Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Qin Liu savored Ma Ang's words carefully, stared into his eyes and asked, "What do you mean, Zhu Yue did this?"

"It should be inseparable from him."

Qin Liu tried his best to calm down his mind.

Zhu Yue sent himself to the grassland, and then transferred Erlang to him. Why?
Are you and Erlang's identities so taboo?

Erlang is just a two-year-old child...

Qin Liu didn't say anything else. He went back to the yurt to pack his luggage, and then approached Old Man Lou: "I'm going to Xuan Mansion to see Zhu Yue. Please help me make arrangements."

Old Man Lou was a little surprised, but he didn't object: "I'll do it now."

The weird dumpling dinner that day brought him and Qin Liu closer psychologically.He felt that the aloof Zhu Yue was a little ignorant, but Qin Liu, who had always been very down-to-earth, made him feel like a close daughter, much better than the maid Xiao Tao who embroidered pillows.

The strange movements of Qin Liu and Old Man Lou were quickly noticed by the little mute.

He found Qin Liu and Old Man Lou and volunteered: "I will take her back to Xuan Mansion. Uncle Lou will also be responsible for the subsequent exchange and transportation of supplies here. There will be a lot of trouble if she leaves."

Old Man Lou's eyes flashed with embarrassment.

He has been very busy recently. He has to be responsible for the overall coordination of the arrival and delivery of each batch of new supplies. It will be really difficult to leave for a few days.

Qin Liu then said: "Uncle Lou, just arrange two people who can connect with Zhu Yue."

Old Man Lou arranged for two guards named Ding Peng and Xu Jian to accompany them, saying they were old men from Baoguo Gongfu and Zhu Yue's confidants.

Nowadays, there is an endless stream of teams transporting supplies from Xuanfu and Dushikou to the grassland. Several simple supply and rest stations have been built along the way, so safety on the road can be guaranteed.

She wouldn't refuse a young mute with good skills accompanying her. Having him was like having an extra life-saving trump card.

An hour later, the light cavalry of four people and eight horses set off like lightning.

This time, Old Man Lou was involved in the horse trade. He came to the nearby property on a first-come-first-served basis and replaced all of them with first-class horses for those who had gone deep into the grassland to negotiate the deal.

Mongolian horses are relatively short in stature but have very strong endurance. They are suitable for long-distance running. They are also very convenient for replenishment. They can just stop and eat grass along the way.

Except for letting the horses rest and graze, the few people drove around day and night, and arrived at Xuanfu three days later.

Guard Ding Peng went to the city to meet up, while Qin Liu and others mixed in with a team transporting horses and slowly entered the Great Wall pass.

At the city gate, heavily armed soldiers carefully check identity documents and even conduct body searches.

Qin Liu looked at the little mute nervously.In her arms was a small dagger given to her by the little mute before setting off, and there was also a short blade stuck in the little mute's boots.

Their identity certificates were obtained by Old Man Lou, so there was no problem.

When they arrived at the inspection gate, a group of soldiers in full armor rushed out of the city gate and took away Qin Liu, Little Mute, Xu Jian and several others who were waiting for inspection.

Qin Liu, Little Mute, and Xu Jian were put into a carriage, wandered around and finally entered a house.

Qin Liu and Little Mute were taken into a small room.

There are many children's toys on the floor of the room. A little boy over two years old is sitting on the carpet, chopping away boredly with a small wooden sword. A boy of twelve or thirteen years old is coaxing to the side: "Young Master, you This nine-link chain is very fun, do you want to try it?"

The little boy took a wooden sword and struck at the nine rings.

Qin Liu walked closer and bent down, calling softly: "Erlang?" The little boy raised his head, glanced at Qin Liu expressionlessly, then picked up his wooden sword and struck a tumbler.

Qin Liu felt sad.The little guy suddenly left the familiar environment and people. Has his personality changed drastically?

She stepped forward and teased the little boy: "Erlang, I am a mother, I am a mother!"

The little boy still had no reaction.

Qin Liu turned to look at the little mute and asked him to try, then took a step back.

The little boy finally burst into tears, feeling aggrieved.

The little mute wanted to hug him, but he struggled away. He got up and threw himself into Qin Liu's arms and cried until he was unconscious.

Qin Liu hugged Erlang and patted him, kissing him softly to comfort him, but secretly cursing the initiator in his heart.

This Zhu Yue is too unreliable!The child is suddenly in a different environment, and there is no familiar adult around him. I think the child must be very scared and collapsed inside.

He was quite sensible and didn't stop him from meeting his child.

Because she missed her child, she traveled all night without much rest. She was exhausted. She suddenly relaxed and felt sleepy immediately.

Erlang cried for a while and was very tired. He held Qin Liu's skirt tightly with his little hands, and there were still tears on his face, and he was about to fall asleep.

The boy on the side was very smart: "Would Madam take the young master to the bed in the back room to have an afternoon rest?" Qin Liu nodded and looked at the little mute beside him.

The young man said to the mute: "Young Master, there is a room next door where you can rest. Please come with me."

Qin Liu looked around at the interior of the room. The decoration here was high-end, somewhat similar to the room she stayed in last time.

There is a big Kang next to the window, and there are tea cups, teapots and snacks on the Kang table.

There is a carpet on the floor, and there are many toys on the carpet, such as tumblers, rattles, nine-link rings, golden abacus, colorful cloth balls, and flower tigers made of cloth. They are all exquisitely made and colorful. At first glance, they look like only the upper class can afford them. s things.

The little mute was relieved when he saw Qin Liu carrying Erlang to lie down on the bed in the inner room. However, he did not follow the boy and rested on the big kang in the outer room.

The group of people slept until dark before waking up. The servant brought them food and gave them a full meal. He said respectfully: "We will arrange for a few people to leave the city and return to the grassland in the evening. Please make some preparations."

Qin Liu became more energetic: "Where is Master Zhu Yue? Is this the other courtyard of Duke Baoguo's Mansion?"

"Go back to my wife, the courtyard of Duke Baoguo's Mansion is on a different street from our courtyard, but there is only a small forest between the backyard and here. Mr. Zhu has been in trouble recently and has no time to come over."

Qin Liu's eyes flashed and asked, "What trouble is he in?"

The young man said with some embarrassment: "The young lady from Dingxihou Mansion has been coming to Xuanfu for a while. Dingxihou passed away a while ago and did not return to Beijing for the funeral. She said she was pregnant, and it was Lord Zhu's. A nobleman happened to come to Xuanfu. Just now, I’m busy solving the case.”

Oh my God, what a huge monster!
Zhu Yue made this young lady pregnant, and now he has to bear the responsibility of being a father?

It’s the noble disciples who know how to play.I really don’t know why a well-behaved person doesn’t have a wife but still has sex with her.

Qin Liu finished his dinner with gusto and had nothing to prepare. He coaxed Erlang to pack a few favorite toys and waited for arrangements to set off.

Qin Liu's mind turned around and felt that the situation was a bit strange.I remember that the last time I came to Xuan Mansion, there was indeed a young lady from the Hou Mansion who wanted to see Zhu Yue. Zhu Yue didn't even let anyone in, so it was obvious that he didn't like her very much. It was a bit strange that he wanted to be a father. (End of chapter)
