Li Sisi stared, and her pretty face moved from Xiao Yunyu's hurriedly leaving back to Li Nian's face.
"Niannian, is your husband seriously ill?"
Thinking about how Xiao Yunyu had just left with a dark face for no apparent reason, and suddenly ran back halfway and snatched the paper she had just copied halfway on her desk.
She couldn't swallow this anger: "He took the paper you copied yesterday, and today he comes to steal mine? He is really sick!"
Li Nian didn't know what he was doing. Suddenly, she remembered that Xiao Yunyu took away a piece of paper yesterday, and she forgot to ask the maid for another one this morning.
"Sisi, come and help me count these copied papers to see if there is one missing."
After being reminded by her, Li Sisi realized that they must be missing two pieces of paper.
The two of them hurriedly and carefully counted the remaining ones.
"I have 100 here," said Li Sisi.
Li Nian: "I have 120 here."
"That old witch is so mean! She gave us 20 extra sheets of paper!" Li Sisi yelled. "I thought 200 copies was cruel enough, but she wanted us to copy 20 more. Is she treating us like slaves?"
Li Nian said as he sorted out the papers that had just been pulled into a mess, "Now is the perfect time. Not only do we have less, we have a lot more!"
Li Sisi looked at her helplessly: "Sister, you are really open-minded."
Li Nian frowned slightly: "Isn't that so?"
Li Sisi nodded: "Yes, that's right, that's right." Alas! Her daughter Nian Nian is too considerate, she can understand everyone's intentions.
The two counted the papers on Li Sisi's desk again, and there were only 199 pieces. That means Li Nian gave 20 more pieces?
"Old witch!" Li Sisi cursed softly.
The two of them put their bowls into the food box next to them and continued copying.
Before I knew it, it was time for lunch.
"Squeak"
The door of the ancestral hall was pushed open without warning.
The two of them quickly changed from sitting cross-legged to kneeling, and then they heard Xiao Yunya's boastful voice.
"Oh, what have you two sisters-in-law done wrong?" Xiao Yunya came over with light lotus steps. If she didn't speak, she really had the demeanor of a noble lady from a wealthy family.
It's a pity that he has a mouth.
Xiao Yunya's voice is a medium-high pitch, but the tone is a bit lazy.
"Yesterday I heard that the two sisters-in-law dressed up as a young couple and went to a brothel? How audacious! Mother's punishment was too lenient!"
She glanced at the piles of copied papers on their desks, curled her lips and raised her eyebrows, "You should be punished by copying 'Women's Virtues' and 'Women's Rules' a thousand times over, so that you won't do shameless things in the future and bring trouble to others."
"It's going to cause you to marry General Qi, right?" Li Sisi said quickly.
When Xiao Yunya heard her words, her face flushed violently, and she stammered in embarrassment and anger: "You, what nonsense are you talking about?! General Qi and I are innocent!"
"I know," Li Sisi said with a bright smile, "You are unrequited love!"
"Second sister-in-law, you've gone too far!" Xiao Yunya bit her lower lip. The blush on her face had not yet faded, and her eyes were red again.
She stamped her foot, her voice tinged with tears: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Li Sisi's smile froze, and she was a little surprised: "No way? His defense is broken already? I haven't even used my ultimate yet!"
Li Nian smiled lightly and reminded him, "Sisi, she is only fourteen years old."
In this era, girls reached the age of fourteen and boys reached the age of sixteen.
Xiao Yunyu's mother died of complications during childbirth. Less than a month after her death, Marquis Xiao could not wait to marry his childhood sweetheart as his second wife.
So, Xiao Yunyu is only one year older than Xiao Yunchen.
Xiao Yunyu is nineteen years old and Xiao Yunchen is eighteen years old.
"No way..." Li Sisi looked Xiao Yunya up and down in surprise, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you so precocious?"
Xiao Yunya snorted coldly with red eyes, and raised her chin proudly: "I have been personally taught by the palace maids since I was a child, so naturally I am more mature and dignified than you."
Li Sisi: ...
Haha, she is indeed a little girl. She is more beautiful than mature.
Okay, after all, her soul is ten years older than hers, so I should be more considerate of her in the future.
Li Sisi gave her a thumbs up: "Great!"
Xiao Yunya snorted proudly and glanced at Li Sisi's thumbs-up.
Last time at my second brother’s Jinxiu Residence, my eldest sister-in-law made the same gesture to my second sister-in-law.
A hint of curiosity flashed across Xiao Yunya's eyes, and her hands hanging in her sleeves also followed suit.
This gesture should mean praise, right?
"Ahem, I'm not here to see my two sisters-in-law laugh at me." Xiao Yunya stood straight, looking down at the two of them condescendingly. "Mother asked me to tell you that Her Royal Highness the Princess sent an invitation to the Summer Garden Party today."
With a slightly mocking look in his eyes, he reminded loudly, "Mother told the two sisters-in-law to prepare well and not to lose face for the mansion at tomorrow's Summer Garden Party."
After saying that, she slowly turned and left.
Li Nian felt a little nervous when she thought about the scene of meeting the princess in Furong Pavilion yesterday.
There is not much description of this princess in the book. We only know that she helped Xiao Yunyu a lot after she became an official in the court in the later period of his reign. She was also straightforward and behaved eccentrically.
The two have always had a good relationship, a bit like the friendship between friends.
But these are just settings in the book. She experienced it herself yesterday and it seems that the relationship between the two is not just simple friends!
Especially the princess's last sentence, "You married a good wife", which sounded a bit jealous.
"Niannian, why did the princess suddenly invite us both to the Summer Garden Party?"
"Ah?" Li Nian was pulled back to his scattered thoughts by Li Sisi's question. He paused and said seriously, "I don't know the reason, but I think it might not be a good thing. When the time comes, we should try not to separate. If we encounter any special circumstances, don't worry about anything else and just run!"
Li Sisi became nervous when she heard her say this: "No way? Isn't that princess a good person?"
She really regrets it now. Why did she skip around when reading the book?
Li Nian frowned, her charming face filled with seriousness and earnestness. "Whether she's a good person or not can't be judged from the perspective of a god reading a book. We have to judge by how she treats us."
"If it's a blessing, it's not a disaster. If it's a disaster, we should avoid it. It's always better to be cautious."
Li Sisi nodded vigorously: "Yes, you are right!"
