Chapter 426

Finally he let out a sigh of relief, and Jing Xing threw all the aftermath work to Jing Yi Jing Er, and he went back to Gui Zhongju after taking a good bath.

Both Qingyu and Hongling were guarding in the bedroom. When they heard the sound of the door opening, they subconsciously became vigilant, their eyes fixed on the direction of the door.

Then, Jing Xing walked around the screen and walked in.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, Qingyu stood up cautiously supporting the edge of the bed, and said: "Young lady didn't sleep well, she just woke up once."

Seeing that Jing Xing was not there, he lay down again without saying anything.

Although she didn't speak, anyone could see that she was unhappy.

Of course, this can't be said to Jing Xing, so as not to embarrass him.

Jing Xing nodded and told them to go down.

The bedroom door was gently closed again, Jing Xing bent over and took off his boots, and didn't lie down in a hurry, just sat on the bed like this, and looked at Xue Shu with his head propped up under the bright moonlight outside the window.

The medicine she drank at night was added with medicinal herbs for calming the mind and sleeping. Although Xue Shu didn't sleep well, she didn't wake up.

Jing Xing looked at her for a long while, and finally bent down, his voice was so soft that it seemed he just sighed: "He has no heart."

Xue Shu in her sleep seemed to feel something about his words, she frowned and muttered something, Jing Xing didn't hear clearly, but it shouldn't be something good.

The next day, when Xue Shu woke up, the surrounding was already empty again.

Today it was time to go to court, so Jing Xing got up early.

Qingyu stood by the bed, saw her wake up and got up quickly: "Girl, Mr. Jing came back late last night, he just left for a while."

Xue Shu was stunned for a while before nodding.

Then she vaguely heard someone scolding her last night, so it shouldn't be a dream.

Fortunately, she also scolded back.

No loss.

-

Today was just a small court meeting and it didn't last long. After Jing Xing and Xue Chen met, they were about to go back to the Hou's mansion quickly, but they were stopped by Xue Yue suddenly.

Not seeing each other for a few days, Xue Yue seemed to have changed a bit. In the past, at least he still had the majesty and aura that a leftist should have, but now, all that is left is exhaustion.

"Father, what's the matter with you?" Xue Chen cupped his hands and called his father, but his tone was not affectionate at all.

Xue Yue seemed to be stung by his distant attitude, he sighed, and said, "Your mother and your sister... are they all okay?"

"Don't worry about my father, the Hou Mansion has taken good care of it," Xue Chen said, "everything is fine."

Xue Yue looked at him with complicated eyes, and said, "Chen'er, I am your father."

"I remember." He was not stupid, how could he forget who his father was?

Although it is better to forget than to remember.

Xue Chen's attitude has always been very distant, he even treats strangers more warmly than Xue Yue, which really makes Xue Yue feel very uncomfortable. He was busy adjusting his mood and did not speak for a while.

In such a short time, Xue Chen became impatient: "Father, if there is nothing important, I will leave first."

Now, Xue Yue didn't bother to adjust his mood anymore, and hurriedly said: "You child, you weren't so impatient before, oh...that's all, I just want to tell you that since Shu'er is fine now , when you go back today, discuss it with your mother and come home."

"Go home?" Xue Chen raised his eyebrows, "Father, the Hou Mansion is our home."

This time, Xue Yue was completely enraged, and he didn't care that this was in public, let alone that the people coming and going here were all his colleagues in the officialdom, so he said loudly: "Xue Chen, your surname is Xue! Your sister also The surname is Xue! You actually said that the Lu family is your family? Do you take my father seriously!"

"What are you arguing about!" Before Xue Chen could speak, a very impatient voice came in, "Above the Golden Luan Hall, you are allowed to be unrestrained!"

As soon as the voice came out, Xue Yue, who had managed to gain some momentum just now, suddenly froze again: "...Brother."

"Big brother! Don't yell!" Zhenbeihou snorted coldly, "What's wrong with my Lu family? Chen'er has grown up to this day, but you have put half of your effort into him! Food and drink are useful, no It's all managed by my younger sister! Even when the child is older, we are the one who is looking for Mr. in the Marquis Mansion. What did you do? Now that the child is older, he knows that this is your family, so why did you go?!"

Zhenbei Hou had nothing else but a loud voice.

Big thief.

With his yelling, many people stopped and stared at Xue Yue with strange eyes.

Xue Yue felt uncomfortable from this look, he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Brother, don't talk about it, this is all our own business, don't let outsiders watch the excitement for nothing!"

Zhenbei Hou snorted coldly, and really stopped looking at him, and called Xue Chen to leave quickly, as if avoiding the plague god.

Uncle and nephew together with Jing Xing, the three of them hurried out of the hall, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they were stopped by the fourth prince who was walking towards them.

"Young Master Jing, what a good trick." The fourth prince smiled, and opened his mouth with an inexplicable sentence, which made Zhenbei Hou look at him a lot.

However, Jing Xing himself knew what the fourth prince was talking about, and so did Xue Chen.

"Why did your Highness Fourth say that?" Jing Xing raised his eyebrows, showing a trace of just right confusion on his face.

Xue Chen clicked his tongue twice in his heart.

Pretended to be confused, but let this kid understand.

The fourth prince was still smiling, but he gritted his teeth as if he had squeezed out the words he said: "Don't Mr. Jing know about such a big thing that happened last night?"

"Last night? Did something serious happen last night?" Jing Xing glanced at Xue Chen.

Xue Chen quickly thought about it carefully, then shook his head seriously: "I don't know."

The fourth prince smiled, took another step closer, and lowered his voice so low that only a few people could hear him: "Young Master Jing, for a woman, what?"

"The more I listen to the words of the Fourth Highness, the more confused I become." Jing Xing narrowed his eyes slightly, the cold light in his eyes flickered, but he concealed it very well, and there was still only confusion on his face, "I was in the Hou Mansion last night. Going out, I don’t know what the Fourth Highness’s words mean?”

Seeing that the daze on his face didn't seem to be a disguise, the dazed man became the fourth prince: "You really don't know?"

"...What should I know?" Jing Xing asked sincerely.

The fourth prince lowered his head slightly and pondered for a while.

That's right, he sent the secret guards and Jianghu organization to that matter back then, so he probably wouldn't have left any clues. People in the Jianghu should be more meticulous in their work, and it makes sense for Jing Xing not to know.

Then last night, all the hidden guards in his yard were slaughtered, could it really have nothing to do with Jing Xing?

But if it really has nothing to do with him, why did Mr. Zhu in the house say so firmly that it was him?
It seems that he has to go back and make sure.

So the fourth prince cupped his hands, said something offensive, then turned and left in a hurry.

Looking at his back, Zhenbeihou was still bewildered.

Xue Chen and Jing Xing exchanged looks and smiled slightly.
