"I'll accompany you." He helped her up and held her wrist without any obstruction. "Your hands are a little cold. Wear more clothes in the morning."

Yingyue looked at him holding her hand. The warmth of his palm came from the touching skin, and she couldn't help but breathe softly.

"After breakfast, I will leave Beijing for a few days to assist the Dali Temple in handling a case. If you want to practice archery, just come to my courtyard."

Yingyue looked up at him, "Where are you going? How long will it take you to come back?"

Feng Huaiji raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Meng County under the jurisdiction of the capital, I will be back in three days."

He restrained his expression and stepped back. "Can't bear to leave me? Three days will pass quickly. I'll leave Qingming here. You can find him if you need anything."

"oh."

After finishing breakfast, Feng Huaiji handed her the oil-paper bag he brought back, "Lotus root powder and osmanthus cake, try it, I'm leaving now."

"be safe."

"Okay." Feng Huaiji turned and went out. When he reached the gate, he looked back and she was watching him go away.

Feng Huaiji turned around and continued to walk out.

That’s enough. I’ll make plans after she recognizes her relatives.

Yingyue lowered her head, opened the oil paper package, took out a piece of osmanthus cake and ate it in small bites.

On the first day that Feng Huaiji left the mansion, Yingyue missed him a little.

The second day after not seeing Feng Huaiji, Yingyue felt that the day passed slowly.

The day before Feng Huaiji came back, Yingyue finished her archery practice and returned to Qinghui Courtyard, where she saw Yu Wu sitting in the courtyard waiting for her.

"Mother."

Yu Wu looked at her, "Where have you been going again? I haven't seen you for two days."

"I went to practice archery in my second brother's courtyard." Yingyue lay on her knees, "Mom, my arms are sore, can you rub them for me?"

Yu Wu massaged her arm and asked, "Why are you bothering your second brother so much?"

"My second brother doesn't mind me being a bother. He has been out on a case these days and is not in the mansion."

"Although you are brother and sister, there should be a limit to how you get along with each other. Jiaojiao is already a grown-up girl."

Yingyue's eyes dimmed slightly, "I understand."

As the day of his return drew closer, she missed him more and more and longed to be by his side more and more.

She began to feel uneasy, panicky, and worried about gains and losses again.

If he really has a wife in the future, can she really watch him be nice to others?

If she waited a little longer, until he got married, she would no longer be greedy for his kindness to her and would no longer look for him.

Seeing that she looked a little sad, Yu Wu sighed and stroked her hair gently, "Forget it, Jiaojiao, do whatever you want. Nothing can compare to your happiness."

They are not biological siblings after all, so even if some inappropriate feelings arise, it can still be resolved.

"You can do whatever you want. Mother will pave all the way for you. You just need to be happy."

Yingyue's heart trembled, and she looked up at her, "Mother, are you hiding something from me?"

She wanted to ask her if she had noticed it, but she was a little afraid to ask.

Yu Wu smiled. The Jiaojiao she raised was really smart. She thought that now was the time to let her know some things. She touched her daughter's head and said, "Actually..."

After hearing this, Yingyue was stunned.

The next day, Yingyue got up half an hour earlier than usual, and went to Qingzhuyuan after washing up.

Qing Ming was a little surprised to see her come so early, "Miss Jiu, have you had breakfast?"

"No."

"Then I'll ask the kitchenette to make it for you."

"Okay, is the second brother back?"

“No.”

"Oh, then you go ahead and do your thing. I'm going to practice archery for a while."

After three days of hard work, she was now able to hit the target.

“It’s been a big improvement.”

Hearing the familiar voice, Yingyue turned around happily and threw herself into his arms, "Second brother, you're back!"

Xuanqing, Zhuling and the other three pretended not to see it.

Feng Huaiji breathed lightly at the softness in his arms, but he only rubbed her head, his expression normal, "Well, I'm back. It turns out Jiaojiao missed me so much."
