In the evening, Xia Nian and Meng Yin came back from outside, and Xu Zheng was helping the cook put the food on the table.

"Where is Taozi?" Meng Yin asked.

Xu Zheng raised her chin and motioned Tao Tao to sleep in the room.

Meng Yin walked towards Tao Tao's room: "It's time for dinner. I'll go call her."

Meng Yin gently pushed open Tao Tao's door. She was putting on makeup in front of a bronze mirror.

"Taozi, why do you put on makeup at night?" Meng Yin asked.

Tao Tao smiled and said, "I just suddenly wanted to melt."

In fact, she wanted to cover up the redness and swelling of her eyes so as not to worry the three people.

"Okay, let me see." Meng Yin said, walking to her and lifting Tao Tao's chin with her fingers.

"She's worthy of being called a peach. She looks just as good with or without makeup. She's so beautiful." Meng Yin praised without reservation.

Tao Tao was worried that she might notice something, so she stood up quickly and said, "Haha, let's go eat. I'm hungry."

"Okay." Meng Yin nodded, but her eyes glanced at Tao Tao's profile.

She always felt that something was wrong with Tao Tao, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

At the dinner table, Tao Tao kept her head down and kept eating. She smiled and nodded at whatever people gave her. However, the perceptive Xia Nian and Meng Yin sensed something was wrong.

They did not choose to talk to her face. There must be a reason why Tao Tao did not speak. They could not force Tao Tao to do something she did not want to do.

At night, it was drizzling outside. Tao Tao was about to wash up and go to bed, but suddenly she heard a sound coming from the window.

She was a little scared, so she picked up a flower pot and went over to check quietly.

When I opened the window, I saw only something wrapped in oil paper, nothing else.

Tao Tao was stunned for a moment. She took it in and opened it. It was her favorite glutinous rice balls recently.

It was still hot and I could smell a faint glutinous rice flavor.

Tao Tao sat down, looking at the steaming glutinous rice cake in front of her, and fell into deep thought.

Only Xia Nian and the other two knew that she liked to eat this, but there was no need for them to do so. Apart from them, there was only Yi Qing. She met him when she was buying glutinous rice balls outside a few days ago.

Could it be Yiqing? Tao Tao thought, it was still drizzling outside tonight, and the pastry shop should have closed long ago...

Tao Tao stood up suddenly, walked to the bed, opened the window, and looked outside carefully.

The sound of rain hitting the bamboo leaves makes a pleasant sound, which is a feeling unique to summer.

As expected, Tao Tao saw a familiar figure in the bamboo forest. She bit her lip and went back into the house.

Outside the yard, Yiqing heard her voice coming back and lowered his eyes. The rain beat mercilessly on his body.

With a bang, Yiqing turned his head and saw Tao Tao climbing over the window. She first threw her umbrella to the ground and was now trying hard to flip it over.

Yiqing was shocked and worried that she might be hurt, so he ran forward to support her.

Their eyes met, and the two were speechless for a moment.

Tao Tao was only wearing her inner skirt, and when the breeze blew, she couldn't help shivering.

Yiqing said, "It's cold outside, Miss Tao, please go back first."

Tao Tao stood across from him and said in a neither loud nor soft voice: "I'm cold, are you not cold too?" She glanced at Yi Qing's clothes, which were already wet.

"Give me a hand." Tao Tao said, and moved again.

She is now sitting on the windowsill, not feeling very comfortable.

Yiqing picked her up easily and put her back into the house.

Tao Tao looked at him with amusement and anger: "I said help me out, why did you put me back?"

"You should rest soon. I'm leaving." Yi Qing pursed his lips, resisted the urge to rub her head, turned around and was about to leave.

"Stop." Tao Tao was rarely so domineering.

Yiqing paused visibly, but Tao Tao didn't chase him away?

"Come back." Tao Tao said again, and Yiqing turned around obediently.

"It's so late, why don't you rest and send me something?" Tao Tao asked.

Yiqing said awkwardly: "I want to send it."

Tao Tao was so angry that she laughed again: "Then you really do whatever you want."

"I'm sorry about what happened today." Yi Qing said, his eyes unconsciously looking down.

Tao Tao sighed and said, "I'm not the one you need to apologize to."

Yiqing raised his head and said in an unquestionable tone: "There is no way I will apologize to him."

Tao Tao was stunned, her face slightly cold: "Okay, you can do whatever you want."

After she finished speaking, she reached out and closed the window.

Yiqing stood outside at a loss for a moment, feeling wronged.

Does she trust Yi An that much?

With a creak, the window was opened again, and Tao Tao threw him a large pink towel, which was made by Meng Yin for them.

Yiqing's vision was blocked. He pulled off the towel, something was hidden in his eyes, his lips moved but he said nothing.

Tao Tao pointed to the umbrella on the ground and said, "Take it, don't get wet in the rain, go back and take a good bath, and drink a bowl of ginger soup."

After saying that, she closed the window and sat on the bed angrily.

This idiot, not only did he come to deliver something in the middle of the night, but he also said with a righteous indignation that he would not apologize to Yi An. I don’t know what he was thinking.

Yiqing did not wrap his body with the towel. He folded it carefully and put it in his arms. He turned his head to look at the umbrella on the ground, thought about it, and then picked it up and put it on the windowsill.

When Tao Tao heard the sound, she stood up and took a look.

Yiqing had already climbed up the wall. He didn't open the umbrella or put on a towel, and he disappeared from Tao Tao's sight in an instant.

She lowered her eyes and saw the umbrella on the windowsill. She sighed in her heart and closed the window.

Tao Tao lay on the bed, Yiqing's appearance just now kept flashing through her mind.

His domineering look, arrogant look, aggrieved look, and high-spirited look were like slides in her mind.

She didn't understand what was wrong with her. Yiqing had clearly hurt Yian and done something so unreasonable, but she couldn't just turn a blind eye to his grievances.

Tao Tao sighed. Perhaps it was because Yiqing had been so nice to her in the past, and now he suddenly behaved like this, she was a little uncomfortable with it.

-

The next day, Tao Tao got up very early. She was going to Yi An's house to apologize to him and bring him some ointment.

After all, it was because of her that Yi Qing beat Yi An yesterday, and Yi An was injured. She was quite knowledgeable in medicine and could help him.

Tao Tao couldn't help but frown when she saw the medicine box on the table.

It was Yiqing who bought this medicine box for her. They went together to buy a lot of medicinal herbs. Yiqing also helped her make the ointment. As for other things, Yiqing also helped her get them all.

Tao Tao shook her head violently. It was just a quarrel, but she was so sad. She kept thinking about Yiqing. She was simply crazy.

When Tao Tao arrived at Yi'an's house, she knocked on the door. A handsome man in a Taoist robe opened the door. When he saw Tao Tao, he was obviously stunned and looked her up and down.

"Excuse me, young lady?" he asked in a clear voice.

"My name is Tao Tao, and I'm a friend of Master Yi'an." Tao Tao replied.

The man nodded: "Okay, go in."

Tao Tao smiled and couldn't help but look at him a few times.

He doesn't look like a servant. He should be Yi'an's friend.

Tao Tao came in and a maid came forward and took her to Yi'an's room.

"Come in." After Tao Tao knocked on the door, Yi An's voice came from inside.

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, and the force was sufficient, so it sounded like he was fine, Tao Tao thought.

She pushed the door open and saw Tao Tao. Yi An was stunned at first, then put down the book and coughed a few times: "Why is Miss Tao here?"

"I came to see you." Tao Tao put down the medicine box and looked at Yi An.

The words he just said were a little breathless, and his face looked pale. It seemed that Yiqing had put in some real effort in those two punches and one kick.

Tao Tao sighed inwardly, Yiqing was too violent, he even wanted to kill his own uncle.
