Chapter 718 ·Scream

Everyone was worried about the water, but the rain showed no sign of stopping.

Tang Songzhou was worried, and discussed countermeasures with Tang Xuezhen and the shopkeepers gathered at home. Tang Xuezhen felt strange that he could not see Wu Jie, so he asked Bai Rongxuan, "Why don't you see Wu Jie? What's the big deal about running out on such a rainy day?" What’s the big deal? You can’t feel sorry for the people under your control?”

Bai Rongxuan thought for a while and said softly, "Maybe grandma asked him to go out. How about you ask grandma?"

Tang Xuexuan shook his head, "Then forget it."

However, Bai Rongxuan was also worried about Wu Jie's safety. When he came home wet at night, she couldn't help but tell him, "You must always pay attention to your own safety. When you encounter danger, withdraw quickly. There is nothing better than saving your life." All are important.”

Wu Jie gratefully agreed.

But when he returned to the room and took off his pants, he saw that his legs had been soaked in water and were white and swollen. It was extremely painful to move even slightly. Ah Shun was surprised and said, "Brother Wu, what's wrong with you?"

Before Wu Jie could speak, Yan Guanshi said from the side, "Don't ask any more questions, go get the medicine quickly."

Ah Shun nodded and ran to find medicine.

Manager Yan took the opportunity to ask, "How is it? Isn't there any movement from Luo Xiuchun's side?"

Wu Jie has been keeping an eye on the activities of Jiahe Inn recently, not daring to relax. He knows that now is the most critical time. If the two foxes, Luo Xiuchun and Aunt Xiang, complete the plan, all the hard work of these days will be lost. Down the drain.

Wu Jie didn't dare to blink.

He said to Yan Guanshi, "A stable woman came into the store today. She must be the woman Luo Xiuchun brought from Ningbo. I will change my clothes in a while and go to report to the old lady. If that is the case, what will happen to us here?" You have to prepare your head as soon as possible."

Manager Yan nodded, "The old lady has her own arrangements, just say what you need to say."

Wu Jie agreed, washed up briefly, changed into a set of clean clothes, and hurried to see Mrs. Tang. When Ah Shun ran back with the medicine bottle, Wu Jie had long disappeared.

Yan Guanshi said, "Let him put the medicine there, and let him apply it when he comes back later. If he keeps soaking in water like this, once the cold gets into his bones, he will suffer when he gets old in the future."

Ah Shun said with a straight face and seriously, "Do you know what Wu Jie is busy with recently? It must be a big deal that he can't stay home despite such a heavy rain."

Yan Guanshi said, "Don't make endless guesses at a young age, and don't ask about things you shouldn't know."

Ah Shun sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

However, Yan Guanshi thought that it was lucky to have this heavy rain. Otherwise, if Wu Jie was always running out like this, Tang Songzhou would have noticed something was wrong.

Wu Jie came to Mrs. Tang's door and knocked on the door.

After a while, Grandma Li came over, opened the door, and invited him in, "The old lady just finished talking about you. She deduced that it was the end of the day, but I didn't expect you to come over before I even finished speaking."

Wu Jie met Mrs. Tang and told everything he had seen in the past two days. Mrs. Tang nodded, "Well, it seems that Xiangshi should take action in the next two days, so you have more Work harder, keep an eye out, and come back to me as soon as there is any movement. It’s time to close the net that has been cast for so long. Success or failure will depend on this day, and there is no room for any mistakes."

Wu Jie said, "I understand that Luo Xiuchun will be targeted to death."

Mrs. Tang nodded and asked Grandma Li to take out the medicated oil she had prepared in advance, "You must rub it before going to bed, otherwise your legs will not be able to bear it. But don't take it seriously, or you will suffer when you get old.

Yes. If you feel too tired and don’t want to move, let Ah Shun wipe it for you and give it a good rub to get rid of the dampness and coldness in your legs."

Wu Jie took it gratefully.

After Wu Jie left, Mrs. Tang discussed with Grandma Li, "It seems that these are the few days, let's get ready."

Aunt Li said, "The life is a lot different from that of Aunt Xiang. It's even more exaggerated than Brother Rong before. How can she make up for it?"

Mrs. Tang couldn't help but smile and said, "You are really willing to worry about it, no matter what excuse she uses? Maybe by now she has thought of a comprehensive plan and is sitting back and waiting to enjoy the blessing."

Mr. Xiang had indeed thought of an excuse, but it was out of the question to sit back and relax.

Like Wu Jie, Xiangshi's nurse had to go out every day recently. Although Tang Chongzhou was dull, she still sensed something was wrong and came to ask Xiangshi. Xiangshi said displeasedly, "What else can happen?

The wet nurse now goes to the temple every day to burn incense for me and pray that I and the baby in my belly will be safe. If it weren't for my sake, would the wet nurse still be running around like this at such an old age?

"

Tang Chongzhou saw that she was showing signs of being angry, so he naturally did not dare to ask any more questions. He just smiled and said, "Thank you for her hard work, don't worry! As long as she treats you wholeheartedly, I will never treat her badly."

Xiangshi nodded indifferently, "As long as you know what's going on."

Since Xiang became pregnant, Tang Chongzhou had been living outside. Every time he wanted to get close to her, Xiang would avoid her with various excuses. Seeing that there was no one else in the house, Tang Chongzhou came over and wanted to hug Xiang from behind.

Shi. ​​Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he heard Xiangshi scream, quickly brushed past his hand, and asked sharply, "You... what are you doing?"

The voice was a bit urgent and nervous.

And her movements were as light as a swallow, and she didn't want to be as slow and careful as a woman who was seven or eight months pregnant.

Tang Chongzhou looked at her in surprise.

Xiangshi quickly changed her words and said, "Oh, Master! You really scared me to death. Even though you are still doing nothing, my heart is about to jump out of my chest." She started to act coquettishly.

Tang Chongzhou said with some displeasure, "What's happened to you recently? I can't be hugged or touched. Could it be that I have lice on my body?"

When Xiangshi looked at his wrinkled face and the white hair on his temples, he felt guilty. He had really become older and older in the past two years. But Xiangshi didn't dare to really anger him, so he could only say, "Master

, am I not pregnant? It will be fine when I am out of confinement."

Tang Chongzhou said, "You've been getting more and more weird lately. You stay in the house all day and don't go out. You don't let anyone get close to you except the wet nurse. Is there something you're hiding from me?"

Mr. Xiang was so frightened that his hair stood on end, but he still pretended to be ignorant on his face, "What are you talking about, sir? What can I hide from you? We are husband and wife, do you still doubt me? I have been with you since I became pregnant.

My health has not been very good since I gave birth to this child.

If it weren't for the wet nurse's careful care, let alone this child, it's a matter of two minds whether I could have kept it. Oh... who am I doing this for? If it weren't for you and my family, would I be so desperate? I didn't expect you.

You still don’t appreciate it, you actually doubt me!”

When Tang Chongzhou heard what she said, he also felt that his previous words were a bit inappropriate, "It's my fault, don't take it to heart, that's what I said. By the way, how is the child in your belly? Let me touch him."

.”

Xiang's face turned pale, and she quickly took two steps back, "Your hands are cold, stop freezing your son. After he is born, you can touch him however you want. You might as well take care of everything."

.”

Tang Chongzhou was naturally happy, but before he could speak, the steward's voice came from outside, "Master! The roof of the back room is still leaking. If it is not repaired in time, I'm afraid the house will collapse tonight. Go quickly."

Look, I’m waiting for you to make up your mind.”

Xiangshi breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been granted amnesty.

However, Tang Chongzhou, who was one head and two older, came out muttering, "Did Xueli have so many things to do when she was the housekeeper?"
