In the evening, Qi Mu came to the Lou Mansion to pick Lou Huan up, but he found that she was in a daze and looked at Lou Yuzhan in confusion.
"She received news about her mother today, so her mood is not very stable. Seventh Master, please take care of her.”When Lou Yuzhan handed Lou Huan to Qi Mu, he paused for a moment.
Qi Mu naturally understood what Lou Yuzhan meant. He reached out to support Lou Huan and held her in his arms. His cool voice was firm." Third Brother, please rest assured. I will."”
" Third Brother, I will. This is a guarantee." Lou Yuzhan finally felt relieved. He somewhat understood why Huan 'er liked him. This person had the power to make people trust him.
"Huan 'er, I'll leave it to you."
Looking at their carriage that was gradually getting further and further away, Lou Yuzhan pondered. A faint bitterness and gratification surged into his heart. Huan 'er, it seems that you have finally found your lover. It seems that I can really let go...
Do you know that I promised Father and Mother to attend the Fenghua Banquet just to see you and see if you are really as happy as the rumors say? Now that I see that you are well, I can rest assured.
In the carriage, Qi Mu put his arm around Lou Huan's shoulder and rested her head on his shoulder. His cold lips pressed against her forehead as he coaxed her gently," Huan 'er, tell me what happened, okay?"”
" Mother asked Third Brother to bring me a letter. She told me that she's fine and that I don't have to worry. However, I know that she's not fine. She's not fine at all. She's clearly in poor health and can't take the fatigue, but she still spent so much effort making a purse for me…" As she spoke, Lou Huan's tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Stop crying. Why don't we bring Mother to the Imperial Residence to live with us?”Qi Mu looked at her tears and felt as if his heart had been grabbed by someone. He gently kissed away the tears at the corner of her eyes, and his heart ached.
Lou Huan shook her head and bit her lip." It's useless. Ever since I took over Weiyang Restaurant, I've been persuading Mother to leave for so many years, but she always refused.”
"Then once the Fenghua Banquet is over, we'll go to the Lou residence to see Mother. Alright, don't cry anymore.”Qi Mu had never seen such a helpless Lou Huan. Ever since they met, she had always been strong, indifferent, and then powerful, intelligent...
How could he not love Lou Huan like this? How could he let her go…
"Yes, let's go together." Qi Mu's words were like a warm current that slowly soothed the waves and pain in Lou Huan's heart. She still hid a lot of things about today's matter. Some things were better left unsaid.
Mother's everything, Celestial Light Stones, one thing after another…
"Oh right, why did Imperial Father look for you today?”When Lou Huan's heart was no longer in a mess, she calmed down and remembered Qi Mu entering the palace today.
"What else could it be? It's naturally related to Yuehe's marriage. The scale of this Fenghua Banquet was probably even bigger than Yun Chuhan's Allure Banquet back then.”Qi Mu said leisurely as he played with Lou Huan's hair.
"It seems that Empress Zhao has made a heavy bet.”Lou Huan sighed deeply. At this moment, she didn't know whether her suggestion of the Fenghua Banquet to Empress Zhao was a good one or a bad one.
"No matter what, your original intention was to help Yue He.”
"Did Imperial Father say how to choose?"
"There are three stages, but Empress Zhao said that each stage has to be announced before the competition.”Qi Mu's words were light, but the meaning behind them was heavy. It was only announced before the match, which greatly increased the difficulty. After all, there was less preparation time. He pinched Lou Huan's nose and said," Don't waste your time. Have a good rest tonight, understand?"”
Lou Huan furrowed her eyebrows, but she was filled with happiness. She said coquettishly," Yes, my husband."”
Even though Lou Huan had promised Qi Mu that she wouldn't waste her time, she still couldn't rest assured. She instructed Purple Dress to screen the contestants. Those with questionable character and style should be stopped from participating. Although it couldn't have a direct effect, it could still control the quality of the contestants.
However, many years later, when Lou Huan recalled her decision, she still felt a little regretful. If she had continued to pay attention to the contestants and put in more effort, perhaps Yuehe's fate would have changed. This girl, who used to have the clearest eyes and was pure and beautiful, would not have become absurd because of him and an unreachable love.
