Xie Xianyu had almost recovered from his injuries and had started to handle official business. He now held an important position in the court, so his life was not idle.
Early this morning, Cuizhu hurried in to announce that the master had arrived.
Wanruo had just come to bring him medicine. After putting the medicine down, she tactfully left.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the master left with a serious expression. Wanruo pushed the door open again, only to see Xie Xianyu sitting behind the desk, pondering.
"What's wrong?" Wan Ruo asked curiously.
"There's some trouble in Qizhou, I have to go there."
Wan Ruo looked calm: "What's the trouble?"
"A case has occurred, which may be related to the last salt tax case."
If it were anything else, he wouldn't bother to care, but the salt tax case was of great importance after all. Even if there was a possibility of involvement, he couldn't be careless and had to go.
Wanruo frowned slightly: "But my cousin's injury just happened. Will it be bad for his health if he runs around now?"
He pinched her face and said, "Do you think I'm made of porcelain?"
Wan Ruo looked at him blankly, and he sighed softly: "I'm worried about missing the auspicious day in seven days."
"Qizhou and Yanjing City are not far away. One day is enough to come here. How could I miss it?"
"I'm worried that the situation will be too troublesome and I won't be able to make it in time."
Wan Ruo smiled and said, "Then just choose another auspicious day. It's not a big deal."
He held her hand in his, wrapped her small hand in his palm, and said seriously: "Of course it's big."
Wanruo was stunned for a moment, and her heart suddenly felt numb.
He suddenly said, "Why not just forget it?"
"What?" She was stunned.
"Or maybe I'd better not go."
Somehow, he felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart. He didn't know where this uneasiness came from. It was obvious that she had been obedient and understanding these days, and it was obvious that the agenda for her to take a concubine had already been set.
But he always felt uneasy in his heart, wondering if he was overthinking.
"Then what should I do? This is the most important thing. If you give up your important duties in the government because of me, the eldest lady will probably dislike me again." Wanruo muttered.
He took her hand and sat her on his lap: "You are becoming more and more timid."
Wanruo snorted softly: "I don't want to embarrass you, but you must remember to hurry up. If you don't come within seven days, I will never talk to you again."
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and the faint uneasiness in his heart was mostly dissipated by her rare attention to her anger. He pinched her face and said, "I will definitely come."
"Um."
The situation was urgent, so he had to rush over immediately without delay.
Qing'an immediately went to pack two sets of clothes for Xie Xianyu.
"Sir, it's time to clean up."
Xie Xianyu then stood up and prepared to go out. Wanruo stood in the house, watching his back as he turned and left, and her heart suddenly felt a pang of sadness for no reason.
Now that he's gone, they might never see each other again in this life.
A sour feeling spread in her heart. She wanted him to leave, but suddenly she thought, how long would it be if she could see him again?
"Xie Xianyu!"
For the first time, she couldn't let her reason hold her back and blurted out his name.
He paused, looked up at her, and frowned slightly.
She walked forward slowly.
"You are getting bolder and bolder, calling me by my full name?" It was clearly a reprimand, but there was not a trace of blame in the tone.
He felt inexplicably happy.
At this moment, for the first time, he clearly saw the nostalgia and reluctance in her eyes.
She stared at him blankly, her eyes carefully tracing his eyebrows, as if she wanted to carve his face into her memory.
