I slept very deeply, and when I woke up the next day, it was already dawn.

"Is the young lady awake?" Qinghe was coming in from outside with a copper basin, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly walked to the bed and asked through the curtain.

Du Rongzhi woke up, she was still a little ignorant, and she let out a "hmm" in a daze, and her eyes subconsciously looked at the bedside - but it was empty.

She couldn't say what she felt for a while, and she couldn't even tell whether everything that happened last night was real or a dream, so she only sat up with her arms in her arms, and the whole person was a little stunned.

Qinghe had already lifted the curtain quickly, hooked it with a hook, and said with a smile, "Young lady slept well...... The sun is all on the butt! ”

Du Rongzhi came back to her senses and smiled at her casually, "What time is it?" ”

"It's time."

Du Rongzhi nodded, was silent for a while, and hesitated, "Qinghe, I ...... last night I had a dream......"

Qinghe twisted the veil and was about to wipe her face, when she saw that she said solemnly, she couldn't help but move, and hurriedly asked, "What is the young lady dreaming about?" ”

“…… I seem to have dreamed of the eldest young master......" Du Rongzhi pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "He still ...... Said me a lot of strange things—"

Before her words fell, Qinghe couldn't help but hide her lips and laugh, "Where is the dream!" He did come back last night! ”

Du Rongzhi was stunned and looked at her blankly, "Back?" ”

"Yes." Qinghe couldn't help but be a little amused when he thought of the things at night, and said happily, "Last night, the slave and maid slept hazy, and suddenly heard a movement outside, and they were still making trouble in the house!" Who would have thought that the master would rush back overnight! ”

Du Rongzhi saw that she was relaxed, and there was a faint hint of joy in her tone, and her face suddenly sank, "Since you know that he is back, why didn't you wake me up at that time?" ”

Qinghe smiled, shrunk her neck and whispered, "The slave maid was originally going to follow up, but the master said that he would just take a look at you, and he would leave after a while......" Seeing Du Rongzhi frowning unhappily, she hurriedly said, "And you woke up when the master just came in...... The slave and maid listened to you talking to him inside, and their voices were kind, so they didn't dare to come in......"

Du Rongzhi glared at her angrily, thought about it, and asked again, "Then did you hear what we said?" ”

"Actually, the slaves and maids are far apart...... I didn't hear it very clearly...... Qinghe laughed twice, and said with a slight blushing face, "I vaguely heard that the master said that he would take you and Miss Sun out of the capital...... Go outside and see ......."

"Did he really say that......" Du Rongzhi pursed her lower lip and muttered in distraction.

"Isn't that right? The slave and maid listened to it really. Qinghe hurriedly nodded firmly, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's extremely rare for you to be able to do this...... Why didn't the young lady say yes at that time? If you say yes, you will be very happy. "Five

Du Rongzhi was silent for a long time.

It is true that for her at this time, Song Zixun's proposal is undoubtedly extremely tempting.

Although after so many days of careful consideration, she was already ready to work with Song Zi and overcome obstacles, but at the same time, she was also more soberly aware of what this road to the ultimate honor, the lady of the Guogong Mansion, meant to her.

Shen's insidiousness, Fu's viciousness, Song Ziche's obsession, and the second room's eyeing - in her previous life, they forced her into the abyss of no return, leaving her and her children dead without a place to be buried, in this life, how long can she hold on and how far can she go...... Even she didn't know about it.

But now, these problems seem to be solved.

Just, can she do it?

After experiencing the pain of losing two lives, can she really go to a new place with him and start their new life without any guilt?

At that time, will she repeat her previous mistakes and unknowingly become dependent on him and have unrealistic illusions about him...... And then put yourself in a pathetic and pitiful situation again?

Will she......

Seeing that Du Rongzhi didn't speak for a long time, and her dark eyes were just staring blankly at the embroidery on the quilt, Qinghe couldn't help but persuade in a low voice, "Although we live in the countryside now, it is pure, but it is not a long-term solution...... The young lady is not for anything else, but she also has to think about the future of herself and Miss Sun, even if she can't leave for a long time, it's good to postpone it for two years......"

"I know......" Du Rongzhi slowly came back to her senses, raised her head and smiled calmly, "I understand all of this." It's just that I slept in a daze last night, and I didn't listen to him talk about that, and I didn't have any preparation for it for a while, not that I didn't want to......," she paused and said softly, "If the eldest young master really plans to go out on an errand, the elders will allow it...... Naturally, I was going to go with him. ”

Qinghe nodded happily, "It's best if the young lady can think like this!" You can rest assured, the slave listens to the tone of the master, and this matter is about to be decided. She said happily, "When I left this morning, I also said that I would tell you to recuperate here in peace, and when he finished doing the things outside, he would come and pick you up in person." ”

Du Rongzhi was silent and said slowly, "If this thing can really go so smoothly, it will be better......

Qinghe couldn't help but be stunned, "Is the young lady worried that the old lady and the lady will not agree to let you go with the master?" She thought for a moment and shook her head, "That can't ...... The old lady loves the young master the most, even if the lady obstructs it, the old lady will not let her. ”

Du Rongzhi smiled and shook her head, "Whether I can go or not is a matter of later, I'm afraid that even the matter of going out is just our lord's own wishful thinking." ”

Qinghe was even more puzzled, "Then why?" ”

Du Rongzhi smiled happily, took the handkerchief in her hand and wiped her face, "What a noble place the Hanlin Academy is, others want to drill in when they sharpen their heads, but he wants to release the ...... at this time" Du Rongzhi said, somehow the scene in front of her when Song Zixun said this last night appeared, she was stunned for a moment before handing the handkerchief to Qinghe, and continued, "If he stays in the Hanlin Academy for a few more years, when he has enough qualifications, he will seek a release, and it is okay to go out and practice for a few years." But now—" Du Rongzhi paused, "I'm afraid that the elders may not agree." ”

Qinghe thought about it, and then smiled, "The slave and maid don't understand these truths that the young lady said very well, but the slave and maid thought that since the master has put aside his words, there must be his way." The young lady just needs to take care of her body with peace of mind now, and when the time comes, she will just wait to take office with the eldest young master......"

Du Rongzhi couldn't help but smile and nodded, "That's what you said...... It's not something we can worry about, so let's wait and see. ”
