The next morning, after Xiao Qi left Lanyin Academy, Xu Miaoyin asked Yuqiu to call Uncle Song.

Yuchun came in with medicine and saw Xu Miaoyin sitting on the soft couch, rubbing her forehead.

"Girl is not feeling well, why don't you let the doctor come and take a look?" Yuchun handed the medicine bowl to Xu Miaoyin and said.

Xu Miaoyin shook her head, took the medicine bowl, and drank it in one gulp. Yuchun offered some candied fruit, but Xu Miaoyin didn't eat it. She said calmly: "I just didn't sleep well last night, so there's no need to call a doctor."

At this time, Yuqiu came in and reported that Uncle Song was here. Xu Miaoyin invited people in, showed Uncle Song where to sit, and said: "Uncle Song, due to the incident in Yancheng some time ago, Yuchun and Fushou's marriage was delayed.

I invite you here today because I want to set a date for their wedding."

Uncle Song didn't want his wife to call him here for this matter, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. He glanced at Yuchun standing aside and didn't know what to do.

The master once said that the wife must cooperate with whatever she wants to do, but this matter of marriage cannot be fooled for a while. For now, she can only agree first, and then slowly think of a solution.

After thinking for a moment, Uncle Song said: "I will follow Madam's arrangement."

Xu Miaoyin said with a smile: "Okay, Uncle Song, you go back and choose a good and auspicious day. I have also prepared Yuchun's dowry for her." She glanced at Yuchun who was looking downcast, and then said to Uncle Song: "

Yuchun has been with me since she was a child, and I don't want to wrong her. Uncle Song, please help me find a larger house in the city so that the young couple can move out after they get married."

Uncle Song was a little surprised and asked tentatively: "Is the eldest lady going to deregister Yuchun?"

Xu Miaoyin nodded with a smile, looked at Yuchun who was also a little surprised, and said with a smile: "We are master and servant, so I hope you can live freely. You have been sold into the Xu Mansion since you were a child, so you have to take care of me.

Thoughtful, of course I want to find a good place for you." She turned to Uncle Song and said: "The Song family is a family-born son, and they have been growing up in the Xu family for generations. Uncle Song has also devoted himself to the Xu family, not only Yuchun, but also the Xu family.

I also want to deregister Uncle Song and your family. After they get married, Uncle Song, you can live with them and enjoy a family relationship."

Uncle Song was so touched that his eyes turned red. Although he was not really Uncle Song, over the past few years, Madam had really treated the people who deceived her as family members and would never criticize them too much.

This group of people are originally wandering orphans and beggars. After being taken under the master's command, they spend most of their time training. The relationship between people is indifferent. It is very rare for them to be treated sincerely like this.

Uncle Song knelt on the ground unconsciously. Xu Miaoyin reached out to help her, but Uncle Song lightly pushed her hand away, shook his head, and then kowtowed to Xu Miaoyin.

Not knowing where to start, Uncle Song could only express his gratitude to Xu Miaoyin in this way, "Thank you, Miss!"

Xu Miaoyin asked Yuchun to help Uncle Song up and said, "I can only do so much for you now."

Uncle Song stood up, expressed his gratitude again, and then left. Yuqiu went to see Uncle Song off, and only Xu Miaoyin and Yuchun were left in the room.

When Yuchun saw that everyone had gone out, she knelt down in front of Xu Miaoyin with a plop.

Yuchun knelt on the ground with tears in her eyes and cried softly: "Girl, we don't deserve you to be so kind to us."

She could see Uncle Song's gratitude to the girl. She was no different from Uncle Song. Even she and Yuqiu went too far. They deceived openly, but in exchange for the girl's sincere treatment, they considered everything for them.

, and they couldn't tell her anything.

"What are you talking about? Why is it not worth it for you and Yuqiu to accompany me since childhood?" Xu Miaoyin helped Yuchun up and wiped away her tears.

Yuchun felt guilty and cried harder and harder.

Xu Miaoyin saw her crying until she was sobbing. She didn't understand how she could make this girl cry like this when she was fine just now. "What's wrong with you? But you are not satisfied with the marriage? If you don't want to get married, let's wait and see.

But the matter of denaturalization must be done. By then you and Yuqiu will have your own house, as well as the dowry I gave you, and you can find anyone you want, so don’t cry!"

Xu Miaoyin was anxious when she saw that the more she persuaded Yuchun to cry more fiercely, Yuqiu walked in at this moment.

Yuqiu's eyes were also a little red. She had heard Xu Miaoyin's words at the door just now. They didn't know how to repay the girl's kindness to her and Yuchun.

Seeing Yuqiu coming, Xu Miaoyin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yuqiu, please come and persuade her. This girl is crying so hard for some reason."

Yuqiu pulled Yuchun to wipe her face and said warmly: "Stop crying, you look like you're scaring the girl. I know you are grateful for the girl's kindness to us, but if you continue to cry, your eyes will become swollen.

People who don't know better would think that the girl is treating us harshly."

Hearing this, Yuchun quickly wiped away her tears and stopped crying. When she saw Yuqiu shaking her head towards her, she finally came to her senses.

When Xu Miaoyin saw that Yuchun finally stopped crying, and saw that she was crying like a little cat, she asked Yuqiu to take her down to wash up.

The two of them retired to the back room.

Yuchun took the cotton towel handed over by Yuqiu and said with some frustration: "Yuqiu, do we really want to do this to the girl? The girl is fine. You see, the girl has been normal in the past two months and has not had any illnesses again.

,Why is the master still hiding it from her?"

Yuqiu covered her mouth and said softly: "If you are really good for the girl, don't say such things again." After Yuqiu said that, he let her go.

Yuchun lowered her head sadly. There were too many things involved between the girl and her master, and there was really nothing they could do.

In the study, the secret guard had reported everything that had just happened to Xiao Qi.

Chen Fengling saw him lowering his eyes and wondered what he was thinking. Now it was even more difficult for him to guess Xiao Qi's thoughts.

Chen Fengling glanced at him and said, "It seems that she is looking for a way out for those around her!"

Xiao Qi glanced at him and said nothing. How could he not know her plan? She knew what would happen to the Xu family in the end. She was now taking precautions to find a way out for the people around her. If she still couldn't escape in the end, at least

Only one can walk.

This was the reason why she negotiated terms with herself yesterday.

She really cherishes her family.

But what about him? Where will she put him in the end?

Will you also think about the future for him just like you do for your own family?

Chen Fengling saw that the memorial in Xiao Qi's hand had been wrinkled by his pinching, and she didn't know what he had thought of to become like this, becoming even more taciturn.

"Ahem, if you keep pinching like this, the memorial in your hand will be scrapped. If I read it correctly, it is the military supply report from the Rongguo Gazette." Chen Fengling reminded.

When Xiao Qi heard this, he let go of his hand, threw the memorial on the table, and said quietly: "Qiu Wei is the key this time. The people from Liyang have already set off, and it's time for you to go back."

Chen Fengling nodded in agreement, then suddenly remembered something and asked tentatively: "You really plan to let Qiao Zhi leave. If I leave, do you really feel free to let someone else pretend to be Xu Rennian?"

Xiao Qi raised his head and looked outside the study. Qiao Zhi was kneeling straight outside the study.

I don't know how long it took before Xiao Qi withdrew his gaze and said casually: "Let him get up."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fengling immediately opened the study door and shouted to Qiao Zhi who was kneeling in the courtyard: "The master has asked you to get up!"

It took Qiao Zhi a long time to react, and he bowed to the study with an excited yet restrained expression, "Thank you, Master!" After saying that, he staggered up and left.

When Chen Fengling saw Qiao Zhi walking away, she closed the study door, turned to Xiao Qi and said, "Actually, you are not unkind, but you like to say harsh words."

Xiao Qi glanced at him and then read the memorial: "You talk a little too much today."

Chen Fengling sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "Since I have said too much, I will say a little more..." He straightened his expression, "Your Majesty, you have also seen that Xu Miaoyin has not committed the same crime again in the past two months.

If you are sick, you should stop hiding it from her. If one day, she knows that the people around her are fake, she will collapse again. Moreover, you should also go back to Yujing to take charge of the overall situation. You can't keep it.

I was delayed in Yangzhou."

Xiao Qi was sitting in an armchair. After listening to Chen Fengling's words, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

He was not afraid of anything, but now he gradually learned that he was afraid. He was afraid that she would leave him, that she would no longer take him into her heart, that she would regard him as a stranger. Therefore, sometimes, he would rather Xu Miaoyin hate him than hate him.

He couldn't accept Xu Miaoyin ignoring him.

He also thought about taking her back to Yujing, but he didn't dare to take the risk. If she remembered everything, it might be time to lose her forever.

Seeing his sad expression, Chen Fengling sighed and said, "All she cares about is that you killed her father and family. If you tell her the truth and you didn't do all this, wouldn't it be solved?"

If he could explain it, he would have explained it long ago, and it would not have delayed these three years, and they also lost their first child.

Thinking of the lost child, Xiao Qi closed his eyes in pain. The child could have survived, if not for him...

Xiao Qi remembered the scene when he took Xu Miaoyin to Yujing three years ago after rescuing her. That was the first time he faced her without any disguise, but in exchange he lost her and their child.

The weather was particularly good that day, and the oars cut through the sparkling water, carrying the ship as it sailed on the canal. The rising sun awakened the foraging birds, and the gentle chirping of birds rang out on both sides of the bank.

Xu Miaoyin woke up leisurely amidst the bursts of birdsong. Her head was still a little dizzy, as if she was in a cradle, and a wave of fatigue spread.

She turned her head and wanted to sleep for a while, but she felt a sudden light in front of her eyes. She subconsciously blocked it with her hand, but she encountered a pair of hands.

The bones of these hands were distinct, and there was a thin layer of calluses on the slender fingers. The warm palms were lightly covering her eyes.

The corners of her mouth curved, and her voice had a hint of coquettishness as if she had just woken up, as she softly called, "Husband!"

She took off his hand, opened her eyes, and gradually saw the person in front of her clearly, and her hazy eyes gradually became clear.

Xiao Qi knew that she was really awake now!

Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and she slowly stood up. He tried to help her, but she avoided him.

She looked around. The stone cliffs passing by outside the window and the sound of rushing water in her ears showed that they were now on a boat.

"Where are you taking me? My sister and the others?" Her eyes were full of wariness and she asked repeatedly.

Xiao Qi sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes passing over the newly bandaged wound on her neck, and he slowly said: "Of course it's home. As for the little sister, they have their own place to go!"

Go home? Does she still have a home? Hasn't her home been burned down by him?

"Go home? That's your home. My home has been burned to the ground by you!"

The mocking tone made Xiao Qi suddenly shrink in his heart and lowered his eyes. When he raised his eyes again, his eyes were filled with tenderness.

"Miaomiao, if you talk to me like this, I will be sad. As long as you are obedient, I won't be angry with you. Let's make peace, okay?"

Xu Miaoyin looked at him in disbelief. He was wearing a dragon-shaped jade crown on his head and a purple brocade jade belt, but he said such words to her in Fang Shuhuai's tone!

She only thought it was funny, but her eyes slowly turned red, and tears couldn't stop pouring out of her eyes.
