The earth sank, the lights were brilliant one after another, the noise faded, and the sound of insects became bold.

The pale dress fits the hair, swaying slowly in the wind, and the simple and transparent step swaying also makes a subtle sound. Ning Zhao sat at the stone table, his hands on his cheeks, and his eyes unconsciously looked towards the outer wall.

Seeing that Ning Zhao was silent for a long time, Qing Cicada looked at Ning Zhao's line of sight, and then laughed meaningfully, "If Miss really wants Lord Jin, why don't you take the initiative to contact him?" ”

Hearing this, Ning Zhao snorted lightly, pinched his head, still listless, and said in a light tone: "Who misses him, I'm just busy all day and a little tired." ”

"Then I'll wait for Miss to freshen up immediately, and you can rest early." With that, the cicada hurriedly went to prepare hot water.

Ning Zhao stared at the disappearing back of the cicada, and after a while, he pouted and muttered, "Love doesn't come, sleep!" ”

The contract was successfully redeemed, and the Taifu Mansion returned to its former peace, Chen was frightened and weak because of this incident, and rested for several days before recovering, Ning Hong went to see her every day, but rarely stayed at Chen's place.

Therefore, Chen held his stomach, and he didn't dare to have a seizure, and his temper was also very short-tempered, and the people in the courtyard were cautious every day, and even Ning Jian didn't dare to talk nonsense in front of her.

Ning Zhao was the same as in the past, busy in the hospital during the day, and went home in the evening to accompany Aunt Dou and Mrs. Ning, just like that, a few days passed quickly.

"Miss, why is that person here again?"

At the door of the Taifu Mansion, Qing Cicada approached Ning Zhao's ear, stared at the timid middle-aged man not far away, and asked in a low voice.

Ning Zhao also had this person in mind.

It's been about ten years since then, and this person appears here every once in a while, Ning Zhao didn't care about it at first, but then he also paid attention.

The more she looked at this person, the more familiar she became, but Ning Zhao couldn't remember who this person was, curiosity, she wanted to ask, but she didn't know who to ask, so she had to give up.

Ning Zhao retracted his gaze and said impatiently: "Whatever, it has nothing to do with us, let's go, go back, my mother is still waiting for us." With that, he lifted his feet and left.

Qing Chan looked at her face, nodded, and followed Ning Zhao back to the Taifu Mansion together.

Ning Zhao didn't speak all the way, and he couldn't see anything on his face, but he was not very happy in his heart.

Seeing it in her eyes, Qing Cicada sighed helplessly, and asked softly, "Miss is not happy?" ”

"Nope." Ning Zhao's answer was very stiff, not to mention the cicada who grew up with her, if she was anyone, she could see that she was in a bad mood.

Qing Cicada flattened his mouth, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: You just pretend.

Spit and complain, Qing Chan still cares about Ning Zhao very much, and then asks: "If Miss is unhappy because of Lord Jin, I will go to his house tomorrow......"

"What are you going to do?" Ning Zhao stopped, turned his head to stare at Qing Cicada, and said unhappily: "I said that I'm fine, don't always think about it." ”

"Hey......" Qing Chan was helpless, looked at Ning Zhao and said, "Why is Miss like this? Lord Jin hasn't come for a few days, he must have been stumped by other things, and he will definitely come when he is done. ”

Yes, it has been five days since Jin Yuan and her were separated in the hospital last time, and they said that they would travel together on the day of Xiu Muri, but they didn't say anything about it when they didn't come, and there was no news for a few days.

Ning Zhao was indeed angry at first, but now she was more worried.

If Jin Yuan was delayed, he would also send someone to explain to her, and it would not be like now that there was no news at all.

"Alright." The more Ning Zhao thought about it, the more he ate in his heart, and he interrupted Qing Cicada impatiently, and said, "Mother, it's time to wait, let's go quickly." ”

Qing Cicada opened her mouth, but before she spoke, Ning Zhao didn't wait for her, turned around and left, Qing Cicada couldn't, so she had to shut up and follow.

Aunt Dou's body is recovering very well, she no longer needs to be supported, she can move freely, knowing that Ning Zhao should come back, she waited in the courtyard and looked forward to it, seeing Ning Zhao's figure, Aunt Dou happily greeted her.

"I'm back." Aunt Dou beckoned to Ning Zhao, and Ning Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to hold Aunt Dou's hand.

Aunt Dou looked at her lovingly and said with a smile: "Dinner has been prepared, just wait for you to come back and start the meal." ”

Ning Zhao smiled gently, nodded, and said, "If I come back late in the future, my mother doesn't have to wait for me." ”

"Isn't it early?" Aunt Dou pulled Ning Zhao to sit down in the courtyard and said with a smile: "How many times have I said this, I know, you don't have to remind me every time." ”

Ning Zhao grinned, asked Qing Cicada to go to the kitchen to help, and chatted with Aunt Dou himself, and after a while, a table of food was served.

The dinner time of the mother and daughter is always so warm, every moment, the exhaustion and pressure that have accumulated on Ning Zhao all day will temporarily disappear, allowing her to have this moment of respite.

After dinner, Ning Zhao talked to Aunt Dou again, and then went back to his yard.

As soon as she stepped into the courtyard gate, Ning Zhao's straight back instantly collapsed, and a surging feeling of exhaustion hit her, making her sleepy. Seeing this, Qing Cicada hurriedly went to prepare hot water for Ning Zhao to wash, Ning Zhao sat in front of the stone table, poured himself a cup of weak tea, and drank it slowly.

The eyes always unconsciously swept to the courtyard wall, and the heart always looked forward to the end of the darkness, and there would be a familiar figure coming over the wall, and the demeanor appeared in front of him.

Thinking about it, the corners of Ning Zhao's mouth couldn't help but hook, but the next moment he disappeared.

"Where have you been?" Ning Zhao muttered softly, the concern in his heart did not disappear with time, but became more and more intense.

After the two expressed their intentions, they had not been separated for such a long time, although it was only a few days, but in Ning Zhao's heart, it seemed like a long time had passed.

Ning Zhao was thinking about it, when there was a sudden slight noise outside the courtyard wall, Ning Zhao suddenly looked up, but saw nothing.

Thinking that she was thinking too much and fantasizing, Ning Zhao smiled helplessly, and the next moment another sound came into her ears.

Ning Zhao calmed down, listened carefully, and heard a few cracking sounds of leaf stumps being trampled.

If it weren't for the fact that the courtyard was too quiet, this slight sound would not have attracted Ning Zhao's attention at all, but it was this little noise, but Ning Zhao noticed that something was wrong.

His yard is in the westernmost part of the house, and apart from himself, there are few people walking around here on weekdays, even during the day, let alone at night.

Ning Zhao got up, quietly came to the courtyard gate, and listened carefully.

The movement outside disappeared suddenly, Ning Zhao waited patiently, and after a while, the sound of gentle footsteps sounded again, but instead of facing his own courtyard, he walked towards the main hall.

Ning Zhao's brows furrowed.

If you heard it correctly, someone climbed over the wall to enter the movement before, and in the middle of the night, who would sneak into the Taifu's Mansion in such a way?!

Jin Yuan can completely rule it out, except for himself, Jin Yuan doesn't need to look for anyone else.

Who else would it be?

"Miss, what are you doing there?" Qing Cicada came out of the small kitchen, looked at Ning Zhao who was standing close to the door, and asked puzzled.
