I heard my wife is a man

Chapter 39

Before Meng Ruhu left, he was about to say hello to Chi Yong, but when he stood at the door, he heard the sound of the washbasin falling on the floor, as well as Chi Yong's distressed words.

"Xu'er, are you hurt?"

"I'm fine." The late reply was sarcastic, as if treating a stranger bluntly.

Meng Ruhu frowned when he heard this, Chi Xu could speak warmly to everyone, but he was always indifferent to his father, refused to give the slightest concern, and sometimes there was jealousy in his eyes.

Meng Ruhu didn't know the reason for this, he opened the door and saw that Chi Xu's coat was wet, and the ink spots on the cuffs faded and became more conspicuous.But Chi Xu didn't seem to notice, and wiped the water on the ground restlessly.

"Uncle Chi, don't move. This kid usually only knows how to run outside, and he doesn't know how to be filial to you. Let him do the things of being a filial son today." Meng Ruhu strode over, helped Chi Yong lie down again, and smiled. said comfortingly.

"Hey..." Chi Yong sighed leisurely, his kind eyes were full of distress, he followed Chi Xu's figure all the time, and when Chi Xu wiped the floor clean, he finally couldn't help but say, "Xu'er, you go first Change your clothes and have a good rest, I will ask others to take care of you."

"You think I'm clumsy in serving you, don't you?" Chi Xu shook the rag and laughed contemptuously.

These words stunned Chi Yong, all the words of explanation were stuck in his throat, his tired face was full of sadness, those red eyes at the corners of his eyes kept chasing the back of Chi, and his heart ached until he couldn't see him hang down.

Chi Xu clearly felt Chi Yong's desire to explain and his momentary bewilderment, but he never stopped, and the action of closing the door was unusually rough, with a feeling of venting his anger inside.

Seeing the estrangement between the father and son, Meng Ruhu could only sigh in his heart.It is because Chi Yong pampers Chi Xu too much and neglects to teach him that Chi Xu has no respect and does not know how to be grateful.

"Master, before it's dark, you should go back earlier so that Madam won't worry about it. The road at night is not safe, so be careful on this road." Chi Yong suppressed the disappointment in his heart, and told Meng Ruhu.Although he knew that Meng Ruhu was highly skilled in martial arts and that no one in this town could hurt Meng Ruhu, he couldn't help reminding him every time.

"Uncle Chi, don't worry about me. I dare to walk in the middle of the night in the capital. What's a mere small road." Meng Ruhu laughed boldly, and the pace of leaving was not slow.It's only been half a day since we parted, and he is also very concerned about Qi Lian in his heart, and he doesn't know if Qi Lian is eating well, and a person who is already thin is still clamoring to eat less to lose weight.

Thinking of Qi Lian, Meng Ruhu felt like returning home. When he went out, he saw that Chi Xu had changed his clothes, and was standing at the door with a cold face holding a jar of wine. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Young Master Chi, is this going to drink away your worries?"

Chi Xu was not angry when he was laughed at, his usually coquettish and arrogant eyes were half closed at the moment, showing a bit of fragility, and said with a wry smile, "Have a glass of wine with me."

"I have to hurry back, otherwise it will be dark and it will be difficult to go." Meng Ruhu pushed the wine jar handed over, watched the servants lead the horse and immediately turned on the horse, raised the whip in his hand and loudly persuaded Chi Xu , "As a child, you should serve your parents, and don't wait until the day when the child wants to support his relatives."

Chi Xu obviously didn't listen to this advice, he spread his shoulders indifferently, poured himself a glass of wine, and laughed heartlessly, "I'm looking forward to that day."

"Don't regret it in the future." Meng Ruhu warned sharply, he really couldn't bear these wolf-hearted words, so he stopped persuading him immediately, raised his whip and left quickly.

Standing at the door, Chi Xu showed a strange smile, slowly sipped the wine in the glass, looked at Meng Ruhu's back and asked softly, "After tonight, will you still like an unclean person?"

The wind blew his voice away, but Meng Ruhu didn't hear him, he only wanted to go back to see Qi Lian as soon as possible.

He didn't see him all afternoon, which made Qi Lian very worried. Even though Meng Ruhu had told him that he would not come back at night, he still looked at the foot of the mountain countless times, hoping to see the waiting figure.

Seeing that it was getting dark and the distance he could see was getting shorter and Meng Ruhu didn't come back, Qi Lian was worried. After dinner alone, he walked around the gate of the courtyard with braised pork in his arms.

Walking back and forth absent-mindedly, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of a letter on the ground.Qi Lian felt strange in his heart, he walked back and forth no less than ten times just now and didn't see this letter, but this meeting suddenly appeared, and the letter also said 'Qi Lian's relatives'.

These words are not like Meng Ruhu's handwriting, Qi Lian has never seen the owner of these words before, after hesitating for a while, he finally picked up the letter and opened it.After reading the contents of the letter clearly, Qi Lian's shocked fingers trembled, and the thin piece of paper could hardly be squeezed.

There are only two short lines in the letter, "Why doesn't Madam dare to recognize Qi Yu as her younger sister, and wait for Madam in the bamboo forest in Houshan when I apply for it."

Qi Lian's heart was pounding, he kicked the letter into his arms in a panic, and subconsciously looked around, except for the guards not far away, he couldn't see anyone else.

This letter was like a huge rock, disturbing Qi Lian's mind. Although he didn't recognize the handwriting on the letter, he could accurately name Qi Yu and knew that he and Qi Yu had met, except Chi Xu. Can't think of anyone else.

Qi Lian didn't dare to stay outside, and hurried back to the room with the braised pork in his arms. When he passed by the guards, his uneasy expression caught the attention of the two guards.

Huang Mo and Di Fou looked at each other, and one of them immediately left to check the situation.Huang Mo checked around for a while, but found no other people, but found two footprints on the wall, which should be traces caused by someone lurking here for a long time.

"Madam's accident may have something to do with the owner of those footprints. Tianji and Xuan Yi will come to change shifts later, and ask Xuan Yi to follow Madam secretly. Don't make any mistakes." Huang Mo said seriously to Di Fou, although there is no danger at present. , They dare not take it lightly.

"Xuan Yi's lightness skill is the best, and it's most suitable for him to follow." Di Fou nodded with the same serious expression.

The conversation between the two was extremely quiet, and the movement of their lips was almost invisible if you didn't look carefully.

Qi Lian has no time to pay attention to the movement outside the house, because of the letter, he will feel flustered and restless in the room.Judging from the current situation, he can't judge how much Chi Xu knows, and whether his male body has been exposed.If he informs Meng Ruhu of this matter later, his dream may be about to be shattered.

Qi Lian was afraid of this outcome, he didn't dare to face Meng Ruhu's disappointment and anger, this time the appointment in the bamboo forest had to go, even if it was the other party's trick.

The guards outside the house had changed shifts, Qi Lian tried to calm himself down after destroying the letter, and went out as if nothing had happened.When passing by the guards, Qi Lian was worried about being stopped, and had already thought about the reason for going out so late in his heart, but Tianji and Xuanyi didn't change their expression, they still stood coldly, and didn't ask any more questions.

Qi Lian's tense mood was relieved for a moment, and he felt inexplicably empty, he hesitated and explained, "I'm not feeling well, go get some medicine from Dr. Lu."

"Madam, go early and come back early." Xuan Yi replied seriously.

Qi Lian nodded hastily, suppressed the panic in his heart and walked at his usual pace, and ran as soon as he was out of the sight of the guards, completely oblivious to the black shadow not far behind him.

Running all the way to the place specified in the letter, Qi Lian's back was already covered in sweat, which would be blown by the cold forest wind, causing goose bumps all over his body.

Under the cover of the night, the empty bamboo forest gave off a sense of eerie and strangeness. Qi Lian could only see the situation at close range by the faint moonlight. Apart from him, no one else could be seen in the forest.Qi Lian's whole body was like a taut string, carefully slowing down his breathing.

A bamboo leaf quietly fell and fluttered down, Qi Lian was so frightened that his heart tightened and he almost screamed out.Swallowing, Qi Lian forced himself to calm down, he must not lose his footing before that person appeared.

Time passed by little by little, and seeing that the appointed time was approaching, the person who wrote to invite him never showed up. Qi Lian was waiting anxiously like a prey in a cage. The uneasiness grew stronger.
