Fu Qing hurried in, and when he saw Dou Lianyi, he was eager to speak. However, the next second he saw Xiao Liuzi still in the room, so he hesitated.

"It's okay, just tell me, Xiao Liuzi is one of our own."

Hearing this, Fu Qing felt relieved. He took out a pink mandarin duck handkerchief from his arms and wanted to hand it to Dou Lianyi.

Dou Lianyi saw the word "Zhi" on the pink Yuanyang handkerchief and raised her eyebrows, but did not take it. There was a hint of disgust in her eyes, "Fu Qing, what are you doing with her things?"

"No, Mr. Qin asked someone to bring it to me. He said that you would be able to use it, mother."

"Master Qin? Qin Mu?"

"Yes, mother, by the way, there is another letter here that Master Qin also told you."

Fu Qing took out another letter from his arms and handed it over with both hands.

When Dou Lianyi heard that Qin Mu gave it to her, Dou Lianyi blinked curiously and subconsciously took it.

There are only a few words in the letter: Miss Dou, this small gift is not respectful.

"He is..."

Dou Lianyi was a little puzzled at first, and then when her eyes fell on the pink mandarin duck handkerchief, an idea passed through her mind.

"Mother?"

In fact, Fu Qing didn't know what was written in the letter. He just saw Dou Lianyi's face change slightly and his eyes became complicated, so he quickly asked with concern.

"What do you think of Master Qin as a person?"

Dou Lianyi did not answer directly. Instead, she raised her eyes to look at Fu Qing and asked softly.

"Master Qin treats people very well and has a gentle temper." Although Fu Qing was a little confused, he responded honestly: "I have never seen him blushing with anyone."

"What about other than that?"

"He is well-read in poetry and books, and is full of knowledge, but he is not one of those old scholars in school. Perhaps because he has been doing business all year round, he knows many strange things, which are often surprising."

Seeing that Fu Qing actually gave Qin Mu such a high evaluation, even Dou Lianyi was a little surprised.

After she pondered for a while, she asked directly: "If that's the case, then you must have a very close relationship with Mr. Qin, right?"

Hearing this, Fu Qing immediately understood what Dou Lianyi meant.

He immediately knelt down, looked up at Dou Lianyi, raised three fingers to swear, and explained eagerly: "That's not the case, mother, I have never disclosed anything in the Prince's Palace to Mr. Qin, let alone What’s more, it’s my mother’s business, I can swear that I have never mentioned it to anyone else!”

"Silly boy, where did you learn to swear to God at every turn?"

Dou Lianyi bent down, pressed down the three fingers that Fu Qing raised, and said helplessly: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that he helped me over and over again, and I obviously didn't follow anything. He talked about it, and he helped me out every time.”

But although Dou Lianyi was doubtful, she never thought of doubting Fu Qing.

"Maybe it's just Mr. Qin who has more tricks, or maybe it's just like mother said, everything is just a coincidence."

Fu Qing put down his finger, looked at Dou Lianyi and responded hesitantly.

"Forget it, since he intends to send this gift to me, I can't waste his kindness."

Dou Lianyi stopped worrying about this issue. For now, it seemed that Qin Mu was a friend rather than an enemy, and that was enough.

"Xiao Liuzi, I want you to find a suitable time to put this handkerchief on Li Ke." Dou Lianyi turned to Xiaoliuzi, handed the handkerchief to him, and explained carefully: "Let him mistakenly think that it is Lu Lianzhi himself. It would be best if you could keep it close to him because of this." "And Fen'er, she must be able to hear something from the second lady these days. I want you to confront her. Get all the evidence about the private exchanges between the second lady and Li Ke."

"Yes, young lady."

Xiao Liuzi responded one by one. When he was about to retreat, he glanced at Dou Lianyi hesitantly and asked cautiously: "Young Madam, can Fen'er follow you in the future?"

Dou Lianyi smiled slightly and said softly: "She is mine, why did I follow her after she came?"

"Thank you young lady!"

Xiao Liuzi responded excitedly, turned around and hurriedly retreated.

After a few days, Dou Lianyi woke up early and saw that the weather outside was sunny. She called Angelica dahurica to wash her hair with sweet-scented osmanthus water.

Then he sat in the courtyard, rolled up his half-dried hair, and dried his hair in the bright sunlight.

Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, bringing the fragrance of osmanthus in the distance.

Seeing that winter is about to come, most of the flowers on the sweet-scented osmanthus trees have fallen off, which suddenly makes people feel sad that everything is withered.

After Dou Lianyi watched for a while, she calculated the time again. Knowing that Lu Shangxuan would pass by this road to see Brother Dong at this time every day, she summoned the warm osmanthus wine that Bai Zhijiang had already placed on the stove. bring here.

"Madam, the wine is here."

Bai Zhi put down the osmanthus wine and retreated at Dou Lianyi's signal, leaving her alone to start pouring the wine for herself.

The servants in the yard were all shunned. While waiting for Lu Shangxuan to come over, Dou Lianyi had already had a small drink.

The aroma of wine and flowers were intoxicating, but Dou Lianyi's eyes were still very clear.

After a while, a sound of footsteps gradually approached.

Dou Lianyi looked up and met the unsuspecting Lu Shangxuan's eyes.

"Want a drink?"

She pursed her lips and smiled, then raised her wine glass and shook it at Lu Shangxuan.

Perhaps it had been too long since he had seen Dou Lianyi smiling at him like this. Lu Shangxuan stopped for some reason. After hesitating for a while, he sat next to Dou Lianyi.

"Why are you so cheerful today?"

Lu Shangxuan reached out and took the osmanthus wine that Dou Lianyi poured for him, with a slight look of doubt on his face.

Seeing that he had no intention of drinking, Dou Lianyi smiled clearly and drank all the osmanthus wine in his glass. Then he supported his chin with one hand and smiled lightly, "Drinking in winter is just to warm up. Why, why don't you drink?" Are you afraid that I’ll poison you?”

Hearing this, Lu Shangxuan forced a smile and responded: "Mother Lian is overthinking it. Why do I miss you so much?"

After saying that, Lu Shangxuan raised his glass and took a sip. Soon there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes, which made him couldn't help but take a few more sips.

"It's really good wine."

"Speaking of this wine, I have to thank one person," Dou Lianyi said casually while refilling his wine glass: "If it weren't for a servant in my sister's yard, we wouldn't be able to drink such a mellow wine. .”

"A servant?"

Lu Shangxuan's curiosity was aroused. He glanced at Dou Lianyi and saw that she had no intention of continuing, so he asked, "What's going on? Where can a servant get such good wine?" ?”
