Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

When Dongkui came out of Tao'er's house, her steps were much lighter and she felt much more relaxed.

She walked across the courtyard and saw Qingfeng drawing water from the well in the distance; his tall figure looked particularly upright in the sunlight.

"Brother Qingfeng, come with me, I have something to tell you."

Dongkui stepped forward and tugged at Qingfeng's sleeve.

Qingfeng was stunned. Before he could even dry his hands, she pulled him toward the new house.

Seeing how anxious Dongkui was, he wondered to himself: What's wrong?

My wife just went to see Tao'er. Did they have a fight?

It wasn't appropriate to call someone "husband" or "wife" in public, and Dongkui felt rather embarrassed. Qingfeng also felt that he was too thick-skinned to deserve such a refined way of addressing someone.

So the two of them had already agreed that it would be more comfortable to call each other by their names on ordinary days.

Of course, when two people are aroused, they can close the door and call out however they want, which is a different matter altogether.

"Dongkui, what's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?"

As soon as Qingfeng entered the room, he immediately asked.

Dongkui turned around, her gaze resolute: "Brother Qingfeng, I've made up my mind. I'll go with you."

Qingfeng paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up.

Although he didn't say it these days, he had a heavy weight on his mind.

His wife and Tao'er have such a good relationship, and those two children, Dongkui takes care of them all day long. Can he really bear to leave them?

He dared not ask, fearing that asking would only put Dongkui in a difficult position.

"Dongkui, have you thought this through?"

That's wonderful!

He held Dongkui's hand, his voice tinged with a thin layer of joy.

"Yes, I've thought it through."

Dongkui nodded and recounted everything Tao'er had told her.

"My little sister Tao'er talked to me today."

She found out about it and then urged me to go with you.

She said that it's never good for a couple to be separated; over time, even the best relationship can easily develop into rifts.

She also said she wasn't planning to go to Jiangnan anymore, but rather somewhere else, and told me not to worry about her.

After listening, Qingfeng remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "Miss Tao'er is a very resourceful and intelligent girl. Since she said that, she must have found a better place to go."

You don't need to worry about her too much; you're just making her worry about you.

"Yes, Peach Girl is much smarter than me."

Dongkui nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with genuine admiration.

"She is very perceptive; she can understand everything clearly."

"In that case, you can rest assured and come with me to the North!"

But my wife is very smart, at least in my eyes.

Of course, you should praise your own wife more.

"Stop flattering me?"

Dongkui gave a coquettish laugh, but her face was full of smiles.

Qingfeng held Dongkui's hand, his palm warm and strong, and his tone became serious, "But the north is bitterly cold, can you handle it?"

But don't worry, if you go there, I definitely won't let you get cold.

"Do you trust me?"

"Qingfeng, I believe you."

Dongkui raised her head, a faint smile on her face, her eyes reflecting the light from the window.

"As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of suffering."

Besides, you're there to protect me.

For some reason, after she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered the shameless nights the two of them had spent together these past few days.

Those scalding breaths, intertwined fingertips, suppressed panting in the darkness…

Two blushes instantly appeared on Dongkui's cheeks, like peach blossoms just beginning to bloom on branches in early spring.

Seeing her like this, Qingfeng's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he felt his mouth go dry.

His gaze fell on her slightly red ear tips, and his heart fluttered. He could no longer resist, so he wrapped his arms around Dongkui's slender waist and pulled her onto the bed.

"Qingfeng...it's daytime now..."

Dongkui hurriedly pushed his chest, her voice as soft as melted candy.

"It's okay, no one saw..."

Qingfeng's voice was low and husky as his lips pressed against her earlobe.

"I've already locked the door."

Outside the door, Xiao Yi, who was about to raise his hand to knock, froze in place.

He had just heard Qingfeng say that he was going north, and Dongkui was going to go with him. He had come to talk to Qingfeng about something.

Before her hand even touched the door, she heard rustling noises coming from inside.

Xiao Yi's lips twitched, and he had no choice but to withdraw his hand and turn to leave.

He shook his head as he walked, thinking to himself that Qingfeng was really outrageous, acting shamelessly in broad daylight!

At least wait until it gets dark...

In broad daylight...

He walked a short distance, then couldn't help but look back at the tightly closed door. He felt a surge of heat throughout his body and headed towards Tao'er's courtyard.

Tao'er was reading medical books inside the house.

Several handwritten books were spread out on the table. Elder Li had lent them to her these past few days, and they were filled with notes on the compatibility and toxicity of various medicinal herbs.

She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't even hear Xiao Yi's footsteps as he entered the room.

"Tao'er," Xiao Yi called out.
