Chapter 165 Fear

This night, Xia Hanqiu stayed at Xia's house.

When she was nearly eighteen years old, she slept in the same bed with her mother for the first time in her memory. The feeling of being carefully cared for made her very nostalgic.

In other ways, I have given her this feeling, but it's just family affection, which can't be replaced.

Xia Wei was absent from all the processes of her daughter from childhood to the present. She couldn't wait to understand. One question after another, Xia Hanqiu was not impatient at all. She answered whatever her mother asked. If she was not so happy, she gently took it, and said a few more words about what was happy.

Both mother and daughter want to make up for the missing years. If Xia Hanqiu hadn't been thinking about her mother's body, I'm afraid she would have endless words in the morning.

After pretending to have slept for more than half a quarter of an hour, the person next to the pillow breathed for a long time. Xia Hanqiu opened her eyes and quietly looked at her sleeping face for a long time before quietly getting up. She was tightly tied up and opened the door and walked out by herself.

She didn't know that she thought the person who fell asleep was looking at her back as she walked out with open eyes.

Although she didn't get along well with each other, the mother and daughter were connected. How could Xia Wei not see what was wrong with her daughter? Thinking of the crying during the day today, no matter how worried she was, she could only put it in her heart and always reminded herself that even if she couldn't help her daughter, she would never make trouble.

She doesn't want to disrupt her daughter's life because of her return, and she doesn't want to be a stumbling block for her daughter. If possible, she wants to become a stepping stone for her daughter and help her daughter to go higher, better and more stable.

With a long sigh, Xia Wei closed her eyes again and tried to fall asleep. Just for the sake of her children, she had to take good care of her body, so that they wouldn't have to worry about herself.

Xia Hanqiu, who walked out of the door, did not go far.

Standing under the porch and looking up at the dark sky, even at this hour, it still made her feel gloomy and depressed.

It's not that she's not sleepy, she just doesn't dare to sleep.

The pictures she saw during the day were still in her mind. She tried to drive them out, but even a happy event like today could not calm her down. The occasional flash of her face in front of her was enough to distract her.

She is afraid that these people will fall asleep and enter her dream. If she can't get rid of the dream, where can she escape?

With a flower in front of her eyes, there is already an extra cloak on her shoulder. There is no need to look around. With this familiar smell, she also knows who is coming.

"Why did you come here at this time? You are not afraid of being kicked out as a disciple.

Duan Ziyi held her hand and was very dissatisfied with the cold touch. She couldn't say anything to blame this person, so she had to hold it tightly and warm her with her body temperature. "Is your mother asleep?"

"Um."

Looking left and right, Duan Ziyi asked her, "Where is suitable? Go into the room and talk. It's cool outside.

This courtyard is next to the main house. Ke sent someone to clean it up today and put a lot of thought into it. Even if he moved in for the first time, he didn't feel unpopular.

Xia Hanqiu pulled people into the small hall.

The maid on duty at night was stunned when she saw the two of them coming in hand in hand, and she was stunned and forgot to salute there.

"Bred the boiling water from the pot." Duan Ziyi glanced at the two people and ordered.

The two looked at each other and suppressed the shock in their hearts. One stayed here to wait, and the other went to get water.

The water is ready-made, and it is in the ear room next to it. It was quickly brought over. Just as the two were about to wait, Xia Hanqiu looked up at the two, "Go down. There is no need for anyone to wait here."

The two hesitated for a moment and finally retreated.

Duan Ziyi poured a glass of white water for the two of them, "He warmed his hands."

Xia Hanqiu took it obediently. Thinking of his mother's saying that she can't always have a calm face and try to relax her expression. Don't laugh, at least she can't be sad. "I've put away all two keys and gave them all to me. What should you do when you want to do something?"

"I'm looking for you. Who won't give you the things I saved outside? When I really need anything, will you give them to me?"

Xia Hanqiu raised the corners of her lips and said, "If you make me unhappy one day, or do something wrong to me, what if I take these to avoid you?"

"It may make you unhappy, but it is impossible to do something wrong to you. I still have this little confidence in myself. If I can't control myself so well, how can I have today?" Duan Ziyi touched the raised corners of her mouth and suddenly changed the topic, "Don't you dare to sleep, do you?"

Xia Hanqiu's expression was stiff, he lowered his head, and then gently said kindness.

"I knew it, I should have thought of it during the day." Duan Ziyi blamed himself, "I asked Ge Mu to decoction the medicine. After decoction, he will send it to me, and he can sleep soundly after drinking it."

There is a person who cares so much about you and blames himself for not thinking too much. Xia Hanqiu feels sweet and a little funny. How can he feel that the wall of the Xia family does not seem to exist at all? If you want to, you can come and go if you want to, just go, like entering no man's land.

"Don't worry, I have sent someone out. He will rush to the State of Yan and do his best to save it. No matter what the result is, we have tried our best, haven't we? Don't carry these on your back. We just need to do our best to obey fate.

"I know, but I just can't let it go. It hurts like being forced to think about it."

Duan Ziyi sat next to her and took her into his arms. He said gently, "Close your eyes and rest for a while. If you really want to think about something, think about our marriage."

Xia Hanqiu laughed. She really closed her eyes and thought about it. The warm body temperature of the people around her came continuously. She felt warm. She didn't have to say anything more. Compared with the heavy mood when she left the room, she was much better unconsciously.

"Cough..."

Ge Mu looked at the sky and the earth, and did not dare to look at the two people hugging together, but in this weather, the medicine was going to cool down soon, so he had to risk being cleaned up by the prince to remind them of his arrival.

Duan Ziyi looked at him lightly, "Take it in."

This is almost indiscretion, and it has been looked at. Xia Hanqiu did not dare to look up to Ge Mu, pretending to be careless, but the hand on her leg was twisted into a twist.

Under the warning of the prince's eyes, Germou didn't dare to say a word more. He put down the medicine and left quickly.

Duan Ziyi scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth to test the temperature. "It's just in the mouth, it's not bitter. I drank it in one gulp..."

Xia Hanqiu was not coquettish. Before Duan Ziyi finished her words, she picked up the bowl and drank it all. It was really not bitter, but it didn't taste so good.

Duan Ziyi somehow took out a preserve and stuffed it into her mouth. After chewing a sweet taste, his frowns dissled.

"It's getting late. Go back to your room and sleep."

Xia Hanqiu's hand reacted faster than her brain. She pulled Duan Ziyi's sleeve and didn't let go. She even wondered why it was just a job today instead of getting married! If it is marriage, at this time, the two of them can share the same bed with the same meaning. If they are around, she will feel much more at ease.

Duan Ziyi was stunned first, and then was overjoyed. He turned his mind and said tentatively, "There is still an empty bedroom. If you don't worry about being disliked, I'll be here waiting for you to fall asleep and send you back to your room before leaving."

Xia Hanqiu was convinced that as long as she hugged her, she would not have nightmares. Hearing what he said, she couldn't care about anything. She nodded repeatedly, and her hand holding his sleeve was tighter.

Being so dependent on by the people on the tip of his heart, Duan Ziyi deeply understood how important he was in Qiu'er's heart at this moment. Besides, Qiu'er and I are about to get married now, and it's nothing to be close.

Thinking of this, Duan Ziyi sat closer to Qiuer. He held the person in one hand and covered the two people's cloak with the other hand. He closed tightly, rubbed his head gently against his head, and his heart softened into a puddle of water. "Don't be afraid, go to sleep."

Xia Hanqiu rubbed back contentedly, put his hand around the man's waist, and soon fell asleep.

Duan Ziyi hasn't moved for a long time. He knew that Qiu'er fell asleep and could send people back to the house to sleep comfortably, but he was just reluctant to give up.

The closer you get, the closer you are, the more dissatisfied you feel. He wants to tie people to his side all the time. He usually doesn't have this opportunity at night. Now he finally has it. He just wants to make this moment a little longer.

If only tomorrow was the eighth day of April, Duan Ziyi sighed.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Duan Ziyi thought he was a slow and didn't pay attention to it. It was not until the footsteps stopped at the door and did not come in or leave before he looked over.

"Madam!"

Xia Wei knew that she should be angry. At night, lonely men and women live in the same room. If it spreads out, even if her daughter and this person have been settled, her reputation will be bad.

But she didn't fall asleep at the beginning. She heard the conversation between the two outside the door clearly, knowing why her daughter didn't sleep, and why the man came, she couldn't get angry.

Duan Ziyi looked down at the person in his arms, moved his hand up from his shoulder to cover her ears, and whispered, "I'm sorry, madam, it's my rudeness."

"I'm not that ignorant." Xia Wei sat down opposite the two and looked at her daughter's sleeping face and couldn't help sighing, "What should I do now? Does she have to sleep like this to fall asleep?

Duan Ziyi didn't know how much his mother-in-law-to-be knew, and it was not easy to talk nonsense. He said vaguely, "Qiu'er's sleep is not good. When Qiu'er sleeps better, I'll send her back to her room."

"I know Qiuer's identity. She told me and my sister-in-law."

Duan Ziyi was silent for a moment, "Qiu Er trusts you."

"Yes, trust me as a mother." Xia Wei sighed, and her words were full of heartache. "I don't know what she has suffered, and I don't dare to ask, but... Is there really no way to make her relax? It's too hard for her. I'd rather she bother to get along with her mother-in-law than be tortured like this.

"There is no way. If there was a way, I would have used it long ago." Duan Ziyi smiled bitterly. Since he knew Qiuer's identity, he asked people to investigate a lot of secrets, and even let people sneak into the library of the capital palace. He didn't find much, and occasionally a few mentions were just boastful. In this matter, he had no choice.

Ask nothing, nothing is just a sigh. RS
