For the sake of dignity and to prevent the world from complaining, the Queen Mother adopted Dong Wanwan as her adopted daughter, named her Princess Zhaoning, and sent the last descendant of the Dong family out of the territory of the Han Dynasty in the name of marriage.

After Chu Zhijiang learned about this, he was extremely angry. He accelerated his pace overnight and caught up with Gao Wen, meeting up with Gao Wen two days in advance.

Xiao Yu knew why he came, and she didn't plan to see him at the moment. She wanted to let the maid find an excuse to refuse. Unexpectedly, the soldiers outside actually welcomed him in directly.

Xiao Yu turned back to the couch and pretended to be asleep when she was caught by Chu Zhijiang. She turned her back and closed her eyes irritably.

"You go down first."

The three maids responded in unison: "Yes."

When the tent was clear, she straightened up, straightened her clothes and turned around with a smile on her face: "Senior brother."

Chu Zhijiang looked at her intently, dumbfounded: "It's really you!"

"Well, it's me." She answered calmly.

Knowing that there would be a day when they would meet, she was mentally prepared.

"you……"

Chu Zhijiang's eyes flashed and he walked towards her quickly, stopping when he was one step away.

He always restrained himself and returned etiquette, advancing and retreating in a measured manner.

Therefore, Xiao Yu can't dodge at all, and there is no need to dodge.

She did not hesitate and said decisively: "I know what you want to ask. Since I have chosen this path, I will never regret it."

Chu Zhijiang looked unhappy and tried his best to control his temper so as not to scare her.

"Yu'er, listen carefully. I don't want you to repay your kindness. I just want you to live in peace. I have already made arrangements. Someone will send you away at midnight tonight. You can just live your free days."

At the end, Xiao Yu heard his vibrato.

How could she not be moved? Senior brother was very kind to her.

but
She smiled.

"My trip to Rouran this time is not all because of you, senior brother."

Chu Zhijiang didn't believe her words at first, but her expression was too calm and she didn't look like she was lying.

Gradually, he believed her words.

The atmosphere was extremely strange. Xiao Yu walked over and poured water and told him to sit down.

"Senior brother, please sit down and drink a glass of water first. The conditions are simple and we can only use water for tea. When we enter the city, I will take care of my senior brother."

Chu Zhijiang came in a hurry and didn't have time to take off his heavy armor before he came to see her. Only when he reached out to take the water did he realize that Xiao Yu's eyebrows were slightly twisted. "Everyone knows that General Chu is in charge of the three armies. He is very busy on weekdays and naturally does not stick to trivial matters. Could it be that he wears a suit of armor even when eating and sleeping?"

Hearing this, Chu Zhijiang threw the water glass heavily on the table.

"Don't tease me. When I suddenly hear the news about you, I wish I could follow Dou Yun all the way to find you. It's good for you that you still want to avoid me."

This is true.

Xiao Yu knew he was in the wrong, so he smiled sheepishly.

Chu Zhijiang was not really annoyed. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but think of his old days in Jiangning, and he also smiled.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they were back in time.

Chu Zhijiang drank water and cleared his throat, finally soothing his tense spirit.

He patted the table lightly and motioned for Xiao Yu to sit down and talk.

"Grandpa told me that you have changed a lot now, but I still don't believe it. I didn't expect that you have become so eloquent. You are no longer the silent little junior sister."

Xiao Yu smiled awkwardly.

"It's a last resort, senior brother, it's better not to mention this."

Seeing her senior brother, she had to think of another person, so she said it casually.

"By the way, senior brother, I met your wife the day I left Beijing. She was very worried about you and looked forward to your safe return home every day."

Chu Zhijiang was lost in thought for a moment and didn't know what he thought of.

After a moment, he said helplessly: "I am so ashamed that I can neither fulfill my filial piety in front of my grandfather nor go home to reunite with my wife and children..."

He heaved a long sigh.

Xiao Yu understood that he was helpless. There were seniors and juniors, so he had his biggest weakness and could only let others mess around at will.

Fortunately, he thought openly and persisted until now.

Perhaps because he didn't want her to worry too much about him, Chu Zhijiang quickly changed the topic.

"What do you mean by what you just said? Going to Rouran is not all about me...what else is it for?"

"I'm going to see an old friend."

she replied.
