After Xue Zhen left, Li Yuejiao leaned on the edge of the bed and sat in a daze.

Although her heart is still chaotic now, now that she has made it clear to Xue Zhen, the feeling of grievance is much lighter, so her mood is also better.

Not long after, Yun Tuan came in with a plate of dim sum, and saw that the curtain in front of Li Yuejiao's bed had been hung up, a handful of green silk hung down, sitting in a daze, his hand still gently rubbing the embroidery on the quilt, and his expression could not see joy and anger.

She sighed, walked over, put the plate of snacks on the small table beside her, and said softly:

"Miss, what's wrong? Be...... Is it the son of the world that he bullied you again?"

Li Yuejiao didn't look at her, but still looked down at the embroidery on the quilt and muttered:

"I'm just not combing my hair."

"Huh? What?" The clouds didn't understand.

"I opened the tent, but I didn't comb my hair." Li Yuejiao suddenly became unhappy again, "Really, I forgot about it."

Yuntuan didn't expect Li Yuejiao to be entangled with this, so she couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Li Yuejiao glanced at her unhappily:

"What's so funny? I slept for three days, unkempt."

"Where," Yun Tuan smiled and comforted her, "Miss is so good-looking."

"Coax me." Li Yuejiao muttered, grabbed her long hair in front of her, and gently smoothed it.

"No, Miss has always been good-looking." Yun Tuan said with a smile.

Li Yuejiao pouted, and after thinking about it again, forget it, what does it have to do with Xue Zhen if she is good-looking or not?

She cheered up, threw her cranky thoughts on scratching her head, and said to Yun Tuan with a smile:

"Yuntuan, you have worked hard these days, take them to sort out the things in the treasury of the house, don't move the things sent by the prince, you can take out more of the things I have saved in the past few days and load them in the car, and when the weather is warmer in a few days, when the senior sister and the sixth brother return to Beijing, I can bring them back."

When she said this, Qin Le happened to enter the door, and when she heard her say this, he stepped over the door frame and asked:

"What? Why is it me and Brother Zheng? Don't you want to go back again?"

When Li Yuejiao saw her coming in, she threw her hair behind her back, picked out a piece of butterfly cake, ate half of it, and said:

"Yes, not going back. I figured it out, and now that I go back, I'll be reluctant for the rest of my life."

Qin Le looked at her and suddenly had a glowing look in her eyes, and his intuition was related to Xue Zhen again.

Really, although she doesn't say it, since she knew the marriage contract until today, her joys, sorrows and sorrows are always related to Xue Zhen.

Qin Le's face sank, but he endured his temper, turned around and closed the door, walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, stared at her eyes, and asked solemnly:

"Jiaojiao, you tell me clearly, what is the matter between you and him? Why are you so sick now?"

Li Yuejiao heard the unhappiness in her tone, couldn't help sighing, took Qin Le's hand, put on a coquettish appearance, and said with a smile:

"Senior sister, comb my hair."

didn't answer her question directly, Qin Le couldn't tell for a while whether she was deliberately avoiding it, or something else, and glanced at her sleeplessly.

However, she still got up and took the makeup, asked her to turn around, and began to comb her hair, but she still insisted:

"Li Yuejiao, don't think about fooling me, tell me well, what's going on?"

Calling her by name is obviously on the verge of anger.

However, Li Yuejiao didn't want to hide it from her, she just needed to think about how to say Du Tian's affairs, so that Qin Le and Yun Tuan in the room would not faint in fright.

just thought about it, and when she really told the hermit's mother and the old marquis, Yun Tuan was already frightened and fell on the stool; And Qin Le became even more frightened the more he listened, and the hand that combed Li Yuejiao's hair was wrong, and he almost pulled out a few strands of Li Yuejiao's hair.

"Ouch." Li Yuejiao exclaimed in surprise and raised her hand to rub her head.

Fortunately, her hair is dense and thick, so she didn't

It's really gone.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Qin Le hurriedly rubbed her head, and suppressed his voice apologetically and panicked, "How can this be? How so? Jiaojiao, what are you still doing here? It's too dangerous, no, you might as well go back to Beijing with me."

Li Yuejiao sat quietly and said resolutely:

"No, senior sister, I must stay here, he framed my father for killing the king, and he wanted to kill the sixth brother in order to kill people, one by one, almost a blood feud, how could I let him go? Even if I can't do anything, I'm going to have to watch it and have a result."

Qin Le didn't dare to agree at all, and insisted on persuading her:

"But Jiaojiao, your life is the most important thing, now that Shigong and Brother Zheng are fine, then this matter is the family affair of the Xue family, one of them is a prince's family, and the other is a scholarly family, what does it have to do with you? Didn't Xue Zhen look down on your background before? With the filthy things of their family now, do you still want to let you be a craftsman and a businesswoman?"

Li Yuejiao opened her mouth when she heard her say this, wanting to say that Xue Zhen did not look down on her background, but it was really a misunderstanding.

It's just that she is now so angry when she sees Qin Le, and she wants to explain the matter, even about her mother and the suspicious case, so she still gives up in the end.

"It's okay," Li Yuejiao said patiently and resolutely, "Lord Xiaohui has always treated me very well, and the previous incident was that Xue Zhen saved my father, I should remember."

Qin Le suddenly became completely unhappy, and said angrily:

"This is boring, Jiaojiao, don't forget, if it weren't for him, how could Shigong be involved in this matter?"

The more she talked, the more she hated iron and steel, and her subordinates kept combing her hair, babbling:

"Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao, when you married him, for the sake of his reputation, you didn't even care about the Karakura Pavilion, and now for him, don't you even want your own life?"

"Senior sister," Li Yuejiao hurriedly comforted her, "I didn't, and I'll be fine."

Qin Le couldn't persuade her, so he didn't speak at first, only pulled her hair, and then used a hosta hairpin, and then forcibly pulled her shoulders, made her turn to look at herself, and said angrily:

"There will be nothing going on, there will be nothing going on, will you be fine, or will Xue Zhen be fine? If it really won't be fine, why was the person who Du Yan used to kill the king in the first place to be the master and not the county lord? Hmph, Xue Zhen is really a scourge spirit, why does he always come to harm you?"

Li Yuejiao knew that Qin Le was worried about her, so she was moved in her heart, held her hand, and explained to her calmly again:

"Senior sister, I didn't do this because of him, but because of myself, I'm really unwilling."

"You—"

Qin Le wanted to say something more, but Li Yuejiao interrupted her words first, and said softly:

"Senior sister, listen to me first. I admit that I really had a ...... to Xue Zhen before."

She was dull for a moment, and finally admitted that she had been in the mood to admit it:

"I have a heart for Xue Zhen."

After the word Xinyue came out, Li Yuejiao suddenly felt that the world in her heart was much wider.

Yes, she just liked him, from the first time she saw him when she was a child, she liked him.

It's just that it was already the past, maybe she still has worries in her heart, and she is still unwilling, so she has a faint grievance now, but when she admitted it, Li Yuejiao felt that she could really attribute the emotions in her heart to the past.

There will be no more him in the future.

Qin Le looked at her in a daze, still wanting to persuade her, but Li Yuejiao continued:

"But senior sister, now I won't, I said before, I want to reconcile with the world, this intention remains unchanged to this day. But even if I'm destined to part ways with him, I'll still have to take care of today's affairs.

"So senior sister, you must believe me, I want to take care of this matter for the sake of my heart, no matter what it is, no matter how righteous the reason, from the day Du Sun dragged my father into the sewage, he and I have been mortal enemies, I can't escape, I can't escape, I don't want to escape."

She spoke directly and resolutely, and then looked at Qin Le with a determined gaze.

Qin Le met her gaze, how much anger, how much he wanted to persuade, in the end, he was still melted by her gaze, turned into a sigh, and said helplessly:

"Well, it looks like I can't convince you."

Li Yuejiao smiled lightly: "Senior sister understands me, it's the best."

Qin Le cut off, but still said:

"Okay, I understand you, so don't worry, I will take care of my ancestor and my master after I return to Beijing, but you also have to remember that you want to see what the result is for him, but don't step forward yourself, okay?" Xue Zhen is tall, the sky is falling and let him hold it, your relatives are all in the capital, waiting for you to come back safely."

Li Yuejiao laughed lightly at her, solemnly, and nodded:

"Okay, senior sister, don't worry, I will definitely go home safely."

"Alas," Qin Le sighed, "Since you don't go back, it's easy for me and Brother Zheng to go, and you don't have to worry too much, just prepare the things you want to bring."

"Don't, you just leave like this, I'm not at ease," Li Yuejiao said, "I will ask the prince to send some people to send you back to Beijing, you don't have to leave so early, those old craftsmen have to leave me, I still have some drawings of farm tools here, senior sister help me take a look."

"Okay."

"Senior sister and sixth brother, wait until after the second day of February before leaving, it's warmer, before leaving, senior sister will accompany me to Tuntian to have a look, okay?" Li Yuejiao asked with a smile.

Qin Le nodded her nose, and said doting and helplessly:

"Okay, it's up to you. Let's rest again, just wake up, just worry about these hearts, and see if your face is bad."

"Hmm." Li Yuejiao obediently leaned on the side of the bed and watched Qin Le go out, but still did not lie down, but took out her mother's codex and began to look through it again.

It was easy to calm down a little until the clouds came over, and said in a low voice, "Miss Qin is right, Miss's face is really not good, let's rest again."

"No, it's easy to comb your hair," she said, eating another snack, looking at the clouds, and asking, "Are you scared, clouds?"

Yun Tuan's eyes turned red, and he nodded honestly: "Yes, Miss, the slave is not worried about himself, but about Miss, it's too scary."

"Yes," Li Yuejiao took her hand and asked her to sit down, sat down herself, leaned on her body, and murmured, "My mother must have been involved in this matter at the beginning, she didn't know anything, but she was like a marionette. Yuntuan, in fact, I stayed, not only because of recent events, but also because the more I knew, the more I suspected that my mother's death was also man-made."

"Huh? How did the young lady know?" Yun Tuan was surprised and asked, "Is there any evidence?"

Li Yuejiao's forehead rested on her shoulder and shook her head slightly: "No, but I think it's like that."

Sanniang said that according to the content of the letter from the old marquis, the day of the explosion is different from the one set.

At that time, she wondered if the changes in this day would have something to do with her mother.

And later, when she learned that the first prince had a conflict with the old marquis because of the old marquis's plan with Mr. Lu, the suspicion in her heart deepened.

The mother must have been involved in it, whether unintentionally or intentionally, she must have known the purpose of Chen Guo and Shan Yetang, and then did something, such as telling the first son.

She didn't believe that her mother would communicate with foreign countries before, and if she was right now, then whether her mother was sad because she couldn't prevent the explosion, or because she was found out by the old marquis and Du Tian, her death in childbirth was her blood feud with those people.

"Miss......" Yun Tuan hugged Li Yuejiao, but still cried in the end, "How can this be? Why is Miss so miserable......

Li Yuejiao also wanted to cry, but she still endured it and didn't cry.

"Yuntuan, you know everything, my business, you know everything," she murmured, "I will only have you in the future, you must accompany me, accompany me......

"Okay, Miss, I'm here, I'll accompany Miss, no matter what, I won't betray Miss and leave Miss

。」 Yun Tuan cried even harder, choked and said firmly.

The day when Qin Le and Zheng Xiaoxi returned to Beijing was set for the fourth day of the first month of February, and the old craftsmen brought by Qin Le before were all left by Li Yuejiao and continued to operate the Karakuri Pavilion she opened in Anhua County, and according to the drawings that Li Yuejiao and Qin Lexin pondered, they made farm tools for those tun people.

Now is the time for spring planting, and the demand for farm tools on the tuntian is great, but the ready-made farm tools in Anhua County are insufficient, and they are quite old, and the ploughing cattle are even more insufficient.

Therefore, before that, Xue Zhen asked Li Yuejiao about it, and Li Yuejiao also designed a lot of new farm tools according to local conditions according to the local situation and the ideas in her mother's codex, and first made some of them, and handed them over to the Zhao lady on Tuntian for trial.

Therefore, at the end of the first month, when Li Yuejiao went to the tuntian, the people saw her, and the enthusiasm and reverence in their eyes became stronger.

When Li Yuejiao heard them ask, she knew that the effect was good, and when Zhao Niangzi heard that she was coming, she also hurriedly ran over and said with a smile:

"The farm tools that Madame and Mrs. Qin gave me are really very useful."

Li Yuejiao smiled and asked her, "Lady Zhao, is there really nothing inconvenient about those farm tools?"

Zhao Niangzi immediately shook her head and said:

"I'm using it perfectly. Madame also knows that we are all new here, and there are not many ploughing cattle, and the farming tools given by Madame can be easily used by women like me and children, but it is slower than ploughing oxen, and it is not very tiring to use, and it is easy to repair, which is really excellent."

When she said a word, the surrounding tun people echoed it, and in the end, they all looked at Li Yuejiao with blank eyes.

When Li Yuejiao heard this, she didn't doubt it anymore, nodded and said, "That's fine, don't worry, I'll let the craftsmen start doing it today, and keep it so as not to delay your spring planting."

In this way, in the next few days, she and Qin Le walked several tuntian, in addition to seeing if the water conservancy was used, they also distributed new farm tools.

The people immediately smiled, and thanked Li Yuejiao and Dade one after another.

Until the fourth day of the second lunar month, Qin Le and Zheng Xiaoxi were well prepared and were going back.

*

The spring in northern Xinjiang is not as good as the capital, warm early, full of spring, a hundred flowers blooming, Anhua City is still very cold now, and it is always windy, even the newly budding willow trees are more shriveled than those in the capital.

But fortunately, on this day in Qin, not only was the weather clear, but there was no wind, so it was really a good day to travel.

Li Yuejiao prepared three donkey carts for them, two of which were the Northern Frontier Tuyi that Li Yuejiao wanted to send home, and Xue Zhen also arranged twelve people, led by General Wenlong, to ensure that they were sent back to the capital safely.

Originally, Li Yuejiao saw that it was Xue Zhen's deputy general who personally escorted her, and she felt that she was making a big fuss, but Xue Zhen was very busy these days, so she couldn't see Xue Zhen, so she could only ask Wenlong carefully:

"General Wen, is this ...... Not so good? My six brothers are safe now."

Wen Long arched his hand and said, "Madam, the general said, one is that there are still Chen Guoliu soldiers in the north now, and the other is that the people behind the assassination of Zheng Langjun have not been caught, how can it be said that it is safe?" The three Qin girls are the heroes of the water conservancy repair for the northern Tuntian, how can they be neglected? Madame can rest assured that the last general will inevitably send people back to the capital safely."

When Li Yuejiao heard him say this, she put her mind at ease and said with a smile: "In that case, I will thank the general. When the general returns, I will not only thank him again, but also give him a banquet."

"Madame laughed, the duty of the last general." Wenlong Road.

In this way, Li Yuejiao sat in a sheep cart and sent the convoy out for more than ten miles, before Qin Le's insistence reluctantly stopped and watched them leave.

It wasn't until the convoy was no longer visible that Yun Tuan said:

"Miss, let's go back."

Li Yuejiao's eyes were still on the official road where there was no one, and she said "um" before letting Hu Rong drive back.

On the way back, she sat on the side of the car and watched the rare windless spring in northern Xinjiang.

The warm sun and thin clouds in the sky and the vigorous weeds on the roadside all have a different wild beauty that belongs to Anhua County.

"That's good."

"What did Miss say?" Yun Tuan was afraid that Li Yuejiao would be cold, so he asked while putting warm gloves on for her.

"It's so beautiful here." Li Yuejiao smiled and said, "I'm in a good mood."

Yun Tuan also smiled: "Yes, it's just that I haven't seen many flowers, and it's still not the same as the capital."

While the two were talking, suddenly two people rode horses, and they went from the southeast direction to the direction of Anhua City.

Li Yuejiao didn't pay attention to them, but after the two horses passed by her sheep cart, they stopped in front of them, and one of them turned around and looked at Li Yuejiao sitting in front of the car, and called out in surprise:

"Mrs. Lee?"

Li Yuejiao followed the sound and looked at it, and only then did she recognize that the person riding the horse turned out to be Chu Zhi.

She was busy leaning over, and said with a smile on her chin:

"It turned out to be Chu Shilang, I didn't recognize it, and it was rude."
