Zhao Wuyou took Li Lezhi to Zuixian Tower, and the two of them entered the best-furnished box, but Zhao Wuyou still did not let go of Li Lezhi's hand, for fear that she would run away.
Steaming meals were served one after another, there were new charcoal glowing red in the four corners of the room, and two orchids that were difficult to grow grew in the warm room.
"Can you let go of me? I promise not to leave, okay?" Li Lezhi whispered, without stopping, he kept pushing Zhao Wuyou.
"That won't work." Zhao Wuyou pulled her forcefully, sat her on his lap, picked up a piece of winter bamboo shoots with chopsticks and put it to her mouth.
"Let me go, otherwise I'll be really angry." Li Lezhi turned away, not accepting Zhao Wuyou's kindness at all.
"Okay, if you don't want to eat, I will."
Zhao Wuyou no longer forced her, and he picked up food and drank wine alone, with Li Lezhi in his arms.
Banban, who was at the table, was also busy chewing on his two big elbows, not even looking at Zhao Wuyou.
Li Lezhi couldn't get away, and her words were not accepted. She felt wronged and could only lower her head and cry. Having grown so big, she was rarely bullied. Even if her relatives and friends around her didn't dare to contact her, they didn't dare to say anything to her face.
No, I don't dare to embarrass her, but Zhao Wuyou doesn't accept this trick at all.
It had only been a few days, but Zhao Wuyou had already been so unreasonable twice, and it was almost routine to bully her.
"Gululu"
Li Lezhi struggled and cried for a long time, but finally his stomach couldn't bear it and betrayed her.
"Puch!" Zhao Wuyou didn't say much, picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish and handed it to her mouth:
"Why are you so stubborn? Is there anyone in this world who is a better match than the two of us? If you are so resistant, is it possible that you are really interested in someone?"
Li Lezhi didn't speak, her disappointed tears fell on Zhao Wuyou's hand, silently telling her inner grievances.
After a while, Zhao Wuyou saw that she still didn't eat what he put to her mouth, so he ate it himself and took a sip of wine.
"If you don't want to eat the food I gave you today, don't even think about leaving. If you are willing to eat, I will let you go."
"Really?" Li Lezhi finally found a way to leave Zhao Wuyou, so he turned his head excitedly and looked at Zhao Wuyou with eyes that were red and swollen from crying.
A piece of fish meat was put into Li Lezhidao's mouth, and Zhao Wuyou happily fed her the food. He would take a sip of wine from time to time, and the heated room became more ambiguous.
Maybe Zhao Wuyou did too much today, and Li Lezhi's father soon found out about him embracing Li Lezhi.
The housekeeper of the Li Mansion quickly led the servants and guards to the Zuixian Tower in a menacing manner.
The door of the box was forcibly pushed open. At this time, Li Lezhi happened to be let go by Zhao Wuyou. He stood up alone and was about to leave, but was startled by the housekeeper of his own house outside the door.
When the housekeeper saw that his lady's clothes were not damaged and she was standing dignifiedly at the table, her anxiety improved.
He looked at Zhao Wuyou sitting at the table, with a red face and looking at him drunkenly. This posture clearly indicated that he had drunk too much.
The housekeeper was not polite either. He walked up angrily and said to Li Lezhi:
"Miss, today I heard that you were kidnapped by a libertine, and asked me to come find you."
When he spoke, his eyes were fixed on the drunken Zhao Wuyou. If there were no other people around, he would probably want to stab Zhao Wuyou directly with a knife.
Li Lezhi turned her head and looked at Zhao Wuyou shyly. When Zhao Wuyou raised his eyes, she turned her head nervously.
"Butler Liu, let's go home."
Her taking the lead made it difficult for the housekeeper who originally wanted to attack Zhao Wuyou to say anything. He could only glare at him with his cloudy eyes and led his men downstairs majestically.
Zhao Wuyou followed behind them, stood up unsteadily, walked out of the box, and shouted to Li Lezhi who was about to walk out of the restaurant:
"Miss Li, please calculate the cost of the drinks. I was in a hurry today and forgot to bring the money."
Li Lezhi, who was downstairs, paused when he heard the sound, then told his subordinates and left without looking back.
Liu, the steward of the Li Mansion, was paying Zhao Wuyou's bill with a displeased look on his face. Before leaving, he glared at him again.
Zhao Wuyou happily walked out of the restaurant and took another five hundred thousand taels of silver from Mu Lu.
After being made such a fuss by himself, no one in the capital knew that the queen's niece was attracted by him and was held in his arms in public.
It was useless for Li Lezhi to try to explain now, but Zhao Wuyou also felt that she would not explain to her family, at least not to everyone with an accusatory tone.
Winter was getting dark very quickly. Zhao Wuyou walked into a courtyard he had secretly set up in the dark of night. He was so cunning that he didn't even know how many such spare courtyards he had set up in the capital.
Zhao Wuyou, who returned home safely, did not expect that Li Lezhi would be in a completely different situation when he returned home.
Father Li sat on the chair and looked at Li Lezhi without saying a word. The latter looked at the food in front of him without saying a word, and the shyness of being with Zhao Wuyou disappeared from his face.
"Lezhi, what's going on between you and that Zhao Wuyou? Why is everyone in the capital spreading rumors about you two? Tell me, is this true?"
Already on guard, she shook her head:
"Zhao Wuyou was angry because of the incident on Wangyou Street, so he deliberately treated me like this. If you are like those people who don't know what's going on, then you will lose."
"Really?" Father Li looked at Li Lezhi happily. He didn't want his daughter to be with a playboy like Zhao Wuyou, even if no one dared to marry this daughter and she was a well-known broom star.
"Of course it's true. That Zhao Wuyou has a bohemian nature, so naturally I won't fall in love with him." Li Lezhi said impatiently:
"Should we have dinner? I've been bored all day. Don't you want to eat? If you don't, I'll eat."
Seeing that his daughter really didn't take Zhao Wuyou seriously, Father Li nodded excitedly and invited the rest of the family to eat together.
At Nuo Da's dining table, there were two empty seats on both sides of Li Lezhi. Even her closest relatives could not avoid her.
Returning to the room in the evening, Li Lezhi dismissed his maid and combed his hair alone in the mirror, but he was thinking about what Zhao Wuyou said to her in the restaurant today.
"If you can really do it, I believe that if you just talk about it, I will never have anything to do with it from now on." After Li Lezhi said the harsh words, he lay on the bed and prepared to rest, but she shut up.
Above the eyes, it's Zhao Wuyou's face with a bad smile.
Touching her face gently, Li Lezhi could even feel the blazing heat when Zhao Wuyou kissed her. For a moment, she blushed again.
Also not asleep was Princess Feng Yuxue. As soon as she returned to the palace today, she sent her cronies to inquire about the lively places in the capital.
When it was learned that Zhao Wuyou had been carrying Li Lezhi for half an hour, and that the two of them had lingered and ate together in the restaurant for an hour, all this information revealed that the relationship between the two was extraordinary.
Everyone knew that Feng Yuxue hated Zhao Wuyou, even she believed in it. But when Zhao Wuyou hugged another woman, she felt a more complex emotion than hatred in her heart.
"This bastard, why is it so annoying? Why does he just refuse to be honest? I can stop hearing from him... Why does he hug Li Lezhi, a well-known broom star...
..”
Early the next morning, Zhao Wuyou practiced all morning as usual. He put on clean clothes and started looking for a suitable house in the capital.
As he didn't have enough money to help him find a construction workshop before, Xing Yuqiang was also summoned.
The three of them were looking for houses in places where dignitaries gathered in the capital, and found out who had houses for sale.
"Young Master Wuyou, you are so elusive on weekdays, why are you looking for the big courtyard this time instead of the big address of the workshop?" He said with some confusion because he didn't have enough money.
Zhao Wuyou, who was checking in a courtyard, shook his head and said:
"I still want to build a workshop, but I feel a little disgusted with running around recently. I want to settle down and find some people to protect myself. I don't want to be like yesterday, being assassinated by a group of people and having to protect myself by myself."
"That's it?" Xing Yuqiang didn't believe it.
Zhao Wuyou smiled. Of course, he couldn't say that he made a bet with Li Lezhi to live like a normal person, stop being mysterious, and stop drinking flower wine.
"Let's go, the next house, this one won't work,"
As a top figure in the capital, Zhao Wuyou's every move was concerned about the ambitions of those powerful people. But this time, the subordinates felt baffled.
The dignified playboy Zhao Wuyou actually started to change his past habit of drinking flower wine and started looking for a house in the capital. He even passed by the dance studio three times without entering. He was even more of a gentleman than those hypocrites in the Imperial Academy.
It's over. The dandies in the capital have lost their idol. The once top dandy has turned into a disgusting, decent gentleman. This is simply unforgivable!
Everyone was kept in the dark, but only Li Lezhi knew it in her heart. She didn't expect that Zhao Wuyou would actually listen to her and stop drinking flower wine. Even though he was still a bit dandy, he was much better than before.
"What should I do? I'm so panicked. Zhao Wuyou seems to have really made up his mind to marry me, wuwu." Li Lezhi covered his head under the quilt, thinking about how to deal with it with a worried look on his face, but the corner of his mouth seemed to be disobedient.
