Chu Li put down the tea cup and sighed: "You talk to Gu Litong about loyalty, but Gu Litong treats you as a fool. Brother Zhou, don't you understand?"
"No matter what, I can't break my promise!" Zhou Yuting snorted.
"How can this be treachery? Think about it, if Gu Litong continues like this, how can the West Garden be well? Sooner or later something will happen!... How dare he kill the good Moonlight Orchid? What else can he not dare to do? There is nothing in the world that is not airtight.
If something happens in the future and the eldest son is angry, what will you do?"
Zhou Yuting's expression changed.
Once the eldest son gets angry, he will definitely vent his anger on himself.
Chu Li said: "When Gu Litong did this, did he ever take care of you or think about you? He felt that the world revolved around him, and you should be nice to him. He didn't have to be nice to you or think about you. These words
I’m not talking nonsense, am I?”
Zhou Yuting was silent.
Chu Li was right in every word he said. Gu Litong really didn't care about him. Everything was based on him. He was just a foil.
Chu Li continued: "If you could hide it for him in normal times, you might be able to hide it for a while, but the situation is different now. Now I have to force you to choose. You can either choose to love yourself deeply, and you also love yourself deeply.
A good girl, or die together with Gu Litong, any normal person knows what to choose!"
"But..." Zhou Yuting frowned.
Chu Li waved his hand: "Furthermore, is what you did just? Should Gu Litong's style of play be stopped? As a member of the West Garden and a subordinate of the eldest son, should you be loyal to the eldest son or Gu Litong?
, is Gu Litong more important than the eldest son?"
Chu Li took another sip of tea: "If you keep hiding it, you will be disloyal to the eldest son!"
He waved his hand again, interrupted Zhou Yuting again, and continued: "You are unfaithful to the eldest son, unjust to the girl who loves you deeply, but you are loyal to a despicable villain? Don't you think you are ridiculous?!"
Zhou Yuting remained silent.
Chu Lidao said: "If Brother Zhou speaks out and becomes a man for once, not only will Miss Yujiao, but this house also belong to Brother Zhou, it will also be my little favor!"
"Humph, your intentions are so precious!" Zhou Yuting snorted.
Chu Li smiled: "We have agreed first that the house is given to Brother Zhou, but the redemption money still has to be paid back. Let's divide it into ten years. Ten thousand taels a year is not too much, right?"
"Twenty years!" Zhou Yuting said.
He is only in the eighth rank now and is not a guard. He can only get it from home, but ten thousand taels a year is still too much.
"Okay, twenty years." Chu Li hummed.
He stood up and put down the tea cup, took out an IOU from his arms and handed it to him: "Please make a pledge."
Zhou Yuting took it and looked at it for a few times, bit off his left index finger, pressed the red handprint, and hummed: "Don't trust me yet!"
"If Brother Zhou does something he shouldn't do, I will take this IOU to Zhou Zongfeng, and Zhou Zongfeng will not default on the debt." Chu Li smiled and said, "Well, I won't bother you,**
A moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold!"
He waved his hand at Zhou Yuting and floated away.
Zhou Yuting stood there in a daze.
"Master?" Yujiao curled over, like a weak willow supporting the wind.
Zhou Yuting's tangled thoughts disappeared in an instant, and he reached out and pulled Yujiao into his arms. The joy of finding her was overflowing in his heart, and he rushed into the bedroom with her in his arms.
——
It was already midnight when Chu Li returned to the small courtyard on Yuqi Island.
He opened the door, and there was a scream in the courtyard: "Who?"
"Me!" Chu Li stepped into the hospital.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, the air suddenly changed. It felt a little refreshing in an instant, as if my pores suddenly opened. It was so refreshing that it was indescribable.
Xueling, who was in fluttering white clothes, was practicing the Eight Taiyin Postures. When she saw it was him, she was surprised and said: "Young Master?!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Are you unhappy when I come back?"
Xue Lingyu grimaced and hummed: "What am I happy about? I have to work hard to serve you!"
Chu Li shook his head with a smile, came to the Tianling Tree, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
Xuanli grass has grown very tall, much thicker and stronger than ordinary Xuanli grass. This kind of Xuanli grass will have better medicinal effect.
"Sir, the Night Dream flower has bloomed twice. I am in charge of picking the flowers."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded. He had already sent someone to deliver a message asking Suru to come and pick the Night Dream Flower in time. As for the Purple Ming Flower and others, there is no need to be in such a hurry. The longer they grow, the better.
"The manager said that you went to accompany the beauty, sir. What happened?" Xueling brought the white jade teacup.
Chu Li took it and took a sip: "It's hard to say anything. We'll talk about it later. You practice your skills."
"Want a late-night snack?"
"No."
"I'd better make some." Xueling said, running into the kitchen lightly.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
The Tianling tree has grown a lot, with the help of four trees. It is indeed growing very fast. Now is its rapid growth period. It is estimated that in the next year, the growth rate will slow down. It will be as slow as a turtle. It will depend on the years.
A little bigger and its lifespan is thousands of years.
Chu Li sat back in the small pavilion and exhaled a sigh of relief. He was still comfortable at home.
He left home for a month this time, and when he returned to this small courtyard, he found it friendly and comfortable. He felt that this was his home and he was at ease.
After Xueling served her supper, Chu Li asked her to practice the Eight Taiyin Postures to see how she went.
Xueling practiced it once, and Chu Li gave some instructions.
Xueling thought about improvements on her own, understood what Chu Li meant, and felt that she had gained a lot. Sure enough, she still needed his guidance.
The next day, Chu Li lazily got up and sat in a small pavilion for a day, tempering his body with the breath of the Tianling Tree, and continued to practice the Vajra Du E magic skill. The Xuanli grass was mature and he could start medicinal bathing.
In the evening, the setting sun filled the small courtyard with its slanting glow.
Suru, with her apricot-yellow gown fluttering, opened the door and entered the small pavilion before Chu Li came out. She sat in front of Chu Li and widened her bright eyes: "Chu Li, what on earth have you done?"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Manager, what's the matter?"
"Gu Litong's hand was broken and he was expelled from the Duke's mansion!" Suru said in surprise: "The eldest son is furious. No one knows why. I guess it's you who caused the trouble!"
Chu Li shook his head and sighed: "What a pity!"
"What a pity, hypocrisy!" Suru rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "This guy should have been expelled from the house long ago!"
Chu Lidao: "He is still talented and learned."
Gu Litong has evil intentions, but he is very talented in the field of flowers and plants. If he didn't have the Ku Rong Sutra, he would really not be able to compare with him.
"Hurry up and tell me how you did it!" Suru urged.
Chu Li didn't hide anything. He told what happened and said with a smile: "Fight fire with fire. It's very difficult to deal with someone like him in an upright way."
"You are quite vicious!" Su Ru looked at him with bright eyes strangely: "You are full of evil ideas!"
Chu Li smiled and said nothing.
Suru said: "One hundred thousand taels?"
Chu Li took out the IOU: "Actually, I don't intend to ask him to pay it back, but Zhou Yuting will not be willing to be restrained without a handle."
Suru took a look and hummed: "I don't have a hundred thousand taels to give you!"
Chu Li smiled and said: "Where is the manager thinking? How could he ask the manager to pay for it!"
Suru gave him a blank look: "I don't know you yet!"
