The night wind in late autumn feels particularly cold when it blows on people.
Li Sisi felt a little depressed after returning to Jinxiu Residence.
Xiao Yunchen gently hugged her from behind, slightly bent over, and rested his chin on the top of her head, whispering, "Are you blaming me in your heart, my lady?"
Li Sisi didn't say anything.
She didn't know how to answer this question.
From some perspectives, Xiao Yunchen's approach was not wrong.
She just felt a little unhappy because her position in Xiao Yunchen's heart was so low that she was put behind again and again.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xiao Yunchen's voice became a little lonely, and he said softly: "My wife, I'm sorry."
"I respect your choice." Li Sisi said in a muffled voice.
Everyone has the opportunity to choose their own life. She has no right to force him to follow her path just because she is his wife.
Just a man.
Li Sisi took a deep breath and felt relieved.
The night gradually faded away and the dawn began to brighten.
The capital city was still shrouded in hazy morning mist.
Li Sisi rode a horse and followed the carriage where Li Nian was sitting.
Turning her head to look at the capital city which was gradually moving away, Li Sisi felt as if something was blocking her chest, making her feel suffocated.
Xiao Yunchen, you must be fine.
The village where Xiao Houfu took refuge was in a small town in the southwest, which was located in a continuous mountain range.
The autumn scenery along the way was bleak, with withered yellow fallen leaves covering the mountain roads. After the wheels of the carriages and the hooves of the horses had passed by, not even a trace was left.
Along the way, there were the sounds of birds singing and the crisp sound of leaves being trampled.
Before night fell completely, they finally arrived at Yuexi City.
The villa is built on the mountain, and the carriage can only reach the foot of the mountain. The rest of the way can only be reached by horseback.
In deep mountainous areas like this, the temperature is colder than in the capital.
For convenience, Li Sisi and Li Nian chose to live in the same yard.
Old Madam Xiao was very unhappy all the way. Her daughter was still in the war-torn northwest and she had not brought her back to her. Now her son was left in a dangerous place like the capital, where he could lose his life at any time.
Look at Xiao Yunyu, that uneducated guy, his wife and children are by his side.
It is true that fools have good fortune!
"Okay, don't worry. You have to believe in Chen'er's ability." Marquis Xiao gently hugged Old Madam Xiao to comfort her.
Madam Xiao's eyes were red and tearful: "How can I feel at ease with you? The capital is in such a mess, and we left Chen'er there all alone. He is only 20 years old!"
"It'll be fine. Aren't the Xiao clan elders staying in the capital? They will do their best to protect Chen'er. And Chen'er's mentor is also a shrewd and calculating person. They won't take risks easily if they are not sure of anything."
Here, Lord Xiao gently comforted Old Madam Xiao.
On the other side, Li Nian was also comforting Li Sisi.
"Since Xiao Yunchen did that, he must be sure of it. Don't worry."
Li Sisi forced a smile that was uglier than crying: "It's okay, he chose the path himself, he's responsible for the consequences."
She said this, but her eyes became redder and redder.
Li Nian sighed.
"Niannian, the water is ready, go take a shower, it's time to go to bed." Xiao Yunyu strode over and interrupted the hesitant atmosphere between the two.
Li Sisi said, "Go take a shower quickly. You still have to take Jinhe to bed tonight! I should go back to the room too."
Li Nian stood up, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll have Xiaolu go to the capital hall tomorrow to check on the situation. Don't worry too much."
After tossing and turning all night and falling asleep at dawn, Li Sisi was woken up early in the morning.
"Get up quickly, I'll take you to eat the special food of Yuexi City." Xiao Yunyu said in a cheerful tone, without any worry in his eyes.
When Mrs. Xiao saw his attitude, her resentment grew even stronger.
Lord Xiao was also a little unhappy, but he still tried to persuade Old Madam Xiao.
Xiao Yunyu held Jinhe in one hand and the reins in the other, riding his horse all the way to the foot of the mountain.
The little girl didn't understand anything and just opened her arms and shouted happily.
Li Nian was so frightened that he galloped all the way after her, shouting at the top of his voice: "Be careful—be careful—"
However, her voice was lost in the wind, and all that was left along the way was the sound of horse hooves and Jinhe's happy shouts.
Finally, Xiao Yunyu stopped at the foot of the mountain and changed to a carriage.
Li Nian jumped off the horse and kicked him: "Are you sick? Don't you know that this is very dangerous?"
"It's okay. How can you be our Jinhe's father if you don't have this little ability?" He smiled impudently and winked at Jinhe proudly: "Girl, right?"
Jinhe laughed "Hahaha" and agreed: "Yes, Daddy is riding a horse and flying, and he still wants to play!"
Xiao Yunyu decided to quit while he was ahead: "No, today's game is over."
"Play tomorrow?" Jinhe tilted her head, and looked at Xiao Yunyu with her big black eyes full of anticipation.
Xiao Yunyu glanced at Li Nian and saw that she looked unhappy, so he quickly said, "We won't play tomorrow, and we won't play in the future."
When the little girl heard this, she immediately burst into tears.
Xiao Yunyu said weakly, "Niannian, I'm a very good horseman. I won't let Jinhe fall..."
Li Nian said with a stern face: "No!"
They were on a mountain road just now, and the hand that Xiao Yunyu was holding Jinhe was pointing towards the cliff outside the mountain. When Li Nian thought about it now, he felt his heart still pounding.
Hearing Li Nian's words, the little girl cried even louder.
Li Nian glared at the culprit angrily.
If he hadn't done that just now, how could this have happened?
Xiao Yunyu lowered his eyes and acted obediently, as if he knew he was wrong.
