Li Yi admitted that after Ruyi said these words, his heart skipped a beat.
More than once.
"I said, let Sister Zeng come through." Ruyi looked at him and repeated it again.
Li Yi suddenly didn't know where to put his hands. Put them outside. It didn't seem right. Put them in his sleeves. It didn't seem right. Put them in his pockets - there were no pockets.
Ruyi held his hand, sat down by the bed, and said, "Sister Zeng was here just now."
Only then did Li Yi remember the carriage he had just seen at the door of the house. His heart tightened again and he asked casually: "What were you talking about?"
"Just chatting casually. She came to see me and Duan'er, and she even brought little shoes that she made by herself. Miss Zeng's beauty is better than that of me, and Duan'er also likes her very much..." Ruyi smiled
He smiled, looked at Li Yi and said: "Sister Zeng, you are really good. I can tell that she likes my husband, no less than I do."
Li Yi looked at her. Others would make such a joke, but Ruyi would definitely not make it, let alone make it a second time.
"Madam..." Li Yi opened his mouth, but was interrupted by her.
Ruyi held his hand and asked with a smile on her face, "Does your husband like Sister Zeng?"
"……like."
Li Yi nodded, this was the only answer he could give at this moment.
"I'm sorry for Sister Zeng." Ruyi looked at him, suddenly lowered her head and said, "I once went to find her without telling my husband."
Li Yi looked at her blankly. Neither Ruyi nor Zuimo had ever mentioned this matter to him.
Ruyi whispered: "I asked her if she likes my husband. If she likes it, she might as well marry into the Li family..."
"when?"
"Just a few days before my husband left Kyoto."
"She, what did she say?"
"She refused."
Li Yi clenched his other fist. It was not difficult to imagine the situation and mood they were in at that time. No wonder, no wonder she always avoided him those days...
And what kind of determination did Ruyi make when she went to Yangliu Lane in person and said these words to her...
Ruyi held his hand tightly and whispered: "Ms. sir, I'm sorry. At that time, I just thought that if she could go to the Li family, she might be able to give birth to a child for my husband and the Li family...,
It’s me who is too selfish.”
Li Yi breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and said, "I am the one who should say I'm sorry."
"My husband, don't say that." Ruyi leaned on his shoulder and said, "My husband is very good to me. I know that my husband cares about my feelings, so I can only wrong Miss Zeng."
Li Yi held her waist, lowered his head and asked: "Now that we have Duan'er, why do you still want to give up..."
"Because Sister Zeng is really nice..." Ruyi lowered her head and murmured: "Not to mention my husband, I even like her a little bit..."
She suddenly raised her head and asked curiously: "How did my husband and Miss Zeng first meet?"
"How do we know each other..." Li Yi thought for a while and said: "It seems that I just came here... not long after I was captured by Ruyi in the village, I went down the mountain once and was taken to Qunyu Courtyard by Li Xuan..."
"As you know, Li Xuan is a romantic person with a lot of thoughts. He goes to and from these fireworks places all day long. I didn't want to go, but he forced me..."
"That day at Qunyu Courtyard, I happened to meet her performing. I recognized the wrong person and mistook her for an old acquaintance. I lost my temper a bit and disturbed her playing. I was also scolded as a slut..."
"Old acquaintance?" Ruyi looked up at her and asked, "An old acquaintance that can make my husband lose his temper must be very important in my heart. Where is she now and how is she doing?"
Li Yi was slightly absent-minded, and then said: "It's been a long, long time. Now that I think about it, it feels like it happened in my previous life. As for her... I will never see her again."
That was a misunderstanding. At this time, He Ruyi could only explain it this way.
Ruyi lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't mention my concubine."
"It doesn't matter." Li Yi helped her smooth the hair in front of her forehead and continued: "Speaking of which, this is not the first time. The first time I took her painting by mistake..."
"Is that the one my husband hid in the study?"
"Uh, um... that's the one." Li Yi was startled, and then continued: "Later, one time, in Qunyu Courtyard, uh, of course, he was brought in by Li Xuan, and he accidentally broke into her
room, at that time, she had just come out from the shower, and then..."
"There is such a thing, wouldn't my husband..."
"Misunderstanding, that time was purely a misunderstanding..." Li Yi shook his head repeatedly, "Then I accidentally saw her changing clothes. I didn't see anything that time. It was also a misunderstanding..."
"Did you see everything last time?"
"Well..., no, that day..., ah, later, didn't we move to Kyoto later? When we left, I helped her write a few poems to compete for the courtesan, but I didn't know that she had actually wanted to redeem herself for a long time.
If she becomes an oiran, her worth will increase greatly, and she will not be able to redeem herself, and she will almost do bad things with good intentions..."
"Obviously there are more than a dozen songs..."
"Ah, more than a dozen songs, maybe I remembered it wrong... Later, she came to Kyoto to help in Goulan, and later in a clothing store... For a while, some people in Beijing targeted me and asked her to
I suffered a lot of repercussions and was almost unjustly imprisoned..."
Ruyi blinked and asked, "Did you fall in love for a long time?"
"No..." Li Yi shook his head and said, "We haven't reached that stage yet."
"So, where has it come to?"
Except for those few accidents, there was really no normal hand holding between the two. Li Yi shook his head and told the truth calmly.
"Let your husband make the decision on this matter." Ruyi lowered her head, held his hand tightly, bit her lower lip, and said slowly: "There is only so much I can do..."
Li Yi didn't speak, but held her tightly with his other arm. After that, there was no sound in the room.
When the little guy woke up, Ruyi went over to coax him and teased him for a while. When he stepped out of the door, there was a voice behind him again.
"Ms. Xianggong, I have a problem..." Ruyi's voice was soft: "If I and Sister Zeng fall into the water at the same time, which one will you save first?"
boom!
When Li Yi stepped out of the threshold with one foot, he tripped heavily and flew straight to the corridor.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and was only embarrassed when he landed, but it wasn't really as miserable as Chen Gui's incident.
Lao Fang stood in the courtyard, watching this scene in a daze, then walked over, sighed, and said: "Uncle, think about it, there are no obstacles in life that you can't overcome..."
Li Yi straightened his clothes, looked at him in surprise, and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Lao Fang patted him on the shoulder, sighed again, and said: "Miss, when I hit you and scold you, just bear with it and let it pass. Don't fight back, otherwise you will be beaten even worse."
Li Yi frowned and looked at him: "What exactly do you want to say?"
Lao Fang showed a puzzled expression on his face and asked: "You have been in there for so long, didn't the eldest lady say anything?"
"I told you." Li Yi looked at him and said, "Ruyi said, let me marry Zui Mo back."
"Inexplicable." Looking at Lao Fang who suddenly stood there blankly, Li Yi shook his head and turned to leave.
"Marry, marry back..."
Lao Fang turned around and watched his back disappear in confusion before shaking his head in disbelief.
