C65 (1/2)

While Su Zhi was in a trance, a giggle came from outside the courtyard.

She hurriedly went out to check. When she saw that her daughter was carrying a tall and mighty man, revealing two rows of front teeth, she smiled extremely happily.

The man who was entangled by the little girl didn't have the slightest dislike for her. He picked her up and put her in his arms to tease her.

That's right, the person standing outside was no one else but a fully dressed Xiao Qian.

Su Zhi jumped in shock and hurriedly went forward to greet him, ”General, why are you here?”

Xiao Qian was getting more and more familiar with how to carry children. The small bean bag was resting on his shoulder without the slightest discomfort.

”I came to see you.”

Look at the ground?

Xiao Qian pointed at the empty space not far from Su Zhi's door and said with a half-wry tone, ”The Emperor bestowed upon me a mansion and told me to find a place to build it myself. I've taken a fancy to this place.”

Huh? How could he have taken a fancy to such a lousy place?

It seemed that the idiotic official who Aunt Bai complained about yesterday was Xiao Qian himself?

”Xiaosu, can you see this?”

Liu Yuan's question came from inside the house. Su Zhi then hurriedly turned around and entered the house. Seeing that the broken parts had been repaired, the bricks and tiles fit together extremely well. There was no need to worry about leakage of water during a rainy day.

”Very well, thank you very much. Big Brother Liu is truly a great craftsman. You must have worked hard. Come down quickly. ”

Aunt Bai pulled on Su Zhi's sleeve and asked, ”Little Su, I didn't hear wrong just now, right? Why did Little Dou Zi call that Daddy outside?”

Su Zhi's expression froze and became somewhat embarrassed. ”It's like this. Didn't I go find my husband earlier? He died in battle, unlucky. It was that general who took us in. Perhaps Little Dou Bao thought he looked like my late husband and mistook him. ”

Aunt Bai suddenly nodded.

However, he felt that something was amiss, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Xiao Qian had ridden over to check on the situation of the land and the construction process. Actually, he didn't need to worry about that. The craftsmen who built the house were from the royal family, and had high craftsmanship and meticulousness.

But he just had to come, and he even came up with a grand excuse.

When he rode over from afar, he saw the man on the eaves of Su Zhi's room. He thought he was the craftsman she had hired to repair the house.

However, when Xiao Qian saw that man, he realized that he was wrong.

The man called Liu Yuan was tall and big. Although he had experienced some hardships, from a man's perspective, he could be called a real man. What made Xiao Qian uneasy was that when the man was facing Su Zhi, there was a ball of fire hidden in his eyes.

Liu Yuan carried the wooden ladder out and saw Xiao Qian. Although he wasn't from a wealthy family, he could tell that Xiao Qian was extraordinary.

Both sides were silent. Liu Yuan was the first to open the conversation, ”Who is this?”

Su Zhi took the bean bag from Xiao Qian's arms and said calmly, ”This is our neighbor, Great General Xiao.”

”So it's General Xiao. I've heard a lot about him.”

Liu Yuan carried the wooden ladder on his shoulder. It was inconvenient for him to clasp his hands together in a bow and give him a friendly smile.

Xiao Qian nodded and didn't say anything else.

Su Zhi only introduced Xiao Qian, but didn't explain where Liu Yuan came from. This inexplicably made Xiao Qian uncomfortable, seeing Su Zhi carrying the child and leaving with Liu Yuan.

He pulled her back and asked in a low voice, ”Who is he?”

There was a hint of uncontrollable unhappiness in his tone. It seemed that Su Zhi had done something to let him down.

”General, are you asking about Brother Liu?” He's Uncle Liu's nephew. ”

They only explained their kinship, but did not explain the reason why the man had come to Spring Leaf Lane.

Xiao Qian felt even more uncomfortable as he let her go.

Seeing that everyone had left, A Jin ran out from the other side of the door and grabbed his clothes. ”Uncle Xiao, you're here.”

Xiao Qian squatted down to rub his little head and gently smiled, ”What happened to A Jin? She doesn't look too happy.”
