Chapter 243

Xiaosi Xiaoliang set off happily early in the morning the next day.

Mr. Fei didn't object too much when he heard Bai Fu said about Taohuawu, he just asked for two hidden guards to go with him for safety's sake.

Those hidden guards are very good at invisibility, except for Mr. Fei and Bai Fu, no one else knows their existence.

Bai Fu was worried about revealing Taohuawu's location and didn't want to agree, but he heard that the girl who got married this time was from a village near Taohuawu, and the girl's family would also participate. A Shi also said that the patriarch doesn't mind strangers now. In and out of Taohuawu, I agreed.

"Hey, do you have a feeling that female college students don't want to stay?"

Watching the carriage go away, Bai Fu suddenly smiled and asked Mr. Fei who was looking at his daughter from a distance.

Mr. Fei quietly retracted his gaze.

"Xiao Si hasn't reached the age of marriage yet."

Bai Fu groaned, and continued to tease: "Your old father is so worried when you are not yet old. If you do, won't you marry in tears?"

Because this is the first time in these years that his daughter has traveled far alone, Mr. Fei is inevitably a little worried.

But suddenly being ridiculed by Bai Fu, the unspeakable melancholy in his heart dissipated immediately, and then his expression paused, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

"Old father?"

Focus on that old word.

Although he never mentions it, and Bai Fu never seems to care about it, but to Bai Fu, he is indeed considered "old".

Bai Fu giggled and stuck out his tongue mischievously, "Why, isn't it?"

Mr. Fei looked helpless, but there were people beside him, so he didn't say much.

"Do you think I'm old?"

When Bai Fu was practicing calligraphy at night, he suddenly heard a faint sentence from a certain man.

Bai Fu looked up in surprise, the incomparably handsome man looked indifferent at the moment, as if the resentful question just now did not come from him.

Bai Fu raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Don't tell me you've been struggling with this all day today?"

Mr. Fei didn't take his eyes off the book, focused his expression, and pretended to turn to the next page, "No, I just asked casually."

Bai Fu withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and continued to write her handwriting. After writing several times, he calmly spoke again: "There are indeed some antiques."

Mr. Fei paused for a while while holding the book.

"Antique?"

Bai Fu nodded.

"Well, there are still some old pedants, lacking the passion and style of a hot-blooded teenager. Well, it seems a bit regrettable when I think about it."

Mr. Fei: "."

After not getting any response for a long time, Bai Fu secretly raised his eyelids and glanced at the man.

The man was dressed in moonlight, obviously in a homely plain robe, but he wore it with a different taste.

His eyelashes drooped slightly like a fan, as if he was seriously pondering a certain classic meaning in the book, and he was not affected by Bai Fu's teasing.

Bai Fu sighed silently in his heart.

Say sorry. It's true.

Her personality is fiery, occasionally curious, and fiery love. What would it be like?
"master."

Suddenly Xi Nan's voice came from outside the window, Bai Fu didn't listen to what Xi Nan said, but only looked up at the night outside the window.

It was already very late, everyone else was asleep, no wonder Xi Nan dared to appear directly outside the window.

"Let's talk, I'll go back to sleep first."

After Bai Fu packed his pen and ink, he said softly to Mr. Fei.

Mr. Fei nodded slightly, watching Bai Fu leave.

In Raozhou in July, the wind at night is also restless.

After taking a shower, Bai Fu sat in front of the window, gently shaking the small fan to wait for her hair to dry. She was used to chatting and laughing with Xiao Si every night, but she suddenly quieted down, which was a little strange.

"Miss Bai"

Aunt Ye appeared in the veranda outside the window at some point, with a timid expression, as if she wanted to come over, but she was afraid of offending Bai Fu.

Bai Fu kept shaking his fan, and nodded at Aunt Ye, "Haven't you slept so late?"

This is actually nonsense, a mother would not be able to sleep in such a place with her son.

But Bai Fu couldn't comfort her too much, Mr. Fei didn't come back with good news today.

"I remembered one more thing"

Aunt Ye didn't approach, she just stood there and said.

Bai Fu signaled her to come and listen.

"In the first year of my marriage to my husband's house, I went to wash clothes by the river. The son of Landlord Zheng's family was too drunk to pass by and pestered me. Somehow, my mother-in-law found out. She was very disrespectful to me during that time. Well, it wasn't until later that I got pregnant with Chong'er that she gave me a good face."

Ye Gu looked hesitant, but continued on:
"Later, I overheard my mother-in-law telling my aunt that the child looks like my husband, so it should be my husband's son."

"Do you think your mother-in-law may suspect that your son is not of her family??" Bai Fu asked after thinking for a while.

Aunt Ye nodded.

"In the past, I was only suspicious, but I didn't really think about it, because my mother-in-law is really good at hedging children, but this time my mother-in-law said that she would kill my son, I think she may have committed suspicion again."

After hearing this, Bai Fu didn't jump to a conclusion, but glanced at Aunt Ye.

To be honest, she is not familiar with Aunt Ye, helping others is just a matter of convenience, and she doesn't know her character well.

Ye Gu understood the meaning of Bai Fu's look, and quickly waved her hands to deny, "I swear, I have nothing to do with that bastard, Chong'er is my husband's child! If I lie, I will die!"

"Aside from the time that Landlord Zheng's son was entangled with you, has he done other misleading things?" Bai Fu asked after pondering for a moment.

Ye Gu shook her head subconsciously, but halfway through the shaking she thought of something and stopped.

"My husband used to be a helper for Landlord Zheng's family, and he was valued by Landlord Zheng very much. Later, after he worked for Zheng's family in an accident, Landlord Zheng's family took the initiative to give a pension, and it was all in the hands of my mother-in-law. I don't know the exact amount, but it should be Quite a few, my mother-in-law said something strange when she got the silver."

"What?"

"She said thanks to Chong'er, the good grandson.
Moreover, Landlord Zheng seems to like my son very much. Every time I see him, he will give my son delicious food. He also introduced him to the school. I used to think that Landlord Zheng was doing his best to help our family for the sake of his deceased husband. , now that I think about it, it might not be that simple.”

Ye Gu's expression was very ugly, "I've been thinking for the past two days, is it possible that my mother-in-law might suspect that Chong'er is not the husband's child because of this?"

"Understood, you go and rest first, if you think of any useful news, you can tell me, all I can do for you is pass it to the government office." Bai Fu said lightly.

Ye Gu nodded gratefully, said a few more small things, and left.

Sending Aunt Ye off, Bai Fu was hesitating whether to go over to tell Mr. Fei about this now, and Mr. Fei came here first.

"Thinking that you won't be able to sleep because of the heat, bring some summer drinks here."

Mr. Fei said softly.

Bai Fu took the drink with a sweet smile, and drank it directly from the bowl with a spoon, "It's so cool, I suddenly feel less irritable."

Mr. Fei took the empty bowl very smoothly, and then handed over a handkerchief, which was wet and cool, "wipe"

After Bai Fu wiped his mouth, he turned the handkerchief to the other side, and applied it to his face, exhaling how cool he was.

"Xi Nan heard what you said just now, and has already gone to investigate." Mr. Fei said after sitting opposite Bai Fu.

Bai Fu snorted, and after a few words of advice, he asked another matter, "We're leaving in a few days. Have you arranged everything for your side?"

"It's arranged, we can play while walking on the way."

Talking about this long-awaited trip, Bai Fu was very excited. He took out the map and talked to Mr. Fei about the attractions that he planned to check in along the way, as well as the special delicacies from all over the world that Yunqi gave her.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

With a smile on his lips, Mr. Fei listened carefully to Bai Fu's words for a long time, and when Bai Fu finished speaking, he didn't propose to go back as usual, but told her about other attractions worth visiting along the way.

Bai Fu felt sleepy when she heard it, she yawned and turned to look at the sky outside, "Shouldn't you go back to sleep?"

Mr. Fei pursed his lips lightly.

Is this chasing him?
After thinking that he was old, incomprehensible, and not enthusiastic enough, they started to drive him away?

His eyes fell on Bai Fu's cherry lips.

Moreover, it seems that she hasn't taken the initiative to kiss him for some days, and she clearly told him that this is an indispensable way of communicating between lovers.

"what happened?"

Bai Fu didn't know why her boyfriend looked at her in silence today, she was very puzzled, she touched her face, "Are there any flowers on my face?"

Mr. Fei was silent for a while, seeing that Bai Fu didn't understand him at all, he shook his head helplessly and got up.

"Let's rest earlier."

Bai Fu got up to see Mr. Fei off, "If you hadn't come over suddenly to seduce me to talk, I would have been resting already."

Mr. Fei: "."

Bai Fu was really sleepy, Mr. Fei chatted with her for so long, the emptiness brought about by Xiao Si's absence was instantly filled, and after sending Mr. Fei away, she fell into bed and fell asleep without thinking.

Someone on the other end has insomnia.

Bai Fu's comments today were not too stimulating for him.

He could hear Bai Fu's sincerity when he said that.

He also realizes that he is sometimes passive in terms of feelings, which is related to his living environment and innate arrogance. To be honest, if Bai Fu hadn't spoken out today, he would not have realized that this was a problem at all. .

Thinking of Bai Fu's indifference these days, Mr. Fei suddenly panicked.

At the same time, Gu Ye also suffered from insomnia.

She was worried about her son. For the past two days, when she thought of her young son suffering in such a place, she tossed and turned in pain, and couldn't sleep at all.

Guessing that everyone else was asleep, she got up and got dressed, opened the door and walked out lightly.

She had many doubts in her heart, and planned to go back to Ximiao Village in the dark to scare her mother-in-law again, to see if she could get some useful information.

Because she was afraid of being seen by others, she dared not hold the lamp, so she could only walk in the dark according to her memory.

A few days ago, it rained continuously for several days, and the dirt road in the country was still muddy. Ye Gu was walking towards her house with deep feet and shallow feet. She fell several times on the road and was covered in mud, but she didn't care at all.

When passing by the house next door, Ye Gu heard a strange rustling sound coming from the courtyard wall, she couldn't help but pause, and looked in the direction of the sound.

It's a pity that the wall next door is so high that she can't see anything.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. Your daughter-in-law can't beat you alive, so there's nothing to be afraid of when she dies." A man's voice said with disdain in his tone.

Then there was a blushing sound.

Obviously, behind the wall are two people, a man and a woman.

The next door to Aunt Ye's house was a well-known Zheng widower in the village. His wife died when he was young and his wife never remarried. Because of his simple and honest face, he often gave some of the prey to their neighbors and was willing to help others.

Whoever has a tiring and dirty job, he will never delay calling him, so his popularity has always been good.

But Aunt Ye didn't like him very much, because once she accidentally caught Zheng widower messing with people in a widow's house. She knew that this man looked honest, but he was actually a restless one.

The voice on the other side of the wall became more and more undisguised, accompanied by a woman's shy voice.

Ye Gu was flustered with embarrassment, her heart was beating like a drum, but because of what the man said just now, she didn't lift her foot.

I don't know how long it took, but maybe the man became more and more unrestrained, the woman complained and said, "Okay, I want you to guard me, not to let you mess around like this."

"You're underdressed"

The man retorted dissatisfiedly, with a muffled voice in his mouth, "Aren't you enjoying it too?"

The woman chuckled, and her voice didn't sound young, "You've only been comfortable with other people during the day, but you don't stop at night, don't exhaust yourself."

The woman's voice changed a bit just now, Gu Ye didn't hear it, she just thought it sounded familiar, when she heard this sentence, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

Isn't that the voice of her mother-in-law?
Although her mother-in-law gave birth to two sons, it was not a big problem to support the family with the thin birth left by her father-in-law who died young, so she didn't suffer much. She looked very young and good-looking even though she was a mother-in-law at her age.

In the past, her mother-in-law used to say in front of Aunt Ye that Zheng Widower was too poor to be on the stage, but Ye Gu could never imagine how her mother-in-law would get involved with Zheng Widower.

Ye Gu was so upset that she didn't dare to stay any longer, and ran to her house in a panic, but she searched the house inside and out, but she didn't find her mother-in-law.

After about a stick of incense, her mother-in-law came back, followed by Widower Zheng.

Now Aunt Ye didn't dare to come out to scare people anymore, so she could only hide in the firewood house. After the two of them entered the house, she quietly went out and eavesdropped outside the mother-in-law's house for a while, to make sure that the two of them were really messing around. , before leaving with mixed feelings.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Gu told Bai Fu about this matter, Bai Fu didn't say much after listening, and turned to Xi Nan and told the matter.

"I know, Xi Bei noticed it when Aunt Ye went back yesterday, and followed him all the time." Xi Nan said, "He also found out some other things. I believe this case will be solved soon."

Bai Fu was a little surprised, "Xi Bei has been following? Your master asked him to go?"

Sensing Xi Bei's resistance, Bai Fu intentionally or unintentionally avoided letting these hidden guards do such a thing, so he was surprised that Xi Bei would follow.

Xi Nan nodded.

"The master said that you are very tired recently, and I don't want you to be bothered by these things."

Bai Fu chuckled, "Okay, then thank Xi Bei for me. After all, this matter was caused by my meddling in other people's affairs."

Xi Nan glanced at Bai Fu with a complicated expression.

How did she know that Xi Bei was complaining behind his back?

After finishing this work, Bai Fu obediently waited for Yunqi at home. Yunqi sent someone to send a message in advance that she would come to her directly when she returned to Bailu Town today, and wanted to discuss something with her.

"You, a young lady, went out to inspect the shop, why did you come back like you were fleeing from famine?" Bai Fu looked at Yun Qi who was rushing towards him, very surprised.

Yun Qi drank three bowls of ice drinks from Bai Fu in succession before recovering, and sat down beside Bai Fu.

"Don't mention it, I wanted to go to the border secretly on the way, but my father sent someone to arrest me."

"You want to find your fiancé?" Bai Fu asked with raised eyebrows.

Yun Qi was busy wiping his face and didn't answer, but the answer was self-evident.

Bai Fu couldn't help laughing, "You're going to get married next year, so you can't wait?"

"It's not because of you"

Yunqi said, "You said that there might be a war on the border next spring, so I wrote him a letter asking if we could advance the marriage, but somehow he didn't reply, so I thought about going there myself."
