Su Mujing was so proud that he toasted the guests who came to attend his wedding. Because the emperor and the queen were here, the ministers who came to watch the ceremony did not dare to let go and drink, and they were a little restrained.

So after drinking the wine from the groom, Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing said some blessings to Su Mujing and Liu Shitong, and left.

Su Mujing toasted a circle of wine and took Su Muliang, who had cheated him, to stop the wine without hesitation. He went back to accompany his newlywed wife. Today is his most important day. He doesn't want to waste it on others. He stayed with Shi Tong and enjoyed their wonderful time.

Tang Huizhu also found an excuse in advance to leave, but not long after she walked out of Dingguo Duke's Mansion, she felt that there seemed to be someone following her behind her.

She turned around and saw Xu Zhiyuan silently following her not far behind, looking like she wanted to speak but stopped.

Seeing his entangled look, Tang Huizhu wanted to talk to her, but was worried about something. She didn't get angry, and she accelerated her pace towards the Tang Mansion.

Xu Zhiyuan immediately panicked and couldn't help but shout from behind, "Huizhu, wait a moment, I have something to say to you."

Tang Huizhu ran away directly, regardless of her maids Feng Xue and Feng Yue were still behind her.

She ran to the door of the Tang Mansion like a gust of wind. Xu Zhiyuan finally caught up with her before she entered the door and stopped her directly, "Why do you want to run when you see me? Do you just don't want to see me now?"

Tang Huizhu ran with sweat and her face flushed. Her heartbeats very quickly, covering her heart position. After a while, she recovered and said awkwardly, "I have finished what you should say to you. What else are you saying to me?"

She had made clear what she wanted, but he still had concerns. She was a girl's family and always wanted face. After she said that, Xu Zhiyuan did not express his attitude clearly. Wouldn't she feel embarrassed to meet him during this period?

Although Tang Huizhu thought she was an open-minded person, she did not make it easy to express her feelings. She took the initiative to confess her love but could still treat her as if she had done nothing.

"What do you want to say to me? Didn't you say it very clearly that day?" A heat surged up her face, and she asked, holding back her shyness and embarrassment.

Xu Zhiyuan choked by her sharpness and directly, and he wanted to say that he wanted to continue dating with her.

Tang Huizhu saw his hesitant expression, and her heart was like being stabbed by a needle, and it was bleeding. She had the idea of ​​crying. However, in front of Xu Zhiyuan, she held it back and didn't show any sign of it. She said with a little self-deprecatingly, "You can't get out of the devil in your heart. You are afraid of marriage, and you are afraid that I will become Ji Yingyue after marriage, right? Xu Zhiyuan, you don't have to force yourself so much, and I didn't hold a knife on your neck and ask you to marry me."

Xu Zhiyuan saw a layer of mist gushing in her eyes and panicked. He hurriedly said, "You misunderstood. I didn't say I didn't want to marry you. What I mean is, I want to be with you and continue to develop for a while. If you still like me as you are now, I will ask someone to propose marriage. I will marry you, really."

Tonight he saw the wedding of Su Mujing and Liu Shitong. For some reason, he felt that he was lonely and felt that perhaps the matter of marrying a wife and having children was not as terrifying as he thought.

Tang Huizhu is not Ji Yingyue. What she wants is a warm home and a husband who loves her deeply, rather than a monstrous power.

"Xu Zhiyuan, you don't have to be so forced. Since you are still scared, wait until you completely let go of the shadow that Ji Yingyue brought to you, come and find me again. The marriage I want cannot be far-fetched. By the way, don't come to me during this period. I want to collect herbs. I will not be in the capital for a while. Xu Zhiyuan, I just give you time to think clearly."

As she said, tears gushing up and she choked, "You still can't get out of the shackles in your heart, so I will try to minimize the appearance in front of you and just say goodbye to you."

When Xu Zhiyuan heard that she was leaving for a while, he immediately became anxious, "Where are you going to collect herbs? Tell me what kind of herbs you need, I will find a way to help you get it, why leave the capital? You are a girl's house and you have no relatives to take care of her, so it's very dangerous outside."

Tang Huizhu was very calm, and a firm light burst out from her eyes, "I have decided, you don't have to persuade me anymore. Besides, I have already told the Queen, and she agrees. Mr. Xu, take care of me."

Xu Zhiyuan's head buzzed, and a feeling of irritability surged into his heart. He wanted to say loudly to Tang Huizhu, "Don't leave the capital. I will definitely miss you very much if I can't see you. I actually like you very much, but I can't accept getting married for a while, afraid that everything will change after marriage."

But the cruel reality told him that he was not qualified to tell Tang Huizhu that she would go, she had no relatives and no reason, and he could not force her to tie her around in the name of love.

His face was gloomy, and there was a storm in his eyes. It took a lot of effort to press his heartache into the deepest part of his heart, "Then when will you set out? Where to collect herbs, and how long will it take?"

In her complicated gaze, he couldn't help but feel guilty and explained in a low voice, "I want to send more martial arts maids to follow you so that you can protect you at that time, so that you don't have to be afraid of being bullied."

Seeing that he was at a loss, Tang Huizhu felt that Xu Zhiyuan was a little straightforward and cute like this, and couldn't help but say to him, "The queen has sent many maids to follow me, so she won't encounter any danger. Besides, I have also brought a lot of self-defense poison. If those robbers and thieves are not afraid of death, just try it. Mr. Xu, take care of yourself."

She pushed open the door and walked in. Feng Xue and Feng Yue also went in flexibly. The vermilion gatekeeper Xu Zhiyuan was locked outside and isolated the two worlds.

Xu Zhiyuan felt a strong sense of loss at this moment, as if he had lost something very important and felt empty in his heart.

He returned home in a depressed mood and saw Yang Yaoguang coming to him with full expectations, "How about it, have you sent out the heirloom bracelet that your mother gave you? What did Huizhu say? Have you confessed to her that you like her very much and want her to be by your side forever and never be separated every day in the future."

Xu Zhiyuan said dejectedly, "Mom, before I could send it out, she went into her house. It seemed that she would mind that I resisted getting married. She felt that I was just reluctant to behave, and she might have misunderstood that I was kind to her because I pity her life experience."

Yang Yaoguang looked at his son's expression of regret, and was angry with him. He couldn't help but say, "You're shooting yourself in the foot, you deserve it. Who made you hurt so many women's hearts before? He had always been stubborn and said that he didn't want to get married. Huizhu had no love since she was a child, and she was already inferior and sensitive. You have to use more patience to untie her knots and let her feel safe in you. As a result, you are so good. Can she stand it if you don't want to marry?"

Xu Zhiyuan's narrow and beautiful eyes were full of helplessness, "Mom, Huizhu will soon leave the capital to collect herbs. What should I do? What if she becomes discouraged as time goes by, and it will be too late to wait until then."

"Huizhu is leaving the capital to collect herbs? How long will she go? Will she return to the capital to settle down in the future?" Yang Yaoguang was still watching jokes before, laughing secretly that his son had finally suffered retribution after hurting the hearts of many girls.

She was also anxious now. Huizhu was the candidate of her favorite daughter-in-law. Not only Xu Zhiyuan had a good impression of her, but the whole family liked Huizhu. If it really didn't work, it would be a huge loss for the entire General Weiyuan's mansion.

"She will definitely come back if she wants to collect herbs, otherwise where else can she go. With the emperor and Mu Qing protecting her in the capital, the people from the Tang family dare not bully her, wanting to take advantage of her, but I don't know how long she will go. It's so chaotic outside, she wants to go to the mountains again. What if she encounters a beast or a bandit? Mom, please think of a way for me to not let her leave."

Xu Zhiyuanguang felt a strong reluctance to leave when he thought that Tang Huizhu would leave, and he felt even more worried, afraid that she would encounter danger.

Yang Yaoguang thought for a while and said ruthlessly, "Then it, I'll try to make her stop collecting herbs, let her stay in the capital to accompany me, listen to operas, eat and drink, and help her meet more good friends. You can find ways to show up in front of her more, show off, care for her, and make her get used to your existence. People say that the harsh girl is afraid of gangsters, not to mention that she loves you in her heart, but you resist marriage, making her afraid that after marrying you, you will live a very wronged life, and you are just afraid that you will resent her at that time."

As a mother, Yang Yaoguang is still very clear about his son's temperament. "Zhiyuan, don't tell me that you can't forget Ji Yingyue until now, or she left too much harm in your heart. You resist marriage because you are afraid that Huizhu is like Ji Yingyue at the time. On the surface, it seems to be an understanding Xieyuhua, but it is indeed a terrifying cannibal flower behind the scenes."

Xu Zhiyuan's handsome face showed a hint of embarrassment. He was indeed still in shadow. Ji Yingyue almost killed two sisters, Mu Qing's child was infected with smallpox, and almost destroyed his family. He was really afraid that the women outside the general's mansion would have different thoughts like Ji Yingyue.

Yang Yaoguang looked at him and didn't get angry. "After all, there are few women as cruel as Ji Yingyue. What are you afraid of? Besides, Ji Yingyue is not dead now, and you still think about what's wrong with a dead person? Huizhu is a brilliant pearl, and she is different from Ji Yingyue. Who did you blame for your bad eyes before? Mother and Mu Qing both think Huizhu are good, but you can't believe our eyes?"

Xu Zhiyuan admitted his mistake with a good attitude, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I am not so scared anymore. Give me another month."

"Then quickly admit your love for Huizhu, so that she can feel that you are a trustworthy person. After getting married, you will be better to other girls. If she feels your sincerity and affection, she will no longer resist as much as you are now. Do you perform better for me in the future and remember whether or not."

Yang Yaoguang kicked her son and shook her head, "Go back quickly and continue to Huizhu's house tomorrow. No matter how capable she is, she needs people's love, no matter how strong she is, she needs people's love. Do you understand?"

Xu Zhiyuan remembered everything she said and went back to his yard.

Yang Yaoguang showed a heartache expression, "You two children, it would have been a few years earlier. It's really God's fate to make people."

When will her son get married? When will she be able to hold beautiful and lovely grandchildren?

Yang Yaoguang felt that she was almost crazy. Every time she saw another child in her family, she was so envious that she wanted to carry her child over to raise her.

In the Tang Mansion, Tang Huizhu said to Feng Xue and Feng Yue, "You go pack your things, we will set off tomorrow as soon as the sun is dawn. You don't have to bring a lot of clothes, bring more silver notes, self-defense poisons, and food."

This time she went to collect herbs, and she brought her maids by Xu Muqing. She was very skilled in martial arts and very good at skill. As for Hongyou and Zheng'er, they stayed in the mansion to guard the house and waited for her to come back.

The next morning, before the sky was completely dawn, Tang Huizhu took the maids and rushed to Taohua Town, outside the outskirts of the capital. Halfway through, she suddenly changed her mind and asked the maids to go towards Lingzhou.

Lingzhou is 600 miles away from the capital. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with dense forests and rich products. Of course, the climate is also warm and pleasant. Therefore, there are many medicinal materials growing in the mountains and beautiful scenery. It is not only a good place for collecting herbs, but also a good place for sightseeing.

When Xu Zhiyuan went to the Tang Mansion the next day, he finally stopped being turned away. However, the housekeeper told him that Tang Huizhu had taken her maid to go far to collect herbs, and he didn't know when he would come back.

At this moment, the young man felt a strong panic, about to pass away, and the blood on his face disappeared. He almost grabbed the butler's clothes and asked loudly, "Where has Huizhu been going to collect herbs? Tell me where has she been?"

Didn’t I just said I went to collect herbs yesterday? Why did I leave today and didn’t even have time to give him reaction?

The housekeeper was frightened to death by Xu Zhiyuan, who was furious like a wild beast. He kept shaking his head, "Miss, she only said that she would go far away to collect herbs. He did not tell Lao Nu where he went. He also asked Mr. Xu not to make things difficult for Lao Nu."

Xu Zhiyuan let go of the butler dejectedly. There was red blood in his eyes. When he thought of something, he went directly to the palace and went to Xu Muqing.

"Where has Huizhu been she?" he asked straightforwardly.

Xu Muqing sneered at her brother without hesitation, "Why, I know I'm anxious now? I want to find Huizhu back. Where have you been there for so much time before? I'm still playing with Huizhu for fear of marriage and resisting marriage. Are you the same as those noble girls in the capital who are greedy for our power?"

Xu Zhiyuan ordered the guard beside him, but his heart was so painful that it was almost bleeding.

Huizhu, are you so sad and disappointed with me? You would rather disappear than tell me your whereabouts? I really know that I was wrong and would not deny my feelings anymore. When you come back, I will propose to you. I will find a good day to get married. Is it okay for us to get married?

Only at this moment did he realize that the absurd fears of the past were not worth mentioning in the face of the news of losing Tang Huizhu.

After walking with her for three days, Tang Huizhu's maid finally arrived in Lingzhou City.

Feng Xue and Feng Yue were afraid that it was inconvenient for her to stay in the inn, so they bought a clean and elegant yard with great wealth, allowing her to settle down in Lingzhou City.

"The Empress said that the lady should be pampered in her palm. No matter where she goes, we will take good care of the lady, so that the lady can feel the warmth of home. The silver matter is not a problem at all." Feng Xue said without blinking.

Tang Huizhu was very moved, "I am really worth it in this life. I will never repay the kindness of the emperor and the queen to me in this life. These days, the sun is bright and the climate is warm. We will have a good rest tonight and go to the mountain to collect herbs tomorrow."

Otherwise, she would always think about Xu Zhiyuan's affairs, and the more she thought about it, the more unhappy she would be.

Tang Huizhu lowered her eyes and had made up her mind. Taking advantage of this time she left the capital, she also had to see her feelings clearly. She was grateful to Xu Zhiyuan. Did he pull her when she was desperate and she treated him as a life-saving straw, or did she really love him so much?

She murmured softly, "Xu Zhiyuan, this time I hope you don't let me down."

In the capital, Xu Zhiyuan's guards had already found Tang Huizhu's whereabouts and news. When they were about to tell him, they were intercepted by Xiao Linye and Xu Muqing's people, and completely hid Tang Huizhu's whereabouts.

Xu Muqing learned from the guard that her brother was so anxious that he was almost lost in the past two days. Not only did she not be anxious, she smiled proudly, "Brother, it's not that I'm not kind, but Huizhu sent someone to send a message back, saying that she didn't want you to know her news, and it's not easy for a younger sister to reveal other people's news, right?"

In just over twenty days, Xu Zhiyuan lost his soul and lost his whole body. His beard was unshaven and his eyes were covered with red bloodshot. He was not far from crazy.

When Xiao Linye went to court to see his brother-in-law's insane appearance, he couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy. When he went back, he said to his wife directly, "Mu Qing, otherwise he would better tell your brother Tang Huizhu's whereabouts. He would be crazy if he continued like this."

Xu Muqing held the letter from Tang Huizhu in her hand, half joking and half serious, "Then what can I do? Huizhu said she asked me to keep it a secret. I can't break my promise, right?"

"Then let your subordinates reveal it. This time, Xu Zhiyuan's sincerity has been forced out. He should not be quarrel. If you ask your brother to go to Lingzhou to accompany Tang Huizhu, she will definitely be very happy. She may get married when she comes back." Xiao Linye reacted quickly, and he could easily do such a thing as leaking the news.

Xu Muqing admired Xiao Linye's reaction very much. She exclaimed sincerely, "Husband, you are really born to be the emperor's material. No one can find a reason to say to you when you play this word game. Fortunately, you love me and protect me wholeheartedly. If I were your nemesis, you would definitely be tortured to death by you. You are so awesome."

Xiao Linye pinched her face, "I'm not thinking about your brother's lifelong happiness, okay, you actually arranged me, you must make me happy at night, otherwise you will know the consequences."

After reaching an unanimous decision, Xiao Linye asked his subordinates to deliberately reveal the news about Tang Huizhu in Lingzhou to Xu Zhiyuan. The next moment, Xu Zhiyuan packed up his things like crazy and rushed towards Lingzhou with his guards.

The previous few days were sunny and the wind was beautiful. Tang Huizhu picked a lot of herbal medicines she wanted in the mountains, and her life was both busy and fulfilling, and gradually forgot the troubles that Xu Zhiyuan brought to her.

However, after half a month passed, the sky was poked into a hole and it kept raining. For ten days, heavy rain kept turning the entire Lingzhou City into a landscape in the misty and rainy Jiangnan.

Tang Huizhu was not in a hurry to stay at home. She treated herbal medicine, refined medicine, and read medical books. She lived a very pleasant life. Except for occasionally thinking of Xu Zhiyuan at night, she lived a happy life in Lingzhou City.

After finally clearing up for two days, the long-lost sun was revealed again, bringing warmth.

Feng Xue, Feng Yue and others said excitedly, "Miss, the sky has finally cleared. When will we go to collect herbs and hunt? The pheasants, rabbits and wild boar meat in the mountains are delicious, especially when they are roasted, it is so delicious."

Tang Huizhu was helpless, "Are you here to collect herbs or hunt? Is it really good to love eating meat like this?"

Her maid couldn't help laughing twice and said embarrassedly, "These wild game is so delicious, so I can't help it."

"If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we will go into the mountains to collect herbs. You hunt, get more hares, apply some honey when roasting, and add more chili and cumin. I also like to eat it."

After Tang Huizhu finished speaking, she also laughed embarrassedly.

The maids immediately cheered happily, praising the lady for being too understanding.
