"lady."
Bai Ji walked back quickly with a happy smile on his face.
"What's wrong?" Fang Xu looked at her with a smile and his voice was soft.
Bai Ji walked up to her and exhaled, with a smile of success on his face, "Pei Guangzhi was dragged to the government by Lang Supervisor, and he said he was going to get slapped!"
Fang Xu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, played with the rattle with his fingers, and said in a deeper voice, "He asked for it."
Bai Ji smiled and nodded, then thought of something and leaned down slightly, "Madam, there is one more thing."
Fang Xu raised his eyes to look at her, and Bai Ji immediately said, "Master Lian is here."
Fang Xu paused, and there was an inexplicable flash in his eyes, "Young Master Lian...Lian Yan?"
"Yes." Bai Ji nodded, "He said he came to see the second young master."
"Looking for Xie Li?" Fang Xu frowned and said lightly, "It has just been two days since the Ninth Princess chose her son-in-law. The rash on Xie Li's face...is he willing to accept it?"
"Back to Madam, the Second Young Master didn't agree..." Bai Ji twitched the corner of his mouth and whispered, "Young Master didn't even hand over the coupons, he just climbed over the wall and came in..."
"Climb over the wall?" Fang Xu was stunned, his eyebrows beating, "That's it, let them go."
"yes."

Jingyuan
Xie Li was reading in the courtyard when he suddenly heard a rustling coming from the back wall.
Xie Li frowned imperceptibly and called in a low voice, "Changfan."
Changfan was taking a nap aside, and Xie Li called him fiercely, startling him, "Ah...Mr....Mr. sir?"
Xie Li turned the pages of the book with a dull look on his face, "There is movement on the wall. Go and see if there is a cat slave lying on it."
"yes."
Changfan wiped his saliva, stood up and looked towards the wall behind him. He suddenly met a person's face, his legs softened in fright, and he sat down on the ground, "Mr...Mr.! There is someone!"
Hearing this, Xie Li frowned and looked back, meeting Lian Yan's fair and handsome face.
"Xie Li!" Lian Yan's eyes lit up, he rolled down from the wall, walked quickly to him, bent down, "Is your face okay?"
Xie Li had a black hair and looked at Lian Yan with disbelief in his eyes. After a while, he found his voice and asked, "Why...are you here?"
"Let me take a look at you." Lian Yan sat down on the stone bench next to him, with a calm expression, as if this was not the Marquis but the Lian family, "Is your shoulder feeling better? I brought you some medicine."
Xie Li sighed softly, lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him. His whole body exuded the aura of keeping strangers away from him, "Master Lian, I have already told you that I am fine, you don't need to blame yourself."
"I know how strong my hand is." Lian Yan scratched his head, with a guilty look on his face, "My mother scolded me for not knowing how strong my hand was. It must have hurt you, so she specially asked me to come and take a look."
"No need." Xie Li stared at the book on his phone with a calm tone.
Lian Yan was lying on the stone table, not angry at Xie Li's indifference, and was minding his own business playing with the medicine in his hand.
"Second brother."
The door of Jingyuan was closed tightly, and there was a knock on the door.
Xie Li raised his head and his eyes fell on Changfan.
Changfan noticed the young master's gaze, quickly ran to the door, and pulled open the courtyard door.
Xie Wanzhou was dressed in an ivory white brocade dress, and the draped hat on her head was unusual. Instead of two layers of gauze overlapping, it was surrounded by a circle of tassel pendants, which rang with every step she took.
Her fair little face is unpainted, with two pearls pinned to her bun. Her eyebrows are unpainted and dark, her soft lips are red, her eyes are clear and bright, and her smile is gentle and pleasant.
Lian Yan's eyes fell on her, his breathing stagnated, and his fingers holding the wound medicine loosened a little.
"It's Wanzhou." Xie Li sat up straight and smiled, "But is there something wrong?"
"Sir, I have a day off today. I wanted to go to the market, so I came to tell my second brother to see if there is anything I need to buy. I will buy it too." Xie Wanzhou's voice was soft and waxy. , with a bit of a smile.
After finishing speaking, Xie Wanzhou looked sideways at Lian Yan, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "This is..."
"Ah, this..."
"Miss Xie, my name is Lian Yan, I live in Lianjiazhai in the capital, and I am your brother's friend!"
Without waiting for Xie Li's introduction, Lian Yan stood up instantly and took over the conversation.
Xie Li:......
When Xie Wanzhou heard this, a knowing smile appeared on his face, he knelt down and said, "I have met Mr. Lian."
The tassels on the curtain hat collide, making a pleasant sound.
Lian Yan blushed, waved his hands and said, "Thank you, miss, no need to be polite."
Xie Li glanced at him, and then looked at Xie Wanzhou. The smile on his face faded a little, and he whispered, "I don't lack anything important. Wanzhou can just buy what he has."
"Okay." Xie Wanzhou looked at them with a smile and said, "I'll go out first. Let's talk slowly."
Lian Yan stared at Xie Wanzhou's back until she disappeared around the corner, still unable to regain consciousness for a long time.
Xie Li's forehead was throbbing with veins. He tapped his fingertips on the table and gritted his teeth and said, "Master Lian, can you take back your eyes?"
After finishing speaking, Lian Yan came back to his senses. His face was still flushed and he was a little hesitant when speaking, "Then...that's your...sister?"
"Is her name Xie Wanzhou?"
"How old is she?"
"Where does she study?"
Xie Li:......
"Master Lian." Xie Li straightened his expression and said in a deep voice, "I accepted the medicine. Thank you for your kindness. I don't have to come here again. You and I are not familiar with each other, and we are not friends."
After saying that, Xie Li raised his hand and took away the small medicine bottle in Lian Yan's hand.
Lian Yan was not annoyed with him, and still pressed his hot face against his cold buttocks, "It doesn't matter, once we get used to it, we'll get to know each other again. This is the second time we've chatted, and we'll get to know each other right away!"
Xie Li:......
"Changfan." Xie Li closed the book heavily and whispered, "Send Mr. Lian out of the house!"
"Yes." Changfan trembled, walked quickly to Lian Yan, and whispered, "Master Lian, our master is tired, please come back."
"No." Lian Yan grinned, stood up and strode aside, lying down on the rocking chair while humming a tune, "Your garden seems deserted, I will warm it up for you."
Xie Li saw that his favorite rocking chair was occupied by uninvited guests, his temples jumped twice, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I am really grateful to you!"
"Don't be polite to me." Lian Yan put his hands on the back of his head and smiled brightly, "Which of us will follow the other!"
Xie Li slowly closed his eyes and said no more words.
I can't beat him in a fight, and I'm not as thick-skinned as him...
His silence at this moment was deafening.
"Xie Li!"
A charming female voice came from outside, and the three people in the courtyard were shocked.
Xie Li stared at the courtyard door with deep eyes.
Lian Yan looked horrified and quickly stood up from the rocking chair.
Changfan grinned, rushed to the courtyard gate, and said in a loud voice, "Ah, sir, it's Miss Song who's here!"
Lian Yan's eyes were about to burst, and he stretched out Erkang's hand, "No - I want - ah -"
It was too late to speak. The courtyard door was opened with a gap, and a pair of slightly calloused hands pressed against the door.
