Si Moli left someone in the Duke's Mansion. Although it is different now than in the past, if Shen Qingyun wants to see him or send him any news, he can do it through this person.

Soon, Shen Qingyun received a reply: Tingfeng Pavilion tomorrow.

Shen Qingyun put the paper on top of the candle, and the thin paper quickly ignited. She let go gently, and the paper rolled in the cup and saucer, and burned out in just a moment.

The next day, she left the house early and went to Tingfeng Pavilion.

After announcing Yajian's name, Su Yiyi understood it and served tea and snacks. Then she said softly: "The guests haven't arrived yet. Miss, please wait for a while."

Shen Qingyun nodded, and everyone retreated.

This private room was reserved by Shen Qingyun for Si Moli alone, and was never open to the public except when they met.

In the past, Si Moli always came to wait for her, but now that the government was busy and couldn't get away for a while, it was finally her turn to wait.

Fingertips rubbed the mouth of the celadon bowl, and a few tea leaves stretched and sank in the clear green liquid. Shen Qingyun looked at it quietly, her eyes deep and soft, and the tea sank to the bottom, like the tip of a pen standing upright.

"What are you looking at?" A deep voice sounded from beside you.

Shen Qingyun suddenly came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile: "It's nothing, I was so lost in thought looking at the tea leaves that I didn't even notice you were coming."

Si Moli took off his black robe and sat opposite her: "But you are uneasy about leaving?"

Shen Qingyun said helplessly: "You always understand what I think."

Although she did not grow up in Kyoto since she was a child, the memories of the countryside have been blurred for two lifetimes. Moreover, this time, she took the initiative to step out of Kyoto. The journey was a long one, and it was inevitable that she would feel sad.

"When are you going to leave?" Si Moli asked while drinking tea: "I think Rufeng can't wait. Although his hand is not completely healed, he really wants to leave as soon as possible."

Shen Qingyun thought for a while: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Let's choose the day after tomorrow. We can clean up tomorrow."

Although he had psychological expectations, Si Moli's hand still tightened slightly.

He took a sip of tea and suppressed the swollen emotions in his heart. The bitter taste spread, making it difficult to maintain the smile on his face.

The two were silent for a while.

Perhaps feeling too depressed, Shen Qingyun looked out the window. Later, the two of them simply got up and went to the window. Looking at the busy traffic downstairs, which looked peaceful, Shen Qingyun's heart suddenly trembled.

She raised her eyes and looked at Si Moli. The person in front of her was now the emperor of Qianqi Kingdom.

It is precisely because he stabilizes the overall situation with one hand that we have the prosperity and stability we have today.

"Qingyun."

"Um?"

Si Moli looked back at the building in the distance, smiled lightly and said, "Hug me."

Shen Qingyun felt sad and threw herself into his arms.

Although she was already tall among women, she looked so petite when Si Moli held her waist, and her whole body was wrapped in the faint scent of ambergris.

At this moment, she desperately wanted to stay, wanted to stay by his side.

Si Moli tightened his arms, his long hair falling from his fingertips, and he gently kissed Shen Qingyun's hair.

"Don't be afraid, Qingyun, I will always be here." His eyes were soft.

Growing up, he had seen too many conspiracies and schemes. Even when he was young, he had been fighting on the battlefield, with blood splattering on his face. He was used to seeing life and death, and he had no emotion at all.

Perhaps Shen Qingyun is the last piece of pure land in his heart that he clings to.

She is simple, yet cunning, stubborn, and free and easy. No matter what she is, she has long been engraved deep in my heart.

The two just hugged each other, feeling each other's body temperature, and didn't speak again for a long time.

When she raised her head and their eyes met, he leaned over slightly and kissed her lips carefully. Between the soft intertwining, there seemed to be a warmth flowing from the lips to the whole body, making the body soften slightly. Want to get stuck in it.

"wait for me."

"good."

...

Until Shen Qingyun returned to Jianjiayuan, she seemed to be in a trance.

"Miss, miss?" Pearl called softly.

"What's wrong?" Shen Qingyun came back to her senses, her eyes full of confusion.

Pearl couldn't help but laugh. She always felt that such a young lady looked extremely cute, and suddenly she was stunned.

"The shopkeepers in the shop are all here. Miss, don't you want to give me some instructions? They are all waiting outside." Yicui answered.

Shen Qingyun nodded, pondered for a moment, and his eyes returned to their usual indifference: "Okay, follow me out."

Wang Qingrui was also standing outside. Since Shen Nan and the others were blasted away, her whole complexion looked brighter, like a cluster of delicate roses blooming there.

Shen Qingyun sat down at the main seat, looked around at the people below, and then lightly opened her thin lips: "I'm calling you here this time. Nothing else has changed. It's just that in the next period of time, all accounts and daily routines will be changed." All major matters will be temporarily left to Auntie Wang to handle. If you have any problems in the future, please come to the Duke's Mansion to find Auntie to resolve and listen to her decision. If anyone takes advantage of the opportunity and wants to be sneaky, think carefully in your own mind."

After a pause, she looked at the expressions of the people below. Although some people looked confused and some frowned, there was no obvious objection.

She secretly wrote down the reactions of each manager, and then continued: "Over the years, everyone has worked hard, and I can see it. You are all old people who have followed this journey, what should you do? , I believe everyone has their own inner balance, and naturally, if you do well, there will be additional rewards."

After speaking, she gave Wang Qingrui a look.

Wang Qingrui nodded and said a few words on behalf of others. Then, using the excuse that the festival was about to take place, she ordered the maids around her to give everyone some reward money and a basket of food, and then sent everyone away.

When everyone was gone, Wang Qingrui asked reluctantly: "Miss, when will you come back after leaving?"

Shen Qingyun thought for a while and shook his head: "Actually, I can't tell clearly. It can be as short as two or three months, or as long as half a year. During this period, the Duke's Mansion will be completely handed over to you."

Wang Qingrui smiled sweetly, but her expression was very serious: "Don't worry, Miss, you will be the same when you come back to the Duke's Mansion. But when you go out, you must pay attention to safety. When you see Mrs. Han, do the same for me." Say hello. It's a pity that I couldn't come in earlier so I could have a look at the lady's grace."

Shen Qingyun was amused by her. In fact, she was not particularly worried about the situation in the Duke's Mansion.

Except for the manpower she left behind, and Si Moli protecting her secretly, no one made trouble when she left.

Thinking of this, she felt in a trance again.

Unknowingly, no matter what happened, he always seemed to be silently protecting her from behind.
