After walking into an arched door and about to lose sight of Lanxiang Pavilion, Li Rulan couldn't help but glance sideways at the place where she once lived, but her eyes were filled with fear.
Only then did she dare to reveal her true feelings.
Li Shoude noticed Li Rulan's glance back and thought she wanted to live back in her former courtyard, so he asked aloud: "Does Rulan like that courtyard very much?"
Li Rulan was startled by Li Shoude's voice, and quickly retracted her frightened eyes, replacing them with a calm look.
It was the place where she had lived for nearly eighteen years. It had her favorite orchid, how could she not like it.
But until that day, she watched a living person die in front of her.
The blood stained her orchids red, which not only made her fear the place where she once lived, but also made her afraid to like orchids again.
She understood why Li Shoude asked her that. Now that Li Shoude wanted something from her, as long as she said she liked it, Li Shoude would definitely let her go back there.
But she still had lingering fears about that place, so how could she dare to go back and live there again.
After thinking about it, Li Rulan decided not to go back there.
She was about to say she didn't like it, but at this moment, she suddenly thought of Li Ruyan's cold snort before leaving.
Yes, that was the yard where she once lived.
Even if she doesn't want to live there anymore, she can't let Li Ruyan, who harmed her, live there comfortably.
Didn't Li Ruyan always want to occupy that courtyard, but she refused to let Li Ruyan get his wish.
Thinking of this, Li Rulan deliberately showed a sad expression: "Brother, what are you talking about? I have been kicked out of the house by you, and now I am married to a woman, how dare I like it again."
As she said this, she looked back in the direction of Lanxiang Pavilion, her expression filled with sadness and reluctance, her tone filled with humility and cowardice.
Xiao Niannian was impressed by her mother's acting skills. At this moment, she heard a small sound of footsteps approaching.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked in the direction of the footsteps, then turned her head back as if nothing had happened.
Since some people also want to come to the show, let them enjoy it.
My mother’s acting skills are so superb, it’s a pity that only she and Li Shoude can watch it.
Now that there is another audience, it is naturally better.
Anyway, if anyone dares to find fault with my mother for these things, she promises to make those people regret it.
On Li Shoude's side, looking at Li Rulan's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
Thinking that his affairs had not been settled, he thought for a moment and said: "If Lan Mo wants to say that again, we misunderstood you and kicked you out. Now that you have returned to the Li family, you will naturally live in your home again."
The original courtyard. Behind the Lanxiang Pavilion is the garden, with all kinds of plum blossoms vying for beauty. The scenery is very beautiful. I think my sister will be happier if she lives in it."
"Really?" Li Rulan raised her head in surprise, but then she thought of something and lowered her head silently.
"But if I live in it, what will she do? I want her to know that I occupy her yard. She will resent me. You also know her temper..."
"He dares!" Li Shoude said in a deep voice, "I will find a time today to tell Ruyan and ask her to move out. How can we live in such a big house without her? Rulan, don't worry, she is alone
A divorced woman has no right to wallow in our house. As long as I am here, she will not dare to have any resentment against you. What's more, it was your yard in the first place, and it was she who occupied it. If she had occupied it back then,
If it weren't for her, you wouldn't..."
At this point, Li Shoude suddenly realized something and quickly shut up and said no more.
And Li Rulan had already guessed his next words.
What he wanted to say was that if it hadn't been for Li Ruyan, she, Li Rulan, would not have been kicked out of the house.
Li Rulan did not ask why anymore, but turned towards Li Shoude.
"Then Ru Lan would like to thank my brother in advance."
"Ru Lan, you're too polite. After all, it was your boudoir there, and you should go back if you want to." Li Shoude gave him a hand and said hesitantly, "There's just one more thing..."
Li Rulan once again guessed what Li Shoude wanted to say next, but she still asked calmly: "Brother, what else can I do? But it doesn't matter."
"Then I told you, do you still remember Yulian Rulan?"
Seeing that Li Rulan didn't answer, Li Shoude said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "It's Yulian who was imprisoned in the Yamen for insulting and slandering you a few days ago."
Xiao Niannian's ears have been quietly listening to the movements of the eavesdroppers.
After Li Shoude told what happened to Li Yulian, she clearly heard the gasps of the eavesdroppers.
Xiao Niannian showed a meaningful smile. It seemed that except for Li Shoude who was talking to his mother, no one else in the Li family knew that Li Yulian was imprisoned.
No wonder, she felt a little strange before.
When she and her mother returned to the Li family, no one mentioned Li Yulian's matter, and Li Yulian's mother Zhang didn't come to trouble their family because of this matter.
The original reason is because I don’t know anything.
Now that the eavesdropper knows, I think it won't be long before everyone in the house will know.
Looks like there's fun again~
Thinking of Li Yulian, Li Rulan deliberately grimaced.
"I wonder why my brother mentioned Yulian? She deliberately slandered our family that day and almost gave my husband a meal. Now that I think about it, I still have lingering fears."
"Alas..." Li Shoude sighed and bowed to Li Rulan.
"It turns out that my father has failed to discipline me well. I am here to apologize to you on behalf of Yulian."
"When Rulan and you left home, Yulian was almost five years old, and you almost watched Yulian grow up. What happened that day was that she was wrong. She shouldn't have uttered arrogant words to you, my aunt, but she still
Please Ru Lan, for the sake of her youth and her family, please help me plead with Magistrate Xu to release Yu Lian as soon as possible, can you?"
"This..." Li Rulan sneered in her heart, but her face looked particularly embarrassed.
Li Shoude has been thinking about trying to please her recently, but today he finally remembered the daughter in prison.
Seeing Li Rulan's hesitant expression, Li Shoude quickly continued: "Because of Yulian's matter, I asked to see Magistrate Xu several times, but he refused to see me every time. Instead, he asked me to come and beg you, saying that he only wanted yours.
Only if he forgives her will he consider mitigating Yulian's crime.
"Rulan, please help me for my sake! I know you are resentful because of the past, but I promise that I will make it up to you in the future. As long as you have any request in the future, I will definitely
It will satisfy you!”
"Oh? Really?" Li Rulan asked a little worriedly, "Brother, you may be true to your word. What if I promise you in the first place, but you break your promise later and treat me badly?"
"Ru Lan, if you are not at ease, I will swear in front of you!" Li Shoude said, raising his hand high and swearing to the sky with his index and middle fingers together.
"I, Li Shoude, swear that I will be kind to Ru Lan in the future and make up for the mistakes I made in the past. If not, I will die a good death!"
"Crack!" At this moment, a thunder suddenly exploded in the cloudless sky, which made Li Shoude tremble all over and almost fall to the ground. This chapter has been completed!
