Did that mean that the crown prince had been listening at the door all this time?

Thank you very much for being able to hear it!

Su Zhi rolled her eyes and ignored him. The little girl beside her stared at the marble in his hand, not daring to speak.

Lu Huan Zhi glanced at her and joked, "Eh? After a few days of not seeing each other, the appearance of the small meat bun has changed a lot. "

"This is Big Brother Liu's daughter. She is called Liu Lian, and her name is Qing Qing. She came to Aunt Bai's house to be a guest."

"Hahaha, Durian? This stupid name is really interesting. "

Su Zhi glared at him. There was nothing she could say to him as she walked forward, snatched the marble away and pulled Sister Qing into the house. She did not forget to lock the door behind her.

Lu Huan's face did not change at all, but she continued to smile leisurely. When her gaze turned towards the door of Su Zhi's room, her smile froze.

Not far away, a new house was under construction. Looking at the scale of the foundation, one could tell that it was the Shangguan family's mansion.

With a cold snort, he rode his horse and slowly left.

For the entire day, Su Zhi and Liu Yuan had been taking care of the three children playing together. They didn't say anything unnecessary to each other. It felt good to get along with each other. Although there was no passion to speak of, there was always warmth and serenity.

A Jin took good care of her two little sisters. The three children had never had a quarrel before, and their relationship was very harmonious.

Liu Yuan would steal glances at Su Zhi from time to time. He could not conceal the fondness in his eyes. He tried his best to remain calm, afraid that his hot-bloodedness would scare her.

In his generation, his father only felt the need to study, so he sent him to school for a few days and barely passed the examinations. Even so, he still couldn't change his origin as a farmer.

He had always disliked sour scholars who wrote poetry and pretended to be reserved. If he liked someone, he should have shown off and let her know.

However, when Liu Yuan met someone who was interested in his own business, he became cautious and began to think about other people's business. It seemed that luck was playing with people.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly to himself, looking at Su Zhi with eyes full of love and adoration.

Sensing Liu Yuan's gaze, Su Zhi pretended not to know and looked at the three children lovingly.

It wasn't that she couldn't tell how good a man was. Perhaps Aunt Bai was right, but marriage was something that lasted a lifetime. Even if she wasn't a child, she still had to consider whether or not she really liked this man in front of her.

If you truly want to love, then you can do it. If you truly want to love, then you can't leave.

Through the whole day, although the two of them did not communicate much, Su Zhi was not as conflicted as she had feared before. She got along very easily with Liu Yuan, he was funny and humorous, he did not put on airs, he made a ruckus with the children, he laughed without restraint, regardless of his image, A Jin was no longer afraid of him, the children's faces were brimming with joy.

Autumn was approaching, and night was approaching quickly. After a day of laughing, the two children were tired as well.

Su Zhi bid farewell to Aunt Bai and went back to her room to rest with A Jin and Soybean Pouch.

Before she went to bed, A Jin who was lying on the bed suddenly grabbed Su Zhi's hand. Her small face no longer had a playful smile. "Mother, do you like Uncle Liu?"

Su Zhi could not help but laugh. "Why would A Jin ask this?"

How old is this child? I'm afraid he doesn't even understand the meaning of the word 'like'.

A Jin stubbornly asked, "Does mom like it?"

Su Zhi sighed, kissed the child on the forehead, and replied affectionately, "Mother only loves A Jin and Little Dou Bao."

Hearing this, A Jin's bright eyes were filled with emotions. He held Su Zhi's hand and solemnly said, "A Jin is willing for Uncle Liu to marry mother."

"Then, does A Jin like Uncle Liu?"

A Jin slightly frowned, thinking carefully for a while, then nodded and shook his head.

"If you really want to choose someone to be your father, A Jin loves Uncle Xiao the most."

Su Zhi was startled. She had not expected Xiao Qian to have such a high position in the hearts of the two children. Needless to say, even A Jin liked him so much.

However, she could not do such a thing. Although Xiao Qian had come to find her drunk that day to express his love and admiration, Su Zhi felt that he had done such a foolish thing because he was drunk.

Even if he really did want to, he was a powerful general, and he was just a widow without a director.

She did not dare to think, nor did she dare to hope.

"Mother? What about you? Do you like Uncle Xiao or Uncle Liu? "

Su Zhi smiled bitterly and tidied up the blankets for the two children, but did not say a word.

According to the social situation, she and Liu Yuan were the most compatible. However, according to what she thought, her heart was inclined towards Xiao Qian.

However, she didn't dare to admit that Xiao Qian's identity and status was not something she could entertain. She could only bury her subtle feelings in her heart and never think about them.

A Jin didn't have time to wait for her reply, and gradually fell asleep.

Su Zhi lit the oil lamp and took advantage of her free time to make cloaks for the two children. The weather became increasingly cold, and it was necessary to knit a scarf and hat.

She busied herself under the lamp. After an unknown period of time, there was another knock on the door.

At first, it was just a probe, but Su Zhi didn't pay much attention to it. But soon after, there was another knock on the door. Now, she was sure that someone was knocking on the door.

It's just that it's so late. I wonder who is it that has come?

Su Zhi stood up to open the door. After listening to the commotion outside, she asked, "Who's there so late?"

The noise outside the door stopped. After a moment of silence, someone replied, "It's me."

This sound is... Xiao Qian?

"General?"

"It's me."

Su Zhi suspected that she had misheard him. She opened the door doubtfully and saw that the one standing outside was indeed Xiao Qian, whom she hadn't seen for a few days.

He stood outside the door, shining like the stars and moon. The moonlight was also cold, but his pair of deep eyes were filled with endless thoughts.

This man's charm was that no matter what, he would be able to make people want to submit to him. This man was very scary, because it was unknown where his heart had gone to.

Su Zhi stared at him blankly, a strange feeling in her heart. She blushed slightly and asked, "It's so late, General still hasn't slept."

She did not ask him why he was here. She only asked why he had not rested.

"I... I'm still looking at the ground. "

You can't sleep at night and look for me?

Su Zhi looked behind him. The courtyard was well-built, there was no need to come in the middle of the night, was there?

Xiao Qian looked at her with a sour feeling in his heart.

Tan Zhao told him that if he didn't act quickly, a moment of unrequited love would become a lifetime unrequited love.

Only then did he learn that Liu Yuan had come to visit again. After hesitating for an entire afternoon, he still rushed over without stopping.

Even Tan Zhao could see through his intentions, but he still followed etiquette. He did not dare to come find her, afraid that he would be displeased by Su Zhi like last time.

Forget it, now he didn't care about anything anymore. The woman he liked was about to be taken away by someone else. He did not care about etiquette anymore.

"I came here to talk to you."

He hadn't even started speaking when Su Zhi's face turned red. She didn't know where to put her hands, so she suppressed the small emotions in her heart. She was nervous and sore.

Not waiting for her to blush for too long, Xiao Qian walked up and firmly held her in his arms.

Su Zhi cried out in alarm and quickly covered her mouth to prevent herself from shouting out.

"I'll take you somewhere first."

He carried Su onto the horse, and closed the door behind them. Then, he mounted the horse and hurried towards the hill ahead.

It was late autumn and the night wind was strong.

Afraid that she would get cold, Xiao Qian took off his cloak and tied it around her.

It was Su Zhi's first time riding a horse, so she was not used to it. Fortunately, Xiao Qian was good at riding, which made her feel less bumpy.
