The sound of officers and soldiers searching in the village in front was noisy, and the field slope not far away fell into deathly silence.

Tan Ting realized what he had said and immediately felt that something was wrong. He just looked at the faint smile on his wife's lips and felt a prick in his heart.

"Yizhen, I..."

He wanted to say that he didn't mean it, but in his wife's slowly lowered eyes, he didn't say it out for some reason.

After all, could he say that she was overthinking?

Every word he just said has nothing to do with what his father-in-law Xiang Zhiyuan did, right?

Tan Ting didn't want to describe it more and more darkly, and didn't speak again for a while.

However, Xiang Yi got off his horse amidst the increasingly urgent search sounds from ahead.

She lowered her head and saluted Tan Ting.

"Master, there is no need to stop him. The affairs of the common people have nothing to do with him. Master, please go home first."

After Xiang Yi finished speaking, he raised his feet and prepared to leave.

Tan Ting saw that she didn't even want to ride the Tan family's horse anymore, and was just about to leave. His heart tightened, and he got off the horse.

As soon as Xiang Yi took a step forward, the man grabbed his wrist.

She couldn't help turning her head to look at him, wondering how he was preparing for this?

She had no intention of letting him take action, but she couldn't stay out of it.

She thought her attitude had been made very clear.

But she looked over and saw that the man was still holding her wrist with no intention of letting go.

Xiang Yi frowned.

The wind in the fields blew between the two of them, the sun was covered by a thick layer of clouds, and the wind was cold and biting.

Tan Ting knew that if he just let her leave like this, he really couldn't explain it, but how could a villain like Yang Muhong be worth saving...

He didn't let go of Xiang Yi for a while, and the two of them They were stuck in the cold wind for a moment.

At this time, the noise of manhunts in the distance gradually stopped, and the faint voices of officers and soldiers reporting back could be heard.

"Going back to Qianhu, no suspicious person was found in every search."

No suspicious person was found in every search?

Xiang Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Tan Ting was inexplicably relieved in that voice.

He looked at his wife who was clutching her hand tightly, and saw her frown dropped a bit, but when she felt his gaze, she turned her head again.

There was silence between the two of them again.

On the contrary, Chen Fu, who was searching nearby, found the couple and was surprised and came immediately.

When Chen Fuyou approached, Xiang Yi didn't want to tangle with the old man anymore and hurriedly pulled away his wrist.

As soon as she broke free, Tan Ting could only let go of her.

In the next breath, she stepped aside, leaving a big step away from him.

Tan Ting felt a prick in his heart when he saw it, but Chen Fu came forward, and it was no longer convenient for them to have many words in front of this man.

Chen Fuyou took a quick look at the two of them, and saw that they had no one with them, just one person holding a horse, and he understood.

"Master Tan and his wife are really interested in elegance. They go out to race horses as soon as the weather warms up?"

Xiang Yi greeted him.

Naturally, Tan Ting would not deny Chen Fuyou's statement, but his peripheral vision fell on his wife.

It turned out that they did take advantage of the warm weather to go horse racing...

Tan Ting just pretended to be unintentional and nodded to Chen Fu and asked him a question.

"Master Chen is here on official business? I wonder if someone has been caught?"

Chen Fuyou had previously sent a letter to Tan Ting, hinting that he would not interfere, but he did not hesitate to do so now.

He shook his head, "It's a pity that the man named Yang ran away."

As soon as he said this, Tan Ting saw his wife heaving a sigh of relief and slowly closing her eyes.

He also breathed a sigh of relief.

If Chen Fu really caught Yang Muhong this time, he really didn't know what he would do.

Now that they were at peace for the time being, Tan Ting had no other words to say.

Chen Fu was ready to continue arresting people, but this was the first time he saw the wife of the eldest son of the Tan family. He suddenly thought of something and glanced at Xiang Yi deliberately.

Tan Ting, the eldest son of the Tan family, took the position of eldest son due to his father's early death before he got married.

He is young and promising, and even the four major families value him very much. The Cheng and Li clans are even more interested in marrying their legitimate daughter to him, not to mention other aristocratic families.

But Tan Ting actually fulfilled the old engagement and married Xiang Zhiyuan's daughter.

Moreover, this woman came to the door with the marriage certificate herself.

Chen Fuyou only listened to the words and thought she was that shrewd and ignorant woman. Unexpectedly, he was really surprised when he saw her today.

The woman has a beautiful appearance, is elegant and polite, and behaves in an elegant manner. She seems to be a perfect match for Tan Ting...

But they have different worlds, so what if they are a perfectly matched couple?

That's all in the past, in the future, Tan and Xiang will not be able to live together for long...

Chen Fu's thoughts flashed across his mind, and he left the two of

them. They didn't know what he was thinking. Instead, he left. Tan Ting looked down at his wife and whispered.

"They didn't catch anyone. Let's go home, okay?"

Xiang Yi walked to the horse silently, got on the horse, and headed in the direction of Tan Mansion.

This time she was in front, and Tan Ting followed her. The two of them arrived at the house one after another.

Xiang Yi naturally wanted to return to the main courtyard, but the Tan family uncle did not go to the outer study, but actually followed her to the main courtyard.

Xiang Yi lowered his eyes and said nothing. At this moment, Yang Zhen and the others just returned to their house.

Yang Zhen caught the cold on the ground, and her hands and feet were a little cold.

Tan Jian was worried about her and was very anxious.

Yang Zhen, on the other hand, didn't care, "What are you afraid of? When the wind blows, who can just drink two bowls of ginger soup? Do you

want to ask sister-in-law?" Tan Jian hurried over and asked Xiang Yi, "Sister-in-law, do you want to invite me ?" Doctor?"

"Yes." Xiang Yi didn't hesitate and immediately asked the doctor to come for consultation.

Then he said, "I will go with you to Xia Yingxuan."

After saying that, he went directly with Tan Jian and Yang Zhen.

Tan Ting just watched her go away, but after all, her younger brother and sister were sick, so how could he follow her? I could only watch my wife leave like this.

...

In the evening, Ms. Zhao invited everyone to have dinner together in Qiu Zhaoyuan as usual.

Tan Ting had gone there early, and no one else had arrived yet. Mrs. Zhao was a little surprised to see that he had arrived first.

Tan Ting was silent and looked outside a few times. Xia Yingxuan had not come yet, but Tan Rong had arrived.

Naturally, Tan Rong had nothing to say to his eldest brother, but Zhao called Tan Ting and discussed Tan Rong's marriage with him.

It stands to reason that Tan Rong is the only girl in the Tan family, and she can become a clan wife no matter which family she marries.

But Mrs. Zhao, who had been a patriarchal wife, just wanted her daughter to find a decent man and live a life of peace of mind.

Tan Ting had no objections. It was a good thing for her sister to live a happy life without having to get married.

However, Zhao had not yet decided who he wanted to appoint, so he called for consultant Tan Ting. Tan Ting thought he could see what his sister wanted.

If she likes it, it's always good. If there is a gap between husband and wife, life will always be difficult...

He simply told Mrs. Zhao what he meant, then returned to the hall and looked out again. After a few glances, Xia Yingxuan came.

Yang Zhen was ill, and Tan Jian stayed to take care of her. Only Xiang Yi came by himself.

She saw him as soon as she entered the courtyard, but she did not rush to the hall. She only stood under the porch and gave instructions about setting the meal.

In Qiuzhaoyuan, Tan Ting was naturally inconvenient to say anything. After seeing that she had given her instructions, he slowly walked into the hall, greeted Mr. Zhao, saluted with him, sat next to Tan Rong and asked Tan Rong a few words.

Her eyes returned to their usual calmness, and she acted without any emotion.

But Tan Ting looked at his wife quietly, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

Tan Jian and Yang Zhen didn't come, so the dining hall was much deserted.

Xiang Yi was always quiet, Tan Ting couldn't speak, and Tan Rong was distracted. Only Zhao gave a wink to Aunt Wu beside her.

The porridge and water that Nanny Wu served Xiang Yi did not come from everyone's soup cup, but from another special stew cup.

As soon as the porridge that was different from everyone else came up, Xiang Yi and Tan Ting all noticed it except Tan Rong who was distracted.

Aunt Wu didn't explain, she just smiled and let Xiang Yi try it.

"It was the old lady who gave her some health care."

Although Xiang Yi has become a little slimmer, she rarely asks doctors to see her. What can Mrs. Zhao give her for no reason?

Xiang Yi understood Zhao's thoughts instantly and thanked him softly.

But Tan Ting had a gloomy look in his eyes.

The aunt wanted Yi Zhen to stay pregnant, but he wanted to take her to Beijing.

If she were pregnant, it would be inconvenient for her to follow him to Beijing after the long journey.

And she probably didn't want to have children with him that much...

Tan Ting felt very depressed and was trying to find an excuse so that she wouldn't have to drink this bowl of medicinal food to help her get pregnant.

But before he could think of words, he saw that his wife didn't seem to hesitate at all and used the porridge and water.

Tan Ting was stunned, but there was still no emotion on her face and she continued to take care of everyone eating.

Everything is no different from before.

But Tan Ting's heart dropped in the midst of this same situation.

He thought about it and planned to have a nice chat with her in the evening, but Yang Zhen had a fever that night, so she went directly to Xia Yingxuan after having dinner at Qiuzhaoyuan.

Tan Ting sent her all the way to Xia Yingxuan's door. Seeing that she entered Xia Yingxuan's house without looking back, he had to temporarily return to the study in the outer courtyard.

...

Fortunately, Yang Zhen had always been strong and recovered after two quarters of an hour of fever.

Xiang Yi saw that nothing happened to her, so he returned to the main courtyard.

The main courtyard was so quiet that it seemed to be wrapped in a curtain of night. There was no sound, only the night wind blew a green spring tree in the courtyard.

The uncle is not here.

Xiang Yi wanted to go back to the past, so he sat down in front of the desk, took out the unfinished chapter, and continued working.

But for some reason today, I held the carving knife in my hand, but I forgot where to strike.

Tan Ting's words on the field slope during the day suddenly appeared in her ears -

"Yizhen must be that person. He may not really care about the common people, but he has finally passed the imperial examination." He is a villain, but his thoughts are not on the people.

"Don't think that such people have any difficulties or regrets. They are just focused on their own selfish desires and are not worthy of sympathy! "

The words rang in his ears, and Xiang Yi closed his eyes.

But at this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and someone came from Qiuzhaoyuan.

Aunt Wu came on Zhao's order.

Although the medicinal diet is good, if the uncle There was no movement from the wife, so what's the use of this medicinal meal?

Today is not a Friday day, but Mrs. Zhao asked Aunt Wu to bring a piece of incense to the main courtyard.

Aunt Wu smiled and called Xiang Yi. "Ma'am, please light up tonight. "

Xiang Yi looked at the spices quietly and agreed.

...

When Tan Ting came back in the evening, she smelled the changed aroma in the room.

She always only used light soothing incense before going to bed . Yes, but the scent that was changed this time was a bit stronger, with a hint of joy.

Tan Ting didn't know what the scent was, but when he saw that his wife had changed the scent, he thought that her mood had also changed, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Before she could come forward, he changed his clothes.

It was getting late. Seeing him like this, Xiang Yi called for someone to pour water to wash up.

The two of them washed up early, and Xiang Yi blew out the light. .

The incense hinting at joy floated quietly in the quiet room.

Tan Ting saw his wife extinguishing all the lights and went straight into the tent.

He thought it would be good if there was no one else here, so they could talk easily.

The smell of fresh incense filled the tent. Xiang

Yi was wearing only a thin coat.

She understood clearly what Zhao meant. Before leaving, Grandma Wu even ordered the people below to boil the water. Get up.

Xiang Yi lowered his head and straightened the brocade quilt.

Tan Ting didn't know about Grandma Wu's arrival. He only saw his wife sitting quietly in the tent.

But as soon as he came in, he noticed that he was in the tent. The breath stopped for a moment.

In the next breath, the wife untied her clothes silently.

The thin clothes fell from her shoulders, and the thin white shoulders under her slender neck were exposed to the cold air.

Shocking.

Tan Ting suddenly understood.

Tan Ting hurriedly reached out and grabbed her clothes.

"Yizhen, don't do this..." Tan Ting

looked up

at her . The center of his eyes felt like someone was holding him, and he felt a sudden pain.

He was stunned, and his mouth was full of bitterness...

"Don't let us talk to each other first, okay?" "
