After rebirth, I seduced the abstinent Marquis and became the white moonlight

Chapter 159 Becoming Pen Pals
Less than half a month after the Si family left, Zhao Qiyue and his family also left.

The fact was just as Si Yanran had thought. The two of them were so far apart. Not to mention how difficult it was to meet each other, even sending a letter would take twenty days or even a month. The possibility of having contact again in the future was very slim, so she didn't take Helian Che's words too seriously.

But she didn't expect that a month later, she actually received a letter from Helian Che.

The envelope was thick, with ten pages in it. After receiving it, she hesitated for a moment and decided to open it and take a look.

What surprised her was that although Helian Che looked big and strong, his handwriting was very neat, but not in a delicate way. There was a sense of imposingness between the lines, perhaps it was the unique temperament of a military general.

She read the whole letter carefully and found that he didn't write anything special. It was just about where he had been today, what interesting things he had encountered, or what beautiful things he saw and said he would buy them and give them to her.

Si Yanran couldn't help laughing after seeing this, and she didn't know whether this person was sincere or just bragging.

Anyway, they were so far apart, how could she know whether he bought it or not.

Si Yanran felt that their relationship had not yet reached the point where they could exchange letters, but out of courtesy, since the other person had sent her a letter, she had to at least reply with one.

So she picked up her pen and wrote a letter, which was mostly just some clichés, saying that she had arrived safely in Liangzhou and planned to travel outside the Great Wall in a while.

After sending the letter, Si Yanran set off and it was three months later when she returned.

After returning, the steward of the mansion came to report that two letters from Xirong had been received and presented.

This time, Si Yanran became interested. Her few words were not enough to dissuade Helian Che from writing. She was curious about what he had written next.

This time the two letters are thicker than last time.

After opening the first envelope, a hairpin fell out. The hairpin was of high-quality texture, made of the unique mutton-fat white jade of Xirong. Helian Che said that the scenery of Xirong was also very beautiful and she was welcome to go and see it.

In the second letter, a pair of earrings fell out. As for the content of the letter, it was still about daily life. Si Yanran, who had just returned from a trip, was in a good mood and wrote some interesting stories she encountered while traveling.

Everyone has a desire to share, and she is no exception. Besides, Helian Che's writing is more lifelike, so she doesn't feel too much pressure.

I wrote more and more words, and when I sent it back, it became a thick envelope.

She thought it was just an ordinary communication, but she didn't know that after this letter, the relationship between the two was like opening Pandora's box, heading in a direction she could not have expected.

*
Three years passed, and Si Yanran received a total of forty-five letters. Until three months ago, Helian Che said that the surrounding small countries were invading Xirong and he had to lead the troops to fight. Perhaps he had no way to contact her recently.

There has been no news from him since then.

Without anyone to talk to, Si Yanran felt for the first time how terrible habit is.

A month later, it was Empress Lu’s 60th birthday, and the Si family naturally had to be present.

After three years, Si Yanran returned to the capital again. When she went back, she knew that Helian Che would also go back, after all, Empress Lu was Princess Qiyue's biological mother.

Si Yanran couldn't explain how she felt about Helian Che now, she should consider them as friends.

But all their previous communication was on letter paper, and she was still a little uncomfortable with the sudden meeting now, especially since Helian Che had previously clearly expressed his desire to marry her. Facing the upcoming reunion after a long separation, Si Yanran was both excited and a little nervous.

When she heard the news that Princess Qi Yue and her family had returned to Beijing, she thought that with Helian Che's impatient temper, he would come to find her immediately.

However, three days passed and she didn't see anyone. Instead, she heard rumors that Helian Che was dating another girl.
