"Sister Xiaoxi is right. Forget it if you can't figure it out. Sooner or later you will know what's going on."
The third princess nodded with a wry smile and reached out to pick up the herbal tea in front of her to moisten her dry throat.
"Sisters, we must keep this girl Tong'er here today and find a way to ask her what her identity is.
This girl has visited our house several times. We sisters know nothing about her except that her name is Zhou Tong'er.
How can this be possible?"
"Yes, yes, you don't have to ask very detailed questions. At least you can ask about this girl's origins and identity first."
While the three princesses were discussing quietly, Young Master Liu's voice suddenly came to mind outside the pavilion.
"Ladies, your husband is back."
"Ah, husband, you are back."
"Husband."
"Sisters, please meet your husband."
"No gifts, no gifts at all."
"Thank you, husband."
Young Master Liu sat on the stone bench, placed the Wanli Jiangshan engraved jade fan on the stone table, casually picked up a cup of tea from an unknown beauty, and sent it directly towards the end.
After drinking the tea in the cup, Young Master Liu breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand.
"Hey, why are you still standing? Sit down."
"Hey, sisters, I'll take a seat right now."
Qi Yun sat next to Young Master Liu, and with a sad expression, she picked up the pot and poured another cup of tea for Young Master Liu.
"Husband, sister Hoshino has left after all?"
Young Master Liu chewed the tea leaves in his mouth, raised his head and glanced at the beauties around him, and nodded with a wry smile.
"Yes, I finally left Dalong and returned to Japan."
The Queen shook the small fan in her hand, picked up a crystal grape, gently peeled off the skin, and handed it directly to Young Master Liu.
“Don’t force matters of fate.
Since you really can't keep her, let her go.
And didn’t sister Hoshino already say that when you went out in the morning?
After she settles the matter with her brother, she will come back to our Dalong.
In this way, we Yeju will have a chance to meet again one day.
Didn't you often say before that parting is for a better reunion?
Just wait, as long as her heart is with you.
Sooner or later, he will come back."
Young Master Liu took the grapes and put them into his mouth, nodding with emotion on his face.
"Yes, parting is for a better reunion.
Besides, what else can I do for my husband besides waiting?
No more, no more."
"Husband, why did you buy so many candied haws?"
“I saw it on the street and bought it.
If there are many children in the family, there won’t be much left over for a rough split.
Let’s not talk about the candied haws, but let’s talk about the girl Zhou Tong’er.
What were you sisters talking and laughing about before I came to the pavilion?"
"Husband, my sister was just saying that we must keep this girl Zhou Tong'er today and ask her about her origins and identity."
"Just now, my sister was still thinking about how to keep her. It will be fine if you come back, husband."
"Husband, when Cheng Qian and Tong'er girl are tired from running and have stopped, you must ask Tong'er girl about her identity."
Mr. Liu reached out and grabbed a handful of freshly baked melon seeds. While chewing the melon seeds, he looked thoughtfully at the two figures chasing each other in the garden.
After a while, Mr. Liu narrowed his eyes and spat out the melon seed shells in his mouth, then turned and looked at the beauties around him.
"With the surname Zhou, there are only a few people in the capital who can deal with this guy Cheng Qian on weekdays.
This Zhou Tong'er is a girl from which of their families?"
"Husband, do you think so too?"
"Husband, we sisters have thought about this possibility before."
Just when Mr. Liu was about to speak, he stretched out his hand and heard Zhou Tong'er's clear, melodious, yet bold voice.
"Yanagi Sanro, huh huh... huh huh... You heartless man, if you don't stop for my aunt, I will throw you away with the ax in my hand."
Hearing Zhou Tong'er's shouting, Young Master Liu frowned slightly, pinched the melon seeds in his hand and looked towards Zhou Tong'er's figure.
"Huhuhu, Zhou Tong'er, you silly woman, why don't you throw one away?
This young master will not stop, you throw it away, you throw it away."
"You...you stinking scoundrel.
I'm so blind, girl, why did I fall in love with such a scoundrel like you?"
"Then you can go straight away, I won't stop you."
"This girl is leaving, sir. If you don't give me an explanation today, I will not leave even if I die in your home."
Young Master Liu listened to the noisy words of the two people, looked back at the beauties and shook his head gently.
"wrong."
"Um?"
"Husband?"
"Husband, what's wrong?"
"Husband, have you thought of something?"
Young Master Liu looked at the surprised expressions of all the beauties, picked up a melon seed and threw it into his mouth.
"The accent when this girl speaks is obviously not the accent of Beijing.
If she came from one of the several Zhou families in Beijing, she should have spoken with a smooth Beijing accent.
It can be seen from this that we all thought wrong just now.
The origin of this girl definitely did not come from the capital.
and……"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Husband, and what?"
"Husband, stop being so pretentious and tell me what you thought of?"
Young Master Liu spit out the melon seed shells in his mouth and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was remembering something.
"Moreover, my husband has a vague feeling that Zhou Tong'er's figure looks familiar, as if he has seen her somewhere before."
"What? Husband, have you met this girl Zhou Tong'er before?"
"Husband, is this true or false?"
"Husband, did you remember it wrong?
This girl Zhou Tong'er is only around the age of nine or ten years now, how could you have seen her?"
When Young Master Liu heard the surprised words of the beauties, he hesitated and thought about it for a moment.
"Ladies, I'm not sure whether you have met Zhou Tong'er before I became my husband.
