Chapter 10 Night Talk

Liao Dong was frightened when he heard that He Beiting was his future uncle.

"But, how come my servant has never heard the girl mention it? My servant has little knowledge, so please don't try to deceive me."

Zhou Sining's lips twitched, how could she tell Lonicera that she didn't remember this before? She only found out about it after the palace banquet was lost for a lifetime.

"Ahem, which girl do you see talking about her fiancé all day long? Besides, your girl used to be in the old capital, so she had to be very careful about what she said and did. She couldn't mention it casually."

Too.

Liao Dong nodded with deep understanding, but then said: "It has been several months since we returned to Beijing, but Prince He has not visited once. And when we were at the He family today, Prince He's attitude towards the girl was also..."

Zhou Sining lowered his eyes and was speechless. He picked up the tea and took a sip before saying: "So, if it's not me who is in Qingshan, then your girl and I will go to Qingshan..."

Honeysuckle:……

Is it okay for my own girl to come to my door in person?

Knock! Knock!

There were two crisp knocks on the window sash.

"Who?" Liandong quickly blocked in front of Zhou Sining, with a nervous look on his face.

"Oh, don't be nervous, it's He Beiting." Zhou Sining patted Lonicera's arm comfortingly, and then stood up to open the window.

Lonicera pulled Zhou Sining and shook her head silently, preventing Zhou Sining from going forward to open the window.

But at this moment, the person outside the window said, "Well, it's me."

Hearing He Beiting's voice clearly, Liandong stepped forward and opened a crack in the window. After truly seeing the person standing outside the window, he turned around and backed away, giving up his seat in front of the window.

"When did you come?" Zhou Sining walked to the window and looked at He Beiting with a crooked smile, "Where are my sesame candies?"

Lonicera silently moved back a few steps, then turned around and retreated outside the house to guard.

He Beiting raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Sining, his eyes were saying, aren't you feeling smart?

Zhou Sining understood it somehow, and said with a pursed lips: "I'm in a bad mood, I feel a little out of sorts. Did you just come here, or have you been there for a while?"

"It's been a while."

Zhou Sining's eyes couldn't help but twitch. Could it be that he had heard everything she said to Lonicera?

"How much have you... listened to what I said to Lonicera?"

He Beiting coughed and said, "Linfeng beside me has good character and good martial arts."

Zhou Sining's eyes widened in astonishment, and she actually... heard it from beginning to end. She didn't know that He Beiting also liked listening to people in the corner, and then her eyelids drooped and her face collapsed.

Seeing Zhou Sining's expression of being unhappy at being watched, He Beiting couldn't help but smile in his eyes, and then said: "What did you mean by what you asked the maid to ask during the day?"

"Oh, I heard that you are going to exterminate your clan and leave the capital alone, so I wanted to confirm the truth with you. Originally, this was the main reason why I came to the palace today, but you were so angry that I forgot about it."

Seeing Zhou Sining raising his hand to close the window, He Beiting quickly took out a brocade box from his arms and handed it over, "This year's birthday gift."

"Oh." Zhou Sining responded lightly, and then raised his head again, looking at He Beiting with bright eyes, "Birthday gift? This year's? In those past years..."

"Well, I just did the math. Where are the gifts for the remaining nine years?"

He Beiting didn't expect Zhou Sining to be so good at grasping the key points, nor did he expect that she would say it so directly. He was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer. He only uttered two words stiffly, "No."

"Why not? You obviously prepare gifts for me every year."

"When did I say that?"

"Well……"

In his previous life, He Beiting said that since she was four years old, all the gifts he prepared for her every year were stored in the secret compartment of his room, including birthday gifts and annual gifts. Year by year, they accumulated to fill a full compartment. At that time,

After hearing this, she looked at the regret on his face, and her heart was full of heartache. She felt bad that he had endured so much alone.

But Zhou Sining couldn't say these things, so he pursed his lips and opened the brocade box. Inside was a shiny and transparent jasper bracelet. Zhou Sining liked it very much, so he took it out and put it on his wrist, and then shook it at He Beiting.

"Does it look good?"

"For this year's New Year's Day gift, I want a jade hairpin. It will be just right for next year's hairpin gift."

He Beiting:......

Can hairpins be given casually? However... the hairpin given by the husband's family in the hairpin ceremony has the meaning of knotting the hair into a bun and staying together forever. Is this what she meant?

He Beiting did not respond or refuse, only looked at Zhou Sining with deep eyes.

Zhou Sining smiled and said: "He Beiting, it's settled, don't let me use my hairpin as a gift next year."

He Beiting glanced at Zhou Sining in a funny way. Will the hairpin given to the dignified lady of the Emperor's Palace be short of hairpins?

If Zhou Sining heard this, she would definitely reply decisively, "I need the hairpin you gave me from He Beiting."

When Lonicera came in again, He Beiting had already left, and Zhou Sining sat at the table, holding his chin in his hands and staring at an extra oil paper bag on the table... in a daze.

Lonicera came forward suspiciously, and was startled when she saw the contents of the oil paper bag. She was also stunned when she took one and put it in her mouth.

Furongfang’s sesame candy.

Or rather, it’s the He family’s homemade sesame candy.

"Girl, this..."

Lonicera originally came to remind her girl that it was getting late and it was time to go inside and rest. But when she saw the sesame candy in the oil paper bag, her thoughts went astray...

"Well, if you want to eat sesame candies in the future, you don't have to go to Shou Furongfang so hard." Zhou Sining looked at the bag of sesame candies and smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes.

"What the girl means...is this homemade by the He family?"

Zhou Sining curled his lips and said, "It doesn't matter whether the He family made it or He Beiting asked the owner of Furongfang to make it separately. Anyway, I can just look for him when I want to eat in the future."

The corner of Rendong's mouth twitched and he thought to himself, Miss He, you really don't regard Prince He as an outsider, but it seems that Prince He doesn't regard you as one of his own.

"Lonicera, pack up and go back to rest. We will continue to the He family tomorrow."

Honeysuckle:……

Are you still going? Girl, the excitement of Second Miss is still going on, don’t you want to add to the excitement?

"What's your expression?" Zhou Sining said: "Don't you need to return the food box? Don't you need to take back the nine-year-old birthday gift he has saved? Besides, I also agreed to go pay my respects to the old lady."

Ling Dong said: "Girl, the old man is still worried about the second young lady. You come in and out of He's house frequently..."

"Can that be the same? He Beiting and I have an engagement, and it's a normal relationship. And not only does my grandfather know about it, but he also wishes that the He family would end the engagement earlier, so that he can have an excuse in front of the emperor."

Ling Dong opened her mouth in astonishment, not knowing what to say. She originally thought that the people the second wife met for Zhou Shuang'an were all children of rich families with matching status. The girl was the eldest daughter's legitimate daughter, even if she did not join the royal family, she would

He must be from a noble family.

The He family and the Zhou family are not a good match now, and she secretly feels that her girl should be matched with the best man in the world.

Although He Shizi's appearance was unparalleled, the cold air that kept strangers away from him was also terrifying. Liao Dong couldn't help but shudder when he thought of He Beiting's cold and biting eyes.

"But girl, I see that Prince He is not very warm to girls..."
