Xiao Li paused, looked back, but he didn't expect it to be his mother-in-law, Xiao He.

Xiao He used to be the daughter of the largest family in Wucheng, not only has the wealth of the country, but also has connections, and it is because of her that Xiao Jingguo was able to recruit troops and buy horses, in the era of wars and independent affairs, step by step, and finally became the overseer of Wucheng at the age of twenty-five.

For Xiao He's family, supporting her husband's career is the glory of her life, and it is precisely because she puts the overall situation first that Xiao Li is allowed to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors - after all, Xiao Jingguo needs an heir. Regardless of whether this heir was born to her or not, as long as the surname is Xiao, it is enough.

Xiao Jingguo and Feng Ling's love back then was unexpected for her.

She thought that she had given everything for Xiao Jingguo, and even in order to consolidate his position in Wucheng, she divided the power of the family with a trick, and she turned against her parents because of this. She has never regretted what she did, because for her, Xiao Jingguo is her heaven and the destination of her life.

But when she gave everything, Xiao Jingguo fell in love with a woman who sang opera, and for her, he wanted to give up himself. That was the first time that Xiao He did not agree with Xiao Jingguo, and even quarreled with him regardless of his image, and finally his daughter fell down the stairs and broke her neck.

This incident is a thorn buried in Xiao He's heart, and it is also the pain of her life.

If it weren't for Feng Ling, her daughter wouldn't have died. Although in exchange for Feng Ling taking Xiao Li incognito, he vowed not to meet Xiao Jingguo again, but the price was still too great.

When Xiao Li was arrested by Xiao Jingguo and put in the cell, Feng Ling came to beg her, she didn't want to take care of it, but after thinking about it, Xiao Jingguo has no children, and she is too old and decrepit to have children, in the near future, I am afraid that not only one Feng Ling, but three or five Feng Ling want to enter the door, and she will not be able to stop her. It's better to take advantage of Feng Ling's guilt against her and force her to leave.

She successfully forced Feng Ling away, left Xiao Li, and made Xiao Li her nominal son. Although she doesn't like this son, especially whenever she sees him, she thinks of the woman Fengling and her dead daughter!

Although he hates it very much, how rational is Xiao He's family? Even if you don't like Xiao Li anymore, you still have to do face work.

When dealing with Xiao Li, she is always stereotypical and dead, with a hint of disgust and alienation.

Seeing that it was Xiao He's, Xiao Li was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a calm tone, "Mother, do you have something to do with me?" ”

Xiao He was standing in the shadow on the inside of the gate at this time, and his body was an improved dark green gold velvet long cheongsam, because his figure was too thin, the waist of the cheongsam hung loosely on his body, which did not seem to fit very well. Seeing Xiao Li turn around, she seemed to be very cold, tightened the fox fur shawl on her body, looked at Xiao Li and said expressionlessly: "Today is your birthday, I held a party in the evening, don't forget to participate." ”

Speaking of his birthday, Xiao Li has indeed forgotten everything. After all, he has been dealing with Wu Wenjun's affairs recently, and he has no time to catch his breath when he is busy.

"Thank you, Mother." Xiao Li nodded to Xiao He, showing a rare faint smile.

I didn't want Xiao He's face to change suddenly, his eyes were full of disgust, and he seemed to feel that he was about to vomit even after a little more look, so he turned around quickly, and left Xiao Li's sight without looking back.

Xiao Li, who was standing at the gate of the Overseer's Mansion, quietly waited for Xiao He to turn the corner and could no longer see it, then turned around and slowly walked down the stairs.

When I looked up, I happened to see Tan Yi leaning on the car with his chest crossed, looking at himself with a smile.

"You're idle?"

"Of course it's free! Wu Wenjun was arrested, and our Xiao Sanshao's mood suddenly brightened, and I think my life will be a lot more leisurely. ”

"If you're free, send me to Fengqing Xiaozhu!"

After Wu Wenjun was arrested, Zheng Qingyun and Feng Siniang went back to their courtyard, they were too busy two days ago to have time to pass, so they could go and see them at this time.

Xiao Li is idle here, but Zheng Qingyun and Feng Siniang are busy over there.

Earlier, Feng Siniang originally asked Zheng Qingyun to go to a foreign restaurant to try dishes, and planned to wait until Xiao Li's birthday to invite him to dinner, but he didn't want to meet the surname Zhou who stirred up the matter of trying dishes, and then he didn't have time to go, and now Zheng Qingyun was reborn after the catastrophe, Feng Siniang decided to be happy and celebrate.

Totaling with Zheng Qingyun, going to the restaurant to eat, flashy, it is better to set a table in Fengqing Xiaozhu.

Zheng Qingyun has always been grateful to Xiao Li, and she has been helped by him many times but has not had a chance to repay her, so she immediately agreed to Feng Siniang's proposal.

Although the suggestion was made by Feng Siniang, she was just a trick, she didn't know how to cook at all, and all the tasks were handed over to Zheng Qingyun, but she ended up relaxed.

When Xiao Li and Tan Yi arrived at Fengqing Xiaozhu, Feng Siniang was sitting in the courtyard with a chair basking in the sun and eating melon seeds.

Seeing Xiao Li, Feng Siniang hurriedly put the melon seeds into the fruit bowl, patted off the floating ash on her hand, got up and said with a smile: "You came early as you came, I just said that I was going to call you over!" ”

Tan Yi snorted, salivating, "What smell?" So fragrant? ”

Feng Siniang laughed: "It's sauce elbow, how is it?" ”

"Wow, my favorite sauce elbow!" As soon as Tan Yi heard the food, he immediately showed his greed, as if he had escaped from the hunger prison.

Xiao Li couldn't help but have a black line, wouldn't this guy be too exaggerated? However, the aroma wafting from the small kitchen does smell very fragrant, and the aroma of meat and sauce is very tempting.

He looked left and right, but didn't see Zheng Qingyun, and hurriedly asked, "Is Qingyun cooking?" ”

"Naturally, it's her, is it possible that we can afford to hire a master master with a tall building?" Feng Siniang smiled like silk, and hooked her finger at Tan Yi, "Boy, come with me to carry a table!" ”

Tan Yi, who was grabbing a handful of melon seeds and knocking them with relish, immediately broke down and smiled bitterly when he heard this, pointing at himself: "I look like a coolie?" ”

Feng Siniang was unceremoniously shocked at him, and pretended to smile viciously: "Hurry up, boy, don't grind!" ”

Xiao Li glanced at the two of them, turned his steps, and walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen is a little hot because of the fire. This stove is somewhat large, divided into two stoves, on which two cauldrons are shelved. One of the cauldrons had a tight lid, and from time to time there was heat rising from the cracks in the lid, while in the other cauldron was a bunch of green and pleasant green vegetables, which were stirring under the spatula held by Zheng Qingyun, and kept flying in the country.

Zheng Qingyun's hair next to the stove was loosely tied behind his head, he rolled up his sleeves and kept stir-frying domestic vegetables, the beads of sweat on his forehead rolled down his red cheeks from time to time, and he was covered with a linen-colored apron, splashed with dots of sauce and vegetable soup.

It looks no different from an ordinary woman, but it makes Xiao Li feel extra warm.

Seeing her raise her hand to wipe her sweat with her sleeve, Xiao Li couldn't help but walk over, took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it over.

Zheng Qingyun turned around in surprise, saw Xiao Li, and immediately smiled, "You're here?" ”
