"How about just pretending nothing happened?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her head shook like a rattle.

"No, I get nervous when I see him. Now that something so embarrassing has happened, I will definitely get even more nervous when he appears in front of me, and I will definitely be exposed."

"Oh, what should I do?"

Unable to think of any good solution, she began to toss and turn on the bed again with a worried look on her face.

Now she deeply regretted drinking that glass of fruit wine last night because of sadness.

If I hadn't drunk, I wouldn't have gotten drunk, I wouldn't have done such rash things, and I wouldn't be so troubled now.

Xiaoyu, who was waiting outside, saw that she hadn't moved and couldn't help but knock on the door.

"Miss, it's getting late. You should get up and eat something, or you'll feel upset in your stomach."

After Xiaoyu said this, He Yunxi realized that his stomach was empty and he felt a little uncomfortable.

I didn’t eat anything at the dinner yesterday, and I fell asleep because I was drunk when I got home. It’s already noon, how can I not be hungry?

"Come in!"

He Yunxi climbed up from the bed, and several maids came in one after another carrying toiletries and helped her wash and put on makeup.

After tidying up, the meals were ready. Since she was drunk last night, she prepared some light meals today.

The chef in the mansion was a good cook, and even the light meals were delicious. She finished most of them, and the discomfort in her stomach was suppressed.

She looked outside. The weather was very good today. The sun was shining, the sky was blue and cloudless, and there was no wind. Such weather was rare and comfortable in the cold winter.

Maybe going out for a walk can drive away the worries and troubles in your heart.

"Xiaoyu, let's go for a walk in the garden."

"Yes, ma'am."

She walked around the garden, found a comfortable spot, had a lounge chair brought in, and lay down on it to enjoy the sunshine.

She was still thinking about how to deal with what happened last night.

But the sunlight shining on my body was so comfortable that I fell asleep while thinking about it.

Even though the sun was very warm now, it was winter after all. Seeing that she fell asleep, Xiaoyu went back to the yard and took a cloak to cover her.

Because she couldn't think of a good solution, she refused every time Mrs. He asked her to go to pay New Year's greetings.

She doesn't want to go out at all now.

The He family had already visited all relatives on the first and second days of the New Year, and the only ones left were some of their good friends.

After breakfast on the third day of the New Year, Mrs. He went to He Yunxi's yard. The yard was quiet, unlike the lively yard in the past.

"Xiaoyu, where's Xi'er?"

"To answer Madam, Miss has just finished her breakfast and is in the room!"

Mrs. He nodded, walked over and pushed the door open.

He Yunxi thought it was a maid who came in, so she crossed her arms on the table, rested her chin on the table in a daze, and didn't even raise her head.

Mrs. He knew her daughter well, and when she saw her like this, she knew that something must have happened to her.

No wonder people who are usually lively and love visiting friends and relatives don’t even go to pay New Year’s greetings these past two days.

She sat next to He Yunxi.

"Xi'er, what unhappy things happened?"

He Yunxi turned around suddenly, looking surprised, "Mom, why are you here?"

"Why do you think I'm here?"

Seeing her daughter's puzzled expression, Madam He said in a worried tone, "You have been eating in your own courtyard these past two days. I asked you to go to pay New Year's greetings but you refused. What happened?"

He Yunxi's body stiffened, and he looked away uncomfortably, and whispered: "Nothing happened, I just felt uncomfortable after drinking at the New Year's Eve dinner, and I didn't want to go out."

Mrs. He noticed every subtle movement of hers, and a hint of deep thought flashed across her eyes as she looked at someone who was clearly avoiding her gaze.

Since my daughter doesn't want to say it, don't force her. She will definitely say it when she wants to.

Mrs. He followed up her words and asked, "Since you are not feeling well, do you want to ask the doctor to come and take a look?"

"No need, mother. It's fine now." He Yunxi said quickly.

It was just a glass of fruit wine. She didn't feel anything after breakfast yesterday.

"That's good." Mrs. He knew at a glance that her problem was a mental one, not a physical one.

"Now that you are well, I will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings later. You can go with me! You can't stay in the mansion all the time."

"Ah, the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

He Yunxi's eyes widened instantly, as if he had heard something surprising.

"Mom, I won't go!"

She hasn't figured out how to face Brother Nan Yu yet!

Seeing her unusual reaction when she heard about visiting the Prime Minister's Mansion, coupled with her refusal to visit, Mrs. He suddenly had an idea in her mind, but it disappeared in an instant.

When I thought about it again, I couldn’t think of it.

She raised her eyes to look at the person who was avoiding her gaze, "A few days ago, you were eager to drag me to visit the Prime Minister's Mansion, why don't you go now?"

"Uh... this..." He Yunxi's mind was now racing to find an excuse.

Oh, I thought of it.

"It's so desolate outside right now, I just want to see a different view. It just so happens that the Prime Minister's Mansion has a greenhouse for growing flowers! I want to go take a look."

"Hmm." Madam He agreed with her excuse. "In previous years, you were in a hurry to pay New Year's greetings, more anxious than anyone else. Now that you are fine, why don't you go?"

"Oh mom, I've grown up this year and don't want to go out, so don't ask me."

He Yunxi couldn't stand her mother's questioning and started to act like a spoiled child.

"Mother, it's getting late. Don't you have to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings? Go quickly! Otherwise, it would be impolite to be late."

She pulled Mrs. He up, hugged her arms and walked out, and Mrs. He also followed her force and walked out.

"Mom, then you should go early and come back early. I'll go back to the house first."

After sending Mrs. He out of the yard, she turned and ran.

Mrs. He looked at her hurried back and shook her head helplessly.

As children grow up, they all have their own little thoughts.

She is a sensible child and nothing serious should have happened.

When Mrs. He arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, the whole family was already there.

After welcoming Mrs. He into the hall, Nan Yu greeted her and kept looking behind her.

But Mrs. He had already sat down, and the pretty figure was nowhere to be seen.

Doesn’t Mrs. He bring Yunxi to pay New Year’s greetings every third day of the Lunar New Year?

Mother said that it was the same during the four years she was away.

Why didn’t the little girl come today?

Is it still behind?

Could it be that she didn't come because she felt embarrassed about what happened on New Year's Eve dinner?

Is it...

After a while, he thought of countless reasons why she didn't come today.

He looked outside from time to time, hoping to see the little girl at some point.

Ruan Yurou saw it, followed his gaze and looked outside, seeing nothing unusual, and asked curiously, "Yuer, what are you looking at?"
