Madam, she is delicate and frail, and she must be pampered by the sinister prince.

Chapter 23 But she is really afraid of being left out and wants to please others.

Xie Chongxiao has been handling official business in the county government office for the past half day. It was very hot here in the afternoon, and the man's cheeks were covered with sweat.

Xu Di watched from the sidelines, but his attempts to dissuade him were of no use.

When the Marquis is acting like this, the wife doesn't come to persuade him, but instead gets into trouble while the Marquis is doing business.

The Marquis is vigorous and resolute in his work. When has he ever delayed for a woman?I was afraid that Madam would make the eldest princess unhappy again, so I took her with me this time.

The Marquis is really attentive to his wife.

But what about Madam?

Xu Di already had a bad impression of Nie Huating, who would cause trouble if he didn't follow the rules, and now he even thinks that Nie Huating is ignorant.

How could Mr. Hou marry such a woman in the first place?

"Did the Marquis and Madam quarrel?"

Xie Chongxiao did not raise his head: "Who said that?"

Who needs to say this?

Xu Di cleverly avoided the topic, "The Marquis is handling official business, and it is very inconvenient for Madam to be here. Why not wait until evening and send Madam back to Zhuangzi?"

When Xu Di said these words, the room fell silent.

He carefully observed Xie Chongxiao's face. It was indeed humid and hot here, and his wife, a daughter, couldn't bear it.

Moreover, hasn’t Madam been having trouble with Mr. Marquis these days?

After a long time, a man's voice sounded: "No need."

Xu Di was stunned for a moment, then responded: "Yes.

The originally quiet county government office suddenly became lively, which was particularly different in this long and sultry afternoon.

Xie Chongxiao worked seriously and did not raise his head.

Xu Di looked at Xie Zhongxiao and walked out angrily.

Mr. Hou likes to be clean most of the time, but this Ruyang County government office is so chaotic!
Xu Di came to the yard full of anger, but the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded.

The neatly dressed young woman rolled up her sleeves and scooped porridge for the guards and government servants, with a smile on her face.

After getting closer for a few minutes, that person turned out to be Nie Huating!

Madam... is actually working for a group of big bosses?

Perhaps because of the hot afternoon, Nie Huating's cheeks were sweating and flushed, and a section of his whitened arms was exposed in the sun.

Xu Di took a few more glances, not believing his own eyes.

He originally wanted to leave quickly, but unexpectedly he was discovered by a woman.

"Brother Xu, the weather is hot, why don't you also have a bowl?" Nie Huating spotted him and smiled sweetly.

Xu Di: "."

He turned around and smiled sheepishly, subconsciously saying no.

"There are several guards. Brother Xu doesn't accept my favor. Are you dissatisfied with me?" The woman looked at him with a smile.

Xu Di always felt that Nie Huating's smile could see through him.

Forget it, if it reaches the ears of the Marquis, I'm afraid he will be reprimanded.

Xu Di had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

Nie Huating glanced at him and spooned the mung bean porridge in his hand to him. When he looked carefully, he saw that the boy's ears were slightly red.

Xu Di felt a little uncomfortable: "Thank you, madam."

"You are Welcome."

Xu Di returned to the door of Xie Chongxiao's room with the porridge, hesitating for a moment whether he should go in or not.

Suddenly I heard a man's faint voice: "What's going on outside?"

"Oh, Madam and Master Yao's wife have made porridge and are sharing it with the brothers."

There was suddenly no sound in the door, and Xu Di suddenly had a lightbulb in his head!

Why didn’t Madam prepare anything for Mr. Hou?

Realizing the seriousness of this problem, the porridge in Xu Di's hand suddenly became hot to the touch, and he quickly glanced at his silent master.

When Xie Chongxiao heard Xu Di's words, a light flashed in his eyes and he paused, "I know."

Xu Di breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Marquis didn't take it to heart.Since Lord Marquis didn't take it to heart, he could eat it with peace of mind.

Well, I didn’t expect Madam’s craftsmanship to be quite good.

After Xie Chongxiao read the official document, he stood up and his eyes inadvertently fell on the scenery outside the house.

The sun was dazzling outside the door, and the fair-skinned woman stood out among the group of people.

Nie Huating was joking with the people next to him, his eyes crooked.

Nie Huating shared the porridge with everyone, but did not give it to Xie Chongxiao.

Even Mrs. Yao noticed this and couldn't help but advise: "Why don't you give it to Mr. Marquis? He might not drink it from others."

"Let someone deliver it, it doesn't make any difference."

Mrs. Yao sighed. She couldn't tell that the two of them were having trouble.

But she can also see that Nie Huating is not someone who gives in easily.

Nie Huating slept in Mrs. Yao's room for two days. She ate the food cooked for her by Mrs. Yao every day, and went to the yard to pick vegetables when she had nothing to do.

She forced herself not to think about the rejection that day, and looked forward to the day when she would have the courage to start over.

Mrs. Yao stayed with her for a day, and she could tell that Nie Huating had something on his mind.

The Marquis and her family went out to do errands in the afternoon and didn't say when they would be back.

Mrs. Yao hesitated again and again: "Good sister, can you tell me what you want to eat tonight and I can cook it for you?"

Nie Huating was stunned for a moment, then smiled at her.

"I want to eat the bad goose cooked by my sister, okay?"

"Okay!" Mrs. Yao agreed quickly and was happy to see that she was willing to eat. "To tell you the truth, my family also likes to eat the bad goose I cook." He held her hand again and said, "We women want it even more. Think clearly for yourself and live your own life comfortably. Don't be harsh on yourself. Even if your husband doesn't give you his whole heart, you still have to live a good life. Look what I'm talking nonsense." Mrs. Yao knew that she said the wrong thing, " Just rest a little longer and you’ll have something delicious to eat when you wake up.”

Nie Huating nodded.

It would be nice for her to stay with Mrs. Yao for a few days.

Such heart-warming care always makes her truly attached to him.

She is a coward, sensitive and suspicious, and she dare not go any further after reaching this point.

A proud person like Xie Chongxiao has done enough.

But she was afraid of being left out, and thinking about what happened that night, she always felt that she had acted too hastily.

In this case, she calmed down and gave each other some time.
-
After Xie Chongxiao came back, he changed his clothes. The yard was quiet, and the man asked, "Where is she?"

This stumped Xu Di. Madam has not been resting here these days, so the Marquis only asked now.

"Madam, you should have dinner with Mrs. Yao, Master Yao is also here."

Xie Zhongxiao paused, and the dark color in his eyes could not be cleared away.

He didn't answer, and Xu Di didn't know what the Marquis was thinking.

He originally thought that his wife's moving out would have no impact on the Marquis, but now that he thought about it, the Marquis was obviously in a good mood when his wife was here.

Xu Di asked cautiously: "Why don't you, Lord Marquis, go take a look?"

Time froze for a moment, and Xu Di thought that Xie Chongxiao would definitely not be able to speak.

The man turns around.

"go."

Xu Di was stunned and quickly followed.

He didn't know what happened, but looking at it now, it looked like the Marquis had lowered his head?

It was extremely hot in the county government office. Nie Huating and the others set up a table for dinner in the courtyard. Mr. Yao even brought a small jar of wine from home.

"You don't even know that the thief thought he could run out. His eyes were darting around. Then when he came out, he fell into an ambush by the Marquis." Mr. Yao laughed so hard that he fell. That makes a person fall off his back hahahahaha!"

Nie Huating listened to Master Yao telling the story of how they eliminated bandits, while drinking in the breeze, laughing until tears came out.

The banditry in Ruyang County is rampant, and now that it has been solved, Mr. Yao is not happy.

"The Marquis just drew his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot the man's arm directly. The man grimaced in pain and knelt on the ground!"

Master Yao really admired the Marquis for his decisive killing without hesitation.

Nie Huating seemed a little drunk, his face was flushed with a slight smile.
