When Caiwei took a breath, we quickly left the teahouse. I also listened to Liu Qinghan's words and went to the old tooth shop to change the time. Although this made the boss a little embarrassed, I gave him some more money and asked them to wait for me at the entrance of Jixiang Village at the latest at You hour. The boss collected the money and immediately went to dispatch it with a smile.

Then, Liu Qinghan and I took Caiwei and soon returned to Jixiang Village.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Xiao Yusheng sitting at the stone table in the corner of the yard drinking tea. He was still as quiet and elegant as ever. He just looked at this "uncompetitive" Senior Brother Liu, and he felt a little angry.

But he came over immediately and saluted me and him.

Then, I saw Caiwei, who was following behind us, and immediately frowned: "Who is she?"

Liu Qinghan said: "I will tell you about this later. Let's go and clean up first."

"Um?"

"bring it on."

He patted Xiao Yusheng on the shoulder with one hand, then turned around and ordered a guard on the other side to go to the east of the village to find Mrs. Yunxiang, who often comes here, to help.

I nodded to him, and then the two of them went to work separately. I took Caiwei upstairs and entered my room. She was still a little restless. After all, her body was covered in mud and it was not easy to dye my mattress black. Fortunately, Yunxiang rushed over in a short while. As soon as she went upstairs, she seemed to feel that the atmosphere of these people here was not right. She was about to ask me, but I had already pulled her to help, got some hot water for Caiwei, and brought two sets of changing clothes. When Caiwei was left alone in the room to clean, we were standing in the corridor. Yunxiang frowned and asked me: "What's going on? Why do you guys seem--"

I didn't hide it from her: "We're leaving soon."

"What?!"

Her eyes widened and she grabbed my arm: "So quickly?"

"Originally they had booked tonight, and I planned to stay one more night in the end and leave tomorrow, but now it seems that it may not work."

"Why?"

I told her about Caiwei's identity, her current situation, and Liu Qinghan's concerns. Yunxiang felt cold sweat flowing out and said, "That's to say, maybe that man, will he come to catch you back?"

"I'm afraid yes."

When I said this, I smiled faintly.

This man is so different from Pei Yuanhao, but maybe he really spent the same years together in the cold and towering imperial city. Although they are hostile to each other, they have too many similarities. Pei Yuanhao once told me clearly that I cannot leave him, even if I die, even the body belongs to him; while Pei Yuanxiu, he has been countless times. When I was most vulnerable, most confused, and most helpless, he clearly let me call his name and imprint it in my heart. He has also told me countless times that I belong to him, and he belongs to him alone.

I don't want to bet on his magnanimity and his kindness.

Yunxiang looked at me with a complicated expression and said, "Then, you really have to leave quickly!"

"Um."

"Then, are you going to go with your third brother?"

I glanced at her, was silent for a moment, and shook my head.

Yunxiang didn't seem to be too surprised, but the clearly hurt expression in her eyes was clearly visible, and she looked at me with a little sadness: "You two are going to separate?"

“…”

"Why?"

“…”

"You have left that man now, he, he—" She seemed to realize that some words could not be said, and it was a disrespect to the deceased. She swallowed it, but she still said with regret: "Why? Can't you be together?"

Looking at her regretful expression, it seemed that she was the only one who would really regret it for me and Liu Qinghan, because she watched her growth in this relationship, including our encounter, getting along, getting married, and even later I returned to Jixiang Village again and lived with my past memories. She was also with me. Maybe she might not understand our feelings very much, but she knew how many difficulties and difficulties there were.

However, no matter how difficult it is or how difficult it is... we must not let go.

After all, there are too many people and things between me and him, and I know very well. He has just experienced the pain of losing his wife, so he cannot accept me without any grudges. Just like in the market in Qishan Village today, although he has been with me, helping me choose clothes and get things, he has never touched me at all. Even when he gets a little closer to me, he will leave and keep us apart.

At least in the short term, he can't let go of Pei Yuanzhen.

And I have come to this point today, and I have taken a lot of light on some things.

I have no regrets about having a happy experience with him today, but I have to let me talk about love and even marry again... I don't think I still have that ability.

My heart is not dead, but it is already withered.

My two husbands, Pei Yuanhao and Pei Yuanxiu, were not so easy to let go of me. Their shadows were always in my heart, entangled like nightmare. Even if I escape to the ends of the world, I could not get rid of it.

I understand better that this moment is not even the time when we can talk about the long love between children.

He had to go to Xichuan to take over Yan Qinghan's family business, and form his own between Xichuan and the court, Xichuan and Jiangnan, which was enough to check and balance the forces of all parties.

As for me...my daughter is still by the emperor's side.

Thinking of this, I smiled faintly and said, "Do you know that being able to love someone without any worries is a great blessing."

“…”

"But not everyone has such a blessing."

“…”

"To this day, the responsibilities he and I have shouldered are greater than blessings."

Hearing me say this, Yunxiang's eyes were just red, and tears immediately burst out at this moment, and she was even caught off guard. She bit her lower lip tightly, but she could no longer control her voice and choked up: "Why, why are you here to this day?"

“…”

"How great it was when you and him were still in the village..."

When I heard her words, my heart lake, which was already calm, seemed to have been thrown into a stone, and ripples immediately appeared.

At this time, in the small yard downstairs, the man seemed to have explained something to Xiao Yusheng. At this moment, Xiao Yusheng had already gone down immediately and told the people below to prepare. When he walked into the yard and was about to return to his room, he suddenly felt something and looked up at us.

In the sun, the face, which was half covered by the cold mask, seemed to condense another layer of frost.

I smiled faintly.
