Li Zongliang replied very simply and directly, Li Xiaoqi frowned, Li Zongliang looked at her and then explained: "I originally wanted to persuade Mr. to go and see her, but Mr. said that whether it is him or me, it is harmful to go to see her at this time." Li Xiaoqi looked at Li Zongliang, sighed and said in a low voice: "I went to see her a while ago, but I didn't let her see me, she was very thin, and her heart was bitter, Grandma Shen said that she was worried day and night, I was afraid that you would break off this family business, she would have to live in the nunnery for the rest of her life, I asked Grandma to persuade her more, to calm her heart, since you have discussed it with Mr., then that's it, tomorrow I will ask Mama Zhang to send someone over, first, to tell her about the marriage of Brother Shuisheng, and second, to bring her the second sister-in-law's congratulations." ”
"Hmm." Li Zongliang responded in a low voice, stretched out his hand and brushed a trace of Li Xiaoyi's loose hair, and said with pity: "You are not small, don't just worry about your brothers, take care of your own affairs, as long as the person is good, be good to you, and don't worry about it." ”
"I know, big brother, don't worry." Li Xiaoqi responded vaguely, and while speaking, he got up and said goodbye to Li Zongliang, called Mama Zhang over, and told her to send someone to go to the Cold Cicada Nunnery the next day.
