But because of the unhappiness in his heart, he only moved two chopsticks for each dish, and let the maid withdraw.

While eating sweet dim sum, I quietly leaned on the side of the bed and read the account book.

But somehow, I was already tired outside during the day today, but it was actually late, and I didn't even feel a little sleepy, so I leaned quietly on the side of the bed.

After waiting for a while, there was finally a familiar sound of footsteps outside.

Qiu Yan got off the bed slowly, sat down on a beautiful woman next to her, and drank the tea slowly.

As soon as Lu Chiye entered the door, he quickly lowered his head and apologized in front of Qiu Yan.

"Madam, I really didn't mean it, there are too many things on my hands today, and I have delayed, have you eaten? Hungry or not? I had someone pack you some snacks from outside. ”

But Qiu Yan didn't say a word, just lowered his head and drank tea slowly.

After drinking half a cup, he suddenly put the teacup on the table.

Looking up at Lu Chiye, there was not even a trace of expression on his face.

Lu Chiye was startled by this crisp voice, and looked at Qiu Yan's face with anger, as if a layer of frost had condensed on her face, knowing that she must be angry with herself, she stepped forward in a panic, wanting to coax her.

But after Qiu Yan kicked him away several times in a row, he put his hands in front of him, looking like he was not approaching.

Seeing her like this, even if Lu Chiye wanted to break his head, he didn't know what he had done that would make her angry.

I could only look at Qiu Yan bitterly, "Madam, I know I must have done something wrong, but I really don't know what is wrong." Can you give me a hint? What am I doing wrong? ”

Qiu Yan glanced at him and said in a strange manner.

"What can you do wrong? Do you have any bad intentions? It's just that there seem to be a lot of peach blossoms this year. ”

"Madam, this is really a great injustice!"

Lu Chiye hurriedly stretched out three fingers to guarantee, "During this time, I have always been followed by subordinates, and I promise that not even a female fly has appeared around me!" ”

"Even if there are customers to the store, I will bring the shopkeeper or other guys to receive them, and I have never had any contact with women outside!"

"Really? That's really a coincidence, today my cheap lady actually found a maid to recommend herself in front of me, saying that she wanted to be your concubine. ”

"It is conceivable that the charm of the head of the Lu family is really quite amazing, and even the county lady wants to give you the personal maid next to her." Qiu Yan snorted coldly.

"This is really wronged, I am even more wronged than Dou E!"

Lu Chiye shouted loudly in front of Qiu Yan, "How can you blame me for such an unwarranted disaster, madam?" ”

"I don't know if that girl is tall or short, round or flat, how could I possibly accept her? This...... You've really wronged me! ”

said, in front of Qiu Yan, he complained bitterly.

said that he was busy with business matters during this time, where is that idle man who has anything to do with other women.

And this matter must be Cao Xinfeng making some kind of trouble behind his back, just to destroy the relationship between the two of them.

is still persuading Qiu Yan, saying that she must not fall into Cao Xinfeng's trap because she is hot-headed for a while.

Seeing Lu Chiye's mouth muttering endlessly, and his face was full of bitterness, the anger in Qiu Yan's heart dissipated a little.

In fact, she was just unhappy when someone suddenly sent her to the door, saying that she was going to be a concubine for Lu Chiye, but she was not particularly angry.

After listening to it for a while, the anger also dissipated a lot, so he could only pull Lu Chiye to sit down next to him and look at him with a serious face.

"Anyway, I've already told you about this, you know what to do next, right?"

"I know, I know!" Lu Chiye nodded like pounding garlic, and his attitude was very upright.

"Although I don't know why Cao Xinfeng arranged for someone to come over, since this matter has happened, I will deal with it as soon as possible. Madam, you don't have to worry about these little things, just leave it to me. My pot, I carry it alone. ”

"That's pretty much it." Seeing that Lu Chiye had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, Qiu Yan's expression softened a little, and he began to mumble to him.

During the day, Dongmei and Linlang are strange, and the man she married is weird.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of tiles being stepped on outside.

"Who?" Qiu Yan's face immediately changed, and he quickly ran out of the door, followed by Lu Chiye.

However, after the two of them looked left and right, and circled the room again, they did not find any strange figures.

When he returned to the room with a solemn face, Qiu Yan grabbed Lu Chiye's sleeve and looked at him indifferently.

"Say, is there some ghost in our house? Otherwise, how could there be such a strange sound just now? ”

"Don't mind, madam, maybe there's a cat running on the ground."

"But it doesn't matter, the two of us didn't say anything secret just now, even if someone heard, it was nothing." Lu Chiye shook his head.

"That being said, be careful, though. Otherwise, if we are overheard by others when we talk about business in the future, it will be troublesome. ”

"In a few days, let's find a way to find a few more people at home who are more skilled and careful, I don't want the house to become a miasma at that time."

Listening to what Qiu Yan mentioned, Lu Chiye connected with the strange sound outside just now, and suddenly remembered the person he met when he was in the restaurant before, who might be eavesdropping on them in the back.

Thinking like this, his face became ugly by two points.

Qiu Yan kept looking at him, looking at him like this, there was also a trace of worry in his heart, and he took the initiative to ask.

"Is something wrong? Or is it something that comes to mind? ”

"That's true." After Lu Chiye briefly told Qiu Yan what happened that day, he mentioned what Qiu Yan had just said with some irritation.

"What the maid mentioned is not entirely false."

"I did discuss with my subordinates and let them follow behind Linlang, but I haven't heard anything further these days, so I'm a little skeptical."

At the end of the sentence, he didn't say anything more, so as not to cause unnecessary suspicion in Qiu Yan.

But at this moment, Qiu Yan's face became more serious.

If it's a coincidence, that's it.

However, in a short period of time, it is suspected that someone is eavesdropping on them from behind, and this matter is a little troublesome

After lightly clicking on the table and muttering a few times in Lu Chiye's ear, the two immediately walked out of the room.

After arranging for the housekeeper to summon all the people who were in charge of the vigil today into the courtyard, he announced the new rules to them.

It is said that from this day onwards, the vigil will be divided into the first half of the night and the second half of the night.

If the night watchman is really quite good and cautious in his work, the monthly money of the month will not only be paid on time, but they will also be given bonuses.

Of course, the people in the family happily agreed.

However, arranging for people to increase the protection of the homes they live in is only one thing.

At the same time, they have to find a way to carefully check in the back to see if they are being targeted by someone.

Thinking that the one who is the most trusted by them here and has a relatively close relationship with them is General Wang, and the other party still has a pair of elite soldiers in his hands.

I came down from the rain of bullets on the battlefield again, so I guess I have a little more experience.

Therefore, Qiu Yan and the others didn't even have time to sleep that night, so they immediately took the carriage and arrived at the place where General Wang was resting for the time being.

Seeing the two of them running over with heavy dew, although General Wang was a little suspicious, he still beckoned Qiu Yan and them to sit down in the house.

Straight to the point, he asked, "What's wrong?" The two of you came here in the middle of the night, is there something wrong? ”

"General, we've been in some trouble lately."

Saying that, after Qiu Yan told the two incidents again, he looked at General Wang with some apprehension.

"My husband and wife came here today to ask the general, could it be because the prince arranged for someone to come over and wanted to deal with us, or did he take my husband away again?"

"We were a little scared, so we came to ask for your opinion."

"You two are really thoughtful. But don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. ”

General Wang patted his chest boldly and replied calmly.

In fact, when he came over this time, in addition to the pair of elite soldiers who followed him on the surface, he also arranged other protective manpower in the dark.

After all, his father is also a marquis, and he has accumulated a lot of money over the years, and the family has specially raised some thugs or killers who only serve them, just to prevent nothing from failing.

Thinking that Qiu Yan and his wife built Qiguang Mansion quite well, and they also did a lot of good things to facilitate and benefit the people, and their impression of the couple was also very good.

Met their somewhat worried gazes, and took the initiative to say.

"You go back and have a good rest, I will arrange someone to investigate this matter later."

"As for the mansion where you live, there are not many people who are usually responsible for protecting, and martial arts are just like that."

"Don't worry, I will choose a more suitable person for you and send it over in person."

"So, thank you, General! I'm really sorry to have to trouble you in the middle of the night. ”

When Lu Chiye heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly bent down deeply in front of General Wang.

"It's a small thing, you don't have to take it to heart. Okay, it's too late, you guys go back first, and when I have carefully selected people, I will send them to you myself. ”

Qiu Yan and the others thanked them again and again, and then got into the carriage again and went home.

Lu Chiye held Qiu Yan's hand tightly, pretending to joke relaxedly.

"Now relieved, right? If someone arranged by General Wang comes, it will be foolproof. ”
