Xia Sizhu lowered her head and lightly kissed the side of Dongfang Ye's face, moving her body to get out of bed.
However, he discovered that he had been firmly imprisoned by Dongfang Ye. It took Xia Sizhu quite some effort before she managed to get off the bed.
Xia Sizhu very seriously imitated Dongfang Ye's movements of covering her with a blanket. She used her left hand to cover Dongfang Ye with a blanket.
However, when he looked at the cocoon-like package of Dongfang Ye, he shook his body as if he had seen it before, and the effect was different.
When Dongfang Ye woke up, it was already time to examine the situation.
Dongfang Ye woke up to see it. After seeing the empty room and his empty hands, his breath became ragged. Was it all just a dream?
Could it be because I wanted Zhu too much that I dreamt Zhu would come back? Looking down at the way he was wrapped up, Dongfang Ye felt that he had no way to evaluate him anymore. Who helped him cover this up? So ugly!
When Xia Sizhu pushed open the door and entered, she saw that Dongfang Ye was staring at the blanket that he had covered and his expression had turned bad.
"I was the one who built it for you, wasn't it?" Xia Sizhu put down the things in her hands. On her face was written, "You dare to say that you don't dare to try!"
"Very good!" When Dongfang Ye heard the commotion, he raised his head to look. He saw Xia Sizhu standing at the door with a slight frown on her face. His eyes were filled with surprise and joy. He wasn't dreaming. Ah Zhu really came back.
So it was Ah Zhu who covered it for him. The cover was really beautiful. If he had known earlier that he had not moved, he would have been able to clearly see the shape Ah Zhu had covered it for him!
"You probably haven't eaten for the whole day, so I went to the kitchen to get you some congee. You should rest your stomach first to nourish it.
After you finish eating, go take a bath. I'll return to the Prime Minister's Estate once more! " Xia Sizhu called Dongfang Ye over for dinner.
"Didn't you promise that you would never return to the Prime Minister's Estate and that you would stay in the Prince's Estate?" The sweetness in Dongfang Ye's heart instantly vanished, his face was as cold as an iceberg.
"I did promise you, but you should at least let me go to the Prime Minister's Estate to clean up the place before bidding farewell to Aunt Liu!" Xia Sizhu said as she carried the bowl of porridge out.
"How about I wait for you to finish your bath and go with me? But you wait for me outside the residence!" Seeing the expression on Dongfang Ye's face, Xia Sizhu couldn't help but take a step back.
"Alright, wait for me." Dongfang Ye quickly got out of bed, picked up the congee, and was about to swallow it.
"Slow down." She was afraid that if Dongfang Ye drank too much, it would be bad for his stomach.
The speed at which Dongfang Ye was eating the porridge had indeed slowed down.
"Did Ah Zhu cook this porridge for me?" Dongfang Ye asked while drinking the porridge.
"No!" Xia Sizhu decisively replied.
"It doesn't matter if I don't know how to cook. I was spoiled when I married Ah Zhu, not for cooking."
Dongfang Ye automatically understood that Xia Sizhu didn't know how to cook.
Xia Sizhu raised an eyebrow. Did she say she didn't know how to let him go? She just said no!
"I finished it." After finishing the porridge, Dongfang Ye placed the empty bowl in front of Xia Sizhu.
"Go take a bath after you're done. I'll wait for you in the carriage." After leaving a message to Dongfang Ye, Xia Sizhu turned around and left.
Dongfang Ye's nose dropped. Why was Zhu still treating him like this? What Dongfang Ye didn't know was that, when Xia Sizhu turned around, her lips were slightly raised.
Very quickly, Dongfang Ye got into the carriage with a fresh set of clothes. Ling'er, Sha Xin Gu's heart was still sitting outside the carriage.
Since the three of them weren't the only ones living in the Prime Minister's Estate, they naturally had to move in together. The carriage slowly headed towards the Prime Minister's Estate.
When they arrived at the Prime Minister's Estate, the people outside alighted first, followed by Dongfang Ye and Xia Sizhu.
"Sizhu, are you alright?" Xia Wei and Aunt Liu had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw Xia Sizhu appear, Aunt Liu ran from the gate to Xia Sizhu's side, holding her hand and asking questions.
When she found out what had happened and saw Xia Sizhu's right hand, Aunt Liu's eyes filled with pity for her.
"How did you know I was coming?" Xia Sizhu looked suspiciously at Aunt Liu.
"Night King informed us in advance that you would be coming. He also came for a reason.
You don't have any family here, and you have a father who isn't your father. At the very least, you will be able to enjoy life here in the Duke Palaces. "
When Aunt Liu spoke of Hawaii, her voice was so loud that only she and Xia Sizhu could hear.
"If I leave, then Aunt won't have a companion." Xia Sizhu looked at Aunt Liu, reluctant to part with her.
"It's alright. Auntie and Qing`er will accompany me. Once Auntie succeeds, if I can survive, I'll go and find you to follow. You won't reject me, right?"
Aunt Liu looked at Xia Sizhu with a sincere smile.
"I would despise it if Aunt came too late." The corner of Xia Sizhu's mouth curved into a smile.
She knew that Aunt Liu had figured it out and had no plans to die.
"Let's go clean up the place!" Aunt Liu smiled as she pulled Xia Sizhu by the hand towards the bamboo pavilion.
"Your Highness, this humble subject has a request, please grant it." As soon as Xia Sizhu and Aunt Liu left, Xia Wei greeted Dongfang Ye.
"Speak." There was not a single ripple in Dongfang Ye's eyes.
"Could you not let Xia Sizhu stay in the prince's mansion without getting married? If word of this gets out, it will not be good for Prince Xia Sizhu and this humble subject's reputation." Xia Wei tried his best to find an excuse.
"What's wrong with that? This king does not care, nor does Ah Zhu care.
Dongfang Ye looked at Xia Wei with a measuring gaze. Xia Wei was acting a bit strange today.
"After all, I don't know outside that she is not my biological daughter. Her reputation will be tarnished, and this will affect this humble subject's reputation." Hawaii lowered his head and hid the emotion in his eyes.
"Prime Minister, if you feel embarrassed, you don't have to worry. You can just change your identity to A Zhu's."
Dongfang Ye's gaze was always on Xia Wei, trying to find an opening.
"This... Your Highness, you may decide as you see fit! " After hearing what Dongfang Ye had to say, Xia Wei had nothing to say, so he could only give up.
Dongfang Ye looked at Xia Wei again, and stood beside the carriage with his eyes closed.
Within the pavilion, Aunt Liu said that she wanted to talk to Xia Sizhu, but Xia Si Zhu told Ling'er to help her pack up. Ling'er knew her stuff, so Aunt Liu sent Qing'er to guard the door.
"Sizhu, yesterday when Xia Wei wasn't at the mansion, I wanted to go to his study to check it out, but I found that his study was full of traps. I wasn't prepared for a while, so I was almost discovered."
Esteemed Empress Dowager Liu patted her heart. She still had some lingering fears after all.
Something flashed in Xia Sizhu's mind, and in the blink of an eye, she could no longer remember it. "Aunt Liu, tell me what happened yesterday that made Xia Wei disappear. When did he appear? Can you tell me all the details?"
She had some memory fragments in her head right now, so all she needed was a thread.
Aunt Liu didn't know Xia Sizhu's purpose, but she told her in detail.
