"If I can't even avoid this matter, wouldn't my life have been in vain?"

Wei Huaien shook his head.

"This is a test given to me by my father. As a woman, I have to be able to stop everyone in Youyou's mouth in person before I can be qualified to get his permission and become King Duan's opponent. So I have written to Qintian Prison and asked them to use it. The celestial phenomena broke the situation for me."

Ning Yu's eyes sparkled, and she reached out and stroked Wei Huai'en's temples.

"My aunt promised your mother that she would take care of you two and grow up well. But I failed her..."

"aunt……"

Wei Huai'en wanted to comfort her, but she signaled Wei Huai'en to listen to her.

"If something happens to Huaide, we are not trusted by the emperor, so we can only rely on you to vindicate him. Now you have your own way to go, and we will not advise you to settle down."

Ning Yu's eyes seemed to see through Wei Huaien's heart at once, and every sentence shocked Wei Huaien's heart.

"Whatever you want to do, just do it. We will help you."

Jiang Jue touched his empty left sleeve and said solemnly:

"Your aunt is right. Some justice cannot be given to anyone, so you can only ask for it yourself."

Wei Huai'en moved his lips, but didn't know what to say. But Mrs. Ning held her hand.

"Come on, go to the back with your aunt to see if the clothes prepared for you are suitable. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. How can you be dressed so inappropriately?"

"good."

She hugged Mrs. Ning's arm and sniffed her scent with attachment. This is home.

Li Kong Mansion.

A wide-sleeved dress with koi fish embroidered with gold thread was thrown in front of Meng Keshu's dressing mirror.

Li Kong didn't change into his official uniform, he just stood at the door with a solemn face, looking at the confused Meng Keshu, and said coldly:

"I'll pick you up later, put on this outfit and watch the lanterns with me."

It wasn't until his figure disappeared outside the Moon Gate that Meng Keshu realized that he was taking her out of the house tonight.

She was so happy that she didn't know what to do. This was the first time he allowed her to go out after returning to Beijing. No matter how much she hated him, she couldn't dilute this joy.

The travel journal she had not finished reading was placed on the table by her. Without calling the maid, she put on her skirt and shirt, combed her hair into a bun, and sat on the swing facing the door, waiting for him to come over.

It is really easy for people to lose themselves in a stable environment. In the past, Meng Keshu would never have cherished the opportunity to go out during festivals as much as he does now.

Even because I was so looking forward to going out this time, my hatred for Li Kong was diluted a lot.

So much so that when Li Kong changed into regular clothes and came over, Meng Keshu did not treat him coldly as usual. Instead, he took a few steps toward him and asked him while keeping his distance:

"Are we leaving now?"

"Are you that happy?"

Li Kong did not answer her, but looked her up and down. He was very satisfied when he saw that the dress matched her very well, but he felt that her bun was too casual.

Meng Keshu was speechless for a moment. Her dignity told her that she could not let Li Kong know her expectations. To be kind to the oppressor was surrender and meekness. She should use words to stab him, just like last time.

How can there be a good time between them?

Li Kong suddenly knelt down in front of her and lifted up her skirt. Meng Keshu was so frightened that he took several steps back:

"what you do?"

"Untie the chain on your foot. Do you want to take it out with me?"

It was strange that he didn't get angry because of her dodge while he was squatting there. Only then did Meng Keshu realize that she had become completely accustomed to the existence of the anklet, and even thought that the sound of it dragging on the floor was the same as that of the Bu Yao Huan Pei.

existence.

How could she just get used to it?

Li Kong approached her again and untied the thin gold chain, but still kept the anklet that was locked on her ankle.

Meng Keshu didn't say a word. Whenever she felt disgusted and resentful about her life, she would remain silent, because this would at least prevent her from saying too much and making mistakes, and it also allowed her to avoid speaking out of anger.

Choose your words.

Of course, this is also a trait that exists in most gentle and cowardly women like her.

They have learned this kind of resignation through self-reflection day after day, and they think that this way they can express their attitude or express their non-cooperation.

But if she didn't speak, how could Li Kong know how much she hated his control over her.

Once Xuan Yusi got busy with his errands, there was no rest, but today was the Mid-Autumn Festival. He thought, maybe she would like to take her out of the house, maybe this would be another beginning.

He will prove that he and Yan Weiguang are not the same kind of people, and he will really be good to Xiaoyue instead of being self-righteous, let alone exploitation and oppression, right?

"Okay, let's go."

Li Kong casually put the gold chain into his arms and wanted to hold her hand.

But Meng Keshu put his hands behind his back and looked at him warily.

"Li Kong, what do you want to exchange this time?"

The word "exchange" actually meant that she was self-righteous. Li Kong just didn't force her, but there were several things he wanted to do that he needed to discuss with her.

But without asking, she couldn't just accept such unwarranted kindness. How could he be nice to her?

He never asked her if she wanted to be locked in this courtyard, nor did he ask her if she was willing to accept his closeness. She was even a little afraid of the world outside the cage.

She had not forgotten that her exiled body could not appear in the capital. The anklet reminded her that she was blinded by the benefits and made her feel that he had no good intentions.

Li Kong felt a surge of anger from the bottom of his heart for no reason.

She is like this again. Look, she is so guarded against him. How can he have the chance to slowly impress her?

He postponed King Duan's banquet and gave such a good case to someone else just to come back and watch the lanterns with her. But did she appreciate it?

Why can't she see all the good things he does to her? Does it mean that he has to use orders and hurt to make her obedient?

"Exchange? Hahaha, Jiaojiao, don't think too highly of yourself."

The tenderness in his eyes that made Meng Keshu feel uncomfortable turned into coldness. He sneered and pinched Meng Keshu's chin, forcing her to look at him:

"Be obedient. You are only allowed to smile at me tonight, otherwise, I will..."

He bit her lip. There was no blood but it was enough to cause her pain. But she heard him finish the threatening words:

"How about I kill one of your family members?"

After Li Kong said that, he let her go, turned around, walked to the door of the moon, and stood still waiting for her.

Meng Keshu's face flushed with anger, and he wiped his lips with the back of his hand. Sure enough, he stopped pretending. Sure enough, as long as she flirted with him a little, he would use insidious means to intimidate her into obeying.

Isn't it just a laugh? Did he feel that just forcing her to obey in this yard was no longer enough for him, so he had to go to the street to show off?

Okay, that's what she plays.

"Li Kong."

His arms were hugged by her, and he lowered his eyes and watched her leaning against him like a couple in love. He should be satisfied, but it was bitter and unspeakable. She smiled and called him without any grudge:

"let's go."

But everyone knows that this scene will not even last till dawn.

General's Mansion.

"I've finished eating, and I'm going to see the lanterns!"

With rice grains still stuck to the corner of his mouth, Wei Huaien hurriedly grabbed Xiao Qi, who was waiting outside the dining room, and ran out.

"Hey, why are you so anxious? Your cousin will be back soon."

Ning Yu chased after him for a few steps, but Wei Huai'en's voice had already passed the second door.

"I can't wait!"

She really couldn't wait, she couldn't wait to return to the real world of fireworks. No one would know who she was, Princess Jiarou, and no one would care about anything or please because of her identity.

Everyone will be full of fantasies about a life they have never really experienced. Of course she knows that her envy is just because she has never suffered the same hardships as others.

But tonight, she wanted to be like most people, only about pleasure and not about tomorrow.

Xiao Qi held her hand tightly, fearing that anyone who didn't pay attention would be squeezed away by the surging crowd.

Although the General's Mansion sent out secret guards, there was no place where they could deploy in such a busy market, so Xiao Qi only believed in himself.

"Guess lantern riddles?"

Wei Huai'en stopped in front of a lantern shop with doubts, turned around and asked him:

"Isn't it only the Lantern Festival that requires guessing riddles? But his rabbit lantern is really pretty."

"How can people who do business have so many restrictions? Master, look, are there many more people around his house than the others?"

When Xiao Qi saw her stop, he stood behind her to protect her from being hit by pedestrians.

"Too."

She has no interest in guessing lantern riddles because she is too aware of her character and is overly competitive, so she deliberately avoids any matters related to competition so that her heart can be completely focused on the road to heaven.
