Shen Weiwan nodded and followed him into the mansion. Chuntao followed behind with a food box in her hand, secretly making a face at Liu, making Liu tremble with anger.
The sun was setting, its golden afterglow casting a golden glow over the bluestone pavement of the General's Mansion. As the Seventh Prince prepared to leave, Shen Weiwan escorted him to the door and watched him mount his horse. His tall figure was gilded in the setting sun. She suddenly spoke, her voice soft but clear: "Your Highness."
Xiao Yu reined in his horse and looked back at her, his eyes filled with inquiry: "Hmm?"
"Today's answer," Shen Weiwan met his gaze, a firm light flashing in her eyes, "I like it very much."
A brilliant smile appeared on Xiao Yu's lips, like sunshine breaking through the clouds. "I'm glad you like it. Tomorrow, I'll bring you some rose pastries from the time-honored South City shop."
"Okay." Shen Weiwan nodded vigorously, watching his carriage disappear at the entrance of the alley before turning back to the house.
Chun Tao looked at the uncontrollable smile on her young lady's face and said, "Young lady, His Highness is so kind to you. I am so envious."
Chen Weiwan touched the remaining crumbs of osmanthus cake in her hand, remembering the Seventh Prince's gentle eyes and the words "I want you to eat osmanthus cake every day", and her heart warmed. Yes, he was so good to her. In her previous life, she never thought there would be such a person who was willing to shield her from all the storms and treat her well in such a clumsy yet sincere way.
The puzzle in front of the general's mansion was still hanging there, and the golden light of the setting sun shone on it, as if it had cast a layer of warm light on this ancient puzzle. Shen Weiwan knew that the seventh prince's answer might not be the most consistent with the sage book, but it was the one that moved her the most.
Liu, Chen Ruorou, your calculations and schemes are nothing but the tricks of a clown in the face of sincerity. But she, protected by the Seventh Prince, possesses her own wisdom and memories of her past life. In this life, she will not only make those who have hurt her pay, but also firmly grasp the happiness that belongs to her.
She looked up at the gorgeous sunset glow in the sky, a resolute and happy smile on her lips. "Seventh Prince, thank you for appearing in my life. In this life, I will never let you down again, nor will I let anyone hurt me again."
The distant sound of the night watchman's clappers echoed through the dusk. Shen Weiwan took a deep breath, turned, and walked into the gradually brightening lights of the general's mansion. Her happy life had just begun. And in her heart, the chicken-and-egg puzzle that had troubled so many already had the warmest, sweetest answer.
