The days that followed were like the surging rivers under your feet, passing away without looking back.

Time passed day by day, the weather became colder and colder, and the chill in the river breeze became deeper and deeper. We all changed into thick fur clothes. If we wanted to go to the deck to see the scenery, Pei Yuanxiu would definitely put on a strong wind. Every time we felt the river breeze flying in the corners of the clothes, it seemed as if we were about to be blown away by the wind.

Every time this time, Pei Yuanxiu would stand behind me and gently support my arm with both hands.

Although his clothes were thick, the temperature in his palm seemed to be unblocked. He quickly ironed my skin through layers of clothes. The warmth was irresistible and even more irresistible.

In such warmth, the weather is slowly getting warmer.

Of course it was not a change in the solar term. On the contrary, it was already November, but our ship gradually left the cold and humid Xichuan and entered the warm and pleasant Jiangnan.

The day we arrived in Jinling was a very good day.

From afar, I could see crowds of people on the dock, and justice-oriented warriors standing on it. In front of the fierce warriors were two slender and graceful figures, all of whom were looking forward to it.

It is Han Ruoshi and Han Zitong.

Of course they are.

I stood on the plywood at the high bow and recognized them at a glance. Han Ruoshi waved at us gently. Although she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, she could also imagine the pleasant smile on her fair and thin face.

As for Han Zitong, I can imagine her impatience and coldness.

I felt the hull tremble, and the sound of the boatmen talking loudly suddenly sounded on the dock, and the boat landed.

The wide and strong sampan boarded the dock, and I led Li'er and walked up with Pei Yuanxiu.

I have been on the boat for more than a month. Although there is nothing wrong with it, I am not down-to-earth and always gives people a feeling of erraticity. Now I have finally gotten ashore and stepped on the solid land, and finally gives people a feeling of ease. I breathed a sigh of relief, and when I looked up, I saw that all the Han sisters came up.

The two sisters were standing side by side, but when they walked up together, they were about to walk in front of Pei Yuanxiu, Han Zitong's steps suddenly stopped.

Also walking forward, she seemed to take a step back. Han Ruoshi walked to Pei Yuanxiu first. She was in poor health and gasped slightly, but she still said softly: "Young Master, are you - okay?"

Perhaps because the weather was too cold, the cold wind made her eyes and nose red, and her eyes became more and more shiny. When she looked up at people, she felt even more pity for me. Pei Yuanxiu looked down at her and said with a smile: "We are very good, don't worry. Li'er is back."

"You've been walking for half a year, I can-"

She only said half of the words, as if she couldn't continue to say them, and she choked up slightly.

Han Zitong was only standing behind her sister at this time and looked up at Pei Yuanxiu.

He lowered his head at just one glance.

Li'er stood beside me, and one hand was still held tightly by me. For some reason, when she saw this scene, she seemed to be quiet for a moment, blinking her big eyes.

I calmed down and smiled and said, "Miss Ruoshi, Miss Zitong."

The two of them immediately turned their heads and looked at me.

A gentle smile as soft as water appeared on Han Ruoshi's face, and she walked over and said, "Sister Qingying, you are back, we miss you."

I smiled and nodded, and didn't look at Han Zitong's cold expression behind her that was completely inconsistent with her words. I even rolled my eyes at me without any hesitation, but when I saw Li'er, Han Zitong's face still showed a look of concern. She walked over and squatted down: "Li'er, you're back."

Li'er whispered: "Aunt Zitong."

"Where have you been going these days? Do you know that Aunt Zitong is worried about you?"

Li'er pursed her lips: "Li'er knows that she is wrong."

Li'er grew up by their side. Han Zitong had never seen her look so gentle, and she would admit her mistakes without anyone scolding her. She couldn't believe her eyes and looked at Li'er in surprise, as if she didn't know the child in front of her.

Sometimes it takes several years to grow up, and sometimes it only takes a moment. Li'er has experienced too many things during the period of leaving Jinling, and even first realized the taste of love. Even on the boat back this time, she experienced several "great sorrow and joy", she lost a few teeth and grew a few more teeth. Now she can deal with it calmly, but it is different from the daughter who was completely ignorant of the feeling of sorrow before.

After a while, Han Zitong said in surprise: "Li'er, have you changed your teeth?"

"Did Li'er change his teeth?"

Han Ruoshi squatted down and looked carefully, immediately laughed and said, "Oh, our Li'er has grown up."

Li'er pursed her lips, as if she was a little shy, and just smiled.

Pei Yuanxiu walked over at this time and said, "It's very windy here, let's go back to the house first. Something happened recently, so I'll tell you something."

Everyone nodded and got on the carriage they prepared.

When we returned to our mansion, Butu came up to invite An as soon as we entered the door, and then called Pei Yuanxiu aside.

Of course I knew that I had been away for half a year, and there must have been a lot of major issues here that he had to deal with, so I didn't say much. After hearing his advice, I took Li'er to the inner courtyard.

When I opened the courtyard door, the familiar scenery immediately came into my eyes. The lush green bamboo forest, the crystal dew on the bamboo leaves, and the bluestone path soaked by the dew were exactly the same as before we left.

Everything is as usual.

When I pushed open the door, nothing inside changed.

Even the floor was clean, the bed was hanging down, and the whole room was as quiet as a painting.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I walked in with Li'er, subconsciously reached out and swept across the table, without even a trace of dust. Then I smiled and said to the maid who was following us, "Thank you for your hard work."

The maid said in fear and trepidation: "I dare not. This is all arranged by Miss Ruoshi every day."

"oh?"

"Madam, Miss Ruoshi has asked us to prepare hot water for our wife. Is Madam going to take a shower now?"

“…”

I paused for a moment and smiled and said, "Since you have arranged it, then go."

Han Ruoshi probably had a long time in charge of the family, so everything was arranged properly. I took Li'er to wash up and thoroughly cleanse the dust on his body along the way. Many soups and medicines were added to the warm bath soup. The slight fragrance of medicine made people want to sleep. After a while, Li'er fell asleep in the bath.

I asked someone to pick her up, wipe it clean, and then sent it back to her own room to let her have a good sleep. Of course, I didn't forget to remind them that I would take good care of Miss Li this time.

And myself, I went back to the bath and soaked for a while.

This time, it’s not that I like to soak, but that I have to explain what happened in more than half a year. It will definitely take a long time. If I want to go back to the house and lie down in vain, I will probably feel bored again, so I can just soak for a while.

However, I overestimated my physical strength a little.

The steam steam steam in the bathtub was originally suffocating and powerless, and the dispersed fragrance of medicine made people calm down. I don’t know how long this bubble took, and I fell asleep in the bathtub.

I leaned against the bath pool, my eyes closed slightly, and the temperature of the bath soup slightly higher than my body temperature mixed with the fragrance of Chinese medicine, forming an almost psychedelic dream. The rippling waves in front of me were like fish jumping in the river water, and silver scales were flying and floating in the air.

At this moment, I felt a hurricane hit, and the boat under my feet suddenly shaking, almost knocking me down.

I opened my eyes all at once.

The one who faced him was Pei Yuanxiu smiling, slightly bent his eyes, and he said gently: "Have you woken up?"

“…”

I was still a little blurred, and I couldn't recover for a while. I just felt my whole body swaying and muttered "Oh" sound.

He smiled, and as soon as he tried his best to hear the sound of water, he heard the sound of rustling water.

I was shocked and woke up immediately. Then I realized that he was being carried away from the bathtub. As soon as my body left the warm bathtub, a chill suddenly came, which made me shudder. When I looked down, I saw that I was wet and only had a thin long towel on it.

"Ah!" I yelled softly and hurriedly hugged myself.

He laughed and said, "Why are you so afraid just now? Look, you are not as sensible as Li'er, but you actually fell asleep in the bath."

I couldn't help but blushed, and then said softly: "Why are you here?"

"I finished talking to them and went back to the house and waited for a long time. I didn't see you back, so I came to find you."

As he said, he hugged me and sat down on the couch in a corner of the room. I was about to stand up in a hurry, but he grabbed his wrist and pulled it gently. Perhaps because he had been soaking in the bathtub for too long, his hands and feet were weak, and he suddenly became soft in his arms.

He smiled and hugged me, saying, "Why is it so useless?"

I also felt useless, my face turned red, and my soft hands gently pushed him: "You, let me go first-"

But before I finished speaking, I felt that my hands holding me were exerting force, and I couldn't help but resist. I looked up and was about to say something, Pei Yuanxiu lowered his head and kissed me.

"Um……"

The air between the two people suddenly became hot.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and a maid respectfully said at the door: "Young Master, Madam."

“…”

His eyebrows frowned slightly, and then he slowly raised his head, with a hint of impatient expression on his face.

"What's up?"

"Miss Ruoshi has prepared a dinner party and invites the young master and his wife to the banquet."

“…”
