Chapter Ninety-Eight: Osmanthus Sugar Ball Soup

"Since you said that Dong Ge'er is our child, he will not blame his biological mother, if he can't even do this, then what is the use of this child?"

Hearing this, Lu Shangxuan's body looked stiff for a moment.

However, in the next second, he recovered, and then said this understatement, which made Lu Lianzhi panic.

"What's the point? You've made it clear to me! ”

However, Lu Shangxuan just shook his head, and said in a somewhat cold tone: "Since we all chose to do this, we should have expected that there might be such a result. ”

"I don't want to hear that!"

Lu Lianzhi cried sadly, and shouted a little hysterically, but she could only see Lu Shangxuan's indifferent back in despair.

This was the first time she realized the sense of panic that retribution brought her.

Even she didn't know why everything was going according to her plan a few months ago, but now it suddenly became completely out of control.

When she stood there until she couldn't shed tears, she dragged her body back to the courtyard in despair.

"Second Miss, you're back."

When Lu Lianzhi heard the voice, she saw the figure guarding outside the house at a glance.

For a moment, she thought it was Lu Shangxuan who was back, but when that voice sounded, the expression on Lu Lianzhi's face suddenly became disappointed.

"Li Ke, what are you doing here?"

Lu Lianzhi frowned, she was not in the mood to deal with him at the moment, so she passed by him.

It is estimated that Li Ke also saw that Lu Lianzhi was in a displeasure, so he stepped aside and said in a low voice: "Second Miss, the small one has prepared osmanthus sugar balls for you in the stove room, do you want to take a bite and rest?" ”

"You're sweet."

Lu Lianzhi did not refuse, but nodded and asked him to bring it over.

After a while, Li Ke walked into the room with sugar water and carefully placed it in front of Lu Lianzhi.

The remaining unlit candles in the room were also lit by him, illuminating the whole room brightly, making Lu Lianzhi's mood a little less depressed.

She glanced down at the osmanthus sugar balls in front of her, all of them were delicate and small, the stuffing was made of osmanthus nectar and peanuts, and the outer layer of water-milled powder skin was also dotted with a little osmanthus stamen, which looked particularly delicious and attractive.

"What else did you add to this sugar water?"

Lu Lianzhi picked up the bowl and smelled it, there seemed to be a faint smell of medicine, she raised her eyes and looked at Li Ke with some confusion and asked.

"The little second lady has been worried these days, and she looks like she doesn't think about tea and dinner, so she took it upon herself to ask the people in the stove room to add some nourishing tonics to you, maybe you can relieve your anxiety after drinking it."

"A tonic tonic? Oh, every month she Dou Lianyi allocates a little silver to me in this courtyard, and the group of snobbish subordinates in the stove room, where will they be willing to add any supplements to me, don't lie to me with these unfresh things. ”

Seeing Lu Lianzhi sneering, he wanted to put the bowl back on the table in disgust, Li Ke hurriedly explained: "That's not the case, Second Miss, the tonic in it was bought with the monthly money she saved, although it is not much, but it is definitely not the kind of bad taste, I hope Second Miss can enjoy a face." ”

"You bought it with your own monthly money?"

Lu Lianzhi was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed with Li Ke's words, and she said with some emotion: "You don't have much money every month, so why do you do such a stupid thing?" Besides, it's just a bowl of osmanthus sugar balls, and no matter how much supplements I add to it, it won't have any effect on my body in addition to affecting the taste. ”

"That's not the case," Li Ke shook his head and replied seriously: "The little one just wants the second miss to know that no matter when, as long as the second miss needs it, the little one is willing to do everything for the second miss." ”

Lu Lianzhi's heart moved slightly, and she suddenly raised her eyes to look at the respectful man standing in front of her.

In fact, it seems that his eyebrows and eyes are handsome, and he is not inferior to Lu Shangxuan at all.

It's just a little less extravagant.

Thinking of this, Lu Lianzhi lowered her head without saying a word, and scooped the osmanthus sugar balls into her mouth to taste the taste one by one.

It's almost winter, and the night outside is an irresistible cold, and a hazy mist escapes between conversations and breaths.

However, when she finished drinking the bowl of sweet soup in front of her, her body was inexplicably a little warmer and sweeter.

During this period, Li Ke stood quietly on the side and did not say half a word.

It wasn't until Lu Lianzhi put the silver spoon back into the bowl and made a crisp sound that he raised his eyebrows and looked over.

"Second Miss, the little one will clean up the table."

"There's no hurry."

Lu Lianzhi smiled at Li Ke rarely, she was originally born well, and this sudden smile was even brighter and more moving under the illumination of the candlelight in the room.

Seeing Li Ke's heart tremble, he was even more speechless.

Seeing this, Lu Lianzhi's smile deepened a little, and she got up, but for some reason her head seemed to be a little dizzy.

I only heard her low "sigh", and her body shook, looking like she was about to fall off if she couldn't stand on her feet.

Li Ke, who had been secretly paying attention to Lu Lianzhi, had his pupils shrank suddenly, and subconsciously reached out to help her.

Lu Lianzhi originally wanted to push Li Ke's hand away, but for some reason, a feeling of powerlessness suddenly hit her, causing her fingertips to brush the back of Li Ke's hand and slide down.

The touch of that moment made Li Ke swallow his saliva.

"Offended, Second Miss."

Li Ke didn't think about it, he hugged Lu Lianzhi tightly with his backhand, and apologized in a low voice.

"If you know it's an offense, why don't you let me go?"

Lu Lianzhi held Li Ke's sleeve weakly, and there was a faint light in her eyes.

Her words were hard, but her voice sounded as soft and soft as coquettishness, and she seemed to have completely forgotten the disparity between Li Ke and herself.

"The little one can't stand on his feet at the moment, and if he lets go rashly, I'm afraid that the second miss will hurt you."

Listening to Li Ke say so sincerely, but he didn't let go of his hand at all, Lu Lianzhi should have been angry at his transgression, but for some reason she couldn't lift her strength softly.

Even when she kept smelling the faint familiar fragrance on Li Ke's body, she was a little confused, and muttered, "You are so fragrant, what kind of fragrance is it?" ”

"Second Miss, you forgot again, the little one never uses any incense."

By the time Lu Lianzhi reacted, her whole body was almost in Li Ke's arms.
