Xiao Sa returned to Beijing with the army and held a prisoner offering ceremony at the Meridian Gate. He was left in the palace to question him and stayed for snacks. When he returned home, it was already dusk.

The family had been waiting at the gate for a long time.

When he got off the horse, he saw Chen Muqing standing behind the two children with a smile at a glance.

He stood quietly under the big red lantern, his face still white, his eyes still bright, and his smile still cheerful... Everything was so familiar, just as if their separation was just a moment of turning around.

"Mu Qing!" He couldn't help but shout the name engraved in his bones.

The temperament is calm, the eyes are gentle, and the manners are calm... The man in front of him is both strange and familiar. What is familiar is the look he looks at himself, and what is strange is the majesty condensed by the confidence revealed between his eyebrows.

Xiao Sa... seems to have changed a little more...becoming more mature...

She looked over.

The two of them were tangled in the air.

The world fell silent in their eyes, leaving only each other's watch.

"Grandma, grandma," one was inside the door and the other was outside the door, staring at each other, but without saying a word. Yingfen became anxious, "The fourth wife is still waiting for her to pay her respects!"

Chen Muqing came to his senses and smiled at Xiao Sa to bless him.

Eleventh Master had already walked over: "Brother, I'm looking forward to you. Today I must be very tired. My mother has been thinking about you..." As she said that, she wanted to take Xiao Sa's arm. Who knew that the horse beside Xiao Sa raised her front hooves and neighed, which scared Eleventh Master and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"This Ma Lie cannot get close to ordinary people." Xiao Sa explained with a smile, throwing the reins to the servant beside him, then dusted his clothes and walked forward with big strides.

Master Eleven was stunned for a moment, came to his senses, rushed up quickly, and walked into the door with Xiao Sa one after another.

"Brother Seven!" Huang saluted Xiao Sa.

Xiao Sa nodded, looked at Chen Muqing, and instantly turned into a pool of water.

For some reason, Chen Muqing felt his cheeks heat up, and he couldn't help but lower his head and ordered his two children: "Call him dad!"

Zi Yang's eyes flashed with curiosity and he obediently called "Dad".

Yueying looked at Xiao Sa and pursed her lips tightly, without saying a word.

Xiao Sa squatted down, pulled Yueying with one hand and Ziyang with the other, looking at the two children up and down, suddenly, the light flashed in his eyes: "You are Yueying, you are Ziyang... you are so old!"

Yueying lowered her head and looked at her toes.

After hearing this, Ziyang turned his head and looked at his mother with a smile on his face, then turned his head and looked at his sister who looked very unhappy, showing an uneasy expression.

"Call your father!" Master Eleven said without saying a word when he saw Yueying, "If you don't shout, be careful that your father doesn't like you."

It would be fine if he didn't say it. As soon as he said it, Yueying shook Xiao Sa's hand away, turned around and ran away.

Chen Muqing didn't know why Yueying got such a temper, and was worried that something would happen to her, so he hurriedly said to Ziyang, "You are obedient, follow your father" and turned around and went to find Yueying.

When Ziyang saw that his mother and sister had left, he threw him to a stranger. He curled his mouth and started crying with a "wow".

Xiao Sa hurriedly hugged the child: "Don't cry, don't cry. Your mother will come soon. She's going to find your sister!" As he said that, he wiped the child's tears with his hands with calluses.

The child's skin is already tender, not to mention that Ziyang is like a member of the Shen family, and his skin is about to break. Xiao Sa hurts him, and he cries even more violently. While crying, he also reaches out to ask Yingfen to hug him.

Xiao Sa was very embarrassed.

Huang came forward to rescue: "Uncle Qi, I'll hold Ziyang! My mother is still waiting for you in the house!"

Xiao Sa has been in the northwest for two years, holding either a sword or a knife. He has never held a soft and tender child. For a moment, the hero turned into a soft finger. How could he bear to let go!

"Let's find Mu Qing first!" He responded vaguely, and carried the child to the direction of Chen Mu Qing chasing Yueying.

When the others saw him, they followed him.

After turning a corner, Xiao Sa saw Chen Muqing and Yueying - the mother and daughter were sitting on the Taiwan mirror with their knees and talking... It was just Chen Muqing talking, and Yueying lowered her head and listened.

"Mu Qing!" Xiao Sa felt Yueying's disgust towards him, and did not dare to approach, and called Chen Muqing from afar.

Chen Muqing raised his head and smiled at Xiao Sa, lowered his head and said a few words to Yueying. Yueying pouted and stood up slowly. Chen Muqing showed a gratified smile, and then touched Yueying's head like encouragement. The mother and daughter walked over with hands holding hands.

Ziyang shouted Chen Muqing aggrievedly: "Mom..."

Chen Muqing walked over and took Ziyang - a faint fragrance drifted into Xiao Sa's nose. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and hugged her waist.

Eleventh Master opened his eyes wide, and Huang was stunned for a moment and lowered his eyelids... he looked like he didn't see it.

Chen Muqing felt Xiao Sa's hand landing on his waist, and his heart felt warm.

Xiao Sa's action seemed to be supporting her... I was alone for too long, and I was eager to think that someone could let me lean on me when I was tired.

"Dad!" Yueying called Xiao Sa in a low voice, but Xiao Sa was overjoyed.

He knew very well how bad the daughter had.

"Yueying, let's go and treat my grandmother." Xiao Sa cheered up to deal with his daughter, and accidentally used strategies... He could not pursue Yueying's disgust towards him at this time, as this would only make Yueying even more unhappy. The best way is to divert his gaze.

Sure enough, Yueying's expression relaxed a little more, and she followed Xiao Sa to the fourth wife's place.

"Why are you coming back at this time?" The fourth wife looked unconscious, "This season is not as hot as summer... the vegetables are cold and cold, and they are hot."

"I didn't expect the emperor to keep me talking." Xiao Sa was a little dissatisfied.

The fourth wife seemed to have become accustomed to Xiao Sa like this. She showed neither anger nor surprise, but instead ordered Chen Muqing to lightly: "Let the kitchen order the meal!"

Chen Muqing left, and the women brought the food boxes in. Huang and Shen Muqing arranged the dishes together, and then served the fourth wife, Xiao Sa, and Eleventh Master to have dinner with their two children.

Xiao Sa looked at Chen Muqing who was standing behind the fourth wife, and his eyes flashed.

After dinner, everyone moved to the next room to have tea.

"How many days will you stay at home when you are back this time?" asked the fourth wife casually.

"I don't know!" Xiao Sa's expression was faint, "It should be possible to meet his father!"

The fourth wife nodded: "It's good that you meet! Help me persuade your father not to think about getting promoted and getting rich all day long. You are in the limelight now, so make him feel a little aggrieved and just find a gangster to live."

"Let's talk when I see my father!" Xiao Sa said calmly, "I have been outside in the past few years, and I don't know what my father thinks. Let's talk about it then!"

The two of them said a few words indifferently, and Xiao Sa said goodbye with the excuse of being afraid that the fourth wife would be tired.

The fourth wife's eyes circled Shen Muqing and nodded with a smile, which made Chen Muqing feel a little uncomfortable.

Halfway through the road, Xiao Sa held Chen Muqing's hand while wearing a crane cloak. Not only that, she also rubbed it with her thumb.

Chen Muqing threw it several times but didn't fall. Fortunately, he met Chang Hui when he reached the door.

"I heard that you are back and I thought you were going to have a reunion dinner, so I didn't bother you."

"What did you say?" Xiao Sa reluctantly let go of Chen Muqing's hand and bowed to Chang Hui, "You and my brother, why are you doing this kind of politeness? I'm afraid that there are elders who are not used to you, so I didn't call you when I eat."

Chang Hui was good at observing, so he naturally discovered the mystery. He didn't go into the house, but stood under the eaves and smiled: "Fortunately you didn't call me, I can't get on the main table, and fortunately you didn't ask me to go to dinner. However, if I had known that you were so anxious, I would have come in the middle of the night... so as not to delay your good things!"

Chen Muqing saw that his eyes fell on his hands. Although his expression had not changed, his face turned red. It was Xiao Sa and he didn't care: "Since that's the case, you might as well come tomorrow at noon."

Chang Hui couldn't help laughing when she heard this, hugged Yueying and ran away.

The maids and mothers naturally took Ziyang away.

Xiao Sa picked up Chen Muqing without hesitation and kicked the door with a "slap".

*******

Early the next morning, Chen Muqing sat up with soreness in his waist and back, and was immediately pulled into the quilt by Xiao Sa.

"Accompany me for a while!"

"No. I want to arrange breakfast, and I also want to pay my respects to the fourth wife..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Sa pressed his hand on the bed and said, "I miss you!"

Chen Muqing couldn't help but say coquettishly: "I won't be with you anymore!"

Xiao Sa came over with a smile: "I am so handsome in the northwest... You should pity me!" As he said that, he pressed Chen Muqing under him again...

Ying Fen, who was instructing the little maid to hold the wash water, couldn't help but blush. The person who led the person backed down gently and stood under the eaves, watching the sky turn from gray-black to gray-blue, and from gray-blue to fish white...

"Go and bring the hot water to the pot again!" After testing the temperature on the surface of the copper pot, she ordered the little maid helplessly, "Grandma should be about to wake up."

The little maid left, Yingfen was considering whether to remind Chen Muqing - if you don't go out, it would be a little too late to go to the fourth wife's place. Chen Muqing's voice came from the room: "Yingfen, come in with a wash water!"

Yingfan responded, and when the little maid brought the hot water again, she went into the house to serve Chen Muqing to wash.

Chen Muqing put on a jacket and sat next to the mirror table with her elbows. Her white and tender hands held her rosy cheeks, and her lips were more gorgeous than usual, which made Yingfan's heart beat, let alone Xiao Sa leaning on the big-faced pillow. His lips were lightly raised, and he looked happy.

Chen Muqing told Yingfen: "Just put down the water, you all go back!"

Yingfen knew that when Xiao Sa was at home, Chen Muqing didn't like the maids serving on the side, so he bowed and said, "Yes", and then led the maid back.
Chapter completed!
