After the luck of rebirth was taken away, the true and false daughters teamed up

After Li Hong left from Baihua River, he walked for a long time. When he came back, it was already very late.

The Baihua Club, which was originally lively and bustling, has now become cold. There are many fewer people on the street, only a few people and some people packing their things.

Li Hong walked straight into the inn and returned to the room.

……

When Xie Rugu returned to the room, Song Shiyun was still asleep.

After taking a look at the sleeping talisman under her pillow, Xie Ruyi took out the talisman and put it away, lay down next to Song Shiyun, and stretched out his arms to hug Song Shiyun.

Song Shiyun felt his body sink in his sleep, pushed him a little irritably, made an almost inaudible snort, and made no other movements.

Xie Rugu grabbed her hand, hugged her, and looked at the top of Song Shiyun's hair. He didn't know what he was thinking. After a long time, he closed his eyes and fell asleep slowly.

Song Shiyun seemed a little uncomfortable at first, but later, he naturally curled up in Xie Rugu's arms and slept soundly.

I didn't wake up all night.

Early the next morning.

When Song Shiyun woke up, Xie Rugu had already gone out.

She quickly picked up the pillow and saw that the note was still there.

Song Shiyun took out the note and placed it on the unburned candle next to it, and it burned to ashes instantly.

Seeing this, Song Shiyun dusted off his hands and got up to change clothes.

She had packed up and put on clean clothes. Just as she was about to go downstairs, the door was pushed open.

Xie Ru came in from the outside carrying the food as usual.

Seeing that Song Shiyun was already up, he said with some surprise: "Are you awake? I thought you wanted to sleep a little longer."

Song Shiyun stepped over and held up his bun, "I've slept long enough. I have to rush today. I can't sleep anymore. If I sleep too much during the day, I won't be able to sleep at night."

Xie Rugu was about to put down the food. Hearing this, he paused and turned his head to look at Song Shiyun, "Second sister, are you going back today?"

Song Shiyun nodded, "Well, it's been so long since I've been out, everything has been done, and there's nothing lively at the Hundred Flowers Club. Why don't you go back?"

Xie Ru was silent for a moment and nodded: "Yes, then I will go back with my second sister."

Song Shiyun did not refuse and sat down at the table. Suddenly, as if thinking of something, he looked up at Xie Rugu and chuckled: "By the way, Prince Xie, do you have time to accompany me back?"

Xie Ru placed a bowl of porridge in front of her, "I always have time."

Song Shiyun raised his eyebrows, "Didn't the Crown Prince go to Baihua Club yesterday to find his sweetheart? Now, he should be spending time with his sweetheart. How can he have time to return to the capital? Is it possible that the Crown Prince didn't find a suitable sweetheart yesterday? "

Xie Ru paused and suddenly laughed.

"Of course I found it." Xie Rugu sat down next to her, took out a small box and handed it to Song Shiyun, "Here, this is the token of love she gave me. Second sister, why don't you take a look?"

Song Shiyun glanced at the exquisitely carved box and said, "Since it's a token of love, why don't you show it to me?"

Xie Rugu smiled and said: "There is a small portrait of my sweetheart inside. Doesn't the second sister want to meet my sweetheart? Then why not take a look."

Song Shiyun paused and shook his head with a smile.

Seeing this, Xie Rugu couldn't help but ask: "What does the second sister mean by this?"

Song Shiyun glanced at him but said nothing. He reached out to take the box and opened it.

Inside is an elegant lily of the valley hairpin.

On the lid of the box, there is a small mirror, probably provided by the store for people to dress up.

Song Shiyun's eyes fell on it.

Seeing this, Xie Rugu said in a frivolous tone, "Second sister, have you seen my sweetheart?"

Song Shiyun said with disdain: "Prince Xie, your tricks are a bit old-fashioned."

Xie Rugu raised his eyebrows: "Is it old-fashioned?"

Song Shiyun burst out laughing: "My sister Shi Rou, every day she reads [-] out of [-] books written by scholars, and they use this method to defraud wealthy daughters."

When Xie Rugu heard this, he was not embarrassed by being exposed. Instead, he laughed, "Really? That means that although this method is old-fashioned, it is very effective, doesn't it?"

Song Shiyun didn't expect Xie Ru to be so thick-skinned.

Xie Rugu didn't see the disgust in her eyes at all, and deliberately asked: "Second sister, have you seen my sweetheart?"

Song Shiyun smiled helplessly, "I didn't see it."

Hearing this, Xie Rugu picked up the box and pointed the mirror at Song Shiyun, "Isn't this right here?" Song Shiyun looked at his old-fashioned routine and felt embarrassed for him, " Your Majesty, it’s time for you to be more diligent in your methods.”

Xie Rugu smiled: "It doesn't matter, as long as the second sister sees my sweetheart." He asked seriously: "I don't know, the second sister thinks, what does my sweetheart look like? Is he more handsome than Chang'e?"

Song Shiyun: "..."

She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Xie Rugu, "Your Majesty, forget about being thick-skinned. Don't drag me into this."

Xie Rugu smiled softly, "So the second sister also knows that my sweetheart is you?"

Song Shiyun immediately had goosebumps on his arms, and said somewhat speechlessly: "Thank you, Rugu, please speak up!"

Xie Rugu looked innocent, "Aren't I just talking nicely?"

Song Shiyun couldn't help but stare.

Xie Rugu immediately raised his hands in surrender and picked up the hairpin in the box, "Second sister doesn't want it, so don't look at your sweetheart. Take a look at this hairpin."

Song Shiyun glanced at the hairpin and said, "Did you go out to buy it early this morning?"

Xie Rugu nodded, "This is a fine product from Baihua Club. When I came back, I saw it and it looked good, so I brought it back."

As he spoke, he touched the hairpin on Song Shiyun's bun, and then slowly inserted the hairpin into Song Shiyun's bun.

"Well, this hairpin is really pretty."

Song Shiyun took the upper cover and looked through the mirror inside.

Her bun was simple, with no decoration originally, but now a lily of the valley hairpin was added to complement it, making it neither too monotonous nor cumbersome.

It's just right.

"What do you think, second sister?" Xie Rugu asked.

Song Shiyun did not hesitate to praise, "You have good vision."

Xie Rugu curled his lips, took the box in her hand and said, "Second sister, just like it." He then stood up, took Song Shiyun's hand, "Wash your hands and come back for dinner."

Song Shiyun said oh, and walked to the basin stand to wash his hands with Xie Rugu.

After finishing their meal, Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu came out of the room and found Li Hong, who had just finished eating.

Li Hong had eaten too much in the morning and was slumped on a chair in the living room, touching his somewhat bulging belly.

Seeing Song Shiyun and Xie Ru coming over, he quickly straightened up his appearance and stood up, "Little junior sister, are you out?"

Song Shiyun nodded, "We have just finished dinner and plan to return to Beijing."

Li Hong was stunned, "Now?"

Song Shiyun hummed, "Right now, it will take a lot of time to go back all the way. If we leave earlier, we can arrive in the capital earlier."

Li Hong didn't care about this, but he originally thought that it was rare for Song Shiyun and Xie Ru to reconcile before, and now that they were not in the capital, no one knew them, so they could just hang out for a few more days.

Unexpectedly, Song Shiyun and Xie Ru planned to return to Beijing so soon.

But as long as Song Shiyun and Xie Ru were old, he didn't say anything.

Li Hong and Xie Rugu quickly packed their things, and on the way back, Xie Rugu had someone prepare a carriage.

There is no need to hurry on the way back.

He was also afraid that Song Shiyun's body wouldn't be able to bear it.

Song Shiyun looked at the carriage and said nothing.

Li Hong rode a horse and followed beside the carriage. Song Shiyun and Xie Rugu got on the carriage, and the coachman drove the horse.

A few people walked slowly towards the capital.

Along the way, there were stops and starts, Xie Rugu was not in a hurry, and Song Shiyun did not keep stressing the time.

The journey from Xicheng back to the capital took them more than a month, almost two months, before they returned to the capital.

This journey was not very fast, but Li Hong still felt tired.

After entering the gate of the capital, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but stretch, "I'm finally back!"

Song Shiyun was sitting in the carriage, opening the curtain and looking out. When she heard Li Hong's words, she half-smiled and said, "Eldest brother, do you think we are walking too slowly along the way and coming back too late?"

Li Hong waved his hands quickly, "No, I didn't mean that. Slowing down has its advantages, but now that I'm back, I'm definitely happy too." (End of Chapter)
