He quietly came to Ai Shutong's door, stretched his head and looked inside, and saw her eating quietly.

He looked very normal and let out a long sigh, thinking, please don't let anything happen, otherwise I will be punished again.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Dongmei walked in.

The sound of footsteps brought Ai Shutong back to her senses. She looked up and saw that it was Dongmei. She curled her lips and continued to eat almond yogurt.

Dongmei knew that the young lady didn't like her, so she often asked Baiguo to serve her closely while she hid outside. If she hadn't been abnormal this time, she would not have come here!

"Miss, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Ai Shutong put down the spoon, folded her hands in front of her chest, and looked at her angrily, "What? Are you cursing me sick so soon?"

Dongmei lowered her head again and said, "I dare not. If you are not uncomfortable, I will leave."

Ai Shutong was too lazy to pay attention to her. She felt that Dongmei had too many ulterior motives, and most of them were bad!

He waved his hands in disdain, "Let's go, let's go!"

Dongmei walked out of the house carefully and then quickly returned to her room.

Seeing that Bai Guo had changed her clothes, he hesitated and said, "I think the young lady is fine. Let's not report it this time, okay? I'm afraid that if the master finds out, he will blame us for not taking good care of the young lady. What do you think?"

Bai Guo straightened his sleeves and Yang Sheng said, "Okay, I won't report it this time."

Dongmei stroked her chest and whispered softly, "Go and serve quickly. Tell me if there is anything. I will come over then."

Bai Guo nodded and said crisply, "Hey! I'll go right away."

After saying that, he hurried out.

The next morning, after Ai Shutong finished her meal, she calculated the time, and when it was almost time, she suddenly stood up and walked out.

"Bai Guo, let's go take a walk in the small garden we visited yesterday."

Bai Guo hurriedly followed, "Miss, wait a minute, I'll bring you a hand warmer."

Ai Shutong shook her head, "I'm not cold, no need to bring it."

Seeing that Ai Shutong was walking in a hurry, Bai Guo took two quick steps to catch up with her, without even bothering to get the hand warmer.

When she arrived at the small garden, Ai Shutong headed straight for the wintersweet forest in the east, but she didn't see anyone no matter how she turned left and right.

Bai Guo asked curiously: "Miss, what are you doing?"

Ai Shutong stopped, turned around and said mysteriously: "Didn't you see? I'm performing a ritual!"

Bai Guo was shocked. Here it comes again. The young lady is acting crazy again. What should I do? Should I go find Sister Dongmei? !

At this time, a figure flashed past the hanging flower gate in the east. Ai Shutong's eyes flickered slightly, and she looked at Bai Guo seriously and said, "Bai Guo, I suddenly feel cold again. Go back and get me a hand warmer."

In the middle of winter, Bai Guo was so scared that sweat broke out on his forehead. "I, I'll go right away."

I thought to myself, I must quickly tell Sister Dongmei and ask her to come and see if there is something wrong with the young lady!

Ai Shutong looked at Bai Guo running away and a triumphant smirk appeared on her face.

After Baiguo came out of the western hanging flower gate, Ai Shutong suddenly turned her head and looked to the east.

Yingtao tiptoed out from the east hanging flower gate. Ai Shutong waved at her, and she quickly came to Ai Shutong, "Princess..."

Ai Shutong interrupted her, "Stop, I wanted to say it yesterday, don't call me Gege anymore. Even the Beizi Mansion has changed its name, so we have to change it too."

"From now on, you will call me by my name!"

After hearing this, Cherry shook her head desperately, "Do you think I'm too useless and don't want me to follow you anymore?"

The voice was obviously choked with sobs.

Ai Shutong's face was full of black lines, why did he make her sound like a scumbag.

I quickly comforted her, "Don't call me by my name, call me Miss. You see, everyone in the mansion calls me that now. Times have changed. The Qing Dynasty is gone. Manchus are no longer popular. If I call you Princess, people will know that I am Manchu. That would be a shame!"

Only then did Cherry feel relieved and lowered her head embarrassedly.

Ai Shutong continued, "Let's hurry up and talk. Bai Guo should be back soon."

"I thought about it last night, but I don't know how to arrange for you. The main reason is that we have no money. Even if we send you out, you won't be able to live on your own."

"I think Li Yanran must have sent someone to watch over the mansion on Yongxing Street. If you go back, you'll be walking into a trap."

"Cherry, what do you think?"

Cherry looked at a loss, "Miss, I don't know what to do either."

Ai Shutong sighed deeply, "How about you stay here for now and make arrangements once you have thought it through?"

Cherry nodded repeatedly.

Ai Shutong continued, "You go back first, and don't walk around the mansion during the day to avoid being discovered by Li Yanran's people. How about we meet here in five days to exchange information?"

Cherry showed determination this time, "Okay, I'll listen to you, miss. I'll come back in five days."

Ai Shutong was afraid that Baiguo would come back, so she quickly let Yingtao go.

This time she erased the traces of cherry again.

When Baiguo pulled Dongmei over, Ai Shutong was calmly picking wintersweets.

Dongmei turned her head and looked at Baiguo in confusion, suspecting that Baiguo was lying to her, "Baiguo, don't you want to serve the young lady? If you are tired, just tell me, I can replace you."

Bai Guo quickly shook his head and explained, "Sister Dongmei, I didn't, please believe me..."

Dongmei interrupted her, "Of course I believe you."

He said this, but his eyes were clearly filled with doubt.

She hesitated for a moment, thinking of how Ai Shutong had not been nice to her yesterday, and bit her lip and said, "I think the young lady just has a childish temper. Next time you think something is wrong, just coax her and don't call me."

After saying that, he turned around and hurried away, leaving the white fruit in disarray in the wind...

Ai Shutong walked up to her, raised her hand and waved it in front of her eyes. Seeing that she didn't respond, she patted her and asked, "What are you daydreaming about?"

Bai Guo was startled, and seeing that it was Ai Shutong, he lowered his head and said aggrievedly: "Nothing, Miss, I forgot to bring the hand warmer."

There was a hint of loneliness in his voice.

Ai Shutong took her hand and patted it soothingly, "If you forget it, then forget it. It's not a big deal. Don't take it to heart. Let's go back and see if there's anything delicious in the kitchen. Bring me some!"

Baiguo nodded in silence, and the two of them walked towards Chunyi Pavilion.

***

Ex-live.

Ever since Lin's mother went to the hospital and lost Ai Shutong, she reported it to the Public Security Bureau, but no good news has been received.

Mother Lin felt very guilty and kept saying that it was all her fault.

After Shen Jiaxing found out, he went to the hospital to look for her whenever he had time, but he always came back disappointed.

He often lamented that the world was too chaotic, which made him more determined to teach and educate people and do his best to help this precarious country.

That day, Director Li of the Education Bureau, also the President of Peking University, pushed open the door of Shen Jiaxing's office with a smile.

"Jiaxing, I received an invitation from the deputy director's family. There will be a dance party at his house in two days. I have something to do that day. You are the youngest professor in our school. You should like these. You can go."
