Du Juan didn't hear Mrs. Wei's words behind.

She rushed out of the house in a hurry, and ran towards Neiyi Gate with a clear goal. She was panting all the way.

But she was still a step too late, the area around the inner and outer gates was empty.

A concierge probably guessed that Du Juan came to chase Mrs. Ji'an Hou, and said in a low voice: "Miss Du Juan, the carriage from the Hou's residence has just left..."

Wei Wan has already left with a pair of children.

The Marquis of Ji'an's Mansion is not too far from the Duke of Wei's Mansion, and it's only about an incense stick's drive away.

When she returned to the Hou Mansion, Wei Wan's anger was still there, and her plump lips were still tightly pressed.

When she got out of the carriage, she saw a man in a sky-blue straight suit standing outside the carriage.

The man in his twenties was tall and straight, with handsome features. Under the sun, his brows and eyes looked gentler than usual, and he looked dignified.

"Ayan, why are you here?" Wei Wan looked at her husband Ji'an Hou Xuyan in surprise.

Before Xu Yan could speak, the twins got off the carriage one by one, and the boy Xu Luo threw himself into his father's arms, calling affectionately, "Daddy."

The little girl Xu Yao stood three steps away, pursed her lips and smiled, with a shallow smile, reserved and obediently blessed her father: "Father."

Xu Yan touched the top of his son's hair equally, and then touched the top of his daughter's hair, and said with a smile: "Wan'er, I will start taking a bath tomorrow, and we and our two children will go to Zhuangzi for two days together. "

"Aren't you going to take a bath in three days?" Wei Wan's eyes widened in surprise, her pupils shining brightly, "I haven't packed my luggage yet, so I can't just leave empty-handed."

She had agreed with her husband and son-in-law a few days ago that when he was free, they would take their two children to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing to live for a while, and they would also go to the Wuliang Temple near Zhuangzi to ask for a peace talisman for their son.

Wuliang Temple is well-known in Beijing. Although it was slightly affected by Shangqing's incident a few days ago, the people in Beijing knew that Shangqing's surname was Yu, and quickly settled the account on Yu's head. Within half a month, Wuliang Temple The incense is restored to its original state.

"Didn't I want to give you and the children a surprise?" Xu Yan said with a smile, "Don't worry. I'll let... Grandma Wang take care of everything that needs to be prepared."

As soon as Xu Luo was amused, he smiled and took Xu Yan's big hand, and urged him eagerly, "Daddy, let's go quickly."

During this period of time, Xu Luo was tortured by the scars, who didn't know whether it was evil or a "strange disease". He either lost his temper or was depressed. It was rare for him to smile today. Wei Wan felt happy when he saw it, and felt that it was time to take the children out relax.

Therefore, Wei Wan and the twins returned to the carriage, and Xu Yan got into the carriage last.

The carriage in the Hou's mansion was quite spacious, more than enough for their family of four. Xu Yan sat on the left side of the carriage with Xu Luo in his arms, and Wei Wan sat on the other side with his daughter Xu Yao.

The carriage quickly drove out of Hou's mansion again, this time, heading in another direction away from Duke Wei's mansion.

Xu Luo took out his Nine Links again and started playing with it.

Wei Wan looked at her son with a look of kindness on her face, then remembered the matter of the Duke's Mansion again, and frowned.

She always said something, and complained to Xu Yan unhappily: "Ayan, when I went to the Duke of Wei's mansion today, I met a magic stick."

"I wanted her to see Brother Luo..." While speaking, her pitiful eyes swept across Xu Luo's small face, "I didn't expect her to curse me without saying a few words..."

"Curse?" Xu Yan interrupted her, frowning slightly.

"She cursed me and our child to die! Bad luck, really bad luck!" Wei Wanyue became more indignant as she spoke, holding her daughter Xu Yao who was sitting beside her in her arms, and gently stroking her daughter's slender shoulders.

Xu Yao cuddled up to her mother obediently, showing admiration on her face.

Wei Wan touched the top of her daughter's hair again, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, I heard that she saved the eldest princess before. In my opinion, she has a false reputation. Maybe it's just luck."

"If I didn't leave just now, in the next step, she might want to pay me a lot of money to change my life."

"The person who saved the eldest princess..." Xu Yan frowned, and looked at Wei Wan thoughtfully, his eyes were dark, showing obvious displeasure, "Could it be that Miss Gu you're talking about?"

Since the incident of Chaochengtianmen, the prestige of the second girl Gu from the former Dingyuanhou's mansion is known to everyone in the court, and everyone knows it, let alone because she pulled out a carrot and brought it out of the mud. The Yu family and the Feng family were also involved.

Wei Wan nodded.

She was still angry and didn't want to mention the other party's name.

"Patter."

Jiu Lianhuan got out of Xu Luo's hand, and he had already closed his eyes and fell asleep on his father's lap.

Xu Yan hurriedly adjusted his son's sleeping position. Through the neckline, he could see the blood-red scars on the boy's skin looming, like a burning fire.

Just looking at it like this, Wei Wan felt distressed, and wished she could bear this instead of her son.

Xu Yan carefully loosened his son's neckline again, and comforted his wife in a soft voice: "It's okay, we Luo Ge'er Ji people have their own heaven."

"I have inquired about it. The real person Xuancheng, the master of the Infinite Temple, has returned to watch. This time, we will ask the real person to show Brother Luo a good look."

Seeing her husband caring so much for their only son, Wei Wan felt tenderness in her heart.

She has weak knees, but her husband has never taken concubines, and he is even more caring for their legitimate son. He personally enlightened Xu Luo, taught him martial arts, and took care of his daily life, no less trouble than her mother.

If her son is like this, her husband may feel more distressed than her.

Wei Wan sighed deeply, stroking her daughter's shoulder rhythmically with her right hand, and said helplessly, "I don't know what kind of evil this is, Brother Luo, I just hope that the real Xuancheng is a little more sincere." Don’t use your name in vain again!”

"If brother Luo can recover, I am willing to eat for three years... no, ten years of fasting."

"..."

Amidst the chattering voices of the couple, the carriage drove out of the capital from the west gate.

The road was steady, and the carriage swayed regularly. Gradually, Wei Wan in the carriage became a little sleepy.

Persuaded by her husband, she closed her eyes and took a nap.

The twins slept peacefully, Wei Wan was half asleep and half awake, opening her eyes from time to time to look at the twins.

When she didn't know how many times she opened her eyes, she noticed that it was dark in the carriage, so she opened the curtains and looked outside the carriage.

It was already dusk outside, most of the setting sun had set, and the sky was half-bright and half-dark.

Wei Wan rubbed the center of her brows, and said to Xu Yan who was sitting opposite in a hoarse voice, "Isn't Wushan Villa here yet?"

Zhuangzi in the western suburbs of the Hou Mansion is very close to Wuliang Temple, and because of this, they planned to live in this farm that they don't often visit on weekdays.

"It's not there yet." Xu Yan also lifted the curtains and looked out, explaining helplessly, "There is a road that was blocked by the Tianshan rockslide the day before, so the driver diverted and took a detour."

"Close your eyes and sleep for a while, and you'll be there in a while."

That's what Xu Yan said, but until the sun went down completely and it was dark, Wushan Villa hadn't arrived yet.

A dim glass candle lamp was lit in the carriage, and the candle light flickered slightly as the carriage moved.

Wei Wan didn't feel much sleepy either, she raised the curtains from time to time and looked out of the carriage, only to feel that the carriage was going more and more sideways, the road was dark on both sides, and only faint shadows could be seen in the distance.

Wei Wan felt a little anxious, thinking that the coachman might have gone the wrong way, and was about to ask, when the carriage suddenly shook violently, and the coachman's "wheeze" came from outside, interspersed with the anxious neighing of the horses .

The coachman shouted nervously outside: "Master Hou, madam, someone robbed me."

The candle flame was still flickering crazily inside the glass lampshade, and the dim light cast an obscure light and shadow on Wei Wan's face.

Xu Yao who was sleeping in Wei Wan's arms was also awakened, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

Wei Wan hugged her daughter subconsciously, and Gu Yanfei's cold voice sounded in her mind: "Otherwise, madam and your child will definitely die!"

As soon as this idea came to her mind, she was rejected by herself.

no, I can not.

She couldn't help but shook her head and said to herself, she didn't believe it.

But there was a trace of panic in her expression, and a bone-piercing chill spread rapidly in her heart, like a spider web tightly entangled her.

"Everyone be careful, it's a thief!"

"Come on, brothers!"

There were bursts of high-pitched and loud shouts from outside the carriage, tearing apart the silence of the dark night and the tranquility in the carriage.

Immediately afterwards, clanging sword clashes sounded one after another, interspersed with shrill screams, desperate groans, chaotic running... These thrilling sounds mixed together, disrupting Wei Wan's mind.

A thick smell of blood floated in from the window, getting stronger and stronger.

Xu Luo who was sleeping in Xu Yan's arms also woke up and yawned lazily.

"Brother Luo, come to mother quickly." Wei Wan eagerly waved to her son who had just woken up, her whole body tensed.

But Xu Luo hugged Xu Yan, buried his face in his father's chest, and said stubbornly, "I'm with Daddy."

Xu Yan put his arms around his son, his eyes were deep, and his voice carried a trace of imperceptible indifference: "...I will take care of Brother Luo."

"do not worry."

While speaking, the shouts of killing outside became louder, and a few swords slashed heavily on the carriage, making several heavy muffled noises.

Xu Yao was terrified, she shrank and hid in her mother's arms, shouting tremblingly: "Mother, I'm afraid."

Wei Wan was also afraid, hugging her daughter tightly, her face paled.

She comforted the little girl in a low voice, completely oblivious to the fact that half of the face of the boy buried in Xu Yan's arms was exposed, and he squinted at her, with a bit of disdain and impatience in his dark eyes.

The blood-colored scar exposed on his neckline became redder and brighter, as if blood was oozing faintly, and it also seemed to be wriggling like a blood-red worm.
