After hearing Ding Jing's words, everyone in the yard stopped what they were doing.

They all looked towards the door.

The two people at the door were also looking at them.

Looking around the yard, they saw many familiar faces. Most of them were people who had come to this village about a year ago or later.

I even saw the thug hired back then, Lao Lu.

Looking at Ding Jing in front of him, Li Xiaoyu smiled bitterly.

Qing Liang and Feng Wudu mentioned the secret guards.

She was the only one who took the separation that year seriously. He not only placed people around him, but also placed people in the village.

Even his good friends were also included in his schemes.

At this moment, there was nothing she didn't understand.

An intense feeling of desolation filled her heart, and she was too ashamed to even look at the face of her best friend next to her.

She lowered her head and suddenly laughed.

"Ha ha......"

"I'm so easy to fool..."

The laughter was shallow, the self-mockery obvious, and Ding Jing was right in front of her.

She watched a drop of transparent tear fall to the ground, and her heart tightened. It was dripping from Li Xiaoyu's eyes.

The people in the yard were all secret guards, and they clearly felt that something was wrong with Li Xiaoyu.

Someone winked and the other person quickly went to the backyard to call for help.

Li Fugui looked at his wife in front of him, then looked at the villagers in the yard. He felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

Suddenly, a faint bitter smile came from beside me.

Seeing Li Xiaoyu laughing so hard that her whole body was about to fall, he hurriedly held her shoulders with both hands.

So that she wouldn't fall.

Seeing his friend crying and laughing, tears welling up in his eyes, he panicked and said, "Xiaoyu, don't cry..."

"Did Gu Fei make you angry? Shall we beat him up? Don't cry."

Having known Li Xiaoyu for such a long time, Li Fugui had never seen her as sad as she was today.

Seeing her bloodshot eyes, he looked at his wife helplessly, his tone full of helplessness: "Wife, please help me, seeing her crying, I am about to cry."

Ding Jing wanted to speak, so she opened her mouth.

But he couldn't say a word, and didn't even have the courage to explain to Li Fugui.

Gu Fei strode out and saw Li Xiaoyu standing at the door.

She cried until her whole body was shaking. Her head, which usually kept its chin slightly raised, now drooped like a withered willow tree, no longer having the vitality it once had.

His heart suddenly tightened and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.

Hearing the familiar footsteps approaching, Li Xiaoyu finally raised his head.

The face that was always filled with smiles was now covered with tears. Gu Fei didn't have much time to think about how she knew the truth. Seeing the mud on her body and the tears on her face.

His heart felt like it was being stabbed by needles.

He reached out to her, trying to wipe the tears from her face.

Li Xiaoyu slightly turned sideways to avoid his hand, and Gu Fei's hand stopped stiffly in mid-air, just like the relationship between them.

It also stopped.

Tears blurred Li Xiaoyu's eyes. She rolled up her sleeves and wiped away the tears on her face without caring about her image. She looked at Gu Fei as if she was looking at a stranger.

He opened his mouth and spoke in a trembling voice that was cold and distant.

"You are so good at math, why don't you become an accountant?"

As soon as these words came out, Gu Fei's pupils shrank and his face lost all color. The prince, who was always cold and stern in everyone's eyes, was obviously panicked when he spoke.

"Little fish..."

He stepped out of the door and tried to pull Li Xiaoyu again, but she dodged him again.

Li Xiaoyu is very tired now. She doesn't even have the strength to speak loudly.

She tilted her head and looked at the large lanterns placed on the embankment in the yard. Some were semi-finished products and their shapes were different from the common lanterns. She didn't know what kind of craftsmanship this was.

But looking at those old masters standing on the embankment, their eyes were full of worry.

Reason finally prevailed.

She looked up at her good friend standing with Ding Jing, and then at Ding Jing's growing belly. She frowned, with a complicated look in her eyes.

The choked voice was full of apology: "I'm sorry, Fugui, I got you into trouble."

Her voice was not loud, and it seemed as if she had used up all her strength.

Li Fugui didn't understand the meaning of this sentence. Looking at his friend who had always been lively and cheerful, and now looked like he had lost all hope in life, Li Fugui said subconsciously.

"Xiao Yu, we have been through thick and thin together. No matter what you did, I will not blame you."

The more he said this, the more guilty Li Xiaoyu felt.

She didn't go to see Gu Fei, nor did she respond to Li Fugui's words. She just felt very tired.

I just want to go home and lie down.

In the end, Gu Fei was saved.

She said nothing more and turned away...

Unlike the stumbling steps when she came, every step she took on the way back was steady. Being embarrassed once was enough.

On the way home, she thought, she should at least be a little more decent.

Even so, she was in a very miserable state.

In everyone's eyes, she is like a tortoise carrying a heavy shell. Even though every step consumes a lot of her energy, she still moves forward with tenacious steps.

The sun was high in the sky, and Gu Fei followed her closely.

The scorching sun shines on their bodies, but neither of them seems to be able to feel the warmth of the sun.

Li Fugui was worried about Li Xiaoyu, so he asked Ding Jing to go home first.

Ding Jing didn't dare to go back. She controlled her panic and pretended to be calm: "I'll go with you."

Passing by the woods, I saw two distraught men approaching.

Feng Wudu and Qing Liang hid behind a big tree at the same time, holding their breath, and no one dared to speak.

Gu Fei noticed the two of them.

He probably guessed why Xiaoyu knew the truth, and he no longer wanted to think about why his master and fellow apprentice told this matter.

Now he was only afraid of one thing.

Xiaoyu doesn't want him anymore...

When he reached the door of his house, Li Xiaoyu stopped, looked down at his toes, and looked at the patterns on his shoes.

Her vision blurred for a moment.

After calming down, she swallowed her sobs, pursed her lips and whispered, "It's hard for the Regent to accompany me to play house here. The things I bought for you are not worth much, and I don't have anything here that is worth you taking away."

Every time she spoke, her heart ached.

The heart palpitations from the contractions made her feel dazed, and the dryness on her lips made her not want to say another word.

She paused, but still forced herself to say the words.

"Go away, I don't want to see you again."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Fei felt as if he was struck by lightning. His deep willow-leaf eyes kept trembling. He was already on the edge of a cliff, and these words sentenced him to death.

It was like being pushed suddenly into the sea. The surging water poured into his body, draining away his strength bit by bit.

It also took away his hope of living.

Watching the wooden door being pushed open and about to close, he strode towards it and squeezed in.

He hugged Li Xiaoyu in his arms.

His chest pressed tightly against her back, with such force that he wanted to melt the woman into his flesh.

"Xiao Yu, please, don't leave me."

Hoarse words flowed from his thin lips, as low as grains of sand in the dust, humble and afraid.
