Chapter 162: The drunkard’s intention is not to drink
It's difficult, it's too difficult. The only advantage is that she is hiding and Concubine Liao is hiding. The old godly woman probably never dreamed that her daughter-in-law would dare to murder her. It is a heinous crime for a daughter-in-law to harm her mother-in-law.
Death by a thousand cuts. Over the years, I have only occasionally heard of a son killing his parents, but never of a daughter-in-law daring to harm her parents-in-law.
While Xin Nian was thinking about it, he saw Li Zhi walking in from outside the hospital, with a small face that was rosy, whether from the sun or other reasons.
"Lizhi, come in."
Xin Nian saw that there seemed to be a look of shame and annoyance on her face, so he called the person in and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Who has offended our Litchi girl?".
"Nothing." Lychee smiled and said, "Auntie, do you still remember the nerd who fell out of the tree last time we went outside the second gate?"
"Oh, remember, that Zhao Chu, right? He is not a nerd. I heard from the prince that among those moves, he is the most active."
"No wonder, I just said he was a bit out of character."
Lychee held the handkerchief in her hand, recalling Zhao Chu's words and deeds, and couldn't help but laugh: "I went to the second gate to ask Mama Li for the eyebrow pencil she borrowed from me, but when I came out, I saw this guy at the second gate.
I poked my head outside and saw me. He said he had something important to inquire about. I thought these were guests after all and it was not easy to offend me, so I had no choice but to go over. As a result, he kept asking me about the third girl, and also involved his friend.
What Jiang Yanhui said, he praised the other party's integrity. Hum! It was obvious that the drunkard was not interested in drinking. I thought he was thinking of trying to get ahead of our three girls, so I told him to concentrate on his studies, and then he would be thoughtful and should go to high school.
We’ll talk about it later. But he then said, tomorrow during the Dragon Boat Festival, he asked me to bring him some more rice dumplings from the kitchen. Auntie, listen, what are these words? It seems like we have treated him badly in the past. Auntie... Auntie...
…”
"Oh." Xin Nian suddenly came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a few rice dumplings? I think he likes to eat them, so you can give him a few more. They're not worth much."
"I'm not going. Let's find two boys to deliver the rice dumplings then. Otherwise, people will see me and start gossiping. Grandma and Aunt Qiu have sent countless spies to keep an eye on us. Knowing that I'm going to deliver the rice dumplings, how can I be spared?
Me? It’s okay for me, I’m afraid they’ll use me to bring trouble on my aunt, so why bother?”
"Well, you are thoughtful." Xin Nian nodded: "Well, since we are talking about the kitchen, you can go over and have a look. Let Sanniang make another one or two hundred rice dumplings, and I will keep them to give away."
"yes."
Li Zhi turned around, and here Xin Nian touched his chin and muttered to himself: "I think the prince may have hinted at Zhao Chu. He asked someone to inquire about the character of the three girls, and praised Jiang Yanhui's integrity. This was obviously a match-up.
It means that he is a thoughtful person. If he had not seen through Jiang Yanhui's attitude, he would not be so positive. This is telling me that there is no problem for Jiang Yanhui to return there. But...he can obviously say this to the prince.
, why do you have to convey it through Li Zhi’s mouth? Does this kid have some thoughts about Li Zhi?”
Xin Nian suddenly remembered that when he heard Yaya's voice and rushed over, Zhao Chu was bowing and apologizing to Yaya. He called her Sister Litchi with saliva and begged her not to blame her.
Combined with today's strange situation, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Lizhi is two or three years older than him, and he is a slave. Even if he removes his slave status, he will never be able to reach a high position. If you want to be his concubine, that's not possible. It's better to have a wife like me.
If you were like Liao Jiaru, wouldn't you wait to be killed? No, no, no."
"What's wrong? I saw you shaking your head like a rattle at the door."
Gu Changting's voice came from the door. Xin Nian stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Why are you here at this time? Have you finished handling the matters outside?"
"It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival and there's nothing going on, so I came here to take a look."
Xin Nian knew that it was because he had just taken over the warehouse, so he was afraid that the people in the house would deliberately dissatisfy in order to please Concubine Liao and Mrs. Liao, so they came here to support him, because he smiled and said: "It's okay, it's rare to steal half a day's leisure in Fusheng, just in time
The good tea you gave me yesterday, I brewed a pot when I got up, you can try it."
The two were drinking tea, and Gu Changting asked her what was wrong again. Xin Nian told her about the litchi, and finally sneered: "I think this Zhao Chu is too thoughtful."
He's a little more lively. What he's telling you is why he went out of his way to provoke Li Zhi. He has some bad intentions. You'd better warn him. Don't think that because you are a romantic and talented man, you have to take advantage of a girl, even if it means
I don’t want Litchi to be her concubine either.”
Gu Changting coughed, rubbed the tea cup in his hand, and said softly: "If you don't want to be a concubine, then... what if you become a real wife?"
"Real wife?"
Not on."
Gu Changting nodded and said: "I also think that boy is crazy. But... love at first sight is not impossible in this world, don't you think so?"
Xin Nian looked at him with a half-smile but not a smile, stuffed a cherry into his mouth, and said leisurely: "I feel that 99% of the love at first sight in your men's mouths is due to lust."
Gu Changting chewed the cherry and argued incoherently: "Then Zhao Chu may be the remaining one."
Xin Nian looked Gu Changting up and down, and suddenly frowned and said, "Why are you so enthusiastic about Zhao Chu if you don't discuss the marriage of the third sister with me? Is there something you are hiding from me?"
"How could it be? I just said it casually." Gu Changting spit out the cherry stone and thought to himself: Zhao Chu, you can either wait for your name on the gold list; or you can work hard on your own. I can't guarantee whether you will get beaten.
I can only help you so far.
*******************
"It rained a few times after the Dragon Boat Festival this year, and it rained two or three more times between the Hungry Ghost Festival and now. It looks like this year will be a good harvest, right?"
"What does it matter whether we have a good harvest here or not? What matters is the south. Haven't you heard that if Huguang is cooked, the world will have enough?"
"You can't say that. Could it be that the people here are having a hard time? If there is a good harvest, they will be richer, right?"
Xin Nian and Aunt Qiu, Aunt Gu, went to the concubine's courtyard to pay their respects. They met on the way. Although they wished each other would die, they both pretended to be harmonious and chatted with each other.
