She remembered that she was knocked unconscious by poisonous weeds in the forest several times. In her confusion, someone rescued her, but she couldn't see the person's face clearly...
"Xiu, have you come here often before?"
Suddenly an idea floated into her mind.
In the previous life, no one would break into this place, but Ouyang Xiu built a paradise here. The place surrounded by rivers is safe.
Probably he is the only one who can touch the forest of beasts.
So in the past life, could it be him who saved her several times without letting her know?
"Well, I've been here a few times. To be honest, I quite like it here. It's green water and green mountains. It's mainly hidden and not easy to be found. When you want to be quiet, you can be completely quiet. But if I disappear for a while in the house,
Grandpa will not send anyone to look for me even at any time. He knows that when I come here, everything is quiet. I especially like this kind of life where no one disturbs me."
He even planned to move here for a long time several times, so he always kept some rice here.
However, it has been half a year since my last arrival. The food I prepared cannot be eaten.
"Then will you go to the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest every time?"
Dongfang Lian glanced at him.
"Occasionally."
Ouyang Xiu smiled.
"Sure enough...it's you." Dongfang Lian smiled happily.
In fact, she had many interactions with Ouyang Xiu in her previous life, but he was such a forbearing person, especially her identity, which blocked the two of them.
In the end, it was under such unbearable circumstances that he asked her those words. If he proposed to her before Long Qijin... would she marry her...
But at that time, she was silent in response, which must have hurt him deeply.
"Xiu, I'm sorry."
Her tears rolled down her face.
"Good Lian'er, why are you sorry? You didn't harm me. Everything I did for you was done willingly. I even feel happy because I have the opportunity to help you. Unless you don't want to
Give me this chance to be happy."
"how come."
Dongfang Lian had tears in her eyes, but she looked at him with a smile, "Having you in this life is enough, Xiu."
Even if there is no love between the two.
Is love really that important? The love that she doesn't even believe in... is worthless.
…
Due to Dongfang Lian's objection, Ouyang Xiu did not go hunting in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, and the two of them picked some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.
"When I come in the evening, I will bring you a lot of food."
Ouyang Xiu said.
"Well, don't worry. I'm the kind of person who can survive in the wild on his own. So Xiu, if it's inconvenient, don't come to see me often."
She was afraid that others would discover his secret passage. He might actually use this secret passage to escape in the future.
"Hmm. By the way...what if Long Jingkuang comes to find you?"
What does he want to say?
If Long Jingkuang and Dongfang Lian were in a cooperative relationship, then Long Jingkuang would have to give an explanation when Dongfang Lian disappeared from his Taiwei Mansion.
"Tell him the truth selectively. But don't tell him I'm here. You just need to make up some words for him. As for Zuo Xiangfu, let Long Jingkuang do a favor..."
Only Long Jingkuang can help her with this.
Otherwise, the disappearance of her, a legitimate lady, would be a big deal for the Zuo Xiangfu...
…
Prince Jing's Mansion.
Long Jingkuang received the news half an hour after Dongfang Lian left the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
"What? She was actually taken back to the mansion by someone sent by the Seventh Emperor's Uncle?"
