Huang Jiuyuan didn't want to say anything more. He pushed away Huang Xie'er's hand and walked back to his room.

Seeing this, the old lady sighed and said, "Xie'er, you should change your words from now on. You were originally concerned about Yuan'er, but now Yuan'er is angry, and also annoyed that you, his elder sister, don't care about him."

Huang Xie'er felt helpless. After her mother left, she and her younger brother were left alone. They had been dependent on each other in the mansion since they were young and were raised by their grandmother. She had always been worried about her younger brother.

But Huang Jiuyuan was used to making trouble, and she just wanted to give her brother some advice. Over the years, he would be unhappy every time she talked about him.

The relationship between them gradually became more and more distant, and Huang Jiuyuan often avoided her.

Huang Xie'er supported her grandmother. Her grandmother patted the back of her hand and said lovingly, "Don't hold it against Yuan'er. If you marry into the Third Prince's mansion in the future, you must remember this little brother. There are many wolves and tigers in the mansion. If your grandmother is gone, you two will be each other's support. Jiuyuan is only like this because he lost his mother and no one understands him. As his sister, you must give him more understanding."

Huang Xie'er said, "I know, Grandma."

The old lady was relieved after hearing this. "That's good to know. Go to my room and get some ointment and send it to Yuan'er."

"But...Yuan'er is angry with me."

"How can siblings hold grudges overnight? Yuan'er is just like that. If you send him over, he won't be angry with you."

When Huang Xier came to Huang Jiuyuan's house with the ointment, she hesitated for a moment and knocked on the door.

Huang Jiuyuan said impatiently, "Don't bother me today."

"it's me."

When he heard his sister's voice, he was so angry that he didn't want to open the door and stayed in the room sulking.

After a while, there was no sound outside.

He was angry and left after just a moment. It seemed that his sister's apology was insincere and she didn't take him to heart.

He walked to the door and opened it. Huang Xier was standing at the door looking at him apologetically.

He walked into the house again in a huff, leaving the door open.

He lived alone in this small cottage, and his eight concubines lived in a large courtyard next door.

Seeing that her elder sister looked apologetic and wanted to say something, he couldn't bear it. After all, they had depended on each other since childhood. Although her elder sister didn't understand her, she was really good to him.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you apply medicine to me?"

Huang Xie'er smiled knowingly when she heard this. She applied medicine to Huang Jiuyuan and said with all her heart, "Yuan'er, don't blame me. Sometimes I just want to care about you, but the words just change when they come out of my mouth."

Huang Jiuyuan suddenly thought that her elder sister would be marrying into the Third Prince's mansion soon, and that only her grandmother would be left to protect her. She felt a little uncomfortable, "Sister, I never blame you. I just got angry for a moment. If you marry into the Third Prince's mansion in the future, you must not be so gentle. You need to be more aggressive so that others won't try to get ahead of you."

Huang Xieer curled her lips and smiled, "I know."

In Helan Mansion.

After the three of them returned from Wenxiang Tower, little Yuanzhao clamored to write a letter to his brother.

Helan Xuenuo also agreed to his request, "What do you want to write this time?"

Xiao Yuanzhao said, "Brother, Sister Xuenuo and I dug up treasure in the secret room today, and were almost hacked to death by two masked men. Fortunately, my sister was smart and saved me. But I was almost killed by the prince. The prince actually told the bandits that I was a child and could be killed if they wanted. I really hate that prince. He must be a pervert. When my sister was kidnapped, he was willing to save her, but when I was kidnapped, he let the masked men kill me. It made me so angry. And... Huang Jiuyuan insisted on going with us. Huang Jiuyuan is also very annoying, so annoying! He pinched my face so many times that I couldn't count, and he also said that he would meet you when he had the chance. I don't want you to meet this annoying guy..."

Helan Xuenuo interrupted, "Do you really want to write all this? Aren't you afraid your brother will worry?"

Little Yuanzhao said coquettishly, "No matter what, no matter what, I have to write it."

Helan Xuenuo had no choice but to write as he said, "Anything else to add?"

Xiao Yuanzhao's face was a little sad, and he said, "Brother, I miss you and my parents. Come back soon."

After Helan Xuenuo finished writing, he grabbed a piece of paper and started scribbling again, asking Helan Xuenuo not to peek and to send it to his brother together.

It will only take ten days for the messenger from Helan Prefecture to deliver it.

The three of them were so tired that day that their bodies ached. Xiao Zhu specially soaked mugwort leaves in hot water. Each of them had a wooden basin, and the three of them leaned on recliners to soak their feet.

On the right side, each person has a cup of mulberry juice, which is made with honey and is particularly sweet.

Xiao Yuanzhao took a sip, his face intoxicated. "Xiaozhu, you really didn't lie to me. Mulberry juice is really delicious. When I leave, can you bring some for my brothers to try?"

Xiao Zhu's face was covered with a thin handkerchief. The warmth between her feet was radiating out, and her whole body felt warm and comfortable. She lay there lazily and replied lazily, "Okay."

The three of them soaked their feet, watched the stars and chatted.

Xiao Yuanzhao fell asleep while drinking and was carried back by Xiaozhu.

Day two.

The servants in the mansion brought a few packages early in the morning. When Helan Xuunuo and Xiaozhu opened them, they found it was Liancheng sour jujube cake.

Xiao Zhu exclaimed, "It seems that Mr. Huang is not so unreliable."

Helan Xuonuo picked up a piece and ate it. It was indeed a fake sour jujube cake from Beijing.

But the journey is so urgent, how much money would it cost to have someone deliver it so early?

It seems that I can't completely disbelieve what Huang Jiuyuan says from now on.

After eating.

Xiao Zhu took the ointment and applied it to the wound on Helan Xuenuo's neck. It couldn't be seen from a distance, so one had to look closely to see it clearly.

After a day, the wound no longer hurts.

Because Helan Xuenuo had promised Wen Jing a date at Wenxianglou the day before, he urged Xiaozhu to go to Wenxianglou.

Xiao Zhu was puzzled and said, "Miss, it's early morning now, there's no need to rush. Shopkeeper Wen may not be here."

Helan Xuonuo said, "It's better to arrive early than to arrive late. Go early and come back early. You can go to Mu Kong to practice martial arts in the evening."

When Xiao Zhu heard that Mu Kong was going to practice martial arts, his movements became faster.

Helan Xuenuo thought about the day when she went to the suburbs and was almost assassinated. It seemed that she had to be careful in the future. If she went out to do anything next time, she had to find someone reliable to protect her.

Looking throughout the mansion, there is only one person who is most suitable and whom she trusts the most.

In the previous life, Mu Kong did not escape alone because of his parents' entrustment. He was willing to sacrifice his life to save her from the palace. Although he failed, it was enough to show Mu Kong's loyalty to the Helan Mansion.

She followed Xiao Zhu to talk about this matter with her parents. After all, Mu Kong was a major general in the mansion, and sending people had to get the consent of General Helan and others.

General Helan and the old lady agreed quickly. They didn't know what Helan Xuenuo had experienced, and she didn't want to tell them to avoid her parents' worry.

After Xiao Zhu learned of Helan Xuenuo's idea, she secretly rejoiced and said with a smile, "Miss, then from now on, Mu Kong and I will be inseparable, right?"

"As for you... there are so many men in this world. Look more at those around you. There might be one who is more suitable for you." Helan Xuenuo shook her head helplessly.

Thinking that Xiao Zhu was going to find Mu Kong to practice martial arts in the afternoon, she asked Xiao Zhu to talk to Mu Kong about the matter.

Xiao Zhu happily agreed.

The master and servant went their separate ways, Helan Xuenuo returned to the bamboo house, and Xiaozhu went to Wenxiang Tower.

Unexpectedly, when Xiaozhu was leaving the house, she happened to meet Mu Kong.

Mu Kong and her met face to face, and Xiao Zhu asked, "Mu Kong, where have you been?"

Mu Kong's expression was stern, with dark circles under his eyes. "Are you alone?"
