Chapter 171: Recapture the Courtyard
Walking into an arched door, when she was about to lose sight of Lanxiang Pavilion, Li Rulan couldn't help but glance sideways at the place where she once lived, but her eyes were dyed with a touch of horror.
It was only then that she dared to reveal her true emotions.
Li Shoude noticed Li Rulan's retrospective gaze, and thought that she wanted to live back in the former courtyard, so he asked out loud: "Does Rulan like that courtyard very much?" ”
Li Rulan was startled by Li Shoude's voice, and quickly withdrew her frightened eyes and replaced them with a faint look.
It was the place where she had lived for nearly eighteen years, and there was her favorite orchid, and how could she not like it.
But until that day, she watched a living person die in front of her.
The blood stained her orchid red, which not only made her afraid of the place where she once lived, but also made her dare not like orchids again.
She understood why Li Shoude asked her like this, and now that Li Shoude has a request for her, she just needs to say she likes it, and presumably Li Shoude will let her go back there.
But she had lingering fears about that place, how dare she go back and live there.
After thinking about it, Li Rulan decided not to go back there.
She just wanted to say that she didn't like it, but at this moment, she suddenly thought of Li Ruyan's cold snort before leaving.
Yes, that's the yard where she used to live.
Even if she doesn't want to live, she can't let Li Ruyan, who hurt her, live in it comfortably.
Didn't Li Ruyan always want to occupy that courtyard, so she didn't let Li Ruyan get her wish.
Thinking of this, Li Rulan deliberately showed a sad look: "Brother, what are you talking about, I have been kicked out of the house by you, and now I am married again, how dare I like it there again." ”
As she spoke, she glanced back in the direction of Lan Xiangge, her expression sad and reluctant, and her tone with humility and cowardice.
Xiao Niannian was impressed by her mother's acting skills, and at this moment, she heard a small footstep approaching here.
She narrowed her eyes slightly in the direction where the footsteps were coming from, then turned her head casually.
Since someone also wants to come to the play, let that person watch enough.
With such superb acting skills, it's a pity that only two people let her and Li Shoude watch it.
Now that there is one more audience, it is naturally better.
Anyway, if anyone dares to come to her mother's fault because of these things, she promises that those people will regret it.
Li Shoude's side, looking at Li Rulan's pitiful appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little weak.
Thinking that his affairs had not been done, he thought for a while and said: "If Lan Mo wants to say this again, we misunderstood you and kicked you out back then, and now that you have returned to the Li family, you will naturally have to live back in your original courtyard." Behind the orchid pavilion is the garden, all kinds of plum blossoms compete with each other, the scenery is very good, my sister must be able to be happy when she lives in. ”
"Really?" Li Rulan raised her head in surprise, but as if she thought of something, she lowered her head silently.
"But if I live in, what will happen to her? Let her know that I have taken over her yard, and she will resent me, and you know her character......"
"He dares!" Li Shoude said in a deep voice, "Today, I will find a time to talk to Ruyan and ask her to move out." With such a big house as ours, can we live without her? Rulan, don't worry, she is an abandoned woman, and she is not qualified to roll around in our house. As long as I am here, she will not dare to have any resentment against you. What's more, it was originally your yard, and she was the one who occupied you. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be ......."
Speaking of this, Li Shoude suddenly realized something, and quickly shut up and said no more.
And Li Rulan had already guessed what he said next.
What he wants to say should be that if it weren't for Li Ruyan back then, she Li Rulan would not have been kicked out of the house.
Li Rulan didn't ask why, but blessed Li Shoude.
"Then Rulan has thanked her brother in advance."
"Rulan, you are polite, after all, it was your boudoir, and you should go back if you want to." Li Shoude gave a hand and said hesitantly, "It's just that there is one more thing ......"
Li Rulan guessed once again what Li Shoude wanted to say next, but she still asked quietly, "What else is there to do with my brother?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”
"Then I'll just say it, I don't know if you remember Yulian Rulan?"
Seeing that Li Rulan didn't talk, Li Shoude said with an unnatural expression: "It's Yulian who was imprisoned in the yamen for insulting and slandering you a few days ago. ”
Xiao Niannian is here, and his ears have been quietly listening to the movements of the eavesdropper.
After Li Shoude said Li Yulian's matter, she clearly heard the gasp of the eavesdropper.
Xiao Niannian showed a meaningful smile, it seems that except for Li Shoude, who was talking to his mother, the rest of the Li family didn't know that Li Yulian was imprisoned.
No wonder, she had thought something strange before.
When she and her mother returned to the Li family, no one mentioned Li Yulian's matter, and Li Yulian's mother, Zhang, did not come to their family for trouble because of this matter.
The original is because I don't know anything.
Now that the eavesdropper knows, it won't be long before the whole house will know.
It seems that there is a lively look again~
Thinking of Li Yulian, Li Rulan deliberately lowered her face.
"I don't know what my brother is doing when he mentions Yulian? On that day, she deliberately slandered our family and almost made my family eat a board. Thinking about it now, I still have palpitations. ”
"Alas......" Li Shoude sighed and waved at Li Rulan.
"It's all my father who can't discipline me, and I'm here to make amends to you for Yulian."
"When Rulan left home, Yulian was almost five years old, and Yulian was almost grown up by you. The thing that happened that day was that she was wrong, and she shouldn't have spoken wildly to your aunt, but please Rulan, for the sake of her lack of things and her relatives, help me plead with Xu County Order, and release Yulian as soon as possible, okay? ”
"This ......" Li Rulan sneered in her heart, but she looked extremely embarrassed on her face.
Li Shoude has been thinking about pleasing her recently, and today, he finally remembered the daughter in prison.
Seeing Li Rulan's hesitant expression, Li Shoude hurriedly said: "Because of Yulian's matter, I asked to see Xu Xianling several times, but he refused to see me every time, but asked me to come and beg you, saying that he would only consider reducing Yulian's punishment if he asked for your forgiveness."
"Rulan, you can help for my sake! I know you have a grudge against you for what happened before, but I promise that I will make it up to you in the future. As long as you have any requirements in the future, I will definitely meet you! ”
"Oh? Is it? Li Rulan asked a little uneasily, "Brother, this may be true to what he says, what if I promise you on the front foot, and you break your promise to me later?" ”
"Rulan, if you don't feel at ease, I'll swear in front of you!" Li Shoude raised his hand as he spoke, and swore by holding his index and middle fingers together to the sky.
"I, Li Shoude, swear that I will be good to Rulan in the future and make up for the mistakes I made before. If not, you won't die well! ”
"Whoa!" At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly exploded in the cloudless sky, startling Li Shoude and almost falling to the ground.
