After running around for a long time, I finally returned to my boudoir. I should have had a good sleep to relieve the fatigue of many days.

But the night she returned to Xu Mansion, Xu Rongrong slept very uneasily.

Perhaps the fight between the two girls in the evening was so beautiful that Xu Rongrong felt a little unreal.

Or maybe it's what happened in the past six months that is constantly conflicting with her consciousness.

As a result, the terrible nightmare brought her back to the painful memories of her previous life.

She saw Luo Chen, covered with scars, asking for help.

She saw Wen Yao and Luo Shu's ashes placed in front of her.

She listened to Mu Yi's continuous description of the two girls' misery before their deaths.

She had a splitting headache, covered her ears desperately, and kept shouting: "Stop talking, stop talking!"

But Mu Yi didn't seem to hear it. His lips opened and closed as if he was reciting a terrible spell.

Then, she saw Wen Yao and Luo Shu walking towards her. With tears in their eyes, they asked her why she had left them behind.

"I didn't...I didn't...I'm sorry!"

Xu Rongrong shook her head desperately. She wanted to explain loudly, but she couldn't make any sound.

what to do?what to do?She struggled in the nightmare...

Who will help her?Who can come and help her? !

When she was in pain and despair, a ray of warm sunshine shone into her dream, and a soft voice said: "Don't be afraid, Rong Rong, I'm coming."

This voice seemed to have magic power, dispelling the painful faces and past events that caused her.

"Who is it?" Xu Rongrong murmured, and the voice seemed very familiar.

Before she could figure out who it was, she was driven by a warm feeling and fell into a deep sleep.

She finally calmed down, and her frown gradually relaxed.

Mu Rong withdrew the hand that was between her eyebrows and swayed slightly.

Because he was too nervous just now, he consumed too much internal energy, and now he is a little exhausted...

Fortunately, her complexion is gradually returning to normal.

Seeing that there were still wet tears in the corners of her eyes, Mu Rong raised his hand and gently wiped them away for her.

He expected that Xu Chaoqian would conceal the fact of Xu Liu's death, but he was also worried that the man's face would make his little girl feel sad, so he wanted to take advantage of the night to come and have a look.

But just when he reached the window, he heard her helpless cry. He was so panicked that he couldn't care about anything and jumped in through the window.

At that time, she was trapped in a nightmare.

So, he immediately activated his inner strength to drive away those things that made her uneasy.

Thinking of her helpless look just now, his heart was as sharp as a knife.

If he had known this, he would have handed Xu Liu's body directly to Xu Chaoqian!

No matter what shameless plan that person makes, he will never make his little girl angry.

"Don't feel bad, I'll take it out on you." He murmured.

The night was already very late and it was inconvenient for him to stay here.

After tucking her up again, he was about to turn around and leave, but the girl suddenly grabbed his hand.

Xu Rongrong was still sleeping. She held a "warm object" and pulled it hard into her arms.

Mu Rong's entire arm was held firmly by her.

Mu Rong: "..."

It was absolutely impossible to pull away now, so he had to lower himself down so that his little girl could be held more comfortably.

At this time, Xu Rongrong was no longer as cold and distant as when she met Xu Chaoqian in the afternoon.

There is tranquility in the corner of the eyes and a hint of playfulness in the eyebrows.

This is what a girl should look like.

He simply lay on the bedside, his eyes tracing her sleeping face bit by bit.

How can he, Mu Rong, be such a beautiful girl?I could be protected by her in my previous life.

He watched quietly, tenderness and exhaustion came over him at the same time, and he fell asleep in the girl's fragrance.

……

During this sleep, Xu Rongrong slept until daylight.

When Wen Yao came to help his lady wash up, he saw Xu Rongrong's angry face:

"Why didn't you come and call me! Today is the New Year's Eve. If you don't give out New Year's gifts to everyone, it will be too late!"

Sending New Year's gifts to various places during the holidays is a common way for nobles in the capital to maintain relationships.

Xu Liu usually handles this matter. She has no intention of teaching Xu Rongrong housekeeping, so naturally she will not tell her these rules.

Xu Mansion is now headed by Xu Rongrong. Although she has experienced it in two lives, this is the first time this kind of thing has happened to her.

Although she had only one female dependent in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion in her previous life, because the clan was so involved, Mu Yi had always been responsible for etiquette matters.

She wanted to get up early today and carefully study the gift lists from each government, but she was delayed by going to bed.

Seeing that his young lady's face was red with anger, Wen Yao smiled and said: "My lady has not been able to sleep well all night while she is away, so when I see you sleeping soundly, I can't bear to wake you up. As for the New Year's gift... so early in the morning Yi Changshi from the Hou Mansion came here and brought a gift list commonly used by nobles in the capital. My servant drew up one based on it. Miss, can you take a look?"

After speaking, she handed the gift list to Xu Rongrong.

Xu Rongrong was a little surprised: Mu Yi came to help with the New Year's ceremony?

Is this his instruction?

Her eyes flashed, and she unfolded the two gift lists and took a closer look: they were indeed appropriate.

There were not many people coming and going from the Xu Mansion, most of them were officials of the same rank as before the Xu Dynasty, so Wen Yao prepared the gift list according to the gift list provided by Mu Yi.

Xiao Ling'er has been on good terms with Xu Rongrong since she met the Xiao family at the Chinese Valentine's Day banquet. Mrs. Xiao also rescued Xu Rongrong in Shaohua Nunnery, so Wen Yao filled in another annual gift from the Xiao family.

Xu Rongrong nodded and praised: "The preparations are excellent. I didn't expect Wen Yao to be so housekeeper-like."

"Miss teased slave." Wen Yao blushed.

Xu Rongrong smiled and handed over the gift list: "Everything is well prepared here, and I will also add one to Mr. Lu's house."

She was talking about Lu Zhi, Minister of Industry.

Wen Yao said strangely: "Miss, after the New Year's gifts are given out, every government has to give gifts in return. Mr. Lu..."

Lu Zhi was Xu Chaoqian's immediate superior, so it would be inappropriate to give gifts to his subordinates in return. But if he gave them without a return gift, wouldn't it look like the Xu family's superior was rushing to curry favor?

"It doesn't matter." Xu Rongrong said with a smile, "Just send it over in the name of Ping'an County Lord."

In her previous life, Mr. Lu and his wife took good care of her. In this life, she had the royal doctor come to her home many times to treat her illness.

To her, Mr. Lu's family is more like her elders. What's wrong with the younger generation giving them a New Year's gift?

But what she didn't expect was that this move would cause a storm in the house.

Before noon, Butler Xu and his servant set off from the Xu Mansion to deliver gifts.

As soon as he turned out of the alley, Xu Chaoqian limped into the house.

Today is New Year's Eve, and all government offices have been sealed in advance. He has nothing to do, so he goes home on duty. Yesterday, he spent the night worrying about Xu Liu's affairs, and now he is sleepy. Just when he wanted to take a nap in the study, Xu Yaoyao coming.

The second young lady of the Xu family, who was too sick to get out of bed yesterday, now had a calculating light in her eyes.

After the father and daughter murmured inside for a while, Xu Chaoqian called Xu Dong in: "Go! Call the eldest lady over here!"

Xu Chaoqian was so angry when he spoke that Xu Dong was so flustered that he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly ran to Wutong Courtyard to deliver the message.

Xu Rongrong and Wen Yao were preparing things for entering the palace in the evening. When they saw Xu Dong coming over to invite her in a hurry, they were a little confused.

But when Xu Dong mentioned that Xu Yaoyao was also in the study, she became interested.

She wanted to see what kind of trouble the father and daughter were going to cause.

In the study room, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Xu Chaoqian's face was gloomy, while Xu Yaoyao looked sickly.

"Isn't the second sister sick? Why didn't she stay in her room in such a cold weather and come to the study? What should she do if her illness spreads to her father?"

"Thank you for your concern, eldest sister. I took two doses of medicine yesterday and am feeling much better, so I thought of coming to pay my respects to my father." Xu Yaoyao spoke softly and weakly.

Xu Rongrong stopped caring about her and just looked at Xu Chaoqian: "Father called my daughter over. What's the matter?"

Xu Chaoqian threw the New Year's gift list in front of her: "Did you arrange these?"

Xu Rongrong glanced at the gift list and said coldly: "My daughter can't see clearly."

Xu Chaoqian: "..."

He was about to reprimand, but when he saw Xu Rongrong's expression, he remembered the inexplicable chill when she was angry yesterday, so he cleared his throat: "Second sister, pick it up and show it to your eldest sister."

Xu Yaoyao looked weak and was waiting to watch the show: "..."
