Madam, protect me!

Li Nuo said the name "Phoenix" and found that An Ning was stunned.

The beauty made a slight pause in making the bed.

This also confused him.

So...he said it wrong?

But they are both familiar with each other, so it wouldn't be strange to get along with them. Who else could they be besides Phoenix?

It can't be a sweetheart, right?

Li Nuo suddenly realized something and looked at An Ning and Jiaren again.

No, they are talking about Yiren?

He looked at An Ning and said, "Listen to me..."

After a while.

Li Nuo walked out of the room and the door slammed shut.

He looked up at the sky full of stars, feeling very wronged in his heart.

They had something to say, so they had to play riddles about Phoenix and Yiren. It was obvious that Phoenix had a better relationship with them. Anyone would immediately think of Phoenix. How could they blame him?

Li Nuo sighed and planned to go to the study to spend the night when he saw figures swaying in the moonlight by the lake not far away.

He walked over and found that Yiren was practicing.

Perhaps it is because she has been strictly required to practice martial arts since she was a child. Yiren works harder than beautiful people.

In the past, the beauty was stronger than her due to her practice of martial arts.

But now, she's almost catching up.

Li Nuo walked over and asked, "Still not sleeping yet?"

Yiren looked back at him and said, "I'm not sleepy yet. If you practice for a while longer, why aren't you still asleep?"

It was a bit embarrassing to be driven out by them to reflect. Li Nuo sat on a stone bench by the lake and said, "I'm not sleepy either. I went for a walk and happened to see you here..."

Yi Ren continued to practice her sword while Li Nuo watched from the side.

He had to get used to being alone with Yi Ren. After all, in the next six months, they would be the only ones living in a distant foreign country.

Song Yiren looked back at Li Nuo and continued practicing her sword.

In fact, she originally planned to go back and rest after practicing this time...

But at this moment, she changed her mind.

After practicing with Yi Ren until very late, Li Nuo went back to his room to rest. He got up a little later the next day.

Because he would be on a mission to Zhao State later in the year, he would have to leave Chang'an before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Most of the officials had been away for two years, but the imperial court was considerate and gave them a long holiday before leaving.

Since Li Nuo became an official, he would take a long vacation every now and then.

After washing up, I walked out of the room and saw Yiren practicing martial arts again.

Li Nuo was impressed by her efforts. He stepped forward and asked, "Where are they?"

Song Yiren didn't stop her movements and said, "The three of them went shopping."

It seems that what happened last night did not affect their relationship with Phoenix.

Li Nuo asked: "Why don't you go?"

Yiren glanced at him and said, "How can I protect you if I don't practice hard?"

Li Nuo didn't say anything. He was silently practicing with her not far away, while thinking about what An Ning said last night.

If she wasn't talking about Phoenix, then she could only be Yi Ren.

An Ning means that the marriage arranged by God is the greatest. Since everything is destined by God, even if he wants to be with the beautiful woman, she will not object.

The beauty's attitude at that time was obviously acquiescence.

As the hostesses of the family, if they both have no objections, then the only obstacle is the mother-in-law.

His mother-in-law's attitude towards him has undoubtedly undergone earth-shaking changes compared to the beginning.

But I don’t know if she will agree to marry her two daughters.

After Song Yiren practiced Yuqing Sword Technique, she walked to Li Nuo and asked doubtfully: "What are you thinking about?"

He had already raised his sword and was dazed here for a while.

Li Nuo came back to his senses and said, "New Year's Eve will be in a few days. Do you want to spend it at Song Mansion or Li Mansion?"

Song Yiren was slightly stunned. She really hadn't thought about this problem.

Every New Year's Eve before was spent with my mother, and there was nothing special about it.

This year's New Year's Eve, logically speaking, should be spent at Song Mansion.

After all, she is not from the Li family, so how can she celebrate the New Year at someone else's house?

But what did he mean by asking her?

Does he wish he were at the Li family?

Song Yiren was silent for a moment and whispered: "I, I want to ask my mother..."

Since the beauty became pregnant, Su Qing has been coming to Ningxinyuan every day.

Seeing the beautiful lady coming over, looking like she had something to say but hesitant, she took the initiative and asked, "What's wrong?"

Song Yiren hesitated for a long time before asking: "Do I want to go back to the Song family on New Year's Eve?"

Su Qing glanced at her beloved daughter, Mo Ruomu, but did not give her a definite answer. She just said: "You have grown up, and you can make your own decisions. You can celebrate the New Year wherever you want, and marry someone you want." Marry whoever you want, as long as you are willing, no one else can care about you..."

Song Yiren was a little surprised. Her mother used to want to take care of her in everything, but now she is becoming more and more indulgent towards her.

This was hard for her to get used to.

Also, what does it mean to marry whomever you want?

She asked in a strange way: "What if the person I want to marry is already married?"

She thought her mother would be angry, but she had already made preparations.

Unexpectedly, Su Qing's expression did not change, and she just said lightly: "That's your choice, as long as you don't regret it."

After a while, Song Yiren left in a daze.

Mother's attitude was beyond her expectation. She wondered if she was hinting at her...

By the lake, Li Nuo was practicing. When he couldn't practice the Law School, practicing martial arts was also good. Although practicing martial arts was a bit slow, the effect of strengthening the body was still very obvious.

A figure came from a distance, glanced at Li Nuo, and said, "Follow me."

As soon as the voice fell, she tapped her toes lightly, and the whole person flew over the lake and landed on the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Li Nuo could only walk on the corridor on the lake.

The abilities of each realm of each family are different. Although the fourth realm of the Law School is stronger than the warriors of the same realm in terms of combat power, it cannot fly around like the fourth realm warriors.

He walked to the pavilion in the middle of the lake and said, "Mother-in-law."

Su Qing turned around and looked at him, and asked, "I won't beat around the bush with you. What do you really think about Yiren?"

"Ah?"

"Ah what? Do you like Yiren or not?"

...

Say no beating around the bush, she really didn't beat around the bush at all, not even giving Li Nuo any time to prepare.

However, he really didn't need any preparation.

Li Nuo nodded.

Fenghuang was right. Not to mention Yiren's affection and righteousness, even if it was just because she looked exactly like Jiaren, he couldn't watch her marry someone else without caring.

Whether mother-in-law agrees or not, this is the fact.

Su Qing didn't get angry when she heard this, but breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I admit that the root of the mistake in this matter is me. If I hadn't taken Yiren away back then, things wouldn't have turned out like this..."

Li Nuo looked at her with a little surprise.

Su Qing continued, "Everyone can see that Yiren likes you, and you should have been husband and wife. I hope you can make Yiren happy, but don't hurt her. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Nuo nodded and said, "I understand."

My wife has hinted, or even made it clear.

Now, there is no obstacle from my mother-in-law.

All the problems he was worried about before have been solved.

Su Qing looked at Li Nuo, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "This trip to Zhao State is an opportunity I have created for you with great difficulty. I hope you can seize it and don't let me down..."

When leaving the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Li Nuo was still a little dazed.

Is this considered acting on orders?

He admitted that his attitude towards his mother-in-law was a bit bad before...

After Su Qing left, Song Yiren quickly ran to Li Nuo and asked curiously, "What did my mother say to you just now?"

Of course, these words cannot be told to Yiren.

With her personality, it may have a counterproductive effect.

Li Nuo shook his head and said, "Nothing."

The more he said this, the more curious Song Yiren became.

She glared at Li Nuo and said, "Tell me now!"

Li Nuo said, "It's really nothing."

"Say it or not, I won't be polite if you don't!"

"Let me see, how can you be so rude?"

...

Song Jiaren, Li Anning and Fenghuang walked into Ningxin Garden and saw from a distance that Li Nuo was pressed against a tree by Song Yiren somewhere by the lake. From their perspective, it looked like he was pressed against a tree and kissed by Yiren...

Fenghuang was stunned, Li Anning and Song Jiaren looked at each other, and they felt surprised and finally got rid of a worry.

But, this is too fast...

[ps: I'm going to enter a new plot, so I'll take a leave of one chapter to sort out my thoughts and outline. 】
