Li Lian brought over tea, and the two knelt down to offer it. Liu Huan then accepted two large red envelopes.
Then Su's mother took out a jade bracelet, which looked quite valuable, and put it on her wrist.
Wiping away her tears, she said, "I have no other expectations for you, I only hope that you will live a peaceful and healthy life without illness or disaster."
She always treated Liu Huan like a daughter, and even if Liu Huan couldn't become a daughter-in-law of the Su family, she still hoped that Liu Huan could marry a good man.
Su's father only advised Su Yi to treat Liu Huan well, and as for the standard, it was that if she cried, then it was not good.
Su Yi nodded, "Father, Mother, don't worry, I... I will definitely treat her well."
Liu Huan heard him hesitate for a moment, unsure of his meaning, but with so many people around, she couldn't make a scene.
Then, thinking that perhaps I was overthinking it, I happily accepted the red envelopes from my sister and brother-in-law, and then gave the things I had prepared to my nephews and nieces.
Only then did he follow Su Yi back.
But when Su Yi left, he went in the wrong direction. Liu Huan shouted, "Shi Tou, what's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were going back to your room?"
Su Yi turned around and looked at that harmless face, feeling a mix of emotions. He didn't know what was wrong with him, why all he could think about were those arrogant and domineering scenes of Liu Huan.
Not wanting to face her, he made an excuse: "I feel a bit bored and want to go for a walk. You go back first and don't worry about me."
Liu Huan couldn't believe he had just abandoned her like that. She was worried and angry, but in the end, she ignored everything and went back to her room to continue sleeping.
Su Yi arrived at the old courtyard and touched the door that looked like it was about to collapse. He didn't know how to express the things on his mind.
Looking at Changbai beside him, he asked, "Do you want to go back and take a look?"
Changbai looked up at him with a puzzled expression. "Master, have you forgotten that I am an orphan?"
Su Yi remembered that the servant beside him was not called by this name, but since he could become his servant, he must be someone he trusted.
"I hit my head a few days ago and I can't remember a lot of things."
Hearing Su Yi say this, Changbai suddenly realized, "Is it because you inexplicably fainted and hit your head when you and the Third Young Master disappeared in Biancheng?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yi immediately agreed, "Yes, there are always some things I can't remember since that day."
Changbai immediately said seriously, "Master, should I go and fetch a doctor?"
Su Yi declined, "No need, it's just that I sometimes forget things, so I won't invite you for now. There are just some things I can't remember and I need you to remind me."
Changbai told him everything he knew, including the time when he followed Su Yi, which was around the time Liu Huan disappeared.
At that time, Su Yi was depressed and listless all day long. It was only when Su Cheng told him that Liu Huan was still waiting for him that he cheered up.
"Your Highness, you searched for Miss for several years, and even became the top scholar in the imperial examination just to go to the capital to find her. In the end, you found her at the Prince's Mansion."
Changbai then recounted their trip to the border town, from rushing back to celebrate the New Year with her on New Year's Eve to finding a caravan to escort her, down to the smallest detail.
"Don't tell anyone about this. Maybe I'll be fine in a few days."
"Yes, Master."
Su Yi looked around, feeling a mix of emotions, but he stopped dwelling on it. Since it had already happened, he wanted to see what was going on.
Was it a misremembering memory, or had Lady Liu reformed herself?
When he arrived at the door, he remembered what Changbai had said: that he cared a lot about Liu Shi, so he had to give an explanation for his cold treatment of her today.
He pushed open the door, put on a smile, and found the person on the bed asleep.
Looking closely at the person on the bed, she had a small face and a high nose bridge. Her mouth was slightly open as she slept, and her legs and hands were wrapped around the blanket. She was sleeping soundly.
They looked harmless, but who would have thought that it was this very face that would lead to the destruction of their family?
No, that's not right. If it were really a case of family ruin and death, then why are his parents still alive? He felt that it might just be a dream, but for some reason, it felt so real.
Liu Huan was awakened by his burning gaze. Still half-asleep, she took his hand and rubbed it against her cheek, "Stone~"
The woman's sweet, coquettish voice stirred something within him. He knew it was an instinctive reaction; even if he couldn't remember the exact words, he felt an unconscious tenderness towards her.
Liu Huan rubbed for a while before opening her eyes. The first thing she did was complain, "What's wrong with you? Everyone's gone when I woke up. What's the difference between you and a scumbag?"
Su Yi knew she would blame him, so he explained, "It's my fault. I haven't been sleeping well these past few days because of a headache, and I did something that made you angry."
Upon hearing that he had a headache, Liu Huan became worried. "Where does it hurt? The army doctor said that your head would hurt whenever it rained after you injured it that day, but why does it hurt even in the bright sunshine of August and September?"
The heartache in her eyes was genuine. Su Yi pulled her wandering hand away, "It's nothing, you'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Liu Huan said, "Let's go back to the capital as soon as possible. In case of any trouble, the doctors in the capital are better than here. If all else fails, there are imperial physicians. His Highness the Crown Prince has taken a liking to you, so he probably won't stand idly by."
Su Yi's eyes narrowed. "How do you know His Highness the Crown Prince has taken a liking to me?"
"Didn't you say it yourself?" Liu Huan felt that he was seriously ill and could not be delayed any longer.
