Chapter 47: Residual man sending gifts
Li Xiao Ran stood up and said: “Now we are like a harmonious family, do you know where you are wrong? Talk and let me see.”
Li Chang Le shyly said: “Nv’er’s learning is not refined, and has spoken irresponsibly.”
Li Min Feng look respectfully: “Er zi was impudent, misunderstood my good sister.”
Lao Furen gently smiled and said: “What wrong did Li Wei Yang do?”
Li Xiao Ran was stunned.
At this time, suddenly a voice said: “Sanjie has a wrong.”
Everyone was surprised, all are looking at the boy standing next to Li Wei Yang, he is wearing a red gown, a moon white jade belt on his waist, a cheerfulness on his brows, that did not reach his eyes, slightly raised eyes, when he smiled, there was a beautiful look about him that people couldn’t turn their eyes away, San Furen was taken aback: “Min De, what are you talking about?”
Li Min De loudly said: “Sanjie does have a wrong! Her wrong is that she is too poor, therefore suspected by others! If Sanjie had enough money, how could she be suspected by others to be someone who would replace Lao Furen’s red ginseng to exchange for money? This shows that Sanjie is poor!”
This sounds like a child’s talk, but everyone was stunned, including the Li Xiao Ran who had a face full of righteousness ready to criticize Li Wei Yang for being too unyielding.
This move of Li Min De’s, without doubt was to aid Li Wei Yang, to avoid Li Xiao Ran criticizing her, while at the same time get a benefit.
Sure enough, Lao Furen could be heard saying: “From today onwards, San Xiaojie’s monthly allowance shall be doubled.”
Li Chang Xi suddenly stood up: “Lao Furen!” This way, wouldn’t she be lower than Li Wei Yang!
Lao Furen lightly said: “Let this matter rest, no one is allowed to talk about today’s incident.”
Li Wei Yang retreated two steps, keeping the appropriate smile for a granddaughter, already there was nothing to do with her.
Third prince still had to chat with the people, Li Wei Yang only made an excuse that she was tired and wanted to go back.
Just at this time, Zi Yan suddenly rushed out, chokingly said: “San Xiaojie, bring Nubi back with you! Nubi is guilty, please spare Nubi!”
Since the conspiracy has been brought to light, Da Furen definitely will not spare Zi Yan, since Zi Yan was aware of this, could she be considered to be not as stupid. However, did she think that she was a philanthropist? Since she dared to betray, then she must pay the price. Li Wei Yang gently smiled and said: “You already belong to Dage, therefore logically you cannot go back with me! From now on, serve him well!”
After saying this, she left without looking back, Zi Yan slumped on the floor, her face was of the color of despair.
Tuoba Zhen watched her walk away, a trace of smile appearing in his gaze. Li Wei Yang was it, he will remember her …
Li Wei Yang came out of He Xiang Yuan, then release Li Min De’s hand: “How did you come here?”
Li Min De blinked his eyes, his long eyelashes fluttering: “Sanjie, you are in danger, I have to protect you!”
Li Wei Yang can't help but laugh, squeezing his tofu white cheek, yes, slippery, feels good.
Li Min De’s cheeks have been squeezed so much, to the point of almost bleeding, he raise his face, looking straight at her: “Sanjie, how do you always stir up trouble!”
Li Wei Yang looked at his jet-black shiny eyes, when she initially helped him, one it was convenient, two it was useful, third was because he looked like Yu Li. But now, his appearance is outstanding, without the slightest trace of Yu Li, Min De, after all is just Min De.
Li Min De grabbed Li Wei Yang’s hand again: “Sandi, there are some rose dew prepared in the pavilion, come drink with me.”
At the pavilion, the wet nurse rushed out: “Aiya my San Shaoye, you have finally come back! If you didn’t Nubi will have to search for you again!”
Li Wei Yang felt strange, how did Li Min De knew of her difficulties? It seemed as though he was monitoring her.
However at the pavilion, Li Min De has already sat down, concentrating on eating the rose dew, the pink juice sticking on his rosy lips, making him look very handsome.
Li Wei Yang looked at him, the chill in her eyes slowly turning gentle, and couldn’t help but touch his head, Li Min De laughed, looked at Li Wei Yang, his eyes abruptly lighting up, except he seemed to have thought of something at that instant, his head slanted to the side, Li Wei Yang was taken aback.
“I am not a child.” He suddenly said stubbornly.
Li Min De looked forward to her: “I have grown up, do not look at me like a child!”
At the moment, his fair skin, seemed like rouge were spread on it, his voice had a childish sound to it, only his look was solemn.
Li Wei Yang suddenly laughed, because of his childish words at this moment, only a child in this world, would say that they have grown up.
Li Min De saw that Li Wei Yang did not believe him, suddenly grabbed Li Wei Yang’s hand, seriously said: “I will become strong, no one will ever bully you.”
Li Wei Yang’s black and white eyes blinked, finally unable to help it, laughed out loud.
Li Min De sulked, his Sanjie, had the most beautiful pair of eyes in this world: dark as ink, gentle as moonlight, as well as...solitary as the winter stars. All that he said, were all from the heart.
He was angry, because of her current disbelief, because of her disregard of the matter.
Bai Zhi was staring at San Shaoye, gently sighed, such a beautiful young boy, unexpectedly devoted to her own Xiaojie.
A distance away, Tuoba Zhen came out, through the corridor, suddenly stopped walking.
He was looking at the young girl smiling like a flower at the pavilion, temporarily unable to link her to the cold-hearted girl with claws in the main hall from earlier.
A young girl, clearly not yet grown, yet beared the uncertainty and complications of an adult, really interesting.
Behind him, Li Min Feng who would soon be kneeling at the ancestral hall, said hatefully: “That damn girl!”
Tuoba Zhen turned his head, said: “Brother Min Feng, this round, you were unwise!”
Li Min Feng originally only had the mentality of tricking someone, thought that just one shot would be able to push Li Wei Yang on the brink of death. But he did not think that instead of stealing a chicken, he would lose the rice, he lost face in front of the entire family, causing his noble sister to kneel and admitted wrong, this was an upsetting moment, unable to restrain but detestably said: “There will be a time for her to cry in pain!”
Tuoba Zhen lightly said: “ Men should focus on the imperial court, rather the house, you should not participate in these unnecessary battle.”
Li Min Feng was surprised, silent for a moment, his expression changing, but finally said: “Yes.”
Tuoba Zhen once again casted a glance at Li Wei Yang in the distance and smiled slightly.
That night, just as dinner started, Mo Zhu came into the house and said: “Xiaojie, Third Prince has sent someone to deliver gifts for all the madames and misses.”
Li Wei Yang raised her eyes, slightly displeased, Mo Zhu carefully said: “Xiaojie, look---”
“What is it?” Bai Zhi glanced at Li Wei Yang’s face, quietly asked.
“A pot of Begonias.”
