How was I so unclear before?

Yes, it was obvious that Xiao Fengyun was full of loopholes, so how could she never have noticed?

"Perhaps, I was blinded by emotion in the past." Yu Qingwu slowly sat down and sighed softly.

Yes, in the past, she seemed to believe in Xiao Fengyun in an extremely emotional way.

But now that she thinks about it, she was so stupid at that time, yet she still thought she was very smart.

It is said that once you like someone, it is easy to become irrational.

In the past, Yu Qingwu always looked down on people who disregarded everything for the sake of love.

But thinking back, she seemed to be that kind of person at the beginning. If it weren't for the family feud she carried, perhaps she would never have seen Xiao Fengyun's true face in her life.

Looking sideways at Xie Jin Yan with a smile, Qingwu couldn't help but sigh again, "Fortunately, I woke up early enough, so I didn't have to sacrifice my whole life."

"Then, Senior Sister, are you clear-headed now?" Yu Qingwu was still immersed in her thoughts when the person opposite her suddenly asked this question out of the blue.

Yu Qingwu was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Xie Jin Yan meant.

But the next moment, meeting his smiling and questioning eyes, she suddenly came back to her senses.

This man is asking her if she is clear-headed being with him at this moment?

For a time, Yu Qingwu was a little choked up.

She looked at Xie Jin Yan with a complicated expression, stammering, "Your Highness..., people always become much more clear-headed after experiencing something once. Moreover, I used to think I was clear-headed, but I only saw the situation clearly after I withdrew. Now, I also feel... I am clear-headed, but whether I am clear-headed or not is difficult to say clearly..."

Yu Qingwu's tone was gentle and her expression was calm, trying to be as ambiguous as possible.

Xie Jin Yan's question was inappropriate whether she answered yes or no, only ambiguity was the best answer...

However, it was this answer that made Xie Jin Yan freeze.

This answer was very good, it did not appear fawning, nor did it overly reminisce about the past relationship.

But it was precisely because this answer was too good that it proved how clear-headed his Senior Sister was at this moment.

The smile on Xie Jin Yan's lips gradually faded, and the look in his eyes looking at Yu Qingwu became a little sad. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't open his mouth.

Seeing that he was not speaking, Yu Qingwu felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but wonder if she had answered incorrectly.

She paused, reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve, tentatively saying, "Your Highness, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly distracted? Could it be... did I say something wrong?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered that I have to meet the descendants of that farming family tomorrow, and I feel a little upset."

"Now I don't know what Master is doing behind the scenes, so it's hard to say whether the descendants of that farming family are trustworthy or not. I'm just afraid that asking for advice will not increase grain production, but will cause some problems." Xie Jin Yan frowned, deliberately diverting the topic.

Yu Qingwu was not a fool, so she naturally saw some clues.

However, since Xie Jin Yan was unwilling to mention it again, she would not ask any more questions.

If he didn't want to say it, asking would be useless. If he wanted to say it, he would say it himself without asking.

Thinking of this, she smiled slightly, pretending not to understand his emotions. She handed Xie Jin Yan one of the steamed buns he had brought, and poured a bowl of hot tea and placed it in front of him, gently comforting him, "Your Highness, don't think so much. Let's meet the descendants of that farming family first before making a decision. Anyway, the current famine is not something that can be solved in a day or two. It will take several months to grow new crops. Now, the grain supplied to the victims is still enough, isn't it? Even if we can't increase production by then, we can still replant some grain according to the original production, and we will still be able to catch up."

"Yes, you're right."

"Let's eat. After eating, let's rest early." Xie Jin Yan nodded, his expression still a little lost.

If it had been in the past, he probably would have lost his temper with Yu Qingwu.

But now, he didn't know why, he had become much more calm, so he didn't deal with emotional matters as rashly as before.

This kind of dullness continued until the next day.

From the Shifu sect to Peach Blossom Village, neither of them spoke. It was clear that they were not arguing, but there was a strange sense of low depression. Even Yan Qingqing, who rarely spent time with them, noticed it, but she didn't ask anything.

After getting off the carriage, the three of them first found an inn. After settling Yu Qingwu and Yan Qingqing, Xie Jin Yan went to Peach Blossom Village with Feng Yuan, who was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing the two of them leave, Yu Qingwu turned around and entered the inn.

Yan Qingqing also followed behind her, all the way into the room, and then softly called out to her, asking, "Senior Sister Yu, did you quarrel with Senior Brother Xie?"

?

Yu Qingwu was stunned, looked at her in surprise, and asked, "No, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

"It's nothing, it's just... I feel that the atmosphere today is strange, and Seventh Senior Brother is not as lively as usual." Yan Qingqing smiled and subconsciously looked at Yu Qingwu again.

Yu Qingwu usually had that kind of "no strangers allowed" look, and now her expression towards her was very calm, so Yan Qingqing couldn't see anything.

Scratching her head, Yan Qingqing smiled again, "Perhaps, I'm used to Seventh Senior Brother's lively appearance, so he didn't say a word along the way, I always feel strange. Maybe I'm thinking too much..."

She was not thinking too much.

She and Xie Jin Yan were indeed strange today...

However, Yu Qingwu would naturally not tell Yan Qingqing about their emotional problems.

She curled her lips and chuckled, "He is, after all, the Crown Prince. Although there are rumors outside that he is absurd, he is still very calm in his daily actions. He is not like this in the sect."

"Oh... is that so." Yan Qingqing nodded, slightly relieved. She was still a little afraid of Xie Jin Yan. Seeing his gloomy face just now, she suspected that he had quarreled with her Senior Sister, and also thought that he didn't want to take her back to the capital.

After all, bringing one more person would add more trouble.

Moreover, Seventh Senior Brother was a person who was afraid of trouble, and he was not familiar with her on weekdays, almost to the point of not speaking.

Thinking of this, Yan Qingqing looked at Yu Qingwu again, called out to her softly, and said with some worry, "Senior Sister, do you think the people in Seventh Senior Brother's family will not like me? I'm just a country girl, and I don't know the rules. I don't know if I will cause trouble for you and Seventh Senior Brother. I'm usually clumsy..."

Knock knock knock...

Yan Qingqing was worrying when there was a sudden knock on the door.

They didn't order any food.

Yu Qingwu had also encountered many calculations, and because she had no martial arts, her vigilance was always stronger than others. Seeing Yan Qingqing about to open the door, she immediately reached out and grabbed her, then asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

Soon, a somewhat familiar male voice came from outside, "Esteemed guests, our inn has new dishes today, so we're sending some for you to try."
