In the capital city, countless pink and white lotus flowers have bloomed in the lotus pond of Shuixieju, and some have even begun to produce lotus pods.
When the breeze blows, the fragrance of lotus flowers fills the entire study.
This is the first time she has come back since she left Marquis Xiao's Mansion last time.
Unexpectedly, not long after she left, the lotus pond had completely changed its appearance. The scenery was so beautiful that she was reluctant to leave.
But she came back today to pack up and prepare to leave the capital.
Xiao Yunya was sitting next to her at this moment, and asked with a look of nervous anticipation, "Sister-in-law, I heard that there's no rice to eat in the northwest. Is that true?"
"It's not that there is no rice, it's just that rice is much more expensive than noodles because rice is not produced there," Li Nian replied.
She actually didn't have much to pack, just some things the little girl would need on the road, and... some more gold, silver and jewelry.
At this time, Yu Niang and Xiao Ying were packing up.
"It's very cold in the northwest, isn't it? When winter comes, everything is covered in white, and there's no vegetables to eat. And the wind there is like a knife on your face, making your skin very rough..."
Li Nian had no choice but to interrupt her: "Don't just listen to hearsay. You'll know what it's like when you go there. As long as you have money, you can buy anything."
"That's good. I'm afraid I won't be used to it after I go there."
Looking at Xiao Yunya's fair and tender face, Li Nian kindly reminded her, "Just bring more agar for skin care, the weather there is quite dry."
Xiao Yunya nodded seriously: "Okay."
Jin He, who was sitting on the wooden couch, looked left and right with her big, dark eyes, and suddenly said, "Auntie, she hasn't come yet."
When Li Nianjing was reminded of this, he remembered that Li Sisi said she would go back and say hello to Xiao Yunchen and then come over.
It's almost afternoon, and no one has come back yet.
Xiao Yunya stood up and said, "I'll go and urge my second sister-in-law."
"That's fine. If it's not convenient for her, it's not too late for us to set off tomorrow." Li Nian reminded.
At this time, Jinxiu Residence.
Li Sisi put her hands on her hips and glared at the man blocking the door: "Xiao Yunchen, what do you mean? Don't you believe me?"
Xiao Yunchen's expression was firm: "It's not that I don't believe you, but Yun Ya's affairs have nothing to do with my wife, so why should my wife go with him?"
He had sent people to the northwest to inquire early on. Pei Yanli moved his family to Xidi City where his eldest brother was, and he still has not married.
"Why can't I go? Nian Nian has been with me in the capital for so long, now it's my turn to accompany Nian Nian to the northwest. Besides, it's not like I won't come back. If you don't let me go, doesn't it mean you suspect that I will rekindle my relationship with Pei Yanli? In the final analysis, you just don't trust me!"
When Xiao Yunchen heard her words, his heart sank and he muttered softly, "What kind of predestined relationship do you have with him? It's just a bad fate at best!"
"Okay, whatever fate you say is fine, but I must go with Nian Nian. Get out of the way!" Li Sisi took a few steps forward and pushed him.
But he hugged her waist instead, resting his chin lightly on her head, and said softly, "Can you not go to the northwest? I don't want to be separated from my wife."
"Then why didn't you tell me before? You had to wait until we had discussed it, and now you don't let me go." Li Sisi glared at him angrily, "Can't we have a little more trust between husband and wife? This trip to the northwest is different from last time. Last time I planned to never come back, but this time I'm going with your sister!"
Suddenly, Li Sisi's eyes turned and she said, "How about you let Xiao Yunya watch me? That would be okay, right?"
Xiao Yunchen looked at her without saying a word.
Seeing that he still refused to give in, Li Sisi said fiercely, "Xiao Yunchen, don't push your luck! I'm not your property. If you won't even give me this little freedom, then we... um~"
Here comes this trick again! If you can’t argue, just kiss. I don’t know who learned this from!
Li Sisi held his head with both hands and stepped back: "This trick is useless! The three of us agreed to go to the northwest together. They are still waiting for me at Shuixieju..."
"Second sister-in-law!"
Before Li Sisi could finish her words, she heard Xiao Yunya calling from outside.
She quickly let go of Xiao Yunchen, wiped her lips, and responded, "Coming, right away!"
She glared at the culprit beside her, picked up her bag and was about to leave, but she caught a glimpse of the man looking at her eagerly out of the corner of her eye.
He walked over and gave her a kiss, his voice softening as he coaxed her, "Alright, Chenchen is the one I love the most. I won't like anyone else. When the time comes, I'll come back to find you."
"Let's go." After saying that, she pushed the door and left.
Xiao Yunchen called out only after Li Sisi's figure disappeared around the corner of the courtyard gate.
"Qingyan, Qingxuan."
Two figures walked out from the darkness of the courtyard and said respectfully, "Young Master!"
"Follow Madam, and make sure she's safe. Also..." Xiao Yunchen paused, lowering his voice, "If you discover Madam interacting with other men, inform me immediately."
"Yes!" the two responded respectfully.
After giving the order, Xiao Yunchen walked towards the water pavilion.
At this time, the three of them had already packed up.
When Xiao Yunya saw Xiao Yunchen coming, she happily shouted, "Second brother, are you here to see me off?"
"Um."
Xiao Yunchen responded indifferently, but his eyes were looking at Li Sisi.
The three of them boarded the carriage. Li Sisi saw Qingyan and Qingxuan following on horseback, each riding a horse. She asked in surprise, "Are you going too?"
Qingyan replied, "The young master was worried about your wife's safety, so he asked Qingxuan and I to follow you and keep you safe."
"Oh, okay." Li Sisi didn't ask any more questions, lowered the car curtain and set off with peace of mind.
Xiao Yunya said with envy: "My second brother is so good to you."
