Zhou Kang was stunned for a moment, and saw that Xie Guzong just had a gloomy face but did not disagree.

He pressed Zhou Yao's shoulders and made her kneel on the ground.

"Yaoyao is not in her right mind, I can only apologize to you like this."

"You guys go away." Xie's mother ordered them to leave in a calm manner.

Even though the truth has been found out and the crime has been pardoned, the journey back and back to Shengjing is bound to be difficult. There will be one storm after another. As the future prime minister, Zhou Kang has several duties. If he is not given face here, he will not let the Xie family have an easy time when he returns to Shengjing.

Xie Guzong said distressedly: "Ah He, you are so wronged."

A gentle smile appeared on Xie's mother's face. She held her husband's hand and looked at her son, daughter-in-law, and the morning clouds and evening glow whom she had not seen for a long time.

She let out a long sigh, relieved.

"The Zhou family has been kind to us. Using my injury as an excuse to sever ties with the Zhou family in exchange for my son's willingness to do things, it's worth it."

all the time.

The son had no interest in Zhou Yao at all, but Zhou Yao always came to see him and was kind to him, so the son couldn't chase her away and could only endure her harassment. Now, the son doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Xie Guzong nodded and said, "Okay."

Xie Yan pursed his lips. If this was the reason, then he would rather be annoyed by Zhou Yao for the rest of his life than let his mother get hurt.

After the farce was over, Uncle Lin and others breathed a sigh of relief.

He helped his wife up and said, "Miss, I'll find someone to clean up here. You can go back and have a rest first."

Shi Shuang nodded and looked at her parents-in-law.

"You've been exhausted all the way. Why don't you take a rest first and make plans tomorrow?"

"Okay, Shuang'er, thank you very much." Xie Guzong looked at Ahe with gratitude in his eyes. They really prayed for this daughter-in-law.

After returning to Shengjing, their family will definitely get better and better.

Shi Shuang remembered something and said, "The three elders are in the side courtyard of the mansion now. They may have fallen asleep early, so Gao Zhe didn't notice them. If you want to go, you can ask Uncle Lin or Yao Lang to lead the way."

The moon rises high.

The yard was black with blood and had to be flushed with water several times before it was cleaned up.

Yao Lang wiped the sweat off his face, took the broom, walked up to the woman and bent down.

"Lian'er, let's get married."

"Ah?" Kong Lian'er turned back in surprise, thinking about what the man said, and blushed, "I know, we'll talk about it when we return to the village."

She knew that Langge had already built the house.

It's just that there was famine and war in recent years, so they had no time to get married and have children, otherwise they might have been married long ago.

Yao Lang nodded, "When the time comes, we will treat our benefactor to a grand feast!"

"Of course!" Kong Lian'er's eyes were full of longing. The scene of her wedding day, wearing her wedding dress and being blessed by her benefactor, seemed to appear before her eyes.

What could be happier than here?

at the same time.

Shi Shuang called Zhizi in. She did not shy away from Xie Yan and asked, "What did you say today about never marrying? When you asked for a favor, it was obviously related to Xie Yan, right?"

Gardenia hesitated for a few seconds, but still nodded.

"But, I only have this one wish now, I just want to stay by your side and never marry."

"..." Shi Shuang raised her eyes and said, "You don't have to worry about your identity."

Gardenia smiled bitterly and said, "After all, a slave is a slave, and the master is the master. Miss, the two will always be different. If you agree to this, everything will be fine."

She admitted that she liked the Fourth Young Master.

After spending these few days together, she has a clearer understanding of the Fourth Young Master's character. He is exactly the same person she likes, but she is just a servant and the Fourth Young Master is the master. She does not want to be a concubine and watch him marry someone else, and she is even less willing to serve the future Fourth Young Master's wife.

The Fourth Young Master seemed to have a crush on her as well, she could feel it.

But, this feeling only occurred on lonely and helpless nights, when two lonely hearts slowly approached each other. When they returned to Shengjing, the prosperity was gone and the Fourth Young Master no longer remembered her, the little maid.

Xie Wei heard it.

He put the folded clothes into the bag and said softly, "As long as you and Fourth Brother like each other, we can make the decision. We won't do anything just because you are a maid."

Shi Shuang looked over and said, "Gardenia, happiness is something you have to fight for yourself."

Gardenia shook her head. She walked to the window, looked at the night outside, and looked towards the Fourth Young Master's residence.

“The slave cannot.

Just now, I thought I was going to die. Maybe I would tell the Fourth Young Master my true feelings, because when I die, I will have nothing left and I won’t be afraid. But now I am still alive, I am still a slave, and he is still a young master.

The breeze blew gently across the faces of the three people.

The couple looked at each other for a long time, then Shi Shuang walked over and put her hand on the maid's shoulder.

"I understand what you mean. We can die together, but we can't be together."

Feelings are really complicated. If they could be together if they loved each other, there wouldn’t be so many regrets and unrequited love in the world.

Zhizi wiped away her tears, put her hands on her waist and bowed, "Please give me your consent, young lady."

Shi Shuang's eyes moved slightly, as if stars were twinkling, and she shook her head and refused: "I don't agree, you should decide your own life."

"I am yours." Gardenia shook her head and said.

Hear the words.

Shi Shuang walked to the wardrobe and took out a piece of paper from the small box. She opened it in front of Zhizi, and it was Zhizi's indenture contract.

A death contract means that you cannot leave it for the rest of your life and you must obey the master’s arrangements even after death.

She tore the contract into pieces with her hands, and under Gardenia's shocked gaze, burned it to ashes in front of the candlelight.

The corners of her mouth curled up, "Silly girl, you are free."

Gardenia was stunned for a while, she quickly knelt on the ground, choking and said: "Miss, don't you want me anymore?"

"You can still follow me." Shi Shuang helped her up, a smile welling up in her eyes, "I just hope you understand that you are not a maid, you belong to yourself."

A smile appeared on Zhizi's face, and she nodded, "I understand. I won't disturb you and your uncle anymore."

She walked to the door.

She glanced at the young lady ambiguously, and before leaving, she handed the young lady a book. It was... it was given to the young lady by Mrs. Xie. She took a quick glance at it, and it was quite weird, so unbearable to look at.

Bang! The door closed.

Shi Shuang looked at the things in his hand and said as he flipped through them, "What did this little girl give me... toilet!"

pat!

As soon as she opened the first page, she was shocked.

The palm-sized book fell to the ground.

Xie Wei bent down to pick it up, but before he could even see a corner, it was snatched away. His eyes were deep and contained a hint of smile.

"What is this, so mysterious?"

"No, nothing. Children shouldn't be so curious." Shi Shuang's eyes were evasive. She wanted to cry but had no tears. She was anxious. Why did this little girl hide this thing? Why didn't she take it out and show it to her earlier? Why did she have to give it to her now, at such an unexpected moment?

She looked around. Where was he hiding?

Xie Xuan hugged her waist and pulled her towards him. While she was in a daze, he took the booklet and opened it. There were two little people inside...

The tip of his ears turned slightly red, but his eyes darkened, "A Shuang, do you like this?"
