C84

This was the first time Dong Shu went far away. On the road, she had looked at the weeds by the side of the road and found them beautiful.

But after a few days, she found that it was too boring to sit in the Mule Cart all day.

Although Yuanxi had slowly grown up and was becoming more and more fun, Dong Shu, who was traveling for the first time, was still not used to sitting in a Mule Cart for so long.

In the first two days, Xu Shiqiu did not notice anything strange about Dong Shu, but after a few more days, when they were halfway through their journey and were resting in a small town at noon, he realised how tired her Young Girl was.

In the only inn in the town, Xu Shiqiu, Dong Shu and the Old Madame Xu were sitting together at four tables.

Xu Shiqiu had only spoken a few sentences with Old Madame Xu, but when he looked at Dong Shu opposite his again, she had a light snack in his mouth, and his head was rolling on the verge of falling asleep.

Old Madame Xu originally wanted to say more, but she could feel that after Xu Shiqiu's gaze stopped moving, she had also looked at Dong Shu.

"We will rest here for the day tomorrow and continue on our journey the next morning."

Once Old Madame Xu finished, Xu Shiqiu immediately understood what he meant.

According to their original plan, the reason why they had set up camp in the town at noon today was to rest, replenish their rations and speed up their journey tomorrow morning.

However, due to the fatigue on Dong Shu's face, Old Madame Xu suggested to rest for one more day tomorrow.

"Alright, I'll go and make the arrangements later. It's also a good opportunity for everyone to rest."

As Xu Shiqiu said this, he also quickly calculated the time in his heart. After confirming that he would not delay his schedule for a day of rest, he immediately ordered for it to be done.

But after giving out the orders, Xu Shiqiu quickly finished the tea in the cup in front of him, and then looked at Old Madame Xu: "I'll accompany my wife back to her room to rest first, and only go see my wife when she wakes up."

Old Madame Xu did not feel that it was bad for Dong Shu to be asleep in the main hall at the moment. This town was not flourishing, so Xu Family and the rest had already booked up the entire inn.

Currently, the innkeeper's family lived in the backyard, and all the servants served in front were their Xu Family.

Since they were all family members, of course Xu Shiqiu would continue to spoil Dong Shu.

Even though Old Madame Xu was old, it wasn't the first time she went far away from home. Furthermore, while she was sitting inside the Mule Cart by herself, she could lie down at any time.

The same Mule Cart, was naturally comfortable for him alone.

Dong Shu blurrily led Dong Shu back to her room. She knew that this place was not Shihuan Courtyard, but when she saw the familiar blanket on the bed, she still used her last bit of strength she had to throw herself at it.

She would not remember what happened after that.

After Xu Shiqiu carefully removed the bun on Dong Shu's head and took off her shirt, he accompanied his to sleep for a while.

A familiar aura enveloped him, and Dong Shu directly slept for an hour before completely waking up.

Dong Shu who had just woken up was still confused, hearing the familiar voice, she tilted her head and looked over.

Xu Shiqiu sat by the side of the bed, holding Yuanxi who was looking at him and grinning.

Upon seeing Yuanxi laughing, Dong Shu immediately sat up in joy: "Yuanxi knows how to laugh?"

"Yes." In fact, Xu Shiqiu noticed it the moment he woke up, but he was holding onto Yuanxi who was just laughing, and was unwilling to look away.

"I just found it." After saying that, Xu Shiqiu turned to look at Dong Shu and said, "We, Yuanxi, really look very good when we smile."

Dong Shu had gotten used to Xu Shiqiu's silly look every time he faced his, so she raised her hand to touch Yuanxi's small face. Perhaps because she had felt a familiar aura from him, Yuanxi snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Yuanxi is probably hungry, give it to me." Now that Dong Shu had woken up from her slumber, she sat up straight and took Yuanxi over, preparing to feed her.

However, just as his hand was about to move, he felt his master's burning gaze land on his body.

"Hubby." Dong Shu called out tenderly. Seeing that Xu Shiqiu did not react, she could not help but be embarrassed and said, "Master, I want to feed Yuanxi. Turn around."

Xu Shiqiu said in a serious tone, but after hearing her words, he asked in a puzzled tone: "Why do you need to turn around?" After saying this, he lowered his voice and continued, "I've seen it."

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu instantly understood what he meant.

After she bit her lips helplessly, Dong Shu could only hug Yuanxi and turn around, using her back to block's sight.

Seeing the Young Girl escaping from his line of sight, Xu Shiqiu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After hearing Xu Shiqiu's laughter, Dong Shu immediately turned and glared at him angrily.

But what Dong Shu herself did not know, was that her staring eyes truly did not have any killing intent.

Not only did it not harm her, Xu Shiqiu only wanted to kiss her as he looked at her unblinking eyes.

Other than this, what Xu Shiqiu missed was the scene that appeared in front of his eyes when he turned around.

Unfortunately …

Xu Shiqiu took a glance at the package wrapped Yuanxi faintly see.

Thinking about how his daughter hadn't fallen asleep yet, he really didn't dare to do anything.

Otherwise, if Young Girl was truly angry and embarrassed, he probably wouldn't be able to crawl into bed tonight.

He couldn't go to bed, he couldn't hug Young Girl. Xu Shiqiu thought about it, he really didn't want to lose such a joyous thing just for a moment of fun.

However, Xu Shiqiu calculated in his heart later on and was stunned to realize that ever since his wife became pregnant, he had not been intimate with her for almost a year.

After calculating the time, Xu Shiqiu became extremely unhappy.

However, his unhappiness was not shown on his face. He was just thinking whether he should rest tomorrow or not. He did not know if he could get intimate with his wife tonight.

Because of this matter, when Ling Xiang called them down for dinner in the evening, the moment she saw Old Madame Xu, he asked: "Mother, are you going to go out tomorrow?"

Old Madame Xu didn't care about Xu Shiqiu's thoughts for a while, but after hearing his words, he directly shook his head: "I'm not going out. After journeying for so many days, I am also quite tired. Taking advantage of tomorrow's rest, I will also rest here. "

The moment Old Madame Xu said this, Xu Shiqiu smiled and said: "Since mother does not want to go out, then we will rest here tomorrow." After saying that, Xu Shiqiu looked towards Dong Shu and said, "My wife has been tired too. She will sleep a bit more tomorrow and rest well."

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu did not give it much thought, she just assumed that her master saw through her fatigue and wanted him to rest more.

Dong Shu did not see through it, but when the Old Madame Xu heard him, she realized that there was something fishy going on.

However, when she saw Xu Shiqiu's serious face, she thought for a moment and did not continue pondering, and turned to look at Yuanxi who was in Dong Shu's embrace.

Yuanxi was now longer and bigger, and the time she slept was getting shorter and shorter. She, who had just woken up, was now in good spirits.

"Come, let me hug Yuanxi." When Old Madame Xu saw that Dong Shu had finished speaking, she waited until Yuanxi had sent him to her bosom before saying to Yuanxi who was in her embrace, "The longer the better."

In the first two days, Old Madame Xu was worried that Yuanxi was too young and wouldn't be able to adapt to the environment on the road.

But after so many days, Yuanxi didn't have any signs of suffering, but instead became more and more white and fat.

"With Doctor Du here, he would give Yuanxi a check-up once a day. The longer the better." Dong Shu looked at Old Madame Xu and just as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a few voices coming from the entrance of the inn.

Dong Shu heard the conversation outside the tavern, and so did the Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu who were sitting at the same table as her.

Raising his head, he looked in the direction of the voice.

With just a glance, Dong Shu was stunned.

Outside the door stood a man wearing a short shirt. The man's figure was about the same as Xu Shiqiu, and with just a glance, Dong Shu could guess that he was probably someone who cultivated martial arts like her husband.

However, this man's face was covered by a mask that covered the upper half of his face.

Dong Shu originally thought that the man was wearing a mask on his face on purpose, but when she saw the nail-sized burn marks on the side of his mask, she was sure that he really did have a burn on his face.

When Yan Ye noticed that the family within the tavern was looking at him, he immediately raised his head and sized them up.

The first person he looked at was Dong Shu, who had been sizing him up just now. After he finished looking at Dong Shu, he shifted his gaze towards Xu Shiqiu, and only in the end, did his gaze landed on Old Madame Xu, who was at the very top.

After clearly seeing Old Madame Xu's face, Yan Ye unnoticeably moved his body, and hid his slightly trembling hands behind his back.
