When Li Yi walked into the small courtyard in Yangliu Lane, Xiao Cui lowered his head and said something, looking listless.
Li Yi looked at her and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay." Xiaocui looked at him, opened her lips, and finally shook her head mechanically.
Li Yi looked at her and asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
"Miss, I won't let you talk." Xiao Cui lowered her head and said, then ran away quickly.
Li Yi was stunned on the spot and shook his head. He probably knew what she wanted to say. He walked through the yard and saw the door of the studio open and stepped in.
That familiar figure is painting inside. To be precise, she should be designing ready-to-wear styles. Several people have been hired to do these things, but in a certain aspect, she is actually quite similar to Wan Ruoqing. They are the kind of people who are simply idle.
People who can't come down.
The stove was lit in the room, but it was still a little cold after leaving her hands outside for a long time. When Li Yi walked in, she put down her pen, put her hands to her mouth and breathed a sigh of relief. When she saw Li Yi walking in,
There was an inexplicable trace of panic on his face.
Li Yi walked over, wrapped her hand with his own, and said, "Stop painting in such a cold weather. If your hands are frozen, the days ahead will be uncomfortable."
Having his hand held like this felt warm and reassuring. She struggled a few times but couldn't break free, so she stopped resisting. She lowered her head and whispered: "I went to your house today and didn't tell you in advance. I'm sorry.
I just thought I should go and see it, but I didn’t think about it..."
"I know." Li Yi nodded and said, "Ruyi told me everything."
She raised her head slightly and said, "I, I didn't want to cause you any trouble."
"I know." Li Yi nodded and asked: "At that time, before I went to Qi State, did Ruyi come to see you?"
Zeng Zuimo's body trembled slightly, and then he nodded and said: "I came here once, she is your wife, and I asked some questions about the store. Mrs. Li is very nice..."
"that's it?"
She nodded and said, "That's all."
"She also told me this." Li Yi let go of her hand, took a deep breath, held her in his arms, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I should have said that."
The delicate body in her arms trembled, tears were streaming from her eyes, but there was a smile on her face, "It's nothing, don't blame her, I didn't take it seriously anyway, it's nothing, it's really nothing..."
"The last time doesn't count." Li Yi let go of her, held her shoulders, and looked into her eyes. She hurriedly wiped a handful on her face and lowered her head.
"Now let me ask again." Li Yi looked at her and asked: "Are you... willing to marry into the Li family?"
Although her heart was beating wildly at the moment, she still raised her head, sniffed and said, "I don't want to."
"If you don't want to, then I'll ask again." Li Yi held her face and asked again: "Is Miss Zeng willing to marry into the Li family?"
"I don't want to."
"Will the Goddess of Luoshui be willing to marry into the Li family?"
"I don't want to..."
"Would my daughter be willing to marry into the Li family?"
"willing!"
Xiaocui stood at the door, fists clenched, and said anxiously: "Miss, please say you are willing!"
…
Xiaocui was held down and spanked and went out. Zeng Zuimo sat on the edge of the bed, shook his head and said: "I'm fine here, why are you going to Li's house, are you raising me like a canary? Besides,
Now, I’m gone, what will happen to Sister Ruoqing? If we leave, she and Xiaozhu will be the only ones left here..."
Li Yi had actually thought about this issue when she came here. This matter still depends on her choice, and for now, this method should be the most suitable.
The road has to be walked step by step. To reach this point, we have experienced too many setbacks and hardships. Don't be anxious...
Xiaocui poked her head out of the door and said, "Mr. Li, Miss, I know how to solve this matter..."
Li Yi glanced over there and said, "Xiao Cui, close the door and don't eavesdrop."
The little maid pursed her lips and closed the door gloomily.
Zeng Zuimo looked at him and suddenly said: "In two days, I want you to accompany me to Zeng's house."
Li Yi frowned, "Why are you going to Zeng's house?"
"Forget it..." Zeng Zuimo shook his head again and said, "Let's wait for a while."
"No need to wait, we will go in two days." Li Yi shook his head and said: "Since it is Nannan's matter, we have to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of fire. Even if the Zeng family is in the dragon's pond and tiger's den, they have to go..."
"There is no formality." Zeng Zuimo rolled his eyes at him and said: "What about mountains of swords and seas of fire, dragons and tigers' dens? I just want to take over the spiritual places of my parents. Last time I went there with Sister Ruoqing..."
When she said this, she stopped abruptly.
Li Yi frowned and asked, "You two have been there before, didn't the Zeng family give you any?"
Zeng Zuimo nodded and said, "It was the beginning of the year..."
Li Yi patted her hand and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zeng is a person with general knowledge, he will give it to you."
"It's not because of him..." Zeng Zuimo shook his head and said, "Let's discuss this matter some time later."
Li Yi nodded, thought of something, and suddenly asked: "Let me ask you a question, if Master Zeng and I fall into the water at the same time, and you can only save one, who will you save?"
Zeng Zuimo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know how to swim, so..."
She thought for a while, seemed to have thought of something, looked at Li Yi, and asked: "If it was me and Mrs. Li who fell into the water, who would you save?"
Li Yi's expression froze instantly.
Don't talk too much, don't talk too much!
Too much talk leads to misunderstanding. This is an eternal truth.
Seeing the look in the eyes of Luoshui Goddess, Li Yi thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, Ruyi will save you. She has very good martial arts and can fly even when she steps on water. She also said she likes you this morning.
I won’t leave it alone…”
…
"Uncle, is everything you said this morning true?" On the carriage, Lao Fang couldn't help his doubts and opened the curtain and asked.
Li Yi glanced at him and asked, "Why, what do you think?"
"No, no." Lao Fang shook his head and said, "What ideas can I have..."
There was nothing to say all the way, watching my uncle enter the house. When Lao Fang returned home, he was sitting at the table and happened to see his mother-in-law walking out of the kitchen carrying a tray.
He shook his head and sighed: "As I said, our family is not short of money now. We can just hire a few maids to do the cooking and cleaning..."
Of course, the reason for hiring a maid is not just for cleaning. After decades of living a simple life, even if it’s just to change the style every two days...
"What's wrong with having money? If you have money, you can do whatever you want. You have forgotten the hard days you lived in the past, but I have not forgotten. You even invited a maid..." Fang's sister-in-law scolded him a few words, frowning as if she had thought of something.
He immediately started twisting and said, "Please maid, please invite a few more. Tell me, are you having any other evil intentions..."
"Okay, no more, no more..." Seeing that his mother-in-law was having another attack, Lao Fang hurriedly changed the subject and asked, "What are you going to eat today?"
Fang's sister-in-law glared at him and said, "Wild vegetable porridge."
"What's wrong with the wild vegetable porridge? This is the wild vegetable I specially picked outside the city. I just want to let you know that the hard days in the past have not passed for a few years..."
"But didn't I just eat it the day before yesterday..." The old man said with a bitter look on his face, "I've been eating it all my life, can you try something different, like the Tremella fungus and lotus seed porridge I drank a few days ago, just..."
"Those are the leftover wild vegetables from the day before yesterday. Wait... I've eaten them all my life and I don't want to eat them anymore. Then I've been with you all my life, and you've already been bored..." The Fang family's sister-in-law put down the bowl and chopsticks and picked them up.
He picked up a broom and pointed at him from a distance: "Tell me, who made the white fungus and lotus seed porridge for you? Did you have someone outside..." Okay, I've heard a long time ago that when you were outside, you spent all day long.
Run to Qunyuyuan, have you raised a woman outside..."
Lao Fang's face turned red, he pointed at her and stammered: "You, you are so bloody!"
"I'm so slanderous, tell me, tell me, who made the Tremella and lotus seed porridge for you!"
"You, you can't learn more from other ladies..."
"Okay, okay, I've become more capable. You've moved the eldest lady out... If you don't tell the truth today, you won't be able to survive this day!"
…
A moment later, the man ran out of the house alone, stood on the street, rubbed his sore buttocks that had been slapped by the broom, let out a long sigh, and looked up to the sky and said: "It's unreasonable..."
