Speaking of Du Yuanzhi, because he wanted to wait for news from Xiyu and a suitable opportunity to join the office, he had been living in the dormitory of Songlin Academy. However, he had already taken the Tongjinshi exam, and his status was different from that of a student in the academy.

After a long time of getting an official position, Du Zhen has endured a lot of pressure, not only the rumors in the academy, but also the money he was already strapped for.

A few days ago, a girl who claimed to be Miss Yang's maid came to him, saying that her young lady was detained in the house by the master because she did not obey her parents' orders. Du Yuanzhi was a little puzzled, but after asking a few details, he believed this servant girl - if it wasn't for Miss Yang's henchman, it would be impossible to know this.

But after the letter was handed over to the maidservant, there was no news for the next few days.

Du Yuanzhi had no choice but to start his former business - selling calligraphy and paintings.

It's just that he is now a famous person, and this kind of thing can't be known, so he has to entrust a credible person to help handle it on his behalf. But this matter could not be hidden from Lin Ruo.

These calligraphy and paintings are not worth much, Lin Ruo went to buy two characters and a folding fan with landscapes, and then asked Zhuxuan to "smuggle" to the palace and handed it to Xijiao, and inadvertently, revealed the origin and price of this calligraphy and painting to Xijiao.

Coincidentally, not long after this calligraphy and painting arrived in Xijiao's hands, the palace people came to report, saying that the Zuo Xiangjia was the little son Luo Zhe, and I heard that the princess was in a bad mood, so she sent a lot of exquisite playthings to please the princess.

If it was before the change, with Xijiao's temperament, he would definitely beat all the palace people who sent things out and smash them to pieces. But at this moment, there was not much expression on her depressed face, and she said lightly, "There is Lao Luo Hanlin bothering", and let people accept it.

This reaction made Mei makeup and Xun Xia at a loss.

But when the news reached the ears of the emperor, she nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that the effect of Lin Ruo's persuasion is still very good. Although Lin Ruo has not entered the palace in the past few days, Xijiao's whole mood is low, but fortunately, he is finally sensible.

As for how sad this sensible Xijiao is, they won't think of it; Even if I thought about it, I wouldn't care.

And Lin Ruo, who was one of the people who really cared about Xijiao's feelings, knew that what she was doing now was a bit cruel, but she still handed the sign into the palace to see Xijiao.

Compared with Mei Makeup and Xun Xia's excitement when they saw Lin Ruoru as if they saw a life-saving straw, Xijiao's reaction was very ordinary, and even a little cowardly.

"Back to the princess, after returning from the palace that day, the princess is so preoccupied and depressed. The slave was very worried, but she couldn't help the princess in anything. Mei Makeup reddened the corners of her eyes, "Princess, the princess listens to you the most, the slave begs you, persuade the princess......"

"I know," Lin Ruo sighed and took a wooden box from Zhu Xuan's hand, "You all stand down." ”

"Yes."

Zhu Xuan and the palace people who were waiting for Xijiao all withdrew. In the huge dormitory, only Xijiao and Lin Ruo were left. The empty room was warm, but there was an inexplicable chill - probably the chill from the bottom of Xijiao's heart.

Xi Ji watched Lin Ruo come over with an expressionless face, sat down beside her, and then asked her softly with a distressed smile on her face, "What's wrong".

With Lin Ruo's intelligence, it is not difficult to figure out what she is thinking now.

Xijiao was confused, perhaps, her fourth sister-in-law, from the beginning, was not her ally, but the lobbyist of the emperor and queen, a really clever lobbyist! In the process of thinking that she was helping her step by step towards the road of hope to become a family with Du Zhen, her hope for the future was consumed little by little.

Lin Ruo obviously didn't do anything to destroy her relationship with Du Yuanzhi, but she was silently shaken.

And at this moment, this enemy Neiying, who was dressed as an ally, asked her innocently what was wrong......

Xijiao took a deep breath, looked at Lin Ruo without moving for a moment, and asked sincerely: "Fourth sister-in-law, you say, can I be happy with Yuanzhi?" ”

Lin Ruo looked at her calmly and asked rhetorically, "Why do you suddenly ask like that?" Aren't you willing to give up anything just to be with him? Why hesitate? ”

Xi Ji confirmed her conjecture from Lin Ruo's calm reaction, she subconsciously clenched her hands and continued to follow the other party's words, but in her tone, she couldn't help but bring deep despair and sadness: "I thought that with him, I would play the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and hops every day, but these days I found out that it doesn't seem to be the case." ”

Lin Ruojun frowned, held Xijiao's hand, and said softly, "Are you tired these days?" blamed me for being too anxious, and let you cook, wash, and tailor, and let you see the life of an ordinary woman. Don't think about it, rest for a few days first. ”

"Really?" Xi Ji smiled bitterly, hearing Lin Ruo admit it so easily, she felt even more aggrieved in her heart, the grievances that had accumulated in these days burst out together, and tears couldn't stop flowing, "Fourth sister-in-law, you know that if you rest for a few days, it will still be like this." I know you really want to help me, but I ...... I don't know (crying)...... I'm so scared, I'm afraid that I won't have a future with Yuanzhi......"

"Xijiao......" Lin Ruo hugged Xijiao in his arms, let her cry in his arms, sighed, patted her back gently, and comforted gently, "I know you are wronged, it's okay to cry." ”

"Fourth sister-in-law," Xijiao, who was crying on Lin Ruo's shoulder, finally eased down after a while, but she was in this position, sobbing, and asked weakly and desperately, "Fourth sister-in-law, in fact, you have long planned to persuade me to give up staying away, instead of sincerely helping me." It's just that you're too clever and you want me to see it all for myself, don't you? ”

After Xi Ji finished speaking, she slowly left Lin Ruo's embrace, looking at her sadly with red eyes.

Lin Ruo shook his head, and did not shy away from Shang Xijiao's questioning gaze: "No." ”

Xi Yao smiled bitterly and raised her voice: "Fourth sister-in-law, until now, are you still going to lie to me?" Didn't you just want me to learn how to cook, how to do laundry, how to tailor and sew, and to show me the current situation of those poor women? ”

"Retreating?" Lin Ruo laughed, "If your love for Du Yuanzhi is not so deep and you can't hold on, I can naturally persuade you to retreat despite the difficulties; But if you are determined enough, then no matter what I do, no matter how many obstacles I put in your place, you will not waver. Xijiao, the wind and snow's "Legend of the White Snake", you don't fall on the field, the White Lady and Xu Xian, one is a demon, the other is a human, their feelings can be cultivated, not because they have not experienced setbacks, but because they have never compromised in the face of any tribulation, they do not hesitate to flood the gold mountain, they do not hesitate to steal fairy grass, and they do everything to fight against the Fahai that hinders them! ”
