Qin Zeng's palm was so big that it even covered her nose.
"Yeah... let go..."
Qin Zeng did not let go and dragged her out of the torture chamber before letting her go.
Li Qingyi straightened his hair and glared at him, "Why are you covering me?"
Qin Zeng frowned coldly and turned his head three times, "Don't look at anything inappropriate."
Li Qingyi said awkwardly: "It's too dark inside, I didn't see anything!"
Qin Zeng chuckled: "Next time, can I light a lamp for you?"
Li Qingyi's mouth twitched, "Why are you so serious?! Do you mind if I see other men? What if I get married in the future?"
Qin Zeng looked at her with disdain: "Can you still get married?"
Li Qingyi rubbed his chin like a man, "That's not necessarily true. Why am I smart? Maybe I can find a good way out for myself?"
Qin Zeng looked at her sideways and said, "You can try it."
Is this approval?
Li Qingyi was a little unsure, but she was unhappy and muttered: "Humph, dog official."
Qin Zeng's temples were beating wildly: "Go back to your Wei family and make trouble!"
Li Qingyi blinked and suddenly became happy again, "Okay! I will listen to Mr. Qin!"
Qin Zeng: "..."
*****
Changze was ordered to send Li Qingyi back to Wei Mansion.
Before Li Qingyi reached the second gate, he heard that the second lady of the Lin family of the Nanning Marquis Mansion had arrived.
Wei Laner was strolling in the garden. When he heard that she was coming back, he quickly took her with him.
The two of them walked around the house and saw Lin Shiyao, the concubine in the second room of the Lin family, passing by the front corridor carrying a food box.
Li Qingyi asked in confusion: "Why did the second lady of the Lin family come with a concubine?"
Wei Lan'er said: "She only has Lin Yi's son, and she is already dead. She is not a legitimate daughter or concubine. There must be one or two who can help her, right? Do you think this Lin Shiyao is here to help Mrs. Lin?" Are you mocking Second Aunt?"
After saying that, she told Jin Shu: "Follow me and see what she is doing with the food box."
After a while, Jin Shu ran back and said: "The fourth girl from the Gulin family went to Peilan Courtyard with snacks, saying she wanted to thank our second wife for the Liao Ling she gave her."
Li Qingyi wore a silk damask today.
This thing is more expensive than silk yarn. It has a soft texture and is sparkling and transparent. When it is hung high, it looks like a waterfall on Tiantai Mountain cascading under the bright moon. A set of skirts is worth a lot of money.
Wei Lan'er raised his eyebrows: "The Marquis of Nanning is so poor that Lin Shiyao has never seen this Ling Ling! Doesn't she know that this Ling Ling was given by Aunt Wen, and she actually ran to the second aunt? Thanks!"
Li Qingyi nodded, "It seems he doesn't know."
Wei Laner looked like he was watching a good show, "Isn't it Mrs. Lin who didn't tell her on purpose? When she went over to say thank you, she still didn't know how ugly the face of the second aunt was!"
This time Lin Shiyao went to the second lady's Peilan Courtyard with a few snacks she had made by herself.
The atmosphere in Peilan Courtyard has been gloomy these days, and the servants do not dare to make too much noise and do their own work quietly.
The Second Madam was resented by her sister-in-law, the Second Madam Lin, because of Lin Yi's previous incident, so she never returned to the Nanning Marquis Mansion. Then something happened with Aunt Wen. She was so anxious that she fell ill. She used this as an excuse not to leave the yard when someone came to the Lin family today. Unexpectedly, Lin Shiyao suddenly came to her door.
Wei Baozhu was feeding the second lady some medicine. She frowned and asked, "Why is she here?"
Fu'er hesitated to speak and whispered: "I said I came to thank Madam..."
There is no need to say thank you.
The Second Madam was originally unhappy because Aunt Wen was sending Christmas gifts to her parents' house, but after hearing this, she lost all mood.
She is shameless, and her daughter is also shameless.
When Wei Baozhu saw Lin Shiyao openly coming over to poke his heart, he immediately put away the smile that he seldom put away on weekdays, stuffed the medicine bowl into Fu'er's hand, and said, "Huh, let me go out and take a look!"
The second lady wanted to speak out to stop her, but she didn't have enough energy. She coughed several times as soon as she opened her mouth. Her heart was blocked and stuffy, but she didn't say anything.
The girls were all in a hurry, slapping some on the back and grabbing water.
Wei Baozhu walked to the door and listened to the movement inside. He was even more angry and clenched his pink fist tightly.
Lin Shiyao, who was standing outside the door, was frightened.
She had been very afraid of this aunt in the past. Her smile hid a knife. You thought she was saying good things, but in the blink of an eye she was tricked to the point where she didn't even know her parents. She never dared to offend her.
But thinking that her aunt had brought her such good clothes and felt pity for her in her heart, she plucked up her courage again.
There was a sound of footsteps.
Lin Shiyao looked up and saw Wei Baozhu walking out.
"cousin……"
Her voice was quiet, half flattering and half uneasy.
Wei Baozhu looked at her expression with contempt, then glanced at the thing in her hand, suppressing the anger in her heart.
"Why is the fourth cousin here?"
When she said "fourth cousin", I don't know if she meant to pronounce it unclearly, making it sound like "cousin."
Lin Shiyao's face turned pale, and she didn't even think about the fact that she had thanked the wrong person. She said bravely: "I haven't seen my aunt for a long time, and I don't have anything to offer, so I made some snacks for my aunt and cousin to try. "
Wei Baozhu glanced at the food box and said, "My mother is not feeling well and can't eat these sweet things. You can take it back."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Shiyao to speak, she turned around and returned to the house.
Yu'er whispered to Wei Baozhu, "Miss, Miss Lin may not know the truth, or she may have been deceived by Mrs. Lin. Why do you need to be as knowledgeable as her? If people find out, I'm afraid you will be blamed, and it will not be helpful to your reputation." .”
Fu'er Yu'er was newly selected by the second wife for Wei Baozhu. She was no worse than Ling'er Long'er. She was smart and steady, but her affection was different after all. Wei Baozhu was not in a good mood and scolded: "I want you to talk too much!"
Yu'er stopped talking.
Outside the house, Lin Shiyao was still standing in the distance blankly, tears welling up in her eyes, so embarrassed that she didn't know what to do.
It was just some snacks, so I took them away.
What is so sweet that you can’t eat it? Even if your aunt can’t eat it, doesn’t it mean that other people can’t eat it too?
In the final analysis, it's just something I don't want from her.
The maid Hongye tugged on her sleeves and whispered: "Girl, let's go first."
Lin Shiyao's head hung low, tears streaming down her face. Although she was just a little concubine, she had never been so embarrassed.
After walking a few steps out of Peilan Courtyard, Wei Laner and Li Qingyi walked over.
Seeing Lin Shiyao's appearance, they both felt at ease.
Wei Laner followed Wei Baozhu and called her cousin, "Cousin, what's wrong?"
When Lin Shiyao heard Wei Laner's concerned tone, she couldn't suppress the grievance in her heart, and she covered her face and started sobbing.
When Hongye saw Li Qingyi looking at her, she explained: "We girls wanted to say thank you to my aunt, but we didn't expect that my cousin had a cold face. She didn't let her in and confiscated her things."
Wei Laner took a look at the food box and realized what he was thinking.
She took a step forward, wiped the tears on Lin Shiyao's cheeks with a handkerchief, and comforted her softly: "Second sister is usually easier to talk to than anyone else. Now I don't know where I made you unhappy, so I asked you to give me some help." I bumped into him, so it must not have been aimed at you."
These words were obviously trying to persuade her, but they were actually saying that Wei Baozhu was unhappy and deliberately took out her anger on you because no one took you seriously, and no one would make the decision for you when you were wronged.
Li Qingyi looked at Wei Laner after hearing this.
Wei Lan'er is not like Wei Baozhu who always smiles when meeting people. She looks innocent and has no rules in doing things. She always seems to do things willfully. However, her calculations and provocations are always deeper than Wei Baozhu's. Harmful, actually sinister and ruthless.
Just like the last time in Chonghua Palace, when she learned that Wei Baozhu had colluded with Lin Yi to harm her, she refused to do anything and asked Lin Yi to cut off his children and grandchildren. Such a method is not something that an ordinary young lady can use, let alone a young lady. , even men may not commit such a vicious act.
Of course, except Qin Zeng.
After all, he is a powerful eunuch now, so he must use some perverted methods to be decent!
Li Qingyi expressed his understanding!
