I, Suiren, will teach Ziyi how to make stockings.

Ye Chongren's heart suddenly tightened, and an ominous premonition came over him. Could it be that Xiaodie and Xia Bingyun had clashed again? He couldn't help but think of the old saying: "When enemies meet, their eyes are particularly red." Although they were not enemies, they were both his women, and this complicated relationship gave him a headache.

As the saying goes, there can't be two tigers in one mountain, unless one is male and the other is female. But now, he has two tigresses by his side. This inherent hostility makes him feel caught in a dilemma.

Ye Chongren sighed helplessly. He had truly hoped the two women could get along. However, the reality was different. Xia Bingyun hadn't been seen, seemingly staying with the bitter woman. And Lu Xiaodie, while not a mean-spirited woman, would often say things that, intentionally or unintentionally, betrayed a hint of hostility toward Xia Bingyun.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Xiaodie's reaction was driven entirely by a sense of crisis. She was terrified. After all, she hadn't been able to conceive in years, while Xia Bingyun had managed to conceive in just two days and two nights. This was undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face for Lu Xiaodie, as if mocking her incompetence.

Therefore, during this period, she tried to get close to Ye Chongren many times, showing a sweet and loving appearance. However, Ye Chongren was in no mood to respond to her enthusiasm, and rarely agreed to her invitations.

At this moment, a soft call was heard: "Husband... Xiao Anzi is looking for you!"

Hearing this name, Ye Chongren's heart moved, and he immediately understood that the "Xiao Anzi" here should refer to Xu Qian'an.

Ye Chongren nodded, slowly stood up, and asked casually: "Let's go and take a look."

His steps seemed a little heavy, as if he was still thinking about other things. But he still followed the voice and walked towards the Nangong Imperial Clan.

Not long after, Ye Chongren arrived at the Nangong Imperial Clan. During this period of time, Xu Qian'an had been staying in the Nangong Imperial Clan. Although the head of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion had unfortunately passed away, fortunately with Ye Chongren's presence, everything was relatively stable and no major chaos had occurred.

As soon as he entered the Nangong Imperial Clan, Ye Chongren walked straight towards Nangong Ya's room. However, when he was about to reach the door, Lu Xiaodie suddenly reminded him, "He's not here."

Ye Chongren was startled when he heard this. He stopped immediately and asked in confusion, "Where is he?"

Lu Xiaodie smiled slightly, pointed in another direction, and said softly: "This way, follow me!"

Lu Xiaodie often traveled between the Nangong Imperial Clan and Shangcang Academy, and she was worried about Xu Qian'an being locked up in his room all by himself. So, she decided to go out for a walk and get some fresh air.

She slowly walked out of the complex and arrived at a place behind the mountain. Facing the Nangong Imperial Clan's buildings, a waterfall cascaded down the mountain like the Milky Way falling from the sky, splashing water everywhere and forming a winding river below. The river shimmered, seemingly calm, but undercurrents surged.

Lu Xiaodie stood quietly by the river, gazing at the shimmering water, her mind full of thoughts. At this moment, she suddenly noticed Xu Qian'an sitting quietly under a peach tree not far away, staring blankly into the distance.

Lu Xiaodie said softly: "Before, Yaya and Xiao Anzi actually liked to come here. I heard that Yaya's mother once brought her here." Her voice was a little low, and seemed to carry a hint of sadness.

At this moment, Ye Chongren also walked to Xu Qian'an's side. Looking at his stunned look, Ye Chongren couldn't help but said, "Finally you're willing to come out!"

Xu Qian'an's body trembled violently, as if startled by the sudden sound. He stood up hurriedly, his expression still as wooden as ever, without the slightest fluctuation.
