Undoubtedly, Su Nuo liked this kind of life. It was as if this was the place where she was born and lived her entire life. Su Nuo bent her head and looked at Xi Ling. "Ling, we must live here forever." Su Nuo pouted. "Ling."
Xi Ling glanced at him and asked, "What?"
When Su Nuo saw him respond to her, she didn't say anything and just smiled foolishly at Xi Ling. Xi Ling looked at her smiling face and his agitated heart eased up a bit. He said, "You idiot woman, you're so stupid when you smile." Su Nuo didn't refute him and instead laughed even more foolishly.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed through Xi Ling's eyes. He said to Su Nuo, "Idiot woman, go in and cook something good for me. I'm hungry."
"You're hungry." Su Nuo was slightly surprised. They had just finished lunch, but she still stood up from her chair. "Ling, what do you want to eat?" He thought about it and said, "It's spring now, so it's better to eat glutinous rice cake, okay?" As he spoke, he looked at Ye Zichen with a pair of bright eyes.
Xi Ling was stunned. He only saw Su Nuo's black eyes radiating resplendent rays of light as she waved her hand, "Do as you wish." Then he pushed him into the house. The door was closed by the Mausoleum of West.
However, the moment Su Nuo left, Xi Ling's expression turned fierce. "Who is it? Get the hell out here."
Xi Ling frowned when he saw a man appear. With a single glance, he could tell that this man was not someone from Bei Chen Han's group. "Who are you?"
The person handed the letter to him. Xi Ling took it and said, "Esteemed Empress asked me to hand it to you!" Hearing that it was from Bai Qian, Xi Ling didn't say anything and just opened the envelope to read it. The more he read, the more complicated Xi Ling's expression became.
"Tell her I need to think about it." Xi Ling had turned his credit and inner force into a pile of ashes.
The man hesitated, then left. When that person left, Ning Fei walked out from another place. Her dark eyes stared at Xi Ling. "You're not planning to take her with you?"
Xi Ling's expression didn't look too good, especially after seeing Ning Fei, who had been following them for so many days, his face completely darkened. "You don't need to meddle in this father's matters, you pretty boy."
"I'm not interested in your matters, but I will definitely interfere in hers." Ning Fei's words were exceptionally clear.
Xi Ling gritted his teeth. Of course, he knew what this pretty boy was thinking. To be honest, he only tolerated and made him follow him because this pretty boy could not live for long. But at this moment, he could not find any better words to choke off this damned pretty boy.
In the letter, Bai Qian told him to bring this stupid woman away from Beichen Kingdom, away from Beichen Han. He knew the meaning behind the letter, but if he did that, it meant he had to make an enemy out of Beichen Han. It was not that Xi Ling was afraid of Bei Chen Han, but he wanted to become friends with him no matter whether it was the past or the present.
Moreover, even though he rarely made any promises, once he did, he took them extremely seriously.
"Xi Ling, if you don't want to take her away, then I will do so in your place." Ning Fei said.
"Bullshit." Xi Ling suddenly scolded, "I don't need you to meddle in my matters!" Ning Fei didn't say anything. He just silently looked at him, waiting for Xi Ling's answer.
Of course, Xi Ling knew Ning Fei's thoughts. If he really didn't do that, then this damned pretty boy would definitely appear and take that stupid woman away. Even if he had to protect her, he knew that as long as he agreed, this pretty boy would become a complete invisible person in the short time he lived, protecting that stupid woman in the dark.
This pretty boy did not want to make the foolish woman sad.
However, this time, he did not refute her willfully. He only said: "I will protect this foolish woman, but right now, I have yet to think it through clearly. I cannot just bring her away like this."
Because once they left, everything would be different.
Ning Fei stared at him for a long while. Finally, she only said one word, "Alright."
Suddenly, a sound came from inside the house. Ning Fei heard it, and with a flash, he left. Xi Ling could clearly see that Ning Fei had hidden in a big tree opposite of where he was. From there, he could see everything clearly, but because the tree was so dense, they couldn't see it clearly.
"Ling, you can eat now." Su Nuo brought out a plate of steaming glutinous rice cake and placed it in front of Xi Ling. "How is it? It smells good, right?"
Xi Ling looked at Su Nuo and replied. Su Nuo didn't mind. She picked up a piece of cake and blew on it, then placed it next to his mouth. Xi Ling didn't say anything and just started eating.
In her heart of hearts, this life was a dream, but she had achieved it now.
The sunshine in the Village of Longevity was just right. It was simply beautiful.
Su Nuo wanted to walk around the village, so she pulled Xi Ling along, but Xi Ling didn't refuse. Su Nuo looked over and saw that both men and women were eating their food. Su Nuo knew that they were trying to plant a seedling, but she had never done this kind of thing before. She couldn't help but have the urge to try it out. After hesitating for a while, Su Nuo told Xi Ling honestly, "Ling, I want to go down and try it out."
Xi Ling was originally upset, but upon hearing Su Nuo's words, he looked at the black, dirty, and muddy field, and immediately felt disgusted. For someone as obsessed with cleanliness as Xi Ling, this kind of sticky place was like dog shit to him.
Seeing Xi Ling's expression, Su Nuo quickly said, "I'm the one who should go down there by myself. You don't need to go down there."
"No." He could not bear the thought of Suno going to such a disgusting place and sleeping with him at night.
Su Nuo's face instantly collapsed, but she really wanted to try it out.
Xi Ling, of course, saw Su Nuo's disappointment and felt an indescribable discomfort, but he still pulled her forward. However, along the way, Su Nuo was all year round and did not say a single word. In the end, when Xi Ling wanted to bring her to the mountain, Su Nuo said listlessly, "I want to go home." As he said this, he silently returned to his house in Xiling.
Xi Ling looked at Su Nuo's listless back and his face instantly darkened. Damn it, this stupid woman's temper was growing stronger and stronger. It didn't suit her will at all, so she made faces towards him.
"Hey, you idiot woman, if you want to go, then hurry up." Xi Ling said to her back in annoyance.
In an instant, Su Nuo jumped in front of Xi Ling. "Really?" A pair of eyes that was looking at the West Tomb lit up.
"Nonsense, since when did I break my promise?" Xi Ling snappily said.
Su Nuo looked at him and laughed mischievously. Then, she suddenly walked in front of Xi Ling and kissed him. "Ling, I knew you were the best." After saying that, he ran towards a field not too far away.
"Tsk, I'm not a good person." Xiling followed her. Su Nuo happily chatted with the lady in the field for a while before quickly taking back her shoes and socks. Then she rolled up her skirt and pants and happily went down to the ground. Xi Ling pouted and muttered to himself, "What's so good about such a disgusting thing?" However, his eyes showed that Su Nuo was exceptionally happy as she followed her mistress and learnt how to plant the seedlings. She didn't mind the mud that had once landed on her face, but she still smiled brilliantly.
Such a smile was a rare sight to see on Suno's face, no matter the time.
As the sun set in the west, the sky became a magnificent scene. The entire Village of Longevity was enveloped in a faint red glow; it was incredibly beautiful.
"Ling, planting seedlings is really fun." After bidding farewell to the master of the Tian family, Su Nuo began to talk about her happiness like a child.
Xi Ling suddenly remembered that on the way here, he had caught fish with Su Nuo. At that time, that idiot woman would also have a bright smile on her face, just like a child. Xi Ling could not help but think, perhaps an idiot woman following Beichen would not even be able to get this kind of simple happiness. But if that was the case, then why did that idiot woman love him so dearly?
Xi Ling glanced at her, and really wanted to ask Su Nuo, what exactly did she love about Beichen Han that year, but seeing Su Nuo who was happily chatting without stopping, he did not know what to say. The current idiotic woman had long forgotten who Beichen Han was, and was only happy to think that she had always loved Duke Beichen, and was living a good life with him. Thinking about how his Western Tomb had always been a substitute for the Duke of Beichen, he felt very uncomfortable. It was as if something had forcefully gotten stuck, but he could not take it out no matter what.
"Hello." Xi Ling suddenly shouted.
Su Nuo stopped and raised her head to ask, "What's wrong?"
After being asked this question, Xi Ling did not know what to say. In the end, under Su Nuo's gaze, he forcefully said, "I'm fine."
"Oh." Su Nuo agreed. Then, she thought of something and continued talking happily. As she spoke, she unintentionally walked closer to the West Tomb and naturally held its hand.
The weather these days was especially good in Longevity Village. It was unknown whether it was because this was the Village of Longevity or because spring had arrived, but it was still very good.
All the children in the village took their kites and went to play on the hill in groups of twos and threes. From the courtyard, Su Nuo could see the various kinds of kites flying in the sky. They were still very beautiful.
Su Nuo pointed at the sky full of kites. "Mausoleum, look."
Xi Ling was lying under the rocking chair. He lazily turned his head around and gave Su Nuo a look as a response. Su Nuo was slightly dissatisfied, but she pouted her lips and remained silent as she continued to look at her kite.
Bang bang! At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Su Nuo was curious as to why there was someone knocking on the door. None of them knew anyone here! But she went to open the door.
