    “Mrs. Hou, our wife already had a big quarrel with her husband because she came to the Hou Mansion!” Yin Ye shouted angrily.They were afraid that the Song family would think that Du Yaoyao was unwilling to save her.

    Dulan wiped his tears with a handkerchief, sobbed and apologized, “It’s my aunt who got excited, Yaoyao, you, don’t mind…” His words were still flattering.

    Du Yaoyao could understand Du Lan’s reaction. Now everyone outside knew that Shen Jie was willing to get close to her and pamper her.Du Lan regards himself as the Song family’s only life-saving straw.

    “Cousin, please.” Song Xingkai noticed Du Yaoyao’s rudeness toward him, but remained polite.

    Du Yaoyao took the three sticks of incense from the servant’s hand, knelt on the futon and bowed to Yongninghou, and then took the three sticks to bow to Ruan.

    The last time I came, Mrs. Ruan received her with a smile on her face, but this time we were farewell.Said to be paper figures, Du Yaoyao thought, except for the soul, there is no difference between she and he.

    The same fragile life, struggling on the edge of survival.

    “There is no good food in the house. After my cousin has paid her respects, please go back on your own.” Song Xingkai shooed people aside coldly.

    “Xing Kai, what are you talking about?” Du Lan pulled Du Yaoyao and said flatteringly, “There are crucian carp in the pond at home. I will ask Xing Kai to catch two later, and my aunt will cook them for you.” As he spoke, his eyes filled with tears, “Yao Yao, when you were a child, your favorite was the braised crucian carp soup made by your aunt…”

    Du Yaoyao knew in her heart that Dulan was playing the family card to her. Regardless of whether Dulan asked for it or not, she didn’t want Shen Jie to kill innocent people indiscriminately and cause more evil.

    “Auntie, I will do my best to deal with the Song family’s affairs.” Du Yaoyao comforted her.

    “Okay, okay…” Dulan’s peeling lips grinned, “Our Song family is counting on you, Yaoyao…”

    “Mother, when it comes to the struggle between the government and the party, you can’t force me to do whatever my cousin, a woman, can do.” Song Xingkai said sternly.

    Du Lan burst into tears instantly, “Xing Kai, you are only in your early twenties, so young. Don’t think about yourself, but also think about Lin’er. Lin’er is only three years old. You have the heart to let he follow us…” Du Lan covered his face and cried sadly.

    Du Yaoyao couldn’t be persuaded, and didn’t want to waste time, so she expressed her intention to Song Xingkai, “Cousin, Yaoyao, can I borrow your time for a while? I have a few questions I want to ask you?”

    The helpless movement of Song Xingkai’s lips slightly pursed just now was so familiar to her, it was exactly the same as that person.

    “What’s the problem? Cousin, let’s talk about it here.” Song Xingkai avoided looking at her.

    Du Yaoyao looked around in confusion.

    Dulan understood and suppressed his tears, “Xingkai, take Yaoyao to the back room.” He turned to Du Yaoyao and said, “Yaoyao, what happened to you and Xingkai was all your fault, don’t take it to heart…”

    Duran is really crazy about Xianhao.Du Yaoyao interrupted, “Auntie, it’s over.” She clarified that she had no ulterior motives, “Shen Jie is very good to me now.”

    “That’s good…” Dulan murmured.

    Song Xingkai sighed softly, “Let’s talk in the courtyard.”

    Du Yaoyao followed him to a peach blossom tree.Everyone can see them from a distance.

    “If my cousin asks about the content of the last letter, I have no other answer. I really can’t understand it.” Song Xingkai got straight to the point.

    “How did you know I was going to ask about this letter?” Du Yaoyao grabbed He’s words, “Is there anything special about this letter?”

    “No,” Song Xingkai was startled, “I was worrying too much.”

    Du Yaoyao quietly observed his expression.

    From the moment the two met, he didn’t look directly at her, his eyes were always empty.

    The last time she came over as the original owner, Song Xingkai lightly brushed her in front of Shen Jie.But this time, he’s eyes never fell on her, and he was too deliberate in avoiding suspicion.

    If it were the ancient Song Xingkai, he had rejected his cousin, but he still maintained his pride when he was in trouble and did not ask for mercy from his cousin.

    If it’s Brother Qing, he knows that she is destined to die in the book, so he doesn’t dare to recognize him for fear of implicating her?

    Du Yaoyao probed, “Cousin, do you know that when one person is talking to another person, it is polite to make eye contact.” This is modern etiquette.

    Song Xingkai said calmly: “There are differences between men and women.” He used ancient etiquette to block it.

    “One of my favorite books is “Gone with the Wind”. Scarlett experienced the loss of her family, the loss of her husband after two marriages, the loss of her daughter when she married Rhett Butler, and the breakdown of her marriage. But she only needs to go back to her hometown for one night, and she can stand up strong again tomorrow.”

    Du Yaoyao narrated a passage and said with a smile: “No matter how difficult the danger is, Yaoyao believes that man can defeat nature. Just like my grades plummeted due to the death of my grandma, but later I insisted on studying at night to get into Tsinghua University. If you don’t give up on modern civilization, there will be hope. The efforts of two people are better than one person.”

    She hinted that Song Xingkai should not be afraid of danger and try to return to modern times.

    Song Xingkai was indifferent.

    Du Yaoyao shed tears.

    He spoke slowly, “Cousin, I can’t listen to what you said…”

    “I’m sorry!” Du Yaoyao intercepted He’s words, covered his mouth and cried loudly, “I said something you couldn’t understand again, you think I’m crazy!”

    Everything is a coincidence, she mistakenly admitted the wrong person!

    Sometimes, Du Yaoyao was really confused. Did the trains, planes, and college entrance examinations she had experienced really exist?The longer she stayed in feudal society, the farther and farther away she felt those things were from her.

    Slowly, slowly being domesticated by the patriarchal society here.

    “Madam, madam, why are you crying?” Yinye ran over and hurriedly wiped Du Yaoyao’s tears.

    “It’s okay, it’s okay… let’s go back.” Du Yaoyao was frustrated.Suddenly remembering Shen Jie telling her not to go back, she froze in place and wiped her tears away from her eyes again.

    The world is vast, ancient and modern, and there is no place for her.

    “Daddy, daddy–” A child’s cry came from behind. It was Song Lin calling Song Xingkai.

    “Lin’er, slow down.” Song Xingkai squatted down and hugged Song Lin.

    “Why is the bad woman crying?” Song Lin pointed at Du Yaoyao’s back curiously.

    “Who allowed you to scream?” Song Xingkai slapped Song Lin on the butt, “It’s my cousin.”

    Dulan taught Song Lin bad things in the past, and it was difficult to change him for a while.The child wrinkled his little face and whimpered, “Daddy beat me because I want my mother. When will my mother come back?”

    A three-year-old child doesn’t understand life and death. Song Xingkai didn’t talk to Song Lin, so he replied in the usual way, “Mother has gone out and will be back in a few days.”

    “Dad, no one is playing with me.” The house was deserted, and Song Lin was bored. “Dad, can you tell Lin’er the story of Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf today?”

    Song Lin’s voice was clear, and Du Yaoyao heard “Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf” from a distance, her breath froze, and her steps suddenly stopped.
