In the blink of an eye, Zhao Zi has been living in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion for more than a month. Since returning from shopping with Xia Jingyao last time, Zhao Zi has devoted himself wholeheartedly to helping everyone in the house solve their difficulties. Hard work paid off. After more than 20 days of hard work, Zhao Zi finally solved all the difficulties. Ever since Zhao Zi began to help solve problems, life in the Hou Mansion has become more and more comfortable. Everyone in the Hou Mansion who received Zhao Zi's help was very grateful to Zhao Zi and praised him very much. Zhao Zi was also in a good mood and finally found a sense of presence in the house. No matter where she went, servants greeted her respectfully and warmly.

In Qingyun Courtyard, Liu Yunqing was painting in the courtyard, while Xia Jingyao was reading beside him. After finishing a painting, Liu Yunqing put down the pen in his hand and took a sip of tea on the table. Xia Jingyao put down the book in his hand and looked at Liu Yunqing's painting.

"Master Hou, do you still know how to draw?" Liu Yunqing teased with a smile.

"I don't understand, but I like it very much." Xia Jingyao responded with a smile.

"Since the Marquis likes it, I will give it to the Marquis. The Marquis will cherish it." Liu Yunqing smiled even more when he heard Xia Jingyao's words.

"Qing'er gave it to me, and I will naturally cherish it. Do you want to go shopping on the street today? It's a rare day of leisure? "I have been busy during this period, and it is rare to have a day of leisure, so Xia Jingyao wanted to take Liu Yunqing to go shopping. .

"I'm not going. I just want to stay in the house today and don't want to go anywhere." Liu Yunqing took a piece of cake and handed it to Xia Jingyao's mouth. Xia Jingyao opened his mouth and bit off half of it, and Liu Yunqing put the remaining half into his mouth. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, the pastries were especially sweet.

"Liu Yunqing, why are you so shameless that you even ate the cakes that Brother Jing had eaten?" At this moment, Zhao Zi walked in angrily. Originally, she came here happily to take credit and seek praise. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Liu Yunqing feeding Xia Jingyao cakes and eating the remaining cakes himself, and he immediately became angry.

"Could it be that Miss Zhao also wants to eat?" Liu Yunqing looked at Zhao Zi with a smile.

"I don't have that. I won't be as shameless as you." Zhao Zi denied it. Although she wanted to, she could never admit it in front of Liu Yunqing.

Liu Yunqing picked up another piece of pastry and put it to Xia Jingyao's mouth. After Xia Jingyao bit off half of it, Liu Yunqing put the other half into his mouth again. Liu Yunqing ate the cake in his mouth and looked at Zhao Zi provocatively.

"Liu Yunqing, you are shameless. Brother Jing, why are you helping her bully Zi'er?" Zhao Zi saw Liu Yunqing's provocative eyes and stamped his feet angrily, looking at Xia Jingyao aggrievedly.

"Xiaozi, why are you here at Qingyun Courtyard?" Xia Jingyao changed the subject.

"Brother Jing, Zi'er helped everyone in the house solve a problem. Isn't Zi'er very powerful?" Zhao Zi asked Xia Jingyao for credit with a smile on his face.

"It's amazing. If Brother Tan knew about it, he would definitely be shocked. I have done so many things, and the silver coins I brought are almost used. When you need silver coins, just go to Butler He." Xia Jingyao didn't expect that, Zhao Zi could really persevere and solve everything.

"Zi'er doesn't want brother Jing's silver. Zi'er's daily necessities are about to be used up. Zi'er wants to buy them in person. Can brother Jing take Zi'er there?" Zhao Zi seized the opportunity and invited.

"I won't go, let Qing'er take you there. She is very familiar with the shops in the city and will definitely be able to help you find what you like." Xia Jingyao declined without hesitation.

"I am free today. If Miss Zhao is willing, we can set off now." Liu Yunqing took the words at the right time.

"Brother Jing, just go with Zi'er. You said that Zi'er is great this time, so just think of it as a reward for Zi'er. How about accompanying Zi'er? How about returning the favor?" Zhao Zi walked up to Xia Jingyao , holding on to Xia Jingyao's clothes, shaking and coquettishly.

"Master Hou, let's go together." Liu Yunqing said from the side. She didn't want to help Zhao Zi, but she just didn't like other women acting coquettishly towards Xia Jingyao.

"Okay." Since Liu Yunqing said it, Xia Jingyao naturally no longer refused. He had originally planned to go shopping with Liu Yunqing, but now there was just one more person.

Upon hearing Xia Jingyao's agreement, Zhao Zi pulled Xia Jingyao and ran outside. Liu Yunqing smiled bitterly and shook his head, then followed.

Zhao Zi took Xia Jingyao to every store. When he saw something he liked, he begged Xia Jingyao to buy it for her. When Xia Jingyao agreed to buy it for her, she would look at Liu Yunqing like a winner. Liu Yunqing simply ignored her childish behavior. For the sake of her solving problems for the servants in the house, Liu Yunqing indulged her once and made her happy for once.

Zhao Zi pestered Xia Jingyao all the time. Xia Jingyao wanted to talk to Liu Yunqing several times, but Zhao Zi took him away. Xia Jingyao winked at Liu Yunqing and asked Liu Yunqing to help him escape. Liu Yunqing pretended not to see it and just looked at the products in the store. Seeing Zhao Zi trying so hard to get close to Xia Jingyao, Liu Yunqing suddenly couldn't bear it. There is nothing wrong with liking someone, and there is nothing wrong with not liking someone. The saddest thing is that the person you like doesn't like you. Even if you try your best, you still can't get the other person to look at you again. Approach with hope, but in the end leave with regret and despair.

Looking at Zhao Zi, who was smiling like a flower, Liu Yunqing stopped and watched quietly as Zhao Zi and Xia Jingyao walked further and further away. Liu Yunqing asked Lian'er to follow him. If Xia Jingyao asked, he would say that there was something urgent in the store and Liu Yunqing had to go and deal with it.

Liu Yunqing took Haitang and unknowingly arrived in front of the original Liu Mansion. At this time, the Liu Mansion had already changed the plaque and even the color of the door. Only the stone lion in front of the door remains as it was before. Pictures from the past appeared in Liu Yunqing's mind one after another. This used to be the Liu Mansion. Even if she and Liu Wanshan were at loggerheads, this was still her home. But now, the father who loves her the most will never be seen again. This is no longer her home, and her aunt and brother have gone to nowhere. She suddenly had the urge to meet Liu Yunfei, a biological sister who had never regarded her as her sister. But thinking of Xiao Ming, Liu Yunqing gave up the idea of ​​meeting Liu Yunfei.

At this time, Xiao Cheng was reading in Xiao Cheng's study room in the county governor's mansion, when Butler Xiao opened the door and walked in.

"Master, everything is ready. Do you want to act as planned?" Butler Xiao asked respectfully.

"It's been so long, it's time to end. Let's act as planned." Xiao Cheng said without raising his head while still reading the book.

"Yes, sir." Butler Xiao agreed and exited the study.

Butler Xiao left the study and came to Xiao Ming's yard. At this time, Xiao Ming was drinking and listening to music with a group of friends.

"Sir." Butler Xiao came to Xiao Ming and saluted respectfully.

"What are you doing here? If you have nothing to do, get out of here and don't disturb my elegance." Xiao Ming didn't have a good look towards Butler Xiao.

"Sir, this old slave brings you some great news about Liu Yunqing." Butler Xiao's face was full of flattery.

"Oh, tell me." Xiao Ming suffered several losses, but still couldn't resist Liu Yunqing's words.

Butler Xiao came close to Xiao Ming's ear and whispered for a while, and the smile on Xiao Ming's face became bigger and bigger.
