At that time, if he can avoid the calculations of the Miao people in advance, even Xu Banxia can save a lot of effort.

This shows how important this topographic map really is.

Qin Feng's departure is imminent, and the drawing of the topographic map has been completed day by day, and there are not many things left to depict, without Mingshuang's help, Xie Ning can do it himself.

He was going to the academy in three days, and it would be false to say that Xie Ning was not the slightest nervous in his heart. can think of Qin Feng's hard work for her, and she can only gladly respond and not teach him to worry about it.

This is especially true when her state of mind has changed at this time.

She knew Qin Feng's heart for her, and after so long, she finally experienced the feeling of heartbeat today. If in the past, she only felt that Qin Feng had paid too much to her, and she couldn't afford it, but now she suddenly had a trace of joy in her heart, although she had experienced so much these days, even if she forced a smile in front of people, it was just pretending to be nothing.

But today's heartbeat of looking at each other and smiling, the tacit understanding that does not need to be said, seems to come suddenly, but in fact, it is not a matter of course?

She finally understood what it meant to be happy.

Joy for one.

This kind of wonderful feeling that she had never experienced before was like a rain that suddenly fell on a long dry day, a branch that suddenly grew in the bitter cold, and a heart flower that bloomed in an instant.

But it was poured by Qin Feng with countless thoughts.

Finally knew what it was like to like someone, but fortunately she didn't understand it too late.

In all fairness, Qin Feng has done so much for her, it is impossible for her to be grateful and moved in her heart.

But gratitude and emotion are not feelings, Qin Feng knows this, and she also knows it.

In Xie Ning's eyes, Qin Feng has always been regarded as a confidant by her. Treat it as a friend, or even as a teacher. She didn't want to make Qin Feng sad, and she didn't want to hurt Qin Feng.

Although she learned so much about what Qin Feng had done from Mingshuang, she still didn't say anything about it, and although she had dissolved the marriage contract with Wei Qingyang, she still didn't think that she and Qin Feng could be together.

And at this time, she was moved.

Although she is also not sure. How deep her feelings are for Qin Feng. How long can her heart last?

So she retreated, and before she really confirmed her intentions, Shainin would still keep this thought in her heart. If you don't talk about listening to others, you won't let Qin Feng know.

I'm afraid of living up to Qin Feng's affection.

She was also afraid that she didn't love her so deeply, and she couldn't compare to Qin Feng's hard work for her.

There are many things that he doesn't say, but he does many things silently. From Xiao Yan's mouth. From Mingshuang's mouth, Shainin knew many things that she hadn't paid attention to in the past.

And that's why. She also noticed some clues.

Qin Feng made it clear to her that he had a relationship with Pei Shu Pei Xinghai, and even when the other party entered Beijing, he specially greeted him at the post road.

Except for the sake of delivering the message. The relationship between these two must be very close. And they are obviously so close, but in order to avoid being exposed, they have to choose to hide their eyes. Even she had to hide it.

However, Qin Feng will not hide it from her all the time, and has experienced so many turmoil together. Xie Ning felt more and more that many things were not that Qin Feng didn't tell her, but that the time was wrong.

When the time comes, the other party will naturally inform her of the matter.

He never lied to himself, and everything he did secretly was for her sake.

When Xie Ning learned that the confidant of Shu in Qin Feng's mouth was Pei Xinghai, the first thought in her heart was not to sigh how wonderful the world was, nor to try to find out if there were traces of the past relationship between the two in her memory, but to think of another thing, something that she had not paid much attention to.

When the Yanwu Pavilion was first built, she had discussed with Pei Xinghai the issue of resettling wounded soldiers, and had also drafted some plans, but they were still slightly lacking. It wasn't until the other party handed her a meticulous and effective detailed rule that she was able to solve her urgent need.

She still remembered that Uncle Pei told her at the time, saying that he had drawn up the rules with an old friend.

Uncle Pei didn't mention it, and Xie Ning didn't know the specific name of that person, but now that he learned about the relationship between him and Qin Feng, Xie Ning could even be sure without a doubt that Qin Feng was the old friend in Pei Xinghaikou.

She couldn't help but stop talking for a while, but Mingshuang interjected at this time: "It's just to buy some food, and it doesn't hurt for Miss to go." ”

"But—" Gu Sui's eyes widened, not expecting Mingshuang to oppose her point of view, and his face was full of disbelief.

At this moment, there was a regular knock on the door of the courtyard.

Xie Ning made a look, and Mingshuang reacted very quickly to open the door, but when he looked up, he only saw three noodle mothers-in-law carrying food boxes.

"Miss Cousin, two girls, this is the meal that the second lady ordered us to deliver." I saw the mother-in-law who was the leader step forward and said respectfully.

Xie Ning was about to speak, but when he raised his eyes, he saw that Mingshuang had already taken the food box from the three of them, so he only smiled at them.

Mingshuang carried the food box into the house, and Gu Sui followed behind her, happily setting up the dishes and chopsticks.

Xie Ning watched it funny, and forgot the entanglement in his heart for a while.

Seeing this, Gu Sui couldn't help but stop his movements, and said to Xie Ning very happily: "Miss, the second lady is really good, not only is everything thoughtful, but even the servants under her are very respectful. ”

Xie Ning smiled when he heard this, and after nodding slightly in agreement, he couldn't help but think about it: "Actually, it's not just the second aunt, most of the people in the Hou Mansion are still kind. ”

It's like my grandmother, Uncle Hou, Steward Hu, and Aunt Liang......

"Yes," Gu Sui hurriedly agreed, "And the Hou Ye and the old lady are also very good to Miss." Especially the old lady, I always thought that she was strict and rigid, but today I know that she was so kind to you, Miss. was so concerned about Miss's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even took the initiative to keep Miss live. ”

When she said this, there was still some palpitations on her face. Xie Ning guessed that she was intimidated by Liu's majesty, so she couldn't help but hook her lips and smile.

Mingshuang heard this, but suddenly his eyes flashed and he stopped the movements in his hand.

Seeing this, Gu Sui, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but ask curiously, "Sister Mingshuang." What's wrong with you? ”

Xie Ning subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw Mingshuang's eyes flashing slightly, looking at him hesitantly, and he wanted to speak several times before stopping.

Her heart suddenly froze, and Xie Ning suddenly had a bad premonition, but after thinking about it again, she still couldn't help but ask out loud: "What's wrong?" ”

Mingshuang said slowly: "The slave maid has something to ask Miss." But I don't know whether to say it. ”

"Say it." Xie Ning's expression calmed down suddenly.

She'd rather she had learned the bad truth. I don't want to be kept in the dark by the people close to me anymore.

Mingshuang raised her head, and asked in a low voice, "I don't know if Miss thinks that the people in the Hou Mansion have a different attitude towards you?" ”

Xie Ning suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Mingshuang again. I couldn't hide the shocked look on my face.

Gu Sui was confused by her, and immediately said in confusion: "Sister Mingshuang, what do you mean by this?" Miss has been in Beijing for half a year, and she is already very familiar with everyone in the Hou Mansion. Could it be that they will still change their faces? ”

Gu Sui has never had much contact with the master of the Hou Mansion. I was amazed. But Xie Ning is different, so he can naturally immediately understand the meaning of Mingshuang's words.

As Mingshuang said. The people of the Hou Mansion treat her today compared to the past, and there is indeed a huge difference.

The He family was extremely attentive, but the Xiang family was forced to dislike her, and Uncle Hou was still as concerned about her as ever. But her grandmother Liu's attitude is quite interesting.

At the beginning, for the peace of the Hou Mansion and to protect the reputation of the mother of the Xiang Hou Mansion, it was the Liu family who first proposed that Xie Ning leave the mansion and live separately. Now the words are still in my ears, but the other party has changed an attitude.

She didn't doubt that her grandmother was good to her. It's just that the other party suddenly asked her to come back to live, which itself smells of backsliding.

Unless...... Unless the situation has changed!

Xie Ning's eyes flashed, and he didn't care about it for a while, but he only intuitively felt that Mingshuang was so sure that he must know something, so he looked straight at her and asked eagerly, "Do you know the reason?" ”

Mingshuang nodded, looking at Xie Ning with a pair of bright eyes, as if she didn't want to miss any change in expression on her face, and said directly: "The prince once sent someone to verify the matter of Fuwei Temple, and afterwards sent the evidence of Mrs. Jingyang's murder of Miss Jingyang to Gao Hou. The slave maid guessed that the change in the attitude of the people in the Hou Mansion may be due to this reason. ”

I see.

No wonder the Xiang family looks so listless, the Jade Courtyard is full of subordinates sent by Uncle Hou, and the grandmother no longer shy away from staying in the Hou Mansion.

Xie Ning suddenly remembered what Qin Feng had said to her before, thinking that the other party had promised her to investigate the matter carefully, and she was also hopeful at that time, but later Qin Feng didn't mention it, so she just thought that the matter was gone, and she didn't ask rashly.

But how could she have thought that Qin Feng would silently do so much for her.

Now Xie Ning finally understood the reason, and after taking a deep look at Mingshuang, he could only leave a sigh in his heart.

She knew Mingshuang's intention in mentioning this matter to her, but the problem between her and Qin Feng was never about how much the other party had paid for her.

No matter how deep Qin Feng's love is, she will not be able to repay her after all.

Since such an ending is already doomed, what is the use of deep love?

Xie Ning shook his head helplessly, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a bitter smile.

Although Gu Sui had heard it in the clouds, she could still detect Xie Ning's feelings.

Seeing that her young lady's love was low, she knew that she was stupid, and she didn't dare to comfort her indiscriminately, so she secretly couldn't help but pull Mingshuang's sleeve and gestured to the other party with her eyes.

Mingshuang raised her head, but she had a calm expression, and she didn't pay attention to Gu Sui's request for help, and said directly: "Maybe Miss thinks that the slave maid mentioned these things to Miss just to say some good things for the prince." That's right, Mingshuang is indeed a little selfish, but in the final analysis, the slave maid is also thinking about the young lady. ”

"So what," Xie Ning was in a complicated mood for a while, casually fiddled with the purse on his waist, and lowered his eyes: "People live in this world, don't they have to do things according to their own hearts?" I just want to marry Wei Qingyang, how about His Royal Highness King An, what does it have to do with me? No matter how much he does, it's not like the bamboo basket is empty. If you are really good for him, you should persuade him to let go sooner. ”

Qin Feng is a very good person, he shouldn't spend all his thoughts on her, and he shouldn't delay because of her.

Xie Ning thought clearly, no matter whether the two could be friends in the future or not, the marriage contract she made with Wei Qingyang was already a fact. And it is also a fact that she and Qin Feng can't be together.

After all, she couldn't ruin this marriage contract because of Qin Feng.

This is also unfair to Wei Qingyang.

Her meaning was clearly expressed, Mingshuang listened to it, but she couldn't help but be stunned, and after her eyes flashed, she put away the bitter smile on her face, and said to Xie Ning with a serious expression: "The prince has done a lot for you, Miss, but moving is moving, heartbeat is heartbeat, and it can't be mixed up." Mingshuang just wants Miss to recognize her mind, and she just wants Miss to see if the things that the prince has secretly done for you can pull your heartstrings. ”

Her words were obviously from the bottom of her heart, but Xie Ning had heard them but was only silent—she didn't know what her heart was at all, and how she could understand her own heart.

Whether it is Qin Feng or Wei Qingyang, they are not Xie Ning's favorite people. At first, she regarded Qin Feng as a close friend, and she only regarded Wei Qingyang as a brother with a different surname.

It wasn't until Wei Qingyang talked to her about the marriage between the two that Xie Ning had a vague understanding of this.

The two are married, and the other party will be her future husband.

She doesn't understand **** at all, or it can be said that she doesn't realize what **** is.

She didn't understand why a single love word could have such a big meaning. can make Gu Qingyun unscrupulous, can make Xiao Yan look sad, and can also make Qin Feng silently pay so much for her.

The other party's heart is too heavy, she can't repay it, and she doesn't know how to respond.

But she didn't know how to talk to Mingshuang.

Xie Ning raised his head suddenly, his eyes were slightly red, but he still didn't know it, he just endured the sourness in his heart, and refused casually: "I understand what you mean, it's just-"

Before he finished speaking, he was deliberately interrupted by Mingshuang with words - "Didn't Miss go to the market outside to buy steamed buns before, why don't you go and take a good look." ”

Hearing the deep meaning of her words, Xie Ning couldn't help but feel a pang in her heart, although she knew that what the other party said must be related to Qin Feng, but she was never a person who was used to escaping, and she really wanted to know what Qin Feng had done for her, and what kind of heart Qin Feng had for her.

She was not moved by Qin Feng's actions, but at that time, she only thought that the other party regarded her as a friend worthy of friendship, but she didn't expect that as early as the beginning of their acquaintance, Qin Feng had a deep affection for her.

Xie Ning made up his mind and walked out of the room without saying a word.

In the blink of an eye, Xie Ning jumped out of the wall. (To be continued.) )
