Bab 468: Watching the Snow

Ye Hongyu asked, "Snow can't keep the people, but can you?"

Ning Que said, "I don't understand what you mean."

She continued, "Why did you dismiss all the stewards and maids last night?"

Ning Que answered with a smile, "Doesn't this mean that I have not kept anyone?"

Ye Hongyu said, "You know what I mean."

Ning Que said, "Today is the Winter Solstice Festival. I think they might be better with their families."

Ye Hongyu said, "Then why do you want me to leave? Don't tell me you still want to kill Xia Hou and you're going to do it right now."

Ning Que asked, "Do you care about me?"

Ye Hongyu shook her head.

Ning Que smiled and said, "It hurts but I know you really mean it. Since you don't care whether I could be killed, then why does it bother you?"
