In the afternoon of that day, when Xu Qingmo returned to the house, a maid came to announce that the Crown Princess had sent someone to deliver a message, saying that she would come to the house for a walk on the fifth day of the first lunar month. She also specifically told Xu Qingmo not to go out, saying Come and see her!
Xu Qingmo paused, and then responded lightly: "Okay, I understand!"
Xu Qingmo knew that Yan Junuo was desperate and she couldn't wait any longer. She was not surprised by this. You know, even she was almost tricked by Zhu Han. With Yan Junuo's methods, she was not surprised. In front of Zhu Han, there is simply not enough to see.
"Girl, do you want to get involved in Yan Junuo's matter?" After returning to the yard, Hua Ying couldn't help but ask softly.
Xu Qingmo looked up at Huaying: "What do you think?"
"Zhu Han's methods were vicious, but they only caught him by surprise. Now that she has shown up, we are on guard, so it will not be so easy for us to succeed. Yan Junuo wants to find a girl, mostly to deal with Zhu Han, but the girl, this Do we need to wade through the muddy water?" Hua Ying frowned slightly.
Xu Qingmo understood what Hua Ying meant. The matter between Yan Junuo and Zhu Han was an internal fight in the prince's back house and had nothing to do with her. There was no need for him to get involved: "You must have forgotten that she has been there from beginning to end. She doesn’t take Yan Junuo seriously, what she wants is my life!”
Hua Ying suddenly understood, then looked at Xu Qingmo for a long time, and then said: "What is that girl going to do? Are you going to be with..."
Hua Ying's words stopped abruptly. Xu Qingmo knew that she was talking about Xu Qingling. The death of Xu Qingling and Mrs. Wen was enough to shock Hua Ying, who had never seen killing before!
Xu Qingmo poured himself a cup of tea and when he put it to his mouth, he realized that the tea was cold. Fortunately, Qu Lian had quick eyes and quick hands and immediately made another pot of hot tea.
Xu Qingmo took a sip of hot tea, then looked at Hua Ying and Qu Lian standing in front of him, and said softly: "If you cut the weeds without removing the roots, the spring breeze will blow and grow again!"
Hua Ying lowered her eyes slightly and said nothing.
Xu Qingmo looked at the cup in his hand, and then said: "When someone wants to kill you, there are all kinds of reasons, but when you want to stop someone from killing you, you need countless reasons to persuade. I am not a saint. You can’t convince others with virtue!”
"I'm just worried..." Hua Ying lowered her head slightly.
"I'm sensible!" Xu Qingmo glanced at Huaying, then turned his gaze to Qu Lian, "I'm a little hungry, is there anything to eat?"
"The pastries were prepared in the small kitchen earlier. I'm going to get them right now!" Qu Lian's eyes lit up, and then she pulled Huaying out and said, "Sister Huaying, come with me!"
Hua Ying followed the steps given by Qu Lian and walked down.
Xu Qingmo knew very well that although Hua Ying was much smarter than Qu Lian, in many cases, she would inevitably have the soft-heartedness of her daughter's family. The kindness of her daughter's family was very important, but in the capital, this kind of kindness would often be required. took his own life.
Qu Lian pulled Hua Ying out and finally left the house, then said to Hua Ying: "Why did you say that to the girl? Are you not accusing the girl of not treating the second girl like that? How sad is our girl?" ah?"
"That's not what I meant!" Hua Ying reacted immediately, "I, I just think that the girl can obviously hide in the back house, why do she have to come out and fight with those people!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Qu Lian couldn't help but frown, "Forget about the other side, this Zhu Han, when did the girl provoke her? It was just because of the prince's favor that she refused to let the girl go. , if according to what you said, should the girl hide, not go anywhere, just hide in the back house?"
Hua Ying frowned: "Of course that's not the case. I just think we have to be more cautious in everything. The girl was kidnapped earlier and narrowly escaped death. We were frightened for many days. I don't want to experience such days again!"
"So, just like what the girl said, if you cut the grass without eradicating the roots, the spring breeze will sprout again. If you don't stop those people who want to hurt the girl, these things will continue to happen!" Qu Lian looked at the flowers. Ying, said softly, "Sister Huaying, you are so kind to a woman!"
Hua Ying's heart skipped a beat. Xu Qingmo was afraid of hurting her, so he was careful not to say it so bluntly. Qu Lian didn't have to think too much and said it directly, but it hit Hua Ying's heart directly.
Hua Ying suddenly realized: "You are right, I am confused. I only think that one thing is worse than one thing less, but I have forgotten that we girls never cause trouble, but there is always something coming to our door!"
Qu Lian understood that Hua Ying had figured it out, so she held Hua Ying's hand and said, "Sister Hua Ying has always been smart, but just worrying will make you confused! Sister Hua Ying also hopes that our girl can be well, and the girl must be the same." understandable!"
"Of course the girl understands!" Hua Ying couldn't help laughing, "Otherwise, she wouldn't have hit me!"
Qu Lian pulled Hua Ying toward the kitchen: "Then I'll help you say good things. Sister Hua Ying doesn't care about me?"
"Of course I'm concerned about it. What do you want?" Hua Ying saw Qu Lian's expression and knew that this little girl had something on her mind, so she couldn't help but laugh.
"Didn't we pick a lot of winter dates? I want to eat jujube mud cake!" Qu Lian hugged Hua Ying's arm and looked at Hua Ying, her eyes shining brightly.
"Zao mud pulled cake? That uses red dates, not winter dates!" Hua Ying flicked Qu Lian's forehead, "But if you want to eat it, I will make it for you, but you have to grind this glutinous rice flour yourself!"
Naturally, Qu Lian said yes and hurriedly gave Xu Qingmo pastries. She hurried back to the small kitchen and squatted in the corner to grind glutinous rice flour with a small millstone.
Seeing Qu Lian's panic, Xu Qingmo felt a little strange. He pinched a piece of pastry and walked to the small kitchen. Then he saw two girls, one grinding flour and the other scraping jujube paste. The other was so busy that she had no time at all. Talk to her.
Then Xu Qingmo walked inside and walked quietly to Hua Ying: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Huaying was busy scraping the jujube paste and didn't look back at all. She thought it was Qu Lian who had ground the jujube powder, so she said casually: "If you feel better, go and light the fire!"
Xu Qingmo didn't say anything and silently went to add firewood to the fire.
Hua Ying and Qu Lian didn't realize until Xu Qingmo lit up the fire and went to scoop up water but couldn't find the ladle that they actually ordered their girls to boil water!
"Girl, when did you know how to make a fire?" Qu Lian was not afraid of Xu Qingmo scolding him, but she was surprised when did she learn to make a fire.
