Chapter 160

Du Xiaoli blinked. Did she not wake up and have auditory hallucinations?

"Hehe, it was your elder martial brother who said that your master might come in two days." Han Mingyi looked at Du Xiaoli and couldn't help holding her small face again. "Well, it's time to get up. Everyone is waiting for you!"

Du Xiaoli stared at Han Mingyi, blushed slightly, and said discontentedly, "should you go out before I change my clothes and get up?"

"Ha ha..." Han Mingyi was amused by Du Xiaoli's appearance and went out of the room with a smile.

"You wait for me!" Du Xiaoli muttered a few words, then changed his pajamas, put on his clothes and opened the door. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the door, he saw the people waiting in the sunset.

Han Mingyi waited outside the door. Hearing the sound of opening the door, he turned and saw Du Xiaoli in a simple long dress. He smiled, reached out to her and said, "let's go."

The residual light of the setting sun sprinkled on him. The warm smile bloomed for her. His spirit, his fortitude and his coldness all converged for her. He gave her only this warm feeling. The feeling of waiting for her in the evening is like the return of tired birds and the feeling of silent belonging.

She suddenly smiled. People said that the moon would cause trouble. They never thought that one day, a person would walk into my heart with the sunset.

Looking at the wide palm stretched out in front of her, she gently raised her hand and gave Han Mingyi a sly look. When she was about to put it in his palm, she suddenly hit it hard, then shook off his hand, smiled and turned away.

Now that she has entered her heart, she gambled once. If she won, she would take him with her all her life. If she lost, she would be willing to gamble and admit defeat

When Du Xiaoli came to the front yard, he heard laughter from the living room. Du Xiaoli went in and saw that Bai Ning was far away chatting with the Empress Dowager and made them laugh.

Seeing Bai Ningyuan, Du Xiaoli turned to look at Han Mingyi and asked with his eyes: will you let him know that the Empress Dowager is here?

"He said that he had some research on Gu poison, which may be the starting point, which is one of the reasons why the emperor left him here," Han Mingyi said.

Seeing Du Xiaoli, the Empress Dowager waved to her, asked her to sit beside her and asked, "how was your rest?"

"I can't sleep at night after sleeping until now!" Du Xiaoli replied, then looked at Bai Ningyuan and said, "Bai Ningyuan, have you compensated me for my loss?"

"Ah? Still want to compensate?" Bai Ningyuan stared at Du Xiaoli, looked at Qingchen sitting aside, finally took out a sign from his arms and said, "there's no money. Give this to you."

Du Xiaoli caught the sign and said, "what is this? Can it be used as silver?"

Bai Ningyuan jumped up from his seat and said, "when silver? Do you want to use this as silver? Even if you dare, there is no pawnshop to accept it!"

"What's the use of this for me?" Du Xiaoli looked over the sign and said, "is this more important than silver?"

Bai Ningyuan turned his eyes and said, "in short, you can't lose this or pawn it. When I get the silver, I'll come back!"

Hearing that the redemption would come, Du Xiaoli safely put the sign away, and then said to Qingchen, "elder martial brother, I heard that the master is coming?"

"Yes." Qingchen nodded and said, "the master said he would come with me, but I'm anxious to see the situation here. The master is old and comes slowly behind. It's estimated that he will arrive in two days."

The Empress Dowager went to Du Xiaoli's conversation with Qingchen and asked, "even your master will come out this time?"

"Yes, master, he said he hadn't been out of the valley for a long time, so he wanted to go out and relax this time. He came to see the younger martial sister by the way."

"Well," said the empress dowager, "he hasn't come out of the valley for a long time."

"It has been five or six years," Qingchen said.

"Well, last time the first emperor died and asked him to come out, it's a pity that he went without the first emperor. It seems that he hasn't been out of the valley since then." the Empress Dowager said as if she missed him.

"Yes, Shifu hasn't come out since then." Qingchen said.

Du Xiaoli listened to everyone chatting together for a while, looked at the time, and said, "grandma Han, I'll prepare dinner for you."

"I'll go too." Meng Jiangzhuo got up and said. Recently, she plans to learn more cooking from Du Xiaoli. If she can cook a table for her husband after she gets married, that's good.

Didn't Du Xiaoli say before that if you want to catch a man's heart, you have to catch his stomach first?

Du Xiaoli had been busy before, and she didn't say it. Now that Du Xiaoli had time, she told Du Xiaoli her own ideas.

Du Xiaoli readily agreed when she knew it and wrote her a recipe when she had time. The dishes in it were designed according to the taste of Jiangnan.

Meng Jiangzhuo was surprised when he got the recipe. At the same time, he was also moved. He was not only for Du Xiaoli's heart, but also for her love.

When preparing dinner, Du Xiaoli not only cooked dinner for the empress dowager, but also cooked several small dishes for Qingchen. During dinner, Bai Ningyuan, the first food, ate most of the dishes and ate two bowls of rice, which made Du Xiaoli wonder if he wanted to ask him for living expenses.

After dinner, Meng Jiangzhuo took Du Xiaoli for a walk outside the vineyard. The Empress Dowager looked at a group of young people and smiled and asked Han Mingyi to go out with them. Tonight, the moon hid in the clouds and didn't come out. Meng Jiangzhuo originally planned to take a walk with Du Xiaoli and talk to his heart, but when he saw so many people behind him, he stared at them and went back. Needless to say, Bai Ningyuan directly picked grapes and ate them in his arms. Qingchen said he would play chess with Niujing. They also went back. Finally, Du Xiaoli and Han Mingyi were left for a walk. It was the second time they had walked alone at night. The first time was on the wedding day. Han Mingyi abducted her. They talked for a long time under the moon. Although they came out later, they didn't walk alone in nature like this. At first, they both walked in silence, and no one spoke. Although they were silent, they were gradually warming up. Later, Du Xiaoli broke the silence. "If only they were there," she said. She hadn't seen silver and gold since the Mid Autumn Festival. She really missed them after thinking of being separated for so long. "Can you tell me what happened after I left?" Han Mingyi thought of silver when she was a child, and suddenly wondered what she had experienced in the later time and without him. Du Xiaoli thought about it and slowly talked about the things of that year.
