Xiao Qian hugged her and consoled her, ”First, things in the court are like a bunch of hemp rope. It's so messy that the less you know, the better.” ”Secondly, I was too preoccupied with worrying about you and your child to think about such a big incident that happened at home yesterday.”

Thankfully, that woman, He Qiniang, had died. Otherwise, he would not have been able to relax and go to war.

Xiao Qian replied, ”Alright, let's not talk about the depressing things. Just talk about the happy things. I'm leaving again tomorrow. I can't even make it back in time for the Spring Festival. I'll take this opportunity to see you a little longer.”

Su Zhi let out a sigh unwillingly, reaching out and hugging the man's strong waist, muttering to herself, ”I had thought that New Spring would be able to stand guard with you, but who would have thought that you would have to leave again.”

Xiao Qian kissed her forehead as he consoled her, ”Don't worry. We still have an endless number of new years to live. We don't care about this one.”

”But I do care, and so does the child.”

When some great general was ready to go all out, not to mention licking his knife with blood, he had to prevent his food from being eaten – careful in everything, cautious in everything, and worried that someone would harm him.

Su Zhi felt uncomfortable just thinking about it.

”That can't be helped. Your husband is a great general of the hussar. He's in his prime, and this matter was caused by my men. If I don't go who else can I go to?”

”Forget it, you are working for the imperial government. You don't have to do this much. I won't mess with you anymore. Go cook dumplings. Tonight, it will be considered as the new year for our family.”

Xiao Qian smiled and pinched her nose, ”Alright, I'll listen to my wife.”

Su Zhi glared at the man. Seeing the trace of gentleness in his deep eyes, she sighed helplessly and did not correct him.

Bi Yue came into the hall with a bowl of dough kneading. Su Zhi then took out the leek pork stuffing that she had already prepared and hurriedly rolled the dough into dumplings.

Xiao Qian curiously looked at the two of them wrapping the dumplings. He thought to himself, ”It's still a woman's skill. This small and exquisite dumpling is something he can't make.”

The man who couldn't help squatting at the side accompanied the two giggling dogs. The small bean bag rolled up its legs, placed the dog on its lap, while Little Fatso grabbed onto the fine fur on the dog's belly.

The puppy whined in pain, its calf glared at the girl, but it didn't dare to open its mouth to bite her.

A Jin helplessly took the small yellow dog from her bosom and stroked its fur with her small hands. She scolded him, ”Little sister, how could you be so naughty? One day, don't let this puppy bite you!”

Xiao Qian laughed in a low voice and rubbed the stupefied face of the little girl, laughing, ”When I was young, I loved to pluck feathers, dogs, and even geese. The most amazing one was when I was chased and pecked by the two geese in the green pond.”

Su Zhi couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing. Did this man think this was a glorious matter and had the nerve to say it out loud?

When A Jin heard this, he burst into laughter. ”Hahaha, then did Uncle Xiao suffer any pain from being pecked by a goose?”

”There is. If your pants are broken, then you won't need to pluck your hair from that place. It would be easier to escape if you change your hair.”

Su Zhi shook her head with a headache. ”Don't talk about your achievements. Be careful of teaching your child.”

The whole family gathered together, laughing happily and harmoniously.

After the dumplings were made and brought to the table, everyone gathered around to eat.

Mother Ding and Dan Xue both woke up, but their wounds were still extremely painful and their movements were difficult to move.

Listening to the laughter from outside, the two of them also felt a lot better.

After a round meal, Xiao Qian helped the two children wash up for the first time ever.

Although this was the first time he had done this, he had done it well. Su Zhi complimented him generously, causing the man to squint his eyes and laugh for a long time.

When the lights were out and they got into bed, Xiao Gan said, ”The injuries of Mother Ding and Dan Xue are not very quick. You have to take care of the children and you also have to take care of the business in the shop. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it. ”Don't worry, those people will come over to help during the day, and we will be back at night.”

Su Zhi nodded. Her heart felt warm. She used to think that Xiao Qian was a dull and boring person who didn't know how to react. Unexpectedly, after being together, this man was gentle and considerate, his thoughts even more thoughtful than her.

”Right, how did that woman He Qiniang escape yesterday? ”It's reasonable to say that she injured her mother and Dan Xue, and that Bi Yue wasn't here. A Jin couldn't do anything to her, so how could she …”

Speaking of yesterday's matter, Su Zhi still felt a lingering fear, but she could not answer Xiao Qian's questions.

”I didn't think too much about it. I just thought that the child was fine, so I didn't care.”

Xiao Qian didn't ask any more questions. He hugged the girl, and rubbed his chin against her forehead. However, his eyes were as deep as a pool.
