The rain hits the banana trees in front of the window.
Li Yan looked at the green color and smiled and said, "If a bad person has a conscience, will he still do evil?"
It is because they have no heart that they do evil things. Li Yan has seen too many such people in her past and present lives.
The old lady sighed and fell silent.
"Fortunately, there is an adult who makes the decision for Yan'er, so Yan'er can stand in front of the old lady with ease."
Li Yan shook the old lady's hand and said coquettishly, "So, old lady, can you please take Yan'er's face into consideration and forgive me this time?"
The old lady patted her hand and spoke softly, "As the parent official of He County, this is his responsibility. Yan'er doesn't need to take it to heart."
When she turned to face her son, the old lady's attitude changed again, "For Yan'er's sake, I'll spare you this time. If it happens again next time, I won't spare you."
"Save the child." Zhou Bi saw that his old mother no longer made things difficult for him, and he just stayed down and became a child.
He was also eager to please and behave well, so he personally squeezed the old lady's shoulders and beat her hands.
The old lady was not unreasonable, so she just said a few words in front of her son, not deliberately making things difficult for him.
Now that I see him serving me attentively, I feel happy in my heart.
After Zhou Bi beat him for a few times, the old lady said in disgust, "Okay, please stop beating me. This little girl can beat you better than you."
Zhou Bi, "..."
The old lady ignored his bitter face and said, "Yan'er said that she has to go to Xie Yu this morning, and she will be forbidden to speak again this time. Please come and have dinner with me."
The old lady has a poor appetite and eats lightly.
There is a large bowl of white porridge, two steamed buns, and some pickles on the table.
On weekdays, Li Yan also makes some easy-to-grasp meals for the elderly.
In the past few days, I have been busy praying for rain, and I have not paid attention to the old lady.
She thought that after praying for rain, she would try some new tricks and send some to the old lady, and also to Xiaochun and Grandma.
Then we will make some medicine and give the old lady a good health.
The old lady drank several mouthfuls of porridge, and when she saw that Zhou Bi was still shaking his head, she looked at him strangely, "Why are you still standing? Do you want me, an old lady, to invite me to you before you are willing to sit down?"
Zhou Bi felt uncomfortable being rejected by his old mother, so he didn't think about it.
Hearing this, he sat down with a wry smile.
When the old lady saw him being so obedient, her lips blossomed into a smile, and she thought to herself, this is just what he said.
Li Yan and Jin Jue covered their mouths and chuckled.
Zhou Bi, "..."
The son was brought in, so Li Yan is her mother's granddaughter, right?
He was talking and laughing with the little girl, but he felt disgusted when he saw him.
After all, he is also a parent official of the same place, and he doesn't know how to save some face for him in front of the little girl.
The little maid serving the dishes came forward and gave each of them a bowl of porridge.
Zhou Bi ate quietly with the old lady, while Li Yan joked with the old lady.
Tell us what you saw and heard after leaving the city, and tell interesting stories about the young monks in the temple.
The girl smiled sweetly and had flowers on her lips.
The old lady was so excited that she ate two bowls of porridge.
The old lady was happy to hear it, and Zhou Bi didn't want to mention something that was not there, which would dampen the old lady's interest.
With things in mind, Zhou Bi drank the porridge tastelessly, feeling full after just a few mouthfuls.
After finishing eating, Magistrate Zhou wiped his lips and said to the old lady, "There are still some things in the government office that need my son to deal with, so I won't disturb you, old man. I will talk to you when I have free time." The old lady waved to him,
Let people go.
Li Yan also stood up and said goodbye obediently.
The old lady told her son, "Take good care of Yan'er, and don't let anyone bully her."
Zhou Bi agreed in front of the old lady, thinking in his heart, he didn't know who was bullying whom?
The old lady took Li Yan and asked her to remember to go back and freshen up after thanking Yu, "Don't forget to eat as well. You should take good care of your body at a young age."
After the thank you ceremony, you will send two more people to safely send Yan'er back safely. If something goes wrong on the way, I will only ask you."
The old lady has an endless love for the little girl.
Zhou Bi nodded casually and reminded again, "Mother, it's almost time."
If we keep talking like this, there is no need to go to the thank you ceremony this morning, everyone will just arrange it.
Xie Yu was a big deal, so the old lady stopped nagging. She asked someone to go to the kitchen to bring a food box, asked Jin Jue to bring it with her, and asked her to take good care of Li Yan.
After leaving the house, Zhou Bi's suppressed anger finally burst out, "Li Yan, stop here and tell me honestly, where did you go last night?"
"You, a girl, go out in the middle of the night. Do you know the danger?"
"I see that if you don't commit suicide, you don't plan to stop, right?"
Zhou Bi raised his eyebrows with an angry look on his face.
He looked exactly like an old and frustrated father who had waited for his daughter for a long time all night but did not return.
Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed, "Sir, if you ask this, it will cause misunderstanding. People who don't know will think you are my father?"
Jin Jue chuckled.
The servant who held Zhou Bi's umbrella was surprised and happy.
Now in the family, not only does the old lady treat Miss Li as her own granddaughter, but their master also treats Miss Li as a member of his family?
Will they have another young master in their house?
The servant who got the first-hand information secretly thought that he should respect Miss Li even more in the future.
Zhou Bi flicked his sleeves and said, "Let me tell you something serious. What are you talking about? Who is your father?"
Who wants to be your father? "I'm not your father, and I don't have a daughter as old as you."
Zhou Bi denied it flatly, fearing that the little girl would take it seriously and climb up the pole to force her to admit her marriage to him, so he might as well die early and be reincarnated.
Without waiting for Li Yan to respond, Zhou Bi said categorically: "You should give up this feeling as soon as possible. I will never recognize you as my adopted daughter in this life."
"It's better if you don't have such thoughts, sir."
In contrast to Zhou Bi's impatience, Li Yan had a playful look on her face, "Sir, please remember what you said today. If you slap yourself in the mouth, your face will be very painful."
The magistrate really thinks too much about being his father.
Who cares about having a tool man as her father? Why not be alone? She couldn't bear to think about it, and she would put another layer of shackles on herself for nothing.
At this time, Zhou Bi had already lost his patience, "Stop arguing with me here. Are you going to Xingning County to see Taoist Master Fuyun?"
Li Yan looked at him with furrowed brows and dark eyes. She expected that the magistrate had not slept well all night after she left the city last night, which was why he was so angry.
I can't help but feel some sympathy for the old man. He is so pitiful. This time he was really frightened.
Li Yan didn't hide it from him anymore, and said in a low mood, "I went to Xingning County, but it's a pity that I didn't see anyone."
"Well, Li Yan, you did go to Xingning County after all."
His guess was correct, Li Yan went to Xingning County.
Things are finally clearing up a bit, but it's great that the little girl is out of sight, and I don't have to worry about her doing bad things anymore.
While Zhou Bi's whole body relaxed, the soles of his feet gave out and he almost slipped. He managed to steady his steps so as not to embarrass himself in front of the little girl.
"He obviously went to Xingning County, but he lied to the old lady and said that he was going to Dabei Temple to fulfill his vow."
"Do you always deceive the old lady like this on weekdays? Fortunately, the old lady treats you as her own granddaughter. Are you worthy of the old lady's good intentions?"
