"Yue Liaoliao, you're dead!" She had let her off once after being called stupid, but today she implied something again.

"I was wrong!"

"I was wrong, my dear senior sister!"

Seeing Murong Xihe was about to attack, Yue Liaoliao immediately apologized and dodged her attack.

Both of them were drenched by the rain, but they were laughing happily. It had been a long time since they had played in the rain like this.

"What's wrong?" Murong Xihe had no intention of letting Yue Liaoliao go.

In the rain, they started fighting.

The old housekeeper came over and saw the two children playing, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Is there any more ginger soup in the kitchen?" the old butler asked the servant behind him. "Butler, we need a lot more!" the servant replied to the butler.

"Go prepare some. The two ladies will need some ginger soup as a precaution after getting caught in the rain!"

"Yes, butler."

The old butler did not step forward to intervene, but turned and left.

In his eyes, these are just children.

Also returning with Shen Yunhe was Li Ling. He had been with Shen Yunhe in the northwest for these days and was always thinking about Ning Ruo's safety.

It was raining. After stepping into the yard, I saw Ning Ruo embroidering something in the pavilion, with tea brewing beside her.

Since losing her inner strength, Ning Ruo has become much gentler. She started learning needlework and would embroider clothes when she had nothing to do.

Although Li Ling was holding an umbrella, the rain was so heavy that he was completely soaked.

Ning Ruo seemed to feel someone coming in and looked up, "Are you back?" Ning Ruo immediately put down the embroidery in her hand, a smile on her face.

Li Ling came in with an umbrella and a gentle smile.

"Are you all wet?" Ning Ruo noticed that Li Ling was soaked. "Go change your clothes first, I'll go boil some water for you!" Ning Ruo was about to prepare clean clothes for Li Ling. "Don't bother, I can do it myself. Are you not well yet?" Li Ling was reluctant to let her do these chores.

Ning Ruo held Li Ling's hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll go get you some hot water, it'll be fine soon!"

"Didn't we hire someone to take care of you? Why do you still have to do things by yourself?" Li Ling said worriedly. Since he left the imperial city, all his confidants were freed, and he had no one available around him. Before leaving, he hired a few people to serve Ning Ruo.

Ning Ruo explained to Li Ling: "It's raining today, so I asked them to go back. Anyway, they won't go out today, so they'll just stay in the yard."

"I will take care of myself. I'll give Grandma and Lin Yi a day off. They've been taking care of me lately and they're very tired. It's rare that it's raining today..."

"Okay, I get it!" Li Ling knew that Ning Ruo was afraid that he would be angry because she had no one to take care of her, so he held Ning Ruo's hand and said, "Aruo, I'm just afraid that something might happen to you alone, I'm not really angry."

"I know, but I'm fine now!"

Li Ling stared at Ning Ruo, but she still didn't take it to heart.

Seeing the serious expression on his face, Ning Ruo shook Li Ling's hand and said, "Hurry up and change your clothes first, or you will catch a cold! I'll make you some ginger soup!"

Li Ling didn't say anything, watching Ning Ru turn around and go back to the room to get clothes for him.

He looked towards the kitchen and went there consciously.

After Ning Ruo prepared the clothes and placed them in a conspicuous place, she said, "I've put the clothes for you, hurry up...!"

Before he could finish his words, he saw that there was no one in the corridor of the yard. He heard some noise in the kitchen, so he looked over and saw Li Ling making a fire.

"The fire is ready. I'll put on clean clothes and boil some hot water later. Don't move!" Li Ling was covered in dust and looked very disheveled.

Ning Ruo looked at him and saw that he was obviously so tired to rush back, but he still wanted to help her.

Li Ling didn't wait for Ning Ruo's response and went in to change clothes.

Ning Ruo saw that the fire in the kitchen was already lit and thought about adding some water first, and had already forgotten what Li Ling said.

Li Ling changed his clothes and came out. Seeing Ning Ruo in the kitchen, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed the basin of water from her hand. "Let me do it! You go and take a rest."

Ning Ruo saw him rushing to work and smiled helplessly. She walked behind Li Ling and sat aside to watch his skillful movements.

With his hands on his knees, he asked curiously, "Did you do a lot of work in the northwest these days?"

"Not really, it's just that when taking care of the injured, many things need to be done personally!" Li Ling answered Ning Ruo while working seriously.

Ning Ruo heard that he had done so much by himself, and asked worriedly: "You went there and were ordered to do odd jobs?"

When Li Ling heard Ning Ruo ask this, he immediately put down what he was doing, sat beside Ning Ruo, looked at her and said, "In the army, there are often not enough people, and Shen Yunhe would sometimes come down to take care of the wounded in person. During this time, I learned how to do a lot of things, and I often cooked and boiled water!"

Ning Ruo asked again: "Do you feel bitter?"

Li Ling shook his head and replied: "No, this is what a man should do."

Ning Ruo saw Li Ling's original demeanor on his face. He had been lurking in the palace for many years, disguised for many years, and taking that drug for many years.

He had already been injured, but he still had to follow Shen Yunhe to march and fight.

Looking at Li Ling, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Aruo, don't worry! I'll be fine." Li Ling saw Ning Ruo staring at him in a daze and thought she must be worried.

Ning Ruo leaned on Li Ling's shoulder.

The two put their hands together and held them tightly. "I'm not worried about you. I believe in you!"

Li Ling hugged Ning Ruo. This was her scent. Returning to Ning Ruo's side, he felt much more at ease.

"How many days will you stay this time?" Ning Ruo suddenly asked when she was returning the greeting.

Li Ling said: "About two or three days. Yunhe came back for inspection. General An was given a title by the court and is now also the general of the southern border. Yunhe came back to help her and take a look at the deployment of the three cities in the southern border."

Ning Ruo looked up at Li Ling, a little disappointed, and asked, "So short?"

Li Ling smiled and said to Ning Ruo, "In the northwest, we are facing Jinda, a country of fierce grassland generals. We must not be careless! The King of Bei'an has been acting strangely recently. I'm afraid he will start a war. Yunhe is also worried that they will attack the southern border, so he came back to check. I'll follow you back to see how you are doing recently."

"I'm fine. My junior sister often comes to chat with me. My senior brothers from the academy often come to sit with me when they have nothing to do. They come from Hanya Academy very quickly, coming in the morning and leaving in the evening."

Ning Ruo talked about what happened to her recently, "I have been fed by my senior brothers and sisters recently. My junior sister herself is weak, so she often sends people to deliver some useful things. I am fine, don't worry!"

Seeing Ning Ruo say this, Li Ling saw joy on her face. Ever since Ning Ruo lost her inner strength, she had no friends when she was with him.

The smile on her face now was the same as before.

"I feel relieved to see that you are doing well!" Li Ling still felt very uncomfortable and felt that he was sorry for Ning Ruo.

Ning Ruo noticed his emotions, covered Li Ling's face, and comforted him: "Not only do I want to live a good life, but I also want you to live a good life. We want to live a good life together."

Li Ling smiled.

She continued to lean on Li Ling's shoulder and closed her eyes.

The two of them sat together by the fireplace. It was raining in spring and the temperature was still a little cold, so it was nice to sit by the fireplace.

Li Ling also put his face against Ning Ruo's head.

After they came back, the rain kept falling and never stopped.

At night.

Shen Yunhe lit a lamp in the room. The sound of raindrops could be heard. It was so quiet that he really wanted to sleep.

He looked at the official documents that had accumulated over the past few days. Although Tian Yi usually assisted An Ruyuan in reviewing them, An Ruyuan was new in office after all, and often couldn't do things perfectly, so he needed to review them all.

Wei Weishengci was resting in the bedroom, while Shen Yunhe lit the light in the room outside and carefully reviewed the documents.

I don’t know how long it had passed, Wei Shengci woke up in a daze, opened his eyes, and the faint light made Wei Shengci sober instantly.

I turned over and wanted to hug Shen Yunhe, but found that there was no one around me.

Wei Shengci saw Shen Yunhe get up from the bed, put on a coat, and opened the bedroom door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Shen Yunhe sitting at the desk, carefully reviewing official documents.

Wei Shengci stared at Shen Yunhe's serious expression and was a little dazed for a moment.

His hair was not tied up, and it was in a loose state. The light shone on his face, and his facial features were just soft and beautiful. He was wearing a white inner garment, and from a distance he looked like a woman, but he still had a masculine temperament. Wei Shengci took a deep breath.

He turned around and went back to the room, took a cloak and came out.
