After listening to his mother's analysis, Nangong Yuchen's face became more and more solemn, he pondered for a moment, and then nodded: "Okay, the child listens to his mother." ”

Mrs. Nangong was overjoyed when she heard this: "Good boy, you have finally figured it out, and my mother is not willing to let you suffer, but this matter can only be wronged by you." ”

Nangong Yuchen didn't say anything more, and acquiesced in Mrs. Nangong's decision.

He knew in his heart that if he refused this time, he might never be able to get rid of the shackles of the Liu family.

Mrs. Nangong chatted with her son for a while before leaving.

"My young master, why did you suddenly change your mind?" After Mrs. Nangong left, Nangong Yueyi couldn't help but ask.

"Dad, my mother is right, without the support of the Liu family, it would be difficult for us to turn over. Now the only hope is pinned on the Liu family.

And I believe that the Liu family will not treat us badly, as long as we can grasp the opportunity, the Liu family will become the main force of our Nangong family sooner or later. Nangong Yuchen said.

"My brother is right, I also agree with my mother and my father's point of view, instead of marrying the daughter of an ordinary person, it is better to marry Miss Liu."

Hu Yanxin came back with the medicine. Sheng Guo'er looked at Hu Yanxin and asked, "Is everything going well?" ”

"Well, I've collected the medicinal materials I need, and we can do alchemy right away." Hu Yanxin said with a smile.

"Great, we can finally refine the antidote." Sheng Guo'er jumped up happily.

However, Hu Yanxin met the matter of the eldest grandson in 1510 and told Sheng Guo'er about it.

Sheng Guo'er frowned and thought about it.

This eldest grandson is a ruthless character, she doesn't lose at all, and her personality is uncertain, she must carefully consider this matter, and she must not act rashly.

"Hu Yanxin, we still need to discuss this matter again, and we are not in a hurry for a while. Sheng Guo'er said.

\"Okay, then I'll go and get busy first, you can call me anything." After Hu Yanxin finished speaking, he turned around and left the courtyard.

\"Alas, sister, what do you say you should do? Xiao Tao was actually beside him all the time, and when she saw that her sister had finished talking about things, she came out and sighed.

"Little Peach, leave this matter to me, and I will arrange it properly. Now that Wanrong's illness is cured, we can cooperate with the He family, and it will be easier to save your brother-in-law when the time comes," Sheng Guo'er said.

"Okay! Now, my sister is so confident, Xiao Tao didn't say anything more.

......

Nangong Yuchen returned to the house, and he couldn't let go of Sheng Xiaotao in his heart.

Thinking of that day, Sheng Xiaotao's eyes were full of spring, and Nangong Yuchen's heart was hot again.

I don't know what this woman is doing now, thinking about it, Nangong Yuchen's eyes involuntarily glanced out of the window.

Outside the window is a verdant bamboo forest, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard faintly from the depths of the bamboo forest.

In such weather, it should be very cool inside the bamboo forest.

Nangong Yuchen stood up and planned to go for a walk in the bamboo forest.

But as soon as he took two steps, Nangong Yuchen's footsteps stopped, he looked around, and then walked towards the bamboo forest.

A picture suddenly appeared in his mind, Sheng Xiaotao was wearing a white gauze robe, sitting on the lawn, looking up at the sky, with a fairy-like posture, which made Nangong Yuchen have an urge to get closer.

Nangong Yuchen wanted to get close to her, but his footsteps kept calling, and finally he walked into the bamboo forest.

"Huh? \"

When he walked into the bamboo forest, he found that in the depths of the bamboo forest, there was a beautiful woman sitting, and her back looked very much like Sheng Xiaotao.

Nangong Yuchen was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly ran forward.

"Little Peach! \"

\"Huh? Sheng Xiaotao, who was sitting on the lawn, suddenly raised her head, and after seeing clearly that it was Nangong Yuchen, a trace of panic flashed on her face.

Seeing this, Nangong Yuchen showed a relieved smile on his face.

It seems that Sheng Xiaotao still remembers him.

He walked over and squatted down in front of Sheng Xiaotao: "Little Tao, it's really you!" \"

When Sheng Xiaotao heard this, a shy expression appeared on her face: \"Yes, it's me!" \"

"Peach, why are you here?" Nangong Yuchen asked suspiciously.

Sheng Xiaotao lowered her head when she heard this: \"I...... I wanted to come here looking for some herbs, but I didn't expect to run into you. \"

\"Looking for herbs, is this to refine medicines? Nangong Yuchen asked.

Sheng Xiaotao nodded: \"Well, yes. \"

Nangong Yuchen looked at her delicate look, her heart moved, she reached out and stroked her hair, and said softly: "Then tell me what herbs you need, and I will help you collect them, I know that there is an herb that is specifically for toxins, and you should use it." \"

\"Well, thank you. Sheng Xiaotao said gratefully.

\"Fool, thank you! \"

Nangong Yuchen stretched out his fingers and flicked Sheng Xiaotao's forehead, and then took her hand.

Sheng Xiaotao wanted to withdraw her hand, but Nangong Yuchen refused to let go.

Sheng Xiaotao's palm was wrapped in his warm palm, making her lose her mind for a moment, but she quickly came to her senses.

"Little Peach, I have something to tell you. Nangong Yuchen said softly.

\"Huh? Sheng Xiaotao raised her head and looked at Nangong Yuchen with some confusion.

Nangong Yuchen took a deep breath, and then mustered up the courage to ask, "Little Tao, do you like me?" \"

Sheng Xiaotao was stunned when she heard this, and then blushed her cheeks.

"Don't like it! Sheng Xiaotao said shyly.

How could she possibly like Nangong Yuchen?

She never thought of marrying him, she just regarded Nangong Yuchen as a friend, nothing more.

After Nangong Yuchen heard Sheng Xiaotao's answer, the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint arc.

Although I had expected this to be the result, there were still a few ripples in my heart.

"Little Peach, I know that what you like in your heart is Lin Muyan. Nangong Yuchen said in a low voice, his tone was full of puzzlement, but he didn't blame Sheng Xiaotao.

Sheng Xiaotao was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect Nangong Yuchen to guess that she liked Lin Muyan, and she actually had some joy in her heart.

"No, Brother Lin and I are just brother and sister. Sheng Xiaotao retorted anxiously.

She really liked Lin Muyan in her heart, but she didn't show it to Nangong Yuchen, because the gap between them was too big, and she was afraid that she would fall in love with him and hurt him.

"Oh, I see, I thought you'd like me!" Nangong Yuchen smiled bitterly.

He thought Sheng Xiaotao liked him, so every time he was alone with her, he felt his heart beat faster.

\"No, I don't like you, I just see you as a friend. Sheng Xiaotao hurriedly explained.

After Nangong Yuchen heard this, his face became a little darker.

He didn't say anything more, but slowly stood up and turned to leave.

Looking at Nangong Yuchen's back, Sheng Xiaotao felt very uncomfortable.

Nangong Yuchen's back disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest, while Sheng Xiaotao was still sitting on the lawn.

Nangong Yuchen walked for a while, looked back at Sheng Xiaotao's position, and couldn't help but feel sour.

Sheng Xiaotao, I don't want to lose you.

I don't want you to hate me.

Nangong Yuchen looked into the distance and muttered to himself.

......

As night fell, the sky was dotted with stars, and the moon hid, only the starlight shone through the leaves, shining on the bamboo forest.

Sheng Xiaotao sat on the lawn, looking at the bamboo forest in front of her, imagining the appearance of Lin Muyan and Nangong Yuchen in her mind, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up a happy smile.

Xiao Tao looked at the jade bracelet in his hand, it was the little peach given to him by Lin Muyan, and he still smiled and said that it was better to be a temporary brother

\"You like him, don't you? Suddenly, Sheng Xiaotao's ears sounded Nangong Yuchen's voice.

\"Hmm. Sheng Xiaotao nodded when she heard this.

\"You like him, why don't you like me? Nangong Yuchen continued to ask.

When Sheng Xiaotao heard this, her heart sank, and a painful expression appeared on her face: "I'm sorry, I can't like you, I ......"

She didn't know what to say.

\"Little Peach, you still like Lin Muyan, right? Nangong Yuchen asked.

\"Hmm. Sheng Xiaotao nodded, her eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"But why can't you like me? Nangong Yuchen asked.

"I ......" Sheng Xiaotao opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

It's not that she doesn't like Nangong Yuchen, but she doesn't dare to like him.

Because she already has another man in her heart.

When Nangong Yuchen heard Sheng Xiaotao's answer, he also understood in his heart, he didn't ask anything anymore, but turned around and left.

Sheng Xiaotao saw Nangong Yuchen turn around and leave, and hurriedly stood up and followed behind him.

Nangong Yuchen walked very slowly, Sheng Xiaotao caught up with him, and then followed behind him.

"Xiao Tao, ...... between us" Nangong Yuchen stopped and turned to look at Sheng Xiaotao, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to express it.

Sheng Xiaotao saw that Nangong Yuchen had stopped, so she also stopped and raised her eyes to look at him.

The eyes of the two stared at each other, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Nangong Yuchen couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then said, "Little Peach, do you know? I'm actually jealous of him! \"

\"Why? Sheng Xiaotao asked in surprise.

Nangong Yuchen looked at Sheng Xiaotao and said word by word: "Because, I never thought that I would lose to him!" \"

Hearing Nangong Yuchen's words, Sheng Xiaotao was in a trance.

\"I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Lin Muyan, but what I want to tell you is that Lin Muyan is not worthy of you!" He doesn't deserve you at all! You should find a guy who is better than him! Nangong Yuchen said firmly.

Sheng Xiaotao frowned when she heard this.

Nangong Yuchen's words made her very uncomfortable, but she didn't deny it.

It is true that she likes Lin Muyan, but she will not give up her love.

\"I like him, it's my own choice, it's nothing to do with anyone else. Sheng Xiaotao replied coldly.

When Nangong Yuchen heard this, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

Nangong Yuchen thought that even if he was with the girl of the Liu family, it was just a marriage that was not worthy of the name, and he still wanted someone who could really like him to accompany him, so in this place where the gate valve system was strictly hierarchical, it should not be difficult to marry someone he liked, so he spoke to Sheng Xiaotao like this.

But he didn't expect that Sheng Xiaotao would refuse.

Is she disgusting herself?

Nangong Yuchen's heart had an indescribable feeling, as if he had been slapped hard, and it was a hot pain.

\"Since that's the case, then I won't force it, but please promise me that no matter what happens in the future, you are not allowed to like Lin Muyan!" Nangong Yuchen said resolutely.

After speaking, Nangong Yuchen turned around and left.

Sheng Xiaotao looked at his back, frowning.

Why does everyone force her to do something they don't like?

She just wants to find someone who likes her and spend the rest of her life peacefully!

Sheng Xiaotao wanted to resist, but she didn't know how to resist, because of her identity, it was destined to be with the person she loved.

\"I just don't want you to regret it. Nangong Yuchen's voice suddenly sounded in Sheng Xiaotao's head.

Sheng Xiaotao couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this.

Is it her auditory hallucination?

How could she hear Yu Chen's voice?

Isn't he already gone?

Sheng Xiaotao rubbed her eyes, but her eyes were still red.
