Luo Xicheng didn't come to the new house, and Ding Ning didn't go to the study to find Luo Xicheng, the newlywed couple were like ordinary acquaintances. The difference is that Luo Xicheng would inquire about Ding Ning's news from Meng Li every day, eating and living, no matter how big or small. Although Meng Li didn't like Ding Ning's ignorance of his master, he still told Luo Xicheng all the things about Ding Ning without leaving a single detail.

Tonight is Luo Xicheng's last busy night, and tomorrow he will have a big gift delivered to Ding Ning. When he returned home late at night, as soon as Luo Xicheng arrived at the study, he asked his bookkeeper Qi Ming to go back to rest first, and then asked Meng Li to reply in front of him.

Luo Xicheng thought that Meng Li would understand why he was called over for questioning, but who knew that Meng Li had been standing by his side without saying a word. Luo Xicheng raised his head angrily and asked:

"Why don't you speak?"

"What does the master want Meng Li to say?" There was obviously a hint of reluctance in Meng Li's tone.

"What? Your lord, I can't call you now? Looks like you're going to go to the kitchen and start a fire, you've been with me for so long that you're going to have your temper in front of me? Luo Xicheng said unhappily.

"Master, it's not that Meng Li doesn't want to talk to you about Miss Wanting, it's that this Miss Wanting really doesn't care much about you. Today I sent pastries to the old lady, the old lady said that the pastries were delicious, asked if there were any more, sent some to each room, I sent each room, although Aunt Wei and Aunt Qiao have never stepped into their yard since they entered the door, but these two aunts have not kept inquiring about your news when they saw me going, and hoped that I would say good things for them in front of you. However, when I got to Miss Wanting's room, she just said 'thank you' and there was nothing left. It's a waste of time to care about what she eats, plays, and uses every day. ”

After Meng Li finished saying a long paragraph, although Luo Xicheng didn't feel good in his heart, he was also angry with Meng Li, and he stared at Meng Li harshly:

"Do you know what you just did wrong?"

"I shouldn't have failed to answer my lord's questions and complain a lot." Meng Li bit his lip and replied.

"Your fault is that you didn't treat Wanting as your housewife, and you haven't even changed your name. It seems that you didn't put your mistress first in your heart. Luo Xicheng taught.

"Meng Li knows that he is wrong, but Madame, she really ......"

Before Meng Li's words were finished, Luo Xicheng interrupted and said:

"Okay, let's talk about what Wanting did today."

Meng Li saw that his master was really indulgent to his wife, and he didn't want to say anything, so he coughed lightly and began to report Ding Ning's food, clothing, housing and transportation today. In fact, Ding Ning stayed in this courtyard, and the activities every day were almost the same, but Luo Xicheng was still willing to hear it, and he always felt that it was very beautiful to have the picture of Ding Ning doing these things in his mind. After Meng Li finished speaking, Luo Xicheng let Meng Li leave and rested on the couch in the study. In the past few days, the night has been very cold, Luo Xicheng fell asleep and didn't know when he caught a cold, and he was always woken up by his cough in the middle of every night. There were some big men around him, and no one sent him a cup of hot water, so he just drank two sips of the herbal tea on the table when he woke up.

Early the next morning, Mr. Qi Ming came to report the good news to Luo Xicheng, Ding Ning's little girl Huanxi had been brought back to the city, and Huanxi was all right, and she was not abused. Qi Ming said that his wife had brought Huanxi home to wash, change into clean clothes, eat something, and bring it into the house when it was ready.

Luo Xicheng was greatly relieved to hear this good news, he didn't want to affect the relationship between him and Ding Ning because of such a girl, as long as Huanxi got it back, that would be the happiest thing for him. Luo Xicheng had no intention of writing anymore, looking at the accounts, he put down the pen in his hand and walked to the door of the study to look around, and found that no one came, and walked to Qi Ming's side anxiously and said:

"Qi Ming, are you sure that Huanxi has arrived at your mansion safe and sound? You can't afford to make a mistake. ”

"I promise it's no problem, I personally brought Huanxi this girl to my house, and I personally handed it to my wife, and my wife will also take her to freshen up and change clothes, don't worry." Qi Ming replied.

Almost half an hour later, Mrs. Qi entered Luo's Mansion with joy and arrived at Luo Xicheng's study. Luo Xicheng saw that the stupid girl in front of him was no different from before, he believed Qi Ming's words, this girl was really fine, and she was not harmed by human traffickers. Luo Xicheng asked Huan Xi and said:

"I heard from my bookkeeper that you are a very loyal girl, and he said that he would buy you into the house to serve, let me ask you, is your loyalty true?"

"Naturally, I will do what the master tells me."

"I'm going to let you serve my newlywed, you might do well?"

"Huanxi will do my duty to take care of Madame, please rest assured."

"Okay, I'll take you to see my wife, my wife is the eldest lady of the Baili family in the north, named Baili Wanting. Since she is a young lady from a large family, you must not rush her at any time, you must be respectful, possibly? Luo Xicheng wanted to warn this girl in advance, lest this girl see Ding Ning calling the wrong person.

Huanxi lowered his head and didn't dare to look up at his master, but silently followed his master to a secluded but atmospheric courtyard.

When Cuilan saw Luo Xicheng entering the courtyard, she immediately ran into the room and asked Ding Ningdao:

"Madam, ma'am, the lord is here, and he is almost at the gate of the courtyard. It's time for you to go out and pick up the master. ”

Ding Ning immediately walked out of the door to the gate of the courtyard, and when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Ding Ning saw the girl behind Luo Xicheng before he had time to say hello to Luo Xicheng, Ding Ning hadn't seen her lovely joy for a few days, and she hadn't seen the joy of the heartless city for a long time, she saw Huanxi's ruddy face, and it seemed that Huanxi was in good condition recently. Scenes of the past of the Spring Pavilion surfaced in Ding Ning's mind, and those days and nights that accompanied her with joy warmed her like sunshine in her heart, and her tears slipped uncontrollably. Luo Xicheng saw Ding Ning crying for the first time, no matter how hard he was to Ding Ning, Ding Ning had never cried, but now he saw his little maid crying. Luo Xicheng took out his handkerchief and wiped Ding Ning's tears while saying:

"Madame, is this moved? Look, I bought a simple little girl to serve you. Madame is satisfied? ”

Ding Ning looked at Luo Xicheng, the tears in the corners of her eyes were still sliding uncontrollably, she pursed her lips, trying to suppress her crying, and nodded with a smile, this crying and laughing expression was so cute that Luo Xicheng's heart melted. Luo Xicheng said solemnly with joy:

"Don't raise your head yet, thank Madame for accepting you."

Huanxi raised her head, and the moment she looked up, Huanxi herself was also stunned, was it the lady of Luofu standing in front of her? Isn't this her Ding Ning girl? Huanxi was the last journey of his own girl who was personally sent, and he also personally watched his own girl being buried in the loess. But now, why did his own girl appear in front of him alive like this. Creation makes people, is it true that my own girl is not dead, she is really rescued? She didn't dare to shout with joy, she was afraid that she would shout the wrong person and extinguish the slightest expectation in her heart. Huanxi didn't dare to shout, but saluted:

"I'm glad I've seen Madame."

Ding Ning couldn't stop his tears when he heard this familiar voice, and Luo Xicheng said with half a threat when he saw this:

If Madame cries again, Xicheng can only let Mr. Bookkeeper take Huanxi out and sell it again. Madame cried when she saw that she was happy, and I was not happy. ”

Luo Xicheng's words were really useful, Ding Ning sobbed, and gradually stopped crying. Ding Ning came to his senses and looked at Huan Huan and said:

"Has Huanxi served in someone else's house?"

"Huanxi served in the Spring Pavilion, and then married to the Lin Mansion with the girl he served, the girl's life was thin, and she accidentally drowned on the day of the wedding, I was delicious on weekdays, because I was found by the housekeeper because of stealing food, and the housekeeper told the old lady in the house, and the old lady made the decision to sell me." Huanxi did not hide it, and replied one by one.

"Then you will serve in my garden from now on, there may be more rules here than you have stayed in before, you have to learn as soon as possible so that you will not suffer, you can be greedy in the future, but you must pay attention to moderation, and you must not lose the dignity of the garden." Ding Ning said seriously.

"Yes, ma'am." Joy responded.

"Cuilan, you take Huanxi to familiarize yourself with this garden, and by the way, arrange a place for her to live, I will eat here at noon, and you can also prepare it." Luo Xicheng saw that everything was going well, so he arranged.

After Cuilan and Huanxi left, Luo Xicheng motioned for Ding Ning to come into the house and speak. When the two came to the house, Ding Ning's red eyes actually made Luo Xicheng feel a little distressed, and Luo Xicheng said:

"Don't be too moved, I knew you might cry today, but I didn't expect you to cry so much."

After Luo Xicheng said this, he blamed himself again, wasn't he going to say words of relief, why did he change his taste again as soon as he opened his mouth. Luo Xicheng added:

"Don't think too much, I promised to let Huanxi be free, she is here with you now, it can be regarded as free, it's better than reaching out outside to ask for food."

"Thank you, Hee Cheng. Whether it's a promise between you and me or whether you're genuinely thinking about me, I'm grateful to you. I thought that I had completed the wedding with you, and you got the contract to join forces with the Baili family and would not care about me anymore, it turns out that you have been busy and happy these days. Ding Ning looked at Luo Xi and said sincerely.

"I don't care about you, where did you see that? It took me a lot of work to marry you, can I just let it go? What's more, you still have a lot to do in the future. Luo Xicheng said.

"Aunt Wei and Aunt Qiao came to greet me a few days ago, although they didn't deliberately mention it, but I can roughly know Xicheng's style of doing things from their conversations. I misunderstood you. Ding Ning replied. This is the first time that Ding Ning has not resisted Luo Xicheng so much, and it is also the first time that Ding Ning feels that the person in front of him may be different from what she understands. These warm things done by Luo Xicheng have gradually planted a small seed in her heart.

"They've been here? What else did I tell you? Luo Xicheng didn't want Ding Ning to know about the existence of these two people, and he didn't want her to get involved in the Luo family's miscellaneous affairs.

"It's just that when the housewife enters the door, the concubine comes to visit. They also brought some jewelry, which I kept in the cupboard. In return, I gave them the two pairs of jade bracelets you bought for me. Also, you are not there, I have already visited the ancestral tablet, although the marriage of you and me is fake, but others don't know, if we don't visit the ancestral tablet, it will be a joke. I take it upon myself to hope that Xicheng will not be blamed. ”

Luo Xicheng thought that Ding Ning really didn't care about him as Meng Li said, but it didn't seem to be the case from these words. Although Ding Ning didn't inquire about him on his lips, he was worried about him in his heart, whether it was decent or the affairs in the house, Ding Ning handled them one by one properly, and did not cause him any trouble.

Luo Xicheng, who was very happy in his heart, smiled lightly:

"I don't blame you, you think so much about me, shouldn't I reward you? After a few days of free time, I will take you to Pudu Temple to pray for blessings, and by the way, I will take you to see the scenery of mountains and rivers. ”

Ding Ning didn't speak, just looked at Luo Xicheng and smiled gratefully.

Ding Ning's smile made Luo Xicheng's heart flush with warmth, and Luo Xicheng's heart was inexplicably hot, and he couldn't help but reach out to Ding Ning's slender waist. The strange thing is that this time, although Ding Ning was blushing, he and Luo Xicheng looked at each other, and they both understood each other's affection at the moment, Ding Ning had no intention of resisting, and the distance between the two was getting closer and closer......
