"That's good," Bai Hibiscus breathed a sigh of relief and said embarrassedly, "It's that I've thought too much, and according to your minds, you should have known this a long time ago." ”

"What is this, if you are willing to mention us, I am naturally grateful," Cheng Shuiyao affectionately stopped Bai Furong's shoulder, and there was a faint reluctance in her eyes.

White Fleur was the first friend she had since she arrived, and she helped their family through the difficult situation at the beginning.

"What do we say thank you or not," Bai Furong waved her hand, but her expression was a little stunned.

She knew what Cheng Shuiyao would face after returning to the capital, so she felt very sorry for Cheng Shuiyao, but this was something that Cheng Shuiyao had to face, so even if she was reluctant, she couldn't open her mouth to stop half a point.

"If you need it, you can use this," Bai Furong suddenly untied half of the white jade from her neck and handed it to Cheng Shuiyao, "This piece of jade can order our Bai family's secret guards to stay in the capital, and it may be able to save your life at a critical moment." ”

"How does this work?" Cheng Shuiyao knew the role of this jade, and hurriedly excused herself, "This is your family's last hole card, how can I use it?" ”

"What hole cards don't have hole cards," Bai Furong firmly stuffed the jade back into Cheng Shuiyao's hand, and said with a serious face, "Our Bai family has been away from the capital for a long time, and we have no chance to go back in this life, and this jade has no effect if it remains in my hands, it is better to take it out to protect you, and it can be regarded as a gift from me." ”

This......

Cheng Shuiyao saw her resolute expression, and knew that there was no room for resigning, so she could only put the jade away carefully.

"Since you have made a decision, let's go down this path," Bai Furong saw that she had accepted this piece of jade, so she raised a smile, "You and Xiao Ji are not ordinary people, and you will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune." ”

Cheng Shuiyao nodded, her tone choked, "Thank you, Mrs. Bai." ”

Bai Furong was so excited by her, and her eyes were also shining, but she stubbornly didn't let the tears fall.

"Let's go, don't look back," Bai Furong pushed Cheng Shuiyao hard, and then turned around resolutely, without the slightest hesitation.

Cheng Shuiyao knew that she was afraid that she would hesitate, so she immediately wiped away her tears, nodded heavily, and walked forward.

With her back to Cheng Shuiyao, Bai Furong's eyes were full of tears at this time, and after several suppressions, she couldn't hold back after all, and let the tears flow down.

Cheng Shuiyao walked back to the inn alone, reminiscing a lot on the way, and finally gathered her thoughts when she stepped into the door of the inn.

The past should always be cherished in memory, and the most important thing for the present is to look forward.

Reaching out to wipe away the half-dried tears on her face, Cheng Shuiyao raised a smile and returned to her previous state.

On the other side, Xiao Ji stood on the city wall with his hands in his hands, looking at the people coming and going below, with no emotion on his face.

"That's it," Mo Shu slowly approached, and lowered his voice to speak, "We won't leak the slightest rumor about going out of the city, and if someone wants to investigate, it will definitely be one step behind us." ”

"Hmm," Xiao Ji nodded, and his tone was not half wavering.

"Also, the capital said that the person doesn't seem to be in good health recently," Moshu was not affected by Xiao Ji's cold response in the slightest, and hurriedly told Xiao Ji the news he had just received.

"Not well?" Xiao Ji's stiff face finally changed a little, raised his eyebrows with interest, and slowly turned to look at Moshu.

"Someone should have done it," Mo Shu knew what he wanted to hear, and hurriedly added.

"Can't you wait for such a short time?" Xiao Ji sneered and looked down at Moshu, "Pass on my order, and then focus on monitoring the palace, especially the emperor's food and clothing, and you must report to me in detail." ”

"Yes," Moshu bowed his head and hurried down to convey Xiao Ji's order.

"After all, I can't rest for a moment," Xiao Ji sighed, then left the city wall and turned back to the inn again.

In the inn, Cheng Shuiyao made a good meal and was eating with Xie Yin and a few others.

Xiao Ji pushed the door in, and saw such a warm scene, and his stiff eyebrows couldn't help but relax a little.

"Why did you come back so late?" Xie Yin, who was facing the door, saw Xiao Ji at a glance and hurriedly beckoned him to come over for dinner.

"There are some things delayed today," Xiao Ji smiled slightly and sat down in the vacated seat.

"Brother, eat these ribs," Ruxue looked up with a small face and grinned and put a piece of ribs in Xiao Ji's bowl, "The ribs made by sister-in-law today are delicious." ”

"Really?" Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows slightly and took a bite as he said.

"How?" Cheng Shuiyao said expectantly.

"What you make is naturally delicious," Xiao Ji looked at Cheng Shuiyao's sparkling eyes and said with a smile.

"It's so perfunctory," Zijie said silently, looking at Xiao Ji with some disgust, "Brother, can't you be serious?" ”

Suddenly despised by a child who was not as tall as his legs, Xiao Ji's face instantly darkened, and he said word by word, "Xiao!" Child! Jay! ”

"Sister-in-law save me," Zijie saw that things were not good, so he hid directly in Cheng Shuiyao's arms and directly pinched Xiao Ji's lifeline.

"What are you angry with him?" Cheng Shuiyao was a little helpless, looking at Xiao Ji, who was quite childish, "Okay, let's eat." ”

Xiao Ji rolled his eyes, glared at Zijie again, and then began to bow his head to eat.

Xie Yin watched all this from the sidelines, feeling a little relieved.

Xiao Ji, the child, was always cold before, although he knew the etiquette, but he was somewhat missing, but after meeting Cheng Shuiyao, Xiao Ji became a lot more normal, not as close as before.

All of his changes are due to Cheng Shuiyao.

Xie Yin looked at Cheng Shuiyao with a smile, and the more she looked, the more she felt that this daughter-in-law was particularly pleasing to the eye, and she felt that she had picked up a treasure.

"Mother, what are you staring at me?" Cheng Shuiyao thought that there was something on his face, and hurriedly spoke.

"It's okay," Xie Yin noticed that he was out of shape, and quickly shook his head, "I just think you two are a good match." ”

Yes?

Cheng Shuiyao didn't know how Xie Yin thought of this in a good way, and her face instantly turned red.

"Mother, it's not like you don't know that Yao'er is thin-skinned." Xiao Ji glanced at Xie Yin helplessly, and the meaning of defending Cheng Shuiyao was obvious.

"Tsk," Xie Yin shook his head undeniably as he looked at him.

This look is really the same as his Lao Tzu.

After eating the meal with a smile, Cheng Shuiyao lay lazily on the bed, feeling that she was extremely excited tonight.

"I'm tired all day, why don't you sleep?" Xiao Ji entered the house and saw Cheng Shuiyao lying on the bed at a glance.
