When Ning Qing returned, she was already dressed in a white robe and carrying a small bundle in her hand.

Ning Qing handed the bundle in her hand to Meng Zhengxi.

"General, there are clean robes here. Would you like to put them on yourself, or should I help you?"

Meng Zhengxi's ears turned slightly red as he reached out and snatched the bundle from Ning Qing's hands.

They quickly ran behind the big tree.

Ning Qing watched his retreating figure, a slight smile curving her lips.

These clothes were not something she had prepared in advance; she took them out of her spatial storage.

Ning Qing gathered firewood from the spot and started a fire.

When Meng Zhengxi, dressed in a well-fitting blue robe, came to Ning Qing.

"Is this your dress? It fits you quite well."

Ning Qing stood up from the large rock.

"No, this was prepared especially for you."

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhengxi couldn't help but smile.

I looked up at the moon in the sky.

"It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

Ning Qing: "Okay, I'm sleepy anyway."

I've already had my midnight snack, so I can sleep peacefully now.

Three days later, after finishing breakfast, Meng Zhengxi looked at Ning Qing.

"Xiao Qing, I'm free today, how about I take you for a stroll around the city?"

Ning Qing's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

He immediately stood up and pulled Meng Zhengxi, who was still sitting in the chair.

"Okay, let's go."

It was already half an hour later when the two of them rode their horses to the city gate.

Today happened to be market day, and the city was especially lively. The two of them strolled around, buying and eating as they went.

They embarked on a frenzied shopping spree.

As noon approached, Meng Zhengxi wanted to find a tavern to make up for Ning Qing's regret at having her wine jar taken away by him last time.

Ning Qing shook her head at him.

"I have a better place to go."

The ideal place Ning Qing mentioned was, of course, a property she had helped Shu Yun acquire.

I might as well go and see how little Shu Yun is doing these days.

So when she bought the house, she also bought it through a real estate agent. An old woman took care of her daily life, and a maid accompanied her. Logically speaking, these two people should have taken good care of her.

Ning Qing led Meng Zhengxi to a small house and stopped in front of it, only to find the gate tightly closed.

Ning Qing stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a short while, a clear, melodious voice came from inside.

"Who is it?"

Ning Qing replied, "It's me, Ning Qing."

Then, a startled cry came from inside.

"Brother, is that you, brother?"

The door opened from the inside, revealing two small figures.

One of the red figures saw Ning Qing standing at the door.

With a look of surprise and delight, she rushed into Ning Qing's arms and hugged Ning Qing's waist tightly with both hands.

"Brother, is it really you? You've come to see me?"

His voice was filled with surprise and joy.

Ning Qing smiled slightly and gently rubbed her head.

"Yes, your brother has come to see you. Let's see if our little Shuyun has grown any taller."

Shu Yun lifted her head from Ning Qing's embrace, her large eyes filled with starlight.

"Yes! I have indeed grown a little taller."

A slightly cold voice came from behind the two of them.

"What are you doing?"

The two figures, one large and one small, who were tightly embracing each other, both looked back.

Meng Zhengxi stood behind the two men with a dark expression, his eyes filled with displeasure and a hint of coldness.
