Su Xiaoxiao gathered her energy, shouted loudly, and struck the window frame with one palm.

There seemed to be a huge internal force in her palm wind, and the window frame fluttered open.

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "If you think you can kill, just try."

A quarter of an hour later, the door to the west courtyard creaked open.

Ping'er held up an oil-paper umbrella and gave Wei Ting the flowers that Mrs. Wei had personally arranged.

…

Left the Wei family.

Su Xiaoxiao sat under a big tree and counted peaches: "My dad's, Ergou's, Dahu's, Erhu's..."

Yuchi Xiu resigned himself to holding an umbrella for her and asked speechlessly, "You are so brave that you even dare to threaten your future mother-in-law. If the adults knew about this..."

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Then you are an accomplice!"

Yuchi Xiu was confused: "How did I become an accomplice?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "The palm that shocked her just now was given by you!"

"You asked me to help you pretend to have inner strength..."

Yuchi Xiu was halfway through his words when he realized he had been tricked.

This girl was clearly trying to drag him into this on purpose!

"mean!"

"Thank you."

Yuchi Xiu was so angry that his teeth itched: "But, you just told Madam Wei about the traitor, is it really okay?"

He thought that she suddenly asked him to take her to the Wei family in order to persuade Wei Ting to come back, but he never expected that she overturned Mrs. Wei's orchard without saying a word.

How could this girl's behavior be so bold and daring? And it was completely unpredictable.

Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Do you think she really doesn't know that there is a traitor in the Wei family?"

"Ah?" Yuchi Xiu was completely confused.

Su Xiaoxiao recalled the brief confrontation with Madam Wei in the room: "She is not a simple woman. She discovered me a long time ago, earlier than I thought... Maybe when I went to check her pulse in the afternoon, she had already recognized me as the person hiding behind the curtain last night."

Yuchi Xiu shook his head: "How could she recognize you? You were pulling the curtain at the time, and she didn't see your face!"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "The smell."

"Smell... smell?" Yuchi Xiu didn't understand.

He still prefers chatting with Su Cheng. The little girl, like Wei Ting, always makes him feel that his brain is not enough.

Su Xiaoxiao said, "I just noticed that in addition to her hobby of flower arrangement, she also likes to dry the petals and make spices. There are more bottles and jars of spices in the house than the medicine jars in my house. A great perfumer is very sensitive to smells, and some can even recognize people by their scent."

Yuchi Xiu subconsciously smelled the scent on his body.

There is only the smell of sweat, so pungent...

He stuck out his tongue and retched.

About a century passed.

Yuchi Xiu finally digested a little bit of what was said: "Wait, according to what you said, she recognized you in the afternoon, but didn't expose you on the spot?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Her self-control is terrifying, isn't it? This is definitely not something that can be cultivated overnight. For a person like this, even if she likes something in her heart, she can pretend to hate it, right?"

Yuchi Xiu looked up to the sky, exhausted all his life's wisdom, and finally understood the essence of Su Xiaoxiao's words.

"Are you trying to say that...she actually cares about you, but is just pretending to be distant from you? Why is she doing this?"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the big red peach in her pocket and whispered, "Because they want to protect him, and also because they have been living under the surveillance of the inner ghost."

…

Yuchi Xiu hurriedly blocked it with an oil-paper umbrella.

After the carriage passed by, Yuchi Xiu grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Next time if you don't keep your eyes open, I will remove the wheels of your carriage!"

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and took a look: "Huh? It's the carriage going to the Wei family. Who is coming back so late?"

"Oh, that's not the Wei family's carriage, it's the Guo family's."

Yuchi Xiu recognized the coachman.

Su Xiaoxiao asked in confusion: "The Guo family? Why would the Guo family come to our house in the middle of the night?"

Could it be that because I beat Guo Lingxi, the Guo family came to ask for an explanation?

No, I haven't married yet. If I really want to seek justice, I have to go to the Qin family, or at worst the Su family.

"I'm here to see Madam Wei."

Seeing Su Xiaoxiao looking at him blankly, Yuchi Xiu's aura instantly rose a lot: "Don't you know? My Lord and Guo Lingxi are cousins, and Guo Lingxi's mother is Madam Wei's cousin!"

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized: "Oh, it's this cousin."

Yuchi Xiu said: "Two sisters came from Lingnan to marry in Beijing, one married into the Wei family, and the other married into the Guo family. They were once a legend in Beijing."

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Why is it a good story?"

Yuchi Xiu liked Su Xiaoxiao's inexperienced look! He hugged her and said with a sense of accomplishment, "Have you never heard of the Lingnan Twins? They were the top beauties in Lingnan when they were young!"

Su Xiaoxiao thought of Wei Ting's appearance and did not doubt Yuchi Xiu's words.

"Are the two sisters on good terms?" she asked.

Yuchi Xiu said, "Of course. Madam Guo comes to the Wei family every month to visit Madam Wei. In the first few years, she came by herself. Later, she was weak and often stayed at home to recuperate, so she asked the servants to come to visit Madam Wei. Madam Wei would visit her occasionally. In the past few years, after Madam Wei moved to the west courtyard, she rarely even went out of the courtyard. It was almost always the Guo family who came to visit her."

Su Xiaoxiao asked, "Is this why Madam Wei arranged the marriage between Wei Liulang and Guo Lingxi?"

Yuchi Xiu said: "Their marriage was not arranged by Madam Wei. In fact, Madam Wei was opposed to this marriage for a while." -The rain in the capital lasted for three days before it stopped.

That night, all the city gates were closed, but suddenly a carriage came rushing in from the west gate.

The carriage stopped at the city gate, and the driver looked up at the guards on the city wall and said, "Open the city gate!"

The guard ignored him.

The driver took out the token from his waist. Of course, the other party couldn't see it at this distance, but it did not prevent the driver from taking advantage of it.

"Here is the Prime Minister's token, open the city gate!"

Upon hearing that it was the prime minister's token, the guard was stunned for a moment, then hurried downstairs to confirm.

When the guards confirmed that the person sitting in the carriage was the son of the Prime Minister's family, they exclaimed that they were short-sighted and respectfully invited the man into the city.

The riding and archery test was originally scheduled to be held on the second day after the written test, but due to heavy rain, classes at the Gong School were suspended for three days, and Guo Lingxi was also idle at home for three days.

Just when she was about to get sick, the maid ran into the room excitedly: "Princess! The eldest master is back!"

Guo Lingxi's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Would Big Brother lie to you?"

Along with a hearty male voice, a tall and straight young man strode in.

He has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a handsome appearance. His eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Guo Lingxi, but he has a more cold and sharp heroic spirit than Guo Lingxi.

“Brother!”

Guo Lingxi threw herself into Guo Huan's arms like a lark.
