"Thank you." Words seemed redundant. Meng Ruyi pursed her lips, her eyes slightly red as she looked into Song Huaizhi's eyes.
Song Huaizhi really understood her well. He took on the burden directly, so she didn't have to worry about those things anymore and could spend some time with her parents before leaving.
"Yu'er, you don't need to say so much to me." Song Huaizhi's expression was gentle. Although his eyes were still bright, there were slight dark circles under them, revealing his tiredness that couldn't be hidden.
Meng Ruyi felt heartache seeing this. "Brother Xiaosong, go back quickly. It's so late."
"Don't worry about me." Song Huaizhi immediately noticed the worry in Meng Ruyi's eyes and couldn't help but chuckle softly. The tiredness in his heart vanished. "I'll handle things well. I've just been a bit busy these days. It will get better in a few days."
Although he said so, Meng Ruyi knew that Song Huaizhi was always very busy. He was on the go all year round, even busier than her parents.
The assets under his name had already exceeded Meng Ruyi's original imagination. Every time she saw them, she couldn't help but sigh.
Meng Ruyi was also sleepy. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her right hand and yawn. A few strands of shallow water appeared in her eyes.
"Are you sleepy?" Song Huaizhi was about to get up. Seeing Meng Ruyi's sleepiness, he said gently, "You should go to bed early too."
After saying that, he got up and walked in front of Meng Ruyi. He bent down and planted a kiss on her lips, light and soft, and then separated immediately.
"Sweet dreams."
Song Huaizhi's movements were so smooth and fast that Meng Ruyi didn't even react. She stared blankly as he left. Before going out, he turned around and winked at her.
[Hahaha, is this the sweetness of young lovers? So cute!]
[I didn't expect Song Huaizhi to be so ruthless in the original book, but he becomes a gentle big brother in front of Yu'er. What should I do! It's even more charming!]
[So sweet! Move the civil affairs bureau here! Let them get married!]
Meng Ruyi looked at the bullet comments and couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. Subconsciously looking up, she saw Jingzhe standing in front of the door, looking at her.
"Hmm?" Meng Ruyi saw that Jingzhe seemed to have something to say but hesitated. So she said to her, "Do you have something to tell me, Jingzhe?"
Hearing this, Jingzhe paused for a moment. She didn't expect Meng Ruyi to understand her so well. So a gentle smile appeared on her face, and she said to her, "Yes."
"The Third Prince sent someone to me these days, asking if I would like to stay by his side."
"Do you want to?"
Looking at the calm expression on Jingzhe's face, Meng Ruyi knew that the Third Prince probably couldn't keep Jingzhe.
"Of course not. But since he asked, I should tell Miss about it."
Zheng Yuanqing, the Third Prince, overestimated his position in Jingzhe's heart. He could never have imagined that as soon as he turned around, Jingzhe would tell Meng Ruyi everything.
Meng Ruyi hadn't heard Zheng Yuanqing's name for several days. Thinking that he had been busy recently and everything was going smoothly now, maybe he would return to the capital soon. So he actually set his sights on Jingzhe.
He really had high hopes, trying to poach someone.
Thinking of this, a thoughtful look appeared on Meng Ruyi's face.
...
For the next period of time, Meng Ruyi stayed at home and followed her parents around all day.
After following them for several days, before Meng Ruyi said anything, Xu Fanglian was a bit unaccustomed to it. So she sent her out, saying that Zhang Yunyun was looking for her.
Sitting in the sedan chair and going out, Meng Ruyi looked at the small town outside. Thinking that she would soon set off for the capital, she felt a bit melancholy.
When she arrived at Zhang Yunyun's place, as soon as she got out of the sedan chair, she saw that Zhang Yunyun was already waiting at the door. Li Yun's younger sister was standing beside her.
"I haven't seen you for several days!" The moment Zhang Yunyun saw her, her eyes lit up. She quickly ran over. "Have you almost forgotten about me!"
Li Nan stood aside, looking at her sister-in-law showing a childish look different from usual. She was a bit surprised. She timidly greeted Meng Ruyi.
"I'm leaving soon, so I came to tell you."
After Meng Ruyi finished speaking, she smiled at the little girl and said, "Why is your face a bit pale? Are you not feeling well?"
Hearing this, Li Nan's face showed a bit of timidity, but she still mustered up the courage and said to Meng Ruyi, "Thank you, Sister Meng, for your concern. I was greedy for the coolness at night these days and caught a cold. But I can't stay in the room anymore, so my sister-in-law accompanied me out for a walk."
"It's okay." Seeing Meng Ruyi's concern, Zhang Yunyun also said, "We've already asked someone to get the medicine. The doctor also said that I'll be fine after a rest."
[It's really not easy. This little girl seemed to die early in the plot. Yu'er and Zhang Yunyun really saved a life by accident.]
[I don't know why I'm inexplicably touched. Although the plot is not as dramatic as the original text now, it's really full of warmth. I like it very much.]
[I love the direction of Yu'er's story. It's so healing every day. I rely on her to recharge my energy every day.]
After accompanying the little girl for a few walks, Meng Ruyi and Zhang Yunyun sent her back. Then they made an appointment to go out for a stroll and have a good chat about what had happened in the past two months.
"How is Li Yun treating you?"
Meng Ruyi didn't feel good asking this question in front of the little girl just now. But after seeing the little girl enter the house and close the door, she was able to take a closer look at Zhang Yunyun's face.
After not seeing each other for a while, the childishness on Zhang Yunyun's face faded little by little, revealing a bit of a woman's charm. She was as charming as a spring flower with dew on it.
"... He's very good."
Not knowing what she was thinking of, Zhang Yunyun's face turned slightly red. She covered her face, trying to suppress the slight heat on it. But when she looked up, she met Meng Ruyi's smiling eyes.
She suddenly fell silent again. Her eyes were shy, showing a kind of happiness that Meng Ruyi had never seen on her face before. She lowered her head and walked a few steps, then looked up at her.
"I have to go to the capital next month."
As soon as Meng Ruyi finished speaking, Zhang Yunyun, who had been lowering her head, suddenly looked up. Looking at her in surprise, she said, "Next month! So soon!"
Meng Ruyi didn't say anything and just nodded.
All the shallow smiles on Zhang Yunyun's face disappeared. She fell into desolation, and her expression was a bit dim. But soon she came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Then you go first. Li Yun and I will probably go to the capital soon too."
"Okay, I know."
Meng Ruyi said gently, "You don't have to be in a hurry. As long as I know you're okay, I'll be at ease."
Zhang Yunyun nodded.
The two walked hand in hand. After walking a few steps, Meng Ruyi suddenly remembered an important thing. So she frowned and asked, "How is your father? Has he done anything else after your marriage?"
Mentioning County Magistrate Zhang, the smile on Zhang Yunyun's face faded little by little. A few strands of coldness flashed in her eyes, and she said with a bit of mockery, "It's okay."
"He just seems to be in a hurry recently. He found something wrong, so he was eager to find connections and came to Li Yun."
"He still wants to be promoted, so of course he's in a hurry."
Hearing this, Meng Ruyi felt a bit relieved. It seemed that the methods she and Song Huaizhi had used had worked.
