Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

a few days later.

Mo Che took a group of his men to rest in the forest.

Sun Taiwei has returned to Beijing to return to his command, and he only left a confidant, Tan Xu, by his side to watch the rest.

Tan Xu is already in his early thirties. He has dark skin and big eyes, but he speaks a bit slowly and has a gloomy temper.

When Mo Che received Mr. He's letter from home, Tan Xu was obviously stunned for a moment, and then threw the wooden branch into the fire.

"It's rare to see you receive a letter from home, so why don't you open it quickly and take a look."

"Ah."

Mo Che sat down and opened the letter, but his eyes became more and more gloomy.

Xia Bai'an densely wrote a lot of things about the merchant's experience in it, and vaguely asked him where he was going recently, how was the surrounding environment, and what was the weather like.

He also specifically mentioned that Yun Xuan's whereabouts were unknown, and asked how he was doing.

Until the end, there was only one sentence that was considered a private matter.

"The weather is getting warmer, my children and I are fine, don't worry about it."

Not even a greeting.

Mo Che felt uncomfortable as if his chest was stuffed with a ball of cotton.

It's not even a letter from home.

Impatiently, he put the letter back into the bag, staring at the bonfire in front of him with heavy eyes, full of thoughts.

I thought that the brief parting was nothing to him and Xia Bai'an.

But looking at it now, even if Xia Bai'an is not by his side, there doesn't seem to be any problem...

She always knows how to protect herself and how to keep her home.He even knew about the changes in the court, and even wanted to know some secrets from himself.

She seemed willing to take everything into her own hands except herself.

Isn't he worth Xia Bai'an's concern at all?

Mo Che became more and more anxious, and some dark side began to sprout in his heart, he patted his head instead, and turned to Tan Xu: "Captain Sun passed through so many villages and killed so many people, what exactly are you looking for? "

Tan Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowed down his tone again: "This... is not something you should know. You just need to know that we are just the Taiwei's executioners. Whoever is ordered to be killed by the higher-ups, we can just do it."

Mo Che remained silent.

He doesn't care about these things.

Tan Xu never let him go deep into the village to kill people, he was not trusted by Sun Taiwei, he just watched from afar.

On the way, I will deal with a few bandits smoothly.

As for Xia Bai'an's mention of Song Yuchu's caravan, he did remember that time when he exterminated the mountain bandits and found the remnants of the crime, he came to help. His severed finger fell into the cargo, it was indeed negligence.

Damn!

Why did he think of this heartless woman again?

Mo Che rubbed his forehead with a headache, and the soldiers next to him smiled and comforted him when they saw him frowning after reading the family letter.

"Captain Mo seems to be away from his wife for such a long time for the first time, look at his impatience."

"Don't worry about any family letters that the captain sees. People like us who travel outside can't go back several times a year. The old ladies have long forgotten us. It would be nice if we can miss us still alive."

"No, my wife and I joined the army shortly after we got married. At the beginning, we wrote a letter from our family with a long-lasting relationship, but later we cursed and said that if I don't go back, we will make up with me. There is no limit to the quarrel!"

Everyone speaks up with each other.

But Mo Che only heard the word "heli", and his heart became more and more irritable.

Xia Bai'an...doesn't need him to be by his side all the time, and she doesn't have the reality of husband and wife with herself. If one day, she is tired of herself, wouldn't she want to make peace with him?

No.

Such things are not allowed.

The little voice in my heart was still thinking brokenly.

Mo Che got up impatiently, walked outside, wrote a letter and handed it to his subordinates.

Tan Xu saw everything in his eyes, and ordered his subordinates: "As usual, all his family letters will be blocked."

Concubine Degui had already said that Xia Bai'an and Li Chen were very close.

Even if Sun Minli had no doubts about Mo Che's loyalty now, he couldn't really ask him to write something and send it back to the capital.

……

Beijing.

Spring has come and new shoots are sprouting.

Xia Bai'an sat alone in the courtyard and waited, but the news that Mr. Shi'an Hou He sent was almost the same.

"The captain still didn't reply."

"Know it."

Xia Bai'an couldn't make any waves in his heart.

In the past few days of waiting, her patience has gradually been exhausted.

Afterwards, the out-of-stock merchant saw Mo Che again, and it seemed that the previous turmoil was just a farce.

The prime minister was still trapped in the palace, and the emperor only said that the prime minister fainted in the palace and was being left by the imperial physician to treat his body, so the courtiers outside couldn't ask the emperor about it.

If the prime minister is so down and out, why should the other courtiers rush to make things difficult for him.

The subordinate sent by Mr. He showed helplessness, but said: "However, depending on the time, Captain Mo Che is about to return. Madam, don't worry, it's better to stay in the mansion."

"Ah."

Xia Bai'an rubbed his slightly sore forehead, and ordered someone to send him away.

Except for Wu Yue and a few maids and mother-in-laws in the courtyard, most of the others were away from home. Seeing her, Wu Yue has been unable to raise her spirits for the past few days, so she couldn't help asking: "His Royal Highness Wang An has sent several people over to ask you We completely turned a blind eye to the situation, is it not very good, and Miss Zhang..."

"Qianqian is already avoiding the lord, and will go back to Chizhuang tomorrow, but who is Tang Song?" Xia Bai'an asked.

At this hour on weekdays, Tang Song should be practicing calligraphy in the mansion.

Wu Yue replied: "Tang Song went out with Ms. Zhang and Ms. Li. There are many people in the house. Is it because I need to buy some fabrics, and I have to go to see the prices of various meat and vegetables. I can't let the servants who are in charge of buying take too much money." It’s too oily, let’s inquire first.”

"They are getting more and more capable one by one."

Xia Bai'an smiled.

These days, she only takes care of the cosmeceuticals prepared by Song Yuchu, and other things are basically done for her.

Wu Yue added: "However, there is another incident outside recently, which has caused a lot of trouble."

"what's up?"

"It is said that the youngest daughter of Young Master Qin in Jishitang was sent to the Seventh Prince Li Jie's mansion as a concubine. Before that, many dignitaries came to congratulate her. It was obvious that she was marrying a concubine. There was quite a commotion." Wu Yue said, by the way Grabbed a glass of water to drink.

Xia Bai'an turned a blind eye to her actions, instead he half-raised his cheeks: "There is no one in the Qin family in officialdom, how did this daughter be sent to the prince's side as a concubine?"

"There were rumors before that Yunxue was very close to Tongji Shitang, and some people in the teahouse were talking about it... It was only said that Yunxue didn't care about her father's life or death in the palace, but started to win over the prince and concubine .”

Wu Yue put down the cup, and the next moment she was called by the sacrificial mother-in-law to go to the backyard to look at things.

Xia Bai'an sat alone in front of the stone table.

It's not hard to guess that Yunxue worked so hard to pave the way for a family of medicine, but she couldn't win over the prince and concubine at all, but Ji Shitang could help her do things wholeheartedly.

It may take a long time for Tongjitang to gain a firm foothold in the capital.
