"My sister is not here."

Not here?

Mr. Zhao looked at Xu Yue, who was standing in front of the dormitory door, looking at him in surprise, and glanced with his handsome eyebrows.

To be honest, Xu Yue was so surprised that she could swallow a whale when she suddenly saw the rosy and peerless Mr. Zhao appearing in front of the dormitory door.

She was not surprised that he actually recovered. She had taken out the medicine, so she naturally knew that he would recover.

What surprised her was that Mr. Zhao, who had always ignored her sister, actually came here looking for her!

Looking at Mr. Zhao who was stunned in front of the door, not knowing how to react, Xu Yue turned slightly and asked, "Do you want to come in?"

Boya and others next to her had already looked over, and she didn't want them to peep, lest these senior brothers would have their own imaginations and she would have to waste time explaining.

Mr. Zhao nodded. He was also uncomfortable with the shocked looks of everyone behind him, so he followed Xu Yue's invitation and entered the small courtyard where the three brothers and sisters lived.

Xu Yue closed the door, blocking all sight lines, but she also knew that after Mr. Zhao left, an explanation would be necessary.

Xu Dalang was sitting cross-legged in the house. When he saw Young Master Zhao walking in, he looked at him expressionlessly.

This was the first time that Mr. Zhao was so close to Xu Erniang's brothers and sisters, and it was also the first time that he clearly felt the strong sense of oppression coming from Xu Dalang, who was the invincible opponent in the academy.

Mr. Zhao gently nodded to Xu Dalang. Xu Dalang closed his eyes and continued to meditate, as if Mr. Zhao did not exist.

Mr. Zhao was embarrassed for a moment. There was a hint of wanting to get closer in his eyes, but he immediately retreated and returned to his usual aloof appearance.

Xu Yue sat down under the eaves, pointed to the stone bench in the courtyard, and motioned for Mr. Zhao to sit down.

He seemed not to believe that Xu Erniang was not in the dormitory. He raised his eyes and looked around. He could clearly see everything in the small courtyard, and indeed there was no trace of Xu Erniang.

Not only is it missing, but some items about her seem to be missing as well.

Although Mr. Zhao had never walked into this small courtyard and did not know what Xu Erniang should put here, he suddenly felt that there was no trace of Xu Erniang's life here.

"Where has she gone?" Mr. Zhao was a little panicked. As he asked, he secretly observed the woman in front of him who was accepted as a disciple by Yan Daru.

She wore the same men's shirt as her classmates in the academy. At the age of eleven, when it was hard to distinguish between male and female, her short black hair was barely enough to be combed into a bun and wrapped with a white scarf.

She has beautiful eyebrows, fair skin, and a healthy rosiness. She is also taller than women of the same age. Looking from a distance, she just thought she was a young master from some family.

Mr. Zhao finally discovered something was different. When Xu Erniang was here, Xu Yue had never dressed up so carelessly.

Xu Yue noticed Mr. Zhao's scrutiny, her face showed no expression, and she calmly replied: "I can't tell you."

Mr. Zhao asked: "Have you gone home?"

He thought that Xu Erniang was already thirteen years old this year, and according to etiquette, it was time to get married.

It's just that he has never heard that the two young ladies of the Xu family have ever been engaged to anyone, so they shouldn't be getting married, right?

Xu Yue didn't know what Mr. Zhao was thinking about, so she just nodded and responded perfunctorily: "Yes, she has gone home and will not come to the academy to attend classes in the future."

"Why?" Mr. Zhao asked eagerly, suddenly becoming excited.

Xu Yue glanced at him strangely, "What's the reason? I'm old enough and I've read enough. It's inconvenient to stay in the academy any longer. In a year or two, I will go home."

Xu Yue admitted that she was angry with Mr. Zhao for no reason, because she was angry with him for pretending to be cold and ignoring her sister.

Although, her sister enjoyed it.

But as a sister, why is she just a protector?

However, when I saw the panic in Mr. Zhao's eyes, why did I feel a little guilty?

"What does Master Zhao want to do with my sister?" Xu Yue asked tentatively.

The man in the courtyard had changed from sitting to standing. His thin lips were trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

Xu Yue waited for a long time, became a little impatient, and directly issued an order to expel the guest, "My sister is not here. If Mr. Zhao feels that it is difficult to say, then you can go back."

"No..." He raised his head and shook his head, "No."

Xu Yue opened her big black eyes, waiting for his next words.

But she didn't expect that Mr. Zhao would be so strange this time. He actually asked her: "I have a rest in two days. Can Junior Brother Xu invite me to Xujiazhuang together?"

"What?" Xu Yue was startled again. Looking at Mr. Zhao's extremely serious expression, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He actually wanted to go home with her to find his sister?

No, no, no, Mr. Zhao has taken the wrong medicine. Isn't he still used to his sister not pestering him?

Besides, I'm afraid my sister has already boarded the big ship going south. Where can she find Xu Erniang to settle in Xujiazhuang?

"Are you offended?" Before Xu Yue could answer, Mr. Zhao became nervous.

Xu Yue swallowed secretly, thinking that this matter was serious, her sister had stolen Mr. Zhao’s heart!

For no reason, Xu Yue felt flustered, her eyes rolled around, and she was thinking about a reasonable reason for rejection.

Finally, she thought of it.

Xu Yue apologized and said, "Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry. My father said that I'm not allowed to bring my classmates home during this period."

Xu Dalang, who was meditating in the room, slightly twitched his mouth. Xu Dalang did not have such power.

Mr. Zhao suddenly felt lost, "Then I...can't see her?"

Whispering, he seemed to remember something, his dim eyes lit up again, and wanted to ask Xu Yue if she could bring Xu Erniang to the academy.

However, Xu Yue had already seen what he was thinking from his expression and said first, "Mr. Zhao, my sister has actually gone back to her hometown. She won't be able to come back for a year or so."

Mr. Zhao was stunned and subconsciously asked: "Are you going back to your hometown to get engaged?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he was startled. Two red clouds suddenly floated on his face, but his heart beat faster and faster. He stared at Xu Yue with cold phoenix eyes, fearing that she would answer yes from her mouth.

Fortunately, the girl in front of me shook her head, "No, I just went back to my hometown to pay homage to my ancestors. My family fled here because of the drought. Now that we are prosperous, we are going to go back to our hometown to pay homage to our ancestors."

This is also what the Xu family said to the outside world. It was a complete show. Xu Yue also sent a few people to Shanyang County, Yanzhou, and they are now on the road.

That's fine. Mr. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

But thinking about not being able to see Xu Erniang for a long time, my mood gradually became depressed.

He glanced at Xu Yue, calmed down his emotions, and said goodbye with fists in his hands.

Xu Yue nodded and sent him to the door. She looked at Mr. Zhao and disappeared, and then looked away.

However, today's brief meeting made Xu Yue change her view of him a lot.

She thought that Mr. Zhao's indifference to my sister in the past might not be because he didn't like her, but he just didn't dare.

Look, as soon as she recovered, she immediately came to see her sister.
