Xiao Zhi and Chu Xin have been in Wanxian County for seven or eight days, and on the surface, it seems that they have found nothing, no matter what county order they ask, they are also fluent, and they can't see any flaws at all.

If it weren't for the accidental encounter with Qianqian, I'm afraid that I would really have been deceived in the past, after all, everyone refuses to tell the truth, and they dare not tell the truth.

"Isn't it time to go back in a few days?"

Xiao Zhi and Chu Xin were sitting in the courtyard, both with thick cloaks on their bodies, and it was getting colder and colder at the moment.

"Hmm"

Xiao Zhi nodded lightly.

"It's a little reluctant, it's not easy for the two of us, and we'll have to face those when we go back."

Chu Xin's tone was light, and the whole person looked a little lonely.

Ever since I experienced the feeling of being only the two of them together, the thought of facing Chu Yi again after going back made the whole person feel extremely heavy, and I felt that all this was so hard.

I don't want to face Chu Yi's yin and yang weird ridicule, I don't want to face the appearance of always deliberately embarrassing myself, and I don't want to see Xiao Zhi until seven or eight days after I go back.

Xiao Zhi and Chu Yi are a rightful husband and wife, as if they have become the superfluous one...

"If you don't want to go back, we'll stay here for a few more days, and there's no hurry."

Xiao Zhi looked at Chu Xin distressedly, feeling the reluctance emanating from the other party, in fact, it didn't matter if he stayed for a few more days.

"No need, Chu Yi is still waiting for you in the palace, she won't have a good time going back late, not to mention that no matter how many days we stay, we still have to go back after all, the people who should face it still have to be faced, and no matter how long it takes, it will only deceive ourselves."

Chu Xin's eyes were red, and with these days as a comparison, he felt that life in the palace was really difficult.

felt how happy she and Xiao Zhi got along, and they no longer had to worry about being disturbed by other people.

They have known each other for so many years, and they are all so familiar, but in the middle, another person is forcefully squeezed in.

"We're going out for a walk tonight, it's just the two of us!"

Xiao Zhi said guiltily, in fact, whose fault is all this, Chu Xin doesn't know, is it possible that he doesn't know?

"Okay."

Chu Xin finally felt better, if he wanted to go back, it would be a few days later, at least, they were still together now, at least they were happy now.

And they should be glad that they can still have a time when no one is disturbed.

"Your Highness, Madame Side!"

Mingyu hurried in from outside.

"What's wrong, she's okay?"

Chu Xin and Xiao Zhi let Qianqian live outside, and let Mingyu go over to take a look from time to time during the day.

"Your Highness and Mrs. Fang, don't worry, she is very good, everything is fine, she is very well-behaved and obedient, she will not run around, and she will stay in the house every day."

Mingyu nodded hurriedly and told the truth.

Although I don't know why His Royal Highness and Mrs. Fang are so attentive to that little girl, since it is an order, I just listen to it.

But the little girl looks really pitiful, she looks quite delicate, and her temperament is also well-behaved and obedient, and she can stay in the house patiently every day.

So every time I go to buy some sweet pastries, doesn't it mean that little girls and children just like to eat these sweet pastries?

"Well, we'll take her with us when we go back, but we'll have to go first, and then we'll bring people over without anyone noticing."

Chu Xin carefully advised, no matter what, it would be a good thing to save a little girl, just stay in his courtyard after bringing it back to the palace, Chu Yi should not pay attention to these.

"After I go back, I will go and make it clear to Chu Yi and ask her not to embarrass you again."

This is also what Xiao Zhi is more worried about, if he doesn't make it clear, maybe Chu Yi will make a big fuss again.

Chu Xin didn't speak, but he couldn't bear to be a little sour, as if he had to take into account the existence of another person no matter what he did, this feeling was really bad.

"Don't be bored here, I'll take you out for a walk, you and I haven't been to the folk market yet, I've seen enough tonight!"

Xiao Zhi directly stretched out his hand and pulled Chu Xin up, no matter how much trouble there was, it would be after they went back, but they haven't gone back yet, and now there are only the two of them.

At this moment, the sky had slowly darkened, and feeling a burst of excitement around him, Chu Xin also felt that the sourness in his heart had been reduced a lot.

"You know, I have always been partial to you in my heart, but she is a princess after all, and she has to give face to many things, her temper has always been like this, and it is difficult for me to do it."

Not only did Chu Xin not want to go back to face it, he didn't want to face Chu Yi himself, he didn't want to be patient and suppress the temper in his heart to coax her, and many times he was so angry that he was helpless.

I really don't like Chu Yi, I don't like his high-minded appearance, I don't like the arrogance on her, I just feel bored, I only feel dazzling, I only feel that I get in the way.

"When she was a child, she was her father's favorite princess, and her mother was a concubine who managed the harem, so she naturally developed a pampered temperament."

Chu Xin smiled and shook his head, looking left and right, these folk gadgets are really good-looking, all kinds of masks, sugar people and those hairpins, Xiao Zhi bought a peach blossom hairpin a few days ago, and he has been wearing it on his head for the past few days.

Because I know that after returning to the palace, I must not be able to bring these things that cannot be brought on the table, and I can only bring gold hairpins and hostas, so I can bring a few days these days.

"I look at these candy men looking interesting, do you want to eat them?"

Xiao Zhi dragged Chu Xin to the small vendor who was a sugar man, paid and took two sugar people.

Xiao Zhi took the pattern of the Tang Dynasty is the moon, Chu Xin pulled it just like a star, took a bite gently, and his mouth was immediately filled with sweetness.

"Although these things are not as good as the pastries I ate in the palace before, they still look quite interesting, this sugar man can also make all kinds of appearances, and the stall owner's craftsmanship is extremely skilled."

Chu Xin praised while eating, her sugar man was in the shape of a star, and she had already bitten off a corner, and she saw that the sugar man made by the stall owner had all kinds of appearances, which was really powerful.

"yes."

Xiao Zhi smiled, sweet, indeed very sweet.

The two of them walked around for a long time, and bought a lot of things, either a beautiful hairpin or a delicately embroidered sachet.

"Why don't you buy some food, I'll go see Qianqian?"

Chu Xin also looked around, this place is very close to Qianqian's inn, and she has come here, so it's good to go and see her.

"Okay, you go and see her, I'll wait for you outside."

Xiao Zhi said softly.

Qianqian lived alone in this inn for a few days, at first she was very scared, but then she slowly became familiar with it, every day there was a shopkeeper who sent the food outside, and then opened the door to bring the food in.

I will listen to my brothers and sisters, stay here all day, and never go out to run around.

It was getting dark, and suddenly she heard a knock on the door, and Qianqian was startled.

Even if the shopkeeper wants to deliver food, he will only knock on the door, but now this voice has knocked several times, and it shouldn't be the shopkeeper.

But my brother and sister have told her not to open the door, let alone go out, no matter who it is.

"Qianqian, it's me."

As soon as she heard a familiar voice outside, Qianqian hurriedly ran over to open the door, and sure enough, she saw someone she had been thinking about for several days.

"Sister."

Qianqian's eyes suddenly turned red, Chu Xin couldn't help but smile, walked in and closed the door, took her hand and sat on the bed, touching her head and comforting gently.

"I have my own things to deal with these days, I didn't come to see you, I came here when I was free today, don't worry, stay here for another three or two days at most, and we will take you back."

Chu Xin knew that children at this age were sensitive and fragile, not to mention that Qianqian had experienced such a terrible thing, and she definitely didn't have a sense of security.

So I have made up my mind to let Qianqian live with her in Qixia Courtyard, and she will be the person in her own yard in the future.

"Thank you sister for being able to take me with you, thank you sister for not abandoning me."

Qianqian cried and choked up, in fact, in the past few days of living here, a heart has always been unable to settle down, always looking forward to something, and being afraid of something.

I'm so afraid that this sentence will bring her back, it's just an empty word, I'm so afraid that I just left her here, and then there will be no one.

Seeing my sister coming over today, I was finally relieved.

"Okay, don't cry, I brought you some pastries, can you taste them?"

Chu Xin touched Qianqian's head distressedly, put the pastry he brought on the table, opened the paper and picked up a piece of sugar cake and sent it to Qianqian.

Qianqian ate it one bite at a time, maybe she tasted the sweetness, and her heart felt less sour.

"Where is my sister's home?"

As I ate, I asked where I wanted to know where I was going to go in the future.

"It's in the bustling capital of the capital, and after you go, you live in the same courtyard with me, but you also have to be obedient, you can only stay with me, and it is safest to be by my side."

Chu Xin smiled softly, seeing that Qianqian suddenly saw her young self, she seemed to be so insecure when she was a child.

"Can you only stay in the yard? Isn't my sister my brother's wife? Why can't you just stay in the yard and not go anywhere else? ”

Qianqian tilted her head, a little puzzled.

It can be seen that the brothers and sisters who rescued him are not ordinary people, they must be rich and noble, can't they afford to buy a bigger house, they can only live in the yard?

Chu Xin was silent for a while, it doesn't matter, you have to say it early or late, it's good to make it clear to Qianqian at this moment.

"I'm just Mrs. Fang, and the master of the entire mansion is not me, so you have to be careful with me, but you can't offend her, otherwise I can't help it, do you understand?"

Chu Xin went to pinch Qianqian's face, she and Xiao Zhi both paid enough silver to let the meals sent by the shopkeeper be the best with fish and meat, and let Mingyu come over to keep an eye on it.

Qianqian finally grew some flesh, no longer as skinny as she had seen it at the beginning, and her face was not so sharp, and gradually became rounded.

"I see that brother likes my sister very much, why don't you be the eldest lady? Could it be that the eldest lady in the house is very fierce and bad? Is that sister bullied by her on weekdays? ”

Qianqian grabbed Chu Xin's hand with some fear, she grew up in the folk and had never seen things in the backyard of these rich and noble people, but she had heard of some.

When I was a child, I heard how the eldest lady outside the king treated the concubine, and tortured the concubine viciously to the point that life was worse than death.

But she really likes the sister in front of her, and she doesn't want her sister to be wronged, let alone let her sister be tortured by the eldest lady like that little concubine.

"It's okay, you don't have to be afraid, you can be with me, just live your own life in our own yard, and don't run out on weekdays.

The brother you mentioned also likes me, but there are a lot of complicated things going on, and he can't make the decisions. “

Thinking of those things in the past, Chu Xin felt a pain in his heart, if Chu Yi hadn't squeezed in strongly, every day he and Xiao Zhi would be as happy as they are now, and there would be no more messy worries.

Even if you bring Qianqian back, you don't have to think about Chu Yi all the time, and you don't have to think about how to deal with it to see her face.

Forget it, I can't think about it anymore, the more I think about it, the more unhappy I feel in my heart.

Things have come to this point, and she can't regret it.

"I see."

Qianqian nodded knowingly, knowing that it was already a great blessing to be taken back, and she also knew that she had to listen to her sister obediently, and don't run around as she said.

Chu Xin squeezed out a smile, in three days at most, they will set off, if Chu Yi is made to wait for a long time, he doesn't know what to do when he goes back.

Only the time she spent with Xiao Zhi would eventually end, and she would always have to face the existence of another person.
