After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

Watching the dusk grow darker, closing time is approaching. Pei Jiaoran clamped his legs on the horse's belly, and finally jumped into the stall before the last sound of the closing drum sounded.

The mud stains splashed by the horses' hooves caused a burst of complaints from the officials.

Hearing the complaints behind him, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and glanced at the official with a smile. Get off the horse and lead the horse forward.

Although the gate is closed, the shop can still open for business. The locust tree facing the street is tied with colorful ribbons, and a string of thin bells is hung on the ribbons. When the night wind blows, it makes a cooling sound.

Passing the horse to the doctor who was waiting for customers in front of the restaurant, Pei Jiaoran stepped into the restaurant. The restaurant was as lively as outside, and she finally found an empty seat. I ordered a bowl of mutton in a basin and a plate of steamed rice cakes.

"Jiajia, you are actually here too."

Pei Jiaoran turned around and looked.

"Aruo?"

"Hey, I didn't expect to meet you." Wei Ruo came over with a happy face, sat down next to Pei Jiaoran, and took a deep breath, "It's really lively outside."

"Are you..." Looking around, Pei Jiaoran hesitated.

"Why bother? It's not like I haven't escaped before, he can't trap me." Looking at the crystal clear flower cakes on the plate, Wei Ruo smiled and poured tea, "I haven't tasted the snacks outside for a long time. , I don’t know if the taste has changed.”

"You." Pei Jiaoran smiled and poked her forehead. After wiping the chopsticks with the handkerchief, he handed it to Wei Ruo. "Whatever you want to eat next time, just send someone out to buy it. Why take such a risk?"

Wei Ruo nodded. Holding the chopsticks, he picked up a piece of rice cake and took a bite.

The two hadn't eaten together for a long time, and they talked a lot during the dinner. Naturally, he didn't notice an acquaintance passing by.

Although screens are set up throughout the restaurant to block the view, people passing by can still take a look inside.

"Qingjia." One person called in surprise.

Hearing the familiar voice, Pei Jiaoran turned his head and said, "Seventeenth Lang."

The person coming was Lu Zheng, and his eyes fell on Wei Ruo, who was desperately covering his face. Looked around, then looked at Pei Jiaoran. He was about to bend down and salute, but she stopped him.

"Since we are lucky enough to meet each other, why not come in and have a drink together?" Pei Jiaoran said with a smile on his face.

Lu Zheng frowned, seeming to be thinking about something. After bowing, he gathered his clothes and sat down. His back was to the door, just enough to block the view outside.

Although the screen beside them blocked the line of sight, it could not block the sound.

Li Xiujing, who had been dragged out of the mansion by his eldest grandson Jigui to drink, was now sitting in front of the screen behind them. The two of them had just arrived, and before they could pour the wine, they heard a familiar voice coming from the other side of the screen.

"Why did you come out? Does Master Lang know?" Lu Zheng asked cautiously.

Wei Ruo shook his head when he heard about it, "Hey, Buddha said it can't be said."

"What do you mean, Master Lang doesn't know?" Lu Zheng suddenly felt a headache and said in a deep voice: "Who is the Jinwu Guard on duty tonight, and why did they let you out? If Master Lang knows this, he will be doomed. "

As soon as Lu Zheng finished speaking, the eldest grandson Jigui on the other side of the screen widened his eyes and stood up.

Glancing around, Pei Jiaoran and Li Xiujing made a silent gesture at the same time.

Realizing that eldest grandson Jigui wanted to go over and see what was going on, Li Xiujing shook her head at him.

Lu Zheng, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, quickly lowered his head. Whisper a confession. He almost exposed Wei Ruo's identity.

Wei Ruo shook his head and continued what he said: "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you. I want to come out on my own. At worst, I will make peace with him."

"Then it's better to say goodbye." Lu Zheng said hurriedly.

"Qingjia, during the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. Can I invite you out to watch the lanterns?" Lu Zheng looked at Pei Jiaoran and said in a deep voice, "My sister-in-law really wants to meet you after she heard about you."

"See me?" Pei Jiaoran asked suspiciously.

When asked, Lu Zheng nodded, "Yes, my sister-in-law admires you very much."

The eldest grandson Jigui on the other side of the screen glanced at Li Xiujing, who had a handsome face, and laughed so hard that he almost fell to the ground.

"You haven't caught the man yet, have you?" Changsun Jigui asked Li Xiujing in military sign language.

When the eldest grandson Ji returned with sideways smiles, Li Xiujing coldly spoke to him in military sign language, "Call your sister out during the Yuan Dynasty."

Both know military sign language. The eldest grandson Jigui looked at Li Xiujing in surprise, after confirming that he had read correctly. He shook his head desperately and replied with gestures. Where can I turn you into a sister?

"I don't care." Li Xiujing gritted her teeth and whispered.

"You are trying to make things difficult for others." Changsun Jigui retorted.

"Not convinced?" Li Xiujing raised an eyebrow, "How about a fight?"

After the words fell, the eldest grandson Jigui rolled up his sleeves and stretched his muscles.

Unexpectedly, he stumbled when he stood up and hit the screen behind him. The screen had been in the restaurant for many years, so it was naturally not very strong.

Seeing the screen fall backwards, Li Xiujing jumped over.

Pei Jiaoran reacted very quickly and pushed Wei Ruo towards Lu Zheng, while he blocked the falling screen with his shoulder.

"Qingjia." Li Xiujing took the lead in calling, and then glanced at the eldest grandson Jigui, "Why don't you help lift up the screen."

Although Pei Jiaoran reacted quickly enough, he was still injured. When she heard Li Xiujing's voice, she shook her head.

Lu Zheng helped Wei Ruo sit aside, but saw a tall and handsome young gentleman already supporting Pei Jiaoran, frowning slightly, "Ms. Qingjia, are you okay? This gentleman is."

"Lu Shiqi, have you forgotten? He is Li Xiujing." Changsun Jigui hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "We played together when we were young."

"It turns out to be Erlang of the Li family." Lu Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the crowd of people watching on the sidelines were cleared of a path. A middle-aged man ran out panting, and held his hands toward Ji with a guilty look on his face.

"The screen has been in disrepair for a long time. I'm really ashamed to have disturbed all of you distinguished guests." The middle-aged man looked at a few people and said in a low voice: "How about this, how about I waive all the expenses for tonight?"

Then there is the boss. "The eldest grandson Jigui agreed to the owner's plan on behalf of several others.

Seeing that there was no excitement to be seen, the crowd of onlookers dispersed.

"Shall I take you back?" Li Xiu asked.

"I remember that the deputy eldest grandson and Ah Ruo are somewhat related by marriage." Pei Jiaoran glanced at the two of them and said softly, "You take Ah Ruo back and send her home at dawn tomorrow. Don't worry, Ah Ruo, I will fine."

She finished. The eldest grandson Jigui nodded, looked at each other with Lu Zheng, and left with Wei Ruo on his left and right.

"Can we go?" Li Xiujing asked again.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran sighed and reluctantly let Li Xiujing carry her to her house.

But after walking for a while, Pei Jiaoran discovered that this road was not the road leading to her house at all. When he was about to jump down, Li Xiujing held his ankle tightly.

"Jiajia, your injury is on your back. It's not convenient for me to give you medicine. I have a maid at home." Li Xiujing walked up and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble." .”

After saying that, Li Xiujing walked to the door and knocked on the door.
