In the morning, Ding Ning woke up in Luo Xicheng's arms. Ding Ning tried to break free from Luo Xicheng's arms with gentle movements, but Luo Xicheng seemed to feel it, and tightened his wrist to trap Ding Ning in his arms. Ding Ning's fawn heart drove her not to move any more.

Ding Ning blinked his eyes still, his flustered heart not knowing what to do. At this time, a thought flashed through Ding Ning's mind - use.

Ding Ning thought to herself, Luo Xicheng is the master to her, but isn't Luo Xicheng also a springboard for her to get rid of the Spring Pavilion? Wouldn't it be better if she could make good use of Luo Xicheng and get the freedom she wanted without Luo Xicheng hating her! I don't have to rack my brains all day and night, and I only promise to maintain the master-servant relationship between the two. Ding Ning thought so and quietly closed her eyes again, she wanted to see Luo Xicheng's reaction when she woke up in her sleep.

Luo Xicheng woke up before Ding Ning was about to fall asleep again. When he opened his eyes, he found that he didn't know when he had embraced Ding Ning into his arms. He didn't have time to think too much, but first carefully observed whether Ding Ning was still asleep. Luo Xicheng looked at the girl in front of him who was making an even breathing sound, and he was sure that she was asleep. Luo Xicheng was not in a hurry to get up, and since he was sure that Ding Ning was still asleep, he asked her to continue to sleep on his arm. Ding Ning's sleep is very shallow, Luo Xicheng is afraid that he will wake up Ding Ning if he doesn't pay attention to himself, such a holding posture, it is safer to wait for Ding Ning to wake up first and see it. Luo Xicheng made a decision like this, and kept his eyes on it all his life.

Ding Ning felt that Luo Xicheng twitched slightly, and after the arm that was pressed by her, he didn't move. She knew that Luo Xicheng woke up, but she didn't get up. Is this Luo Xicheng afraid that the action will be too big to wake her up? Ding Ning thought to himself. If this is the case, then Luo Xicheng at least doesn't hate her. She could try to be friends with him, and he should be her friend too.

Luo Xicheng closed his eyes and quietly thought about everything when he was half-asleep and half-awake last night. Ding Ning is such a defensive person, how could she not wake up and push him away when his hand reached under her head? Luo Xicheng thought of this, and all he could conclude was that Ding Ning didn't dislike him, and his sense of distance from him might just be shy. Luo Xicheng couldn't help but laugh happily when he thought of this.

Ding Ning heard Luo Xicheng's sometimes light and heavy breathing, and felt that something was wrong, and opened his eyes. This is Luo Xicheng still forced his eyes closed. Seeing this, Ding Ning asked tentatively:

"Are you awake?"

Luo Xicheng only reacted when he heard the sound, although he didn't make a sound, the sound of his breath might also wake up Ding Ning. Thinking of this, Luo Xicheng was happy again, because it can be seen that she really slept soundly by his side last night, and she was willing to sleep on his arm.

Luo Xicheng also opened his eyes and looked at Ding Ning, although Ding Ning had been mentally prepared, he still looked at the person in front of him in a daze. Luo Xicheng looked at Ding Ning's cheeks crimson and stunned, and said with a light smile:

"When you wake up, you don't dare to move for fear of being frightened."

Ding Ning got up to dress, Luo Xicheng didn't move for a long time, Ding Ning saw that he didn't get up for a long time, so he put on his dress and walked to the side of the bed and asked:

"Hee Cheng is not feeling well?"

"Hand numbness." Luo Xicheng said lazily.

Seeing this, Ding Ning felt angry in his heart, so he boldly took a step forward, sat down on the edge of the bed, and rubbed Luo Xicheng's arm with him, and said:

"It's me who is not good, I was a person who woke up, and I fell asleep like this last night, and I didn't know that I was pressing your arm."

The distance between Luo Xicheng and Ding Ning is not far or close, just enough to create an ambiguous atmosphere. Luo Xicheng had an urge to hug Ding Ning. But Ding Ning grasped it very well, and just when Luo Xicheng was about to take her into his arms, she stood upright and asked:

"Better?"

Luo Xicheng had never seen Ding Ning's tender eyes, and he was surprised by the change in this woman overnight. With a smile in his eyes and a raised expression on the corners of his mouth, Luo Xicheng was stunned for most of the time before he came back to his senses and got dressed. Luo Xicheng replied as he got up:

"It's better, you have to call me husband in the future, otherwise it won't be in order. Whenever it is just the two of us, we have to call the husband. ”

"I'm going to call Huanxi to fetch water to wash my husband's face, Cuilan must have prepared breakfast at this time." Ding Ning replied naturally.

Luo Xicheng was stunned again, Ding Ning in front of him no longer kept his distance from him all the time like before, this kind of Ding Ning made him feel flattered.

Luo Xicheng finished washing, and Ding Ning had breakfast together and said goodbye, Ding Ning kept sending him to the gate of the courtyard, Luo Xicheng turned to look at Ding Ning, with a smile, he told Ding Ning that he was still here to rest tonight, and every day in the future, as long as he was in this city, he would come to live in this garden. Ding Ning didn't say anything, just replied with a smile, telling Luo Xicheng that she would prepare dinner and wait for Luo Xicheng.

Ding Ning and Luo Xicheng only saw the ambiguous interaction, Cuilan saw it in her eyes, and she was anxious in her heart. She was secretly anxious about her master, and now Ding Ning is nominally Luo Xicheng's wife, which is closer to the water than his son-in-law. Cuilan is a reasonable person, no matter who Ding Ning is with, she will not have any opinion on Ding Ning, but she hopes that her master can get Ding Ning. Cuilan was thoughtful as she walked, and she almost hit the closed door as she walked. Ding Ning hurriedly pulled a handful and said:

"What's on Cuilan's mind? Why did you get distracted in the morning? ”

Cuilan hurriedly shook her head and said:

"No, no, it's Cuilan who accidentally got up too early and dozed off."

Cuilan didn't dare to ask what she was thinking and worried about in Huanxi, she could only play sloppy. Cuilan waited for the opportunity to ask Ding Ning some questions all day, until in the afternoon, after Meng Li sent Ding Ning the things that Ding Ning wanted him to buy, she sent Meng Li out, and saw Huanxi's girl dozing off against the doorrail, she turned her mind, ran forward and patted Huanxi's shoulder and said:

"Joy, you go and rest, Madame, I have me here. Don't worry, if Madame asks about you, I'll say you go and prepare the pastries, and when you wake up, you will go to the kitchenette and bring me the pastries I have made. ”

Huanxi somehow had a sleepless night last night, and now she dozed off, and when she heard Cuilan say this, she was so happy that she couldn't do it, and she ran back to the house to sleep happily. After making sure that Huanxi had entered the house, Cuilan walked to Ding Ning with tea and said:

"Madame, how was it okay to rest last night? Can you have ...... There can be ......"

Although preparations had been made, Cuilan still had no way to ask. Ding Ning saw Cuilan's embarrassed look and knew what she was going to ask, Ding Ning replied:

"The lord has been very good to me and has never been rude. Is Cuilan worried about her son-in-law? ”

Cuilan didn't expect Ding Ning to throw the question so directly, she stared at Ding Ning. Ding Ning looked at Cuilan and said:

"I can naturally see and understand Lu Mo's intentions. He kept you with me so that you could take care of me and protect me, and I know that. But I can't respond to anything from your son-in-law. He is like a bright star in the sky in my heart, clean and beautiful. But he's so beautiful that it's out of reach. All I want now is to be able to live freely, without any constraints. Only Luo Xicheng can give me these. If you are willing to help me, then we will continue to work hard in this Luo Mansion, and if you are guarding me just so that I can keep me for your son-in-law, then you can go back to him. ”

Ding Ning's words were straightforward, and Cuilan also understood them thoroughly. Tsui Lan Road:

"My son-in-law is kind to me, and I naturally want to guard his beloved things for him. But I also understand my son-in-law, he wants to marry you one day, but he wants you to get what you want. I will always be by your side to take care of you for my son-in-law, and if one day when you are free to live, you will marry my son-in-law, I will go back to the palace with you; If you don't want to marry, I will always guard you, I think my son-in-law wants you to do what you want, and I don't ask you to reluctantly be with him. I'll help you. ”

"Lu Mo has you as a blessing in this life. I will cherish it for him. Ding Ning said with a smile, and then took out a small box from his hand and handed it to Cuilan. Cuilan looked at Cuilan in surprise, and immediately pushed to:

"Madame, what is this going to do, Cuilan's words are from the bottom of her heart, and she is not vain, why should Madame be like this!"

"Accept, this is what I promised you, I am inconvenient to leave the house now, I asked Meng to leave to buy it. I thought that you might have to go back to the Guanfu today, but I gave it to you to fulfill my wish. Now that you are willing to stay, I will give it to you. Take it. Ding Ning handed the small box into Cuilan's palm and said with a smile.

"Cuilan, thank you, ma'am."

Cuilan accepted the gift from Ding Ning, quietly opened the box and played with the Zhu Hai inside, Ding Ning saw that Cuilan liked it very much, and she was very happy in her heart. Cuilan put the gift she received into her sleeve, and tested the temperature of the teacup with her hand:

"The tea is cold, I'll go change it for my wife."

Saying that, Cuilan went out with a teacup, and by the way, she put the Zhu Hai she received back to the hut where she lived with Huanxi. Huanxi was still asleep at this time, and the shouting was so loud that Cuilan hurriedly closed the door to prevent disturbing Ding Ning.

At dinner time, Luo Xicheng appeared in the garden of the wedding room on time. He smiled as soon as he entered the garden, because he saw Ding Ning standing at the door of the room waiting for him. Luo Xicheng suddenly had a sense of "home". It was the first time in years that he felt good to have a home. Luo Xicheng walked into Ding Ning Road:

"Come in, you don't have to follow the rules in the future, and if I come tonight, aren't you going to stand here all the time?"

"Waiting for my husband is naturally my business, if this matter is also exempted, I'm afraid I don't have anything important to do this day." Ding Ning said.

Ding Ning's tender words almost softened Luo Xicheng's heart, he smiled, he thought that Ding Ning thought the same as he thought, to change the way the two get along, no longer so embarrassing and uncomfortable. Luo Xicheng felt very happy when he thought of this, and he said:

"In the past few days, I have discussed some business matters with my father-in-law, and most of the things have been decided, and he will leave in a few days, do you want to go with me to say goodbye? Of course, it's okay for me to deliver it myself. ”

"I'll go with my husband!" Ding Ning replied while taking the soup.

After dinner, everyone around him retreated, leaving only Luo Xicheng and Ding Ning in the house. Ding Ning knew that Luo Xicheng had always wanted to invite her to play chess, so he took the initiative to speak:

"If the husband is not sleepy, can the concubine be lucky enough to invite the husband to play a game of chess?"

Where could Luo Xicheng accept such an invitation, he couldn't ask for it, so he naturally happily agreed to take advantage of Ding Ning's lack of regrets.

The battle between the two black and white chess pieces lasted until late at night, and Luo Xicheng, who had lost two games in a row, asked unhappily:

"Madame, is this a leap forward in chess, or did you deliberately lose to me in the past?"

"It was intentional before, but it's true now." Ding Ning repacked the chessboard and laid out the game of chess between her and Luo Xicheng in the past.

Ding Ning knew that Luo Xicheng was watching her set up the chessboard, Ding Ning took the last step, raised the chess piece in his hand to signal Luo Xicheng's attention, and then steadily landed the chess piece on the chessboard. Luo Xicheng was even more angry when he saw Ding Ning's position in chess, it turned out that the final decisive step was that Ding Ning gave up himself, not that Luo Xicheng really won.

"You're teasing me like that?" Luo Xicheng said angrily and got up.

"The concubine just wants her husband to understand that the concubine is willing to be sincere from now on." Ding Ning also got up and replied.

Luo Xicheng frowned and turned to look at Ding Ning, the sincerity and kindness in Ding Ning's eyes made Luo Xicheng really believe her, and returned to the chessboard and sat down and asked:

"Then the lady may write poems with me and talk to me from the heart?"

"It's good that my husband doesn't bother me." Ding Ning replied with a smile.

Luo Xicheng chuckled, looked at Ding Ning and said:

"You're doing that!"

Ding Ning smiled and answered:

"It's late at night, let's rest, the coming day is long, my husband has always been powerful, maybe I will lose tomorrow."

Luo Xicheng stretched out his hand and pulled Ding Ning towards the inner room together.
