When Qin Shuang'er was carrying the decoction and preparing to send it to Zhou's room, she happened to see Chang Wen walking in the opposite direction, and as soon as her heart moved, she stopped someone: "Brother Chang, why do you have time to walk around here?" She vaguely remembered that Changwen was usually busy outside, and it was easy not to come here, so why was it so abnormal today?

Facing Qin Shuang'er's surprise and incomprehension, Chang Wen showed a little embarrassment on his face: "I just finished the things I was doing, and I heard that General Lu's little son was sick, so I came to take a look, but fortunately, his condition has stabilized a lot now." ”

"Yes." Speaking of Xiaoxue's illness, Qin Shuang'er also sighed a lot, "If Xiaoxue's condition hadn't suddenly improved, she would really have been broken." ”

Speaking of which, it seems that they haven't seen each other for a few days, whether Qin Shuang'er will miss him, Chang Wen doesn't know, but his heart for Qin Shuang'er is true, seeing that An Xiabai and the others are getting better and better, Chang Wen relaxed, and began to ask Qin Shuang'er about his future plans: "There are people from the imperial court who are watching closely, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the restaurant to continue to open in the capital, and they won't give up until they find someone, what are you going to do during this time?" ”

Qin Shuang'er didn't expect him to ask this question, she was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a complicated expression.

It's not that she deliberately hides something from Changwen, but she really doesn't have any plans now.

"I just want to stay with Mrs. Lu now and repay her for saving her life, as for anything else, I won't think about it for the time being."

When the two were talking in the corridor, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly opened, it turned out that when An Xiabai was taking care of Zhou in the house, she felt that the atmosphere was too dull, and it was uncomfortable to stay in the house all the time, so she came out to breathe, even she didn't expect that as soon as she opened the door, she would be able to see Qin Shuang'er and Chang Wen talking in private.

Immediately let out a surprise and cast a playful look.

Without waiting for Qin Shuang'er to speak to Chang Wen, she turned back again.

A series of actions made Qin Shuang'er's face red, at first glance, it seemed as if she was going to drip blood in the next second, she knew that An Xiabai suddenly turned her head back, she must have misunderstood something, so she was anxious to go back and explain.

Chang Wen looked at her funny, but didn't say much.

When the two said goodbye, Qin Shuang'er entered the room, An Xiabai already looked as usual, she acted as if she hadn't seen anything at all just now, and was still serving Zhou with all her heart, even the decoction sent by Qin Shuang'er was also fed to Zhou's mouth by mouth, if someone who didn't know what was going on came in, maybe she would think that An Xiabai was Zhou's biological daughter.

Although she didn't understand why An Xiabai was so dedicated to the Zhou family, Qin Shuang'er still respected it.

It wasn't until An Xiabai finished feeding the medicine and Zhou lay back on the bed to rest that she pulled An Xiabai outside to talk, and she said solemnly: "Mrs. Lu, you listen to my explanation, Brother Chang and I are really not what you think." ”

"Oh, what do I think?"

Qin Shuang'er raised her head suddenly, and happened to meet An Xiabai's smiling eyes, in just a moment, she already understood An Xiabai's thoughts, it must be a joke about her.

Qin Shuang'er's cheeks became more and more red: "It's the one you saw outside just now." ”

What she never expected was that she had already said this, but An Xiabai still pretended not to understand, looking at her with a smile.

"But I didn't see anything just now."

Qin Shuang'er's face was buried lower and lower, and the hand that was twisting her sleeves became harder and harder, seeing this situation, An Xiabai knew that she was overly nervous and shy, so she put away her teasing thoughts, and said: "Shuang'er, in fact, you don't need to explain to me, feelings are very common, and I am also a sweetheart, of course I can understand your thoughts." ”

Qin Shuang'er waved her hand again and again: "No, I'm not ...... to Brother Chang"

An Xiabai couldn't help but laugh, and the gloom that had been shrouded in her heart for a long time suddenly dissipated a little.

"Bystander Qing, do you have that kind of mind about Chang Wen, we outsiders can see it better than you."

"I, I-" Qin Shuang'er didn't know what to say for a while, so she simply didn't say anything, thinking that anyway, the decoction had already been delivered, and it shouldn't be useful for her to stay here, so she turned her head and wanted to leave, but before she could take a step, her wrist was grabbed by An Xiabai behind her.

An Xiabai's hand was warm, coming from the place where the skin touched, inexplicably giving Qin Shuang'er a kind of strength.

She smiled and said to Qin Shuang'er: "I know that you may have other thoughts in your heart now, as an outsider, I shouldn't have said more, but the current situation is special, I have to say it." Shuang'er, do you remember Jia Jia, she originally had a sweetheart, and then that person passed away for some reason, which caused her to leave the sad place of the capital, and before leaving, she told me and Ruqing to cherish the people in front of her. Chang Wen is a good person, although I don't know him well, but judging from the care he has taken care of you these days, he does have other thoughts about you, and you are the same. ”

Qin Shuang'er looked back with a complicated expression.

Without waiting for her to speak, An Xiabai shook her head with a smile: "What I said, you can also listen to it as a deaf ear, alas, there have been too many changes recently, it will inevitably make people a little sentimental, if you think I said something wrong, don't take it to heart." ”

An Xiabai's sincere appearance made Qin Shuang'er panic.

She shook her head and shook An Xiabai's hand hard: "Mrs. Lu, what you said is right, I should probably consider something." ”

Time turned, and soon it turned to the evening, and An Xiabai, who was busy with everything, dragged his tired body to the study.

No matter how strong a person is, there will always be times when she is vulnerable, and An Xiabai herself is no exception, especially in the dead of night, when she is alone, this sadness becomes more and more obvious, and she is almost out of breath.

She began to miss Lu Li.

It has been a month since I last received Lu Li's letter, and I heard the news from the DPRK that the situation at the border does not seem to be very optimistic, and I don't know how Lu Li is doing at the border now? What's more, she feels that she is about to be unable to support it, serving the Zhou family to take care of the two children, even people made of steel will be tired, not to mention her physical condition is already very bad?

At this time, An Xiabai didn't have to come back, she just wanted to write a letter and ask for a definite return date.

There is a thought that can continue to persist in this turbulent capital, isn't it?

An Xiabai wrote down the recent situation on the letterhead with pen and ink, and also poured out her thoughts about Lu Li in the letter, and at the end, she wrote her expectations for Lu Li's return.

The tears that had been accumulated in her eyes for a long time fell down like a broken pearl when she closed the pen, and it happened to bloom an ink-colored flower, An Xiabai wanted to wipe it off, but it was too late, so she simply ignored it, directly sealed the letterhead, and then sent it to the little girl.

There was no dream in the night.

An Xiabai fell asleep with her two children in her arms, feeling their steady breathing, and slept exceptionally peacefully.

Early the next morning, she was awakened by the panicked footsteps outside, because she didn't want to scare the two children, so An Xiabai got up quietly and closed the door before asking the maid about the news.

"Is there something wrong with such a panic outside?"

"The slave and maid don't know, early in the morning I heard a voice outside, saying that the second prince was outside the door, and kept saying that the prisoner was in the house, and it had been a long time of trouble."

How did Feng Bailin come!

An Xiabai knew that hiding in the Changwen Mansion was not a long-term solution after all, and she also thought that Feng Bailin would come to the door, but she didn't expect that people would come so quickly.

Just as she was wrinkling her eyebrows and thinking deeply, Ruqing hurriedly ran over.

As soon as she saw the flustered expression on her face, as well as the appearance of being out of breath because of her hurry, An Xiabai knew that the maid did not speak, and Feng Bailin really came: "Is it often heard in the house, how is the situation outside?" ”

Ruqing was stunned for a while when she asked this, thinking that she hadn't said anything, how could An Xiabai know that something was wrong outside?

Because of the urgency of the situation, she didn't think much about it, took An Xiabai's hand and walked out: "Feng Bailin is now confronting Chang Wen at the door, he brought a lot of guards, all of them are from the palace, and he kept saying that Chang Wen was guilty, and threatened Chang Wen to hand you over quickly, seeing that people are about to fight." I thought that I would definitely not be able to avoid this catastrophe, so I came to you first, and wanted you to go first. ”

An Xiabai's heart warmed slightly, and her expression was firm: "How can I go first?" ”

Her steps stopped in the distance, and their steps seemed as heavy as lead.

"Why don't you go?" Ruqing is in a hurry, and the strength of pulling people is a little heavier, An Xiabai doesn't know martial arts, and her body is relatively weak compared to people who practice martial arts, usually Ruqing can pull her easily with half of her strength, but today she doesn't know what's going on, and she can't pull people with all her might.

It's An Xiabai who doesn't want to go.

"My two children, family and friends are here, I just want to go, where can I go?" She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of despair, "I have nowhere to run, rather than leaving them alone, it is better to stay and live together, when something really happens, I can still do my best to protect them." ”

At this moment, a panicked little guy passed by, screaming loudly as he ran.

"There's a fight at the gate, come on!"

Hearing this, An Xiabai and Ruqing were both nervous, it must be the side of the gate, Changwen and Feng Bailin had a dispute, one wanted to enter the door, the other was not allowed to enter, and there was a big fight between the two sides!

Things have developed to such a point that An Xiabai can no longer keep calm, and directly pulls his hand out of Ruqing's hand, and then rushes all the way in the direction of the gate.

Looking at her back as she walked away, Ruqing gritted her teeth secretly.

Isn't there another way?

For a moment, Ruqing really felt what despair was.
