Shang Tingli broke free from Ke Xin's hand, climbed onto the bed first, lay down, and put the key under the pillow. He turned his back and faced him without any face.

[Oh my god! How can a person be so embarrassed? ]

Ke Xin couldn't help but let out a low laugh, which to some people sounded like a merciless mockery.

Shang Tingli didn't even think about it, he turned over and covered his mouth with his hands, staring at him angrily and said, "Don't laugh."

He just looked at her calmly, his peach blossom eyes light and pale.

Shang Tingli silently withdrew his hand, turned his back again, closed his eyes, and perhaps this life was over.

……

The next morning.

After days of rain, there are days of sunshine, and today is also a nice sunny day.

Shang Tingli went to pay her respects to Wenhui yesterday, so she didn't have to get up early today. Wenhui didn't set any rules for her, and just asked her to go over every now and then to help the school manage the household affairs, just to kill time.

When she was in Nanwu, she was still a child, and she didn't need to learn these things because her mother was there. Later, when she lived with her uncle, it was time for her to pick up these things, but Pan Yaying didn't like her in the first place, so how could she teach her these things?

In her previous life, she suffered a lot for this.

Shang Tingli led Gan Tang to the west room, took out two military books, and told her to deliver them to Xiaoyao Pavilion to Ke Yi.

When I came out of the west room, Ke Xin had not left the house yet.

Shang Tingli was surprised: "Why is the prince still here?"

Ke Xin looked at her and said, "Is it not possible?"

Shang Tingli: "...Of course you can."

"Go and pay respects to mother?" Ke Xin asked. Without waiting for her answer, he asked, "Together?"

"Okay." Shang Tingli hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

The two went to Ronghua Hall together.

When she saw the two of them, Wenhui was surprised: "Why isn't A Li resting in the courtyard? You should take a day off today."

She thought Shang Tingli came to learn how to manage household chores from her.

Shang Tingli smiled and said, "Come and talk to mother."

Since she loved coming, Wen Hui did not refuse and smiled, "That's fine." Then she looked at Ke Xin who was standing beside her, "Is Xingchen busy?"

She had a reason to ask that.

Ke Xin was rarely in the mansion all day long. He usually went out at dawn, and he had not come to pay his respects to Wenhui for many days.

"What you said, mother, does it mean that my son can't come if he's fine?" Ke Xin said.

Wen Hui scolded, "You kid."

Shang Tingli asked Ke Xin, "When will the prince leave?"

Ke Xin raised his eyebrows: "Are you looking forward to me going out?"

"...Ask." Shang Tingli said, she felt uneasy.

[I beg you, please leave quickly. If you don't leave, how can I tell my mother about this? ]

She would feel uneasy if she didn't go back to Nanwu to take a look. She had already missed him once in her last life, so she couldn't have any regrets in this life.

Ke Xin didn't say anything, but Wen Hui couldn't help but ask, "Ali, do you have something to tell your mother?"

Glancing at the person beside him, Shang Tingli said without thinking, "No."

Wenhui didn't dare to expose her, for fear that her secret would be discovered.

[Mother, I actually have something to tell you! I want to ask you if you can allow me to go to Nanwu? There will be a big flood in Nanwu next month, and I will be worried if I don't go to check it out.]

Shang Tingli lowered his head and drank tea, feeling extremely anxious.

[Why aren't you leaving yet, my Lord? Please get out of here quickly, and don't let the Fourth Prince wait anxiously.]

Ke Xin raised his eyelids and sipped his tea slowly.

Time passed by little by little. After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the person next to him showed no intention of moving. Shang Tingli finally lost his temper and looked at Wenhui and said, "Mother, actually, actually I do have something to tell you."

[As long as the people of Nanwu can be saved from the dire situation, it doesn't matter whether that person is the Fourth Prince or not. It will only make things difficult for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.]

Although Wenhui already knew what she was going to say from her inner voice, she still showed an expression of wanting to hear more.

"Just say whatever you want to say, Ali."

Shang Tingli stood up and bowed to her: "I want to go to Nanwu to pay homage to my parents. Does my mother agree?"

It's not an excuse, it's what she wanted to do.

Wen Hui said lovingly, "Of course I agree. Mother is worried about Ali going alone, so why not let Xingchen go with you?"

Before Shang Tingli could speak, she added, "These are his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he should go and offer a toast."

"it is good."

Shang Tingli simply agreed. She couldn't refuse. Ever since she had the idea of ​​returning to Nanwu, she knew that this would most likely be the result, which was why she was so conflicted before.

However, she still placed her hopes on Ke Xin. She asked, "Sir, are you willing to accompany me back to Nanwu?"

[What if? Maybe the prince will refuse! ]

Ke Xin smiled: "Accompany."

Shang Tingli: “…Okay.”

She heard someone's heart break with a snap.

[Oh, there is no such thing, what if he agrees. ]

Wen Hui tried to hold back her laughter and said, "Ali, have you decided when to leave?"

Shang Tingli answered truthfully: "It would be best if we could set off today."

Time waits for no one, and she was afraid that she would not be able to catch up.

Wen Hui knew she was anxious, so she didn't say anything, but said: "Then you two can go back and prepare first, and don't come over when you leave."

"Yes."

After leaving Ronghua Hall and returning to Xinyuan, the two of them packed up their belongings neatly. Just as they were about to leave, Ke Yi came over.

He started shouting at the top of his voice as soon as he stepped into the yard, showing how excited he was.

"Sister-in-law——"

"Xiaowu is here?"

When Ke Yi saw the valuables in Fang Zhi and Gan Tang's hands, his enthusiasm faded a little and he calmed down.

He asked doubtfully, "Sister-in-law, are you going out?"

Shang Tingli nodded: "Yes."

"What are you doing here?" Ke Xin asked calmly.

Ke Yi blinked: "Nothing." His sister-in-law didn't want his eldest brother to know about the military book, for fear that he would work for the Fourth Prince after learning it, so he didn't tell her.

Only then did he realize that Ke Xin also had a bag on his shoulders.

"Brother, are you going out with your sister-in-law? Where are you going?"

Ke Xin said: "Children should not meddle in adult matters."

Ke Yi: “…”

"Xiaowu, you must study hard with your teacher and train well with Master Wu." Shang Tingli reminded.

[It took me so much effort to finally choose to trust you. These military books are precious. Please don't let me down, Ke Xiaowu.]

Ke Yi swore with four fingers and said very seriously: "Don't worry, sister-in-law! I will study hard!"

"Okay." Shang Tingli was quite satisfied.

Ke Xin watched coldly.

It turns out that the military book that I hung the key on my body to prevent him from peeking at was given to this kid Ke Xiaowu.

Tsk, it seems the discipline is not strict enough.

Knowing that they were going to Nanwu, Ke Yishang went out to see them off, even to the city gate.

Shang Tingli sent the people back. She just wanted to leave Beijing quietly without making such a big fuss. Besides, Yu Lanxi had already tested her twice, and she didn't want to expose her rebirth.

When the carriage was about to leave the city gate, Ke Xin asked the coachman outside to stop.

He looked sideways at her and said, "Can you wait for me here for two quarters of an hour?"
