Chapter 535 A Mouse Wants to Steal Rice
She pursed her lips, then put her hands back into the river and washed them. At the same time, she released the handful of water and the dead fish that she had just put into the ring. The dead fish floated to the surface of the water without a trace.
No one noticed anything unusual about her, but Mo Mo beside her stuck his head out and looked at the headless fish floating on the water.
After washing her hands, Si He sat back down and said to Mo Mo, "Mo Mo, I'm going back to Tianshan. The journey is long, so I won't be taking you back with me yet. You stay here with your husband. I'll be back as soon as possible."
"Hiss~" it called twice.
Si He reached out and touched its head, then said, "Don't do dangerous things in the future, okay? Avoid them if you can."
Although they knew it was very powerful, the people who came before were just testing it out. The people who would be sent later would only be more powerful and have more methods.
By then, the situation Yue Fuli will face will become increasingly severe, so she must make the treasure as soon as possible and make the best use of it.
"Hiss~" It barked again in response.
She spent most of the afternoon with Momo and Wuwu, while Yue Fuli seemed to be very busy and was nowhere to be seen the entire afternoon.
It was not until dinner time that he came over.
The dinner here is relatively simple and not very elaborate, since it is a camp after all, but it tastes okay.
Several oil lamps were lit in the tent. When the night wind blew in, the flames swayed gently, and the warm yellow light shone on his face, as if adding a touch of softness.
There were soldiers guarding the entrance of the tent. When there were outsiders around, he would return to his cold and aloof appearance. He was very quiet and well-behaved when eating, and his movements were elegant. The only difference was that his eyes were no longer cold when he looked at her.
However, when he was alone, he didn't show much emotion, which made Si He always want to break his calm mask, break his coldness, and see a different expression on his face.
But now that she was having her meal, she still ate obediently and occasionally added more dishes for him.
After the meal, Yue Fuli poured her a cup of tea and was about to tell her about his next arrangements and plans. However, before he could open his mouth, she looked at him with her chin supported by one hand and said, "Husband, feed me."
Yue Fuli paused his hand and looked at her with a somewhat obscure gaze, while she had a faint smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and there was some expectation.
He moved the teacup in front of her and said in a low voice, "Don't be naughty."
Si He pursed her lips in pretended disappointment, "Okay."
She just wanted to tease him. When she saw his expression change slightly, she wanted to laugh, but she held it back and tried her best to show a look of loss on her face.
She withdrew her gaze, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
Yue Fuli saw her lost look, and knew that she was pretending, but a complex emotion inexplicably surged in his heart, and his cold heart unconsciously softened.
After Si He took a sip of water, when she looked at him again, he had already withdrawn his gaze, picked up the teacup, lowered his eyes to drink tea, and concealed the expression in his eyes.
"Husband." She reached out and tugged at the corner of his clothes, saying, "I plan to leave tonight, but I'll be back soon."
She said, a smile playing on her lips.
Yue Fuli first glanced at her hand that was pulling at the corner of his clothes, and then turned to her smiling face. She had mentioned this before, but when she said this, his emotions, which had just calmed down, began to waver again. That complicated and somewhat strange feeling was something he often had when he was with her recently.
Si He saw his eyes fall on her face, with a complicated expression that she couldn't understand for a moment, but when she looked at him like this, she suddenly felt as if her heartbeat accelerated a little bit.
"Husband?" She gently tugged at the corner of his clothes again.
Yue Fuli then said: "Well, I will arrange for someone to take you there, be careful on the way."
Hearing him say this, Si He's smile became even brighter. "Okay, then I'll trouble you to take care of Momo. It's very obedient."
"Yes." Yue Fuli responded, then took out a piece of information and handed it to her, saying, "This is the news about the woman surnamed Chen who was being followed. You might be interested."
Si He had told him before that something was wrong with Chen Sangsang, so he arranged for someone to keep an eye on her, and he got the latest news today.
Upon hearing this, Si He took the paper he handed over and opened it to take a look.
Several pages were filled with writing, all about what Chen Sangsang did after returning to Wucheng.
Looking at the words above, Si He's expression became more restrained and serious, especially when she saw Chen Sangsang arranged to go to Zhongzhou to acquire a property of the Guo family, her expression became more solemn.
This property is the villa outside Guang'an City. There is a huge fortune hidden in the mountains behind the villa!
However, Chen Sangsang secretly sent someone to purchase this villa. This was by no means a coincidence. It was not close to Wucheng in Jizhou, and the journey was far away. It was not a prominent industry.
The mountains surrounding the villa are used specifically for raising livestock, and the houses in the villa are usually used to temporarily store some goods.
Recalling all the previous events, Si He suspected that Chen Sangsang was eyeing the money hidden there!
Thinking of this, Si He's face turned a little unhappy. That was hers! Chen Sangsang was quite courageous and had tried to take advantage of her many times!
When I come back from Tianshan, I must give you a feast!
"What's wrong?" Yue Fuli asked when he saw that her face looked strange.
When Si He heard his voice, her expression softened a little, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips again. She said to him, "It's nothing. I just found a mouse trying to steal rice. Maybe it succeeded a few times before and was not caught by the cat, so it is getting bolder and bolder."
After she finished speaking, she glanced at the message written on the paper again, her eyes full of meaning.
Fortunately, it was only in the acquisition stage and the price had not been agreed upon yet. She was planning to take away all the money there when she passed through Zhongzhou on her way to Tianshan, so it was still in time.
Even if Chen Sangsang has taken over the villa, are her things so easy to take?
At this moment, a fierce look flashed in Si He's eyes, but it quickly subsided. When she looked at Yue Fuli, her eyes returned to their previous state, with a faint smile, hiding all the complicated thoughts. Her eyes were pure and beautiful.
"Husband, continue to send people to keep an eye on her. When I come back, I will deal with her."
When she said this, she looked quite playful, with a smile in her eyes, as if it was just a joke.
Yue Fuli looked into her eyes, said nothing more, and just responded with a "hmm".
Soon, he mobilized a group of troops to escort her to Tianshan. As she requested, he did not ask for a carriage.
But before leaving, Si He reluctantly threw herself into Yue Fuli's arms in front of everyone.
