Li Chengze understood Huilan's intentions. He didn't want to fight but just wanted to live a peaceful and comfortable life in a corner. He didn't expose her dream because it was too unrealistic.

After all, she is her own woman. No matter whether she has the ability to refine medicine or not, she must protect her unless she makes a big mistake.

But there are times when you can't escape without fighting. The world of men is about fighting for power and profit. They take advantage of all available people and things, and the daughter of the family also has to pay the price.

Returning to the East Palace, he went to Qinghui Garden. At present, this was the only place where he could feel at ease, so he naturally came here.

"Master, you are back and have been drinking. Ding Xiang is going to get the hangover soup."

Huilan smiled and asked people to be let into the house, and asked Qiuyun to bring him some water to wash his face.

"I went to my eldest brother's house and had a few drinks. The brothers chatted and didn't get drunk."

Li Chengze washed his hands and face before sitting down.

Ding Xiang served the hangover soup and silently withdrew.

Li Chengze took a sip, paused, and then finished the soup in one go.

"It tastes good, is there anything else? Is this pear juice?"

He was a little curious, and it was the first time he drank a delicious hangover soup. Generally, hangover soups are very unpleasant to drink, but he didn't have a headache the next day after drinking it.

"It's pears soaked in licorice. The soup can be boiled in water to relieve hangover and moisturize the lungs."

Huilan smiled.

"Did you meet your brother on the way back today?"

Huilan put down what she was holding, turned around and looked at him with some doubts in her eyes.

"Your brother brought you a letter and a banknote, mainly to surrender."

Li Chengze stated with a smile.

Huilan was silent for a while before speaking, "Brother always loves me the most. I'm afraid that any delay will make you feel uncomfortable."

It had only been two days since the letter was sent out. This cheap brother acted very quickly. Such an important decision came hurriedly, which shows that he really loves his sister.

"He loves you very much."

"Well, when I was a child, my parents went away, and we were the only two left in my grandfather's house. My brother always loved me and took good care of me. He was the most fiercely opposed to me entering the palace, and even got beaten and knelt down in the ancestral hall."

For this sister, Ding Simiao did not hesitate to break up with Ding Manxuan and break up with his own mother. Now he can't wait to surrender, just to protect her.

Huilan was very pleased. The reason why the original owner had no will to live was because the daughter of the Li family threatened her with the lives of the Ding family and said many vicious and unpleasant words.

Such a young child is innocent and helpless. His illness is so serious that he has no will to live. He thinks that if he dies, he will not be a trouble for the family.

"He also brought you a banknote."

Li Chengze gave her the letter, which also contained some silver notes that could be converted into small denominations for rewards.

Huilan looked at it and saw that it was a total of ten thousand taels. This must have been given by the cheap father. Ding Simiao didn't have that much money before he got married.

"It seems that my father has also made a decision. He is waiting for a suitable opportunity to make you value his opportunity to reuse the Ding family. It is most appropriate to surrender with a gift. This letter is just a signal. He knows that my brother is waiting for you.

Not as good as."

Mr. Ding is wily and savvy, otherwise how could he be a fourth-grade official? The Ding family's backstage is not deep.

Li Chengze waved to her and held her in his arms. He didn't know when he started to like holding her like this, as if he had a daughter.

"Lan'er is so smart, she can figure it out right away. Why did you think of asking the Ding family to help me?"

Li Chengze wanted to know why she made the decision so quickly.

"Because I'm very kind to me. He takes pity on me, takes care of me, tolerates me, and even goes out of his way to ask for my place back. Lan'er is very grateful, but I'm just a girl, so I can't really do anything.

But the Ding family can. They let me enter the palace to gain a future. In that case, why not make a decision early. After I enter the East Palace, they are not qualified to look around in other houses.

I don’t say that dad will take action later, it’s just a matter of time, I’m just urging him.”

She shrugged and smiled nonchalantly.

"Silly girl, you are Gu's woman, not goods. I do need connections and support, but I won't trade my woman for benefits, let alone sacrifice you to protect myself. Gu is not that unbearable."

Li Chengze didn't like her indifferent look, her strong and nonchalant eyes, he gave up all expectations, everything didn't matter anymore.

Hold her tightly, kiss her forehead, eyebrows, red lips, and warm her cold heart with a warm touch.

"Master, will you always believe me?"

Huilan looked at his clear and handsome face, her fingers gently crossed the bridge of his nose and beautiful red lips, and there was a slight fluctuation of emotions in her eyes.

"Yes, I will always trust you. I know you will not betray me, let alone deceive me."

He just had a feeling that Huilan was worthy of his trust. She would not do such a thing. She was an extremely proud and aloof person and could not do such a thing.

"Okay, I'm embarrassed to let you down even if you say that."

Huilan couldn't help but laugh, her smile was as cute as a child's, and a little willful and naive.

"You, you have such an unforgiving mouth, and you won't be able to get away with it."

Li Chengze knew that she was also an awkward naughty child.

"I know, so I can't please my mother, and I can't unite my sisters. You see, I'm a sociable person, and I don't even want to take care of my sister."

Huilan spread her hands, I am such a person, full of shortcomings, stingy will be punished, and very willful and selfish.

"Don't say that about yourself. Some people are destined to have a shallow relationship even if they are together every day. They cannot get close to each other and are just like being alone. However, some people feel like old friends after meeting each other for the first time. This is probably fate."

Li Chengze was deeply aware of this point. For example, he and the queen obviously had a nurturing relationship, but deep down he hated his adoptive mother. He himself was sometimes helpless.

Huilan leaned in his arms to seek warmth like a child, her voice was delicate and soft, like a kitten that was used to acting like a spoiled child.

"I know that I love me and understand me. As long as I always believe in me, I will not let you down. If you don't trust me, I will ignore you, huh!"

Angry and willful.

Li Chengze kissed her lovingly, "I will always love you. The daughter of the Ma family will enter the palace next year. Although she is Liang Yuan, you should avoid her. After all, she is the daughter of the Ma family and has the queen's protection. If something happens to her, she will be alone."

We may not be able to protect you."

Let me warn you in advance, this girl actually has a very strong character. Once she becomes stubborn, she is willing to give in to others. She will be fine with her, but she is reluctant to be harmed.
