How could he treat her like that...... The person he once loved deeply, the person who used to accompany him with the best years...... Even if she did something wrong, how could he be so ruthless...... So cool and thin?

She subconsciously glanced at Li Xuan beside her. His gaze seemed to fall on the verdant greenery of the mountains in the distance, and his expression was indistinguishable.

Incense candles, offerings.

There was invariably silence.

He didn't want to say anything more to the name on the tombstone, the man with his last name, she didn't know what to say.

Do you hate her?

Naturally, she hated - almost all the humiliation and hurt she had suffered were due to her.

But at this moment, facing the cold tombstone, no matter how much love and hatred there is, it seems so pale and powerless.

At least, she's alive.

At least, she still has Jing Yi.

At least, she's still guarding ...... Unknown future.

"Let's go." After a long, long time, a deep voice finally pierced the tranquility of the mountaintop.

She nodded obediently, slowly rising in the afterglow of the setting sun.

What you love, what you hate, maybe it's really time to pass......

………………

On the way down the mountain, he insisted on holding her hand, but she couldn't pull it back, so she had to let him pull it.

Under the sunset, his side face with thin lips pursed was handsome and lonely.

She looked at it in a daze, and couldn't help but think in her heart, how long can this man's deep love for her last at this time?

A year? Two years? Or treat her well for the rest of your life with a sense of guilt?

She couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Over the years, things have long been different.

Whether she wanted to admit it or not—after all, she didn't dare, and she wouldn't believe him anymore.

………………

The weather in early summer is the most changeable, and on the way back to the city, it suddenly rains without warning.

Outside, lightning and thunder roared, heavy rain poured in, and Xiyan in the carriage sat alone in a corner, frowning. Due to the loss of conditioning after childbirth, she always has a sore body every time she has such a rainy weather, as if she is about to fall apart. At this time, she was cold and painful, and she just wished that she would pass out immediately.

Unaware, the person on the other side had moved to his side quietly, and the next moment ...... The whole person was bound in his arms.

"Is it uncomfortable?" The big palm around his waist was gentle but domineering, and he whispered in his ear.

“…… It's okay......" She lowered her head, and could only see her long eyelashes trembling. Because of the chatter of his teeth, even his tone changed a little.

"What the hell is the weather." He cursed under his breath and moved to take off his robe.

"You...... Other...... Don't ......" where he was willing to let her refuse, he held her in his lap, and wrapped his petite body directly into his clothes. Such a combination of the two into one...... Naturally, it is closer.

Xiyan was so ashamed that his face was flushed, but his head was pressed against his chest and he couldn't move.

In her ears was the sound of his steady and powerful heartbeat, mixed with the sound of wind and rain outside, her mind was in chaos, she only felt physically and mentally tired, and she didn't want to think about anything anymore...... After a while, he finally fell asleep.

Xiao Enzi's hesitant voice came from outside the car, "Master...... The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and I am afraid that it will not stop for a while, you see...... Do you want to ......?"

His expression darkened, and he looked down at Xiyan who was sleeping in his arms, she was still frowning, and her face was not good.

After a moment of silence, "Let's go to Qiantouzhuang for one night first, and then leave tomorrow morning." ”

“…… Be. ”

Zhuangzi in front of him...... Xiao Enzi's heart is the place where Xianfujin died......

………………

The morning after a rainstorm is the most refreshing, and even the air has a unique fragrance of earth and herbs.

During breakfast, Xiyan and Li Xuan discussed-

"I would like to stay here for a few days...... Do you think it's okay? The two of them are always so consumed, she feels hard and depressed. It's better to be apart for a few days, and she can think about it too...... What is the way forward?

He was silent for a while, then put a piece of red date cake in her bowl, nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

Originally, I was afraid that he would not allow it, and I was still a little apprehensive in my heart, not wanting him to agree so easily, Xiyan suddenly raised her eyebrows, thanked her gently, and lifted her chopsticks to bite it.

Very sweet taste.

"How long do you want to stay?" He asked.

Before Xi Yan could answer, he had already added: "If you don't go back for a long time, Jing Yi ...... I'm going to miss you very much. ”

Thinking of the meaty, pink and tender, coquettish and mischievous little guy, her heart softened, and she swallowed the "month" that had reached her mouth. "Ten days ......?"

"Five days, okay?" It's obviously a question, but it's impossible to refuse.

“……”

Seeing her embarrassed face, he smiled helplessly, "That's it...... I don't force you. You can stay as long as you want...... Just don't forget - Jing Yi and I are still waiting for you at home. ”

She was slightly stunned, and silently lowered her head under his serious gaze.

"I know ......"

………………

Xu is because the hostess died of illness here, and the atmosphere in the courtyard seems to be particularly solemn and quiet. There was no giggling laughter in her ears, and there were no girls chattering to make her happy, which made Xiyan a little unaccustomed.

She wandered around the village with nothing to do. The little girl who served her next to her was not very old, only twelve or thirteen, innocent and simple, very restrained to her, and would show a shy smile every time she said a word.

"This is the courtyard where Xianfujin used to live...... she explained, pointing to a courtyard with a closed gate, "and then Xianfujin died, and the housekeeper locked it up. ”

Xiyan nodded.

Bright red roses spread out along the walls of the courtyard, and they were enchanted and delicately paved, and the air was filled with a touching sweet fragrance.

She was stunned.

In the past, Ning Ruo was not as beautiful and intense as this rose......

"Master...... Will the slave take you around somewhere else? ”

She came back to her senses.

"Okay." She smiled softly, "I was also trying to go to the study to find a few books to read." ”

………………

It hasn't been opened for a long time, and there is a musty smell in the study.

The little girl hurriedly ran to the window and opened the window to breathe.

The breeze outside the house blew away the coldness of the room.

Sent the girl down, and Xiyan carefully picked up the book.

She has always liked to read some miscellaneous wild history, which is completely different from Ning Ruolixuan's interests. Because of this "vulgar" hobby, he was not less despised by Li Xuan in the past.

My eyes swept over the bookshelf, and I couldn't help but be attracted by this "Pingshan Cold Swallow". It's not that she wants to read this book much, it's just that ...... This is clearly not like Ning Ruo's style.

I couldn't help but pick it up and look at it.

There was not a word in it......

Xiyan was stunned, and suddenly her heart moved.

That was more than a decade ago...... At that time, she was only eight or nine years old, which was the most playful age, and she read from an ancient book that her predecessors used alum books to transmit secret letters, and found it interesting, so she concocted a letter and sent it to Ning Ruo, Ning Ruo did not understand what she meant, and asked her, she only proudly threw the letter into the water...... The handwriting is instantaneous.

In this book, is it possible that there is another mystery? (To be continued.) )
