"Miss, where will you go?" Xiao Yusheng looked at me, his eyes appearing deep and heavy.

My heart also stopped and beaten for a beat because of this problem.

Where will it go?

Isn’t this question a question that I have asked myself thousands of times. I thought I could stay safely in Jinling and Pei Yuanxiu, but I didn’t expect that I would leave after all, but when I left that man, where can I go and where is my place to stay?

Looking at my somewhat entangled eyes, Xiao Yusheng seemed to feel the conflict in my heart. He was silent for a while and said softly: "Miss, will you go back to Xichuan?"

I glanced at him.

His expression seemed plain and gentle, and he said, "No matter what the situation in Xichuan or the Yan family, as long as Xishan Academy is still there, it will definitely be a place for the eldest lady."

“…”

"And if the eldest lady returns to the academy, I think senior brother will be happy."

“…”

I was silent for a while.

I don’t know whether the happy senior brother he said was Nan Zhenyi Nan who was in charge of the overall situation at Xishan Academy or Liu who was only a short distance away from us, but I didn’t ask, just showed a grateful smile and said, “Thank you, I will consider this.”

Xiao Yusheng also smiled.

He seemed to have understood something in his smile. When he turned to look, the sky around him had completely darkened. He leaned over and bowed to me and said, "Miss, let's rest first. We can discuss these things later."

"Well, you'll have a break early, too."

"Also," he said, looking around again, and said softly: "The young lady must not be kept from leaving Jinling for long. Soon, everyone will know. Please do not go out for the time being here for the time being, so as not to be known by others, as it may cause unnecessary trouble."

"Okay, I get it."

He turned around and left. After he left, I was still standing in the corridor on the second floor, looking at the scenery for a while, watching the lights flashing everywhere in the small fishing village, listening to the surging rivers in the distance, and the familiar fishy smell that came from the wind, everything seemed to be the dusty time many years ago.

It seems like yesterday.

There was also the quiet room, and the faint, orange-red light from the windows.

It seemed as if I could feel my gaze. After shaking a few times, the candlelight went out and then merged into the dark sky around me.

I took a last look and turned back to my room.

Early the next morning, Yunxiang came again.

Xiao Yusheng and the others did not have any maids, so there was no one to take care of my diet and daily life, so Yunxiang had to worry a lot. She brought me breakfast, combed my hair, looked at my face in the mirror, and sighed softly: "You have lost a lot."

"Yeah?"

"In my impression, except for you who are pregnant and have gained a little weight during the confinement period, you are so thin all the time."

As he said that, he pinched my wrist: "Look, it's like a firewood stick."

I smiled and said, "You are so fat, look at yourself," and pinched her wrist. Of course, she was rounder than me, but she was also thinner, but I clearly remember that she followed me to set up an embroidery workshop, and she was busy every day, with silver bracelets on her wrists, and she could only put a handkerchief in it.

She smiled and said, "I worry about so many things every day, so it should be thin. However, it is much better than the previous year."

I said, "I heard from Boss Wang that your Qingyun Embroidery Shop is now very famous. Many large silk and satin shops in Yangzhou City want to do business with you."

"What's my Qingyun Embroidery Workshop? It's ours!" She said with great correction.

I laughed.

"I'm not kidding," Yunxiang said, her face becoming more and more serious, and she said, "Although I know that you will not be short of money over the years, I have saved all the money I should give you. I have also brought the tickets in Dafeng Money House. You can cash it in other places."

As she said that, she took out a stack of bank tickets from her arms and put them on the table.

"you--"

"It's not just money," she continued, "You made this embroidery workshop, I'm just taking care of you. If you don't come back a day, I'll take care of you for one day. If you don't come back a year, I'll take care of you for one year. But if you come back, this embroidery workshop is yours."

“…”

A hot and almost bitter heat surged in my heart, which made me feel the urge to cry. When I looked up at her, I saw that Yunxiang's eyes were also slightly red and said, "I know, you are just coming here for the time being. Like my third brother, you will not stay in this small village for a long time. This is not a place where you can display it."

“…”

"But I still hope that one day you will come back and really come back."

“…”

I held her slender but particularly powerful wrist, looked at her sincere eyes, without saying anything, but just smiled softly.

...

After Yunxiang had a long talk with me, almost half of the morning had passed. She had to go home to take care of the embroidery workshop, so she left first. I sat in the room for a while, looking at the thick stack of house tickets on the table, and was not polite, so I picked it up and stacked it carefully, and then put it in the purse that I had been tied to my waist and kept close to my body.

Now, the purse is bulging and is almost about to be cracked.

With a trace of indescribable satisfaction, I gently patted the bulging purse, then got up and walked out.

Finally, I walked out of this small building. When I went downstairs, I asked the attendants waiting at the stairs and found out that Xiao Yusheng had gone out. I don’t think they would stay here for too long. They must be ready to leave Yangzhou at any time, and of course they also need some care.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then, I walked straight outside the door.

It was very quiet inside, without any noise. If I hadn't heard the servant say that he had hardly gone out these days, I would have mistakenly thought that there was no one here.

When I walked to the door, I knocked on the door carefully twice.

Soon, the familiar, somewhat low voice came from inside: "Come in."

I pushed the door and walked in.

This is a cold room like a snow cave.

After hearing Xiao Yusheng's words, Yunxiang also mentioned that he came to this yard and stayed silent. No matter how weak he was, he refused to eat meat and fishy food. Therefore, his condition was a little delayed. It was not until three days later that he finally returned to his usual diet, but his mood was still very depressed.

Xiao Yusheng and Yunxiang didn't understand very much, they just felt that he was too suppressing himself, but after I calculated, I understood.

That was Pei Yuanzhen's first seventh.

But even if he passes Pei Yuanzhen's first seventh, he can't be the one he used to be.

At this moment, I saw the familiar but somewhat unfamiliar back. He was sitting in front of the table, as if looking at himself in the mirror. At first glance, I saw that his silver mask that he had almost never left was taken off and placed on the table at his hand.

Then, as soon as he raised his eyes, he saw me reflected in the mirror.

I also saw him in the mirror, his eyes that looked particularly desolate, although they were so far away, they could see clearly at a glance, blank and empty, with a vast vastness that made people see through at a glance.

Just like this snow cave-like house, it is cold and cold.

At this time, both of them became quiet.

I don’t know how long it took, but he took the mask at hand and quickly put it on his face. Immediately, the pale face in the mirror seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and it seemed like every time in the past, it became cold. Even if he didn’t face it, he could feel the coldness in his eyes that was thousands of miles away.

Then he turned around and looked at me, and greeted me calmly: "Madam, don't be fine."

I also opened my dry lips: "Mr. Liu..."

As soon as I said that, I regretted it.

Because, seeing his pupils flashing slightly, as if they were about to break, he lowered his eyelashes and said, "Madam, I am already an imperial prisoner of the court. The murderer of the eldest princess, no longer has to call me 'Mr.'

I thought about it and said slowly: "Young Master Qinghan."

He nodded gently.

I continued, "But, the young master doesn't have to call me a wife anymore. After all, my husband has married someone else, and I have escaped from Jinling. I can't afford the title of "Madam" either."

He didn't look at me, his lowered eyelashes seemed to be a haze, thick covering his eyes, making me unable to see his emotions at this moment.

After a long time, he said softly: "Miss Qingying."

I nodded.

Then, the two of them became quiet again.

In fact, I have a lot to say to him, and he must have a lot to say to me, but now it seems that something invisible is choking in his throat. When he is facing each other, he can't say a word.

A gust of wind poured into the room from behind me, adding a bit of chill to this room that was originally like a snow cave.

He was dressed thinly, but he seemed to be unable to feel it. Perhaps it was because of somewhere on him, such as the cool breeze and the cold air, but when he saw my pale face, he thought for a while and said, "Madam, let's go out for a walk."

I nodded: "Okay."

Outside, there is sunny place, it seems to be warmer.

None of us spoke, but we didn't leave the house at the same time, but we just walked around in this small yard. The sun shone through the patio, and the sunlight added a hint of warmth to the cool bluestone road under our feet.

It seemed that even the road under my feet was illuminated.

Although the two of them were walking together, they did not move forward side by side. He was walking in front and I walked behind him.

No one spoke, as if he was thinking and brewing, and I gradually realized that every step and every stop was unconsciously falling into an inexplicable rhythm.

When he took a step forward, I happened to step into the invisible footprint he left behind.

Take another step and step in his footsteps.

I raised my head and looked at his broad shoulders and back, which were always as tall as a mountain, but at this moment, I didn't know if it was because he had just recovered from his illness or for some other reason, but I seemed a little hunched, as if there was an invisible mountain pressing on his back.

"light……"

"light……"

The two of them spoke almost at the same time, and his steps stopped and finally stopped.
