It goes without saying who is stopping them.
Li Sisi was startled and waved her hands quickly: "No, this is not good."
After all, she is Xiao Yunchen's biological mother. There is no need to have a conflict with his biological mother because of her.
"I'd rather not go to your house and live with Nian Nian."
When Xiao Yunchen heard her say "your family", a trace of bitterness and helplessness flashed through his heart.
I think the lady really hates the Xiao family and dislikes his mother so much that she doesn't even want to see her.
He sat down at the table, casually pouring tea, his tone lonely and helpless: "Since sister is determined not to go back with me, I won't force you."
He poured himself a cup of tea and said indifferently, "Then I'll stay and wait for my sister-in-law with you, so that no one else can cause trouble along the way."
Li Sisi took a seat next to him, poured herself some tea, and asked, "Will this delay your time? You've finally come back, aren't you going to send Zheng Hongye to the Dali Temple right away?"
"There's no need to rush." Xiao Yunchen said, and suddenly called out, "Ruliu!"
"What instructions does the young master have?" Ru Liu replied from outside the house.
"Go get some food." Xiao Yunchen said, and added, "Pick something that Sisi and I both like. Don't pick anything boring."
"Yes!" Ru Liu responded.
When I was leaving, I happened to meet a man in a black robe and a golden mask who was hurried over. The jewel-inlaid sword in his hand was shining in the sun.
——————
In the spring, the berry garden is full of green grass dotted with countless bright reds.
This patch of strawberries was planted by the Fourth Prince, and she and the princess were the first people to enjoy them.
Li Nian, carrying two bamboo baskets, left the berry garden and said happily, "Tongtong, it's really thanks to you that I was able to pick such fresh strawberries today!"
The princess also held a basket of large, red strawberries in her hands. She glanced at her with a smile on her face. "That's nothing. My fourth brother has always loved tending to these things, but he never uses them after growing them. If you like them, I'll have the servants in the mansion send some more tomorrow."
Li Nian asked curiously, "Is the Fourth Prince the only one who grows strawberries in the capital? Isn't there anyone else growing strawberries?"
The princess replied, "No, strawberry seeds are rare, not to mention that they require extremely professional gardeners to successfully cultivate. Besides my fourth brother, who has the money and time to do this, who else in the ordinary family has the time and energy to do it?"
Li Nian nodded: "So that's how it is!"
The two of them had already walked out of the strawberry garden while talking.
After saying goodbye to the princess, Li Nian thought that Li Sisi was still in the Qingzhu Garden in the manor, so he walked over there with two baskets of strawberries.
She picked two baskets of strawberries, one of which was picked for Li Sisi.
After all, this world is not like the modern world. Some rare fruits may not be available for you to eat even if you pay for them.
Just after passing through the central courtyard, you will walk on a path lined with green bamboos.
The wind blows the bamboo leaves, making a "woooo~~rustling" sound as they sway gently.
The sunlight shone through the lush bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows. Li Nian was very happy thinking that he could finally see Sisi.
The fingertips of both hands were slightly red from being scratched by the bamboo strips, but he didn't feel the weight of the bamboo basket in his hands at all.
When turning a small corner, I ran into a man in a black robe.
The man was wearing a golden mask and holding a long sword inlaid with gems, which looked very beautiful.
Isn’t this the man who danced with swords in the central courtyard earlier?
Li Nian was a little surprised why he appeared here?
However, they did not know each other and were only curious for a moment before turning on their toes to make way.
The masked man stopped in front of her and asked, "Are you here to look for Miss Li Sisi?"
His voice was as gentle as the spring water in a mountain stream in spring, without any aggression.
Very popular.
This was Li Nian’s first impression of the man’s voice.
I was surprised again. This person actually knew Sisi?
"Yes." Li Nian replied truthfully.
The masked man spoke calmly and without haste, "Miss Li Sisi has already returned to the mansion with Master Xiao. He specifically asked me to tell you that you can go back on your own."
Li Nian was surprised. She didn't expect that Sisi would follow Xiao Yunchen back to the Xiao Mansion?
They had clearly agreed to go back together after she finished picking strawberries.
Li Nian pressed on, "Did they have any urgent business? Did they leave any other messages?"
The masked man pondered for a moment and replied, "It must be due to official business."
Li Nian said "Oh" in disappointment and bowed slightly: "Thank you for telling me, sir."
Thinking of what Li Sisi had told her about Zheng Hongye, Li Nian guessed that Li Sisi must be thinking of sending Zheng Hongye back to Dali Temple before coming to find her.
She returned home disappointed, carrying two baskets of strawberries.
Take a carriage back to Yunjingting.
Li Nian wrote a note and put it in the bamboo basket, then asked Yun Jingting's servant to deliver the strawberries to the Xiao Mansion.
I also thought of Yun Er Niang, whom I met at Zhuangzi today. From what those girls said, I knew that Yun Er Niang must have been having a hard time since she faked her death and left the capital.
She went to the room on the second floor and randomly picked out a set of jade headpieces with a warm color from a row of jewelry cabinets.
He also thought about how the original owner, when he was in the Yun Mansion, really wanted a glass mirror to carry with him, but his mother was of low status, so that was just a delusion, and the two of them never had one.
She opened the bottom drawer of the jewelry cabinet and took out a silver-wrapped makeup mirror decorated with colorful stones.
This set of makeup mirrors also comes with a small purse embroidered with colorful threads, which is specifically used to hold the mirror. Li Nian also took it.
He went downstairs and asked Yun Jingting's servant to send the fresh strawberries he had just picked to the Yun Mansion.
