"He's gone, why don't you come out?"

Inside the empty study room.

Only the figure of the little girl with plum blossom makeup in a pale pink skirt was left.

Li Xian and everyone else have left.

Li Bao'er lowered his head and put away the tea bowl before speaking.

I saw a little girl in red walking out from behind the screen.

Li Guo'er saw that Xie Lingjiang's face was in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Guoer asked calmly:

"You haven't seen him yet? He's leaving."

Xie Lingjiang said: "Just go to Xunyang Grottoes, not far."

Li Guoer pointed out:

"But it's very dangerous. Who knows if there will be a fight between the two sides within ten days, and he will be left alone there."

Li Guo'er caught a glimpse of the Xie family sister's jade hand placed on her abdomen seeming to tremble when she was sitting upright, and a look of worry appeared on her face as she hesitated to speak, mixed with looks of loss and regret...

The expression on his face became more and more complex.

"Go if you want to. If you are hesitant, even if you believe he can come back safely, what if it happens? Can you bet on it?"

"I didn't want to say anything about this nonsense between you two, but I just don't want to see such stubborn people like you. You are so stubborn and hesitant in doing things. How can you be so entangled? Just love when you love and hate when you hate. Isn't it very simple?

?”

Xie Lingjiang pursed his lips:

"I don't want to see him."

Li Guo'er praised: "Okay, then we won't see you again. We won't see you for the rest of our lives. That's good."

"No, I just don't want to see him now because I'm afraid I can't help but beat him."

Li Guo'er still nodded: "Okay, I won't see you now, we'll talk about it later."

Xie Lingjiang suddenly asked with a sense of loss:

"Tell me, should I see him just now?"

Li Guo'er's pretty face couldn't hold back at all:

"Whatever you like."

Xie Lingjiang shook his head: "You don't understand."

"I don't understand? I...that's right. I don't understand men, but I know how to make myself feel at ease."

"What kind of relaxation method?"

Li Guoer waved his sleeves indifferently:

"I'm different from you. I think it doesn't matter if a man has more than one house and concubines. None of the great men in the history books had three wives and four concubines, but it doesn't prevent them from being remembered in history. It can be seen that outstanding men always have more beauties.

, the peach blossoms also prove that they are indeed excellent, otherwise why are so many women competing for it...

"Of course, I said it casually. I don't know if it's right or not. Knowing that I think so, I naturally tolerate it and treat it as normal, but I feel..."

"What do you think?"

"You are a bit petty. Besides, the embroiderer girl was the one who came first. Strictly speaking, you are the one who met Ouyang Lianghan later, so there is nothing to argue with."

Xie Lingjiang immediately said: "I don't blame Sister Xiu Niang."

"Then who do you blame? Ouyang Lianghan."

Xie Lingjiang didn't answer. He was quiet for a while and said softly:

"There is some truth to what you said."

Li Guo'er asked with a smile: "Just a trace?"

Xie Lingjiang pursed her lips and looked at the night in the distance.

At this time, she heard the little girl with plum blossom makeup next to her muttering:

"Actually, every time I hear you talk about this, I feel that you are the one who screwed me up a lot. Ouyang Lianghan didn't do much, but for your thoughtful actions, he seems to be a good man..."

Xie Lingjiang asked: "What did you say?"

"nothing."

Li Bao'er clapped her hands, twisted her waist and left.

In the spare time, Xie Lingjiang sat alone.

…

Before dawn, Ouyang Rong arrived at the quiet courtyard.

At night, he returned to the Huaiye Lane mansion and made arrangements for his aunt and others to pack up and pay tribute in advance, and be ready to leave Xunyang City with the people from the palace and leave by boat at any time.

Ouyang Rong took a deep breath.

Entering the quiet courtyard.

"Ah?"

Zhao Qingxiu was in the room, seeming a little confused about his arrival in the early morning.

Ouyang Rong smiled and ate breakfast porridge with her.

There was no mention of the Xunyang Grottoes during the whole process.

"I may have to go out to do some errands. I will come back in about ten days. The embroiderer will wait for me. Mrs. Pei will come over to accompany you every day."

"Um."

After a pause, Zhao Qingxiu took the initiative to write:

[It’s been a few days. How is Sister Xie doing? Has Tan Lang talked to her, and has he coaxed her well?

Ouyang Rong was silent for a while and said:

"Come on, she's busy lately, and I'm busy too. Wait until I finish the things in front of me, okay."

"Um."

Zhao Qingxiu responded with a curious look on her face.

[Why is it so urgent? I have to leave right away]

Ouyang Rong glanced at Xiu Niang who seemed to be ignorant. After a while, he took a bite of food for her and chuckled:

"Small things will be easy once they are done, and then there will be my aunt's birthday party..."

Zhao Qingxiu didn't ask any more questions and listened carefully.

After a while, after the embroiderer was settled, Ouyang Rong left the yard and strode away.

The courtyard became quiet.

After dawn, the first ray of light fell on the river.

Zhao Qingxiu tidied up the yard, washed her clothes, carried the bucket, and prepared to go to the clothesline to dry them.

At this time, she suddenly heard a rhythmic knock on the door.

Zhao Qingxiu immediately walked over and opened the courtyard door.

There was a familiar feminine scent coming to my face.

Zhao Qingxiu couldn't help but tilt her head.

"Err?"

"Well, it's me." After a pause: "Has sister eaten?"

Xie Lingjiang at the door said the first words.

Zhao Qingxiu nodded immediately: "Yes."

"Then I haven't eaten yet, please make some for me."

Saying that, Xie Lingjiang lowered his head and walked into the courtyard without being polite at all.

But Zhao Qingxiu was a little surprised and hurried to the kitchen.

"Uh-huh."

Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but tell him: "Be gentle and don't fall. Forget it, or I'll do it."

Of course Zhao Qingxiu would not let Xie Lingjiang cook in person, so she gently pushed her out of the kitchen.

The latter didn't force it either.

When Zhao Qingxiu came out with hot porridge, she noticed that Sister Xie seemed to be helping her dry her clothes.
