Chapter 18: Head to Head
On the way to his mother-in-law Li's yard, Li Ronghua had walked countless times in his previous life, and even if he closed his eyes now, Li Ronghua was confident that he could find the courtyard where his mother-in-law Li lived.
There are still a few begonias in front of the yard, and the little maid is quietly guarding in front of the house, the only difference from the previous life is that the maid guarding the door in front of this house is not the one I saw in my previous life.
In the end, he returned to the Li Mansion two years early, and it is normal for the maids in the Li Mansion to change.
Peony was slightly surprised when she saw another maid in front of the door, but she still stepped forward to speak to the maid guarding the door, and asked the little maid to inform Li Ronghua of the incident.
The little maid couldn't help but be slightly surprised when she saw Peony personally bring Li Ronghua over, and even couldn't help but glance at Li Ronghua quickly, before she lowered her eyebrows, nodded at Peony, and entered the house to report.
Not long after, the door of the house was opened, and the little maid spoke to Li Ronghua and led Li Ronghua into the house.
Peony on the side was a little unbearable, and wanted to keep up slightly, but finally stopped, she was a person from the big house, and it was not suitable to participate in the affairs of the four rooms.
Li Chengfeng wanted to follow in, but where did Peony dare to let this demon king of the mixed world follow up, don't come back, the matter was not tossed well, but caused trouble for Li Ronghua.
Miss Nine is miserable enough, she must be told to live as well as possible.
Li Ronghua entered the house and nodded at Peony to thank you, and Peony felt even more unbearable.
Li Ronghua smiled innocently, and followed the little maid step by step into his mother-in-law Li's house.
The candlelight in Li's room was a little dim, and I didn't know if it was deliberate, so I only lit three sporadic lights, and as the little maid spoke, Li Ronghua saw Li sitting on the bed, but Li's face was not clear.
This can't help but remind her of the situation when she saw Li for the first time in her previous life, it seems to be the same, this may be a habit of Li's family, the first time she sees someone who is constantly related to herself, she doesn't like to let people see her expression clearly, but she likes to see each other's expressions clearly, just like this time, the position of the oil lamp just happens to illuminate her clearly.
Li Ronghua quickly glanced at the house, and when he didn't see Chen's mother and younger brother, he lowered his head and looked at his nose and heart.
However, Li Shi just opened his mouth, as if answering her glance's doubts: "Your brother is asleep, so I will let Chen's mother take it back." ”
Li Ronghua's head was lowered, and the whole person looked trembling.
Li Shi said to the little maid on the side: "Qiao'er, bring Sister Hua to me, this will be the first time I will come here, I'm afraid it's strange and scared, don't be afraid, I'm your mother." ”
The voice is gentle, and the words are gentle.
Li Ronghua lowered his eyebrows, what a voice that makes people easy to let go of their guard, and how easy it is to let go of their guard.
The little maid had already walked to Li Ronghua's side, Li Ronghua was still well-behaved, and walked cautiously to Li's side, but Li pulled Li Ronghua closer: "Another poor child, it's really a sin, you will live in Li's mansion in the future, don't be afraid." ”
"This is your home." The more gentle Li said, the more distressed he became.
Li Ronghua became more and more cautious, but his eyes were timidly raised, looking at Li, he happened to be seen by Li, Li smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, look up and let me see, I will be your mother-in-law in the future, you can come to me if you need anything." ”
Hearing this, Li Ronghua cautiously straightened his face, but because of this, this time he clearly noticed that the moment Li saw her appearance, his pupils narrowed slightly, and even his slow speech paused: "It's a long pink carving." ”
Li Ronghua lowered his head, but the corner of his eye swept Li's hand, which was a slightly clenched fist.
Li Ronghua couldn't help but think about it, he was in a hurry to the Li Mansion in his previous life, and he had countless things in his heart, and he really didn't pay attention to the moment Li saw her, but he only remembered that after Li saw her for the first time, he saw her again three days later.
Li's voice sounded again: "Originally, according to the situation of you and your brother, you should live together, and it is better to be assigned to an aunt, but a child as young as your brother needs to be carefully taken care of, and there are too many scattered thoughts, I am afraid that there will be something that cannot be taken care of, so I will leave you with me, and your brother will let Aunt Chen take care of you, what do you think?" ”
Li Ronghua's heart shrank slightly, although he thought that the Li family would break up the idea of separating her and her younger brother, but he didn't want to be separated like this, so he left her in the house, which was different from the arrangement of the previous life.
According to her original guess, the Li family should have pointed her and her younger brother directly to a dead aunt, and then let the grandmother take care of it, after all, this is the best interest for the Li family.
How could she give her younger brother to an aunt to take care of, isn't she afraid of raising a tiger and letting an aunt raise a child who is about the same age as her sister-in-law, causing a big turmoil?
Li Ronghua looked up nervously: "I...... Can't I be with my brother? ”
The moment Li Ronghua looked at the Li family, he timidly lowered his head: "My mother left me and my younger brother to depend on each other, and I promised my mother to take good care of my younger brother." ”
"What kind of mother is not a mother, since you have arrived in the Li Mansion, there is only one mother and mother-in-law, that is the fourth lady, as for the people next to you, they are just aunts, are you here, don't you even know this rule?" Li's maid Qiao'er instantly spoke sharply.
Li Ronghua shuddered and couldn't help but go backwards.
"Qiao'er, shut up, how can you scare a child so much." Li's faint opening was a pity, but it was a pity that it fell into the ears of Li Ronghua, who was filled with an adult soul, in these words, there was less emotion, and it was clear that he didn't really blame Qiao'er, if Li Ronghua was really a child, I am afraid that he would involuntarily get close to Li.
At the beginning of the previous life, I was also close, but later, I didn't dare to get close.
Li Shi spoke gently again: "This is also for the good of your younger brother, your younger brother is young, and he needs personal care in the end, and if he wants to send it to Aunt Chen, he will also take care of it." ”
Li Ronghua said timidly: "Then can I still watch my brother?" Can I go and see it every day? ”
As he spoke, Li Ronghua glanced at Qiao'er in fear, and quickly lowered his head.
Li smiled slightly: "Of course you can, I will give you a chance to get together." ”
Li Ronghua seemed to be infected by this gentle voice, and raised his head innocently: "What about Mother Chen, will Mother Chen continue to take care of her younger brother?" ”
Li frowned slightly, and then smiled gently: "Do you want Mother Chen to take care of it?" ”
Li Ronghua shook his head quickly: "I don't want to." ”
While speaking, Li Ronghua lowered his head: "Hua'er will be afraid when he goes to a strange place, and his younger brother will be even more afraid, so Hua'er hopes that Chen's mother can be by her brother's side." ”
She didn't miss the look that flashed in Li's eyes just now, that look clearly intended to let Chen's mother follow her side directly to take care of her, and separate the newly-born brother alone, but how could she agree to this matter.
However, Li has such a thought, she has to plan early, and her younger brother is really separated, Chen's mother wants to be separated, but it is very easy.
"I heard that your mother said something before leaving, what did she say?" Just as Li Ronghua was pondering, Li's voice sounded again.
"Ronghua can't remember clearly, but I remember that it seems to say that there will be big changes in the Li Mansion, and it seems that there are people who don't want to see such changes, and they may make a fuss about me and my brother." Li Ronghua said with a look of horror on his face: "Then when we arrived at the Li Mansion, someone wanted to harm me......
"My brother can't live without Chen's mother, by the way, the old lady, the old lady also left Chen's mother because of this." Li Ronghua looked at Li with a frightened expression.
Li said slowly: "Hua'er is good, don't be afraid, how can you not let Chen's mother take care of the new brother, after all, children are easy to get sick when they leave a familiar place, and if they leave a familiar person, it will definitely be bad, you can rest assured, I will let Chen's mother take care of your brother carefully, and I will send two nurses to take care of your brother." ”
Li Ronghua seemed to settle down, but he was cautious all over, and his face was obedient and obedient.
Li Shi rubbed his eyebrows, and Qiao'er on the side quickly stepped forward: "Madam, are you tired?" ”
"Well, you can take Hua'er down, you don't have to take it back to the Red Mansion, just pick out a house nearby to live in, and go to Renyazi tomorrow to buy some little maids to take care of......"
"Yes, ma'am." As Qiao'er spoke, she took Li Ronghua out of the house.
Although Li Ronghua followed Qiao'er outward, he couldn't help but look back at Li again, and finally quickly lowered his head and followed out.
Qiao'er walked out of the house, and sent Li Ronghua to the maid guarding the door, and instructed the maid guarding the door to do what Li ordered to do.
Li Ronghua followed the maid guarding the door and left, and vaguely heard Qiao'er seem to ask if the Li family really arranged her residence like this, Li Ronghua lowered his eyebrows, but asked the maid guarding the door: "Big sister, which aunt is Aunt Chen?" I heard that my brother will be taken care of by Aunt Chen in the future, do you know where she lives? ”
The maid guarding the door was puzzled: "Aunt Chen, oh, it is said that she is Madame's cousin, and she has always had a good relationship with Madame, so she lives in Qiuzhuyuan." ”
"What do you say? Akichiku-in? Li Ronghua raised his head instantly, and a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
The maid guarding the door was stunned, obviously not expecting to see an expression that could be described as sharp on the face of a child who looked timid, and even couldn't help but rub her eyes to see if it was an illusion.
However, Li Ronghua quickly recovered his previous appearance, and the maid guarding the door only felt that she was wrong, and continued to send Li Ronghua forward, and finally found a beautifully decorated room for Li Ronghua to live in in the Purple Lotus Courtyard.
It's just that Li Ronghua has no intention of observing the situation of this room, and he still can't calm down because of the three words Qiuzhuyuan, and he even can't wait to check the condition of Chen's mother and younger brother now.
Because, the three words of Qiuzhuyuan reminded her of one thing, that is, she was named by her mother-in-law Li in her last life under the name of a dead aunt, who happened to live in Qiuzhuyuan and was surnamed Chen.
