Bad luck, I've run into this guy again

  Today the weather is nice, thin sunlight shines through the sky and reflects on a tender pinkish-white complexion. Such a lively and delicate face, yet it's covered with a faintly cold indifference.

  "As the saying goes, 'knowing a person's face but not their heart', people often misjudge others. It's not uncommon for me to make mistakes either. Fly Swallow, this isn't a place you should be staying in, it's better if you leave quickly before my brother sees you, or things might get complicated. Besides, you've already been given to my brother by the Dai Wang Fu, so for your own good, it's best not to mention 'my husband' again in the future." Generally speaking, when a beauty is sent over by a superior, the power of life and death lies in one's own hands, and there's usually no reason to send them back.

  Feiyan's eyes glared venomously at the egg-like face, and she smiled miserably: "Miss, Feiyan will remember your words today, and they will be etched in her memory forever."

  Linglong gazed at her departing back, made a fist-shaking gesture, and said to Ruoxi with concern: "Miss, it seems that this Feiyan girl still has a big temper."

  A faint smile, "Never mind, those who can't see through the times are also pitiful."

  This swallow, since childhood was sold into the Dai Wang Fu, has been trained to be a thin horse that pulls the cage of the three major forces of politics, commerce and military in the Dai Wang Fu. However, due to the power of the superior officials, most people are more favorable towards these thin horses. Being lifted as a concubine and becoming a favored mistress is the majority, this swallow has the qualifications to be proud, unfortunately, her pride in the General's mansion, has become a ridiculous decoration.

  For these poor women who cannot control their own destiny, sympathy is not different from sympathy, but once this sympathy involves interests that are equally important to oneself, it can only be abandoned. She is neither a saint nor a strong person, and there is no compassionate heart to accommodate them with a small abacus in her belly.

  Arriving at the Xuan Zhu Institute, Zhiyi was already seated at the large red wooden round table in the hall, while Chaoyun and the maids were busy arranging the dishes. Seeing Ruoqing arrive, Chaoyun smiled and said: "Miss has arrived just in time, the dishes will be served immediately."

  With a gentle smile, she sat down and said to Zhiyi, "Brother, I plan to go out of the mansion tomorrow."

  Zhi Yi Dao said: "What's the point of going out again when everything is fine?"

  Since the last time Ruo Qing was caught sneaking out to swim in the back mountain and got severely punished, Zhi Yi has been stricter with her, imposing a curfew and not allowing her to go out privately or step out of the gate. If Ruo Qing wants to go out, she must get his consent first.

  "In half a month, Brother Chun will have his full moon banquet. Datong doesn't have stores selling children's clothing, I think I'll go outside to buy some good fabric and make two decent hats for Brother Chun."

  Zhī yì mù guāng wēn hé, "nǐ shǒu tóu de huó jì dōu hái wèi zuò wán, hái shì suàn le bǎ, xiǎo hái zǐ nǎ lái nà me duō jiǎng jiù."

  English Translation:

  Zhī yì's gaze was warm and gentle. "You still have a lot of work to do, let's just forget it for now, kids don't need to talk so much."

  As if unwilling to part with it, "This is also a bit of heart for me as an aunt. Can brother bear to cut it off?"

  No matter how much she tried to persuade him, Zhiyi still disagreed and got annoyed, rolling his eyes several times. Finally, he hastily ate a few mouthfuls of rice before putting down his chopsticks. Zhiyi couldn't help but remind her to eat more, saying that this place was different from the capital city, where they wouldn't be preparing midnight snacks.

  As I touch my own plump arms and chubby little belly, I really don't dare eat midnight snacks anymore.

  She saw that he looked unhappy, thinking of how she had been staying up late recently to make clothes and shoes for Yuan Ge and Chun Ge, her heart softened, and she couldn't bear it, so she finally agreed to her request.

  Under the guarantee of Zhen Yu's promise, Zhi Yi finally let her out, thinking that buying some fabric and snacks on the way back would not lead to another encounter with horse thieves. However, things often go awry.

  This time, I'm preparing to make two hats for Brother Chun. I went out to buy materials and took the opportunity to get some fresh air. I bought some snacks that I love to eat, or had some new dishes at a restaurant outside.

  Today was a bit unlucky, she was in a "Wah Kee Dim Sum" shop picking some dim sum, picked a small half, suddenly found someone outside, casually raised her head to take a look, and shouted "bad luck".

  ……

  Li Xiu wore a full-length blue brocade cheongsam with golden embroidery and jade inlays, a cyan gold-inlaid gemstone crown on his head, a shallow blue dragon-embroidered forehead ribbon, and a pair of black leather boots loosely tucked into his pants. Several plainclothes royal guards followed closely behind him, giving off the air of a spoiled rich kid.

  Li Xue entered the store and ignored the shopkeeper's greeting, her tiger eyes scanning the place back and forth as if searching for something.

  Finally, his gaze settled on a certain place, and his eyes sank.

  The shopkeeper followed Li Xiao's gaze to Ru Qing, then looked at his attire and the several sturdy house servants behind him. Suddenly thinking of something, he lowered his voice and said: "Young master, this young lady is the younger sister of General Fang, the Guardian General."

  Li Xiu gave the shopkeeper a glance, very displeased. This old man was simply asking for trouble, really taking him for a spoiled son who would forcibly take a commoner's daughter?

  The shopkeeper saw that the young man in front of him was not like the spoiled sons he had met before. Upon hearing the name of General Zhen Guo, he immediately lost his arrogance and didn't dare to take another step forward. The shopkeeper was also surprised, thinking that this must be a bold guy. Out of respect for General Zhen Guo, the shopkeeper smiled and said: "Young master, are you here to buy pastries?"

  Li Xiang didn't respond, but instead gazed leisurely at the slender figure with its back to him, like a sly mouse, almost sticking to the wall, and if there was a seam there, it would definitely drill in like a mouse.

  Digression

  Two days in a row, I haven't slept well. The child has been hungry for a day and night after the surgery, but I don't dare give him anything to eat. He cried all night, hoping he can eat something today.
