Since there was nothing else for Concubine Chu to talk to Concubine Dong about, she got up and left.
Meanwhile, at the Su Mansion.
When Helian Qi returned to the side room, he saw Dongfang Yi pointing at Little Tail and constantly saying "Sit". He stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing?"
Dongfang Yi, who was training Little Tail, looked up and smiled. "I'm training Little Tail. Watch."
"Little Tail, sit."
Dongfang Yi made a fist with one hand and pointed at Little Tail with the other. As if understanding Dongfang Yi's words, Little Tail obediently sat on the ground.
Helian Qi was surprised that Dongfang Yi could tame this little puppy.
"Watch this." Dongfang Yi continued, making a fist with one hand and stretching the other out in front of Little Tail. "Shake hands."
After saying that, Little Tail stuck out its tongue and stretched one of its front paws into Dongfang Yi's hand.
"You always surprise me, Dong'er." Helian Qi looked at Dongfang Yi in front of him lovingly and unconsciously pulled Dongfang Yi into his arms.
Little Tail was very sensible and went to one side to play by itself.
In Helian Qi's arms, Dongfang Yi always felt that Helian Qi was a bit strange tonight. She wrapped her arms around Helian Qi and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"Nothing. I just want to hug you." Helian Qi tightened his arms around Dongfang Yi.
Thinking that Helian Qi was affected by the atmosphere at the Su Mansion today and feeling a bit melancholy, Dongfang Yi stayed still in Helian Qi's arms, feeling a bit heart - ache for him.
Seeing that Dongfang Yi was so obedient, Helian Qi smiled and let go of her. He walked back to the bed and prepared to rest. "Go to bed early. We'll be out for a whole day tomorrow. If you don't rest well, you'll be listless."
Dongfang Yi was a bit dazed by Helian Qi's attitude. She nodded and walked to the bed to rest.
At the Rong Mansion.
Rong Yi was deploying the people who would go to Broken - Heart Lake tomorrow. Looking at the highly skilled martial artists in front of him, he said, "The young master we need to protect tomorrow has a very noble status. Everyone should be extremely vigilant. There must be no mistakes."
One of them looked at Rong Yi and said, "But we don't know him. How can we tell who to protect?"
"The martial artists at the Su Mansion today already know. There are people who know arranged at each point. They will tell you then."
The others all nodded. Seeing that the arrangements were in place, Rong Yi dismissed the group.
Rong Liang looked at his son with some concern. "Why don't you investigate the assassins but only make deployments?"
"Father, you should know that once an assassin is captured, they will commit suicide. Time is pressing, so the deployment is more important." Rong Yi didn't look at Rong Liang. With his hands behind his back, he looked at the topographic map in front of him.
Rong Liang nodded in satisfaction and then asked, "Do you have any idea who is behind this?"
"Whoever dares to attack the young master, there should be only one person." Rong Yi raised his eyes and looked straight ahead. "But this person is not in the capital, so we can only suspect someone from the mansion."
Rong Liang, satisfied again, also put his hands behind his back and said, "Good."
"Father." Still a bit worried about Su Luo, Rong Yi looked at Rong Liang and said, "Tomorrow, you stay in the dark and protect only one person."
"The young master?" Rong Liang knew that the person Rong Yi was talking about was definitely not Helian Qi, but he still wanted to tease his wooden - like son.
"No." Rong Yi shook his head. "Su Luo."
Rong Liang raised his eyebrows with a smile, rolled up the topographic map on the table and put it away. "The young master is also there, but you actually ask your father to protect that girl Su Luo?"
"Of course." Rong Yi picked up the painting tube beside him and handed it to Rong Liang. "The young master has so many people to protect him, but your daughter - in - law has to defend herself."
"Does that girl know that you think so? Father heard that the girl wants to break off the engagement." Rong Liang put away the topographic map and said to Rong Yi.
Glancing at Rong Liang, Rong Yi said nothing more and walked out with his hands behind his back. Rong Liang looked at his son, shook his head with a smile, and then sat down to deal with his official business.
Except for Dongfang Yi and Donghua, no one else slept well that night.
Because they were going to admire the flowers today, the excited Dongfang Yi woke up early. She got up, washed up, had breakfast, and was ready to set off.
Su Luo went to bed late last night, so she got up late this morning. She said to Dongfang Yi apologetically, "I got up late. I'll be ready soon."
After saying that, she gobbled up the breakfast on the table like a whirlwind.
Dongfang Yi, watching from the side, didn't know whether she should reach out or not. Finally, she reached out and stroked Su Luo's back. "It's not that urgent. Eat slowly."
Su Luo, who had gobbled up the food, was a bit choked. She waved her hand, drank a bowl of soup, and then said, "Madam, you may not know. The flower - admiring festival is held only once a year and is very grand. There are many people coming from afar. So if we're any later, the road will be congested."
Just then, the young servant at the door came in and said, "Young Master Rong is here."
After drinking the soup, Su Luo wasn't particular about manners. She wiped her mouth with her sleeve and said, "Let's go."
The group went out, got into the carriage prepared by Rong Yi, and headed for Broken - Heart Lake. Along the way, Su Luo was a bit nervous and very reserved. Dongfang Yi, who was used to seeing Su Luo being generous, looked at Donghua in confusion and whispered, "What's wrong with Su Luo today? Why is she so reserved?"
Following Dongfang Yi's gaze and looking at Su Luo, Donghua also noticed Su Luo's nervousness. She asked, "Su Luo, are you nervous?"
"Ah?" Su Luo, who was thinking about what was to come, was a bit absent - minded and didn't hear Donghua's question. "What did you say?"
Donghua shook her head and looked at Dongfang Yi in confusion.
Sensing that the two women were suspicious, Rong Yi suddenly said, "Don't think too much about the engagement. Since I promised to solve it, just trust me."
Su Luo knew that Rong Yi was helping her out, so she nodded.
Dongfang Yi, who had always wanted to match Rong Yi and Su Luo, smiled and said to Su Luo, "Su Luo, was it because of this that you made a scene at the Yellow Crane Tower that day?"
Su Luo nodded. "My father has already started making arrangements. Rong Yi promised to solve it, but there has been no progress at all. I had to use my own method."
"Your method? Such a reckless act can be called a method?" Su Luo's action was indeed ill - considered, so Rong Yi's tone was a bit like that of an educator.
Not liking to be lectured by Rong Yi, Su Luo forgot her nervousness and said, "If you hadn't made any progress, would I have resorted to such a last - ditch effort?"
"Since I've said I'll solve it, you should trust me." Rong Yi looked at Su Luo and asked, "When have I ever lied to you?"
"The last time you promised to go watch the monkey show with me."
Su Luo glanced at Dongfang Yi, who was looking at them with curiosity, and suddenly didn't want to say any more.
