After getting along with Xiaoman for so many years, Lu Li quickly noticed the other party's abnormality, he couldn't help coughing lightly, and then considered the words that came to his lips before saying: "It's nothing, I just think this girl is too young, I'm afraid she can't do such a thing." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man slowly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she didn't completely relax, she asked: "Actually, Xiaoxue's child is still good, and there is no one else in the family, if she is not allowed to stay in the county lord's mansion, even if she returns to Shangjing, she may not be able to support herself." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Man raised a faint smile, "Besides, she is the top of this competition, and her ability is definitely not bad, let her try, I believe she can do it well." ”

"Since you've decided, I won't say more, after all, I don't know anything about this." Lu Li was not reluctant.

"Well, it's not early, let's rest first."

Seeing that Lu Li didn't seem to have much interest in this, Xiao Man suppressed the doubts in his heart, pretended that nothing had happened and went back to bed, pulled the quilt and got in, and subconsciously chose to lie on his side, facing away from the other party.

Lu Li, who was still standing in the room, looked at the bed, and faintly felt that something was wrong with the other party, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, and what was even more strange was that Xiao Man didn't say anything, which couldn't help but make Lu Li even more confused.

Could it be that these two days are too tired? Or are you too sensitive and suspicious?

Lu Li found all kinds of excuses for Xiaoman in his heart, but he didn't want to believe that the other party was angry with him again.

But when he blew out the candle and lay down on the bed, he couldn't help but be full of doubts, and still opened his mouth: "Xiaoman, what's wrong with you today?" ”

Xiao Man, who had his back to the man, was silent for a long time, and whispered, "It's okay." ”

"Then ...... you" Lu Li turned over, looked at the woman's back, and frowned, "Xiaoman, we are husband and wife, whether you are happy, sad, or angry because of me or anyone, can you tell me directly?" Otherwise I'm really worried. ”

The two have been married for so many years, and he has never seen such a Xiaoman.

Xu Shi really couldn't help the doubts in her heart, maybe it was Lu Li's short but sincere words that moved Xiao Man, she was silent for a while, she slowly turned around, she looked at Lu Li's eyes close at hand, crossed her heart, and said: "When Jade and I just came back, I saw you and Xiaoxue... The two of you are standing together, very intimate, and talking and laughing......"

Of course, it's not just this that makes Xiaoman unhappy, but this is the most awkward point for her.

Lu Li frowned, then sighed, and reached out to wrap his hand around Xiao Man's shoulder, "It's because of this incident that you sulk alone?" ”

Xiao Man bit his lip and didn't speak, but took away the hand on his shoulder, staring at each other expressionlessly with a pair of black and white eyes, waiting for Lu Li's explanation.

Lu Li sighed helplessly, "I've been married to you for so many years, do you see that I've seen other women a little more?" Xiaoman, I Lu Li swear here today that I have never betrayed you, and I have never thought of betraying you, I Lu Li has only Su Xiaoman as a wife and a lover in this life. ”

After speaking, he looked into the other party's eyes, "Is this okay?" ”

"So you have nothing to do with Xiaoxue, right? Then you—" Xiao Man bit his lip angrily and lowered his eyes, "Then you are still standing so close to her, let outsiders see it, and think you two are doing!" ”

"Then I'll never have contact with her again, okay?" Lu Li said softly.

Xiao Man snorted after hearing this, and muttered: "Forget it, you can contact as much as you want, otherwise if this matter comes out, someone will say that I am jealous." ”

Hearing this, Lu Li once again grabbed the other party's shoulder, slightly used some strength to bring Xiao Man into his arms, pressed his chin against the other party's head, and a low and magnetic male voice lingered in Xiao Man's ears: "Why care about outsiders' opinions?" I like the way you look jealous. ”

Xiao Man, who was nesting in the man's arms, snorted softly, but the corners of his mouth rose sweetly, and the big stone that had always hung in his heart finally fell to the ground.

The two hugged each other quietly, Xiao Man felt the temperature coming from each other's bodies, and the familiar breath lingering on the tip of her nose, she couldn't help but drill into the man's arms again, until the other party completely hugged herself.

Lu Li, who felt the woman's small movements, smiled in a low voice, "It was awkward just now, but now it's full of energy." ”

Xiao Man just snickered and didn't speak.

"But," Lu Li said again, "Actually, I still have time to tell you something." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Man left the other party's embrace, poked his head out of the quilt, and looked at the other party with a serious face, "What's the matter?" Be lenient in confession, strict in resistance, and speak quickly! ”

Looking at the other party's vigilant little appearance, Lu Li raised the corners of his lips again, lowered his eyebrows, and deliberately teased the other party: "If I say that it's about Xiaoxue, will you be angry?" ”

Sure enough, Xiao Man pulled down his face as soon as he heard this name, and helplessly and angrily stretched out his fist and hammered the other party a few times, "Lu Li, you are really getting worse and worse!" If you have something, just say it directly, swallow and spit it out, and deliberately involve these some and no, are you angry with me? ”

"Good, good." Lu Li gently shook the other party's fist and said, "I said I said, I said it now." ”

He told the other party about the encounter with Xiaoxue in the inner courtyard, and the conversation between the two of them also told it one by one.

At the end, Lu Li stared at the other party's eyes and said seriously: "That's all, Xiaoman, you have to believe me, I have always liked you, and I will definitely be sincere to you, you must not think about it, okay?" ”

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Man's eyebrows furrowed, completely ignoring what the other party just said.

She said, "You mean, Xiaoxue heard Jade say bad things about her at that time?" ”

Lu Li nodded, "That's what it means." ”

"Then since she knew that Jade was talking bad about herself at the time, then I later punished Jade to go to the kitchen to boil water, so why did she take the initiative to help?" Xiao Man really couldn't understand this truth, "No matter how kind she is, at least she should be angry at the moment when she first hears the other party say bad things about herself, how can she still want to help Jade?" ”

Xiao Man knows that he is a person who will repay him, so he definitely can't smile in the face of accusations, but what if Mrs. Zhang or Xia Wanrou encounter such a situation? I'm afraid they won't endure the accusations for no reason, right?

What's more, the person who accuses him still has nothing to do with him, which makes it even more impossible to ignore it.

"Maybe Xiaoxue doesn't care?" Lu Li guessed: "She is alone in Canglan, and she has no family in Donglan, maybe she has suffered a lot since she was a child, so in the face of such a situation, she can only swallow it, right?" ”

Xiao Man scratched his head, "Actually, there is some truth in what you say, but I'm still... Forget it, it's over anyway. ”

Lu Li rubbed her head and gently persuaded: "Yes, the matter has passed, don't think about it again, otherwise it will only increase your troubles." Xiaoman, you're very busy now, promise me not to burden yourself anymore, okay? ”

Since coming to Canglan, he faintly felt that Xiao Man was becoming more and more depressed, because there was a heavy burden on her, coupled with the success again and again, if Xiao Man did not do a good job, it would make her very troubled, and she couldn't forgive herself.

Watching the other party fall into such a demon step by step, Lu Li couldn't bear it, and could only remind him after the other party had not completely fallen into it.

Xiao Man nodded when she heard this, she also knew that she was under too much pressure during this time, and she couldn't see winning or losing as much as before, but fortunately, she still had Lu Li by her side, as well as pearls and jade.

She got into the quilt, then tightened into the man's arms, and whispered, "Lu Li, thank you." ”

The man didn't speak, just hugged the other party tightly, like coaxing a child, and gently patted the other party's back, so that Xiaoman could fall asleep as soon as possible.

Xu was by his side because of the landing, and the words that the other party said before going to bed, Xiaoman slept very sweetly this night, and it was not until the next day's sunlight sprinkled on her body that she opened her eyes in a trance and found that it was dawn.

When I looked again, the bed was empty, and I was the only one left.

Xiao Man stretched his waist, put on his clothes without hurry, and then called the maid to wash, and let Jade come in to make up.

"Jade, do you know where Lu left?" Xiao Man looked at himself in the bronze mirror and asked casually.

Jade smiled, and said while combing Xiao Man's hair: "Grandpa Guo got up early in the morning, and at this time, he should be waiting for Mrs. in the dining room." ”

Today is the Lantern Festival, and the people on the street are busy hanging lanterns, even if it is still early and the candles in the lanterns have not yet been lit, but because of the colorful and various lanterns, the street is more lively than before.

Xiao Man had already decided to go to the Drunken Immortal Tower for a banquet at night, and said that Lu Li would accompany him.

While the sky was still bright, Xiao Man went through the embroideries that were selected and those that were not selected last night, and after making sure that Xiaoxue and the others were fair, she handed over the list to Wang Shu and asked him to help her copy it out.

The child's handwriting is extremely beautiful, and it has a strength that is not suitable for his age, Xiaoman and Lu Li watched it on the side, very satisfied.

After such a busy day, the sun finally went down, and it was time for Xiao Man and Lu Li to go to the banquet.

The two got into the carriage, Lu Li thought about tonight's banquet, and couldn't help but ask casually, "Does Mrs. Zhang really agree?" You can't do anything with that, right? What if Zhou Xiaoxiao sees through that you are just playing with her, then what should you do? ”

"I've told you how many times," Xiao Man pouted, "They are to blame, and no one else is to blame." Besides, if I see through it, I can see through it, and I have no loss. ”

If the mother and daughter of the Zhou family didn't want to take advantage of themselves at the beginning, then Xiaoman didn't bother to teach them a lesson.
