It was getting late, so Song Yao and his companions did not continue their journey and chose a place to set up camp.

The tent was set up and the fire was lit. Song Yao felt a little cold, so she went to warm herself by the fire.

But when she was warming herself by the fire, she felt her ears were extremely hot, as if someone was scolding her.

Seeing her rubbing her ears, Song He asked, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just feel my ears are a little hot." Song Yao's tone was very calm.

"Oh." Song He didn't say anything else. Seeing that Xiao Sui Sui had fallen asleep in her arms, she said to Song Yao, "Sister, Xiao Sui Sui has fallen asleep. I'll take him to bed first."

"Go ahead." Song Yao said.

After Song He left with Xiao Suisui in her arms, Xiao Yan followed behind.

Seeing that both of them left, and left together, Song Yao frowned.

She looked at E Yu beside her and said, "Sister-in-law, what are they doing..."

E Yu chuckled. "Ah He hasn't been riding in our carriage lately. She's been riding in the carriage that Prince Jing rides in. This has been going on for three days in a row, and Prince Jing hasn't refused. The two of them are often together chatting. Isn't it strange?"

Song Yao frowned, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "So, Prince Jing has developed a crush on Ah He? So, wherever Ah He goes, he goes there? He even stayed alone with her to chat. I think this is just as I said."

"I think so too." E Yu laughed twice. "I wanted to ask Ah He, but I was afraid she would get angry, so I didn't ask."

Song Yao relaxed her frown. She glanced at the tent Song He had entered, then looked at E Yu. "They probably haven't broken through that window paper yet. Once they do, the truth will be revealed!"

The fact is, Xiao Yan and Song He were indeed very close during this period.

Xiao Yan witnessed Song He's accident with his own eyes. As a man in a feudal society, he actually chose to get so close to Song He.

Could it be that he doesn't mind at all?

Could it be that he really has fallen in love with Song He?

If that's the case, then Xiao Yan is truly a real man. Of course, if they really get together, she will sincerely bless them.

E Yu suddenly said, "Ayao, do you know? Mother has always been hoping that Ah He can be with Prince Jing. She has asked me several times in the past two days, asking me if I know anything. I am really impressed."

Song Yao said calmly, "She didn't see any hope in me, so of course she would place all her hopes on Ah He. However, Ah He is not someone she can control. Even if Ah He is with Prince Jing, she won't listen to her."

"Yes!" E Yu said, "I've discovered a problem. Ah He seems to only listen to you."

Song Yao laughed, "Isn't this good?"

"It's pretty good!" E Yu also laughed.

Song Zizhou came over and saw that they were both laughing. He said, "You are laughing so happily. What are you talking about?"

Song Yao turned her head and glanced at Song Zizhou. "We didn't talk about anything. Aren't you going to the woods with Song Qing and the others to chop wood? How come you have the time to come over and ask all sorts of questions?"

"I'm here to get the axe. You guys chat, I'm leaving first!" Song Zizhou took the axe and walked away.

After he left, E Yu's expression changed, and he asked seriously, "Ayao, haven't you forgiven Xiao Chi? Why doesn't your relationship seem to have made any progress recently?"

"What progress can there be?" Song Yao glanced at E Yu, then looked at the fire in front of them. "I only forgave him and stayed with him for the sake of the child, but our relationship hasn't developed to the point where I need to be affectionate with him."

Xiao Chi's appearance is indeed very good-looking to Song Yao, but good looks cannot be eaten, so she wants to test Xiao Chi to see if he can bear it, to see if he will get angry and then suddenly leave.

There are too many uncertain factors now, and Song Yao must ensure that everything is foolproof.

To prevent him from doing anything weird when she truly accepts him.

"Haha." E Yu laughed, but nothing else happened.

Song Yao glanced at her and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you laughing at?"

"You're just being stubborn!" E Yu stood up. "You should follow your heart, don't just be stubborn. Don't wait until you lose something before you know how to cherish it. Okay, I'm going to go see Xiaobao."

The Xiaobao she was referring to was naturally the child she and Song Zizhou had. Now the child was being taken care of by Su Zhen and Song Yuanbo, and at other times he was looked after by Song Silan and Feng Yingying.

"Go ahead." Song Yao glanced at her and continued to roast the fire.

Not long after E Yu left, Xiao Chi came and sat down next to Song Yao.

"Your sister-in-law is gone?" He looked at Song Yao, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes, and even his voice became a little softer.

Song Yao turned her head and glanced at him, then said calmly, "Yeah."

Recently, Xiao Chi has been feeling anxious and worried.

On the day he was poisoned, Song Yao stayed with him every step of the way and said in person that she would forgive him, but after that, Song Yao rarely spoke to him, so that throughout the day, apart from talking about the children, they could not say more than three sentences to each other.

Song Yao has a cold personality, so he takes the initiative. But even if he takes the initiative, Song Yao ignores him and doesn't give him any response.

This made Xiao Chi very anxious, but he didn't dare to ask directly because he was afraid that Song Yao would be angry, so he kept it in mind.

Seeing him staring at her, Song Yao frowned slightly, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Ayao..." Xiao Chi hesitated to speak.

"What?" Song Yao looked at him.

"Is there something about me that you're not satisfied with? If so, you can tell me directly and I'll change it. But please don't..." Xiao Chi lowered his dark eyes, feeling sad, "Please don't ignore me."

"what?"

Song Yao looked incredulous. She had never expected that such words could come out of Xiao Chi's mouth.

Xiao Chi no longer retreated. He shifted his gaze to Song Yao's face and looked directly into her eyes. "Is there anything about me that you are not satisfied with? You can tell me directly and I will change it."

"Uh." Song Yao's face darkened. "Although I forgive you, I haven't truly accepted you as my husband. This is a process, and I don't want to take this step so quickly. If you can't accept it, you can choose to give up. Even if you give up, you are still Xiao Suisui and their father. Even I can't change that."

A flash of pain flashed across Xiao Chi's eyes, and his heart suddenly felt a tearing pain. No wonder Song Yao had been so indifferent to him recently. So this was what was going on.

Xiao Chi turned his head to look at the bonfire in front of him, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I know, I won't force you, just take your time."

Song Yao glanced at him and saw that he looked lost and hurt. She didn't say anything and got up and left.

But what she didn't know was that when she turned to leave, Xiao Chi turned his head to look at him, and his eyes looked very hurt.
