Madam and the Marquis are at odds with each other. This is a fact that everyone in Anyiyuan knows very well but dare not speak of it.

That evening, the two masters came into the house chatting and laughing, and as usual they were not allowed to wait for them to change clothes. No one knew what happened in the house in just a few moments. When the two masters came out, one had a gloomy face, and the other had an unspeakable grievance.

They were so scared that they dared not speak.

Although the Marquis still returned home on time every day and went to the main hall with his wife to have dinner with his highness, he never took the initiative to hold his wife's hand again, and the house was quiet at night without any movement. People with abnormal eyes like this

I can tell.

At this time, looking at the master sitting blankly in the pavilion holding a book, Mingyue and others standing not far away were secretly worried.

"It's been three days, and there's still no sign of reconciliation between Madam and the Marquis. It's not okay to continue in this stalemate. Let's think of something quickly." Xiqiao, who was thoughtful, couldn't help but said, hoping that everyone could come up with an idea.

"Why don't we ask Madam directly? Once we find out the reason, we can help Madam with some advice."

"No, Madam doesn't want to tell us. It's difficult to tell. If we ask rashly, we might make Madam sad." Qingshu rejected Xingtian's proposal because he didn't want the two masters to get into trouble.

In the past, Anyiyuan was very good, the two masters had a deep relationship, and there were no messy things to cause trouble, so they, the slaves, lived a comfortable life. Now the two masters are having trouble, and everyone is trembling, lest they do something wrong and offend the master.

"Sister Qingshu, you have been in the house the longest, so you should know the Marquis's temper. What do you think caused the quarrel between the Marquis and his wife this time?" Mingyue couldn't think of any other way, so she could only start from the side and slowly

Analyzes.

Qingshu thought for a while and said: "The Marquis only has Madam in his eyes, and he has only been married to Madam for two months. He must not be tired of Madam. Judging from Madam's mood these days, I am afraid that the Madam said something to offend the Marquis."

Angry."

When Mingyue and others heard this, they felt that what she said made sense, and then they fell into deeper doubts: What could make Mr. Hou angry for so long? Mr. Hou didn't seem to be a stingy person.

Not to mention that they couldn't figure it out, Qin Xiaoxiao was still confused and couldn't figure out why her ordinary words had made her so popular for so long.

Not to mention reading albums together these days and nights, in order to give each other a step down, she had to pretend to be asleep on this hot day, so that she could linger next to him.

The result was good, they were next to each other and hugged each other. When I saw him again the next day, he still had a bad face and was not willing to go down the steps at all.

She didn't feel that she was wrong. She thought that she had coaxed him into spoiling him when they had quarrels in the past. This time she wanted to change his bad habits, but she refused to bow her head first.

Rubbing Heitan's hairy head, Qin Xiaoxiao sighed deeply: "It is said that women's thoughts are unpredictable. Isn't your owner the same? He is big, but he is petty and doesn't know what to do with him.

How long will I keep making trouble?"

"Meow~" Hei Tan didn't understand, so he hugged her hand with two fleshy paws and rubbed it.

Dahuang, who was lying on the ground and dozing, opened his eyes, looked at his owner, then looked at Heitan, sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail gently.

Originally, Heitan was also lying on the ground. When he saw Rhubarb's tail swinging from side to side, his head also moved left and right, and his two claws were ready to move. In the end, he could not resist the temptation and pounced to catch Rhubarb's tail.

Baa Ya also came over to join in the fun and kept pushing Heitan with its big horn. It was much stronger than Heitan, and even if it was playing without exerting any force, Heitan would howl and raise its paws on its head.

The last burst of shooting.

The three guys were going back and forth like crazy, their long and short hair flying around, touching Qin Xiaoxiao's head and face, causing her to sneeze several times. But seeing them laughing so hard, her mood also changed.

She gradually got better, and her laughter filled the pavilion.

A maid came over quickly and said something to Mingyue. After hearing this, Mingyue hurriedly walked to the pavilion: "Madam, the third master is here and waiting for you in the main hall."

The Third Master she calls is the Three Treasures.

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he got up and walked towards the main hall. Dahuang and the other three ignored the fun and followed him in a hurry.

The two siblings are both in the capital, and they have more opportunities to meet than before. From time to time, she goes to Nanshan Academy to deliver food, and when she gets books that are useful to the Three Treasures, she will be sent to him in time.

It's just that she didn't dare to disturb Sanbao too much during the critical period of his government examination. After the things were delivered, she was relieved to see that everything was fine with him.

When they arrived at the main hall, Sanbao was drinking tea. When he saw Qin Xiaoxiao coming in a hurry, a smile like a clear spring appeared on his face: "Smile."

"Sambo, why are you here today? I thought I wouldn't see you until the end of the imperial examination." Qin Xiao said with a smile. Knowing that he had already visited his mother-in-law, he sat on the other side of the tea table and chatted with him.

.

"The show officially ends tomorrow. I want to relax today, so I came to see you." Sanbao pushed a pack of snacks he brought towards her: "I found a few fresh foods while passing by the market. You can try them."

The cook in the house can cook a lot of delicious food. Qin Xiaoxiao has not eaten snacks from outside for a long time. When she heard that this was something she had never tasted before, she opened the oil paper bag with great interest: "You are the most thoughtful, look.

Whenever you find something delicious, don’t forget to bring it to me.”

"Brother-in-law, won't you buy it for you?" Sanbao helped her open the other two oil paper bags and found three rhubarbs looking at them. He picked out two pieces of prune and vegetable stuffed meat pie and stuffed them with rhubarb and Heitan, and gave them to Baa.

Me handed over a sweet made from flour.

The three guys were so happy that they hid in the corner with their own food in their mouths and started eating.

"Don't mention it, he is having trouble with me." Qin Xiaoxiao did not hide the secret from Sanbao, and told the story of the conflict between her and Jing Heng like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

She couldn't understand this matter, and it was hard to tell Princess Protector or Mingyue. Sanbao was her mother's family, so she had nothing to avoid. She also expected Sanbao to help her analyze it and see what Jingheng meant.

After hearing this, Sanbao was not surprised. The two people had a lot of quarrels when they were friends. The situation is different now. He asked worriedly: "Did he attack you or scold you?"

Qin Xiaoxiao quickly shook his head: "He won't do anything to me, nor will he curse. If he really does this, can I sit here and talk to you?"

Sanbao chuckled: "That's true."

According to Xiaoxiao's temper, she was going to file a complaint with Princess Protector that night. If Princess Protector favored her son, Xiaoxiao would not stay here in vain and suffer the anger of mother and son.

"Sambo, please stop laughing at me." Qin Xiaoxiao stuffed a piece of pie into her mouth in distress. She found that the skin was crispy and tasted delicious. She couldn't help but pick another piece: "Help me think about him.

Why are you angry!"

Sanbao saw that she still didn't forget to eat at such a time, and suddenly she understood why Jingheng was angry, and she felt a rare sympathy for him: "Xiaoxiao, brother-in-law is angry that you don't care enough about him."

When Qin Xiaoxiao heard this, he couldn't wait to defend: "I don't care. Even with more than ten years of friendship, I can't not care. What's more, he and I are husband and wife now."

Sanbao said helplessly: "I didn't say you don't care, but you don't care enough. If you particularly care about your brother-in-law, he has been annoyed with you these days. I'm afraid you are not in the mood to sit here and taste these food."

Qin Xiaoxiao's hands picking up the cakes paused, and what she hadn't yet swallowed was stuck in her throat.

Thinking that she didn't understand, Sanbao said more straightforwardly: "No matter whether you are a human or an animal, your heart is greedy. If your brother-in-law cares a lot about you, he hopes you can return the favor."

The more he cares about it, the more greedy he becomes and wants more. Isn't he the same?

"Is that so..." Qin Xiaoxiao stuffed a piece of pie into her mouth unconsciously, feeling that what Sanbao said made sense, but also felt that something was wrong.

How does she know how much Brother Li cares about her and how much she cares about Brother Li? She feels that she already cares a lot, but Brother Li doesn't think so. Isn't this a contradiction?

There's no way to measure things like this with a ruler.

Seeing her confused look, Sanbao felt secretly happy in his heart, and felt that it was really despicable.

After all, the desire for harmony between their husband and wife took over, and he began to give her advice: "Even if you care about your brother-in-law only five points, you still have to show ten points."

Qin Xiaoxiao murmured: "Isn't this deception? And if it can be deceived for a while, it can be deceived for a lifetime?"

Sanbao said firmly: "Brother-in-law may not be able to see it, but he is willing to be deceived by you."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't believe it: "In that case, what's the point of doing this? I will get tired if I pretend for too long."

Sanbao lowered his eyes and said: "You and your brother-in-law are husband and wife, and he is the person who will accompany you for life. What brother-in-law wants is for you to truly take him into your heart and make up your mind to walk through this life hand in hand with him."

The last sentence was like thunder exploding in Qin Xiaoxiao's ears. She finally understood why her words annoyed people that day.

Yes, Brother Li wanted to join hands with her for the rest of his life, but she had no such determination.

From the beginning, she passively accepted Brother Li's feelings. She always thought that if Brother Li dared to break their agreement, she and Brother Li would break up and go their separate ways. She never thought about trying to maintain this marriage.

I'm afraid Brother Li has already figured it out. What she said that day was just a lead that made him explode.

In the final analysis, she was the one who made Brother Li feel uneasy and made him distrust her, thinking that she would leave at any time.

No matter it was before or after marriage, big or small, Brother Li was always considerate of her and helping her, but she herself took all of this as a matter of course, just saying a few nice words to coax him, not even saying much.

Be careful.

If she were in Brother Li's position, she would be worried about gains and losses like this.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaoxiao let out a long breath and knew what to do.

At the end of the day, Jingheng, who had been busy all day, finally left the government office, got on his horse and walked through the bustling market towards the Princess Protector's Mansion. His eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of a stall selling oily fruits with many people lined up in front of him.

I couldn't help but take a second look.

Shitou immediately dismounted, took out three times the money and bought the hot oily fruit that had just come out of the pot from a diner, and hurriedly handed it to his master.

"Nothing!" Jing Heng scolded with a cold face, but he reached out to take it, clamped his legs around the horse's belly, and accelerated towards the house.

Shitou didn't dare to complain, so he got on his horse and followed closely behind him.

The master and servant arrived at the princess mansion one after another, and unexpectedly found an extra person at the door.

"Brother Li, you're back!" When Qin Xiaoxiao saw the people coming on horseback, she quickly picked up her skirt and ran down the steps. On her smiling face, it was not obvious that the two of them were having an quarrel.

Jing Heng tightened the reins of his horse and looked at her in surprise.

"Brother Li, come down quickly. Mother is still waiting for us to eat in the dining room." Qin Xiaoxiao reached out and tugged on his sleeve, urging him to get off his horse.

Jing Heng felt the warmth from her fingertips and was sure that it was his wife with whom he had been having trouble for a few days, and that it was not an hallucination caused by his deafness and blindness, but there was always a sense of unreality in his heart.

This was the first time that she stood at the door waiting for him to come back after they had been married for so long.

Suppressing all the thoughts in his heart, Jing Heng got off his horse and threw the reins to the guard who came to hold the horse. He still held the warm oil paper bag in his hand.

"Brother Li, are you buying this for me?" Qin Xiaoxiao smelled the sweetness of the fruit and looked at him with bright eyes.

Jing Heng's face froze, and he was about to throw the oil paper bag to the stone with his backhand. After thinking about it, he felt that this was too deliberate, and said with a cold face: "I bought it for myself!"
