Bai Chi did not go out directly, nor did he say that he could not go out. Instead, he went to find Zhong Yunxiao.

He was just worried that he didn't have the chance to initiate a conversation, but Zhong Yunxiao was just too patient.

If I hadn't seen it, it would have been fine, I wouldn't have thought about it.

But it was obvious that the courtyards of the eldest and second young masters were next to each other, and they were only separated by a wall, and they couldn't eat or touch each other. Bai Chi was very worried.

Here it comes, the opportunity has finally arrived!

Zhong Yunxiao had just finished reading the information about his younger brother's widow and was feeling heartbroken.

He has always been a man of integrity and considered himself a gentleman. Even when he was doing business in a brothel, he never behaved inappropriately with the girls.

Despite his parents' urging to get married, he never just married a girl.

He always felt that marriage was a lifelong matter and could not be taken lightly or compromised.

However, what he didn't expect was that the person he fell in love with at first sight was his brother's newly married wife at his brother's funeral.

Even, after death.

Thinking about the previous arrangements at home, the only thing Zhong Yunxiao was thankful for was that when he learned that his parents had decided to let his sister-in-law live in the same room with his brother's coffin, which could also be considered a wedding night, he felt that the Zhong family had been unfair to the second young master's wife who had not yet married into the family, so he suggested not letting the other party know about this.

I don’t know, but at least I won’t be afraid or scared.

Zhong Yunxiao didn't believe in ghosts and gods. Sometimes when he was on the road and encountered bad weather, he even stayed in a charity cemetery, but he also knew that most people would be scared.

He had good intentions at first, but now he just felt lucky.

Fortunately, I mentioned it at that time.

But even he himself did not expect that at his second brother's funeral, when the slender and delicate Second Young Master's wife, dressed in plain clothes, slowly walked towards him with the support of her maid, he was actually stunned for a moment.

Why? Because of my sister-in-law.

Although they were only separated by a wall, their identities were different. Apart from instructing the servants to take good care of the second young master's wife in the name of his brother, he had no reason to care about him or go to find him.

In particular, apart from paying respects to his parents every morning, his sister-in-law rarely goes out, and he can only see her at that time.

Nowadays, the place Zhong Yunxiao spends most of his time is the study. He used to go there to look at account books, but now he has added a hobby of reading books and practicing calligraphy.

The study is the room closest to the next door. The window at the back of the study is open, facing the yard at the back, and is only about ten feet away from the yard wall.

At this distance, you can clearly hear the voices on the other side of the courtyard wall.

Sometimes he was chatting with the maid, and sometimes the teacher asked him to recite.

Zhong Yunxiao felt that he was sorry for his deceased second brother, but he couldn't control his thoughts.

At midnight, I thought of my second brother who always wandered around in the flower garden. For a moment, I felt that my second brother...

Retracting his thoughts, Zhong Yunxiao folded the few pages of paper in his hand and put them in his arms. His eyes were obscure and unclear, and his thoughts could not be seen.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the door, the voice he had been secretly listening to for half a month.

"Is Big Brother here? I have something to ask you. My parents went to the temple outside the city today."

Hearing this voice, Zhong Yunxiao stood up almost instinctively and walked out a little faster.

Until I heard the servant's voice.

"The eldest young master is in the study. Madam Second Young Master, please wait a moment. I will go and tell the eldest young master."

The servant's words calmed Zhong Yunxiao down and he sat back behind the desk.

Xiao Hei and Bai Chi, who saw the whole scene, were almost dying of laughter.

"Master, I really thought he was so patient, but it turns out he almost ran over here just by hearing your voice."

'I was almost intimidated by him.'

Bai Chi and Xiao Tao waited at the gate of Zhong Yunxiao's courtyard for a while before they saw Zhong Yunxiao come out.

He originally wanted to be reserved, and when the servant told him that Bai Chi was looking for him, he deliberately waited for a while, as if he was thinking, and then got up and went out.

As a result, the moment I saw the white incense outside the gate, my pace became much faster.

Even the servant behind him was almost changing from walking normally to jogging.
