Chapter 247: Beauty Trap
"Xi'er, what's wrong?"
Hearing Mengxi calling him, Xiao Jun stopped and looked back, only to see Mengxi standing not far from him, breathing heavily. He was shocked, realizing that he had been so busy walking that he forgot that Xier had always been weak and could not keep up with him. He secretly blamed himself and stopped to wait for Mengxi.
Seeing Xiao Jun stop and wait for her, Mengxi breathed a sigh of relief. There was a fork in the road behind her, which led to a bamboo forest. Behind the bamboo forest was the pharmacy. She must lead Erye somewhere else at that fork in the road. At this time, she could not care about anything else and slowly caught up with Xiao Jun. Instead of following behind him as usual, she came directly to his side, deliberately slowed down her pace, and actually walked side by side with him.
Thinking that she had been having a hard time following him just now, Xiao Jun was overjoyed to see Mengxi actually walking side by side with him. He seemed to slow down his pace unintentionally so that Mengxi could keep up with him without feeling tired. He actually appreciated the flowers and plants on both sides of the road with Mengxi. They were no longer in a hurry to go on their way. The two of them walked slowly along the path. Mengxi pointed out the names of various flowers and plants to him and explained their uses. Xiao Jun was also secretly amazed at Mengxi's knowledge. Thinking of the room full of books that had disappeared in the south room, Xiao Jun became more and more confused besides admiring her. She must be hiding some secret from him.
Unconsciously, Mengxi and Xiaojun came to the last fork in the road. Xiaojun paused again, but Mengxi did not stop. She seemed to casually choose a small road and walked down. Zhiqiu and Zhixia, who were following behind, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xi'er, come here, let's take this road"
"Second Master, there is nothing behind that road. There is a small pond at the end of this road. There is a pavilion beside the pond with a stone table and stone benches. Second Master, you can rest in the pavilion and admire the lotus pods and lotus flowers in the pond."
"Xi'er, let's go to the pavilion another day. I smell a faint and strange fragrance in your backyard. It keeps floating around, even overshadowing the fragrance of hundreds of flowers and the strong aroma of medicine. It's rich and fragrant, refreshing. It's the first time I've smelled it. Xi'er, come here, let's go and see what kind of exotic flowers and plants can emit such a strong fragrance that even overshadows the fragrance of medicine. I've never seen it before."
After hearing this, Mengxi and the other two were stunned. The fragrance was the perfume Mengxi had just mixed. Xiao Jun came suddenly, and Mengxi was afraid that he would wait anxiously and come to the backyard, so she forgot to cover herself and hurried out without even locking the door.
Xiao Jun originally just came over to see what Mengxi was doing. On a whim, he wanted to go to the garden with her. He never expected that he would be attracted by the strong smell of perfume and run straight here. Mengxi wished she could find a piece of tofu and kill herself. How could she be so careless? She knew that Xiao Jun always liked strange fragrances and his nose was sharper than a dog's. He was born with the ability to distinguish all kinds of fragrances, and he would never forget them. It was said that every time Xiao Jun saw a strange fragrance, he would pounce on it like a cat seeing a fish. It would be best if he could get it, but if he couldn't, he would find a way to make it his own.
She glanced at Zhixia and Zhiqiu and saw that they were also at a loss, looking at her anxiously. She calmed herself down and followed Xiao Jun towards the path as if nothing had happened. After a while, they arrived at a bamboo forest.
"Xi'er is so skilled that she can grow bamboo from the south so well. I also tried to grow bamboo in the garden behind the main house, but it all withered in the end. The gardener later said that such plants could not be grown in the north. When I saw Xi'er's bamboo garden, I realized that the gardener's skills were not good enough and he couldn't grow the bamboo. There are always people who are better than you."
When Xiao Jun saw the lush bamboo forest, he was pleasantly surprised and began to praise it.
Oh, it’s because your Xiao family is rich that you can afford this bamboo forest. She just provided the method.
Mengxi felt a little embarrassed after hearing Xiao Jun's praise. She thought that only a bamboo forest could cover the pharmacy behind, so she transplanted a lot of bamboo here. Unexpectedly, in two years, it became a forest. It grew so well that Xiao Jun, who was as cold as an iceberg, envied it. With this bamboo forest, his Xiaoxiangyuan is now truly worthy of its name, but it's a pity that his surname is Xiao, not Jia.
Seeing that Xiao Jun did not stop because of the dense and tall bamboo forest, he continued to walk along the path into the depths of the bamboo forest. Mengxi patted his head, thinking that it was already so late, and he was still thinking about this. Looking at the foot of the second master, he would pass through the bamboo forest in a few steps.
"Second Master, there are a few stone benches over there. Why don't we go over there and take a rest for a while?"
Mengxi pointed to several stone benches outside the bamboo forest behind him and said.
"We are just a few steps away from the bamboo forest. Xi'er, let's go over and see what's behind it. It won't be too late to find a place to rest later."
Hearing Mengxi say that he wanted to take a rest, he pointed ahead without thinking, and suddenly saw Mengxi tightly grasping his sleeve. He turned his head and looked.
Mengxi looked pale and sweat was oozing out of her forehead. I thought she was really tired and felt distressed. I looked back and felt that the road behind was longer than the road ahead. It would be faster to go through the front and find a place. I reached out to support her, looked at the road under my feet, and walked forward carefully, saying:
"Xi'er, we are only a few steps away from the bamboo forest. Let me help you walk first, and then we can go out and find a place to rest for a while."
"Okay"
Mengxi responded helplessly, holding Xiaojun's arm and slowly moving forward a step, only to see her left foot just landed, her left knee suddenly felt sore and bent, her long skirt dragged on the ground, and was stepped on by her right foot that followed behind, she staggered and fell forward, and was held by Xiaojun, Mengxi threw herself into his arms. Xiaojun quickly stretched out his hands to hug her.
He looked down at his lovely wife in his arms. She didn't move away quickly as usual when she touched him. Now she was hugging him tightly with her face pressed against his arms. What happened to Xi'er today? Why was she so abnormal?
Looking at the beads of sweat oozing from her pale face, his eyes looked at her feet, and he felt that her feet seemed to be weak. At this moment, almost the weight of her whole body was on him. He suddenly remembered that she had been punished by her mother to kneel and her knees were injured. He had been punished to kneel several times these days, and he really experienced the pain of kneeling. Fortunately, there was the prescription Xier sent to apply on his legs. Maybe Xier had already developed a chronic disease before she got the prescription. Now that she has walked for such a long time, her old injury has relapsed. Thinking of her usual strength, she actually wanted to rest again and again today. It must be that her old injury has relapsed a long time ago, but she refused to tell him and was forcing herself to endure it. Now she really can't stand it anymore, so she shows a little weakness. Thinking of this, Xiao Jun felt a pang of heartache, and hugged Mengxi tightly with both hands:
"Xi'er..."
"Second Master, my knees are sore and my feet are so weak. Well, well, I want to go back to my room to rest for a while."
Mengxi buried her head in the second master's arms and spoke timidly, with a blush slowly climbing up from her neck to her cheeks, gradually covering up her original paleness. At this moment, her heart was beating fast. She was so afraid that the shrewd Xiao Jun would see through her honey trap and push her away to check what was behind the bamboo forest. The consequences...
Hearing Meng Xi's soft words, Xiao Jun was stunned for a moment, trembling all over. Xi'er had never spoken to him in this tone. What did she say? She said her feet were weak, she said she wanted to go back to her room to rest. Was this her invitation to him, asking him to carry her back? Xiao Jun couldn't believe his , and looked down at his wife in his arms in confusion, only to see her face flushed, and the tightly pressed chest made him clearly feel her flustered heartbeat.
If he doesn't understand, he is a pig!
After a long time, just when Mengxi's nervous heart was about to jump out and she was almost in despair, Xiao Jun suddenly picked her up and held her sideways, holding her soft and fragrant body in his arms. He had long forgotten about the rich and refreshing fragrance!
"Xi'er, let your husband carry you back to your room."
Hearing that Xiao Jun was finally willing to go back to the room, Mengxi was excited for a moment. She had no idea that he had just called himself husband in an ambiguous way. She took the opportunity to put her head on Xiao Jun's shoulder, and looked over his shoulder to signal to the two maids who had been stunned for a long time. Seeing that they were puzzled, she quickly put her other hand around Erye's neck, and gestured with her fingers behind Erye, pointing to the depths of the bamboo forest. Seeing that Zhiqiu finally understood that she wanted them to hurry up and deal with the things in the pharmacy, she nodded to her to indicate that she understood, and then she obediently lay on Xiao Jun's shoulder, put her arms around his neck and acted like a turtle.
When Xiao Jun saw Mengxi hugging him so tenderly, he was in high spirits for a moment, and he felt a breeze under his feet, and even his steps became much lighter. He turned around and walked back. When he turned around, he met Zhiqiu's big eyes. His heart skipped a beat. This girl actually ruined his good thing. Would she snatch his wife from his arms halfway this time? He had better get away quickly before she comes to her senses. Thinking of this, Xiao Jun actually turned around and walked diagonally into the bamboo forest.
Staring at the Erye who was walking away, Zhiqiu couldn't understand why the Erye didn't walk on the road, which was clearly there and he had just walked on, but instead went through the bamboo forest from afar. What did he want to do?
Shaking her head, never mind. The real thing now was to rush to the pharmacy to destroy the body. Even if the Second Master really ate Second Grandma, she couldn't stop him now. Let him eat her. This would be a good opportunity to delay the Second Master. After all, they had been married and consummated the marriage. Compared with the Second Grandma's innocence, the consequences of the Second Master discovering the pharmacy would be more serious. Zhiqiu struggled with her conscience and finally made a great decision. It would be better to sacrifice her Second Grandma at this time.
If Mengxi knew what Zhiqiu was thinking now, she would definitely burst into tears.
Oh my god, what kind of people did she support! She was so disloyal, she sold her out at the critical moment!
I carried Mengxi back to the east wing and entered the north room. It was quiet and no one was there.
It turned out that Zhidong was guarding outside the front door. Erye came back from the back door with such light footsteps that Zhidong didn't hear him.
Reluctantly, Mengxi gently placed her on the bed. Mengxi took advantage of the situation to roll inside and sat up, but saw Xiao Jun turned around and walked out. Mengxi was startled. He was not in a hurry to go back and check what was going on. After all, she was guilty and didn't care about her modesty. She grabbed Xiao Jun's clothes:
"Second Master!"
"Xi'er, I'll go get someone to call the doctor. What's wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Hearing Mengxi's cry, Xiao Jun stopped and looked back at Mengxi on the bed. She was holding him nervously, with a look of reluctance, and her red lips were tender and tempting. His heart was moved, and he could not move forward. He hurriedly explained to Mengxi, his voice was a little hoarse.
Hearing him say this, Mengxi finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of the fierce waves just now, the blush that had just disappeared climbed up her cheeks again.
