The resentful best friend travels through daily life

*

Bai Zhao rarely set out with Zhou Ning, Shen You and the others, but stayed to take care of Yun Lan.

"A Ning, you have to be careful and don't act tough when things get tough."

After just one night's absence, Bai Zhao seemed to have become decadent, with dark circles under his eyes and a lifeless look.

"Although it's spring, it's still cold in the capital. I prepared a cotton coat for you. If you're cold, just make do with it for now." Bai Zhao took a red cotton coat and loaded it into Zhou Ning's car.

Zhou Ning looked at Yunlan, and seeing that she was almost unable to hold back her smile, he knew everything.

"A Zhao—"

A red figure hugged me, and the faint scent of herbs invaded my heart.

Zhou Ning hugged Bai Zhao, but didn't know what to say to comfort him.

"I support you in whatever you want to do, and I'll be with you."

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Ning finally found this sentence in his mind.

Bai Zhao rested his chin on Zhou Ning's head, his fatigue slowly dissipated, and he whispered, "Okay, it's a deal."

On the way, Shen You propped up her chin and asked Qi Ji: "Why do I feel like you are wherever I am?"

Qi Ji was startled and his hand holding the teacup loosened. Shen You held it steadily and looked at Qi Ji curiously.

Of course, the real reason cannot be told.

Besides, there are indeed other reasons.

"I am the legitimate son of the Duke of Qi and the son of Bai Yuanyun, the eldest daughter of the Bai family. People must know that I am still alive." Qi Ji said.

His face looked gentle and calm, but his words were frightening.

Shen You opened her eyes wide and asked, "Isn't Rong Xian dead?"

Qi Ji was not afraid of scaring Shen You, and said, "She is dead, but Rong Jing is still alive. Otherwise, why would we be hunted down?"

Thinking of the extremely embarrassed appearance of A Ning and Xiao Bai, Shen You's eyebrows were sharp and he asked, "Did she do it?"

"Without overwhelming evidence—"

"But there is a 90% chance."

Qi Ji said.

Zhou Ning raised a question: "It is true that we have been assassinated from Anzhou to Qingzhou. But if it is really Rong Jing, why doesn't she kidnap her godfather and godmother and use them to threaten us?"

After all, she had only done this once.

Qi Ji was silent.

He had a vague guess in his mind that Rong Xian was the head of a noble family and should have great power. In the whole world, he was probably the only one who could stop her.

"The Emperor?"

Zhou Ning asked softly, but she immediately denied it: "If it was really him, why would he help us, and why would he only protect our relatives and let us continue to be assassinated?"

There are so many mysteries that the three of them cannot solve.

Qing Yi gave each of the three people a slap on the head and said, "How can you guess what the superiors are thinking? Save yourself the trouble. I think it's more important to think about where to eat and live after arriving in the capital."

Qing Yi narrowed her eyes and looked at Qi Ji, whose ears were turning red, and said, "I can't live in Qi's house—"

Qi Ji's ears drooped.

"It is really inappropriate for two unmarried girls, Ning and Youzi, to live in your house, Duke of Qi."

Shen You patted her chest and said with a smile: "Then let's buy a house."

Zhou Ning also responded: "Before I left, my grandfather gave me a lot of money, so I should be able to buy a small courtyard with two entrances in the capital."

In fact, this was the dowry money that Suda prepared for Zhou Ning. He could see that Zhou Ning was a person with her own ideas. Instead of giving it to her after she got married, it would be better to give it to her now so that she could plan for her future.

"Do you think buying a house is a trivial matter, and you can buy it just because it looks good?" Qing Yi snorted and said, "There are many tricks involved. From choosing a house to finalizing it, it will take at least half a month. Besides, with the personalities of the two of you, shouldn't you be able to find a good house?"

Shen You raised her hand and suggested, "Why don't Ning and I stay at the inn first and move in when the house is ready? Besides, we may not stay here for a long time. We are just helping Ning find a father. Besides, my eldest brother is taking the imperial examination, and Qi Ji also needs--"

"Well, I still need to buy a house."

After talking for a long time, Shen You still decided to buy a house.

Qing Yi disagreed: "How old are you two? Is it appropriate to stay in an inn? Is it safe?"

Zhou Ning sighed and said unhappily, "Master, you've been talking for a long time, but you've been denying this and that. What do you think we should do?"

Qing Yi finally said, "Let's live at the Bai family."

"Bai family?" Shen You didn't react for a moment.

Qi Ji replied: "My maternal grandfather's family, the Bai family's main family, is in the capital."

At this point, Qi Ji couldn't help but smile and said, "My grandmother always complains that she has too few girls. You... and Ning are so lively and cute. My grandmother will definitely like you very much."

Zhou Ning frowned and thought: Me? Lively and cute?

Shen You hesitated at this time: "Then what identity should we use to stay at your maternal grandparents' house? How should we tell your maternal grandparents?"

The moment Shen You hesitated, Qi Ji thought Shen You was unhappy, but it turned out that Shen You was just considering it.

Qi Ji smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. You are my junior sisters. It's not a big deal for you to go to the capital to look for your father and stay at my grandmother's house. I will tell my grandmother about it, so you don't have to worry."

Although Qi Ji and Old Madam Bai had never met each other over the years, they kept in touch through letters.

In the letter, Mrs. Bai's concern and worry were still very obvious.

"And one more thing."

Zhou Ning's words attracted the attention of the three people in the carriage.

Zhou Ning took out a piece of letter paper, pointed at the words on it and said, "Not only my sister and brother-in-law, but also my brother-in-law Shen wants to send brother Shen Xin to Beijing to study, and Shen Yi also wants to come with him. Godfather and godmother think that since this is the case, it is better for the whole family to be together. They have arranged the affairs of Junlai Town and brought a few capable people with them to come together."

Zhou Ning said expressionlessly, "But fortunately, there are so many of them, and my sister is pregnant, so the journey is slow, and we can only go by land, so it will take about half a month to get to the capital. If Youzi and I work hard, we should be able to buy a house within half a month."

Qi Ji put his hand to his lips and chuckled twice, saying: "Youzi and Ning really worked hard."

In the past, Zhou Ning lived in the Shen family in Junlai Town and often stayed up late with Shen You. In the end, they were always discovered by Liu Qingxiu, who scolded them and sent them to sleep.

After a lot of effort, the two of them got out and were not controlled.

Now I am back to the time when Liu Qingxiu dragged me to put on more clothes and drink hot water every day.

Zhou Ning looked at Qi Ji with a gloating look on his face, and said with a sigh, "Are you laughing at me?"

Qi Ji pretended to be innocent: "No, I just thought that once my uncle and aunt came, it would finally be more lively."

He paused and sighed imperceptibly: "It would be better if Zhao was here."

Zhou Ning also fell silent. It wasn't that she missed Bai Zhao, but seeing the way he looked before he left, she wondered if he could handle it all on his own.
