The door was suddenly knocked again. "Can you come in?" It was Dongsheng's voice.
Xiaohua wiped her tears with her sleeve, walked over and opened the door, "Brother Dongsheng, the young lady is awake, come in."
Dongsheng came in and sat down at their table.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xiaohua knew they must have something to say. "Miss, I have nothing to do right now. I'll go to the clothing store and buy some clothes first, otherwise I won't have anything to wear tonight."
Chunxiao nodded and told her to be careful.
"Are you feeling better after a good sleep?"
"I'm fine. It's normal to feel a little upset after such a big thing happened. It's you who saved me this time." She looked at Dongsheng, "Why did you appear in the inn in the middle of the night?" She never expected that she could be saved in that situation.
"The day after you left, I ran into someone from the horse business. I knew you were in Lan County, and since there wasn't a branch here, I thought I'd come over to see you. I arrived yesterday afternoon, but I ran into someone I knew and got delayed, so I didn't come to see you."
"Then how do you know where we live? Why are you at the inn in the middle of the night?"
"Yesterday afternoon I saw you guys buying things and heading over there. There's only one inn over there. I was going to meet up with you, but I ran into the yamen's chief clerk and was dragged away by him." He lowered his head in self-blame. "I should have met you earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have let you go through this."
Chun Xiao felt relieved. "Fortunately you're not here, otherwise how would we save ourselves? Then why did you appear outside the inn in the middle of the night?"
Mentioning this, Dongsheng hesitated, "I just couldn't sleep, so I walked around." He didn't say that he had actually been squatting opposite for a long time. He had already noticed the bandits when they went in. He was really nervous at the time. He wanted to go find them but was afraid of wasting time. Finally, he climbed over the backyard wall and followed the sound. Finally, he caught up with them. If he had been late, the consequences would have been disastrous.
"Dongsheng, thank you so much for saving us."
Dongsheng's face suddenly turned red when he thought of the scene of their meeting yesterday. Then he involuntarily clenched the cup on the table and put it down. "Chunxiao, don't worry about what happened yesterday. I will take responsibility for it." He took great courage to say this.
Chun Xiao was stunned, not understanding what he meant. "Responsible, what responsibility?"
"Anyway, don't worry, I'll ask my father to propose marriage when I get back."
Chunxiao looked at his panicked expression and her face turned red like a shrimp. Thinking about what she just mentioned, she remembered that her clothes were torn off when they met yesterday. She was afraid that Dongsheng saw her wearing small clothes when he saw her. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She calmed herself down and smiled calmly, "What happened yesterday was an accident. If it is really like you said, I have to take responsibility after seeing it, then wouldn't I have to marry a bandit? If we go back, you and I won't tell anyone about this, and Xiaohua won't tell anyone either. No one will know. Don't be silly and take everything on yourself. I'm not the kind of person who repays kindness with enmity." Although she said so, it was really embarrassing to think about it now, and she wanted to end the topic as soon as possible.
Dongsheng clenched his fists and said, "You, you don't want to marry me!" Yes, there is such a big gap between his conditions and hers now, it is just wishful thinking.
Chunxiao felt that people who were too picky were really hard to deal with. In fact, apart from being frightened, everything else was not a big deal to her. She was wearing undershirts, not naked, so she could just look at it. "This is not a question of marriage or not. There is absolutely no need for that. How can you marry me for such a thing? Who am I? Who are you? How can we get married?" She wanted to say that she was a divorced woman, and marrying him would only make him a laughing stock.
Dongsheng sat there with his head down, his expression unrecognizable.
Chunxiao didn't know why, but the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. She smiled and said, "Speaking of marriage, I mentioned you to my eldest sister-in-law not long ago. What do you think of Xiaoxue from the Huaitian family? You're such a good person. We've always wanted to bring you in as a relative. You're not young anymore. If you think it's a good match, our two families can really arrange a marriage."
Unexpectedly, Dongsheng stood up as soon as she finished speaking and said, "Don't bother you to worry about this matter. If you don't want to involve others, why bother? You should rest today. I'm leaving first." After saying that, he really left without looking back.
It was the first time Chunxiao had seen Dongsheng give her a cold look. Was it wrong to bring up the matter in front of him? She stood at the doorway, hesitant, and heard the door slam shut nearby. He was indeed angry. It seemed that she could not bring up the matter again.
When Xiaohua came back, she saw her sitting in the room in a daze.
"Have you bought all the clothes?"
"Now that we have everything, what should we do with the previous ones?"
"Throw it away."
"Miss, what happened yesterday has spread all over the place. People are discussing it everywhere."
"What did they say?"
"They said a lot of people died, and then said it was a good killing. Some people also wanted to know who did it and said they wanted to ask me to go home and help with the security."
She was already very grateful that there was no spread of the woman being humiliated. It seemed that the government should have instructed the people who stayed at the inn yesterday not to go out and spread nonsense.
"Miss, what should we do now? Should we stay here?" This trip was to find Xu Dongsheng. Now that everyone was gathered together, Xiaohua didn't know their next plan, so she always had to ask clearly. Lao Wei also asked her today.
She had originally planned to spend another day shopping for jewelry before returning to Huiquan. Now that Dongsheng was here, she naturally wanted to ask him about his plans first. She hadn't even asked about her shop yet, but she had somehow irritated him today. What should she do? She looked at Xiaohua and said, "Let's go downstairs for dinner later. Go call Dongsheng and Master Wei downstairs. I'll ask them and then make a decision."
