Seeing that Li Fenglan was unwilling to give him a clear answer, Han Lu was not angry. He understood Li Fenglan's concerns. There was still a tacit understanding between the two along the way.
Han Lu gently patted Li Fenglan's back and asked, "Are you trying to escape again now?"
"Well..." Li Fenglan replied softly, "It's getting more and more difficult."
"Run away, I won't blame you this time."
"We can't run away... The person who is most upset right now is probably Jade. I haven't seen her for several days and I don't even know what she is doing."
"You two are hiding from each other. You sit by the lake every day, and Jade is studying nvhong with Granny Mei every day, and you are both running away."
Li Fenglan struggled out of Han Lu's arms, narrowed her eyes and asked, "School Girl Hong?"
Although Jade is good at needlework, she has no interest in female celebrities at all, and Chen Yan never forces them to learn this, mainly because Chen Yan himself doesn't know how to do it.
Jade is indeed learning to be a girl, for no other reason than to make her head empty.
The people who learned female beauty from Grandma Mei were all eleven or twelve-year-old children in the valley. It seemed a bit awkward for her to sit next to Grandma Mei at such an old age.
"Jade," Granny Mei bit off the thread in her hand and asked, "Actually, you don't have to force yourself to learn."
Jade looked at the pair of overweight, dull-eyed, dying mandarin ducks in her hands, sighed, and said, "Mother-in-law, I just want to find something for myself to do."
"Mother-in-law, I don't really care about things in the building, but the little girls are willing to talk to me if they have something on their minds. It's nothing more than the relationship between men and women. The family is neither long nor short. At my age, if there is something on other people's minds, And if something is wrong, I can tell at a glance. Jade, there is something on your mind, both about your sweetheart and about the people in the building."
Jade said: "I won't hide it from you, mother-in-law. It's true. He wanted to kill my mother, and I don't know what I thought."
Mother-in-law Mei frowned: "Ah, my mother-in-law can't make up your mind. I know you like the third boy from the Bai family, otherwise, how about we change her to another one? Girl, you are so beautiful, why don't you find a good husband?" easy."
Jade said melancholy: "But he is good-looking."
"There are so many good-looking young men in the world. Besides, you can't look for a man just based on his face."
"The face is the most important thing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jade heard a long voice coming from behind: "Superficial woman."
Looking back, Li Fenglan and Han Lu were standing behind her.
Jade scoffed and pointed at Han Lu with her chin: "If he looks crooked, can you like him?"
Li Fenglan shook her head: "I don't like it."
"Then you have the nerve to accuse me? Aren't we all like this? We look twice at good-looking things and ignore ugly things. Muyun, if Li Fenglan looked like a monkey in the mountains, would you like it? "
Han Lu raised her eyebrows: "Uh... I like... I guess..."
Li Fenglan gave him an elbow, pulled Jade's hand, and said, "Let me go out for a walk." Then she turned to Han Lu and said, "Don't follow me."
After the two girls left, Han Lu picked up the embroidery that Jade had thrown on the ground, frowned and asked, "What are these two fat birds?"
Granny Mei smiled and said, "Mandarin duck."
…
Han Lu was not idle during this period of time in the valley. He had superb swordsmanship. In this valley, except Jade, no one among the younger generation was his opponent. Therefore, after he arrived, Li Fenglan asked him to teach the children in the valley how to practice swordsmanship. Hanlu has a good temper and is patient. The children like him very much.
Li Fenglan took Fei Cui to the depths of the forest, chatting about recent events while walking. The two sisters tacitly avoided the Bai family and Li Fengyao.
"My mother didn't let us come here when we were young. When we grew up, we realized that it was nothing. The forest was only so big." Li Fenglan said absently, looking at the big tree that was sprouting buds.
Jade was also a little absent-minded: "You pulled me out just to talk about this?"
"Since when can we sisters only talk about business? I'm talking about idle talk."
Isn’t it okay to write a chapter? "
Jade shook off Li Fenglan's hand: "Forget it, I have something else to do."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the forest.
Li Fenglan caught up with her: "What do you want? Embroidery? You don't like it."
"Who says I don't like it?"
"You've always been like this, you're too lazy to learn anything flashy...except makeup."
"I'm interested now, okay?"
"Why are you learning this? Now that you've become the young mistress of the Bai family, you still have to do this yourself?"
"When Amber has a child, can't I make clothes for her child?"
"The Zhu family is a big family, can they use you?"
"I am the child's aunt. I have other meanings. Besides..." Jade stopped and changed the subject, "Who said I want to be the young mistress of the Bai family?"
"You have assumed that you are the young mistress of the Bai family since last year, and now you deny it?"
"No, I won't marry him." Jade continued to walk out.
Li Fenglan continued to chase: "Are you really going to give up on him?"
"kindness."
"Why?"
"Li Fenglan!" Jade was furious, "You're not done yet, are you?! Why don't you understand?!"
"I know!" Li Fenglan responded desperately, "But it has to be solved, right? Are you going to live alone in the future? Don't leave everything to me. Can you think about it by yourself occasionally? I have a solution, and the way is to do it Damn your mother, but what should I do? I did let Lao Mo go, do you think Lao Mo can do it? Jade, let me beg you, you can make up your own mind about this matter, whatever you say is what it is, no matter what Whatever your answer is, I’ll help you do it, okay?”
Jade bit her lip and said two words from between her teeth: "Not good."
"Why?"
"Don't you always say that you are smart? Don't you have to be the master of everything? Why are you throwing this problem to me now? I don't know how to solve it, and I don't want to solve it. That's it. If you want to kill me, you can kill me. none of my business."
Li Fenglan pulled Jade hard: "Jade! You are exactly like Bai Shuyu now! You both believe this fallacy! Then tell me clearly! Do you want me to kill you or not? Don't be so ambiguous!"
"How much more clearly do you want me to speak?! Li Fenglan! Don't ask me this question again! Otherwise I will tear your mouth apart!"
Li Fenglan moved her face forward and said loudly: "Tear it apart!"
Jade shook off Li Fenglan's hand and strode out of the forest.
Li Fenglan understood now and did not pester her or force her to answer the question.
The two of them walked in silence all the way out of the deep forest and returned to the residential area. The sky was already dark.
Jade sat on the threshold, looked up at Li Fenglan, sighed, and said, "I know it's irresponsible to leave the problem to you... but I really don't know what to do. You're like in Luzhou You were like that before, wouldn't you like to make the decision for me again? I swear I won't hate you in the future."
Before Li Fenglan could speak, both of them heard the sound of horse hooves not far away.
Looking for the sound, I saw a skinny horse carrying a person on its back, walking feebly.
The person on the horse is Bai Shuyu. He is a little haggard, his clothes are wrinkled, and his face and hands are stained. It seems that he has traveled a long way in one breath.
Both of them were surprised as to why he was here.
Seeing the two sisters sitting on the threshold, Bai Shuyu smiled, but immediately he stopped laughing. He tilted his body and fell off the horse. Jade hurriedly caught him, preventing him from falling directly to the ground.
Jade knelt on the ground and hugged Bai Shuyu's upper body, reached out and patted his face, and asked eagerly: "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Shuyu just opened his mouth, unable to speak.
Li Fenglan hurried home and poured a bowl of water. After drinking the water, Bai Shuyu's complexion improved a lot. He looked at Jade with a sad smile on his face: "Jade...come home with me...".
Jade was a little confused: "Why?
? Can you first tell me what's going on with you? What happened? "
Bai Shuyu suddenly started crying, with snot and tears streaming down his face, not caring about his image at all. Jade took out a handkerchief to wipe him and whispered, "Tell me about it."
"Sister..." Bai Shuyu cried, "My sister...is gone..."
Li Fenglan and Feicui said in unison: "What?!"
Bai Shuyu stopped crying: "I said... let's do it. The matter is over, there is no other solution, it has already happened... The second brother can't forgive himself. I don't know when he left the Bai family, and I don't know. Where have you gone? My sister has been on a hunger strike for a few days. Yesterday...yesterday, she..." Bai Shuyu started crying again. Although he didn't say what the outcome was, Li Fenglan and Feicui both guessed it.
Jade patted him gently and said, "My condolences..."
Bai Shuyu suddenly grabbed Jade's hand: "Jade! Come back with me! Go to the Bai family, stay with me, and be my hostage. Only in this way will your mother let go of our Bai family. Now I only have a relative like my eldest brother. No more. I have no choice, Jade, I beg you."
Jade turned to look at Li Fenglan, then at Bai Shuyu, thought for a while, and replied calmly: "Okay."
Li Fenglan hurriedly said: "Jade! You..."
Jade interrupted her and said, "I've already come to my senses. There's no need to persuade me... I'm going to Bai's house. You and Brother Shunlai will take care of things in the valley."
Li Fenglan couldn't persuade Feicui, so she rode a horse and followed Bai Shuyu out of the valley.
…
Bai Shuyu is very weak. He cannot sleep these days. The entire Bai family is like a frog falling into a pot, struggling with no way out.
As each branch established a clear relationship with Luoyang, he could mobilize even less power. A few days ago, some martial arts sects entangled a group of people and cleared out many hidden dangers in the Bai family, but Bai Shuyu had no countermeasures.
After leaving the valley, Bai Shuyu finally couldn't hold on anymore and almost fell off his horse. His thin horse was also at the end of its strength and was constantly foaming at the mouth. So the two abandoned the thin horse, rode together, and galloped towards the Bai family.
When I returned to Bai's house, it was almost dawn.
There are not many people in the Bai family today. Many servants were dismissed by Bai Shuyu, leaving only Lian Rong and a few more loyal servants, as well as a few people from Xianren Hall. After they returned to Chaolan Valley, Bai Shuyu called the people from Xianrentang to Bai's house, fearing that they would be implicated.
