Xue Zhen walked into the hall, and the first set of medicine cabinets that caught his eye was still half-old, not the new set of ash that Li Jiaoer had heard a few days ago.

He still remembers hearing Li Jiaoer and his mother say that Li Fu cherishes his broom and refuses to throw away the things he is used to.

The mother also smiled and said: "The in-laws are nostalgic and affectionate." ”

Xue Zhen retracted his thoughts, restraining his nauseous discomfort.

What's the use? Small love, but big loss.

He bowed to Li Fu, who was still sitting there reading a medical book, and said:

"Father-in-law, Ann."

The tone is not affectionate, only respectful.

When Li Fu heard his name, he snorted, raised his eyes slightly, glanced at Xue Zhen over the page, then withdrew his gaze and continued to read.

He really wanted to scold him, but he was kind and angry, and he wouldn't scold people behind his back, let alone in person?

His daughter persuaded him not to quarrel, probably not because he was afraid of a conflict with Xue Zhen, but because he was afraid that he would be stupid, and he would be angry if he couldn't quarrel.

So he thought about it for a long time and decided to simply ignore him and hang him.

The daughter has decided that he will have nothing to do with his family in the future.

Seeing him like this, Xue Zhen didn't care, but turned around and asked Zheng Xiaoxi: "Brother, where is Madame?" She made an appointment with me to meet today. ”

Zheng Xiaoxi had already returned to the back of the counter, continued to sort out the prescription, listened to his question, pointed to the blue curtain separating the backyard of the front store, and said indifferently:

"The eldest sister is in the backyard, and the son can take care of himself."

Xue Zhen didn't say anything more, just bowed his hand to Li Fu, and went to the back.

Li Fu turned his head unhappily, watching Xue Zhen's figure disappear behind the shaking curtain, and wanted to listen to what he had to say, but when he remembered his daughter's words, he didn't move, so he could only say to Zheng Xiaoxi angrily: "Go get water, wait and wash the front of the door!" ”

Zheng Xiaoxi put the prescription in the drawer, and said helplessly and funny:

"Yes."

When Xue Zhen arrived in the backyard, Li Jiaoer was still talking to Yun Tuan.

Seeing Xue Zhen coming in, Li Jiaoer stood up and saluted Xue Zhen: "Shizi." ”

She didn't let Yun Tuan pour tea, let alone give up her seat, she made a look to let Yun Tuan retreat, put her hand on Zhen in her palm, and asked him calmly: "Shizi, Zhen in the palm of your hand has been completed, what about my book and leaving the book?" ”

She saw that under the brown coat covered by Xue Zhen was the neckline of the vermilion official robe.

This time is not appropriate because of the previous court, I think it was because of last night's incident, today he led people to patrol the streets, visit, so busy too late to change clothes, so now when he comes to her, he is covered with a casual clothes of a sergeant of the city gate battalion, which is too eye-catching.

But Li Jiaoer didn't ask him what happened last night, she couldn't guess without asking, and he wouldn't say if she asked.

Xue Zhen didn't come over to get it, but stood at the bottom of the steps, also looking at Li Jiao'er.

The woman wore a lotus hairpin in her hair bun, a Yingluo collar, a home-style pink shirt, a goose-yellow skirt, ordinary workmanship, and the embroidery on the dress was also the most common.

But she has white skin, generous eyebrows, beautiful complexion, and always loves to smile, so even if she wears ordinary clothes, people can't help but look at them.

Whether it was the previous curtailment and flattery, or the estranged and calm now, she has the urge to make people want to see more.

However, Xue Zhen had already withdrawn his gaze.

As soon as he walked into the Hall of Benevolence, the nausea began to occur again.

His eyes fell on the more than ten pots of peony flower bones.

Unlike those used for cultivation and play, they are about a single petal when they open, which is similar to what grows in the mountains.

He commented in his heart, and said: "Mother has returned home, and she is very unhappy to know about us. ”

Why did Lord Xiaohui come back at this time?

Li Jiaoer was also puzzled, but don't look over and don't answer his words:

"The prince promised me, the eldest husband has made a word, and he should not break his word. Give me the book of harmony and departure, so that I can arrange the people and things that I left in your house. ”

Your house?

Xue Zhen was unhappy for no reason, just a little, not much, hidden in his disgust, even he almost didn't notice it.

He hid his unhappiness and asked her: "Someone in the Honglu Inn assassinated the envoy of Chen Guo yesterday, do you know why?" ”

"I don't know." Li Jiaoer categorically.

"The person who assassinated you that day was sent by Chen Guo."

Assassination?

Li Jiaoer was surprised by his words, but still shook her head: "The little girl doesn't know, what does the prince have to say?" ”

Xue Zhen didn't believe it: "Madame, don't you really know why they want to deal with you?" ”

Li Jiao'er felt that he was talking nonsense, became impatient, pursed her lips and said: "The little girl in the son's mind doesn't want to know, and she doesn't want to guess anymore, it's better to say it directly if the prince has something to say." ”

Xue Zhen's mouth pursed into a line, and he stepped forward to take the treasure in his palm.

Li Jiaoer refused to remove her hand, looking up at her, her dimples were full of anger.

Xue Zhen also looked at her insistently.

In the end, Li Jiao'er was defeated, let go of the treasure in her palm, and only stretched out her hand to him: "My and leave the book." ”

Xue Zhen did not take the treasure in his palm, but opened the lid of the box.

The golden phoenix danced and circled under the sun, and fell back into the box three weeks later, even more amazing than the last time I saw it.

Xue Zhen closed the lid and said, "Madam, I saved you that day." ”

Li Jiao'er understood what he meant from the time he talked about him just now, and she was already unhappy, turned her head to glare at him, and said angrily:

"The prince wants to break his word?"

Xue Zhen was still expressionless, and only asked, "I, have you promised Madame?" ”

Li Jiao'er stomped her feet angrily: "That day after the alley, you said yes." ”

"I only said yes, but I didn't say it would work out. Li Jiao'er, you should know that I am a royal prince and have a knighthood. When I was not the son of the world, I was not allowed to make decisions about marriage because of my grandfather's order, and now I am the son of the world, and I still cannot be the master of marriage above the etiquette law. Xue Zhen spoke eloquently, as if it was irrefutable.

Li Jiao'er laughed at his rogue tone, and casually turned her back to him and said, "Since you can't get along, then the son of the world will write a letter of resignation." The little girl has no children for three years after marriage, and the family of the prince has a title to inherit, and I dare not block the heirs of the son. ”

“…… The Xue family's family motto is that no wife can be married without children, and only if there are no children at forty can concubines be accepted. Xue Zhenhe said like an endorsement.

Li Jiao'er turned around abruptly for his words, looked at him incredulously, her body trembled slightly with anger, and she wanted to scold him with evil words, but she didn't know how to scold, and she didn't scold anyone, and she was blocked on the spot by anger for a while, and her eyes were red.

No childless wife?

Forty childless concubines?

Look at what he said, is it human words?!

What about Mrs. Chen? What about his three years of indifference?

As his father said, he was humiliating the Li family!

Why is he like this?

Xue Zhen met her resentful gaze, but immediately turned his head away and looked at the dozen or so unopened peonies again.

It took him a long time before he heard Li Jiao'er call out his name from between his teeth: "Xue Zhen." ”

with a surname in a family.

He looked at her.

Li Jiaoer's tears swirled in her eyes, but she refused to shed them:

"Xue Zhen, no matter what you plan, I, Li Jiao'er, will die, be crushed and scattered, and in this life, I will not be dressed in your Xue family's tomb."

It's hateful.

But Xue Zhen didn't look at her, and only asked:

"Li Jiao'er, are you threatening me?"
