What Jiang Xi hated the most was his look of not taking anyone seriously.
"Just wait, I want to see who dares to give you food without my instructions?"
"Also, just because you want to be my brother, you don't even think about how much you have."
Jiang Xi looked down upon him from the bottom of his heart. He ate his own food and lived in his own home. He really acted like he didn't know and thought someone owed him a few hundred silver taels.
If A Xue hadn't told him that Jiang Li was on good terms with him, he wouldn't have come here to taint this bad luck.
His mood became worse and worse, and he waved his sleeves and led Jiang Xue away.
I am not qualified to deal with him, but my mother is.
Jiang Li woke up naturally from her sleep today. There were few rules in their home. She went to sit in the old lady's yard for a while and then prepared to go back to her own yard.
When I returned to the courtyard, I heard several little maids whispering.
"Have you heard that the third young master was punished by the madam again? It seems that it was because of the fourth young master."
"Oh, it's really pitiful that the third young master has been helpless in the house for so many years."
"that is--"
When Jiang Li heard this, her heart skipped a beat.
Mother went to punish Pei Zhi again. Why didn't she know that this happened?
Qiantan saw his young lady stop and asked, "Miss, what happened?"
"Qiantan, go to Third Brother's yard."
Jiang Li walked into the yard. No one was guarding the yard. She only saw the young man kneeling upright under the apricot tree, his back looking even more resolute.
I don't know when it started to rain, making it look foggy.
Jiang Li looked at the young man not far away from her with mixed feelings in her heart.
Asking Qian Tan to wait behind him, he took a few steps forward.
"Third brother, it's raining. Get up quickly."
It was said to be the mother's order, but it was just a way of teasing the fourth brother and the others, but he didn't know why this time.
Pei Zhi didn't seem to expect that she would come.
"Mrs. Jiang asked me to kneel here, how dare I get up?"
When Pei Zhi said this, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, his eyes were narrow and narrow, and his tone was a bit teasing, but his eyes were very cold, making people feel that he was not close to him at all.
Jiang Li was scared from the bottom of her heart.
She knew that the man in front of her had always been a vengeful man, and she was helpless in the Jiang Mansion at the moment. When he flew out of this prison in the future, those who felt sorry for him before would probably not end well.
"Third brother, I'm going to beg my grandmother. You get up first."
Everyone dislikes him, but if he begs his grandmother, she will agree to him according to her temperament.
If he had to force himself, he could go to his grandmother and fight for a future for him.
Pei Zhi raised his eyes when he heard this. The cool breeze blew against the green bamboo, casting a shadow.
His expression was half-dark, "Why do you want to help me?"
Jiang Li knew that now was a good time to show her loyalty.
"My third brother and I are the same person."
She folded her hands together and gently stood on tiptoe to cover the drizzle on the boy's head.
The two were so close that Pei Zhi could even smell the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance on the little girl's body, which had a sweet and waxy aroma.
The two looked at each other, Jiang Li's almond-shaped eyes were round, "Third brother, I just returned to this mansion, and there is already an adopted sister who is about my age."
"I have no one to rely on except my grandmother."
What she said was sincere and she also meant it sincerely.
In the previous life, Jiang Xue's step-by-step provocation by several brothers and mother made them feel that their thoughts were not right.
Only my grandmother stood firmly by her side.
Pei Zhi sneered: "I'm different from you."
How can she understand the warmth and ups and downs of human relationships that she has experienced over the years?
Jiang Li knew many things and was not in a hurry. Hearing this, he nodded in agreement: "No matter what, I will protect my third brother."
The friendship that provides help in times of need will be deeply remembered in people's hearts.
Jiang Li will start from this moment and step by step into the heart of the future powerful minister.
As long as he treats her as his sister, his future journey will definitely be much smoother.
Pei Zhi looked at the petite girl in front of him, but when he said these words, he felt a little dumbfounded for a moment.
No one had ever said such a thing to himself.
It's really overestimating one's abilities.
However, it's not annoying.
Jiang Li was still injured and couldn't get out of the rain at all. The little maid stood at the door, watching anxiously.
Jiang Li also felt the drizzle falling on her body and couldn't help coughing twice. She had just come back and her body was really too weak and she needed more care.
She was thinking this in her heart, but she couldn't hold on anymore. She suddenly felt that her feet were unsteady, and she lost consciousness.
Pei Zhi subconsciously picked him up in his arms.
The little girl was very light, her sleeves were accidentally exposed, and there were many scars inside.
Qian Tan stood outside, watching his young lady faint, and was shocked.
"Third Young Master, my young lady's health is not yet well--"
She was about to burst into tears. The young lady's body was already weak and she had such a stubborn temper. What should she do if she got caught in the rain today and aggravated her injuries.
Pei Zhi stood up, holding the girl in his arms, his expression gloomy, Jiang Li, what on earth do you want to do?
Walk towards the room.
Qiantan followed nervously.
——
When Jiang Li woke up, it was already noon on the second day.
She only felt that her whole body was sore. Qian Tan found that her young lady had woken up and hurriedly called the doctor in.
After making sure nothing happened, the doctor left.
Jiang Li had a vague impression that her body was too hot, but she couldn't help but fainted after being soaked in the rain for a while.
"Qiantan, how is third brother?"
After they fainted, they would blame all the sins on the third brother, and then they would have to come out in trouble many times for no reason.
When Jiang Li thought about this, she couldn't help but wailed in her heart.
Qian Tan naturally understood what his young lady was thinking, "Don't worry, young lady, the third young master is staying well in his yard now. When the old lady heard that it was the third young master who sent the young lady back, she did not punish him. Instead, she exempted him from the punishment." kneel."
Jiang Li felt relieved after hearing this.
It took a lot of effort to please him, but if his third brother was punished again because he fainted, I wonder if Pei Zhi would take out this resentment on himself.
Although Pei Zhi looks normal now, judging from his past life experience, this person is an out-and-out lunatic.
Unless he really regards you as one of his own, your life will be like a piece of cake in his hands.
As if she suddenly reacted, she grabbed the sentence and asked: "Wait, what did you just say? Did the third brother send me back in person?"
