Li Yao went home, her heart was still beating a little hard, even if she was interesting to him, she should hide it in her heart, he was Lingli's sweetheart, she couldn't have any thoughts about Lin Zichuan, but I don't know why, after listening to his words, there would be a little shaken in her heart, she was too eager to find a support, settle down, and be too eager to end the current life under the fence.

But she thought about all the things she got along with him again and again in her heart, she really didn't have the kind of feelings for him that were men and women, and the guilt in her heart was a little lighter, thinking that she must find a day to explain to Lin Zichuan well, and another day to have a good chat with Ling Li.

She breathed a sigh of relief, she just ran into Mama Wu when she entered the courtyard, Mama Wu's face was a little anxious, and when she saw Li Yao, she pulled her aside and said, "Third Miss, where have you been, the eldest lady has something to do with you, and you are not there, so I will be in a hurry." ”

"What's wrong?"

Mother Wu looked around, and said mysteriously: "The eldest lady is a little unhappy, you... ”

She stopped talking, sighed, and said, "Were you with Hu Muran in the two days you disappeared?" Now the rumors have spread to our house, and you will have to explain it to the eldest lady in a while! ”

Li Yao's head was a little confused, and she went to the lobby with Wu's mother.

As soon as she entered the door, in the lobby, Master Li and Mrs. Li, as well as the fourth and fifth wives, were all exquisite. Master Li glanced at her, his eyes were a little complicated, and the eldest lady had a blue face.

"Are you willing to come back?"

The eldest lady's tone towards her suddenly changed, she used to talk to herself in a kind manner, but today she suddenly became very blunt.

"Uncle, aunt, I'm sorry, I just went to school, so I'm worried!"

She looked up and saw Linghui frowning at herself, and she felt that the situation was a little serious.

The fourth lady always likes to talk a lot, she glanced at Li Yao with disdain, and said: "Third girl, I said that you didn't want to say anything after you came back, obviously you were rescued that day, but you got mixed up with the son of the Hu family and forgot to go home!" I didn't say a word to my family, so we were worried for two more days in vain! ”

The eldest lady was even more angry, and she said, "You said yourself, where did you go in those two days, why didn't you go home directly?" ”

She had to confess: "Hu Muran was injured, and we got lost again, so we stayed at a nearby farmer's house for two days, and only came back after he recovered from his injuries." ”

"In that case, why don't you send a letter home?"

Li Yao said: "I sent a letter to my family, but the person who delivered the letter got lost and didn't deliver it." ”

"Dare to quibble!" The eldest lady slapped the table, and the whole room was startled.

Master Li couldn't stand it a little, and said, "You can say it well, don't scare the child!" ”

She said: "It's just that I'm always used to her, letting her go out to teach, and going out to show her face, which caused a lot of trouble." ”

She pointed at Li Yao and said, "You know what the outside world says about you, saying that you were held by the kidnappers for two days, and then sent back safely, it must be... She couldn't go any longer, and after a pause, she said: "We know that you are innocent, but outsiders don't know, your future marriage is ruined, and as a result, you and Hu Muran have been messing around for two days, and they have been in and out together, and they have slept in the same room?" ”

Li Yao didn't know where she knew these things, she couldn't tell the grievances in her heart, she and Hu Muran had a misunderstanding, and there was no such thing as going in and out of the same room together.

She said: "No, Hu Muran and I are innocent, he was injured for me, I should stay and take care of him!" ”

"You don't know that he has a holiday with our family, and even if he goes to save you, he is not easy and kind, is this kind of rumor really casually rising? It's hard to imagine that he stabbed you in the back! ”

"Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid! I have a clear conscience! Li Yao said.

The eldest lady said angrily: "Do you think that after a few years of studying, you will be straight and not afraid of anything?" Since you are the Li family, you should abide by the family rules and speak and act in a measured manner, our family is very difficult now, you still make such a fuss, the Li family's face is lost! ”

"Mom, don't say it, the third sister doesn't want to be like this, besides, people deliberately speak ill of us, our own family can't chill the hearts of our own family!" Linghui helped persuade.

Master Li sighed and said, "Don't say it, what's the use of saying this, she is a little girl who doesn't understand anything, and our Li family won't do anything because of such a little rumor!" ”

The eldest lady looked at him with a shocked face: "Why the bad guys call me to be, I won't wake her up today If she pokes out the basket again in the future, I'll see what happens to you!" Then he got up and left.

Linghui followed, passing by Li Yao's side, she whispered: "My mother is just angry, don't worry, I'll persuade her!" ”

Li Yao nodded gratefully

Since the accident of the fifth master, the Li family has indeed suffered a lot of vitality, but as a result, the third lady of the Li family has made a family scandal again, and the affairs of the Li family have become the talk of many people after dinner, and even the affairs of the third master of the Li family have been brought out again to be talked about.

Master Li walked over and said, "Your eldest aunt is also for your good, that Hu Muran, you stay away from him in the future, don't go out these days, just stay at home." ”

She nodded, feeling her heart blocked: "Uncle, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" ”

Li Bingcheng's eyes seemed to be distressed and helpless, and said: "I'm sorry for you!" ”

His words made Li Yao a little surprised, he rarely said these words to himself in the past, but just now he looked at his eyes, which made people feel inexplicably cordial, probably because he looked too similar to his father, she was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly tears flowed out inexplicably.

After he said those words, he left, half of the people in the lobby dispersed, Linglong wanted to comfort her but didn't know how to speak, so she also left, Lingli paused next to her, and said: "I thought you hated Hu Muran, I really didn't expect that, since this is the case, stay away from Lin Zichuan, you are not worthy of him!" Li Yao suddenly raised her head and bumped into Ling Li's smug eyes, she asked tentatively, "Is it the rumor you spread?" Ling Li immediately looked innocent and said: "How could it be me, I haven't been out much during this time, and how can I have such a great ability!" ”

"You wait!" Li Yao stopped her and said, "I want to have a good chat with you, there is a misunderstanding between us!" ”

Ling Li stared at her nails for a while, she was struggling in her heart, but she had to calm herself down, since she couldn't be soft-hearted, she said: "No need, I know what you want to talk to me, you don't like Lin Zichuan but Lin Zichuan likes you, but have you ever wondered why he likes you, it's not that you always go to him to hang around!" ”

"No, it's not! Lingli, don't be like this, we are sisters! ”

"Sisters? You've only been in the house for a long time, I used to treat you as a sister, but what have you done, it's just a matter of standing out, even the people I like have been attracted to you! ”

Lingli's lips trembled, her eyes flushed slightly, and after she finished speaking, she walked out with firm steps.

"Lingli, listen to me!" She chased after her.

"Third sister, don't say it, the more you say it, the more I hate you!"

Ling Li didn't shake her head back, leaving Li Yao standing alone.

Why did it become like this, originally, their sisters obviously got along very happily, sleeping in a bed at night to discuss the gossip in the city, what she saw and heard about living in the Northland, but when did it start, everyone gradually became estranged, her heart became more and more panicked, she wiped her tears and walked forward, suddenly, the second aunt stopped her from behind.

The second aunt poured her a cup of tea, and said distressedly: "I heard about you, don't listen to those rumors, sooner or later your tongue will have sores if you chew the root of your tongue." ”

"But this time my aunt didn't believe me, and I didn't know what I would do in the future."

"You still have to listen to my advice and find a good family to marry while you are young."

Can it be reliable to find a good man to marry? In Li Yao's heart, men and marriage are not necessarily reliable, just like the second aunt married Li Bingcheng and is now a widow, just like Linghui, she is divorced. She said, "I'm on my own!" ”

"But you don't have the help of your parents, and you don't have the support of your siblings, what are you going to do in the future?"

Li Yao shook his head: "I don't know either." ”

She fell into deep thought, she suddenly remembered a person, Uncle Ma, Uncle Ma is just like her father, but he went to the battlefield, and now his life and death are uncertain, I don't know when I can come back to see her, she doesn't want to be a deep lady at home, she needs a time, she wants to leave the Li family!

Suddenly, the door of the second aunt's house was knocked on, she thought it was Taotao who came back from school and went to open the door, but it was Liu Tian who came in, Butler Liu.

When he saw Li Yao, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly restrained his expression, and the second aunt was also surprised.

Liu Tian hid a brocade box in his sleeve, originally wanted to come over and give it to the second aunt, but in the current situation, he couldn't take it out, so he turned his mind and said: "Second aunt, the tree you ordered to plant in the yard will arrive tomorrow, and I will tell you." ”

"Oh... Oh, I know, I'm sorry for you, Steward Liu! ”

The two of them said a few words, and the second aunt sent him away and closed the door.

But she was not as sleek as Liu Tian, her expression was uncontrollable, and she explained in a panic: "My yard is empty, I asked him to come over and help me take care of it." ”

Li Yao had heard their rumors, and originally thought that they were made up by their subordinates, but at the moment, it seems that nine times out of ten they are true.

She got up and said, "I'll go back first when it's not too early." ”

The second aunt stopped her suddenly, Li Yao must have seen something just now, she said, "Yaoyao, you... Don't tell me about it! ”

Li Yao just stood up and sat down again, this kind of thing is definitely disgraceful, and she also knows the difficulties in her heart, but she can't watch her second aunt fall deeper and deeper, and she can't watch her eldest uncle being detained as a green hat.

She said: "I won't say much else, but you must think about it, not only for yourself but also for Taotao, paper can't contain fire after all, I don't know what to do tonight, and I will never say it." ”

"I know, I know, I've wanted to break with him for a long time!"

"Then I'll go first, and I'll help you take care of the yard tomorrow!" Li Yao said.

The second aunt looked at her too gratefully and sent her out.
