Chapter 522 Warm At That Time (2)

"Who are the people out there?"

"It should be someone from the villa. The servant wanted to ask Qin Mu just now, only to find out that Qin Mu is not there."

Slightly had some bad thoughts, "How many days has it been?"

"The servants don't know either, maybe it's the fourth watch."

The noise outside died down, and only people could be seen in the courtyard lit by the torches.

Someone came up from downstairs, "Ma'am, you hide quickly." Before Wei Qing had time to think, she also hid.

After a while, Caiwei outside said in a low voice: "Madam, it's Qin Mu."

"Qin Mu said that the master is back."

In the courtyard, torches lingered, flickering on and off.

When Ning ran downstairs lightly, he saw several people walking towards the place where the flames were lit, one of them was walking slowly in a white robe.

She was overjoyed, thinking that the man in white was the master.

The master did not see himself.

He paused slightly, as if he was telling the people beside him to speak.

The night wind blew his white robe, and he stood there idly, looking more and more like Zhilan Yushu.

Someone called out, "Madam is downstairs."

Only then did Xiang Chengye slowly raise his head, and he saw the girl standing not far away.

look at each other.

The light of the fire reflected on his high and clean forehead, still warm eyes, and a faint smile.

In the dark of night, it is like a banished fairy.

Gently and involuntarily, she took a few steps forward, and in an instant, she saw clearly that Master was holding a——

child.

Riel is back?
Ning Qingqing's body began to shake like chaff.

She had dreamed of seeing Rui'er countless times in her dreams before, but at this moment, she only felt that her feet were so heavy that she couldn't move.

Just stood there in a daze.

Xiang Chengye seemed to see that she was too excited to restrain herself, so he walked over slowly with the child in one hand.

Under the light of the fire, he saw tears in her eyes, and said lightly, "Gentle, the child is asleep."

Gently nodded, looking at the child in Master's arms, wrapped tightly, not crying or fussing, really fell asleep.

With trembling hands, she stroked the thin quilt wrapped around the child's body, but after all, she did not hug her.

The tears couldn't stop flowing down, she covered her mouth and nose, for fear that she would startle the child by crying.

There was a hand on the shoulder, and a joke came from the ear: "Silly girl, are you too happy?"

*
A child's crying came from the room, and a bowl was broken on the ground.

Ning Qingqing and the maid were coaxing the child in a state of desperation.

She hugged the eight-month-old Rui'er from one end of the room to the other.

Xiang Chengye, who was dressed in white, stood in the outer hall and didn't go in, but he was very anxious.

Rui'er cried day and night, and gently coaxed the child for two days.

When Xiang Chengye rescued Rui'er, Rui'er's nurse had already been poisoned to death, presumably he was afraid that the nurse would tell the truth.

The child's former wet nurse is gone, and now there is no milk to eat, and the child does not eat freshly boiled milk.After being away for more than two months, the child only recognizes the milk, not the mother.

He came out and asked the people around him, "How did the wet nurse find you?"

"Back to the master, it's not easy to find those who are in turmoil. There are a few who can nurse children, but they are far from being good-natured and gentle-looking."

"Then let's see among the nearby mountain people, if there is a nanny with a good temper and a clean birth, find one immediately!"

"Then the subordinates will go first!"

It turned out that Xiang Chengye was thinking about finding a good nanny for the child, but it was not easy to find for a while, but seeing the child crying and being lightly tired, he had no choice but to find an honest peasant woman as an emergency.

The crying in the room had stopped, Xiang Chengye walked in, saw Rui'er in the cradle fell asleep, and gently cuddled up to the side and fell asleep.

The mid-autumn season has passed, but she was still sweating from exhaustion, her sweat-drenched hair stuck to her forehead in disorder, her eyes were closed, and her complexion was very pale.

Thinking that she didn't sleep well last night, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

When Ning woke up gently, she heard a slight chatter and laughter outside.

She suddenly realized that when she was sleeping on the couch, she was covered with a blanket.

The wind blew the wind chimes in front of the door, ringing crisply.

Walking out of the dormitory, I saw Master holding Ruier playing under the wind chime, Ruier stretched out her little hands and babbled.

"Grow up soon and you will be there."

He stretched out his hand to lift Rui'er, and Rui'er grabbed a wind chime, she used all her strength to breastfeed, and the wind chime rattled, crisp and melodious.

Rui'er giggled and danced.

Ning stood there lightly, in a trance, Xiang Chengye was like Rui'er's father.

She whispered, "Master—"

Xiang Chengye turned around, only to see that she had already gotten up, "Rui'er, your mother might as well be obedient to you."

He came over with a slight smile, and wanted to take the child, but Xiang Chengye refused, "Rui'er likes me as a father very much, you should rest first."

"Daddy?" He frowned slightly.

Xiang Chengye said: "How many times have I told you not to call me Master anymore, otherwise why would Rui'er call me Daddy?"

Ning gently covered her mouth and smiled.

She thought about it for the first time.In the past, Master didn't allow herself to call him Master, and she didn't think it was a problem. Now this plan, isn't it a mistake in her generation?

Xiang Chengye turned his head and looked at Qingqing showing a long-lost unburdened smile, the cloud in his heart finally dissipated.

Finally, he said lightly, "Just wait, maybe the wet nurse will come tomorrow."

"I'm not going to give Rui'er to the wet nurse. Rui'er can stop breastfeeding now, and he can eat."

As she said that, she gently brought her favorite hibiscus cake and handed one to Rui'er.

Rui'er gave his mother a lot of face, and took the pastry and happily gnawed it into his mouth. Xiang Chengye couldn't bear to frown, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, Rui'er is not picky about food, that's up to you."

The two smiled, and a word came from outside, "Master——"

"It is said that the fourth master has arrived."

Xiang Chengye paused for a moment, then handed the child to Qingqing, "Qingqing, I'll go out for a while." Before leaving, he kissed Rui'er on the cheek.

Looking at his leaving back lightly, he felt vaguely worried.

The fourth master refers to Qin Wang Xiang Chengyu.

Now that there is a war going on, it is inevitable that she will be worried about her master and Da Chu.

*
In the next two days, Wei Wei vaguely heard that they were going to leave Nan'an County, and that the front line was fighting fiercely.

Nan'an City will soon be lost.

Fortunately, they didn't enter the Chengguan, they were only in the mountains. Could it be that Master had expected this day?
Seeing that the child had fallen asleep, Ning Qingqing saw that the nurse and Caiwei were watching over him, so she took the soup she made by herself and went to look for him in the master's study.

I heard that things have been very busy recently. There are quite a few people coming and going to the villa in the past few days. Most of them are generals of the imperial court. Although she doesn't know them well, she expects that the situation is not good.

The day before yesterday, she also heard from General Qin that the Qi army attacked on three fronts, and although Nan'an County was the main line, it was not the only battlefield, so they should leave Nan'an County immediately.

(After the second update, the plot will change a lot tomorrow.)
