Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Tuoba Liuli wanted to say that she didn't understand anything, and even if she stayed, most of the things in the future would be handled by A-Li, and there was nothing she could do.

Before getting married, she was just a carefree young girl.

But for some reason, after meeting Chu Xiaohe's sincere gaze, she seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant.

She could no longer be that ignorant girl who didn't care about anything.

She is now Brother Chu's wife, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Duke's mansion, and Ali's sister-in-law.

As the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Now that she is Ali's elder sister-in-law, she has to take good care of Ali.

There was also the old Duke.

According to what Ali and her third aunt had said before, her grandfather's health wouldn't last more than a few days. Yesterday, when they offered tea, they went to Huiyan Pavilion in person and knelt in front of the bed to offer tea to the old Duke.

The old Duke's health is really failing; what if...?

Tuoba Liuli held Chu Xiaohe's hand tightly, clearly wanting to say a lot, but at this moment, she felt that there was no need to say anything.

She couldn't be so selfish as to abandon the entire Duke's mansion and leave with him.

"Li'er, you are a good girl. I know you will take good care of everyone in the Duke's mansion and wait for me to come back, right?"

"Do you really want to use this kind of responsibility to stop me from going to Southern Mongolia with you?" Tuoba Liuli bit her lip, a hint of moisture in her eyes.

They had just gotten married; last night was their wedding night.

They still have many things to accomplish together.

Why is he leaving me?

It's impossible not to feel wronged.

Chu Xiaohe sighed softly, pulled her into his arms, and said helplessly, "You know, I can't not go. If I don't go, I can't face everyone in the Duke's mansion, and I can't face myself either."

"Li'er, I'm sorry, I know I've wronged you, but I..."

"It's okay." Tuoba Liuli buried her face in his chest, squeezed her eyes shut, and tried her best to force back all the tears that were about to spill out.

"It's okay, I will take good care of this family. I'll wait for you to come back, and I'll wait for you to bring our family back with you!"

……

As soon as Chu Yueli returned to the Duke's Mansion, she went to Huo Qing's courtyard.

She thought that her third aunt must be trying to get rid of Zisu and her second aunt and find a way to go to Nanmeng, but when she arrived, she saw Huo Qing and Miao Yucui drying herbs together.

"Third Aunt..." Chu Yueli was stunned. This scene was completely different from what she had imagined.

However, although Huo Qing was drying the medicine, her eyes were red, and Chu Yueli could tell at a glance that she had been crying.

"Second Aunt." Chu Yueli looked at Miao Yucui, wondering what had happened and why her third aunt seemed so calm.

"Miss," Zisu was still not used to calling her Princess Consort. After thinking it over, she decided that she should just call her Miss.

Chu Yueli will always be her mistress.

"Miss, I'll go prepare some tea and snacks for everyone." As Zisu turned to leave, she gave Chu Yueli a look.

When she arrived, Madam Qing was in this state, and she did not act impulsively at all.

Chu Yueli nodded, and after Zisu left, she looked at Huo Qing and Miao Yucui: "Second Aunt, Third Aunt, you've both heard about what happened at Molang Mountain, haven't you?"

"Is Ali afraid that I'll act impulsively like Sister Anran and immediately set off for Nanmeng?"

Huo Qing looked at her and sighed helplessly: "If I go, wouldn't that just add to your burden? The Duke's mansion will be even more chaotic then, won't it?"
