Chapter 553 (1/1)

Huai'an is a little closer to the capital than Xindu, less than 500 Li. Yesterday morning, Fu Rong sent a letter to Xu Jin. The bodyguard rode the horses of the western regions to pay tribute and delivered the letter to Xu Jin just after noon.

It took Xu Jin more than a month in his previous life to arrange everything properly and catch up with the capital city that he came back to a small year ago. In this life, his wife was pregnant, and Xu Jin was eager to return home. He also had the experience of disaster relief in his previous life. He knew which officials were worthy of great responsibility and which villages and towns suffered the most serious disaster. Therefore, he could get twice the result with half the effort.

Without Fu Rong's letter, Xu Jin was ready to come back, telling Fu Rong that she wanted to give her a surprise. Now that there was an accident at home, Xu Jin delayed half a day to explain some trivial matters clearly. He rushed back before dawn this morning.

After entering the inner room, Xu Jin did not look at Xie nor Cui Wan. His eyes fell directly on Fu Rong, who was sitting on the bed and was about to put on his shoes.

Fu Rong looked at him and laughed. His eyes were bright, but his face was pale.

Xu Jin's heart sank, quickly walked a few steps will want to stand up Fu Rong again on the bed, as if no one else to train her: ”body discomfort, also move what, obediently lie well.” Then the head also does not return to the ground to order the Furong courtyard's three servant girls, ”sees off the guest.”

The smile on Xie's face froze.

She knew that the nephew did not want to see him all the time, but she didn't expect that Xu Jin would drive people out directly without even saying a word from his aunt.

Cui Wan pulled her sleeve and said with a smile, ”mother, the fourth elder brother and the fourth sister-in-law have not seen each other for more than a month. The fourth sister-in-law is not feeling well. Let's not disturb them and come back another day.”

”Yes.” Xie patted her daughter's little hand, and in a flash recovered her amiable appearance. She said hello to Fu Rong and led Cui Wan away.

When the two of them got into the carriage, Cui Wan's smile couldn't be maintained. Recalling Xu Ling's action of forbidding his mother to approach Fu Rong, he whispered to Xie: ”mother, do you think the fourth brother and her suspect us?”

Xie's face changed and asked her, ”why do you say that?”

Cui Wan whispered: ”my mother wants to help her up. Before she meets her, she is stopped by the servant girl. I guess she told the maid to guard against us. There is also the fourth brother. He has never been so unkind to us before. ”

Xie took her daughter's hand, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile, ”wanwan is too much-hearted. Before the real murderer is found, she can't easily suspect you. Now that the real murderer has poisoned himself, how can she suspect you? It's natural for her servant girls to stop me. When I was pregnant with your brothers, I also told them to be careful. Today, if you were your second aunt, Xu Ling would still stop me. As for your fourth brother, he is in a state of anger when something so serious has happened. Seeing that she looks bad, he is not in the mood to be polite to us when he is worried

Is that right?

Cui Wan is dubious.

Seeing her daughter's face sad, Xie's eyes flashed a regret and jealousy: ”Heaven's good opportunity, let's think of such a clever method, but it's a pity that the six girls have done a bad job.”

Her eldest sister-in-law had a good life. She first became emperor Jiahe's favorite concubine and then gave birth to two sons. Xu Jin was a man of both literature and martial arts, and was highly valued by Emperor Jiahe. Although emperor Jiahe made the Queen's eldest son the crown prince when he ascended the throne, Xu Jin still won a high reputation among the courtiers. Although he was well-known but not feared by Emperor Jiahe, Xu Jin would have a chance to take that seat in the future.

Then the daughter married Xu Jin, now is the princess, may become the queen in the future. If you marry Xu, you can only be a princess.
