "Okay, since you are not in good health, there is no need to serve tea. Our Wu family doesn't have such big rules."
"But......"
Xie Juan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by the fat woman waving her hand: "Just do as I say."
"Thank you, mother."
Three women gathered together for a casual chat. I wanted to come over, but was kicked out.
The younger middle-aged man who was sitting next to the thin woman said: "Why are you leaning over when a woman is talking about something? You haven't come to see your father-in-law yet."
I responded with a smile and let out a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, in order to dig holes, this game doesn't even care about rationality. There is no such way.
If Xie Juan hadn't been so alert, I might have called the wrong person.
I patiently chatted with the two old men for a while, because Xie Juan was not feeling well before, so she was let out not long after.
We didn't go back to the room, but went straight out the door.
The excuse was that I wanted to take my wife to see the town.
After all, I knew before that the bride was not from this town, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.
I went straight to the inn, wanting to discuss with everyone what to do next. But when I saw the three of Ma Feifei, I was stunned.
Ma Feifei still looked indifferent, but with a little anger in her indifference.
Zhao Qing's clothes were torn in many places and his whole body was shivering.
Sun Mingyi, on the other hand, lay directly on the bed. This time he did not cover himself with a quilt, and his exposed body could clearly be seen missing one foot.
There was no blood, no pain, as if he was born with a disability.
"What's going on?" I looked at Ma Feifei and asked.
