After sending Meng Dong away, Dong Jiafu returned to the room and saw the letter on the couch. She paused but went over to get it.

The envelope was blank, and she took it to the desk and sat down. She couldn't guess what Cui Qiyan would write in it, but what he sent through Meng Dong's hand would definitely not be insignificant words.

Dong Jiafu didn't want to be disturbed anymore, so she put the letter in the middle of a pile of books on the upper left side of the desk, opened the book that Meng Dong had been reading before he came, and continued to read.

When I woke up the next morning, Xia Zhi came in excitedly, "Girl, it's snowing outside."

Dong Jiafu got dressed and opened the window to see large snowflakes falling one after another. There was not much snow on the ground. It seemed that it had just fallen.

"My lady sent Spring Grass to send a message so that the girl doesn't have to brave the snow. My mother will bring breakfast shortly." After Xia Zhi finished speaking, he reminded, "The girl is wearing thin clothes and cannot stay in front of the window for a long time. Be careful of catching a cold."

"Close it." Dong Jiafu withdrew his gaze and turned to wash up in the ear room.

When she came out of it, Guo's mother had already brought breakfast. Dong Jiafu ate a simple meal and returned to the desk to start writing the last storybook.

While reviewing the book materials during the writing process, I accidentally dug out the letter inside.

Dong Jiafu stared at the envelope for a moment, then raised her hand to tear it off, but when she tore a small opening, she suddenly stopped and hesitated to open the envelope.

Reason told her not to read it, but she couldn't help but want to know what was inside.

After a long battle between heaven and man, she still opened the letter.

Familiar handwriting, just a few sentences.

The letter said that the old lady no longer insisted that she keep her promise, that she would not object to their meeting, and that she should not be burdened anymore. He also asked her to meet at a teahouse at [-]:[-] today.

Dong Jiafu put down the letter. She didn't know what Cui Qiyan said to the old lady, and she didn't want to know, let alone meet him.

She looked at the clock and saw that there was still a quarter of an hour before the appointed time. She calmed down and continued to do her thing.

In the afternoon, Dong Jiafu took a light nap. When she woke up, she found that it was completely white outside and the snow was still falling.

He should have left long ago.

It was snowing heavily, and the business in the teahouse was not very good. The waiter kept yawning in front of the counter. When he looked up and saw the man standing upright by the door, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of person was worthy of his wait. He had been waiting for most of the day.

And the guy upstairs...

Thinking of this, the man was so excited that he suddenly woke up and immediately stood up and went upstairs.

Cui Qiyan sat by the window, looking out the window in a trance, letting the cold wind blow on him. Occasionally, snowflakes would float in and fall on the table in front of him, turning into a drop of water within a moment.

"Dong dong dong..." There was a knock on the door.

Cui Qiyan immediately turned his head and showed expectant eyes again, "Come in."

The door opened and the waiter came in with a teapot and said with a smile on his face: "Your tea is getting cold. I'll change it for you with a hot one."

This is already the fifth pot of tea.

"Let it go." Cui Qiyan looked away calmly.

"Sigh." The waiter brought him a new cup of tea and took away the cool cup of tea and the teapot in front of him.

The waiter closed the door softly and tried to make the teapot in his hand almost as heavy as when he brought it. The guests inside didn't even drink such good tea, and they didn't know how long they would have to sit there.

After another half hour, Ji Bai, who was guarding below, couldn't help but run up.

"Your Majesty, it's almost Youshi. Miss Dong will definitely not come. Why don't you go back?"

"Wait a moment." Cui Qiyan looked out the window and said without looking back.

"Yes." Ji Bai had no choice but to go down and guard again.

Sitting at the desk, Dong Jiafu was always restless and wanted to continue writing the storybook, but after so long, she couldn't even fill a page.

Feeling inexplicably irritable, her body reacted faster as she fidgeted. She put down her pen, put on her cloak and walked out.

"Girl, it's still snowing heavily outside, where are you going?" Xia Zhi hurriedly caught up with her.

"Don't ask yet, help me prepare the carriage."

Seeing her anxious expression, Xia Zhi quickly took an umbrella and went out.

After getting on the carriage, Dong Jiafu told the coachman the name of the teahouse.

The wheels squeaked against the snow on the road, and Xia Zhi wondered: "What are you doing at the teahouse at this time?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to take a look."

Dong Jiafu didn't know what was wrong with her. It would be dark in more than half an hour, and Cui Qiyan would definitely not be there. What else was she going to see?

"What is the girl going to see?" Xia Zhi asked for her.

But she couldn't answer. She raised her hand to lift the thick curtain and looked out of the car window.

The teahouse chosen by Cui Qiyan was not far from Dong's mansion. Dong Jiafu did not let the coachman approach, but stopped far away on the opposite side.

Through the car window, Dong Jiafu saw the only open window in the teahouse and the people sitting by the window. Although it was just a faint silhouette, she was sure that it was Cui Qiyan, and he was still waiting.

Cui Qiyan was very alert, Dong Jiafu didn't dare to look more, and she put down the curtain and was confused.

Xia Zhi saw that her expression was wrong and asked, "Girl, do you want to get off the car?"

"No -" Dong Jiafu shook his head.

After a while, Dong Jiafu took out a piece of broken silver and gave it to the coachman and said a few words to him.

After the coachman understood, he took the silver and got out of the carriage.

Soon, the coachman came back and said, "Girl, the matter is done. There are few people on the street, so I found a beggar on the roadside to take care of it."

Dong Jiafu nodded slightly, "Did you tell him to go after a quarter of an hour?"

"I told you again and again."

"That's good, let's go back."

Dong Jiafu didn't know that not long after she left, the beggar who took the money was only thinking about finding a place to eat something hot. He couldn't wait for a quarter of an hour, and soon couldn't hold himself back and rushed into the teahouse.

The waiter at the teahouse looked disgusted when he saw the beggar, and impatiently stepped forward to chase him away, "Go, go, go, this is not a place for a beggar like you, hurry up and leave-"

"I'm looking for the young man upstairs. Someone asked me to bring him a message..." the beggar pointed upward and said.

The waiter frowned and said, "Don't try to deceive me. I won't fall for your trick and let you come in and disturb our distinguished guests. Leave quickly. If you don't leave, I won't be polite!"

"I did not lie to you……"

"What words do you want to bring?" Ji Bai asked suspiciously. At this time, the only guest upstairs was the prince.

The beggar looked back at him and said, "Who are you? I won't tell you. I want to tell the people upstairs by the open window."

The direction was so obvious. Ji Bai looked at the beggar and saw that there was nothing suspicious about him, so he said, "Come with me."

After Ji Bai spoke, the waiter did not dare to stop him anymore and allowed the beggar to follow him upstairs.

Hearing the knock on the door again, Cui Qiyan's eyes had little hope left, and he said in a deep voice: "Come in."
