The sudden words froze the movements of the hands of the couple at the dinner table like a cold current.

His throat was almost stuck with a fish bone, so Situ Xi held his head on the table and coughed a few times.

Seeing this, Zhong Lixin immediately picked up the cup and handed it to his mouth to let him take a sip of water. He patted his back with one hand and glared at Qing Yu beside him with a rosy face.

"Ah..." Qingyu suddenly reacted and covered her mouth with her hands.

She just thought that moving to a new environment was very similar to when she got married, and then she thought that the young lady and her uncle never seemed to have a real bridal chamber, but unexpectedly she said what she was thinking casually.

"Slave... This slave has eaten enough. Suddenly he remembered that water was boiled just now. I will go and have a look first, and I will come back soon to clean up the dishes!"

Seeing both of them looking at her, Qingyu smiled sheepishly, then put the pair of wooden chopsticks in her hands gently on the table, turned around and ran out in a hurry.

Qingyu really dared to say anything, and Situ Xi finally understood this at this moment.

After the girl left, the two remaining people in the dining room suddenly fell silent for a while. The atmosphere was really subtle.

What Qingyu just said was actually a topic that Situ Xi had been avoiding. He didn't know what Zhongli Min was thinking, but he had a lot of worries in his heart.

He is a normal person who sleeps with such a beautiful wife like Zhong Limin every night. It would be a lie to say that he has no distracting thoughts in his heart.

But this matter is very important to Zhongli Min, and his future path is a bit unclear. This is not hypocritical, but he still has the so-called sense of responsibility in his heart.

Thinking back to the first words I heard when I came into this world, Zhongli Min's light voice seemed to still be in my ears.

"Respect, prudence, and integrity before kissing each other are the general principles of etiquette. This is how the distinction between men and women is established and the righteousness of husband and wife is established."

All her choices seemed to be based on etiquette. Perhaps many things seemed to her to be natural, but Situ Xi always felt that emotion and etiquette were different. This was a cognitive difference.

But these are Situ Xi's personal opinions. In the final analysis, you still have to listen to her true thoughts.

Thinking of this, when he saw no one around, he turned his head and looked at Zhongli Zhen beside him.

"Madam..."

"Ms. sir, it's getting late. I'm tired today. I'll go boil some water and prepare for bathing and washing."

Unexpectedly, just when Situ Xi opened his mouth, Zhong Lixin interrupted him with a very fast speech, then turned away and tidied his skirt shyly, and hurriedly walked out the door.

Boil water again? Didn’t Qingyu also boil water just now?

…

That night, Situ Xi took a shower and changed clothes. He went to the inner room early and lay on the bed. A candle lamp was burning hard on the table, and the flame did not waver at all.

It seemed to be raining outside, and only some soft pattering could be heard.

Sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently, spring rain is indeed like this.

Thinking about what happened in the past two days in his mind, Situ Xi was sorting out his thoughts.

What happened to Xu Yilin yesterday was most likely framed. Zhong Liyi's appearance was timely and coincidental, and Xu Yilin's frightened expression at the time didn't seem to be fake.

However, this matter was directed at Xu Yilin, and his own motives were not pure, so it was not something he should worry about.

Let's take Mr. Fan to the Duke Huaiming's Mansion tomorrow. After completing the things promised to others, we can talk to Mr. Fan about the future cooperation.

If you can get the support of such a wealthy travel businessman, it will be easier to do many things...

Light footsteps sounded from outside the inner room door, covering up the faint chirping of insects outside the window. Zhong Lizhen walked into the room wearing a light gauze plain dress, but the white dress was not as fair as her skin.

Naturally sculpted, she looks extremely fresh after bathing.

Without saying a word, she walked to the bed with gentle steps, took off her outer single garment and hung it on the beech wood hanger at the head of the bed, and sat down next to the quilt nimbly.

"Ms. sir, what are you thinking about?"

"I'm thinking of meeting my father-in-law tomorrow." Situ Xi looked at her, then picked up a corner of the quilt and put it on her legs, "It seems to be raining and a little cold."

"Do you need me to accompany you? My father has a weird temperament..."

"No, that's what he told me in his previous letter, and didn't my brother-in-law also invite me to his house yesterday? It'll be fine."

Hearing Situ Xi's answer, Zhongli nodded in surprise, and the room fell into silence for a moment, with only the wax oil still overflowing into the lamp.

After a long time.

"Mr...Mr. Gong, what do you think about Qing Yu's words just now..." Zhong Li did not dare to look at Situ Xi, and her voice was a little thin when she said this.

This... Situ Xi was startled, and he felt that something was starting to go wrong in the surrounding atmosphere.

"Ah, is it that question? The flowers will be better next year... It's about another thing. I'm not rejecting this thing. After all... it's just that the house before was poor. I hope it's at least better..."

Situ Xi's words were incoherent, but because Zhongli's stunned face got closer after every sentence he said, he was rarely a little flustered. He was actually not very good at dealing with such situations.

"Ms. sir, you really don't understand poetry." Zhongli looked at him and said softly, "I don't have the wings of a colorful phoenix, but I have a clear understanding... We are husband and wife, it's only a matter of time."

These words made Situ Xi calm down. He looked at her seriously and sighed.

"Not sooner or later, but now, at this moment. What do you think?"

"At this moment..." Zhongli bit his lips lightly.

…

It seems that the spring rain does not moisturize things silently. The rain curtain in the dark night becomes denser, and the noisy sound of rain fills every corner of Xuan'an City.

At this moment, Situ Xi remembered the decisive expression of his wife when she had her hair cut off that day, as well as her tough attitude when confronting the Mi family.

She is not a weak woman without her own opinion, she is independent, brave and has her own ideas.

The spring breeze blew away the candlelight for everyone in the house.

it is more than words.
