Three days passed in a flash, and when Xia Shang woke up, he found himself sleeping in the Qin Mansion in Yangzhou City.
His wife Huairou was standing by his side.
She looked haggard and tired, and only when she saw Xia Shang wake up did her face bloom with a flower-like smile.
Her cold right hand was placed on Xia Shang's forehead, and her left hand gently pressed Xia Shang's left hand, with a concerned look on her face: "Husband, are you awake?"
"Madam, I..."
"Husband, don't move, your injury."
Xia Shang moved his body subconsciously, and suddenly felt a slight pain coming, which made people frown uncontrollably. Fortunately, Qin Huairou was gently pressing the pierced left hand, and the pain must have been more intense.
Perhaps because of the familiarity and trust between each other, Xia Shang did not have too many emotional fluctuations when he saw Qin Huairou for the first time, but was very curious about his recent experiences.
"I... How come I'm here? I remember... I should be with my little master..."
Thinking of what happened in Xiaoqingshan, Qin Huairou frowned: "Husband, you left with that woman and didn't come back for a whole night. It was not until dawn that I took people to find you in the mountains. At that time, you had fainted. I don't know what that woman did to you. It seems that you were bewitched and you couldn't wake up. I was so worried."
Speaking of sad things, Qin Huairou couldn't help crying like a little woman, and her slender jade fingers kept playing with the tears in the corners of her eyes.
"Madam, stop crying. I'm fine now, aren't I?"
"It's fine now. What if that woman pesters you again next time and uses some seductive tricks to hurt you again?"
"This... it wasn't my little master who did this to me."
"My husband, I don't want you to see her again."
With a bit of blame, the wife beside the bed looked very charming, with seven parts of worry and three parts of jealousy, she looked even more charming.
Seeing his wife like this, Xia Shang's heart melted: "Okay, okay, I won't see you if I don't want to."
After he finished speaking, he silently added in his heart: "I'm afraid I can't see you even if I want to?"
At this moment, the conversation between Ye Xiaoqingshan and Yue Haitang gradually emerged in his mind. He vaguely remembered that at the end of the conversation, the other party suddenly attacked him and made him faint.
Xia Shang knew that the other party wanted him to disappear silently, but in a half-conscious state, Xia Shang still vaguely remembered the last sentence Yue Haitang said in his ear.
"Give me back the flowers, you gave me this."
What kind of woman is Yue Haitang?
Xia Shang may not have the chance to understand her anymore, the fundamental reason is that he is not qualified.
The other party is the high and mighty Shuiyue Fairy, but he is a mediocre small businessman. How can he understand her?
"Husband, what are you thinking about?"
"No...nothing." Xia Shang quickly gathered his mind. At this moment, he must follow his reason and cherish the person in front of him. This is the most correct choice.
As for Yue Haitang...
Perhaps it is destined to be a beautiful encounter.
"Can I get up and walk around?"
"Husband, it is better to rest more."
"I have been sleeping in bed for several days. If I don't move, my bones will be loose. Madam, help me."
Xia Shang stubbornly chose to get up.
Qin Huairou couldn't be more stubborn than Xia Shang, so he had to do it. In the meantime, he put on his husband's coat and talked about where he was now.
Hearing that he was in the Qin Mansion, Xia Shang also became curious.
What are the madam's family like?
This has never been mentioned before. What about the Qin Mansion, which is quite famous in Yangzhou City? It is worth a serious look.
In fact, the Qin Mansion is no different from an ordinary official residence. It does not look rich and noble, nor does it look down and out. In short, it looks like a wealthy family. There are all the things that should be in the mansion. The family is also very prosperous. The entire Qin Mansion occupies half of the street.
The courtyard where Xia Shang lives is a very remote courtyard in the Qin Mansion. It is quiet and no one disturbs it.
Outside the house is a small open space. There are many sword marks on the walls, the ground, and even the trees. At a glance, you can tell that someone has been practicing swords here for a long time.
Needless to say, this person must be Qin Huairou.
Xia Shang walked a few steps to get used to the fresh air, and then said, "It's time to go meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
"My husband's injury has not healed yet, why not change the date?"
"No need."
So, Qin Huairou led Xia Shang through two carved corridors, and then through a large courtyard with red lacquer treasures, and arrived at the main hall of the Qin Mansion.
There were no guests in the Qin Mansion today, the door of the hall was open, and there were no servants waiting outside.
Qin Huairou took her husband and prepared to go in directly.
But just as he was about to walk to the door, he heard a man's voice in the hall: "Brother, how can this be possible? A married daughter begged her family to save her husband, and her family mobilized a large force, even alarming the old man! I believe you have heard these days that the younger generations of the Qin family are dissatisfied and say that the eldest brother is unfairly serving as the head of the family!"
Another person said: "Not only the younger generations of the family are dissatisfied, but also the former family generals of our old Qin family are dissatisfied. What they want is to defend the country, not to fight for their children's personal feelings."
"Brother has helped the Xia family more than once or twice. Married women The water is spilled. Qin Huairou is just using the Qin family. She comes to the door when something goes wrong, but she is not attentive when nothing happens. Look, brother, now that we have rescued the girl surnamed Xia, has she ever thought about our kindness? "
Qin Huairou is not a woman who can keep her temper. When she heard this conversation outside the house, her face turned red with anger, and she shouted at the door: "Huairou remembers every bit of the kindness of my family to Huairou, and remembers it clearly. I am not an ungrateful person!"
Qin Huairou did not expect to appear suddenly, and several people in the hall were a little embarrassed.
There were eight people in the hall. In addition to Qin Feng, there were Qin Huairou's uncles and cousins, representing the direct lineage of the Qin family.
Usually, these people rarely get together, but when they get together, they have something important to discuss.
All the people present are Qin Huairou's uncles, but the uncles are gossiping about a younger generation behind his back, and the younger generation happened to hear it.
No matter who it was, they all looked embarrassed.
The appearance of Qin Huairou and Xia Shang caused a brief silence. After a while, someone whispered, "It sounds nice, but there is no response. She comes to her mother's house from time to time to ask for money and do things. Now you have the nerve to question us?"
"Uncle San! What do you mean? When have I ever come to our house to ask for money?"
"Huairou, don't yell at me. Uncle San is just talking about the matter and saying what your uncles want to say."
"Hey hey hey! Old San, what are you talking about!" Someone scolded.
This person is Qin Song, the second son of the Qin family and the younger brother of Qin Feng.
"Huairou is a junior, and it is not her problem no matter what she does. However, as the head of the family, the eldest brother has obvious deviations in handling family affairs. This is a life-threatening problem, so we must gather the brothers to talk about it."
