  Chapter 366 A Bizarre Thing

  Recalling her pranks at the banquet, she smiled enviously and said: "She is like an outsider, living a carefree life."

  Su Yongqing stared blankly at his wife's flowery smile, implying the innocence of a girl and her longing for the future. How long has it been since he saw it?

   It seems that it started when his mother let him accept Xiaomei. In the following days, her smile became more and more formulaic...

   "What are you thinking about?" Madam Su poked his chest.

  Su Yongqing grasped her little hand, and smiled awkwardly twice: "Oh, I will go out for a few days tomorrow, you take good care of yourself and the children at home, I... I, I and my husband went to the study first."

  Mrs. Su looked at the husband's messy footsteps hurriedly in a daze.

   Tch! A man's heart is a needle in the bottom of the sea, which is hard to fathom.

  …

   On the second day, because we were going back to the village, everyone got up early and finished breakfast, then gathered at the gate.

   When Yang Laner took the children out, she saw that everyone was ready.

  Tan Anjun looked at the children and asked with a smile, "Are you riding in the back carriage, or in the same carriage as your mother?"

   "Daddy, mother, let's take a car with my brother and sister." Yu'er replied.

   "You sit in the carriage behind and be obedient."

   "Got it, Daddy."

   The party sat down and went to the gate of the city.

  Xiao Ruo sat in the carriage to chat with Yang Lan'er this time.

   "Ma'am, are we going back to the valley this time?"

  Yang Lan'er took the honey water she soaked, and said with a smile: "See how your master arranged it. If I want to go, I have to go tomorrow."

   "Oh," Xiao Ruo glanced at Tan Anjun who was dozing on the wooden couch, and shrank her neck, but she didn't dare to ask.

   "Xiao Ruo, do you like to practice martial arts?"

   "Hey, I kind of like it."

  Yang Laner smiled: "You can practice with the children in the morning and afternoon when you go back this time. If you can persevere, I will teach you another set of inner skills and mental methods."

  Xiao Ruo was overwhelmed with surprise, and grabbed Yang Lan'er's hand, "Ma'am, are you serious?"

   "Well, really."

  Happiness was caught off guard. Holding his thumping chest, he grinned and promised: "Madam, I will definitely practice hard. If I learn something in the future, I will be able to protect Madam's safety."

   "Well, you have to practice hard every day when you go back. My wife is waiting for your protection." Yang Lan'er patted her on the shoulder.

  Out of the city gate, Tan Anjun got up and went out.

  Before getting out of the carriage, he glanced at Xiao Ruo meaningfully.

  Yang Lan'er lifted the curtain of the car window, and saw Tan Anjun and Su Yongyuan standing together not far away, what were they talking to the two men opposite?

  Because Tan Anjun blocked her, she couldn't see the face of the man opposite, she looked away and saw Xiao Jiu beside the carriage, and asked, "Xiao Jiu, who is your master talking to?"

  Xiao Jiu hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Madam, Tou and Mr. Su are talking to the county magistrate."

   "Oh," Yang Lan'er lowered the curtain thoughtfully, and found that her waist was a little sore after sitting for a long time, so she half-lyed on the wooden couch.

  Xiao Ruo moved to the side of the couch, and said in a low voice: "Madam, let me tell you a strange thing, do you want to hear it?"

  Yang Lan'er closed her eyes and asked lightly, "Oh, what's the matter?"

   "When our family's chickens and geese returned home yesterday evening, Mrs. Xu counted that four chickens were missing and two geese were missing."

  Yang Lan'er couldn't help but opened her eyes and looked at her silently, then lowered her eyes and smiled dryly: "Did he run away or was killed by other animals?"
