Chapter 17 What is the purpose of the third lady's return to Beijing?

The fluttering words were like a poisoned dagger gently inserted into the heart, and they were maliciously stirred twice.

Su Li opened her mouth and poured a breath of cold air into her throat, but she couldn't say a word to refute it.

She is no longer the third lady of Shangshu Mansion who others are vying to marry, she is just a broken flower and a willow, how can she compare to the people around Xiaoyaohou?

Recognizing the current situation, Su Li didn't let herself be too embarrassed, and lowered her eyebrows and responded: "Master Hou is reasonable, I have transgressed." ”

After speaking, he wanted to continue to massage Chu Huai'an, but Chu Huai'an threw him away.

"Go find some ointment to put on it yourself, don't stain your eyes!"

This person's tone was full of disgust, Su Li withdrew her hand, rubbed her wrist that was pinched red, and said kindly: "Yes, thank you Lord Hou for your concern." ”

“……”

Chu Huai'an rolled his eyes unceremoniously, grabbed the thin quilt and turned his back to Su Li, obviously not wanting to look at her anymore.

This person finally stopped asking her to run around, Su Li was happy to be quiet, and came to Sizhu's side to peel melon seeds quietly.

Only the slight sound of melon seed shells was left in the courtyard, quiet and beautiful, Chu Huai'an only lay down for a while and then tossed and turned, as if there were dozens of fleas on his body.

"Master Hou is unwell?" Sizhu asked nervously.

In a word, like triggering a switch, Chu Huaian sat up directly with a carp, Su Li's hand shook, and he almost didn't knock over the small half plate of melon seeds that had just been peeled.

"Hou ...... Master Hou, is something happening? ”

Sizhu was so frightened that her tongue was knotted, Chu Huai'an ignored her, stared at Su Li's hand, and said viciously: "Didn't you talk about your dead ghost husband all day long, how could he let your hand become like this?" ”

Chu Huai'an's anger came abruptly and inexplicably, Su Li was stunned for a moment, didn't understand why he was angry, and only calmly replied: "The deceased husband was born in a poor family, I have followed him all these years, although my life is poor, but I am also full and happy, and the frostbite on my hands is not a serious illness, and when the spring flowers bloom, I will return to normal." ”

"You deserve it!"

Chu Huai'an answered with a smooth mouth, completely lost the mind of basking in the sun, dropped the thin quilt, and rushed back to the room with the stove in his arms.

It wasn't until the door of the room was slammed shut hard that Sizhu came back to his senses in the huge sound of the door closing, looking at the melon seeds that had not moved for most of the time, and a wry smile pulled out from the corner of his lips: "Hou Ye is also a good intention, why did the third lady deliberately mention her deceased husband to make Hou Ye unhappy?" ”

"I'm telling the truth."

Su Li replied, no matter how Sizhu reacted, she spontaneously folded the thin quilt and began to clean up the chaise longue and the small coffee table.

She has done all this very skillfully, and she no longer has half of the pampered young lady in her body.

Sizhu didn't know what had happened to Su Li in the past five years to clean up the sharp aura on her body, but he faintly felt that her coming back this time was not just as simple as being a maid in the Hou Mansion in a low voice.

After all, she is Su Li, a strange woman who once amazed Jinghua.

Thinking of this, Sizhu said bluntly: "What is the purpose of the third lady's return to Beijing this time?" ”

Bo was dropped into a square piece, Su Li paused, and turned her head to look at Sizhu: "What purpose do you think I should have?" ”

Her gaze was as clear as water, obviously gentle and harmless, but in an instant, Sizhu felt a burning that had nowhere to hide.

Sizhu hurriedly lowered his head to avoid Su Li's gaze, and analyzed in a low voice: "After the third miss left home, Mr. Gu recommended himself to the court as an official, and now he is an important minister in the court, even if the third miss has had a holiday with the Hou Ye, if Mr. Gu takes care of it, even if it is the Hou Ye, he will not take the third miss how, why not the third miss ......"

"Why not? Why don't you go to Mr. Gu Fu with a shy face and ask Mr. Gu to take me in? ”
