Her plan to capture rare talents was ruined. She could only accept her fate and deal with the endless memorials herself.

After being busy every day, Tang Guixi had to write a letter and ask the messenger to bring it to Yu Niaoniao, who was traveling.

In the letter, she cried about her hard work and tried to use the ruse of self-injury to move Yu Niaoniao and lure her back to share the government affairs with her.

Unfortunately, Yu Niaoniao was heartless. Not only was she not moved, but she also did not want to return to Xingning.

Perhaps the heavens were really looking out for Eastern Tang. Over the past year, the weather in Eastern Tang had been smooth and the crops in the fields had grown gratifyingly. During the autumn harvest, there were even more fruits.

In the carriage, Yu Niaoniao looked at the large golden wheat fields outside the car window and was very happy.

At this moment, Little Fubao was already asleep. Xiao Juan placed her on the soft cushion and gently covered her with a soft blanket.

He looked up at the side of her face and hesitated for a moment. In the end, he took the silver earring out of his sleeve.

Shen Zhuo had given it to him before he left and asked him to pass it to Niaoniao.

He felt awkward and had never taken it out.

But he knew very well that he would have to face this sooner or later. If he kept hiding it, it would only make the knot in his heart grow.

“This is yours, right? I’ll return it to you.”

Yu Niaoniao turned around and looked at the silver earring in his hand in surprise. “Why is it with you?”

Xiao Juan pursed his thin lips. “Shen Zhuo asked me to give it to you. He also said that your parents’ graves are still in place. You can go back and visit them anytime.”

Yu Niaoniao reached out and took the silver earring. “This is indeed mine.”

Xiao Juan’s heart tightened, and his fingers subconsciously curled up.

Did she still care about Shen Zhuo?

Then, he saw Yu Niaoniao raise her hand and throw the silver earring out of the car window.

The small silver earring drew a parabola in the air and silently fell into the wheat field, completely disappearing.

Xiao Juan was stunned. “What are you doing?”

Yu Niaoniao clapped her hands with a relaxed expression. “That earring was originally a pair. Now that there’s only one left, it’s useless for me to keep it. I might as well discard it.”

Xiao Juan’s Adam’s apple moved, and his curled fingers slowly relaxed. “Can’t you bear to?”

Yu Niaoniao smiled. “It’s just an earring. If I like it, I can buy it again anytime.

What’s there to be reluctant about?”

Hearing this, Xiao Juan finally relaxed completely.

He took off the pouch at his waist and handed it to her. “It’s all for you. You can buy as many earrings as you want.”

Yu Niaoniao’s smile widened, and her eyes were as bright as the sun.

“You said it.”

Xiao Juan smiled too. “Yes, I said so.” “Don’t feel sorry if I spend all your money later.” “As long as you’re happy, anything is fine.”

“Xiao MO Zhu, I realize that you’re getting better at talking.”

“I’m telling the truth.”

“Then I have to be honest with you. Actually, I’m hiding a secret. Do you want to know?”

‘Yes, 1 do.”

“I can’t tell you yet. When we’re old and can’t walk anymore and we’re about to die, I’ll tell you what that secret is.”

“Alright, as you wish.”

The couple got used to saying meaningless things every day.

The carriage swayed gently, and the golden wheat waves in the fields rolled with the wind.

A warm breeze blew into the carriage. The sun was bright and warm.

Little Fubao, who was sleeping soundly, dreamed of something. She smacked her lips and her small face was filled with a sweet smile.

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan’s voices gradually lowered.

They sat next to each other and quietly looked out the window at the gradually setting sun.

Xiao Juan suddenly took out something and stuffed it into Yu Niaoniao’s hand.

“It’s for you.”

Yu Niaoniao looked down and realized that it was a square jade pendant. There was an auspicious beast totem engraved on it and a green silk ribbon below.

She immediately recognized it. “Isn’t this the jade pendant you accidentally lost back then?”

Xiao Juan nodded. “Yes.”

Back then, he had accidentally lost the jade pendant at the palace banquet. Yu Niaoniao had picked it up and wanted to sell it for money, causing a series of ridiculous rumors.

It was also because of this that Xiao Juan could possibly know Niaoniao.

Yu Niaoniao laughed. “This jade pendant can be considered our matchmaker. I have to cherish it.”

Xiao Juan also smiled.

Yu Niaoniao put the jade pendant into her pocket. “If there’s a next life, let’s rely on this jade pendant to acknowledge each other.”

These words made no sense. How could they still hold the same jade pendant after reincarnation?

However, Xiao Juan did not care about this. He replied seriously, “Okay.”

Yu Niaoniao extended her pinky. “Pinky promise.”

Xiao Juan obediently extended his pinky and twined it with hers, shaking it up and down.

He knew he couldn’t be so greedy. He should be satisfied with Niaoniao for the rest of this life, but he couldn’t help but pray that he could still be with her in his next life.

They would never be separated.

-The End-
