Paralyzing the enemy doesn't mean you have real feelings, at least not much right now.

Although Li Xiuzhu didn't mean it, Nalan Mingyue didn't know it.

The moment she saw the red hairpin in Li Xiuzhu's hand, she couldn't help but feel dazed.

When was the last time you received a gift?

It seemed like it was three years ago, and it was a small silver lock given to her by her mother.

"Apart from my parents, this is the first gift in my life."

This gift was not something he could refuse, so Nalan Mingyue took it and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Nalan Mingyue didn't mention giving Li Xiuzhu a gift.

It’s too late to prepare now, and all the things at home belong to Li Xiuzhu, so it’s impossible to have a gift for Li Xiuzhu.

Although she still had two small items on her body, they were close to her body and she didn't want to give them.

But what Nalan Mingyue didn't expect was that Li Xiuzhu actually extended his hand.

"Where's my present?"

“…”

"Is there nothing? Didn't you say we would get married in private? Why didn't you even prepare a gift for me?"

Looking at Li Xiuzhu's doubtful expression, Nalan Mingyue said, "I have something to say in my mind, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"This bastard is too much. I didn't ask him to send it..."

"Who cares about his gift? Now I have to give him a gift in return."

"What should I do? Can I only give him the two small items that are close to my body?"

“I don’t want to give this to you.”

"What do you mean by a man below me? I don't want to give it to you..."

However, even though she complained, she seemed to know that she had to give it, so she hesitantly took out a small silver lock from her bosom.

"This is a gift from my mother, so this bastard has to get it."

"No, if I kill him today, can't I get it back right away?"

"But now is not the best time to take action. He must still be on guard against me."

"Is that the only time I can take action? But he's so good at that. If I'm alone, I'm afraid I'll never be his opponent, right?"

"Forget it, let's try again. I've looked at a lot of pictures and exercised in the past two days. I'm sure I can beat him."

Li Xiuzhu was not at all surprised or uncomfortable when he heard this voice, because he already knew that this was an assassin.

He grabbed the silver lock in Nalan Mingyue's hand, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "This little lock looks pretty good. I'll give it to my son when I have one."

Upon hearing this, Nalan Mingyue's face turned red and she didn't dare to look at Li Xiuzhu.

That's what her mother had said when she gave it to her.

"I've given you my present too, let's go in."

"Um!"

One of them wanted to try out his new learning results, and the other wanted to verify the other's learning results. The two sides hit it off immediately.

At the same time, Fang Siming arrived at Li Xiuzhu's door.

"Who are you? No outsiders are allowed to enter the Duke's Mansion."

Fang Siming's face darkened when he heard this. What are these outsiders? Don't they even deserve a name? After all, Fang Siming is Li Xiuzhu's beloved relative.

"You are blind, I am Fang Siming, your best friend."

The guard who asked the question was stunned. He didn't expect that this young man had such an important background.

"I'm sorry, sir. It's my job. Please forgive me for my impoliteness."

Fang Siming waved his hand pretending to be magnanimous when he heard this.

"Forget it. I've been away for a long time and just returned to Beijing. It's normal that you don't know."

"Has your Lordship returned?"

At this time, it is time to come back to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the palace.

"Our county lord is out, does the young master have a visiting card? Do you need to pass it on?"

"Not here?" Fang Siming frowned but still said, "You can tell your Lady of the County that I, Fang Siming, am here."

"I think your brother and sister-in-law should know me."

The guard saw that although Fang Siming did not have a visiting card, he did not look nervous at all, so he nodded and prepared to go and inform him.

If they really are on good terms with County Public Transport, then I can't afford to offend them.

"Sir, please wait here. I will go in and report."

"Um!"

Fang Siming saw that the other party didn't recognize him and Li Xiuzhu was not there, so he naturally wouldn't force his way in.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The guard entered the yard and immediately walked to the small door and knocked.

After a few breaths, the door opened from the inside. Du Sanniang glanced at the guards, but she was not surprised. She asked, "What's wrong?"

Upon hearing this, the guard quickly explained, "Manager Du, there's a man called Fang Siming outside, who is said to be a close friend of the Duke of the County."

"I dare not neglect you, so I come to ask you."

Du Sanniang nodded.

"I'll go tell the Duke."

"Um, the Duke of the County went out earlier."

Du Sanniang frowned when she heard this.

"Gone? Didn't you tell him?"

"Well, the younger one did, but he said the lady should know him."

Du Sanniang nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll go ask the lady first."

"Also, please be safe and don't break the rules. No one except your family members can enter the yard at will, no matter who it is."

The guard immediately understood what was going on after hearing this, and nodded quickly, saying, "Yes, Chief Steward Du knows."

Du Sanniang nodded in response and walked out to the backyard.

Fu Yuehua was still a little dazed when Du Sanniang woke her up.

After listening to Du Sanniang's words, Fang Siming's name kept coming to my mind.

This, did my husband say that? But why can't I remember it at all? Is it because I haven't woken up yet and can't remember it? Fu Yuehua rubbed her temples to wake up her mind while thinking, but she couldn't remember the name Fang Siming no matter how hard she tried.

If that's the case, then there's an 80% chance that my husband didn't say it.

However, thinking that the other party claimed to be a close friend of her husband, Fu Yuehua could not neglect him.

"Come on, Sanniang, I'll go with you to take a look."

At the same time, Fang Siming, who had been waiting for a long time but saw no one coming out, became a little impatient.

Now is the first day of the new year. After noon when the sun is at its best, it is approaching the afternoon and the weather has turned cold again.

It would be fine if he could just stay like this for a few minutes, but as a playboy he really couldn't stand it for too long.

"Why hasn't anyone come out in such a long time?"

"Well, that's not something I can know. I have already reported it to Butler Du, and Butler Du did go inside to question the lady."

After a pause, the guard continued, "Sir, please wait a little longer. Maybe the Madam will come out soon."

Upon hearing this, Fang Siming frowned and walked inside.

But when the guards who were prepared saw Fang Siming rushing in, they immediately stopped him.

Fang Siming did not wait for the other party to speak, and said in a cold voice: "You want to stop me? You are so bold, do you know that I am friends with your master?"
