"My servant picked up a little kitten that looked very similar to the Xue'er my mother had raised before. Since I was guarding my mother's mausoleum, I thought it might have been arranged by my mother in heaven."
Qi Zhen smiled bitterly, "I adopted that kitten and named it Xue'er. Later, Xue'er scratched me and I was poisoned..."
Bai Banxia's eyes widened, "The layout was done through cats?"
Qi Zhen nodded, "Someone specially designed it. Xue'er looks small, but her claws are poisonous, and it can't be seen from the outside."
He sighed again, "Just thinking about it, it won't live long."
Bai Banxia was very angry when he heard this, "Have you found out who it is? Did the current emperor arrange it?"
"He is the only one left. Not only does he want to rebel, but he also wants to nip the danger in the bud. I, who outsiders think is my father's favorite prince, am naturally a thorn in his side." Qi Zhen said.
"Using pets to harm people is vicious enough. Don't be sad. I will protect you from now on. With me here, you won't let poisonous things get close to you." Bai Banxia touched his head distressedly.
"But you drugged me." He said aggrievedly.
Bai Banxia had a black line on her head, "There's something drugged, it's called drinking."
"Anyway, you plotted against me." He pouted, "I'm so sad now."
When he said he was sad, he probably didn't mean that she plotted against him, but that he remembered the past. Bai Banxia reached out and hugged him, patted his back, "It's all over, I will be there in the future."
She coaxed him into bed again and waited until he fell asleep before leaving.
Early the next morning, Qi Zhen suddenly sat up from the bed and tried to breathe. The acupuncture points had been unlocked and his internal energy could be used.
He recalled what happened last night, and felt a little mixed for a while.
He remembered the past sadly, but he also felt considerate because of her comfort. But when he thought about her coaxing him to sleep like a child, he wanted to find a place to crawl in.
So, when Bai Banxia urged him to set off, he had a straight face, as if he was still angry.
"Do you remember what happened last night?" Bai Banxia laughed and asked cautiously.
When she smiled like this, he felt that she was laughing at him, and there was almost a black line on her face.
"I don't remember." He said coldly, "Aren't you going to pick up the Li family? Don't waste time."
"How come you don't remember? You remembered it even after you sobered up last time. You're not angry with me, so you don't admit it, right?" Bai Banxia followed him and asked coquettishly.
Qi Zhen suddenly stopped and turned around to glare at her. He didn't want her to follow him too closely, and before he could stop, he bumped into his chest.
This time the posture of the two of them became a little ambiguous, as if she was leaning in her arms.
Hearing the aunt's low laughter, Bai Banxia was so embarrassed that she bounced away as if she had been pricked by a needle.
"Why did you stop suddenly? Did you do it on purpose?" She was a little annoyed.
Seeing that she looked like a little kitten with teeth and claws, he felt better again, with a smile on his lips.
"Remember part of it and we'll talk about it on the way." After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Bai Banxia finally understood, he must have remembered it all, his little expression couldn't deceive her, he just refused to admit it.
The two went to pick up the Li family. The Li family prepared five carriages, one for the Li family and another for them. There were also two horses for riding, so Bai Banxia and Qi Zhen didn't need to worry.
these details.
Aunt Li has already arranged everything she needs to bring on the trip. As someone who manages a large restaurant, how can she not arrange these things well?
Just when I was about to go out, the old lady of the Li family came.
"You really won't let me go and see Lu'er get married?" Old Mrs. Li asked with red eyes, "When my relatives find out, they still don't know what they will think of me?"
She said and looked at Li Lu'er, "Lu'er, can you bear the thought of grandma being made irresponsible remarks even at her age?"
Li Luer went over and helped her arm and said: "Grandma, you are serious. I have a long journey to get married, and the journey is too hard. You are not in good health. We really can't bear you running around like this. When I come back, I will definitely bring my husband.
Kowtow to you."
Bai Banxia nodded secretly, if Li Luer softened her heart when she heard the old lady pretending to be pitiful, then she would not be able to pick it up in the future, and sooner or later she would be controlled by the old lady of the Li family.
The old lady hit a soft nail, so she decided to be tough and said angrily: "Do you still have me in your eyes? Filial piety comes first. If you are so unfilial, aren't you afraid of being poked in the back?"
"You keep saying that you are in poor health and don't take care of chores. You just want to eat and pray in your own room. It would be really unfilial if we kept disturbing you." Aunt Li said.
Then she winked at her daughter and said, "Lu'er, please get in the car first. It's not good for a girl to be married to show her face like this."
"Yes." Li Luer obediently got on the carriage. If she continued to argue with the old lady, there would be no result. If she talked too much, it would be easier to keep her words true.
Aunt Li said to the cook at home: "The old lady can't be tired. Please help her in quickly, and we will set off, otherwise we will be late."
The cook caught her wink and pulled the old lady back. The cook was so strong that the old lady was no match for her, so she could only call her son desperately.
"Old madam, why are you confused again? Have you forgotten that the doctor said that you are not in good health and cannot travel far? The master and his wife are doing this for your own good." The cook shouted cleverly.
The old lady's shouting attracted a crowd of neighbors. After hearing this, everyone felt that something was wrong with the old lady of the Li family. She had not been seen out a few times before, and the doctor was often invited. She really could not travel far away.
When the Li family all got on the carriage and Qi Zhen followed on horseback, Bai Banxia told him to get on the carriage first and accompany Li Luer.
Seeing that she knew how to greet him, Qi Zhen curled up his lips in a good mood.
"The sun will be shining soon, just stay in the car." He said with a smile.
Bai Banxia also laughed, "I can't get a tan, so I'll come ride a horse with you later."
Qi Zhen is in a better mood. His wife is so cute. Although she is always not enlightened, she is also very perceptive and learns quickly.
In the car, Uncle Li sighed heavily and said to Li Luer: "Your grandma is confused, don't take it to heart."
Li Luer smiled and said, "When she changed Zhang Tongsheng's horoscope without permission, I had given up hope. If she didn't want me to talk about our marriage, it would be better to talk directly to me, not to mention what her mother's family is doing.
."
"If she knew she was wrong, and if it was for Lu'er's benefit, she wouldn't make a fuss at the gate today. She still has hatred in her heart and wants to ruin the child's reputation and make her bear the name of unfilial piety." Aunt Li said cheerfully.
.
Bai Banxia nodded, "I can see it even as an outsider. Although I shouldn't say anything, from now on we are relatives, so I can't help but say a few more words."
