On the evening of the second day, Zheng Zhi waited outside the study with a food box. She didn't let the little maid in to report, just waited with Xiaolan while quietly admiring a few plums in the yard.

The weather at the end of February was cold, and it didn't take long for Xiao Lan on the side to start shivering, and said softly: "Miss, the weather is so cold, the slave maid asked you to wear more clothes, but you just didn't listen." The eldest prince doesn't know when he will come out, so why don't you let the little guy in and report it? ”

Zheng Zhi frowned slightly, and Xiao Lan quietly shut up when she saw this situation. As the days of getting along increased, she began to understand the young lady's temperament more and more. Miss is a gentle person and is kind to the people around her who are good to her. But once she decides something, it's useless for others to say more.

After two sticks of incense, Bai Ziyi walked out of the study tiredly. When I saw Zheng Zhi, I was startled, only wearing a thin blue-green jacket in the cold wind, and her face was already slightly pale.

"What are you doing standing there on a cold day?" Bai Ziyi was very surprised, and when he saw that Zheng Zhi was still holding a food box in his hand, he felt a little ashamed, walked over and took Zheng Zhi's hand, and found that the hand was cold.

"What's going on? Why didn't you report when the little grandmother came?! Bai Ziyi's voice was low, implying anger.

The little ones were already kneeling on the ground, and a little guy named Zhuwang, who usually served Bai Ziyi's daily life, said with a bitter face: "The eldest prince is angry, and the slaves and maids dare not report it, because the little grandmother is afraid of disturbing the eldest prince so she doesn't let the little ones report." ”

"What Zhu Wang said is true?" Bai Ziyi was asking Zheng Zhi when he said this.

Zheng Zhi nodded, "I'm afraid of disturbing the Xianggong, so I asked them not to report it, it's really difficult for them." “

Bai Ziyi nodded: "Get up, Zhu Wang, go add a stove and put it in the study." ”

When the stove is ready, the warmth in the room begins to spread. This is the first time Zheng Zhi has entered Bai Ziyi's study. The room was quiet and elegant, with several ledgers on the bookcase, and a book mixed in with it. Zheng Zhi unconsciously glanced at the book a few more times, although the book was sandwiched in the middle and couldn't see the complete title clearly, but she could faintly see that the last word was "Zi", this book was quite familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

"Why did you come here all of a sudden?" Bai Ziyi's friendly voice sounded.

"I should be very tired when my husband is busy with official business recently, so I stewed some ginseng and black chicken soup, and I have asked Xiaolan to go to the small kitchen to warm up, and I can drink it while it is hot later." Zheng Zhi smiled softly.

"It's okay, don't wait outside in the future, it's not good if it's cold weather. If you want to come, just let Zhuwang inform me. Bai Ziyi shook Zheng Zhi's hand, well, it was much warmer.

"Yes. I was afraid that I would disturb Xianggong and Ling Ergongzi to discuss important matters, so I made this plan. Speaking of which, this Ling's second son has a superior family background, I don't know if there is a marriage match? “

"Ling Xiao has never been married. How can you ask about this, it is rare to see you inquire about other people's affairs. Bai Ziyi's expression seemed to be smiling.

It's that expression again! Zheng Zhi thought about it for a while, and tried her best to gently elaborate on Bai Zifei's affection for Ling Xiao. After Zheng Zhi finished speaking, Bai Ziyi's originally smooth brows were already furrowed, and he was silent for a long time. After a cup of tea, Bai Ziyi slowly whispered: "Let Zifei die." ”

Zheng Zhi couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She should know her father's intention in arranging this family affair for her, and her father wants her to be a carefree rich woman. Ling Xiao's family background, she can't cope with it. Besides, Ling Xiao wouldn't like her either. “

When Zheng Zhi heard the last sentence, she felt strange in her heart, and the question had already blurted out: "Why doesn't Ling Xiao like her?" “

Bai Ziyi smiled and didn't answer, only said: "I'll talk to Zifei later, you don't have to worry about these things." With that, he walked to the bookcase and picked up the top ledger casually.

Zheng Zhi didn't know what to say for a while, what was the purpose of her original visit? In addition to helping Bai Zifei, there are also ......

Zheng Zhi glanced at Bai Ziyi, who was looking at the account book, and was nervous. In fact, she was selfish, when Bai Zifei asked her to come to Bai Ziyi to intercede, she had already wanted to agree, so that she would have an excuse to come to him.

Zheng Zhi took a breath, blushed, and finally spoke: "It must be inconvenient for the father-in-law to be alone in the study these days, although the father-in-law and aunt haven't said anything, but the concubine thinks it's not too good to go on like this, this is because we haven't done our duty." After speaking, Zheng Zhi didn't dare to look directly at Bai Ziyi, her body was slightly sideways, and she turned her face away.

Bai Ziyi's hand looking through the ledger paused, he didn't look at Zheng Zhi, his eyes stayed on the ledger, and a gentle voice sounded: "That's right, I haven't looked at Zheng Rui for a long time." Then he ordered outside the door, "Zhuwang, pack up my things tonight and move them to Qiutang Courtyard." ”

"Yes!" Zhuwang outside the door looked at Xiao Lan, who was happily walking here with a tray, embarrassedly.

And Zheng Zhi's hanging heart seemed to have been thrown to the ground, and her eyes were pantothenic in pain. She was glad that she didn't let Bai Ziyi see her face when she turned sideways just now. She secretly calmed down, blinked her eyes to suppress the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of her eyes, got up and walked out, trying not to make her voice tremble: "Xiao Lan's hot chicken soup is not good yet?" I'll take a look. ”

As soon as she walked out of the door, Xiao Lan had already come over with a porcelain bowl, "Eh, Miss, why did you come out?" What's wrong with your eyes?"

"When I came out, the wind and sand were blind, and it was not in the way. Let's bring the soup in first. Zheng Zhi pretended to be relaxed and said.

Zheng Zhi wanted to take Xiaolan back to Tinglan Courtyard directly, but Bai Ziyi asked people to prepare a few side dishes, saying that Zheng Zhi would use them casually.

Zheng Zhi looked at her nose and her nose, and sandwiched a piece of Dongpo meat closest to her, the stewed meat with thick oil and red sauce, but she felt bitter when she ate it at this time. A meal tastes like chewing wax.

Zheng Zhi doesn't remember how she ended up in Tinglan Courtyard, she only remembers that as soon as she lay in bed that night, her pillow was wet with tears.
