Seeing Shu Hua nod, she immediately ordered several maids and servants to help her load her things into the carriage.
But as she continued pretending, she suddenly realized she had forgotten something.
Xu Zi touched her face; she seemed to have something to ask her sister Zi Hui. What could it be?
...
...
Upon learning that Xu Zi was leaving today, Qin Xi woke up Lu Huai and went to the Shu residence with her.
Qin Xi sat in the carriage, not daring to move, for fear of waking the person who was lightly asleep on her shoulder.
"Why are you standing so stiffly?" Lu Huai suddenly raised his head, glanced at her, and asked with a puzzled expression.
Qin Qi thought he was asleep because he hadn't said a word, but his sudden opening of his mouth startled her.
"……nothing."
Lu Huai sat up straight and twisted his neck, which had been tilted to one side.
Actually, he didn't sleep well leaning against her. Qin Xi was a head shorter than him, so her shoulders weren't much higher either.
If he wanted to sleep next to her, he had to keep turning his head, which made his neck a little sore.
Qin Qi breathed a sigh of relief as her left shoulder suddenly felt lighter, but before she could say anything, her leg suddenly felt heavy.
Looking down, she saw that Lu Huai was lying on her lap again.
"..."
"..."
The two stared at each other, and Lu Huai looked at her innocently: "What's wrong?"
Let him lie down; that should make him more comfortable.
Thinking this, she said, "It's nothing."
"Then I have something to do." Lu Huai blinked, looking completely harmless.
Qin Qi frowned at him: "What do you want?"
After asking, she felt something was wrong. Given Lu Huai's character, it would be abnormal if nothing happened.
Sure enough, seeing that she had asked the question, he immediately said, "I want to hear you sing a song to lull me to sleep."
"..." Looking at his innocent expression, Qin Qi was a little annoyed: "...I don't know how."
Lu Huai, however, wouldn't let her off the hook, and casually said, "Sing whatever you can do; you can't be completely clueless."
Qin Xi: "..."
Ayu sat on the carriage shaft outside, and heard the voices of the two masters inside stop, but after a moment, a melodious song like that of a lyrebird came out, gentle and affectionate.
For a moment, I was stunned, and then I heard the bag next to me spit out a curse under my breath: "Pah! The young master is shameless. My young lady isn't a singer outside!"
Sensing the gaze beside him, Bao Bao turned around and slapped him rather roughly, making A Yu shudder.
"What are you looking at! You're just like your young master!"
"..." Ayu was even more confused. Was this really the young mistress's personal maid? How come she seemed to be worlds apart from the young mistress?
After saying that, Bao Bao angrily turned her head away and refused to look at him again.
Ayu pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he simply gave up.
It's not his fault; as the saying goes, a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea—how could he possibly be more unfathomable?
...
When they arrived, Lu Huai had already been asleep for quite some time. Surprisingly, he didn't even frown while sleeping this time.
Qin Xi gently nudged him: "Lu Huai, wake up."
He rubbed his temples, opened his eyes, and sat up: "Have we arrived?"
Nodding to him, Qin Qi said, "You can go down now."
Lu Huai, unsuspecting, stretched and got off the carriage first.
"Hiss..." Qin Xi sat in the carriage, rubbing her numb legs and gasping for breath. Once she felt better, she lifted the curtain to dismount.
Lu Huai reached out and pulled her down into his arms, which saved him a lot of trouble.
...
"Zihui, enjoy yourself." Qin Xi knew Shu Hua's courtyard very well and found it on her own without waiting for a servant to lead the way.
