Liang Yuening sat beside her, cautiously glancing at her and staring at her eyes over and over again.

He was quite concerned about why her eyes were red, and her eyelids were a bit swollen.

But upon closely examining the expression on his wife’s face, he saw no sadness or grief, rather a full face of bewilderment, not like someone who had cried from being sad.

He turned back to look at the lit bonfire, thinking he understood.

Guessing it might be the smoke from the bonfire that caused it, he began to feel guilty again.

If he had known, he would have lit the fire himself. Look, the smoke has made his wife cry golden beans.

Liang Yuening was feeling quite distressed and said in a muffled voice, "Those people, I’m not really sure what’s going on. But anyway, they’re definitely from our family."

Dong Huiying: "..."

Speechless.

Liang Yuening, you could be even more carefree, really!

But after a thought.

"Forget it."

After all, she herself is quite carefree too, otherwise, she wouldn’t have waited until now to realize something was wrong.

"Come on, let’s play slingshots!"

She pulled Liang Yuening up, like two big kids, went wild playing in the mountains.

Liu Yan then made the fishing rods, and the two started fishing, then roasted fish over the bonfire, all until the sky was filled with sunset glow, and the two happily headed back home.

...

The carriage entered Dongcui City and stopped outside the Qin family.

Liang Yuening reluctantly climbed down from the carriage, and seeing his unwillingness, Dong Huiying comforted him for quite a while, before Liang Yuening finally walked into the Qin family, turning back every three steps.

And once Liang Yuening left, only Dong Huiying was left in the carriage.

She sat lazily, with plenty of doubts in her mind.

Were the things Ah Lian said true or false?

Maybe false?

But if true, then Qinghe as a person, would be too pitiful.

He’s not the type with clear rights and wrongs, both bad and good are present, unclear at first glance, like a chaotic gray.

She pressed her temple and then absentmindedly touched her eye corner again, and once more, pressed her slightly palpitating chest.

What did those sudden tears mean at that moment?

She pondered over this, with a vague thought in her mind.

She recalled a long time ago.

She had heard an elusive, illusory voice.

That voice seemed to be sighing.

You and I really resemble...

...

"I’m back!"

Dong Huiying jumped down from the carriage.

Only Zhi Chen was at home.

"Hey, where are the others?"

Zhi Chen was sitting by the window feeding pigeons, and upon seeing Dong Huiying come home, he put down the bird food. The man was elegant and composed, cheerful and upright, with eyes full of mesmerizing tenderness.

"You went to find Little Wu today, and Shujun and the others couldn’t sit still, so they went out to take care of things."

"Take care of things?"

Shujun has Huizi Store, Haoming is involved with the black market and the Assassin Alliance behind it, she knew all this and could imagine.

But what about Er Ye?

Er Ye Liang Shuyu is considered idle in the family, normally having nothing to do.

"Ah!"

She snapped her fingers.

"I know it, Shu Yu must have gone to make friends through music again."

She smiled broadly.

Zhi Chen pulled her to sit down.

"How was it, did you have fun today?"

Dong Huiying immediately thought of Qinghe.

She furrowed her brows slightly.

Zhi Chen is very sensitive to this aspect. Or it should be said, apart from Yue Ning and Haoming, the rest in the family are all shrewd people who know her emotional direction inside out, and if there’s any slight change, they will surely notice.
