After burning a stick of incense, Li Mo went to Li Xiangru's yard with bright red palm prints and a bitter look on his face.
"Sister, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have encouraged you to write the letter, and I was too careless when sending the letter. I didn't remind His Highness the Fourth Prince to keep the letter... In short, everything is my fault."
Unfortunately, no matter how much he apologized and repented, Li Xiangru did not open the door.
Through the thick door panel, Li Xiangru's cry could still be heard.
Li Mo felt extremely regretful.
If he had known this, he really shouldn't have made a bad idea and encouraged his sister to write a letter... which made her the laughing stock of everyone. With Li Xiangru's face-saving temperament, he didn't know when he would leave the house.
Li Mo stood outside the door for a long time before returning to his yard dejectedly.
To everyone, it was just a joke.
But for Li Xiangru, this incident was a shame she had never experienced in her life.
Li Xiangru cried all night and developed a high fever that night. There was no need to pretend, he was really sick.
No matter how angry Mrs. Li was, she could not ignore him. While taking care of Li Xiangru, she also sent people to the academy to ask for leave for a few days. She was very busy.
Li Mo had no intention of going to the academy, so he simply took leave and stayed in the mansion.
However, when he went to visit Li Xiangru, Li Xiangru sighed and ignored him.
The relationship between the two brothers and sisters has always been very good. This was the first time that they were so angry and awkward. Li Mo felt quite uncomfortable. He was full of bitterness and had nowhere to complain. He deeply understood what it means to "do bad things with good intentions".
…
A few days later, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince personally visited the door of Li Mansion.
Mr. Li Ge and Mr. Li were both in the court. Mrs. Li and Li Mo's mother and son welcomed them in person.
The fourth prince was cold and stern and spoke little. He walked into the door of his future-in-law's house and didn't say much to his future mother-in-law and brother-in-law. He first sent a bunch of supplements, and then asked: "Miss Li Er is seriously ill, let me send you some supplements."
Come."
Mrs. Li was quite pleased and hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you, Your Highness, the Fourth Prince."
The fourth prince forced a smile.
In fact, Li Xiangru has been having a hard time these past few days, and he, the fourth prince, is also very depressed. No matter where he goes, there are a lot of envious and ambiguous looks...
It made him feel very depressed.
Even Lu Chi laughed and joked twice: "I never expected that Miss Li Er would be so affectionate and affectionate towards His Highness the Fourth Prince. It's very enviable."
Seeing Lu Chi's handsome face with no grudges and full of smiles, the fourth prince felt even more gloomy and depressed. Unfortunately, it was hard to explain such things, so he had to "accept" it silently.
When he went to the Jiaofang Hall to pay his respects, he was teased by Emperor Jianwen and Empress Yu. Emperor Jianwen also specially ordered him to come to the Li Mansion: "... Li Ge is always a minister once and twice, and Miss Li Er is your fiancée. She
It doesn't look good on you to be teased wantonly. Go to Li's Mansion and show your courtesy to calm down the rumors outside."
The fourth prince also knew that this was the most appropriate approach, and came to the Li Mansion on his holiday.
However, he has no true feelings for Li Xiangru, and his concern in conversation is always a bit vain.
Li Mo had been classmates with the Fourth Prince for several years, and was quite familiar with the Fourth Prince's temperament. He knew what was going on at a glance, and felt an inexplicable anger in his heart.
…
"My sister has been bedridden these past few days and is in a gloomy mood." Li Mo said lightly: "Since His Highness is here, why not go outside and say a few greetings. Perhaps her illness can be cured faster."
Come and do the whole show.
The fourth prince did not refuse and nodded in agreement.
Li Mo's expression softened slightly, he got up and led the fourth prince to Li Xiangru's bedroom.
"Sister, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has come specially to visit you." Li Mo's loud voice passed through the thick door panel and reached the ears of Li Xiangru, who was lying on the bed looking miserable.
Li Xiangru didn't react for a while.
Then, a familiar cold young voice came into her ears: "Miss Li Er is seriously ill and needs to take good care of herself."
It's the fourth prince!
Li Xiangru, who was feeling weak and depressed, suddenly regained his energy and reflexively stood up straight from his sitting position. His voice was trembling: "Is this the Fourth Prince?"
"Yes," the fourth prince's words were concise, and there was no hint of affection or tenderness: "I heard that you are sick, so I came here to visit you today."
Just this simple word made Li Xiang's heart bloom with joy. All the grievances and sorrows he had accumulated for many days disappeared at this moment.
The fourth prince came specially to see her!
He is not completely heartless.
Even if he doesn't like him as deeply as she does, at least he still has her in his heart.
Two red clouds flew up from Li Xiangru's slightly pale pretty face, his eyes suddenly shone with light, and his voice returned to its usual calm and graceful tone: "Your Highness, I'm thinking of you. I occasionally felt cold, and after a few days of recovery, I have improved quite a bit. Again.
You will be able to recover safely in a few days. Please don’t worry, Your Highness."
The fourth prince said calmly: "That's good, take care of it!"
Then, he opened his mouth to say goodbye: "You are in good health and recovering from illness. I can't bother you more, so I will say goodbye."
Li Xiangru hummed softly, and did not forget to tell Li Mo: "Brother, send one to His Highness for me."
Li Mo: "..."
With a fiancé, the eldest brother is nothing but a grassroots man!
Li Mo silently cursed in his heart, but readily agreed with his mouth.
No matter what, the sister finally agreed to pay attention to him, and the brother and sister finally reconciled.
…
The fourth prince came once, and those who secretly teased Li Mansion shut their mouths.
Li Xiangru's illness was more than half recovered, and he was able to stay and move around that day. After two days, his illness was almost healed.
Logically speaking, it's time to return to Lianchi Academy.
Li Xiangru valued face the most, and when he thought of the hidden mocking looks of the girls in his classmates, he felt depressed and uncomfortable. He refused to go to the academy and stayed at home for two more days.
Mrs. Li couldn't help but urge: "You have recovered from your illness. What are you still doing at home? You will go to the academy to study tomorrow!"
Li Xiangru responded dully: "They will definitely laugh at me!"
"There's nothing you can do about laughing. Do you have to hide at home for the rest of your life?" Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at Li Xiangru and said angrily: "Sooner or later, we have to face him, and there's no point in hiding."
Li Xiang turned his head to the side as if he was angry: "I don't want to see them anyway."
As soon as he finished speaking, the concierge hurriedly came to report: "Mrs. Qi, there are a group of students from Lianchi Academy outside the door. They say they are the classmates of the second lady."
Li Xiangru: "..."
Talking about Cao Cao, a group of Cao Cao are here!
Even though she was here, she couldn't hide even if she wanted to, so she had no choice but to face all her classmates. She secretly prayed in her heart that that hateful Xie Mingxi would never come...
As the head of the dormitory, how could Xie Mingxi not come?
Not only did Xie Mingxi come, she also said with a smile on behalf of all her classmates: "Sister Li has been ill for nearly ten days, so she should be cured!"
"Now that I'm well, I'll go back to the academy."
"Don't worry, none of us will mention Sister Li's letter to His Highness the Fourth Prince, let alone make fun of Sister Li."
