Fang Qingge concealed his panic and said through the gate:

"Xiumei, wait a minute. I just want to go home. Let's go together!"

However, as soon as the door was opened, before Fang Qingge could go out, Xiumei rushed in without caring.

He reached out and grabbed Fang Qingge's arm and stammered:

"Qingge, please close the gate first. I...I want to ask you for a favor."

After saying this, his tanned face became even darker and redder.

"Xiu Mei, it's getting late and I'm about to go home. Can we talk while we walk?"

"No, don't go yet." Xiumei closed the gate first after hearing that.

Then he hurriedly took Fang Qingge's hand and walked towards the east wing.

*

"Hey? Xiumei, why don't we go to the main house and talk?"

Fang Qingge's sudden rise in voice and the unnatural look on his face made Xiumei stunned for a moment.

"Ah? Okay!" Xiumei let go of her hand.

Fang Qingge had no choice but to take her into the main house.

*

In the main house.

"Qingge, you...you are my good friend. Can you help me with something?"

"Help? How can I help you in this state?"

"Yes! Your words will definitely work. I'm sure you can help with this."

Seeing Fang Qingge's confusion, Xiumei excitedly assured him.

She twirled her braids with her fingers, wanting to say something but stopping herself. She quickly took a deep breath, puffed up her cheeks and said shyly:

"Qingge, I like your brother."

After saying that, she covered her face shyly again.

Fang Qingge's mouth turned into an O shape.

*

Xiumei blushed and glanced at her unhappily, then said aggrievedly,

"But my mother firmly disagrees with going to your house to propose marriage. She also says that my ambitions are higher than the sky. Humph! They don't understand me.

What's wrong with me? I work hard and I'm not picky about food. Aunt Yu, I get along with you like a family.

You said? Why can't I marry into your Shen family? Oh! My mother! She really makes me so angry! "

Xiumei angrily criticized her mother, her eyes filled with tears of grievance.

Fang Qingge, who was standing by, had already widened his eyes and was looking at her in surprise.

*

Xiumei raised her hand and hit her lightly, saying angrily:

"I gave up when Wenzhi was engaged before. But now he has called off the engagement, right?!

My mother and the others don't help me.

Qingge, Brother Wenzhi loves you the most. Can you give me some advice to help me get things done? I know Brother Wenzhi will be going home in the next two days. If I don’t take action soon, I’m afraid I’ll regret it for the rest of my life if I miss out.”

*

Fang Qingge looked at Xiumei, a young girl in love, with eyes full of expectation, and really didn't know how to start.

She lowered her head and thought for a while.

"Xiumei, we are friends. Aunt Wang is right. Just listen to my advice. It would be best for you not to bring this up.

Xiumei, my brother will have a bright future, and his wife will not be an illiterate girl. And you..."

Xiumei's smile froze when she heard this, and she stood up suddenly, her voice rising a lot.

"What? What did you say? What do you mean? Are you saying that I am not worthy of your brother?"

"Xiumei, I don't mean to look down on you. You and my brother are not the same kind of people, it's not suitable."

"What do you mean we are not of the same kind? I can't read a single word. It's because my family is poor and there is no one who can read.

If we get married in the future, won't I be able to read and write if I learn from Brother Wenzhi?"

Fang Qingge was speechless for a moment. But he still tried to persuade her kindly:

"Xiu Mei, you will meet someone who is right for you. I won't help you in this matter."

Xiumei was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed her shaking finger at Fang Qingge's face and asked harshly,

"I know you look down on me from the bottom of your heart. I work like a slave at home all day long.

And look at how you live in the Shen family. You do nothing all day, but are spoiled and pampered by the whole family. You even have the time to keep a stinky cat.

I don't have such a good fortune as yours. But no matter how lucky you are, weren't you still foolishly kidnapped when you were a child?

You… don’t think I can’t see it. You are just an abandoned woman who was divorced and sent home. Humph! Forget it. I don’t care. "

Xiumei, who was furious, stamped her feet angrily, kicked the chair hard, and then ran out.

Fang Qingge and the elf were sitting on their chairs, dumbfounded.

Fang Qingge: "I was divorced?"

Elf: "I am a stinky cat??"

*

Xiumei, who had rushed to the gate, stopped suddenly. She remembered Fang Qingge's strange behavior just now. Her eyes rolled and she rushed to the window of the east wing.

In her blurry vision, she seemed to have made a major discovery. Before she could take a closer look.

Suddenly, Fang Qingge, who had just walked out of the main house, shouted angrily.

"Xiumei, what are you doing?"

Xiumei panicked for a moment out of guilt.

"Hmph!" He stomped his feet again, turned his head and glanced at Fang Qingge, then ran out quickly.

*

"Meow meow meow, oops! Has the master discovered the handsome killer?"

"have no idea…."

Fang Qingge walked quickly to the window of the east wing and glanced inside. It was dark.

"You can't see anything, right?!"

Fang Qingge felt unsure and muttered something as if to comfort himself.

"Let's go!"

"Meow meow meow."

The gate was closed and locked, and the man and the cat left.

**

The Crown Prince in the east wing had just recovered and his eyes and ears were not yet sharp. He only knew that someone came and left.

His heart was also tightened when he saw the outsider.

If someone came to kill him, he would surely die now that he is a living dead.

If it was someone familiar here, just like the little woman said, it would be hard to explain if a man and a woman were alone in the same house.

In short, he was worried that he might bring disaster to her.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can no longer lie down.

The heartless Fang Qingge has already gone to the Shen family.

**

After Fang Qingge returned to the Shen family, she did not mention to her aunt and the others that Xiumei had gone to see her.

At noon, Aunt Yu and Cui Liu were busy in the kitchen.

Fang Qingge was teaching two little girls, Da Ya and Er Ya, to sing nursery rhymes in the yard.

"The little white rabbit is so white, with its two ears standing up..."

The yard was filled with the "ga gaga" laughter of children.

*

at this time,

With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open and Shen Wenzhi strode in with a bag on his back.

Several people who heard the noise turned to look.

"Mom, sister-in-law, I'm back."

"Hey! Why did Zhier come back so early today?"

"Uncle, is it hard to study during this period?"

"Brother, you're back."

The four people smiled after speaking in unison.

*

Aunt Yu hurried forward and took the bag from her son.

"Mom, I handed in my test paper early, and the teacher agreed to let me go home early."

"Why are you in such a hurry, kid? You have to take the exam seriously! Are you tired from the journey?"

"Mom, my son handed in the paper early because he thought it was fine. I was not tired on the way back. I took a bullock cart back."

"Oooo."

Aunt Yu was so happy to see her youngest son coming home that she couldn't stop smiling. There was no intention to blame him.
