This is the last time, the last time I see him.
"I'll only be away for a few days and will be back soon. Why are you so clingy?" He ruffled her hair.
She lowered her eyes: "Who is clingy."
The corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Then who stopped me and stopped me?"
She was about to argue, but he suddenly grabbed the back of her head and kissed her lips.
Qingan Cuizhu, who was waiting nearby, was so frightened that she turned around immediately.
“Hmm…”
Before Wanruo could react and push him away, he had already let go of her hand, pulling away a finger's distance. He lowered his eyes and looked at her, a smile lingering in his dark eyes: "Wait for me to come back."
Wan Ruo's fingertips trembled slightly in her sleeves, and she pursed her lips and nodded: "Yeah."
He rubbed her hair with satisfaction, then finally turned and left.
Wanruo stood in the garden, watching his back as he walked away. The worry that had been hanging in the air for many days finally settled down.
But she won't wait for him to come back.
Qing'an realized belatedly that his master had passed away, and hurriedly trotted with his bag in his arms to catch up with Xie Xianyu.
Cuizhu came over, waved her hand in front of Wanruo's eyes, and said with a smile, "Why are you still looking when there's no shadow?"
Wanruo came back to her senses, her face flushed: "Who saw it?"
"Yes, yes, you didn't see it, Aunt Xu~" Cuizhu teased in a long tone.
The word "Auntie" instantly woke her up like a bucket of cold water.
Cuizhu was still talking to her happily, "Your yard has been cleaned up. It's closest to the master's bedroom. It used to be his study. The master specifically said that it would be left for you to live in. He should also buy some new things and give them to you as soon as possible."
"But time is tight, and I'm afraid I won't be able to buy everything right away. But I thought you could just live in the master's bedroom first. After all, the master hasn't married yet, so you'll be the mistress of Songhe Garden from now on."
Wanruo twitched the corners of her lips: "Yeah."
-
Xie Xianyu arrived at the gate of the mansion. The carriage was already prepared. Just as he was about to get in, he suddenly remembered something.
"Qing'an."
"Yes." Qing'an came over immediately.
"Please inform Ding Dong and ask her to take good care of the cousin. If anything happens, please send someone to write to me immediately."
Qing'an was stunned and thought to himself, Young Master is too concerned. Qizhou is not far away and we will be back in three days. Why should we be so cautious?
But he didn't dare to go against his master's wishes, so he immediately agreed: "Yes."
-
The next morning, Wanruo came to pay her respects to the eldest lady.
The eldest lady leaned back on the couch, resting her head with one hand and closing her eyes. When she heard her coming, she slowly opened her eyes: "Xian'er, are you sick?"
Wanruo nodded: "Yes."
The eldest lady let out a deep breath and waved to Zhuqing.
Zhu Qing took out a small box and handed it to Wan Ruo.
Wanruo was stunned: "This is..."
The eldest lady said solemnly, "This one thousand taels of silver is my gift to you as a dowry."
Wan Ruo quickly said, "Madam, there's no need to do this."
"Take it." The eldest lady looked at her, her eyes less red and more full of pity. "You have no parents, no one to take care of these things for you. But if a girl marries without a dowry, she will be looked down upon by her in-laws."
The eldest lady sighed and said, "You saved Xiuzhu's life and are her benefactor. I can't give you anything. Please accept this silver as a token of my gratitude."
Wanruo pursed her lips and accepted the box: "Thank you, Madam."
"Once everything is ready, I will arrange for you to leave the house tonight. After a day, Xu Wanruo will be dead, and there will be no such person in the world anymore. Take care of yourself on the road ahead."
