Bai Han watched Bai Li get on the horse and thought about letting his sister go back with him. After all, they hadn't seen each other for nearly twenty years, and they didn't know when they would part again.
"Xiao Li, don't you want to go back with me to take a look?" Bai Han reined in his horse and suddenly turned back to ask Bai Li who had not gone far.
"I'm not going back. If the dead saint appears in Silver Moon City again, it will probably cause disaster for Ye Nan. Anyway, I'm still alive. When I find a place to hide away, you can come to see me if you want. Now, I'm temporarily living in Kyoto City." Bai Li immediately raised her hand to say goodbye to her old friend. She used the underworld etiquette of Dayin, which was considered a sideways farewell.
After saying that, Bai Li turned the horse around and whipped it. The horse ran forward in pain. Xiao Mu and Yan Guqi saluted Bai Han and left. Jingxin looked at Lan Yu following closely behind.
When Bai Li and the others returned to Kyoto, Pang Hu and Xiao Shu had just been married for a few days.
"Qiu'er, this is Xiao Hang's letter to his brother-in-law, and this is Lan Yu's letter to you. Oh, by the way, this is Lan Yu's senior sister. Let Ling Shu come and meet her." Bai Li handed both letters to Chen Qiu, and then introduced Jing Xin to Chen Qiu.
Chen Qiu noticed Jingxin as soon as she came in, "Okay, Jin'er, go call Lingshu over and tell her that her senior sister is here." Jin'er went out and Chen Qiu asked Jingxin to sit down. The two were of the same age and soon got to know each other.
Chen Qiu originally wanted to ask about Bai Li's situation, but it was difficult to ask with Jingxin around. "Senior Sister, Senior Sister?" Lingshu hadn't arrived yet, but the shouts and the sound of the bell on her body had already arrived. Jingxin's mouth curled up slightly, and then she stood up and went to the door to greet her.
"You are so grown up, yet you are still so unstable. You are shouting in someone else's house. It's not proper!" Jingxin pointed her index finger at Lingshu's forehead and jumped in front of her. She said some words of blame, but her eyes were full of doting.
"Oh, senior sister, don't worry. Sister Xiaoqiu and Duke Ye won't mind it. They are a good couple. And the old Duke and the old lady, they don't mind me." Lingshu pouted and acted coquettishly with Jingxin, then hugged one of Jingxin's arms and put her head on Jingxin's shoulder.
"Senior Sister, why are you here? Didn't you say you would always accompany Master?" Ling Shu pushed Jingxin to sit on the chair, and then she took the position below Jingxin.
When Jingxin heard Lingshu mention Yin Yunshu, she didn't know how to face Lingshu. This little junior sister was raised by the three of them, the master and apprentices, with love and care. She had never experienced death, and she was also her most beloved master. How could she accept this?
I have been thinking about this question quietly all the way, but I still haven't figured out how to tell Lingshu. Now that Lingshu asked, I have to say it, "Master, Master... passed away!" No matter how I organize my words, the final result is the same. It is better to be direct.
In such a situation, no matter how nice your words are, the pain of the person involved will not be reduced. Instead, your dishonesty will make her suffer more.
Ling Shu obviously didn't believe her ears. The smile on her face froze for a moment, then she said with a smile, "Impossible, Senior Sister, it's impossible. You and Second Senior Sister love to joke with me the most. How could Master... How could he have passed away? This is impossible!"
"Senior sister is just joking with you. Has your master ever joked with you?" Jingxin interrupted Lingshu's fantasy.
Chen Qiu glanced at Bai Li, who nodded slightly. Then Chen Qiu picked up the two letters, pulled Bai Li out, gave his room to the two sisters, and closed the door after he left.
Ling Shu was stunned. She knew that her senior sister never joked with her about the master. What she had just said was nothing but self-deception. She looked at the person sitting there with tears streaming down his face, and her heart ached.
"Cry, it's okay to cry. Master is watching us in heaven. After you finish crying, you will still be my quirky little junior sister. I don't want your smile to disappear, and Master doesn't want it either." Jingxin hugged her in her arms, talking to her comfortingly while stroking Lingshu's back to soothe her breath.
Ye Chen returned from the palace and arrived at Qiuchen Courtyard. He saw Chen Qiu and Bai Li standing outside without even a cloak on. He hurried over to Chen Qiu, took off his own cloak, and put it on her. "Why aren't you in the house? You don't even wear a cloak when you come out. It's freezing cold, what if you get sick?"
Chen Qiu put the cloak back on Ye Chen and said, "I just came out and was about to go to my grandparents' place with my master to see An An. It's okay for you to wear it."
"Jin'er, don't let anyone disturb Lingshu and her senior sister. Let them cry." Chen Qiu said with a sigh. Birth, old age, sickness and death are the most unavoidable things in this world.
"Master, when did you arrive?" Ye Chen pulled Chen Qiu into his cloak, and hugged Chen Qiu as they walked towards the courtyard where Madam Xiao and the old Duke lived. Bai Li followed them and shook unconsciously.
"We just came back a while ago. You guys walk slowly, I'll go over first." Bai Li walked to the next room as if escaping.
Chen Qiu and Ye Chen looked at each other, wondering what was wrong with Bai Li.
Xiao Mu and Yan Guqi came here directly after they came back. They were also juniors to the Old Duke and Madam Xiao. Xiao Mu was a good friend of Ye Chen's father, and was also an old acquaintance of the Old Duke. When in Ye Mansion, Xiao Mu spent most of his time playing chess and drinking tea with the Old Duke, and the two of them got to know each other better and better.
Mingyue also brought Tuantuan and Yuanyuan here to play with An'an. An'an is already eight months old. Now he sits more often and sometimes crawls. The three children were placed on the big couch specially prepared by Lady Xiao and they had a lot of fun playing.
"It's great, now this house feels like a home." Madam Xiao looked at the three children playing, making the adults beside them laugh from time to time, and felt emotional for a moment.
"Yes, ever since Xiaoqiu married into the Ye family, the Ye family has become more and more lively. Xiaoqiu is really the lucky star of the Ye family!" The old Duke never let Madam Xiao's words fall on the floor. Even during the six years when he was bedridden, as long as Madam Xiao was by his side, he would agree with her when no one responded to her words.
"Sister Bai Li, why did you come here alone?" Yan Guqi took his eyes off the chessboard between the old Duke and Xiao Mu, and greeted Bai Li who came in.
"I was dragged into this because of Ye Chen and Xiao Qiu's jealousy. Hey, Mingyue, have those two always been so jealous?" Bai Li said while shaking his body.
"That's right. On the second day after his wedding, my grandson changed the names of several courtyards in the mansion to include the word "Qiu". Almost all the courtyards in this mansion became "Qiu". Madam Xiao took over with a smile, and there was a burst of laughter in the room as soon as she finished speaking.
As soon as Ye Chen and Shen Qiu entered the room, they heard Xiao Taijun's voice teasing them. Before they even entered the screen, Shen Qiu's face was red as if she could pinch water out of it. The two came in from behind the screen. Everyone laughed when they saw them, "Speak of the devil, the devil is here, isn't he?"
