Gu Qiqing excitedly grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's hand and refused to let it go. He pulled her to the couch next to the bed and sat down, still holding the hands of others, looking at her up and down.

Xu Xiaoxiao was a lot thinner than before.

She used to have a fleshy face, with big eyes, always looking weird, but now, her cheeks are a little sunken, and her eyes are still big, but with a haggard look, look. Gu Qiqing's heart is cut.

Her voice couldn't help but choked up: "Xiaoxiao..."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and patted her hand: "Hey, hey, why are my eyes red, are you going to cry?"

"..."

"They will all be married soon, so why are they so childish?"

Hearing her saying this, Gu Qiqing immediately bit her lower lip and said, "You are just childish!"

With that said, she still grabbed Xu Xiaoxiao's hand again, looked at her with red eyes for a long time, and said softly, "You, how are you now?"

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled calmly: "You don't think I have come to see you well, and there is no lack of arms or legs. What's so good?"

"No, I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about—"

Gu Qiqing stopped in the middle of speaking, for fear that mentioning the past would make Xu Xiaoxiao sad.

Seeing her considerate look, Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes were a little more sad, but she still cheered up and smiled and said, "I'm fine, everything is over."

"Xiaoxiao..."

Gu Qiqing knows more or less what "everything is over" means. When she went to the study before, she overheard the conversation between Gu Tingqiu and Si Muyun and learned about the letter Xu Shizong had left before her death. , Cut all his relationship with his family and his wife and daughter.

So now Xu Xiaoxiao is a girl without a father.

Although in this way, the Xu family was saved, it is conceivable how bad this incident has caused. Xu Xiaoxiao and her mother, how sad it is for the widows and orphans left behind, and the situation in the family. How embarrassing.

Especially when she thought that she could not be with her when she was in the most painful time, Gu Qiqing was even more sad.

Gu Qiqing wanted to comfort her, but was afraid that her words would hurt her even more.

Seeing Gu Qiqing’s hesitation in contradiction, Xu Xiaoxiao is so smart, of course knowing what she is worrying about, so she just smiled and said: "Okay, let’s talk about business. I came to see you today and heard about your happy event. It just makes me happy."

"..."

"Speaking of which, I'm a matchmaker."

When mentioning this, Gu Qiqing's face couldn't help but blush.

Xu Xiaoxiao laughed immediately and said, "Oh, blushing. They are all people who are going to be married. Why is the face so thin. In the future, I still hope that his Royal Highness can help the prince well. How can you be like this? ."

If it were past, Gu Qiqing would have been so ashamed that he could not wait to go underground.

But this time, she just blushed, but she was not in a hurry. After a while, she said softly: "I will learn to be a qualified princess."

Xu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at her for a while, then smiled: "The power of loving someone is really great."

"..."

"Can you become so strong."

"..."

"that's nice."

Gu Qiqing said, "What about you?"

"Me? Me what?"

"Do you have such power?"

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that she would ask that. After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "I don't know, I think this kind of power will come from the bottom of my heart if I meet the right person. If I don't meet that person, it won't some."

"..."

"So, I don't force it, nor will I use this power forcibly on the wrong person."

Hearing this, Gu Qiqing was a little shocked.

Too many girls have at most three parts in their lives. They are from their fathers at home and married to their husbands. Perhaps there will be a husband who will die from the child, and the word “cong” will make them lose themselves, even though she is lucky. She is also married, but she married someone she likes, and this marriage was also won by her and him, but because of the word "from", more people have become other people's vassals forever. Lost himself.

But Xu Xiaoxiao did not.

She seemed to insist on only herself all the time, and she had the final say on what she wanted and what she didn't want.

Although Gu Qiqing didn't know where this persistence came from, she could faintly feel that a girl like Xu Xiaoxiao would have a hard life, but she would definitely live very comfortably.

She said softly: "Xiaoxiao, you are such a special girl."

"..."

"I, although I can't fully understand you, I hope you can be happy. It is not the happiness of being married. I always feel that you will find your own way. It may be different from us. I hope you can be here. The road goes smoothly."

Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and narrowed his eyes: "Accept your good words."

"..."

"The mountains and rivers of Yan Country are so big, I will always take the path that belongs to me."

"Mountain and river?"

Hearing this, Gu Qiqing seemed to feel something. Looking at her in surprise, Xu Xiaoxiao said to herself: "This time I am here, first to congratulate you, and second to say goodbye."

"Farewell?"

"Mother and I, this situation is no longer suitable for staying in Beijing. We plan to go back to our hometown. The people in our hometown will be more tolerant. When my mother is settled, I plan to go out and travel."

"Huh? You have to go."

Gu Qiqing looked at her in surprise: "When are you leaving?"

Xu Xiaoxiao said: "Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Then you—"

"I'm here to congratulate you, and also to apologize to you. I'm afraid I can't attend your wedding reception.

Gu Qiqing felt lost for a while, and said softly, "Can't you stay for a while?"

Xu Xiaoxiao's smile was a little bit more reluctant, and he said softly: "Even if I stay for a while, I will not be able to come to your wedding banquet. You-can you understand?"

Gu Qiqing immediately understood what she meant.

Although Xu Shizong had broken away from the Xu family, he couldn't hide the fact that he rebelled. Xu Xiaoxiao was still the daughter of a traitor in the eyes of many people.

Xu Xiaoxiao said: "Even if you don't mind, I do."

"..."

"What's more, this is the wedding of His Royal Highness. I showed up in that place. It's too ugly to say. I don't really care what others say, but father-but he, he is dead. I don't want anyone to be at him. What to say behind him."

"..."

"So, leaving here as soon as possible is a relief for me and him."

Hearing this, Gu Qiqing's heart was cut.

She stretched out her hand to hold Xu Xiaoxiao, choked and said: "Then you promise me, you, you must be good."
