“But the situation has changed. I’m afraid you can’t send her back.”

Li Xiao was shocked.

“The emissary sent by the emperor to Chu has already set off. There is not much time left.”

This matter was of great importance, and he could not rely solely on the emissaries of the imperial court.

Moreover, his people going to Chu had different motives from the Emperor’s.

Li Xiao frowned but still nodded.

Liu Wuji glanced at Li Xiao and sighed.

“Let’s set off in three days. Take this time to get along with Yue’er.”

“When the compilation of the Arithmetic Book is completed, 1 will personally send her back to Daishi Village.” Liu Wuji suddenly said.

Time was too tight. He could not wait for the New Year to come and reunite with them.

He was away from the capital for one month when he took the opportunity to send his granddaughter home.

Hearing this, Li Xiao was relieved.

“Yes.” he replied.

Because of last night’s torment, Lin Xiaoyue was not in good spirits today.

When it was almost noon, she was completely relying on her willpower to hold on.

Fortunately, the Imperial Advisor had suddenly arrived.

When everyone saw his arrival, they all stood up and bowed.

The Imperial Advisor got everyone to stand up and walked to Lin Xiaoyue’s side before looking at everyone.

“I have something to discuss with Yue’er. Your class for today will end here.” Liu Wuji said.

“In addition, you’ve all worked hard during this period of time. We’ll rest for three days and continue in three days.”

The moment he said this, everyone looked hesitant, but they all felt relieved.

During this period of time, he had been studying arithmetic every day. After that, he began to compile the relevant content in the Arithmetic Book.

Not only did he not have any free time all day, but his nerves were also tense.

It was good to be able to take a break.

However, wasn’t three days of rest a little too much?

Lin Xiaoyue also turned to look at Liu Wuji.

She knew that Li Xiao had already gone to see her grandfather. Since her grandfather said so, he must have his own plans.

Hence, she agreed.

Seeing this, everyone agreed.

Then, she packed her things and left.

Lin Xiaoyue followed Liu Wuji. Just as they left the room, Li Xiao appeared.

Liu Wuji glanced at Li Xiao. Then, he said, “you will leave in three days. You two can make your own arrangements for the next three days.”

After saying that, he did not say anything else and left.

Lin Xiaoyue was shocked. She looked at Liu Wuji’s back as he left, and then quickly looked at Li Xiao.

Didn’t this fellow say last night that he would only go to Chu in two weeks? How did it become three days?

Li Xiao nodded hesitantly.

Then, he stepped forward and grabbed Lin Xiaoyue’s hand, bringing her back to their room.

When she returned to her room, Lin Xiaoyue was angry.

She threw away Li Xiao’s hand that was holding hers and walked into the house angrily.

Li Xiao hurriedly chased after her.

Then, with a tiger pounce, he controlled the person who was throwing a tantrum on the big bed.

Recalling what happened last night, Lin Xiaoyue’s face turned from anger to embarrassment.

Li Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.

“I only just found out about the change in plans.” Suppressing his restlessness, Li Xiao explained.

“Besides, grandpa also said that after you finish compiling the Arithmetic

Book, he will personally send you back to Daishi Village.”

Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.

“You’re not staying in Daishi Village for the New Year?” She asked.

Didn’t the old master say that he was going back to spend the new year with them?

If he went back with her and stayed in Daishi Village for a month, it wouldn’t be the New Year yet.

“No.” Li Xiao said.

“In the spring after the new year, there might be some movements from Jin.

Grandpa will probably take action.”

Lin Xiaoyue thought of something and didn’t ask further.

“Get up.” Then, she said with a red face.

Li Xiao was stunned.

He suppressed his emotions again before he got up and let go of Lin Xiaoyue.

After gaining her freedom, Lin Xiaoyue finally felt a little more at ease.

She glanced at Li Xiao, who was sitting beside her and didn’t dare to look at her, and Lin Xiaoyue was slightly annoyed.

“I’m hungry.” She then said.

Li Xiao’s nerves seemed to have been triggered in an instant.

“I’ll go to the kitchen to get some food!” He immediately stood up.

Lin Xiaoyue didn’t stop him and happily watched her husband leave.

For the next three days, Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao stayed in the plum garden and did not go out.

As for the Sixth Princess and the others, they wanted to come and disturb her, but the Imperial Advisor said that they were not allowed to come and disturb her.

Thus, the couple spent three days alone.

Li Xiao was rather comfortable, almost forgetting his home.

In fact, he had almost forgotten about going to Chu.

Lin Xiaoyue was in trouble. If it weren’t for her special ability to protect herself, she would have been tortured by Li Xiao until she couldn’t get out of bed.

Of course, most of the reason for this discomfort was because she asked for it…

Happy days were always short.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

With endless longing, Li Xiao finally left..
