Si Xingpei is back.

He came back often, but not in time this time.

It's too timely this time.

Gu Qingzhou felt chills all over her body. She took a shower first, and then sat on the sofa in the living room to make a fire.

The warmth of the fireplace wafted around her.

Si Xingpei held her in his arms.

"...Don't hurt him." Gu Qingzhou said to Si Xingpei, "Once he is injured, the Overseer will think a lot. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, we still have to..."

Si Xingpei kissed her hair, and the slightly wet hair fell between his lips. He whispered to Gu Qingzhou: "Do you know that you are stealing the bell?"

Once they make it public, it will inevitably be a huge scandal, and the next year or even a few years, a dozen years, will be the talk of others after dinner.

Gu Qingzhou's scruples like this and that are all a drop in the bucket, and it's useless at all.

They can't have a good reputation.

Public anger is inevitable.

Si Xingpei was not afraid. He was originally a soldier and was under a lot of pressure. And Gu Qingzhou, who has no military power, needs prestige.

"I know." Gu Qingzhou's voice was soft and his body was soft, and he hugged Si Xingpei in turn, "It's covered so much, so I still have to cover it up."

Si Xingpei kissed her cheek: "Children's words!"

Gu Qingzhou has been preventing Si Xingpei from hurting Si Mu.

She still remembered that Mr. Guo, the fortune-teller, said that Simu might die soon. Although he promised to help change his life and survive the calamity, it may not be successful.

The fortune teller would rather believe what he has. If Si Mu is destined to die, Gu Qingzhou doesn't want him to die under Si Xingpei's gun.

"The governor is in the city, don't act rashly." Gu Qingzhou said to Si Xingpei.

Si Xingpei has long passed the age of childishness - when he was childish, he insisted on being arrogant to the governor to show his prestige, and now he will never again.

He nodded: "Don't worry, little thing, you worry about this and that, everyone is tired and thin."

Gu Qingzhou smiled and said, "I'm not thin at all."

Ripples flashed in Si Xingpei's eyes, and his voice was ambiguous: "I'll touch it to see if I've lost weight."

After saying that, his hand got into her dress.

Gu Qingzhou wanted to hide coyly, but Si Xingpei had already pressed him on the sofa.

Cold wind and drizzle outside, warm as spring inside.

A narcissus in the corner blooms proudly.

Gu Qingzhou has been holding his arms around Si Xingpei's neck and refuses to let go.

Later, Si Xingpei carried her upstairs, and she fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Gu Qingzhou returned to the new house.

Simu is not here.

Gu Qingzhou thought that Si Xingpei would put Si Mu back, but when she went to the Governor's Mansion at noon, she still did not see Si Mu.

Si Xingpei came.

His iron-grey military uniform is crisp and the outer cover is the same color wind cloak.

In Si Fangfei's eyes, there was an inexplicable pain.

As soon as he came, he went to the study with the commander-in-chief. What the father and son talked about was all military affairs, and it was not advisable for outsiders to inquire.

Mrs. Si asked Gu Qingzhou, "Where's Amu?"

Gu Qingzhou said: "He went out early in the morning, I thought he was here."

Mrs. Si sent someone to look for it.

During the meal, the table was full of people, and Simu was not seen alone.

Si Fangfei sat beside Si Xingpei with a gentle attitude and a calm demeanor, and said something to Si Xingpei from time to time.

She was quiet and not aggressive, and Si Xingpei still regarded her as his own sister.

Although he was very defensive about her.

Gu Qingzhou's mentality has changed. Seeing such a scene again, she felt extra calm in her heart. Because Si Xingpei had promised her that Fangfei would never get past Gu Qingzhou.

Fang Fei is just affectionate.

Gu Qingzhou believed every word of Si Xingpei's words.

At this moment, Mrs. Si asked again, "Where's Mu'er? Adjutant, come here, where is the second young marshal?"

The adjutant came in and said, "Madam, I haven't found the second young marshal yet."

Mrs. Si's eyes were like arrows, and she shot at Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou's expression remained unchanged.

"How old is he, what are you doing with him like this?" The commander-in-chief was displeased.

Madam Si's eyes were full of worry, and she said, "He wouldn't be so rude, it would be better if nothing happened."

It is impossible for Simu not to be there for the family reunion.

Mrs. Si still knows her son. Si Mu is a gentleman, and he has his own bearing and capacity.

The commander-in-chief said, "It's not New Year's Eve, so just eat a light meal and restrain them from doing anything!"

Gu Qingzhou held the chopsticks and lowered his head, a bit of wetness flashed in his eyes inexplicably.

Si Xingpei saw it, and Si Fangfei saw it too.

Later, Si Xingpei asked Gu Qingzhou, "Are you very moved?"

The commander-in-chief treats Gu Qingzhou without words. He is extremely caring. He is a very standard loving father, better than Si Fangfei.

Fathers often dote on their daughters the most, and Gu Qingzhou's status is far above the little daughter who is the most doted on by the commander-in-chief, so it can be seen how much he favors her!

Gu Qingzhou, who lacked fatherly love since childhood, was moved by this, and Si Xingpei could understand it.

"Father treats me very well." Gu Qingzhou said, "You can't be too unconscionable."

Si Xingpei kissed her cheek: "I know, he is really kind to you."

"I'm afraid of losing. When I think about smearing him, thinking about his anger, I can't sit still." Gu Qingzhou said, sighing deeply.

Si Xingpei smiled, took her hand, put it on his lips and kissed it, and asked Gu Qingzhou, "I'm not important anymore?"

"Of course it's also very important." Gu Qingzhou said.

Si Xingpei hugged her tightly.

He secretly told Gu Qingzhou that the reason why he came back to accompany her this time was because he was going back to Pingcheng on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

This year's New Year's Eve, he wants to spend with his soldiers, so as to win the hearts of the army, he can't accompany Gu Qingzhou.

"Military affairs are important." Gu Qingzhou was very considerate.

Si Xingpei said, "Don't worry, I will take care of Simu's affairs."

Gu Qingzhou's face was tense.

Si Xingpei kissed her hard, as punishment for worrying about other men, and then said, "I won't kill him, are you satisfied?"

Gu Qingzhou rolled his eyes at him, this is really not a nice word.

"What are you going to do?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Si Xingpei smiled: "You can rest assured, the mountain man has his own plan."

Gu Qingzhou smiled helplessly.

At noon on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Gu Qingzhou went to the Governor's Mansion for lunch again, and met Simu.

Simu didn't look at her, just talked to Mrs. Si.

After the commander-in-chief came, Si Mu said to the commander-in-chief, "Abba, I want to go to Pingcheng for the New Year this year."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, including Gu Qingzhou.

She never thought that Si Xingpei would come to this trick to draw money from the bottom of the pot.

However, this is Si Xingpei's way of doing things.

"...This... Okay, why are you going to Pingcheng?" Mrs. Si was unhappy at first.

The commander-in-chief said, "It's a good thing that Ah Pei will be in the army this year for the Chinese New Year! This is a rare opportunity, and Amu will follow him to learn, and it's very good to have brotherly love."

He agreed.

As soon as the commander-in-chief agreed, he was also involved in military affairs, and Mrs. Si's methods were useless.

So, on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, he had dinner, and he followed Si Xingpei away.

Gu Qingzhou stood on the threshold of the governor's mansion, and his eyes were full of parting sadness.

Everyone thought she was reluctant to leave Si Mu, only Si Fangfei glanced at her.

Gu Qingzhou acted as if nothing had happened.

Si Fangfei was more and more afraid of her, feeling that she was insidious, cunning and unfathomable.

Gu Qingzhou had just returned to the new house, and the adjutant Tang Ping was anxiously waiting at the door.

"Young madam, you are back!" Tang Ping said eagerly.

Gu Qingzhou hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"
