Chapter Seventy-One: Secular

After Yan Li got off duty from the Yamen of Dali Temple, when he passed by Chang'an Avenue, he found a newly opened dim sum shop, and the plaque at the door was written with three big characters of Xue Rongzhai.

The guy in the shop was standing outside the shop to solicit customers, saying that they had hired a dim sum chef from the south to introduce several new southern pastries, which were delicate and sweet.

Yan Li was very interested when he heard this, and planned to buy some and go home for Mrs. Yan and Qi Tanying to taste.

He came out of Xuerongzhai after buying pastries, and his eyes inadvertently fell on the outside of the Juxian teahouse opposite.

Two familiar figures came into his sight, his new wife and maidservant. After they came out of the teahouse, they went straight to the carriage parked at the entrance of the teahouse.

Yan Li stood still and didn't move, wondering what his wife was doing in the teahouse? Do you have an appointment with whom?

The next moment, someone confirmed his suspicions.

I saw that the carriage left only for a moment, and a familiar figure appeared at the door of the teahouse.

That person he knew, it was Jiang Zhenyu in the third room of the Jiang family, the boy who had fought with him.

I saw him look lonely in the direction where the carriage was leaving, and did not withdraw his gaze until the carriage disappeared into the corner of the street.

Yan Li looked at this scene, his eyes darkened, and he stood at the door of Xuerong Zhai for a while with the pastries before leaving home.

After returning home, he asked the pastries to be sent to the main courtyard and Mrs. Yan respectively, turned around and went to the study, and waited until it was almost time for dinner before going to greet Mrs. Yan.

Seeing him coming, Mrs. Yan said, "Your mother-in-law is sick, Ah Tan went back to her parents' house in the morning, and you should also go to Qi's house to take a look." ”

Mother-in-law is sick? Yan Li frowned, no one told him before this.

If the mother-in-law, Mrs. Qi, is really sick, why did the wife go to Juxian Teahouse to meet Jiang Zhenyu?

He felt very uncomfortable and looked at Mrs. Yan, "Mother, I will go to Qi's house once, and I won't accompany you to dinner." ”

Old Madam Yan urged him to hurry up.

When Yan Li came to Qi's house, Qi Tanying was waiting for Mrs. Qi to drink medicine.

He first glanced at his wife, and then asked Mrs. Qi how she was doing? Mrs. Qi reluctantly pulled out a smile, "It's okay, it's just that the wind is blowing and getting cold, and it will be fine to recuperate for a few days." ”

But he didn't want to tell him what he really was sick for.

After speaking, he said to Qi Tanying: "Jinghe must have not had dinner at this time, you ordered the kitchen to make some food for him." ”

Qi Tanying nodded in response, and Mrs. Qi urged: "Go quickly!" ”

Qi Tanying tucked the quilt for her mother, then got up and walked out of the house with Yan Li.

The two returned to Qi Tanying's boudoir before she got married, and Tinglan listened to Qi Tanying's instructions and went to the kitchen, and when she came back, she carried a food box.

The food box contains a few side dishes and two bowls of lean porridge, which is very light.

Qi Tanying frowned, she had enough to eat such a meal, Yan Li was an adult man who could eat enough, so he ordered the kitchen to make some hungry food.

Soon two bowls of rich and fragrant mutton noodles were served to the kitchen. The snow-white noodles are neatly stacked in the bowl, and the noodles are a layer of thin slices of lamb overflowing with marinated fragrance, and the green onions are scattered and dotted in twos and threes, which looks very attractive.

Yan Li didn't have much appetite, the scene outside the Juxian Teahouse in the afternoon made him very concerned, and he wanted to ask his wife directly several times, but he swallowed back when the words came to his mouth.

He believed that she would not do anything to be sorry for herself, but he could not guarantee that others would not think badly of her.

Thinking about it too much, it is inevitable that the mood is a little irritable.

Qi Tanying also had something in her heart, the matter between Qi Yukun and Jiang Zhenyu, Mrs. Qi repeatedly ordered her not to tell Yan Li, lest he not be able to raise his head in front of his brother-in-law in the future.

She could understand her mother's feelings, so she agreed to hide it.

"Husband, you have to be on duty tomorrow, go home and rest first." She said: "My mother is sick, I will stay at Qi's house to take care of her for the next few days, and I will come back when she is okay." ”

Yan Li's eyes darkened when she heard this, was she driving herself away?

Then he shook his head, "There is no need to take a detour to go to the Yamen of Dali Temple from here, and you can sleep for an extra quarter of an hour in the morning." ”

Qi Tanying was stunned, did he plan to stay?

"But..."

Before she could say the next words, she saw Yan Li suddenly laugh, "I'm joking, my mother is worried about my mother-in-law's body, I'll go back and talk to her." ”

Qi Tanying breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and personally sent her husband to the door.

After Yan Li left, Qi Tanying's face immediately sank, "Brother Kun still refuses to eat?" ”

Ting Lan frowned, "The food that was served in the past was returned as it was." ”

Since yesterday, Qi Yukun has been rushed to the small Buddha hall by Mrs. Qi to reflect, and at this time, there is no water and no rice.

Qi Tanying's face became even more ugly, what, did he still want to threaten her and her mother with a hunger strike?

Qi Tanying went to the small Buddha hall with anger and scolded Qi Yukun with his head and face.

"Parents who suffer from the body, do you still know what filial piety is if you don't eat or drink and spoil your body?"

The scolded man hung his head and remained silent.

Qi Tanying pulled him up from the futon, "My mother was so angry with you that she was sick in bed, don't you feel distressed at all?" I've told you so much truth, and you're going to turn a deaf ear? Qi Yukun, let me tell you, if you are still obsessed and have to associate with Jiang Zhenyu, don't blame me for doing something irreparable. ”

"You also know, the people in the old house in Wuzhou bullied us, and in order to maintain our home, I dared to fight with a knife. If Jiang Zhenyu is determined to destroy you and our Qi family, I don't know what I will do. ”

"Sister."

Qi Yukun finally raised his head after hearing Jiang Zhenyu's name, "Don't be impulsive. ”

"Huh, don't be impulsive?" Qi Tanying sneered, "I can't control you, and you don't want to care about me." If I do something wrong, I will be judged by my own government, but until then, I will surely make the man who ruined my brother pay. ”

Qi Yukun's face turned pale when he heard this, "Sister, you..." He stood there with a vague breath, his lips moved a few times, and he never said the sentence "You are forcing me".

He knew that she was a man of her word.

He hung his head and remained silent for a long time. The atmosphere in the hall became stagnant.

Qi Tanying waited patiently for his response quietly, but her palms were wet.

She is gambling, she and Jiang Zhenyu are in her brother's heart, which is more important? She was waiting, waiting for her brother to find out.

After a long time, she finally heard his answer, "I was wrong. ”

Qi Tanying looked at the young man standing in front of her fixedly, only to see that the corners of his eyes were red, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

said hoarsely: "Sister, I was wrong, I... I'll listen to you in the future. ”

Qi Tanying breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, look, she won the bet.

She smiled and took her brother's hand, "Sister knows that you feel uncomfortable, so you will be fine in a few days." Let's go, go back with me and get something to eat. ”

Time is a good thing, it will help people erase the pain in their hearts.

Qi Yukun let her sister pull her and followed her out of the small Buddha hall like a puppet.
