After his son Liu Chengzhi left the study, Young Master Liu walked to the window and gently pushed the window open a gap.
After stopping at the window, Young Master Liu looked at Liu Chengzhi from the crack of the window who walked to the courtyard outside the study and knelt down silently, and raised his eyebrows slightly.
After quietly staring at Liu Chengzhi who was kneeling in the courtyard with a determined expression for a long time, Young Master Liu silently turned around and walked to the chair to sit down, picked up the book he just read and started reading again.
"This kid is good at everything, but he still lacks training."
After muttering something to himself, Liu Mingzhi was immersed in the contents of the book in his hand, as if he had forgotten Liu Chengzhi, who was kneeling in the cold night outside the study.
One stick of incense, two sticks of incense, or more time had passed. There was another knock on the door in the study, and Qi Yun's soft voice sounded outside the door.
"Husband, is it convenient for me to come in?"
Liu Mingzhi took his mind back from the book and glanced at the door with no surprise.
"Yun'er, come in."
"good."
Qi Yun responded softly, holding a tray in her hand and walking lightly into the study.
"Husband, you didn't even eat dinner this time and just went into the study. I prepared some pastries and longan porridge for you to fill your stomach."
Liu Mingzhi put down the book and stood up to greet him. He took the tray from Qi Yun's hand and walked towards the table next to the stove.
"I'm not hungry yet! Otherwise, if you didn't come to see me off, I would have asked the maid to prepare it myself.
Come, sit down and get warm. It's quite cold outside, right? "
Qi Yun smiled sweetly, nodded with a slight smile and sat on the stool next to Liu Mingzhi.
"Husband, even if you are not hungry, I can still support you by eating a little bit.
This is my wish. You can’t let me down, right? "
Liu Mingzhi listened to Qi Yun's coquettish words and nuzzled his mouth towards the steaming longan porridge with a light smile.
"Okay, okay, in order to live up to Yun'er's feelings, isn't it okay for me to eat for my husband? But you have to let me wait for the porridge and water to cool down before drinking. If you drink it now, I'm afraid my husband won't even be able to speak. "
Qi Yun turned to look at the longan porridge that had just been cooked, and patted her forehead awkwardly.
"I've been negligent. I've been negligent. Isn't that okay?"
Young Master Liu picked up the fire tongs and fiddled with the briquettes in the stove a few times, then put the fire tongs back to their original place, and then put the copper kettle filled with cold water on top.
Mr. Liu clapped his palms a few times and walked behind Qi Yun, grabbing the beautiful woman's slender but somewhat plump Liu waist. With a little force, he lifted the beautiful woman onto his lap and sat down across her.
Under the gaze of Qi Yun's shy and charming eyes, Liu Mingzhi grabbed the beauty's slightly cold jade hands and put them into his arms. He nodded slightly and kissed Qi Yunying's lips deeply for a while.
Looking at Qi Yunchun's watery, charming and blurred eyes, Liu Mingzhi gently moved his hands on Qi Yun's willow waist, and asked with a faint smile: "Tell me, which maid who passed by the study gave you Yun'er The one who tipped off the news?"
Qi Yun's phoenix eyes flickered for a moment, and she lowered her head with a sneer: "What's the purpose of spreading the news? What's the point of saying something so unpleasant? I heard that my son was punished, why don't you come and see what's going on?"
"Okay, of course, Yun'er, just wait and see. Not only you, Sister Ya and the others will definitely come over to intercede for Chengzhi on behalf of her husband in a while.
If you don't want to be disturbed again and again, my husband must take care of you, this annoying female temptress. "
Qi Yun took out her warmed hands and hit Young Master Liu on the shoulder angrily: "You are the goblin! And you are also a playboy goblin.
Husband, what is going on over there with Chengzhi? After you came back, I didn't hear any noise, nor did I hear any news that Chengzhi and the others were causing trouble outside again. Why did you let him kneel outside to be punished when everything was fine?
It's freezing outside now, can't you feel sorry for your child? "
"He didn't make any mistakes, and he didn't cause any trouble. My husband just wanted to temper his character.
This child is already eighteen this year, and he is no longer young. It is time to train him properly. "
"But... there are many ways to temper one's character, why do you have to use this method? Even if you let him kneel in the house, it is better than kneeling in the yard where the cold wind blows!
If you accidentally catch the cold, I'll see how you end up.
Besides, there has to be a reason to temper your character, right? What did you tell Chengzhi? "
Liu Mingzhi pondered for a moment and then told the whole story of the conversation he had just had with his son.
After hearing this, Qi Yun's delicate body sitting softly on Young Master Liu couldn't help but straighten up. She looked down at Young Master Liu tightly with her phoenix eyes, her face showing a hint of nervousness.
How deep the relationship between his son Liu Chengzhi and his future daughter-in-law Li Jingyao is. Liu Mingzhi, a father who often goes out to set up stalls and tell fortunes all year round, doesn't know very well, but his mother knows it very well!
Although the two children have not officially gotten married yet, it is not an exaggeration to say that the relationship between the two children is that of you and me.
If what her husband just said was true and he planned to separate the lovers alive, Qi Yun simply couldn't imagine what kind of blow this would be to her son.
Therefore, because she was worried about her son, Qi Yun had no time to think carefully about the meaning of her husband's words, so she asked her question in confusion.
"Husband, you don't really want to regret the marriage between Chengzhi and Jingyao, do you?"
Looking at Qi Yun's pretty and nervous face, Liu Mingzhi couldn't help but laugh. This silly lady really cares about her. Wasn't what he just said clear enough?
"Silly lady, what are you thinking about? My husband is extremely satisfied with Jingyao, his future daughter-in-law. The reason why I said that to this kid Chengzhi is because I want to see what his character is like."
Qi Yun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, her tense heart gradually calmed down, and she patted her proud mountain and nodded.
"That's good, that's good. Husband, if you really break up the marriage of these two children, I don't know what will happen to Chengzhi, but I will definitely complain about you.
And Sister He Shu will definitely complain about you. I can see it. Although Sister He Shu is usually gentle and considerate, she is a well-educated, sensible and considerate good woman, but if you really let her down, In the end, the only one who suffers is you. "
"Silly lady, don't worry, my husband is only thirty-nine years old this year, and he has not yet reached the age of old fool!
As the saying goes, Tao would rather destroy ten temples than a single marriage. This is true for outsiders, let alone his own biological son. My husband is not so stupid as to do this kind of thing of beating mandarin ducks. "
Qi Yun angrily stretched out her slender jade fingers and caressed the soft flesh of Liu Dashao's waist: "It's good that you know, but I'll say hello to you first before doing this kind of thing next time. I'll save you." I don’t know why and I worry blindly.
On the way to your study, I was almost thinking about it. I couldn't figure out what kind of trouble Chengzhi got into today, so that you made him kneel outside the study.
I'm so busy all day long that I'm mentally and physically exhausted. Can't you be considerate of me? "
"Yes, yes, it's okay to do something wrong for your husband. Isn't it okay to make up for Yun'er properly after you finish your work and go back?"
Qi Yun's pretty face was immediately stained with a layer of crimson, and she blushed in embarrassment at Young Master Liu and murmured sweetly.
"Bad husband."
"Hahaha, my husband is not bad, but my wife doesn't love him!"
"Then has this child Chengzhi passed the test of your husband?"
Liu Mingzhi's eyes were focused for a moment, and the words Liu Chengzhi had said when he refuted him not long ago echoed in his mind. He looked down at Qi Yun, who was looking curiously, and smiled softly.
There was no nodding or denying.
"The sage said: A gentleman's glory will be exhausted in five lifetimes. There is no need to explain what this sentence means. Yun'er, you have read many poems and books, and you should understand its meaning."
"Of course I understand what it means."
"So, in order to avoid this kind of thing happening, the husband has to think about it again. Taking some things too hastily will only be counterproductive.
Let your husband think about it carefully. "
Qi Yun looked at her husband's deep eyes staring at the candlelight in front of her, and nodded obediently.
"Well! We are still young, and we will have plenty of time and opportunities to think about it slowly in the future. No matter what decision my husband makes, I am willing to go with him as a concubine."
Just as Qi Yun finished speaking, the knock on the door rang again, and Qinglian's voice sounded outside the door.
"Husband, I have come to bring you some food. Is it convenient for you now?"
Young Master Liu raised his brows and looked at Qi Yun who hurriedly stood up to adjust his robes with a smile and said softly: "Look, I know that you have to form a group to come over to plead for this brat."
Qi Yun gave Young Master Liu a charming look and walked towards the door with a smile: "Sister Lian'er, come in."
Qinglian pushed the door open and walked in. She blinked at Qi Yun who was coming towards her, and walked towards Young Master Liu with the tray in hand.
"Husband, you didn't have dinner when you came back. I'm here to bring you some food and wine."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the two plates of side dishes and a bottle of wine on the tray, and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, stop pretending to test your husband's tone one by one.
Let Sister Ya, Wanyan, Qingshi, Bizhu, Yunyao... Lingyi and the others come in too.
You both eat the same food, and you won’t be able to finish it even if you support your husband to death. Leave it to Liu Song and let him share it with the servants in the front yard. Just come in directly. "
Qinglian looked at Young Master Liu as if he had seen through everything. She laughed bitterly with her pretty face and turned to look at Qi Yun secretly.
Qi Yun felt the eyes of her good sisters and shrugged with a wry smile.
