Chapter 323 Another Gift of Bamboo Flute

It took less than half an hour to get back to the temporary garden from the Baxiang Tower.

Si Linglong had resolved her worries so much that she even ignored the slight discomfort she felt on the first day of her period. She asked someone to set up the stove and prepare a roast chicken for Xue Sha.

This was her plan for today.

Xue Sha didn't give her any chance to escape.

They started roasting the chicken. Shuhong asked Qinglu to watch over them and went back to the house to get the rope that she had not finished tying a few days ago.

Hearing the noisy sounds coming from the other end of the courtyard, Shu Hong couldn't help but smile. In a trance, she recalled the scene when she was stopped by Lie Yi who suddenly appeared in Baxiang Tower.

After the emperor chased her out, Lie Yichao nodded coldly and was about to disappear again. Shu Hong didn't think much about it at the time and stopped him directly.

"Mr. Lie."

She walked out of the room, went to the side, looked at Lie Yi who came over with her, and started talking about what happened in the morning again.

"Master Su Zhilie was standing guard in the dark. I think it would be better to ask Master Su Zhilie about what the concubine heard at night."

Shu Hong paused at this point, her calm face seemed to have lost some of her emotions, and her voice was a little soft.

"But something unexpected happened during the trip, and I accidentally stepped on the bamboo flute that the adults gave me as a gift and broke it..."

Even though it was a gift given for the convenience of communication, Shu Hong thought it was a gift from the other party. After it was crushed like that, she still wanted to give the other party a proper apology.

However, before she could say sorry, Lie Yi interrupted her with a cold voice, "I know."

Shu Hong was stunned when she heard this. She didn't know for a moment whether he was talking about knowing what Guipin heard last night or about her breaking his flute.

Lie Yi didn't say it, but in fact, he had already heard her when she blew the first note of the flute, but the deputy commander had already appeared before him.

He heard their conversation and saw who stepped on the bamboo flute and broke it.

But I don't think she needs to apologize.

Lie Yi's face was still as cold and expressionless as it had been for thousands of years. He said, "I know why you want to see me. I didn't hear anything last night, but I will check this matter."

Having said that, without stopping, he turned around and hid himself again at the corner.

…

Shuhong recalled the other person's appearance at that time. Even though she always prided herself on being considerate, she couldn't tell whether the other person was happy or angry.

Perhaps, this is the ability of those who come from the Dark Guard Camp.

Shuhong didn't want to think too much, but deep down she felt sorry for the bamboo flute.

Walking to the window sill, Shuhong gathered her things and planned to take them out. While watching Guipin roast chicken, she finished tying the knot. However, just as she picked up the small basket in her hand, she unexpectedly caught a glimpse of emerald green from the corner of her eye.

But on the windowsill blocked by the small basket, there lay quietly a small bamboo flute, which was almost exactly the same size and style as the original one.

Shu Hong was stunned at first, but then she reacted and quickly took the bamboo flute in her hand. Feeling the flute still warm in her hand, she couldn't help looking outside.

But outside, everything was the same as before, with no sign of anyone.

Shu Hong didn't care. She held the small bamboo flute in her hand, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth unconsciously.

"Thank you, Mr. Lie." Shu Hong said in a low voice, not caring whether the other party could hear her or not.

Shu Hong carefully put the knuckle-sized bamboo flute into her purse, then picked up the basket again and walked out.

The quiet room seemed empty as usual.

Until a breeze outside the house seemed to blow the window sills, and a figure seemed to pass by the window covered with window paper, and then disappeared in a moment.

At the other end of the yard, Shuhong took her things and sat on a small stool nearby. Qinglu immediately stuffed a small soup pot into her arms and said with a smile, "We have them all, one for each of us."

Shuhong smiled and nodded, and held the soup pot in her arms. Qinglu seemed to see something strange, "Sister Shuhong went to get something, why do you feel better?"

Shu Hong glanced at her, "Hmm?"

Qinglu pointed at the smile on her lips, and said, "Sister usually keeps her lips pursed and doesn't say anything, but now you are smiling so gently. If you don't believe me, please take a look."

Si Linglong was brushing the sauce. Upon hearing this, she turned her head to look at Shu Hong. She happened to see Shu Hong's smile, which she hadn't yet put away. Her almond-shaped eyes suddenly curved, "Really."
