Chapter 52: Just Friends

At dusk the next day, under the reflection of the setting sun, Du Xiaomeng carried a simple burden and stood in front of the gate of the General's Mansion with the autumn wind on his back.

Because last night, Old Man Zhan's condition became seriously ill in the middle of the night, and she was called to the General's Mansion again;

Because Zhan Qi explained to her awkwardly, he didn't mean anything else when he said that he would arrange a place for her to live yesterday, but because he invited her to come over to take care of his father, he was embarrassed to watch her running around, and he didn't want her to run around too much, so he thought about letting her live in the General's Mansion.

Because of the recurrence of Old Man Zhan's illness, she felt that she had the responsibility to take good care of the old man who loved her as a daughter in this extraordinary period to repay his kindness;

Therefore, she no longer cared about the heartbreaking words that Zhan Qi had said before, and decided to move to the General's Mansion for the time being.

Looking up at the plaque with "General's Mansion" written on it above his head, Du Xiaomeng remembered the first time he stood in front of this door, and then remembered the scene when he was abandoned in front of his biological father's mansion by the woman called "Mother" many years ago.

The two memories overlapped together, and Du Xiaomeng was shocked to realize that the gate of her biological father's mansion was so similar to the gate of the General's Mansion, not in shape or style, but in the same style as that of a wealthy family. I don't know why, looking at the open door of the General's Mansion, a strange thought flashed through her mind, she felt that if she stepped into the gate of the General's Mansion today, it would be difficult for her to come out again in the future.

Her head was thinking about some messy things, and she didn't notice that Zhan Qi didn't know when she was standing behind her.

When Zhan Qi came back, he saw Du Xiaomeng, who was a little thinly dressed, standing in front of the gate with a burden, motionless looking at the plaque above his head in a daze. He didn't deliberately walk towards her lightly, but when he walked behind her, she still kept her original posture unnoticed.

Unable to figure out what a plaque was so beautiful, Zhan Qi stood behind her and looked at her for a while, and finally couldn't help asking, "Why are you standing here and not going in?" ”

Du Xiaomeng didn't hear it, she was stunned for a while before she withdrew her gaze from the plaque, and sighed depressedly. When she stabilized her mind and was about to raise her feet and walk inside, she suddenly found Zhan Qi, dressed in court clothes, standing majestically behind her.

was taken aback, Du Xiaomeng threw him a roll of his eyes, and said dissatisfiedly: "Standing behind me for no reason and silent, you want to scare me to death?" ”

Zhan Qi said angrily: "I have already called you, but you yourself sleepwalked here in the middle of the day and didn't hear it." Now you're here blocking my way, and you're blaming me for scaring you? ”

Du Xiaomeng took a look at the place where he was standing, which was the middle of the gate. Although it is said that the General's Mansion is a high-ranking family, it is indeed very blocking the way to go there like this.

The old man guarding the door cast a foolish look at her, she pretended not to see it with some embarrassment, flashed and made way to Zhan Qi and said, "You go first." ”

Zhan Qi didn't move, looked up at the plaque, looked at her curiously and asked, "What's so beautiful about this plaque?" Can you see dementia, sighing and sighing? ”

Catching up with his curious gaze, Du Xiaomeng said without concealment: "I suddenly thought of the first time I stood outside the gate of the General's Mansion. That time, I was turned away from the door with a sedan chair, and then I got off the sedan chair and patted the door for a long time, and Uncle Yang put us in. And this time the door opened for me, and I was a little unaccustomed to it. ”

Thinking of the deliberate act of embarrassing the bride at the beginning, Zhan Qi said with some embarrassment: "It's all in the past, what do you want to do?" ”

That's right, it's all in the past, and she moved out of the general's mansion with a clear line. However, not long after she moved out, she sent herself to the General's Mansion again, just like last time, like a child playing at home.

Thinking of this, Du Xiaomeng looked up at Zhan Qi, with a half-serious and half-joking expression on his face, and said, "Now that I think about it, my fate with the General's Mansion is quite deep, and this end goes out and the other end comes in again." How do I think I entered your general's mansion this time, and I won't be able to get out in the future? ”

Zhan Qi scoffed at Du Xiaomeng's words: "I'm not from Longtan Tiger's Den here, you can come and leave if you want, and someone will stop you and lock you?" Besides, you are now a member of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I don't have the guts to imprison you. ”

Du Xiaomeng was unhappy when she heard that Zhan Qi had once again pulled her and Yu Tianzheng together to talk about things. She rolled her eyes again, raised her voice a little and said, "What am I from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" I said this as if I had some unclear relationship with His Highness. Let me tell you again, Your Highness and I are purely friends, that's all, it's not as complicated as you think! ”

"Just friends?" Zhan Qi looked at Du Xiaomeng with disbelief and asked in a skeptical tone.
