The master and servant hid behind the pillar and muttered, their heads almost touching each other.
Hang Li listened to them whispering about Li Chi and the academy students. Then he looked up at Xue Ru opposite, who looked helpless because of Di Tao's entanglement with him. He couldn't help but purse his lips tightly, and felt as if his heart had collapsed. Jars of mud make breathing heavy.
"Some things have to be fought for by yourself. You can't wait for them." Xiao Yan said quietly.
Hang Li raised his head: "Master..."
Xiao Yan said: "She is no longer the little concubine that no one cared about before. After the treasure is wiped away from the dusty gravel, everyone can see the goodness in her."
"Besides, there are many ways that men and women can use each other. Not everyone can be considered a gentleman like Di Tao. Don't imitate Gu Helian and stick around like that, only to regret it in the end."
Hang Li moved his lips. He originally felt that he did not need to express his feelings. Xue Ru also knew it. He felt that it was uncertain whether he would live or die in the northwest battlefield. He should not leave his future and future to a little girl. He felt that he could Wait, but now he hesitated.
Xiao Yan actually doesn't care whether Di Tao or Hang Li ends up with Xue Ru. He cares about Tang Ning and loves Xue Ru as much as he can. As long as the husband she finally finds has good character and treats her well, even if it's not Di Tao and Hang Li, He doesn't care either.
He had never thought about relying on Xue Ru to win over anyone, he just simply couldn't stand the way Hang Li liked her but didn't strive to wait for her to get married.
If he were like this, Xiao Haitang would have been abducted long ago.
Xiao Yan stopped talking and said nothing more. He calmed down and stepped forward to give Tang Ning a pat.
Tang Ning, who was talking happily to Hua Wu, was startled and turned around in surprise: "Brother?" She looked back and said, "Why are you here? Where are Mr. Cao and the others?"
"After we finished talking, they left first."
Xiao Yan followed Tang Ning's gaze and suddenly said: "Ditao!"
Di Tao, who was pestering Xue Ru at the other end, suddenly became excited. When he saw Xiao Yan and the others, his face instantly turned red. He quickly whispered to Xue Ru, "I'll come back to you later." Dian ran over.
Xiao Yan looked at him: "Didn't you just say you went to the toilet? Then you left and never came back?"
Di Tao said: "I just saw that Brother Xiao and the old man of the Cao family had something to say, and I couldn't understand it, so I just came out and walked around..."
"Just wander around and come to this backyard. What are your rules?" Xiao Yanleng glanced at him: "Also, why don't you call me Uncle Xiao?"
Di Tao's scalp suddenly became tense. He turned around and glanced at Xue Ru with a dull look on his face: "I don't think I'm young and handsome. If I stand with my father and look at each other, I'm not from the same generation. It's very unlucky for me to call you uncle... …”
As for Xiao Yan's previous question, he pretended not to have heard it at all.
Seeing Xiao Yan looking at him expressionlessly, Di Tao felt a chill running down his spine. He quickly turned around and asked for help: "Sister-in-law..."
help me!
Tang Ning couldn't help but laugh and patted Xiao Yan: "Stop teasing him. If you tease him any longer, he will cry."
Hua Wu laughed out loud at the side: "I have never seen a crying general, but if General Di cries, maybe there will be someone to comfort him, right, Mrs. Ru..."
"Stinky Huawu!"
Xue Ru's face suddenly turned red and she stretched out her hand to scratch Hua Wu.
The little girl hurriedly laughed and hid behind her, occasionally raising her sleeves in a "provocative" way: "I put on the powder today, and it doesn't smell at all. But why is Lady Ru's face so red? Girl, look at it quickly, Ru Did the lady put on too much rouge?"
Tang Ning chuckled: "It seems that there is some. A Ru's rouge is of good color. Where did you buy it? I'll ask Hua Wu to buy some later..."
"Sister!!"
Xue Ru was laughed at and stamped her feet, then turned around to scratch Tang Ning.
Tang Ning hurriedly grabbed Xiao Yan's sleeve and swung around to hide behind him, swaying with laughter. Xiao Yan was forced to stretch out his hand to protect her, feeling helpless: "Be careful if you fall."
…
After all the fuss, Di Tao was afraid that Xue Ru would be really embarrassed, so he hurriedly found an excuse to drag Xiao Yan and Tang Ning away. After they left, Xue Ru covered her face in embarrassment.
She is not stupid, and she has been sensitive since she was a child. Di Tao has been obsessed with her several times and found excuses to come to her. No matter how slow she is, she understands how Ditao feels about her.
She was not angry at Hua Wu and her sister for laughing at her. Instead, she understood that her sister's jokes just now were a disguised reminder to her. If she didn't mean anything to Di Tao, she should refuse earlier to avoid misunderstanding by others.
Xue Ru was originally worried that she would affect the relationship between the Di family and her sister, but after today's incident with the Cui family, she calmed down.
It seems that I have to find a chance to explain it to Di Tao.
"Aru."
The sound behind her made Xue Ru pause as she patted her face. When she turned around and saw Hang Li standing in the corridor, she looked surprised: "Brother Hang, when did you come back?"
Hang Li was happy when he met her bright eyes, but when he saw the blush on her cheeks, most of his joy was gone.
Xue Ru stepped forward with a smile: "I heard from Uncle He that you have been busy these days and I haven't seen you in the house for several days. Are you finished with your work? When will you have time to continue teaching me martial arts? I have mastered the moves you taught me last time and can show them to you at any time..."
Her smile was bright, and it was a completely different kind of intimacy than when she faced Di Tao.
"Let me tell you, I had a fight with people in the academy the day before yesterday during the martial arts class. They couldn't beat me. Even the master in the martial arts class praised me for my talent and said that I was just a little older. If If you practice martial arts when you are young, you might become a master.”
The little girl was chirping beside her, and she couldn't help jumping up and down happily while holding the account book. Her words were full of showing off and pride, which was completely different from her usual gentle, well-behaved and polite person.
Hang Li looked at her quietly with a gentle expression.
Xue Ru spoke for a long time without receiving any response, and looked up at him: "Brother Hang, why don't you speak?"
Hang Li said: "I'm going to the northwest."
Xue Ru was stunned, and her originally cheerful feet stopped. She reached out and hugged the account book in her arms and asked softly: "When did it happen? Why didn't I hear you tell me about it?"
Hang Li said: "It was decided some time ago. After mentioning it to the master, he agreed. I have been preparing to go to the northwest during this period, so I am often away from the house."
"oh."
Xue Ru responded in a low voice, but in an instant, she smiled again:
"It's good to go to the northwest. With your martial arts skills, you shouldn't be trapped in this little Cuiyun Lane."
"I heard Sister Yuejian say before that you are very powerful and your skills are not inferior to those of Canglang and others. You only stayed in Tang Mansion to protect my sister. Now that my sister and Brother Xiao have decided to get married, there will be no one in Beijing in a short time." It’s considered peaceful, and you can get a good future for yourself by going to the northwest.”
