After eating, Li Tiezhu hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, boiled water in the pot again, and then went out with a pheasant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Shi Lan leaned against the courtyard gate and pursed her lips as she watched his back disappear into the night, he should be able to meet Li Chunni this time, right?
She also wanted to know what Li Chunni would do.
You know, she has been imperceptibly talking to Li Tiezhu little by little since she got up in the morning, although the time is a bit short, but she believes that Li Tiezhu will not be moved by Li Chunni, at least not this time.
The moon gradually climbed up the treetops, Shi Lan lit candles, sat under the lamp and mended the torn clothes that Li Tiezhu had scratched when he went out today.
When Li Tiezhu came back, he happened to see her gentle and graceful shadow reflected in the window, and at that moment his heart was calm and peaceful, as if a child who had traveled far away had found the warmth of home.
Li Tiezhu stood there and watched quietly for a while before pushing open the door and walking in, "Put these things away first, it's too eye-consuming to do needlework at night." ā
Shi Lan glanced up at him, rubbed his sour neck, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are a few small holes here, I have patched them up, and I won't be able to see them when I wash them tomorrow." ā
Li Tiezhu looked at Shi Lan's still somewhat pale face, remembered what had just happened, and suddenly said: "Aunt Cuihua's daughter is also sick, saying that she fell into the river and caught a cold. ā
Shi Lan lowered her head and sewed the last stitch in the light, and bit the thread off with her teeth, "That's a coincidence, I also fell into the river and got hot." ā
Li Tiezhu's face flashed with a cloudy and uncertain look, and in an instant, he became firm and frank again, "It's not a coincidence, daughter-in-law, she was the one who pushed you down the river yesterday." ā
"Who?" Shi Lan looked at him confusedly, "You said Aunt Cuihua's daughter?" I don't know her, why would she want to hurt me? ā
Li Tiezhu's tall body stiffened, and a flash of red flashed on his dark face very quickly, "Because ......"
He hesitated for a moment, couldn't say why, and finally simply closed his eyes and said loudly: "Because she regrets being Liu Gongzi's concubine, she wants to come back and live with me." ā
Shi Lan's eyes widened suddenly, and she raised her voice in disbelief, "Just for this, she is going to kill me, she is going to kill our children?" ā
"Yes," Li Tiezhu replied in a low voice, his tone full of weakness.
"And what do you mean?" Shi Lan put down the clothes in his hand, sat up straight, and looked up at him with a serious face.
Li Tiezhu dodged and didn't look at Shi Lan's eyes, and only said after a while: "I'...... I hit her, telling her that I wouldn't be nice to her, and that she wasn't allowed to trouble you again. ā
Shi Lan looked at him fixedly, without saying a word, and felt a burst of breath in his heart.
Xu is her eyes were too oppressive, Li Tiezhu's head drooped lower and lower, and Shi Lan could only see the top of his black thick hair and his tight chin.
"Daughter-in-law, when I was a child, I was hunting in the woods and was bitten by a poisonous snake, Chunni saved my life, I ......"
After a long time, Li Tiezhu stumbled and said the reason, "I know that if you do this, you must feel uncomfortable, and I am ashamed of you two," he peeked at her, and called her pitifully, "Daughter-in-law......"
He wanted to tell her that the person he believed in his heart was her, and he felt that he had leveled himself with Chunni now, and he would never let people bully her again in the future, but this time he would wronged her.
These words turned around in his heart a few times, but looking at Shi Lan's swarthy and sparkling eyes, Li Tiezhu couldn't open his mouth no matter what.
Shi Lan looked at him pitifully and looked at herself, knowing that this matter couldn't be pushed too hard, but she was unwilling to let him go so cheaply.
"It's not impossible to settle the matter this time, she saved your life, and now I will give her two lives, which is more than enough," Shi Lan paused at this point, and her eyes became worried, "It's just that since that Chunni dared to do something that harmed my life once, there was a second time." If she does something to hurt me and the child in the future, what do you say? ā
Li Tiezhu looked at Shi Lan's black and white eyes with unconcealable panic, and then looked at her willow-like waist, gritted his teeth, and a ruthless color quickly slipped in his eyes, "Daughter-in-law, don't worry, if she dares to move half of your fingers in the future, I will never let her go if I risk my life, and I will not let you be wronged again." ā
Shi Lan smiled slightly, turned around and went to spread the futon, although he didn't say anything, his attitude was obviously to believe him.
Li Tiezhu saw that she let herself go so gently, and in addition to being a little incredulous, he also felt more affirmation of being trusted by those close to him, and for a while he really had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
After turning off the lights, Li Tiezhu looked sideways at Shi Lan, who was lying flat next to him, for a while, and suddenly leaned over, leaned his head against Shi Lan's ear, and said in a low voice: "Daughter-in-law, thank you." ā
Shi Lan closed her eyes without moving, Li Tiezhu saw that she didn't move, suddenly raised his head and kissed her on the cheek, and then without waiting for Shi Lan to react, the person shrank into the quilt all of a sudden, and refused to show his head again.
Shi Lan raised his eyes and looked at Li Tiezhu, who was wrapped in a ball, and secretly laughed in his heart, no matter how mature he looked, he was only a seventeen or eighteen boy. Forget it, some things should be done slowly.
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, Shi Lan's stomach had swelled slightly, Li Tiezhu was much tighter about her, she was only allowed to walk around the yard on weekdays, and after a long time, he hurriedly helped her to rest, for fear that she would be tired, not to mention the work of washing and carrying water and cooking, he would not let her get half a point. In his words, the daughter-in-law is weak and has to be raised well before she can have a fat son in the future.
Shi Lan was very helpless about what he did, and it didn't make sense to tell him, there was no way, she had to take advantage of his time to hunt to find something to do, but every time she found that Li Tiezhu had already finished what she wanted to do in advance, and even her lunch, Li Tiezhu did it before going out, just waiting for her to heat it up when she was hungry.
Shi Lan was happily distressed, but she was also happy to enjoy the feeling of being pampered by others.
At this time, Li Chunni, who was far away in the town, had fallen into the battle with Liu Gongzi's wives and concubines, and she was no longer as stupid as before. After coming and going, Liu Gongzi was actually interested in her, and he didn't let go of her until now, Li Chunni can now be said to be the best one in all his concubines.
Shi Lan has been waiting for Li Chunni's follow-up move, but after waiting for a month, except for hearing that she returned to the county, she has not heard any news from her, and over time, Shi Lan has also let go of this heart, anyway, Li Tiezhu is indifferent and disgusted when he mentions Li Chunni now, and she doesn't need to bother about this woman before giving birth.
