The big kitchen of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was next to the podium where the subordinates lived, and in the outermost night house, the two mothers-in-law were secretly drinking from people, and they didn't notice Shao Ding and Songyan at all. The two of them sneaked in, the kitchen was full of pots and pans, but there was no ready-made cooked food, some lost pine smoke saw a casserole stewed on the small stove next to it, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a small pot of thick chicken soup, still bubbling.

Shao Ding said, "Only this pot of chicken soup, Madame drink it." ”

Songyan opened the closet on the side, rummaged through it, and whispered in a suppressed voice, "That's not good, this chicken soup must have an owner, if it is stolen and eaten for no reason, someone will definitely be scolded tomorrow." ”

Shao Ding didn't know as much about the inner courtyard as she did, and when she said this, he said, "Then let's call someone up and make some food for the two of us." ”

Song Yan found a handful of mustaches from the lower level of the closet, then stood up with a satisfied smile and said to Shao Ding, "I don't need to bother with it, I just want to wronged you to eat some coarse food." ”

Shao Ding saw her holding the beard noodles, so he said, "I also ate this kind of noodles when I was marching, but I don't feel aggrieved." ”

Songyan set up another stove, burned a hot fire, heated the pot with cold oil, fried some cabbage leaves, then added two bowls of water, divided half a bowl from the chicken soup on the side, added it to the pot, and waited for the soup in the pot to open slightly, and put the noodles into it. When the soup was opened, she ordered some cold water, kept it slightly open, and boiled for a while, and then she extinguished the fire on the stove.

Shao Ding watched her movements skillfully and neatly, not like a young lady, he was slightly puzzled, but he didn't say anything, just silently watched her movements, and handed over some things needed for pine smoke from time to time. Because he was too focused, Shao Ding was quietly very considerate, and Songyan unconsciously let Hou Ye beat him. When the chicken noodle soup was ready, she stood in front of the stove and naturally stretched out her hand backwards and said, "Wanxiang, give me the bowl." ”

A blue and white porcelain bowl was handed to her, Song Yan took it and filled it, and after handing it out, he took another bowl and filled it, then turned around and sat on the small table in the kitchen with Shao Ding hunched over.

The steaming mist of the noodle soup smoked on the faces of the two people whose knees were squeezed together because the place was too narrow, so that Songyan's shoulders, who had been nervous for a day, slowly relaxed, and couldn't help but show a smile, and said to Shao Ding, "I forgot about it for a while, and I actually made you tired." ”

Shao Ding took out two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick cage on the side and handed them to Songyan, who took them and picked up the noodles and ate them. Shao Ding shook his head and said, "It's okay. ”

He picked up a chopstick noodle and ate it, the noodles were cooked well, not soft or hard, the soup had the umami of chicken soup, and because of the fried cabbage, it was particularly delicious. While thinking like this, he unconsciously ate the whole bowl of chicken noodle soup.

After eating and putting down the chopsticks, Songyan on the side smiled with crooked eyes, stretched out his hand to clean up the dishes, chopsticks and boilers, Shao Ding restored the table and chairs on the side, and the two of them went out quietly, and the two mothers-in-law in the night room had been drunk for a long time, and fell asleep on the table. Songyan followed Shao Ding through the garden of the Hou Mansion to Zhengqiu Hall, the garden was very dark, the beautiful and unique lake flowers and plants during the day, the rockery pavilions, in the dark night shrouded in heavy shadows, it seemed deep and mysterious. Songyan didn't feel afraid, Shao Ding was walking half a step away from her, and he could see him at any time without Songyan looking up.

When he walked to the edge of the lake, Shao Ding suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the sleeve of Songyan's elbow, Songyan looked at it puzzled, Shao Ding said expressionlessly, "If Mrs. is going to fall, then I can hold it immediately." ”

Songyan's cheeks were hot, so he went with him.

The two of them walked to the front of Zhengqiu Hall in an awkward posture, and they didn't know why, so they stopped in unison. Song Yan lowered his head, saw the big hand at his elbow slowly retracted, and heard Shao Ding say, "Madam, this is really good." ”

Hearing him say this, Songyan suddenly raised his head, under the moonlight, Shao Ding's expression was really as comfortable as she imagined, and he spoke again, "In the past few years, I never thought that one day I would be able to stay with my wife so quietly. ”

Songyan felt uneasy in his heart, and said nechly, "I'm sorry ......"

Shao Ding raised his hand to interrupt Song Yan's words, and said, "Madame, don't say it anymore, it doesn't seem to make sense for the two of us to argue about right or wrong, I won't mention these things in the future, if Madam wants to put it down, don't mention it again in the future." ”

Seeing that Songyan didn't refute, he stretched his brows and continued, "Madame was angry in the palace today, isn't it?" ”

Songyan hurriedly shook his head and explained, "No one embarrassed me, it was me, and I didn't do my part. ”

Shao Ding didn't immediately say anything to comfort her, but said, "Madam didn't do something well, so what should I do?" ”

Songyan said confusedly, "And then? ”

She thought of contacting Yan Furong and changing her body back, feeling relieved and a little reluctant at the same time, so she said, "I won't do anything wrong in the future." ”

Shao Ding said bluntly, "Madame, will you hide in the Zhengqiu Hall in the future?" ”

Songyan reflexively said, "No! ”

After finishing speaking, she was stunned, and avoided Shao Ding's eyes weakly. Seeing this, Shao Ding said in a gentle tone, "Madame, do you remember what she said to me here a few days ago?" ”

Song Yan couldn't think of anything shy at this time, nodded carelessly, and Shao Ding said, "I've always been a dull person, if it weren't for Madame's straightforward telling me what I thought, I'm afraid I would have been blinded by the guilt in my heart." ”

He said, "Madame has come out of the shadow of the past hurt by me, and is ready for a new beginning, and I can no longer refuse Madame a thousand miles away with only apologies all the time." ”

Hearing this, Song Yan slowly raised his head and looked at Shao Ding, "You untied the knot in your heart because of my words?" ”

Shao Ding's eyes were full of smiles, he nodded, and asked again, "Knowing that Madame let go of the past, I thought, it's okay, it's okay that I didn't give up." The moment this thought appeared, I realized that I was already a little tired, and the idea of giving up had long been entangled in my heart, but I never found it. ”

Song Yan couldn't speak, and listened to Shao Ding continue, "No one is perfect, they will all do wrong things, and they will all have the idea that they can't bear more. It's just that we have to keep moving forward in the darkness, and sooner or later there will be light. ”

Songyan's eyes were red, and he sobbed and said, "You don't know anything, even if I say those words, what do you get in return?" I put a qiē ......"

Shao Ding took out his handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears rolling down her cheeks, while saying, "I'll wait for you." ”

Song Yan was stunned, and when this sentence really entered her heart, it was understood by her now somewhat dull brain, her cheeks instantly turned red, Shao Ding bent down slightly and leaned over to look directly into her eyes and said, "So promise me, don't retreat, no matter what happens, I will always be by Madame's side." ”
