Zhan Qi thought that Du Xiaomeng was just talking casually when she said about drinking, but she didn't expect that she really drank, and her drinking action was quite fierce and not sven at all.

Seeing that she poured down the whole bottle of wine at once, and picked up another bottle to put it in her mouth, Zhan Qi couldn't help but put down the wine jar, stood up, walked quickly to her, grabbed the wine bottle with one hand, and said, "What kind of wine do you drink when you have nothing to do?" Stop drinking! ”

Du Xiaomeng raised her eyes and swept him and said dissatisfiedly: "When did you become so stingy?" There's so much wine here that it can drown you, and I can't drink it at all, huh? ”

Zhan Qi lowered his head and didn't look at her, swept the wine bottles placed beside her with one hand, turned around and walked to the wine rack and put the wine bottles back one by one, and said without looking back while putting them down: "This is not the place for you to stay, if you have nothing else to do, you should leave quickly." ”

"I have nowhere to go." Du Xiaomeng looked at his back and said slowly.

The movement of Zhan Qi's hand paused, but returned to normal in a moment. He put down the last bottle, sat down on the ground, took a sip of the jar, and asked nonchalantly, "How come you have nowhere to go?" ”

Du Xiaomeng looked at him and said slowly: "I escaped from the Rui Wangfu, and I have decided not to have anything to do with the people or things in the Rui Wangfu in the future." ”

This answer made Zhan Qi's hand holding the wine jar shake for a moment, he raised his head to look at Du Xiaomeng and asked in surprise, "Why?" ”

The moment Du Xiaomeng appeared in the wine cellar, Zhan Qi saw her graceful and luxurious dress, and felt that she must have lived a very good life in Rui Wangfu, Yu Tianzheng took good care of her, and thought that the relationship between her and Yu Tianzheng had been determined, and she would become Yu Tianzheng's princess at any time. Why did she have to leave to escape from the Rui Wangfu and leave Yu Tianzheng?

Du Xiaomeng made a very helpless expression, lowered her eyes and said, "I don't want to be a stand-in for a dead man, so I can only leave." ”

Zhan Qi knew in his heart who the dead man Du Xiaomeng was talking about, but he still said, "You think too much, right?" In my opinion, Your Highness's heart for you is true......"

"Enough!" Du Xiaomeng interrupted Zhan Qi's words suddenly, and she stood up all of a sudden, and said in a loud voice with her hands on her hips and anger on her face: "Can you bastard always speak for Yu Tianzheng?" If you don't say how good he is, you'll die? Speak so well of your good brother, why don't you hook up with him and get a fuck with him? ”

Looking at Du Xiaomeng's angry red face, Zhan Qi remembered that every time he talked to her about something related to Yu Tianzheng, he would get into a quarrel, and finally ended up in a unhappy situation; He even remembered the night before the expedition, Du Xiaomeng cried and shouted at him that he hated him and wanted to leave the General's Mansion to hide away from Yu Tianzheng. At that time, she said that if she forced herself to be with someone she didn't like, she would live a miserable life.

She has been staying in the Rui Wang's Mansion for a long time, and she still hasn't developed a love for Yu Tianzheng after getting along with her for a long time?

Zhan Qi had the urge to ask her clearly, but after not seeing him for a long time, he didn't want to meet Du Xiaomeng, so he was unhappy for Yu Tianzheng.

He lowered his head to avoid Du Xiaomeng's angry gaze, and was silent for a while before asking, "Then do you have any other plans?" Ever wondered where you're going? ”

The topic suddenly took a sharp turn, and Du Xiaomeng's anger suddenly had no direction to vent. She unhappily withdrew the gaze that fell on Zhan Qi, lowered her eyes to the wine jar on the ground and said, "No, now it's a step at a time." ”

Zhan Qi thought for a while, raised his head and looked at Du Xiaomeng and said, "What I promised you before can still be done now, if you don't have other places to go, I can arrange for you to leave the capital and live in another place." ”

What did he promise? Du Xiaomeng thought about it for a while, and soon remembered that it was not that snowy night a long time ago, Zhan Qi once said to her: When you think clearly, you still feel that you have to go, and I will arrange for you to go at that time, and I will not let His Highness have another chance to pester you.

Is it time to go? Du Xiaomeng lowered her head and looked at her toes, without saying a word, she couldn't help but feel a trace of sourness in her heart.

Zhan Qi looked at Du Xiaomeng and waited for her to make a statement.

After a while, Du Xiaomeng raised her head and asked calmly, "Where are you going?" ”

Zhan Qi said: "There is a place called Fengyang Town in the south of the capital, and Uncle Yang's son-in-law's family has been operating a dyeing workshop in the town for several generations, and it is one of the largest families in the local area. Now the big boss of the dyeing workshop is Sister Yang's husband, Sister Yang and her husband are both kind-hearted people, and you will definitely be taken care of properly if you are sent there. ”

Du Xiaomeng listened to him quietly, then looked at him and asked, "Do you think I should also leave the capital and go elsewhere?" ”

Zhan Qi avoided her gaze and said, "Didn't you talk about leaving the General's Mansion and leaving the capital before?" Isn't that what you want it to be? ”

Du Xiaomeng was stunned, but she quickly smiled as if she was happy and said: "Yes, your house is not fun at all, and this place in the capital is also very boring, I have long wanted to leave here to see it somewhere else." ”

She stood up straight, patted the dust on the fox's fur, and said in a relaxed tone: "Since there is such a good place to go, it is best to leave early. ”

Zhan Qi lowered his head and looked at the wine altar and said to the empty altar mouth, "Okay." However, all the servants of the General's Mansion have been sent out, and only the old housekeeper and his wife are left to take care of them, and it is not suitable to keep guests. You go out and find a place to stay, and I'll come back to you when I've got things in order." ”

How could Du Xiaomeng not understand this more tactful eviction? She was just a "guest" in the General's Mansion, and this fact that had existed for a long time was said through Zhan Qi's mouth, and it was very unpleasant to hear it in her ears. But no matter how bad the heart is, as a guest, Du Xiaomeng can only reply as if nothing happened: "Everything is subject to the general's arrangement." Before leaving, I want to go to Si'en Garden to get back the items I kept in the house, I wonder if the general can allow me to go to Si'en Garden? ”

Zhan Qi waved his hand without raising his head and said, "Go ahead." After saying this concise word, he no longer paid attention to Du Xiaomeng and continued to work hard with the jar of wine in his hand.

Du Xiaomeng stood in place and looked at him for a while, then turned around and slowly walked up the stairs. After walking a few steps, she stopped and turned her head down and said: "Drinking too much wine is not good for your health, Old Man Zhan is in poor health, and now is the time when you need someone to take care of him, if you don't take care of it, forget it, don't collapse your body and affect your family, you have to take care of one more patient." ”

With that, she turned around again and walked up. This time, she didn't stop in her footsteps, and soon left the cellar and walked straight to Si'en Garden.

Hearing Du Xiaomeng's footsteps getting farther and farther, after the surroundings finally returned to calm, Zhan Qi slowly raised his head and looked at the end of the stairs, which was full of the bright light of the day, and the bright light was as dazzling as a fox fur on Du Xiaomeng's body, but no matter how dazzling the light was, it could not be reflected in the gloomy cellar. Looking at the bright scene at the other end of the stairs, Zhan Qi's heart was full of Du Xiaomeng's figure, and the lingering but ungraspable bits and pieces of the past made him lose or lose.
