    Du Yaoyao returned to Wuxing.

    The business of the wine and restaurant shop is getting better and better. As a steward, Dashan often leaves early and comes back late.

    The old servant who drove the carriage was sick and took leave. Du Yaoyao had difficulty traveling and planned to hire another groom.

    This matter was all planned by Shen Jie.

    A villa in Wuxing.

    “Master, my wife’s old horseman has accepted our money and has resigned.” Liu’er reported.

    Shen Jie was sitting in the courtyard, playing chess by himself. He dropped a black stone on the chessboard, “Then put the secret guard I selected before.”

    “Yes.”

    Liu’er looked at his slender master, his profile was stern and his temperament was distant, as if he had gone back to the time when he and his wife had a bad relationship when they first got married.

    On this spring day, he is like the unmelting cold snow on the top of the sacred mountain.

    It’s freezing cold when you get close to it.

    On the day Shen Jie fell down and vomited blood, Liu’er wanted to go next door and ask Du Yaoyao to come and comfort him, but just thinking about it, he didn’t dare to disobey Shen Jie’s order.

    The last one who was disobedient was rigorous, and I don’t know where he was assigned to.

    Thinking about the height and shape of the secret guard, Liu’er was worried, “What if Madam becomes suspicious?”

    Shen Jie said calmly: “It’s my business after you get suspicious, just do what you do.”

    He holds another white piece, approaching step by step, engulfing and occupying the black piece’s position.

    “Got it.”

    Shen Jie waved his hand and Liu’er stepped back, leaving He alone in the courtyard.

    With a sudden anger between his brows and eyes, Shen Jie grabbed the chess piece on the plate, and with a little force, jade powder was scattered in the wind.

    Compared to the chess pieces, he wants to crush Song Xingkai and Dashan more.

    He originally suspected that the child in Du Yaoyao’s belly was Song Xingkai’s, but he followed her to Wuxing and found that there was a man beside her who took care of her family and worked outside.

    Without love between men and women, who would be selfless and honest with another person.

    There is another mountain of suspects in the child’s father.

    It’s not that I haven’t thought about killing Song Xingkai and Dashan, taking Du Yaoyao back by force, and binding and imprisoning him if he doesn’t obey.

    But she has many misunderstandings about him, and is afraid that she will lose her mind for a while and die for another man with her child in her arms.

    In addition, the pregnancy is very early, seven or eight months, and she is facing childbirth. If she gets emotional, premature birth, dystocia, heavy bleeding, etc., he cannot afford the consequences.

    Can’t lose her a second time.

    I can only endure the anger, resentment, regret, shame… waiting for her to give birth to a child.

    Du Yaoyao hired a young and useful groom at a very cheap price. This man also had skills and could be used as a bodyguard.

    Happiness came so suddenly and strangely that she wondered if it was a spy sent by Shen Jie.

    The body shape is also very similar to Shen Jie.

    According to Dashan, he had been asking in the market for a few days and found that there were not many men willing to work as grooms recently. They were either old or weak, or young, and there were even those with missing arms and legs, which were even worse.

    The new groom is called Cui Liu. I heard that he is an orphan. He has tasted the food in Du Yaoyao’s shop and feels that he has a future with this young lady, so he specially reduces his salary to serve her.

    Although it was good to be recognized by others, Du Yaoyao always felt that there was something strange about her.

    It seems that there is an invisible hand behind the scenes, fueling the fire and controlling the overall situation.

    Then I thought about it, who is Shen Jie?

    If he knew she was alive, he would definitely take her back and torture her as soon as possible. How could he let her be free and happy outside?

    What’s more, Dashan and she live under the same roof.

    People like Shen Jie, the women who have slept with him, can die or stay alone, but they are not allowed to touch the men next to them.

    If he knew that she was so “unfaithful”, he would probably have found trouble to be discouraged.

    Du Yaoyao persuaded herself and used Cui Liu with peace of mind.

    There were no problems for several days.

    It was the same day as usual. Du Yaoyao took a carriage to the West Market and ordered Xiaocui to buy her some snacks to satisfy her craving.

    The food in the shop is light in taste. Du Yaoyao’s stomach has been healthy for most of the past six months, but she is also craving for spicy and spicy food.

    There are many stalls in the West Market, selling boiled and grilled skewers, fried and dried fish… Sprinkle with chili powder or cumin powder, not to mention more appetizing.After finishing, add a crystal ice bowl to remove the spiciness and relieve greasiness, which is extremely refreshing.

    Du Yaoyao ate once in a while and didn’t dare to eat too much. Most of the things she bought went into Xiao Cui’s stomach.

    After Xiaocui bought it, she got on the carriage with a skewer in one hand and an ice bowl in the other, but was suddenly stopped by Cui Liu, “You actually bought these for Madam to eat?”

    Xiaocui was stunned, “What’s wrong?” Madam will come to the West Market to change the taste during the break.

    “Cui Liu” glanced at the food in Xiao Cui’s hand with disgust, and said seriously: “Madam is a pregnant woman, and eating spicy food is not good for a woman’s health.”

    A poor groom who doesn’t know anything is just showing off as a noble man.Xiaocui’s round eyes squinted, “Madam likes to eat this, do you care about it?”

    She will not tell outsiders that the lady is pretending to be pregnant.

    “You!”

    “Cui Liu” raised his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly.

    He is tall and envelops Xiao Cui.Xiaocui took the opportunity to see his face clearly.

    He has an ordinary face, a pair of clear and deep eyes, and long black eyelashes, which are like two deep and bottomless pools, attracting people to be intoxicated.

    Xiaocui’s heart skipped a beat.Darling, why does this man have such good eyes? They don’t match his appearance at all.

    She was so amazed that she had goosebumps all over her body. “Cui Liu”‘s eyes were cold and sharp, like a sword drawn from the ice and snow.

    Xiaocui is worried that if she confronts him again, the other party will kill her without mercy.

    This groom, no, warrior is too dangerous.

    A man who knows the current affairs is a hero. She sighed softly and said, “What’s the use of telling me this? If you think it makes sense, just talk to my wife. I’m just a maid.”

    “Cui Liu” turned his head disdainfully, his eyes filled with meaning as he swept the car curtain.

    Xiaocui doesn’t understand.

    Something feels wrong.

    In the evening, Xiaocui waited on Du Yaoyao to wash her feet before she vomited out the doubts in her heart.

    “Madam, our new groom, he, he has some problems…”

    Du Yaoyao closed the travel journal in her hand, “What’s the problem?”

    Xiaocui recalled: “He is very fierce and supervises too much. He said that you are a pregnant woman and I shouldn’t buy you food. Spicy food is not good for a woman’s health…”

    Du Yaoyao was startled.When she saw Cui Liuduo, his eyebrows were lowered and his head was lowered, and he was taciturn.

    She is fierce and in charge. She is not allowed to eat spicy food, only that one person.

    She was unsure and asked, “What kind of cruel method?”

    Xiaocui didn’t study too much and described it bluntly, “The kind of ferocity that wants to kill people…”

    “Want to kill someone?” Du Yaoyao repeated.

    She thought of the way Shen Jie looked at Song Xingkai before, so sinister and fierce that he wanted to stab him to death.

    “He has beautiful eyes…” Xiaocui said in confusion, “But sometimes he looks at you, madam, with a strange look…”

    “Weird?”

    “Like, like…” Xiao Cui hesitated, thinking of a metaphor, “like the big wolf dog my family used to raise, looking at a piece of meat bone that had been bitten by another dog…”

    “It doesn’t eat, and just looks back and forth fiercely…”

    Du Yaoyao’s heart skipped a beat.

    Xiaocui doesn’t understand, she understands.

    When a man looks at a woman like this, it is actually a form of domineering possession of the female by the male.

    Cui Liu and she have never met each other, why do they look at her in such a way?

    Could it be that “Cui Liu” is not Cui Liu… is Shen Jie dressed as a groom?

    he discovered she?
