I came to my senses and said honestly: "Go out and take a walk for a while.??????????

"Don't you tell you not to run around?"

"I know I'm wrong."

He got up and walked slowly to me, looked down at my eyes: "Who did you see when you go out for a walk?"

When I heard this, my heart was thrilled. I looked up at him, then immediately lowered my head, feeling scared.

However, I did not avoid other people knowing about my relationship with Huang Tianba. He has always been aware of it. And I dare not lie in front of him. It seemed that all lies were hidden, so I honestly said: "I met Mr. Huang."

"Oh? What did he ask you for?"

"It's nothing, I'm just a greeting, because I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'll say goodbye to him."

Pei Yuanhao heard this, his slender eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was considering my words, but Huang Tianba did not attack him today, and he withdrew his troops again. The two of them had reached a tacit understanding in their hearts, so he did not ask anything else. After a while, he said, "Since I'm just saying apart, why did I come back so late?"

"I have gone to Jiangnan and want to bring some specialties to the sisters in the palace. It's a pity."

"Oh?" Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows and looked down. I was indeed carrying some paper bags, and a few that were particularly exquisitely packaged. They were desserts from the famous Wanbaozhai in the south, which were not easy to buy in Beijing.

His tone then eased a little, looked at it for a few seconds, and frowned again, "I bought so much, is your money enough?"

"Uh...ah?"

I looked up at him strangely. For some reason, I felt strange when asked, but I couldn't tell what was wrong. I said embarrassedly: "It's enough, I still have some savings for the future--"

For some reason, when I heard me say this, Pei Yuanhao's face became bad and he pushed me away coldly, turned around and walked out.

I stood alone at the door, a little confused.

But at this time I didn't have time to think so much. After packing up the things I bought, I washed up and went to bed early. But maybe because I was about to leave for Beijing tomorrow, I couldn't sleep when I lay on the bed. Many people and many things were rumbling in my mind, so upset that I seemed to have watched shadow plays I had watched when I was a child, and I couldn't calm down.

When I fell asleep in a daze, the white whites of fish were already revealed outside the window. After a while, I was awakened by the movements in the prefecture.

After washing up, I went to the inner courtyard to serve Pei Yuanhao and stood up. After finishing the pack, Yang Yunhui had already brought people to wait outside the prefecture. This time, leaving Yangzhou would be even more powerful than when he went south. Perhaps because he was worried that there would be another accident on the way. Although there were not many officials coming to see him off, the magistrate personally delivered it to the north gate, which was enough for many people to pay attention to it.

Just like when I came, I followed Pei Yuanhao in the same carriage, watching the scenery slowly moving back on both sides. Yangzhou had not yet woken up in the early morning, but the clear fragrance in the air made people feel nostalgic.

When he arrived at the North City Gate, Hong Wenquan came forward respectfully. Pei Yuanhao explained a few things. The guards guarding the city opened the city gate and the convoy drove out swayingly.

I sat by the window, gently chatting with the curtain and looking back.
