After settling Xiao Ru and the others, it was already very late when Tang Ning returned to Zhong Mansion.
He passed by the kitchen and found that the light was still on.
Zhong Yi slowly cut the vegetables and stared blankly in a certain direction, her eyes dull.
Her hand holding the knife moved slowly, the sharp blade getting closer and closer to her fingers.
At a certain moment, someone held her wrist.
Tangning looked at her and said, "If you cut it further, you'll be able to cut it off."
Zhong Yi hurriedly put down the knife, wiped his hands and said, "You're back..."
"Miss, have you prepared the meal? Do you want me to deliver it to my uncle today?" Qing'er walked in from outside and said, "By the way, help me cut this cucumber into slices..."
Tangning looked back at her and asked, "Do you still want to hear the story?"
Qing'er looked at him and her expression changed. Starting from last night, in addition to closing the mirror every night, she also secretly swore in her heart that she would never listen to her uncle's stories again.
She threw down the cucumber and ran outside. When she crossed the threshold, she accidentally tripped and rolled and disappeared from Tangning's eyes...
Zhong Yi put the chopped vegetables aside and said, "Qing'er is timid, don't scare her all the time."
The one who bullies the little maid is not a real man.
But precisely because of Qing'er, he is no longer a real man in the eyes of others.
What is a ghost story compared to the greatest insult to one's character?
Who hasn’t experienced the childhood shadow of one or two movies when they were young? They were so scared that they couldn’t sleep at night and didn’t dare to go to the toilet alone in the middle of the night...
He was just helping the little maid exercise her courage.
Tangning shook her head and stopped thinking about the matter. She looked at Zhong Yi and asked, "What were you thinking about just now? You almost got it."
"I just thought of a poem with two words. I think each has its own merits. I don't know which one is better to use..." Zhong Yi shook his head and changed the topic: "Where's Miss Xiao Ru, have the affairs of the house been arranged?
"
Tangning nodded and said, "We've almost moved into the new house. There are only some trivial matters left."
Zhong Yi thought for a while, looked at him and asked: "Xiao Ru said you are his elder brother, but actually..., that's not the case, right?"
Tangning nodded.
"Xiao Ru is a good girl..." Zhong Yi was silent for a while and then said: "I'm sorry for Xiao Ru. This is just a misunderstanding. Let's... let's make peace. After we make peace, you can marry Xiao Ru."
…”
Tangning looked at her and asked, "What about you? What will you do after the divorce?"
Zhong Yi lowered his head and said, "I'm fine..."
Tangning couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's okay, why are you crying..."
Zhong Yi's body trembled and she raised her head to look at him. Her eyes were filled with crystal clear eyes and her eyes were blurry with tears. She wiped away her tears, stamped her feet and said angrily: "Why are you so annoying!"
She turned around and ran outside, but Tangning reached out and grabbed her wrist.
She was a little panicked and struggled: "You, please let me go..."
Tangning simply picked her up, walked out of the kitchen, and walked towards his room.
Zhong Yi's voice became even more panicked, and she slapped his back: "What are you doing, you, please let me go..."
In a small courtyard, Zhong Mingli heard a sound, and as soon as he stepped out of the door, he was dragged back by Chen Yuxian.
Zhong Mingli turned around and asked in surprise: "Why are you pulling me..."
Chen Yuxian closed the door and said, "Read your book and let the children solve their own problems."
Zhong Mingli frowned: "But this guy is too courageous..."
"Come back here!" Chen Yuxian dragged him into the room again and closed the door.
…
Tang Ning walked into the room and thought to herself that it was lucky that the person he was carrying was Zhong Yi and not that chubby girl Fang Xinyue, otherwise she would have had to bend her waist.
He put Zhong Yi on the bed, walked over and closed the door. Zhong Yi huddled at the foot of the bed, looked at him, and said in panic: "You, what are you going to do..."
Tangning turned around, walked over, with a smile on her face, and said, "We're going to make peace anyway, so before we make peace, let's take a look..."
Zhong Yi panicked and said, "Don't come over here. If you come over again, I'll call someone!"
Tangning smiled and unbuttoned her coat while saying, "You can scream, this is my room. Even if you scream at night, no one will come to save you..."
If Qing'er sees this scene, the rumors about him will be shattered.
Zhong Yi saw the smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had thought of something, and the panic on his face disappeared. He sat on the edge of the bed, closed his eyes, and said, "Come on."
The smile on Tangning's face froze.
A talented woman acting like a hooligan is really hard to resist.
He buttoned up his buttons silently, walked over to her and sat down next to her. He turned his head and looked at Zhong Yi, who still had his eyes closed, looking awe-inspiring and about to sacrifice his life, and said: "Don't be like this, you are still the most talented woman in Lingzhou.
Well, how bad it is for people to see it like this..."
Zhong Yi opened his eyes, looked at him, and said, "I knew you didn't dare."
She bent her legs, was silent for a while, and said, "Xiaoru has been waiting for you for so many years, you can't let her down."
"Xiao Ru said that you and I are both talented and beautiful, so I must never let you down." Tangning looked at her and asked, "Have you two discussed this?"
Zhong Yi whispered: "Xiao Ru is a good girl."
Tangning looked at her and said, "You too."
Tang Ning never thought that what Kong Rong let the pear do would happen to him one day, and he would be that pear.
He could see that Xiao Ru felt a little inferior in front of Zhong Yi. He believed that Zhong Yi was his perfect match. Zhong Yi felt guilty about Xiao Ru. Because of her guilt, she could not even care about her situation after the divorce.
Both of them are a little silly and cute.
"Xiao Ru has suffered with me for so many years, and I won't let her suffer anymore." Tang Ning looked at her and said, "But the Tang Ning Zhong Yi has known since two months ago."
Tangning believed that Zhong Yi could understand what he said.
Zhong Yi was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked, "What did you think when my mother mentioned worshiping the church that day?"
"What do you think?" Tangning thought for a while and said, "I thought that I couldn't remember what happened in the past anyway. Miss Zhong's appearance was so-so, her talent was so-so, and her cooking skills were so-so. Otherwise, she would be so-so with her.
Let’s forget it for the rest of our lives, but it’s a pity that she doesn’t want to..."
"How could I not want to..." Zhong Yi said hastily, then realized something, looked at him, wrinkled his nose and asked: "So-so?"
Tangning counted the numbers on her fingers and said, "Look, you don't have Yaoyao's long legs, you can't beat her, you're not as cute as Qing'er, you're not as cute as her, and you still love to cry, often crying on your face.
My skin is not good, and my skin ages a little faster than others..."
"I don't want to talk to you anymore!"
Zhong Yi stood up and walked out angrily.
Tangning sighed and said regretfully: "In addition to the cucumber mask, I also have several secret recipes for facial masks that I want to tell you. After using them, the skin on your face will become delicate, smooth and elastic...
, since you don’t want to talk anymore, then I’d better tell Qing’er.”
"Okay, okay!" An excited voice came from the window.
Zhong Yi opened the door, and Qing'er, who was accidentally exposed, had already disappeared.
"Delicate, smooth, and elastic?" She ignored Qing'er and murmured. She turned to look at Tangning and asked, "What is a facial mask..."
She was the one who said she didn't want to talk, and she was the one taking the initiative to speak now. If he told her so easily, where would he lose his face?
Tangning asked in confusion: "Did I just say something?"
Zhong Yi thought for a while and said, "You said it. You just said that Yaoyao has long legs. I will tell her tomorrow."
"Nonsense!" Tangning sat up from the bed and said, "I just mentioned facial masks. When talking about facial masks, we have to mention human skin. There are actually five main types of skin. People with different skin types,
