"Xi'er..." Looking at the married Shen Xixi in front of him, Shen Qing was filled with emotions and couldn't help but miss his brother.

"Third uncle, long time no see. How is everything?"

"Everything is fine, Xi'er, how have you been these past few years?"

"It's very good. I just miss my family. My third uncle has loved me since I was a child. Xi'er misses me very much."

Never mentioning what happened in Zuiyin Tower, Shen Xixi's eyes flickered slightly, as if she was seeing her relatives.

"You suffered a lot. Back then... my third uncle had no choice. He has been looking for you all these years."

Slowly approaching Shen Xixi, Shen Qing sighed, stretched out a big hand and put it on the girl's weak shoulder, with soft and kind eyes.

"Xi'er knows and has never blamed Third Uncle. It's just... Third Uncle, my father was killed by an adulterer and he died for complaining. Xi'er is a child, but she can't avenge her father. It's really a waste of her life."

Gently avoiding Shen Qing's touch, Shen Xixi's clear eyes were filled with sadness, and two lines of clear tears slowly fell down.

"Third uncle knows, don't worry, third uncle will definitely avenge your father, but... Xi'er, this is a serious matter, and we need to consider it in the long term."

"In this way, Third Uncle will send someone to pick you up home in two days, and we will discuss it carefully then."

"Okay, Xi'er knows."

The servants of the Cui Mansion kept passing by, and for fear of attracting attention, Shen Qing hurriedly told her a few words and comforted her, then stood up and left.

Seeing Shen Qing leave, Shen Xixi took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on her cheeks, and her eyes slowly turned cold when she looked at Shen Qing.

"Who is where?" Outside the rockery, two servants patrolling outside heard some movement and shouted towards the rockery.

"..." Seeing the footsteps getting closer to her, Shen Xixi took a breath and tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

The first time he came to the Cui Mansion, he rashly came to the backyard, which was unreasonable and would definitely cause dissatisfaction with the Cui Mansion and Fu Youxing.

"...Who, come out!" When no one responded, the servant raised his voice. Among them, the tall one held a stick in his hand and slowly approached the rockery to check the situation.

Sensing someone approaching, Shen Xixi quietly approached the rocks, squatted on the ground, and quickly thought of ways to escape.

There was only one exit, and it was blocked by two people. There were only rocks around, and there was no hiding place at all.

Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Shen Xixi closed her eyes in resignation...

"Is there anyone there?" Outside the rockery, the thin man who was waiting called out when he saw the big man standing inside with a stupid forehead, and there was no movement for a long time.

"It's okay, it's a cat." He looked around, but there was nothing. He pushed aside the rocks on the ground and saw a tabby cat lying there. The tall man breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and shouted.

"Come on, the master's study is in trouble, hurry up and help!" When he heard that nothing happened, the thin man urged, and the two of them left.

"Sister... still not letting go?" At the hole at the top of the rockery, where the flowers were covered with ivy, Ji Wuhen lowered her long eyelashes and peered at the kitten grabbing her collar, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Wuhen... girl, why are you here?" Seeing the people from Cui Mansion leaving, Shen Xixi relaxed, slowly exhaled the turbid air in her chest, and looked sideways at the person who helped her.

"Hmm...Sister, if you don't let go, your clothes will be torn." Ji Wuhen responded lazily, and his red lips moved slightly, his voice was charming and sweet.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I was nervous just now, so... ah!" He saw that what he was holding in his hand was girl Wuhen's clothes. Because he was too nervous just now, the collar had been pulled wide open by himself, exposing the inside. Shen Xixi's delicate white collarbone turned red, and she quickly let go.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he let go, his body would involuntarily droop and almost fall on the rocks on the ground.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a big hand appeared on the waist and pulled her into Leng Xiang's arms.

"Sister...really...don't want to leave me." The woman in his arms was incredibly soft, as if it would break if he exerted any force. Smelling the familiar hidden fragrance on the woman's body, Ji Wuhen's eyes flashed with soft light.

"No... I really didn't mean it." Faced with such a situation, Shen Xixi, who had always been calm, was at a loss at this moment.

Just when she thought she was finished, a figure in red clothes appeared in front of her eyes. Before she could see it clearly, Shen Xixi's body moved slightly, causing her to close her eyes in fear.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already far away from the ground and sitting on a beam full of ivy.

"Shh,...it doesn't matter,...I also like my sister very much." Ji Wuhen stretched out his finger and gently placed it between the bright red lips, Ji Wuhen's voice was low, and his lazy eyes were like clear springs, with ripples.

"Thank you Miss Wuhen for saving me. The banquet is not over yet and Xi'er has to go back. Could you please Miss Wuhen to send me down?"

Shuddered by the warmth on her lips, Shen Xixi's eyes suddenly became extremely clear. Thinking that she had been out for a long time, there was pleading in her eyes.

"...Okay!" Sensing Shen Xixi's distant attitude, Ji Wuhen tightened his hold on her waist, her wide sleeves and robe fluttered slightly, and in the blink of an eye the two of them landed firmly on the ground.

"Thank you. It's getting late. Xi'er will leave first. Cui Mansion has a lot of things to do today. Miss Wuhen should return home early."

As soon as she landed, Shen Xixi stood up quickly and opened the distance between the two. Thinking that she could appear in the backyard of Cui Mansion without anyone noticing, Shen Xixi looked at Ji Wuhen with alert eyes.

"Ah."

Looking at Shen Xixi's big twinkling eyes with interest, Ji Wuhen nodded his head respectfully.

"Goodbye~"

Worried that Fu Youxing was in a hurry, Shen Xixi turned around and walked towards the banquet without further delay.

Walking out of the rockery, facing the dazzling and hot sunshine outside, Shen Xixi paused slightly and slowly turned her head.

Behind him, the bright red still stood there, his eyes burning, buried in the shadows, blending into the darkness.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Xixi's eyes were firm, her steps increased, and she escaped from here...

……

When they returned to their seats, the banquet was coming to an end, and one after another the guests came over to say goodbye to the old lady. Seeing her figure, Fu Youxing also put down his wine glass and walked towards her.

"Old madam, it's getting late, so I'll say goodbye before we go."

Walking to Mrs. Cui, Fu Youxing bowed deeply, then came to Shen Xixi and helped her stand up.

"Xi'er, it will subside in a few days. I will ask someone to pick you up."

Outside Cui Mansion, the old lady stood on the steps, holding Shen Xixi's hand tightly, and kept mumbling that it was rare to have a junior that she could like, and he would leave in just a moment.

"Don't worry, mother, my daughter-in-law will definitely invite Xi'er over in a few days." Xu Qingruo on the side joked with a smile when she saw that her mother-in-law liked Shen Xixi.

"Okay, Xi'er will be waiting for the old lady at home." With a naughty smile at the old lady, Shen Xixi raised three fingers and promised again and again.

"Okay, let's go!"

"Goodbye!"

As the carriage approached, Fu Youxing said goodbye to everyone with a smile, helped Shen Xixi get into the carriage first, and followed closely behind.

"Xi'er, how do you know that Mrs. Cui likes to practice Buddhism?" In the carriage, Fu Youxing couldn't help but be curious when thinking of the birthday gift prepared by Shen Xixi.

"Xi'er guessed that my mother is a good Buddha. Xi'er thought that older people would probably like her, so she was ready." Faced with Fu Youxing's doubtful look, Shen Xixi smiled softly.

"Oh, that's it. Xi'er has suffered a lot for my husband these days, and my husband will definitely compensate you." Thinking of everything Shen Xixi had done for him, Fu Youxing sat next to her and took her into his arms.

"Xi'er doesn't ask for anything. She just wants everything to go smoothly for her husband and a safe life." Shen Xixi leaned on Fu Youxing's shoulder obediently, murmuring softly and affectionately.

Fu Youxing above was very moved at this moment. Although he married her for the token at first, at this moment, Fu Youxing was deeply touched in his heart. He would do his best to protect Xi'er's safety.
