Chapter Seventy-Two: Two People Are Punished
When he arrived in the downtown area, Gao Ziang intended to make Wanning feel happy when she saw a dazzling array of goods. He led Wan Ning to deliberately slow down, walked to the stall, picked up Wan Ning's usual favorite jewelry, and asked her, "Do you look good?" Do you like it? ”
Ke Wanning was still in no mood: "Hurry up and go home." My father must be in a hurry, and the others must be in a hurry. She pulled Gao Ziang and hurried away, but as soon as she remembered what she had done, she was worried about how to explain to her father, and her pace slowed down again. Along the way, Wanning was in this kind of entanglement. The dazzling array of goods does not arouse her interest in the slightest, and it is very different from her usual.
It wasn't until late afternoon that the two returned to the Li Mansion.
"Miss! Sir, the young lady is back. The subordinates shouted happily when they saw Wan Ning.
Wan Ning asked, "Is my father at home?" ”
"Absolutely. Miss, you didn't come back last night, and my lord is going crazy. ”
"Where is he?"
"The master is in the study."
Wan Ning and Gao Ziang didn't say anything else, nor did they ask anything else. Walked straight to Li Zhenghang's study. Li Zhenghang was sitting at his desk with a book in his hand, and Wan Ning and Gao Ziang knelt down when they saw him. Wan Ning whispered, "Father, my daughter is back." ”
"You still have the face to kneel! A girl who doesn't return all night, and the whole world is home. ”
"My daughter was wrong."
Gao Ziang also chimed in: "I didn't send Wanning back on time, and my nephew was also wrong." ”
Li Zhenghang got up and walked in front of them, looked at the two kneeling on the ground, and asked, "What's the matter?" Where did you go last night? ”
Wan Ning poured out the matter of marrying and being saved by her sister yesterday.
Li Zhenghang, who was already angry, asked, "What about your sister?" ”
Wan Ning understood that if he knew about his sister, he would be mad. But I can't help but say that now, I can't deceive my father anymore. So Wan Ning lowered her head and mustered up the courage to stammer: "Sister, the night before, I eloped with Brother Duan." ”
Sure enough, Li Zhenghang suddenly became angry, and the teacup on the table fell from the sky without any suspense, scattering fragments all over the ground. The two were startled, and the splashed debris seemed to fly towards Wan Ning, and Gao Ziang protected her.
An angry Li Zhenghang turned around and brushed his sleeves away, leaving Wanning and Gao Ziang kneeling in his study. The two had to bow their heads and atone for their sins. For a while, I could hear the sound of chirping not far from the study. It was the maids who were waiting for Wanning, eager to know how the young lady was doing. But no matter how worried they were, they didn't dare to approach Li Zhenghang's study.
Li Zhenghang returned to the main house, Wang Yunzhi looked at him and asked worriedly, "Why is the master so angry?" Why did Wan Ning go last night? ”
Li Zhenghang said angrily: "These things that don't go on the road are really angry with me!" Wanying actually eloped with a man! Yesterday, it was Wanning who got on the sedan chair for Wanying, and the son of the Gao family saved Wanning. They didn't dare to come back last night, and stayed out for the night. ”
Wang Yunzhi sighed: "It's really 'not a family that doesn't enter the door'! She comforted Li Zhenghang, "Master, don't be angry, you can't be angry for her!" Wanying will go, probably providential. ”
"Madam, you can't say that. Wanying is a person with a special identity, and if she doesn't get it right, it will be a big disaster. ”
"Since she went with Duan Ruiyi, she probably won't make much waves." Wang Yunzhi's words made Li Zhenghang's heart feel a little calmer, and it was time to think about his daughter's affairs, a woman didn't return all night, no matter if it didn't work.
Two hours later, Li Zhenghang dissipated some of his anger, and he returned to his study.
Gao Ziang wanted to shoulder it, but he didn't give him a chance at all. So as soon as Li Zhenghang stepped into the study, he said, "Uncle, you are angry." Wanning and a group of weak women can only think of running away, and it is all my idea to drop bags and rob relatives. ”
Li Zhenghang was annoyed: "You are also the son of a big family, how can you be so nonsense!" ”
"Yes, my nephew was wrong."
"Li Wanying, this daughter, don't do it! But Wanning, Wanning got on the sedan chair before she left the cabinet, and was robbed halfway, this is spread out how you let her marry in the future! ”
Gao Ziang hurriedly said: "Uncle, I already have a marriage contract with Wanning, and the person Wanning wants to marry is me, and she doesn't need to marry again." ”
Li Zhenghang said: "Since you belong to her, you don't care about his name." He thoughtfully asked, "Aren't you kid doing it for yourself?" You guys last night—"
"Father!"
"Uncle!"
The two spoke in unison, and each was terrified. Wan Ning immediately explained: "My daughter is not a shameless person, and she has never been rude. Gao Ziang also hurriedly said: "My nephew will not tarnish Wanning's innocence." ”
Their performance made Li Zhenghang believe that nothing had happened, and the most important thing was that he believed Wanning, and his tone softened: "The woman's name is as big as the sky, you take her all day long to fool around!" ”
"Yes, uncle, what you have taught. The nephew will not be in the future. ”
This was the Li family's business, and it was Wanning who involved her brother, so she defended Gao Ziang: "Sister, she really doesn't like Zhu Yingjie, she already has someone she likes in her heart." She can't be forced to marry Zhu Yingjie, but yesterday was the day to welcome her relatives. My brother thought of letting me go to the sedan chair to replace my sister, also to save the face of the Li family. Don't blame your brother anymore. ”
Li Zhenghang, who had just lost a little anger, seemed to be provoked again: "The face of the Li family doesn't have to worry about the two of you!" ”
Seeing that Li Zhenghang was angry again, the two didn't dare to speak anymore, and kept their heads down and were silent.
Li Zhenghang sat on the chair for a long time before he spoke again: "You two, you can't meet again in private in the future." He frowned, took a sip of tea, and said slowly after two breaths: "Until you get married!" ”
Gao Ziang was stunned for an instant, and before he could speak, he heard Li Zhenghang continue: "Wanning, you are not allowed to go to the school, let's talk about it in a few days!" ”
Gao Ziang shouted excitedly: "Uncle! ”
Wan Ning tugged at him and shook her head.
Seeing that the two of them didn't speak again for a long time, they probably received the punishment. Li Zhenghang said again: "You two get up and do your own thing." The son of the Gao family also hurried back to Gaofu, your family is very strict, you have to give your father an explanation for what happened last night. ”
Wan Ning and Gao Ziang helped each other to get up, rubbed their legs, and walked out of Li Zhenghang's study. After that, Gao Ziang returned to Gaofu, and Wanning went to her mother's room.
Li Zhenghang was thinking in the study, and it was obvious that Wanning's entire mind was almost running away with the man, and she had to be distracted and distracted. So he instructed his subordinates: "Call the young lady to meet me." ”
"Yes, sir."
Wan Ning hurriedly came to her father's study and looked at him timidly: "Father, you called me." ”
"You memorize all the books in your study, and come to my study every day before dinner to write "University" and another one, you can choose your own article, and hand in a painting! If you can't finish it, you can't eat! ”
There has never been such a heavy study task, and of course Wan Ning has an opinion: "Father-"
As soon as he spoke, he was blocked back by Li Zhenghang: "There's no need to discuss, let's go back to the room without anything else." ”
