Father Li started cursing again.
"He Lancheng! You brat! What did you tell me back then? You said you would be devoted to Yan'er, and that as long as I agreed to let her marry you, you would never let her suffer any grievances! But now, only three months after the wedding, you've already made Yan'er go back to her parents' home in anger! Do you even keep your word?"
“Father, what I say always stands.”
He Lanyi was in a state of turmoil. He wanted to find Li Yunyan immediately, but he didn't know how to face her.
Caught in a dilemma.
But the most urgent thing now is to bring her back! He was restless just thinking about her not being by his side.
He clasped his hands in a respectful bow, "Father, Mother, it's all my fault. Please give me a chance. I swear I will never let Yunyan suffer any more grievances!"
Seeing that Mr. Li wanted to continue, Mrs. Li tugged at his sleeve.
That's enough! Do you really want to make a scene and leave Yan'er to live at her parents' house for the rest of her life?
She pulled Li's father behind her and stepped forward, saying to her son-in-law, "Son-in-law, our Yan'er has never suffered any injustice since she was a child, but she is gentle and rarely loses her temper! If she accidentally breaks any of the rules of your Helan family, please forgive her. Our family is just a humble one and we really can't climb any high branches!"
After listening, Mr. Li rolled his eyes. His wife felt that she had spoken too forcefully, but although her voice was a little softer than his, the content was no worse than his!
Upon hearing this, He Lanyi felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy and bowed deeply once again.
"Mother, you're too kind! Yunyan is gentle and kind, and she didn't break any of our family rules. It's all my fault! I beg you, Father and Mother, for forgiveness!"
Having said all that, Mother Li felt the time was right and left the rest to her daughter.
She sighed softly, her voice regaining its gentle tone, "Young master, you've come at an inopportune time! Yan'er and Yun Gui have gone out to play and should be having breakfast on the next street now!"
"Thank you, Mother!"
He Lanyi bowed to the two elders, ran quickly out the door, and climbed into the carriage.
"Go to the next street!"
"yes!"
Li Yunyan and the other three had finished their noodles and were leisurely taking a walk to digest.
Su Zhan and Li Yungui flanked her on either side, leaving Qingyin to walk beside her young master and tilt her head to look at her mistress.
"Sis! I wasn't lying to you, was I? Isn't this place's braised noodles delicious?"
"Hmm, not bad!"
"Just a few more steps ahead, and you'll find that newly opened sesame seed cake stall! Let's go try it out!"
Li Yunyan laughed and said, "We said we were going out to have fun, but we ended up spending all our time eating!"
Li Yungui put her hands on her hips and said, "Eating and playing at the same time, isn't that great!"
Su Zhan listened quietly to their conversation, a pleasant smile playing on his lips.
When we arrived at the sesame seed cake stall, there was already a queue.
Su Zhan said, "Xiao Yan, you guys wait here for me, I'll go buy it!"
"Okay! Thank you, Brother Su!"
Su Zhan looked at her and said, "Xiao Yan, you have thanked me many times today. We weren't this distant before."
Li Yunyan lowered her eyes. "I understand."
Seeing her so obedient, Su Zhan really wanted to pat her head like he did when they were young, but he ultimately held back.
"wait for me."
When He Lanyi found her, he happened to see Li Yunyan and the other two standing on the side of the street.
She wore a light green dress today, and the morning sunlight shone on her hair, making it gleam with a vibrant luster. A gust of wind blew by, lifting the layers of her skirt and the two long ribbons at her slender waist, making her look like a fairy from the Jade Pool who had just descended to earth, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.
He jumped off the carriage and was about to stride toward her when he saw a tall man walking toward her with an extremely cheerful gait.
She took the things handed to her by the person, looked up at him, and smiled radiantly.
"Thank you so much, Brother Su!"
"Hmm?" Su Zhan looked at her, feigning displeasure.
Li Yunyan smiled mischievously, "I forgot again!"
Su Zhan looked down at her, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Li Yunyan smelled the delicious aroma of the sesame seed cake and was about to put it in her mouth when a large hand grabbed her wrist.
She looked up and immediately stopped smiling.
"Yunyan, come home with me!"
Li Yunyan turned her head away and ignored him.
Doesn't he like the silent treatment? Then she'll give him the silent treatment in return!
Su Zhan grabbed his hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't grab her like that, you'll hurt her!"
He Lanyi's expression darkened slightly. "Why are you everywhere?"
"I'm Xiaoyan's friend!"
"I am her husband!"
"You drove her home in anger, what kind of husband do you deserve to be her?"
"Our affairs are none of your business!"
"I'm not going to interfere, so what?"
The more the two argued, the closer they got, and a fight was about to break out.
Li Yungui quickly came over to mediate the fight, but he was also on Su Zhan's side.
"Brother-in-law! How could you let my sister suffer like this? Don't blame me for not taking your side. If you weren't my brother-in-law, I would have beaten you up with Brother Su Zhan!"
Li Yunyan was speechless. How come he, who was trying to mediate the fight, sounded like he was about to start a fight?
Her hand was still being held by He Lanyi, but he wasn't holding it hard, and Li Yunyan easily broke free.
"Stop arguing!"
He Lanyi looked at her and softened his voice, "Yunyan, come home with me."
"Xiaoyan, don't go back with him!"
He Lanyi, unable to contain himself any longer, exuded a murderous aura. "Do you want to die?"
Su Zhan was not afraid at all, and puffed out his chest, saying, "Do you dare to fight me?"
Seeing the murderous intent flash in He Lanyi's eyes, Su Zhan knew that he was still too weak to defeat him!
Li Yunyan tugged at Su Zhan's sleeve and shook her head at him, "Brother Su, he is my husband."
A pang of sadness flashed across Su Zhan's eyes. This form of address was a natural chasm between them, one that he could never cross no matter how hard he tried.
"Xiao Yan." His expression was somewhat dejected.
Li Yunyan smiled, as if bidding farewell, "Brother Su, you must do well in the martial arts exam! I believe in you!"
"Xiaoyan, I will!"
Listening to their incessant chatter, He Lanyi had long since grown impatient. He stared at her hand on Su Zhan's clothes eight hundred times, wishing he could burn a hole in the clothes.
Unable to resist any longer, he simply pulled her over, scooped her up in his arms, and strode toward the carriage.
Qingyin quickly followed; if she missed the carriage, she would have to walk back to Helan Mansion.
He Lanyi roughly put her into the carriage, snatched the oily thing from her hand, and shot it at Su Zhan like a hidden weapon.
Su Zhan raised his hand to catch it, his lips pressed tightly together, his eyes bloodshot.
He Lanyi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze filled with a strong warning.
If he ever sees this kid still bothering Yunyan again, he will definitely kill him silently!
