After the meal, Shen He and Linghua were cleaning up in the kitchen.
Zaoyou obediently finished her meal and left. She also wanted to help, but Shen He refused.
Although Shen He knew that Zaoyou's age should not be judged by appearance, she still felt guilty for letting Zaoyou do the dishes.
So with nothing to do, Zayou had to find a place to sleep.
In the living room, only Ouyang and Xue Lian were left after he asked him to stay.
"Master, are you looking for something from me?"
Xue Lian sat on her seat with some confusion, waiting for Ouyang's answer.
"That's right." Ouyang smiled at Xue Lian, "The previous conversation is actually not over yet."
"I want to ask you, your health has stabilized in the past month or so. What are your plans next?"
"Continue to go to sea with Beidou, stay in Daozhi, or return to Liyue?"
Ouyang's question stunned Xue Lian for a moment.
In the past month or so, she had actually had a lot of free time, but she really had never thought about this problem.
She glanced at the gray sky outside the window and asked instead of answering.
"Speaking of this, the head of the family doesn't seem to be curious about the samurai I fell in love with in Inazuma?"
"The cause of the matter can be said to be this, but now the head of the family has never asked about it. I am a little curious."
That friend of Manyo?
Ouyang was also stunned by the question.
He looked at Xue Lian's condition and said, "Everyone has a soft spot in their heart, and you wanted to commit suicide because of this before. Now things have basically calmed down, so I won't interfere anymore."
"So this is how I would like to thank my master for your consideration." Xue Lian sighed and thanked her.
After saying that, Xue Lian hesitated for a while, and seemed to be organizing her words: "Well, I have been going to sea with my eldest sister these years, and now something like this happened again. Now I think it is better to go home and accompany my children."
"I know that the head of the family had good intentions at the time. Seeing that I was depressed all day long, he hoped that I would change my mood by going to sea, so I am not blaming the head of the family now."
"Now the world has seen it, and Xie Sui said that I still have a long time to live in the future, so I'd better go home."
"The company I had before was too little. I think if I can in the future, I will try my best to accompany him, even if I just watch him from a distance."
Xue Lian's tone was a little lonely, and she obviously knew that evil spirits would not be eliminated, which was always a hidden danger.
So she felt that she might not be able to hug her children in the future.
However, Ouyang comforted him with a smile: "Don't think too much. The problems you have may not be big or small, but the evil spirits will not affect your life."
With that said, Ouyang pointed to the jade pendant on Xue Lian's waist and continued: "This jade pendant can communicate with me remotely. Unless I leave Teyvat, or even if I go to the abyss, I can communicate through it."
It's always there for you."
"And I have set a ban on it. The evil spirit cannot hurt you, let alone the child."
"So you don't have to worry that you can't get along with your kids."
"You can absolutely embrace your new life."
While Ouyang was talking, Xie Sui, who was one with Xue Lian's soul, also silently explained.
"Miss Xue Lian, we are already one, so you don't have to worry about me doing anything bad to you."
"Moreover, I will only stay quietly on the back of your hand. As long as you don't want to hurt anyone, or you take the initiative to mobilize my power, my abyssal power will not leak out at all."
"Please believe me, I will not cause any trouble to your life."
Listening to the explanations from both sides, two lines of hot tears fell on Xue Lian's face.
While wiping her tears, she changed the subject with some embarrassment and said, "The head of the house is laughing at you for asking me this question. Do you have any plans?"
"Well, yes." Ouyang nodded and continued gently, "Now that Kamisato Ayaka is going back, I will go to solve some things tomorrow, and then I want to leave with Shen He."
"Where do you want to go, Master?"
"Originally I wanted to go to Qinglai Island, but since you want to go home, I will take you home first."
"Wouldn't this trouble the head of the family?"
Ouyang smiled and shook his head: "No trouble, just teleport back. It'll be quick."
"On the contrary, since you are back home, you can pay attention to the property at home. If there is anything you like or are willing to do, I can make the decision and let you take care of it."
"Huh?" Xue Lian was stunned again, obviously a little surprised that Ouyang would actually agree to intervene in the family affairs.
She had made similar expressions before, but Ouyang didn't allow it.
After a few times, she also vaguely understood that maybe the owner didn't trust her enough, or something else, and he didn't want her to get involved.
But now Ouyang's change makes her a little puzzled, but it's not easy to ask.
So Xue Lian didn't speak for a while, but just responded silently.
"I, I listen to the head of the family. Whatever you think I can do, I will do it."
Sigh. It seems that I pressed too hard before.
Ouyang felt a little guilty when he saw her like this.
Ouyang has never dared to gamble on the human heart.
He has a clear conscience and promises to hand over the entire family to Gui Chuanyu in the future.
But he was also worried that after Xue Lian intervened, he would think that Ouyang would not pass on the family to his children and do some stupid things secretly.
So when Xue Lian mentioned it several times before, he was vague.
Now Ouyang has looked away.
If there is really internal strife in your family, from a certain perspective, it would be a good thing.
He is a little frightened now when he thinks about what your family has mastered now. Failure is not such a bad thing at all.
Ouyang comforted him nicely: "You don't have to be so careful. I pressed you too hard before, but I'm serious this time. You go home first and get to know the family business while spending some time with your children. Then you
Tell me again what you want to do."
"Thank you, Master, for your trust." Xue Lian smiled again when she heard this.
But after Ouyang's conversation after the meal, she suddenly felt endless longing for her child.
Instead, I started to feel a little impatient.
She asked with some embarrassment: "Previously, the head of the family said that he would have to deal with the rice wife's matters tomorrow. Is there anything unfinished in the rice wife?"
"It's not a big deal." Ouyang thought for a while, but still didn't say it clearly, "The main reason is that I promised someone before. If I don't solve it, someone may jump up and bite me."
As Ouyang spoke, he turned to look at the corner and said in a teasing tone: "Isn't that right? Little fox?"
Silently in the corner, the transparent Yae Shenzi saw that Ouyang directly told him, and turned his head away pretending not to understand.
These days, whenever she gets a chance, she will find ways to get close to Ouyang, looking for opportunities to remind him not to forget what he promised before.
But there was never a chance.
Ouyang was either sleeping or dealing with things before.
As time passed by, she became increasingly anxious.
But it's fine now.
Now that I have received a definite answer, I feel relieved.
After provoking Ouyang with her teeth bared, she immediately rushed towards her bedroom.
Of course, he was caught in the air by Ouyang with a wave of his hand.
"You've provoked me and you still want to run away?"
Ouyang rubbed the little fox's fur with both hands, not polite at all.
"嘤嘤嘤——"
The little fox's struggling cry echoed through the living room, and for a while there was more laughter and laughter in the villa.
