The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 592 Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law (Part 1)

In the next room, Xiao Heng peeled an orange for Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao has been resting for four days, the wounds on her arms and waist and abdomen are healing well, and the strangulation and stab wounds on her wrists are also recovering well, and the gauze can be completely removed in three or two days.

Gu Jiao had never recuperated for such a long time, she was almost moldy in the room, she seemed to understand Mo Qianxue's irritability a little bit.

"I'm fine, I can go back." Gu Jiao said while sitting on the bed.

"No." Xiao Heng refused straight away, "Doctor Song said that you should rest for at least seven days."

In fact, it is reasonable to say that you should rest for ten days and a half months, but Doctor Song and Xiao Heng both understand that someone is definitely not the type to be bored in the house for so many days, and her injuries are indeed recovering faster than ordinary people. It was shortened to seven days.

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Xiao Heng smiled softly, and handed her a few petals of oranges with the tangerines peeled off. He also knew that she was bored, and the number of times he went to the yamen in the past two days was less, so he basically stayed here with her.

"Teacher Zhuang's business is settled, Zhuang Yuheng went to get it." He talked to her to relieve his boredom, "Who would have thought that Concubine Jing would have a blank edict from the late emperor in her hand."

Gu Jiao asked: "There is an imperial edict, why didn't she take it out earlier?"

Xiao Heng continued to pick out the remaining orange petals: "I guess, this imperial decree either fell into the hands of the people of Yan Kingdom long ago, or it was hidden somewhere. Concubine Jing only found it before she died. It's just that she didn't have a chance to get it herself, so she left a letter for Qin Fengyan to pick it up. However, on the way Qin Fengyan went to get the imperial decree, the people of Yan State found out, so the people of Yan State snatched the imperial decree in advance and used it to do things with Qin Fengyan. trade."

"What you said seems to make sense." Gu Jiao ate a piece of orange, it was so sweet!

Seeing her bulging cheeks, Xiao Heng looked like a little squirrel looking for food, and couldn't help laughing: "I'm just guessing, but these are not important... eat slowly."

"Um."

Responding to this in his mouth, he grabbed several petals and stuffed them into his mouth.

Why do you like oranges so much? Xiao Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and handed her the other half of the oranges that had been picked.

She took it and pointed to the oranges on the plate with her fingertips.

The meaning is obvious, but also.

Xiao Heng raised his eyebrows: "It's getting easier to command your husband, huh?"

Gu Jiao nodded her head, admitting it very generously.

Xiao Heng smiled and peeled another orange for her.

Gu Jiao didn't eat it by herself this time, but said to him: "You eat too."

Xiao Heng said: "I don't like to eat this.

"

Gu Jiao asked: "Then what do you like to eat?"

Xiao Heng glanced at her deeply: "It's nothing."

He lowered his eyes and continued to peel the oranges.

While peeling and peeling, he suddenly felt that the light in front of him dimmed, and it was Gu Jiao's body leaning towards him.

He took a tight breath, and his eyelashes trembled.

Gu Jiao tilted her head, reached out her hand to him, and pinched his chin.

His heart missed a beat!

"Well, there's something dirty." Gu Jiao looked left and right, and took away a bit of cotton that stuck to his cheek.

Xiao Heng blushed in embarrassment.

Original, is it cotton wool?

He thought she was going to—

"Sanggong, what's wrong with you?" Gu Jiao looked at him and asked.

"No, it's nothing." Xiao Heng lowered his eyes in disappointment, put the peeled orange peel on the table, and began to pick the orange for her.

Gu Jiao bent the corners of her lips, looked at that handsome and resentful face, leaned forward, and kissed the corners of his lips lightly.

Xiao Heng was startled fiercely, and stared at her dumbfounded.

Gu Jiao didn't pull back, she just stared at him so close, Gu Jiao blinked.

Xiao Heng's heart was rolling with heat waves, he was at a young age, how could he withstand her teasing like this?

Xiao Heng's throat slid, and he looked at her eagerly. There was a righteous villain in his heart who shouted no, then another evil villain slapped the righteous villain to death.

Xiao Heng stretched out his hand, grabbed the back of her head, and bullied her.

The moment he was about to kiss her, a heavy cough suddenly sounded at the door: "Ahem!"

It was the voice of Princess Xinyang.

Xiao Heng staggered and bumped into the bedpost next to Gu Jiao, causing a big bump on his forehead.

Yujin and the maids pursed their lips and laughed.

Princess Xinyang couldn't see it.

If she came alone, she could have sneaked away, but she brought a group of people over, so many pairs of eyes saw it, and it was impossible to pretend to be blind.

"Every... back down." She frowned.

"Yes."

Yujin snickered, and retreated with the maids.

Princess Xinyang looked at her stupid son who was still a boy at the age of nineteen with hatred: "Promise! It's broad daylight, don't know how to close the door!"

Gu Jiao: "Don't kill my husband."

Princess Xinyang: "What's wrong with me killing him?"

Xiao Heng blushed so much that his neck was thick, even if he was his daughter-in-law in broad daylight, he was bumped into by his mother and Yujin. His rules since elementary school did not allow him to do this, he just went out of line.

What's worse is that he was charged with extraordinary crimes, but he didn't enjoy extraordinary fun.

Almost got there.

Sorry!

"Cough." Xiao Heng stood between Gu Jiao and Princess Xinyang, and said solemnly to Princess Xinyang, "Why are you here?"

Princess Xinyang hehe said: "I can't come, right? I'm disturbing your good business, right? Xiao Heng, do you know that there is a thing called a door in the world? Why don't you close the door!"

Gu Jiao poked her head out from behind Xiao Heng: "That's not exciting."

Xiao Heng: "...!!"

Daughter-in-law, stop talking!

Xiao Heng broke out in a cold sweat, he hurriedly supported Princess Xinyang's arm, and said awkwardly: "Jiaojiao needs to recuperate, I will help you out for a walk."

"Humph!"

Princess Xinyang flicked her sleeves and turned around.

Gu Jiao turned her face away and snorted, "Hmph."

Princess Xinyang turned her head with wide eyes: "Hey! This girl still—"

Xiao Heng blocked her with his body, and supported her to go out: "Oh, the flowers in the yard are blooming! They bloom really well! It's worthy of being planted by my mother! The court gardeners are not as good as you!"

Princess Xinyang was pushed and abducted by her son to get out of the house, Xiao Heng supported her with one hand, and closed Gu Jiao's door with the other hand.

Princess Xinyang glared at him angrily: "If you have a daughter-in-law, forget your mother!"

Xiao Heng said with a look of injustice: "Look at what you said, am I that kind of person?"

Princess Xinyang raised her eyebrows and said, "Then let me ask you..."

Xiao Heng interrupted her with a sigh: "You and Jiaojiao fell into the water at the same time, which one should I save first, right? It must be you, I will save you with Jiaojiao! Jiaojiao knows how to swim!"

Princess Xinyang: "..."

Princess Xinyang didn't really come to find fault, she hummed a few words and said the business, she was going to go out for a few days before coming back, she had told the prince about the matter in the court, she would not come out Big mistake.

"Don't go out of the capital if you have nothing to do, and don't go out if you have something to do. Wait for me to come back."

"it is good."

After instructing her son, Princess Xinyang took Yujin and Long Yi and boarded the traveling carriage.

Yujin asked, "Princess, where are we going?"

Princess Xinyang said: "Go and find another Yan Kingdom power."

She had always suspected that the group who assassinated Xiao Heng did not dare to do it in the capital because there was another Yan State power in the capital.

This force may not come to protect Xiao Heng, it is very likely that it is just the spies of Yan State buried in various countries. They do not interfere in the government affairs of various countries, and only monitor the intelligence of various countries as their own responsibility.

The Nangong family should have acted without authorization, and they cannot be discovered by Yan Guo, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Princess Xinyang opened a corner of the curtain and said to Yujin: "Look at the people on the street, all of them are dressed up by ordinary people, but maybe one of them is a spy from another country. , Liang Guo carefully made..."

Yujin said: "Is there so much meticulous work?"

Princess Xinyang said: "We also have detailed work in other countries."

Yujin was slightly surprised: "Shangguo also has them?"

Princess Xinyang said lightly: "Liang State has it, Yan State and Jin State have not yet."

Yujin asked suspiciously: "Then how do we know which of them is the master of Yan Kingdom?"

"Guess." Princess Xinyang said.

The carriage stopped outside a Jinxiu cloth shop, and the driver went down to negotiate with the owner of the cloth shop. After a while, the boss got into the car and reported: "If you go back to the princess, the pharmacist from the country of Yan is going out of the city to collect medicine today. Someone posted the news that there are medicinal materials he wanted in Cangbei Mountain."

Behind Buzhuang is the underground martial arts field.

No one knew that this unremarkable cloth shop was actually the eyeliner laid by Princess Xinyang many years ago.

Yujin frowned and said, "Princess suspects that Yan Guoan's pharmacist is Yan Guoan's spy in the capital of Zhao Kingdom? Isn't this too blatant? Don't you even cover up your identity as a native of Yan Kingdom?"

Princess Xinyang snorted coldly and said: "Sometimes the more open and upright, the more no one will doubt it. Besides, Zhao Kingdom is just a descendant country, so there is no need for Yan Kingdom to be too cautious. Is he the person I want to find? Follow up and try." You'll know once you try it."
