A pass is required to leave the city, but when Hua Zhi handed it to the other party, she didn't take it. She just waved her hand and let them pass. She is the eldest daughter of the Hua family, so who doesn't know her in Yinshan Pass
Hua Zhi thanked him, and immediately mounted her horse after leaving the city gate. She whipped the horse and headed home in the wind and snow.
But even if you are eager to go home, you can't go fast in such weather.
It’s too cold, completely cold.
Gu Yanxi suddenly moved. He half-crouched on the horse's back, and in the surprised eyes of several people, he jumped behind Hua Zhi and controlled the horse before it got scared. "Kick off the stirrup."
Hua Zhi immediately knew what he wanted to do and did it without any hesitation, then flew to Lin Ying's back like a cloud.
The thick, pure black cloak drew her in, and she was instantly surrounded by a familiar scent. The warm temperature behind her attracted her, and Hua Zhi leaned back almost in despair.
Her hands were so stiff that she couldn't hold the reins tightly, and her feet couldn't hold on to the horse. Even if Mr. Lu didn't do this, she wouldn't be able to hold on for long and would have to ask him for help.
Gu Yanxi raised the corners of his lips slightly, and gently hugged Hua Zhi through her cotton coat, and whispered in her ear: "Cover the opening of the cloak, don't let the wind in."
Hua Zhi did as she was told, leaving only her little face exposed.
"drive!"
The wind and snow were blowing in my face and I was still cold, but my hands and feet were slowly warming up. The human body's constant temperature is 37 degrees. Even if two people took off their clothes and hugged each other, the temperature would not reach 38 degrees. But when it is cold, just a hug like this can warm two people.
In the vast snow and wind, Hua Zhi's thoughts were also boundless.
She was not without doubts about Mr. Lu's identity, and her suspicions were further confirmed after he came out this time. However, she could not blame him. Apart from not explaining it verbally, he actually had nothing to hide in front of her, whether it was his familiarity with Yinshan Pass or his nights out, or the cloak he was wearing at this moment. She recognized it as sable fur, which was something that money could not buy, and the person who truly owned it would not sell it.
But Mr. Lu wore this outfit the day after she forced him to buy the previous one. She couldn't deceive herself and say that this was something an ordinary person could do.
In addition to these, there is also his demeanor. She is not blind, so how could she not see that Mr. Lu is not a person who is inferior to others? He is probably a person who is second only to one person and above many others.
But these have nothing to do with her, and she doesn't want to get to the bottom of it.
It would be fine if they just kept it to themselves. When they came to a fork in the road, one of them would go left and the other would go right, and they would have nothing to do with each other anymore.
On the other side, Hua Pingyang invited Shaoyao into the house on the pretext that the old man was coughing.
Shaoyao is naive but not stupid. She is the one who takes care of the old man's body. She knows his physical condition very well and it is impossible for it to relapse in such a short time.
But since she was asked, she went. After all, she was Huahua's friend, and these people were the family members that Huahua cared about!
The old man is waiting in the study.
Poetry and literature were passed down from generation to generation in the Hua family. Even when they were exiled to a remote place, they still set up a study and tried their best to get some books. Some of them were simply copied down by the Hua family members on a daily basis, as a way to practice calligraphy.
Hua Pingyu was waiting with the old man, while everyone else went to work.
Hua Pingyang brought his men in and stood by the door, which was wide open.
Hua Yizheng looked serious and spoke slowly, as if carefully considering each word. "Excuse me, doctor, I want to ask you about my granddaughter's health condition."
Shaoyao's heart skipped a beat. How could they know? Huahua couldn't possibly say it. She hadn't said it...
Brother Yan
Hua Pingyang's words confirmed her guess, "Mr. Lu told me something, so we invited the doctor over to get to know more clearly."
Shaoyao didn't say anything, and because of the curtain, her expression couldn't be seen.
Hua Yizhen had seen countless people, and he saw through Shaoyao when they first met. How could he not know what she was thinking? He did not play any tricks, but sighed deeply, and his tone became more sincere.
"Even though we are thousands of miles away and cannot do anything for her, and even have to hide our heartache in our hearts, we must know what she has done and what she has sacrificed. These are all things we should remember. If there are unfilial descendants of the Hua family who treat her badly in the future, when I break his legs, I can also tell him about the sufferings Zhi'er has endured for the Hua family."
Shaoyao picked at the fingers of her left hand with her right hand, but she actually wanted to put them in her mouth and bite them.
Hua Pingyu stood up and bowed deeply to Shaoyao, "Please tell me, doctor."
Shaoyao jumped as far as she could and said, "I can't tell you. Huahua told me not to talk nonsense to you when she left."
This was equivalent to telling them that Zhi'er had no idea how many things she had hidden from them. All she had said in the past few days were good things, and even if she had said a few bad things, they were all insignificant. It was not that they could not see it, but they were just reluctant to ask more questions.
They just wanted to do whatever the girl wanted, who had tiredness in her eyes but still had a faint smile on her face to reassure them.
"But we already know that she was injured, and it was because of her injury that you met each other." Hua Pingyang slowly guided her, "You just need to tell us how she was injured, the extent of the injury, and how she recovered, and it won't count as a breach of promise."
Shaoyao knew Hua Pingyang's intention, but she really wanted to say that Huahua had done so much and worked so hard, of course she had to let people know. She couldn't say that she was afraid of scaring the women in the Hua family. These were men, and they wouldn't be unable to withstand such a small thing.
"Then you have to pretend you don't know even after you know it."
"Of course, if Zhi'er doesn't want us to know, we'll just pretend we don't know."
Shaoyao immediately opened up and described what happened that night in detail. Although she did not see it with her own eyes, she had heard several people tell her about it in detail, and she could imagine how tragic the scene was.
Standing up and patting herself on a few spots, Shaoyao continued, "Huahua was injured in these places. She protected herself very well and didn't hurt any vital parts. She just lost too much blood. She was afraid that her family would know so she stayed at the manor for a month before returning. Even now she hasn't fully recovered."
Seeing that the three people looked unhappy, she hurriedly added: "Don't worry, there won't be any hidden dangers. I used the best medicinal materials to prepare medicine for her. However, blood and flesh wounds are different. They need to be healed slowly. I will definitely make her body healthy."
As a father, Hua Pingyu bowed to Shaoyao again on behalf of the three people in the study, "Thank you."
"No need, Huahua is my friend, she is very good to me, I will be very good to her too, there is no need to say thank you between her and me."
Hua Yi had his eyes closed the whole time, and no one knew what he was thinking. However, Hua Pingyang noticed that his father, who had never frowned even during exile, was now shaking his hands.
