The Male Wife

When Pei Cheng was doing handwork with a piece of wood, his fingertip was cut by the tip of a knife, and a drop of blood fell on the ground immediately. Dong Lai, who was on the side, was almost scared out of his wits when he saw this, so Dong Lai hurried forward to help Wear a bandage.

Pei Cheng looked at Dong Lai helping him to treat the wound, he couldn't laugh or cry, "It's just a small wound, just stop the bleeding, don't need to wrap it up."

Donglai carefully bandaged the wound, and then took away Peicheng's wood and knife. When Peicheng found it, Donglai said with a mournful face: "Madam, please be considerate of us slaves. If the master finds out, he will be angry." Pei Cheng was speechless, and finally could only wave his hands helplessly, and let him go.

Donglai handed over all the wood and knives to the servants, and asked the servants to take them out and hide them, and then specially told the servants not to bring these things in front of Pei Cheng again, otherwise if there was any problem If so, it is they who need to take responsibility at that time, not themselves.

The servants were taken aback by what Donglai said, but they still nodded seriously.

He got it.

Dong Lai took out the book that Pei Cheng had read during this time, placed it on the round table in the yard, and then brought fresh pastries and brewed tea, and said, "Madam, would you like some?"

Pei Cheng took a sip of tea, took another sip of the sweet cake, and then put it down without appetite. Since he started quitting, he has eaten a lot of sweet cakes a while ago, but he got tired of eating, "Don't eat it during this time." I will make sweet cakes again, I don't want to eat them now." The servants removed the sweet cakes.

There were cries from inside the house, Pei Cheng frowned, "Jiang Yan woke up, take him out."

The nanny carried Jiang Yan out, and then carefully placed the crying baby in Pei Cheng's arms, "The young master just woke up, and he wasn't hungry, but he was crying for some reason."

Pei Cheng was very flustered now, he hugged the little guy in his arms, patted his back lightly, and coaxed him, "Have you had a nightmare, or are you scared?"

Jiang Yan gradually settled down in Pei Cheng's arms, and now tears were streaming down her face, she was sobbing in Pei Cheng's arms, her chubby little fingers were tightly clutching Pei Cheng's clothes, and there was a trace of tears in her eyes. Panic and fear.

Pei Cheng pursed his lips.

When I was cutting wood just now, I suddenly felt flustered, and then I slipped my hand and cut my hand. Otherwise, how could Pei Cheng scratch my hand? Pei Cheng wiped the river with a handkerchief. The tears on Yan's face, "Why are you crying?"

Jiang Yan can't speak yet, so how can he tell why he is crying? He just stretched out his chubby little hand aggrievedly, hugged Pei Cheng's head, and rubbed it against Pei Cheng's head in an especially aggrieved way.

Pei Cheng frowned and said, "Why hasn't Jiang Linzhi come back now?"

Donglai said in a low voice: "Master went out and said he would be back later, but he didn't say when he would be back."

"He has been leaving early and returning late these few days. What happened?" Pei Cheng has not had time to communicate with Jiang Linzhi for the past two days. He doesn't know what happened outside. Jiang Yan is still young and needs elders by his side. So Pei Cheng couldn't let go of the child.

"I seem to be busy with the affairs of the City Lord's Mansion, but Ma'am, don't worry, as long as I get involved, the matter will be resolved soon." Dong Lai's tone was full of confidence in Jiang Linzhi.

Pei Cheng naturally knows that there are very few things in this world that will calm the perverted Jiang Linzhi, but he has never seen Jiang Linzhi these two days, and he doesn't know if he got the money from the City Lord's Mansion. Solved, I was still a little worried, "Where has he been all this time?"

Pei Cheng glanced at Donglai, this person didn't know anything, so he didn't bother to ask any more.

Dong Lai, who was dismissed for no reason, felt wronged, but didn't know what to say, so he had to keep his mouth shut. Pei Cheng's attention was soon attracted by Jiang Yan in his arms.

Jiang Yan pestered Pei Cheng to play, giggling and laughing non-stop, not at all the sorrow he had just woken up from.

When Jiang Yanzhi came back, there was only Jiang Yan who was crawling and playing on the blanket on one side of the table at home, and Jiang Yan who was sitting on a chair with a silent face, watching the table full of food without moving his chopsticks. Pei Cheng paused, walked over, and said, "What's wrong with Dad?"

Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Yanzhi in front of him, "Why are you coming back now?"

"I just went to the City Lord's Mansion to find my father."

Jiang Yanzhi said obediently, as soon as he sat down, a servant brought a bowl of rice and put it in front of him.

Pei Cheng frowned and said, "Did you often go to the City Lord's Mansion whenever you have time?"

Jiang Yanzhi nodded and said, "Not often, just occasionally."

"Where are you going?" Pei Cheng picked up a piece of cooked pork knuckle and put it in Jiang Yanzhi's bowl, "Your father has been in the city lord's mansion all this time, isn't the matter of the city lord's mansion not finished yet? "

Jiang Yanzhi ate the meat in the bowl that was piled up into a hill by Pei Cheng, and said, "Daddy, I won't be able to see the food. Yes, my father has been in the city lord's mansion these days, and Chen Fei and Chen Fan have been exist."

"why?"

Pei Cheng panicked, "Could something be wrong?"

Jiang Yanzhi hesitated for a moment, he didn't intend to tell Pei Cheng, and his father had warned him before that he was not allowed to bring up this matter in front of his father, but now that Pei Cheng asked himself face to face, Jiang Yanzhi also It's not good to lie in front of Pei Cheng.

So Jiang Yanzhi could only honestly say: "The remaining half is finished, but the warehouse that was prepared before can't be put in. Now I have to find a safe place to put it again, but I won't be able to find it for a while, so father Been busy with this for the past few days.

"and……"

Jiang Yanzhi glanced at Pei Cheng cautiously, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

"what happened?"

"The housekeeper of the city lord's mansion is gone now. Someone saw him dragging a maid up the mountain before, but he couldn't find anyone this morning. Now my father is angry at the city lord's mansion." Jiang Yanzhi said softly, "Daddy, don't say it's me. Yes, otherwise father will be angry." "What!" Pei Cheng stood up abruptly, "You mean that the butler of the City Lord's Mansion probably found out about this matter, and the butler has disappeared?"

Seeing Pei Cheng's reaction so strongly, Jiang Yanzhi regretted telling Pei Cheng, but now that he has said everything, he has nothing to do, Jiang Yanzhi continued: "Well, now the whole New Southwest can't find it. The butler, the person guarding the city gate said that he did see the butler leaving the city this morning, when someone asked about it, the butler said he was going back to his hometown, so no one continued to ask."

"Then have they sent someone to look for it now?" Pei Cheng couldn't help being flustered. If the imperial capital knew about this matter, it would be really bad luck.

Even if it has nothing to do with them.

"I don't know, but I should go." Jiang Yanzhi said in a low voice. In fact, he hadn't told Pei Cheng that because of Liu San's escape, Shi Tienan was almost strangled to death by Jiang Linzhi on the spot.

If it wasn't for Shi Sanqing and Fade Chen trying their best to stop him, news of the death of the city lord of New Southwest might be reported early tomorrow morning. "Your father is still in the City Lord's Mansion now?" Pei Cheng couldn't sit still, walking up and down the hall. He had been feeling flustered since he got up in the morning. He didn't care about that at first, but now... Pei Cheng was so flustered. numb.

Jiang Yanzhi took Pei Cheng's hand and asked him to sit down and eat something first.

Jiang Yanzhi compulsively put the rice bowl in Pei Cheng's hands, and said, "Father, you don't have to worry, nothing will happen." Pei Cheng lowered his eyes, unable to hide his anxiety, "You will look at Jiang Yan later. , I will go to the City Lord's Mansion."

With a click, the door of the hall was opened, and Jiang Linzhi walked in from the outside, "What are you doing in the city lord's mansion." Pei Cheng almost threw away his job when he saw Jiang Linzhi, "Why are you back? , aren’t you in the city lord’s mansion now?” Jiang Linzhi narrowed his eyes, glanced at Jiang Yanzhi who was complaining, and said nonchalantly, “I’ll be back now that I’m done with my work, let’s eat first.”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Linzhi sat down as if nothing had happened, and the servant brought a bowl of rice and placed it in front of Jiang Linzhi.

Pei Cheng looked at Jiang Linzhi's side face while eating as if nothing had happened, his heart fluttered and he was always worried about something, but seeing Jiang Linzhi's calm appearance, Pei Cheng was very surprised. Calm down again.

Maybe nothing happened.

Pei Cheng comforted himself psychologically.

After eating, Jiang Linzhi asked Jiang Yanzhi to go back to the house first, and then asked the nanny to carry Jiang Yan back. After dismissing the whole room of servants, Jiang Linzhi waved to Pei Cheng and asked him to sit down. on his own lap.

Pei Cheng had no choice but to walk over and sit on the man's lap. He hugged Jiang Linzhi's neck and kissed the man's face. He said softly, "Is something really wrong?"

Jiang Linzhi held Pei Cheng tightly in his arms, "Jiang Yanzhi, what did that bastard tell you?"

Pei Cheng touched the man's face and noticed that the man's aura was not stable. He knew that the man was really angry just now, or that the man was just hiding all his anger and murderous intent.

"He told me a little, but not too much." Pei Cheng subconsciously defended Jiang Yanzhi.

"You don't need to cover him." Jiang Linzhi's tone was cold, but he was not angry, "There is indeed an accident now. But don't be afraid, I will solve the matter soon."

Pei Cheng felt sorry for him, "You have been busy with these these days, and you haven't had time to rest."

Jiang Linzhi can sleep there now, "I'm going out of the city in the middle of the night, and you are waiting for me in Xinxinan."

Pei Cheng was so startled that he almost jumped up, but because his waist was tightly held in his arms by the man, he couldn't move for a while, "Is the matter really so serious that you need to do it yourself?"

Jiang Linzhi didn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, just after Pei Cheng thought he would not speak, Jiang Linzhi said: "I must get rid of this danger as soon as possible."
