"Squeak"
The door of the ancestral hall was opened from the outside, and the afterglow of the setting sun outside shone a scorching light behind him.
He walked against the light, strolling leisurely until he stopped and squatted in front of Li Nian's small desk. His deep peach blossom eyes looked at her with a smile, and said in a teasing tone, "Tsk, how pitiful! Not only do you have to kneel in the ancestral hall, but you also have to copy books."
Li Nian didn't want to pay attention to him and silently said to herself, "little white flower character."
She stopped writing, raised her cute little face, and said softly with a bit of grievance: "If you do something wrong, you should be punished. Husband, don't worry about me. Go back and rest~"
Xiao Yunyu snorted lightly and said proudly, "I'm not worried about you."
Suddenly, he snatched away a piece of paper she had copied from the table. Then he stood up and said, "This one is confiscated!"
Li Nian looked up at him speechlessly: "Husband, these papers are numbered. If you take one, I will have one less."
The sunlight outside and the faint candlelight inside the house fell on him in a staggered manner, making his whole body layered, and a touch of tenderness inexplicably tinged his unruly and wanton appearance.
As soon as Li Nian finished speaking, he quickly bent down and took a piece of paper from Li Sisi's small table and placed it on her desk.
“Now there are quite a few.”
Li Sisi was stunned for a moment, then cursed, "Xiao Yunyu, are you crazy? I have a number on my papers too!"
Xiao Yunyu replied calmly, "Aren't you close to her? How could you be so reluctant to part with even a piece of paper?"
Li Sisi glared at him angrily: "If you hadn't taken Nian Nian's paper, would she have been short of it? What did you do with her paper? To eat it?"
Xiao Yunyu frowned and said, "It's none of your business," then turned and left.
Li Sisi looked at his arrogant and swaggering back and was so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Niannian, how on earth have you been able to tolerate him until now?!"
"It's just a piece of paper, not that serious." She returned Li Sisi's paper and took out another piece of paper from her own small table. She said calmly: "When the maids bring food tomorrow, just ask them to get another piece of paper."
"This isn't even about a piece of paper! He's just trying to find fault!"
Li Sisi was howling there for a long time, but she saw Li Nian lowering his eyes and continuing to copy the book silently, without any sign of anger.
She said with a look of dismay, "You are just too soft-hearted and easy to bully. You will be completely controlled by him in the future!"
Li Nianyi continued copying without even looking up, his tone calm: "There is no future for him and me."
————
The two best friends slept very restlessly that night.
I don’t know if it’s psychological factors, but it was a bit chilly in the ancestral hall in the second half of the night. In my half-awake state, I always felt that there was a dark shadow wandering around the house stealthily.
"Knock knock knock"
The two were awakened by a knock on the door.
She is so polite, she must be a maid.
Li Sisi rubbed her sore eyes, looked towards the door, and said loudly, "Come in."
Two maids came in, each holding a food box, and came before their master.
Li Nian lowered his head and was about to clean up the table when he saw a stack of neatly stacked papers with densely copied words on them.
She quickly took it and examined it carefully. It was her handwriting, and the content was all from "Female Virtue" and "Female Precepts".
Li Sisi saw her panicked look and followed her gaze. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Niannian, did you stay up all night last night? You actually copied everything?"
Li Nian was also stunned and incredulous: "I didn't."
She looked up at Li Sisi blankly: "I'm sure I didn't copy so much last night! These are not copied by me!"
She quickly compared the handwriting carefully.
Li Sisi also hurriedly took out a few copies of the handwriting and was stunned: "These words are exactly the same!"
The two best friends looked at each other in horror, and then shifted their gaze to the ancestral tablets in tacit understanding, and couldn't help but gasp.
Holy shit! What the hell?
The two maids put down the food and turned to leave. When they were about to close the door, they were interrupted by Li Sisi's quick reaction.
“Don’t close the door!”
Upon hearing this, the two maids obediently opened the door and ran away in a hurry.
Xiao Yunyu, who was rushing over, saw two maids delivering food running out as if they had seen a ghost. He stopped one of them and asked, "What happened?"
The maid from Shuixieju bowed her head and replied respectfully, "Master, the ancestors have appeared!"
Xiao Yunyu: ???
"Explain clearly."
"The young lady woke up and found that the book she hadn't finished copying last night had suddenly been copied by someone else!"
Hearing this, a smile flashed across Xiao Yunyu's eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc.
Then he let out a calm "Oh," raised one eyebrow in a warning arc, and said leisurely, "You two must keep this a secret. If I hear gossip about this to others, I will not forgive you."
The two maids quickly lowered their heads, bowed respectfully and promised: "Yes, this servant will never tell anyone about this."
Xiao Yunyu hummed softly.
He bent his deep and bright peach blossom eyes and looked at the ancestral hall in the morning light. The door was open at this time, and he could vaguely see two figures standing close together.
Li Nian and Li Sisi have accepted the reality. No matter whether it is the spirit of their ancestors appearing or not, it is to help her, not to harm her.
The two chatted while eating breakfast.
Li Sisi took a bite of the meat bun in her hand and said, "Well, since you have finished copying, go ahead and have a good sleep."
Li Nian lowered his head and took a sip of porridge, then refused: "No, if you want to go out, let's go out together. I'll help you copy after we finish eating."
"That's fine." Li Sisi finished the last bite of the bun, held up the bowl with both hands and drank a mouthful of porridge. She continued with a satisfied look, "But you go and report first. After you're done, go back and have a good rest. Come back and accompany me after you've rested."
Seeing that she had finished her buns, Li Nian put hers on Li Sisi's plate: "You eat it, I can't finish it."
"After we're full, let's quickly copy and then go out together."
"Tsk, you are quite loyal." A familiar sarcastic voice sounded at the door.
Li Sisi watched Xiao Yunyu walk in casually, still eating a bun in his hand.
Xiao Yunyu watched her eat Li Nian's bun very naturally, frowned, and snorted: "You really can eat."
Li Sisi: ???
"It's none of your business! I didn't eat yours!"
"You ate my wife's!"
…
The atmosphere in the ancestral hall suddenly became deathly silent.
Xiao Yunyu realized what he had said casually and wanted to bite off his tongue. The tips of his ears hidden in his hair turned red and his Adam's apple slid down.
"What I mean is, Yun Qiuwu's is mine. If you eat hers, you're eating mine."
Shit, what am I talking about!
