Yao's house.

The moon was hanging high in the sky. Qing He couldn't sleep, so she walked to the swing in the yard and sat on it to admire the moon.

She stared blankly at the bright moon in the sky, thinking that time passed so quickly and Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching again in the blink of an eye.

At this time last year, I was still busy embroidering a screen with flowers and butterflies for Mrs. Lin, while my younger brothers and sisters wanted to eat mooncakes with pine nut and lotus seed paste filling and braised duck and roast goose.

She worked hard for several days, getting up early and going to bed late, and finally got her wages before the Mid-Autumn Festival. When she came back from the county town, she bought moon cakes and cooked and braised food, and the whole family had a reunion Mid-Autumn Festival.

But I'm afraid I'll have to spend this year with my younger brothers and sisters...

I wonder if Jingying will take this opportunity to rekindle her relationship with Mr. Jiang...

They are actually quite a good match. Not only do they come from similar backgrounds, but they are also very good-looking.

The most important thing is that Jingying's heart is tightly wrapped around Mr. Jiang!

If I don't go back, the two of us will play a song together under the moonlight. That scene will be so warm and sweet. I guess we might be able to get back together...

When Qing He thought of this, she couldn't help but sigh softly. She felt that being a human was really boring. She might as well be a flower or a plant, carefree and free...

Suddenly the swing began to shake, Qinghe was so scared that she thought it was haunted!

She quickly looked back and was stunned!

Jiang Yaonian had arrived at some point and was now standing quietly behind her, pushing the swing!

Qing He was so frightened that she covered her chest and frowned, saying angrily: "I'm scared to death! Why are you walking without making any noise?"

Jiang Yaonian looked at her silently without saying anything.

He had been here for quite a while, but she didn't notice because she was preoccupied with something else. She was just sighing at the moon with a sad face and didn't notice that there was someone behind her.

Qinghe stood up from the swing without saying a word and went back to the house.

Jiang Yaonian followed in.

The two sat side by side on the bed, and no one spoke for a while.

After a while, Qing He was the first to break the silence and asked, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Yaonian took out a sachet from his arms and asked, "Did you put this in my drawer?"

Qinghe took it and looked at it carefully, and recognized it at once that this was the one that Jingying asked her to help embroider!

Qing He held the sachet in silence, feeling a surge of bitterness, sweetness, and pain in her heart...

She could now understand Jingying's feelings at that time to a certain extent. She must have hated herself so much, right?

The man she loved and had known for many years suddenly married someone else. The pain and despair were enough to break her down and make her become as sinister and crazy as she is now!

Jiang Yaonian asked calmly, "Is this your needlework?"

Qinghe nodded.

Jiang Yaonian continued, "That's why I put it close to my body. I thought you put it there as a surprise for me. When I got back, I asked you to help me undress because I wanted you to see that I had put it on."

Qinghe suddenly understood!

No wonder he insisted on denying that he had ever received Jingying's token. It turned out that he thought that the sachet was given by him...

It seems that the same was true for the handkerchief. Maybe he didn't even notice the handkerchief there. It was all just a coincidence and I was overly suspicious. I didn't communicate with him properly, which led to the misunderstanding between the two!

Qing He suddenly felt that the shadow in her heart had dissipated. She hugged Jiang Yaonian in excitement and said in a low and coquettish voice: "I made the sachet... Why didn't you tell me earlier..."

Jiang Yaonian took the opportunity to hug her and sighed, "That depends on whether you are willing to ask... You were only busy asking me whether I accepted the token of love Jingying sent me, and you didn't even mention that you embroidered the sachet for me?"

Qing He said coquettishly: "Okay then! I'll forgive you this time."

Jiang Yaonian asked tentatively: "Then is there no compensation measure?"

Qing He quickly raised her head from his arms and asked with a puzzled look, "What kind of compensation do you want?"

Jiang Yaonian stared at her with sparkling eyes and said, "For example...the request I made last time?"

Qing He immediately refused with a look of displeasure: "No!", and then negotiated with him: "Give this sachet back to me! I'll make you another one when I have time."

Jiang Yaonian was very puzzled and asked: "Why? Didn't you do this yourself?"

Qing He frowned and said nothing. After a while, she said helplessly, "I'll tell you later."

Jiang Yaonian, however, refused to give in and said, "No! Unless you tell me why first."

Qing He could only perfunctorily answer him: "This one is not well made! Wait a few days, I will make you a better one to wear!"

Jiang Yaonian said nonchalantly, "No, I think it's very delicate."

After hearing this, Qinghe couldn't help but sigh helplessly!

In order to express her gratitude to Jingying for helping her out, she put a lot of effort into making this sachet. To be fair, it is indeed very exquisite!

But now thinking back, she felt that everything was so absurd, ironic and unbearable. She didn't want Jiang Yaonian to wear this sachet...

Although she made it herself, it was actually made completely according to Jingying's wishes and ideas! Jingying poured all her love and affection into it, so how could she let Jiang Yaonian wear it day and night?

But it was hard to tell the real reason, so Qing He said helplessly: "As long as you are willing to give it to me, I can make it for you no matter what style you want..."

But Jiang Yaonian rejected it outright, saying, "No need! This one is good enough."

Qing He was silent for a while, then whispered, "How about this, if you're willing to give it back to me, I'll rub your back once when we get back, okay?"

"One more massage!" Jiang Yaonian bargained.

Qing He nodded sadly...

Jiang Yaonian immediately stood up with a satisfied look on his face, "Let's go!"

Qing He looked stunned and asked, "Where are you going?"

Jiang Yaonian raised his eyebrows and said confidently, "Go home!"

Qing He said in shock, "It's the middle of the night now, and there are patrolling soldiers on the road. When I go back, I have to knock on the door. It's so troublesome to go back and forth! It's better to stay here for the night, and it won't be too late to go back after tomorrow morning!"

When Qinghe said this, she suddenly thought of a very important question!

She looked at Jiang Yaonian in surprise and said, "When you came, the gatekeeper had already gone to bed, so how did you get in?"

Jiang Yaonian said calmly: "He climbed over the wall!"

"Ah?" Qinghe widened her eyes in surprise!

Jiang Yaonian tempted him gently, "Do you want to experience it yourself? I can also take you out..."

Qinghe waved her hands in fear!

She couldn't imagine what an embarrassing and terrifying scene it would be like to climb over the wall...

Jiang Yaonian grabbed her hand and said as they walked out, "Let's go! We'll know after we try it."

The two of them arrived at the door. Qing He looked at the towering wall in the dim night, and couldn't help but whispered with difficulty: "Why not forget it! I'll go and call the gatekeeper, Grandma Sun, to open the door for us..."
