After marrying a rough man, I played mahjong to support Shoufu

Chapter 286 Returning to Beijing
Qinghe town gradually disappeared behind, Shen Xian put down the curtain of the car, holding a mahjong tile carved from purple star jade.

The regent killed all the people for a set of mahjong tiles, but he missed one.

"I don't know if this deck of cards can be of any use."

The north wind blows snowflakes, and the long road is covered by heavy snow. While driving, Daniu and Laifu breathe out to warm their hands, and their ears and cheeks are red from the cold.

After a day's journey in wind and snow, he finally arrived in the capital after nightfall.

Although it's only a few days away from home, Shen Xian misses his warm kotatsu and his stupid big man very much at this moment.

The carriage stopped at the door, and the old butler ran out wearing a thick cotton coat with his hands in his sleeves.

"Ma'am, you are back, you have worked hard along the way!"

Shen Xian got off the carriage cautiously, and asked: "Where is my husband? Are you back?"

The old housekeeper shook his head, "Master has been staying in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for the past few days, I'll go find someone to inform him."

"Alright, no matter how busy you are with business, you have to combine work and rest."

Yan Chongluan poked his head out of the carriage, and said in a clear voice: "Sister-in-law, I won't bother you today, I'll go back first!"

Shen Xian did not expect Yan Chongluan not to come in for hot pot today, but it is so late today, she is not interested in preparing.

"Then be careful on the road, don't be abducted by someone!"

Yan Chongluan couldn't help laughing wryly when he thought of his being kidnapped.

After watching Yan Chongluan leave, Shen Xian turned around and entered the mansion.

"correct."

Shen Xian turned around suddenly, looked at the old housekeeper and pointed at Daniu, "Daniu was terribly windy, snowy and cold all the way, so this month's salary will be doubled."

The old housekeeper responded with a smile, and then shouted at Daniel who was cleaning the snow on the horse's back: "Did you hear that, Daniel! Madam is going to give you processing money!"

When Daniel heard it, his heart felt warm like a stove was burning.

"Thank you ma'am, thank you ma'am!"

Since coming to the Zhao family, Daniel has taken a lot of rewards for his wages. This time his wages have doubled, so he can live comfortably this year.

At this time, Daniu thanked Ergou from the bottom of his heart, but fortunately he told himself that the Zhao family was good, otherwise he would not know what he had become.

Shen Xian explained the matter, hurried back to the house, curled up his legs and entered the kotatsu.

Dou Sha noticed Shen Xian's return, and meowed in the kotatsu.

Caressing Dou Sha's hair, Shen Xian couldn't help worrying about Hong Ye, whether she would stay well in the old man's restaurant in such a cold weather.

"Looks like I'm going to pass by tomorrow to have a look."

Dou Sha seemed to understand Shen Xian's thoughts, raised her head and let out a long meow.

After waiting for about half an hour, Shen Xian had already huddled into a sleepy ball.

The door of the room was pushed open, and several snowflakes flew in.

Before the snowflakes fell to the ground, they were scalded by the warm temperature in the room and turned into water droplets and sprinkled on the ground.

Zhao Shun shook off the flying snow on his body, entered the room lightly, and sat silently beside Shen Xian.

Shen Xian heard a rustling sound, and opened his eyes in a daze.

"Sir, you are back."

With a sticky voice, very sleepy, Zhao Shun blamed himself and said, "Did I disturb you?"

"No, I miss you."

Shen Xian propped up one arm and wrapped it around Zhao Shun's waist.

Holding Shen Xian in his arms, Zhao Shun was in a complicated mood, he didn't know how to tell Shen Xian about Hongye.

"Miss."

"Huh?" Shen Xian rubbed his head against Zhao Shun.

Zhao Shun's expression was slightly solemn, "Something happened to Hongye."

Shen Xian was taken aback, and quickly raised his head to look at Zhao Shun.

"What happened?"

Seeing the worried eyes of the little daughter-in-law, Zhao Shun said slowly: "She was taken away by the government for questioning because she had a conflict with local hooligans. Hongye's true identity."

Shen Xian grabbed Zhao Shun's palm nervously, "And then? What will happen to Sister Hongye?"

Zhao Shun stretched out his free hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a deep voice, "Her case is in the Ministry of Criminal Justice. If there is no special reason, I'm afraid she will be executed the day after tomorrow."

"How could this be? Then what's the point of me going to Qinghe Town?"

For a while, Shen Xian found it hard to accept, and his mood fell instantly.

Zhao Shun stretched out his hand to gently comfort Shen Xian's back, "I went to see her yesterday, and she didn't know where the conflict between her family and Yu Wenji arose, and there was no room for maneuver."

Hearing this, Shen Xian raised his head, and said with a serious expression: "I know about this."

The lights are luxuriant, and the wind and snow are whirling.

Shen Xian informed Zhao Shun of the information Yan Chongluan inquired one by one.

Knowing that Yu Wenji had destroyed everyone with a pair of mahjong, Zhao Shun punched the table, startled the bean paste underneath, and then hid in the corner with his tail curled up.

"Yu Wenji treats the people like worthless things, and has another debt of blood."

Shen Xian hastily helped Zhao Shun, and put the mahjong tiles hidden in his sleeve on the table.

"It was given to me by a neighbor near Hongye's house. It seems that Yu Wenji missed one of the mahjong tiles he took away."

Seeing this mahjong made of star purple jade, Zhao Shun quickly suppressed the anger in his heart and muttered.

Since Yu Wenji thinks that mahjong is more important than human life, if he completes this picture of purple jade mahjong with stars, maybe Yuwen can give Hongye a break.

"My lady, what do you think of this..."

When Zhao Shun told his plan, Shen Xian frowned faintly. Although this idea might succeed, it still took a lot of risk.

Although Shen Xian wanted to save Hongye, he didn't want Zhao Shun to be in danger.

"Sir, are you sure?"

"Ninety-nine is not far from ten." Zhao Shun's face was faintly confident, "Yuwenji regards the people like ants, and Hongye is a girl. In Yuwenji's eyes, he must not be a threat. As long as the words are decent, there is a high probability of success. It is really not possible. I will also protect myself."

Seeing that Zhao Shun was so confident, Shen Xian could only nod his head.

"Then you must be careful."

Zhao Shun lightly held Shen Xian's shoulder, feeling her body temperature.

"Miss, such days of fright and fear will definitely end."

"Ah."

Shen Xian snuggled into Zhao Shun's arms, feeling a little relieved from her anxiety.

Every day will come, but how many more tomorrows will come, since the fate is fixed, Shen Xian just wants to live a happier life every day.

He called the maid in front of the door and stuffed the bean paste into the maid's arms.

Shen Xian turned around to cover the door, the red and swollen winter clothes on his body were scattered on the ground one by one, revealing his hidden figure.

Zhao Shun watched obsessively, feeling his blood rushing up
"Sanggong, what are you waiting for?" Shen Xian covered his chest with some embarrassment, and stood there shyly.

The lights are flickering, the figures are up and down, a spring tide with rain comes late, secretly staged in the ice and snow night.
