"Why, do you like standing outside in the wind? Since you're here, come and have a cup of hot tea." Zhao Que stared at the woman in front of him who was familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar.

He was dressed in white, with a sword at his waist and his long hair tied up with a willow hairpin. His facial features were delicate, yet he had a chivalrous air.

After pouring a cup of smoking hot tea and looking at the door, Xue Xuexuan said softly.

"I'm afraid you're not at home, and I'm also afraid your wife will kick me out." Xue Xuexuan saw this person, and since he came, she was not so entangled.

Without any hesitation, he stepped forward and sat on the stone bench, placing his sword next to the Go board.

"Not yet? What? Did you come back from doing business? Why didn't you bring me a gift after making so much money?"

Zhao Que looked at Xue Xuexuan at this moment. They had known each other for more than ten years, and he couldn't help but want to tease her.

He had returned to the capital a long time ago, but Da Gan was not strict with the prince, and he did not have to live in the palace, so he came to this courtyard to rest.

"Haha, I forgot. I'll bring it to you next time I have the chance." Xue Xuexuan drank the hot tea in one gulp and motioned Chunyu to pour another one for herself.

It seems that here, all those things can go away.

It wasn't that she really forgot, but she didn't know how to tell the person in front of her, and whether she should take out the gift.

"You're back too. Didn't you say you were going to Jiangnan to visit relatives?" Xue Xuexuan was a little confused as to why Zhao Que appeared here.

"The official silver in Jiangnan was stolen. I was afraid that any problems would implicate me, so I came back first." Zhao Que shrugged and gave a reason.

"Xiao Que, you don't have to be afraid. The case has been closed." Xue Xuexuan naturally knew the inside story of all this. The eighth prince had already handled the case.

In her eyes, Zhao Que naturally didn't know his identity, and she herself didn't know Zhao Que's specific identity either.
