Xiao Yunchen watched Li Sisi leave as she turned out of the courtyard gate, then whispered, "Ruliu."
Ru Liu came out from the darkness and said, "Sir, I'm here."
"Are all our people here now?" Xiao Yunchen turned to look at him and asked in a deep voice.
When Ru Liu saw his young master's indifferent expression and deep eyes, he couldn't help but be shocked, and vaguely felt that his young master was planning something big.
"Sir, we're all here."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunchen turned around and walked into the house. He picked up the pen and started writing with the ink he had just ground.
Ru Liu followed closely behind him and waited respectfully, listening to Xiao Yunchen writing and talking.
"Have Rufeng return to the capital as quickly as possible and secretly investigate the relationship between Chen Fu and Yun Qiuwu before they got married. He should also find their handwriting and paintings, as well as detailed information about their interests..."
Ru Liu was shocked as she listened to her master's instructions one by one.
What happened in the house just now that his son actually started to suspect the first and second wives?
Seeing that Xiao Yunchen had already written the letter, Ru Liu hurried forward to take it and replied, "Yes, I'll do it right away."
Li Sisi happily went back with the divorce papers.
But when passing by the government office, he met Lao Tong who was on duty.
Lao Tong saw her walking from the corridor. The tightly tied hair crown on her head was slightly tilted, and a berry-red mark on her neck above the collar of her neat official robe was particularly conspicuous.
Lao Tong recalled Pei Yanli's gloomy face when he left just now, but now he saw Li Sisi's face full of joy, with red marks of intimacy still remaining on her neck.
I can’t help but sigh, it’s still good to be young!
When Little Li first came to the government office, he could tell that this girl was no ordinary person. As expected, she ended up being paired with the black-faced, devil-like Boss Pei.
Now he has become even bolder, even daring to tease the Black-Faced King of Hell?
Lao Tong couldn't help but clasp his hands together towards Li Sisi, saying in a voice of admiration, "Boss, don't be afraid. Boss Pei may look cold and heartless, but he actually has a kind heart! Just attack boldly and leave him with no way to retreat, and he'll surrender."
Li Sisi was confused by what he said: "What happened to Pei Yanli?"
"Lord Pei has just left. If you go after him now, you might be able to catch up with him." Lao Tong kindly reminded.
Li Sisi's face was full of surprise and joy. She smiled and waved her hands: "I know. I'll go right away."
Li Sisi trotted back looking for him, and finally saw a tall man in an official robe and standing straight in front of the store selling ice cream on the street.
"Pei Yanli!"
Pei Yanli looked at the girl running towards him with a bright smile on her face, and his jealousy eased a little.
When she ran closer, Pei Yanli saw the red mark on her neck and his breathing suddenly stopped.
Li Sisi pulled out the divorce agreement she had just obtained, like she was presenting a treasure: "Look, what is this?!"
Li Sisi turned the divorce agreement towards him, but the man opposite did not smile at all. His eyes, which usually had a gentle smile on them when facing her, were now filled with cold seriousness.
Sensing the strong cold aura around him, Li Sisi's smile froze, and her joyful eyes gradually turned nervous: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Pei Yanli looked at her at this moment, and she seemed like a young girl who was just beginning to fall in love, nervous and shy in front of her lover.
He asked in a deep voice, "What did you exchange for the divorce?"
Li Sisi was stunned for a moment. How did Pei Yanli know that she was exchanging things?
She must not tell anyone except Nian Nian about the exchange of health tonic pills with the system.
After thinking for a while, she told half the truth: "Use a portrait. Although the painting is not good-looking, Xiao Yunchen is satisfied with it, so he agreed."
Pei Yanli unconsciously thought of the picture album that Xiao Yunchen had shown him. He raised his hand slightly and then quickly put it down, hanging it at his side and clenching it into a fist.
His eyes darkened even further, and even his voice grew colder and harsher. "Go back quickly! It's not time to leave your post yet. As an official, you shouldn't neglect your duties."
Li Sisi noticed that he was in a bad mood and asked cautiously, "Will you come to pick me up today?"
Pei Yanli said coldly: "I'm busy with official business today and don't have time."
Li Sisi's eyes were filled with disappointment. She pressed on, "Are you angry? Did I do something wrong?"
Li Sisi couldn't help but think of what Aunt Pei said to her early this morning. Could it be that Pei Yanli thought the same way?
Pei Yanli looked at her innocent look at this moment, and remembered what he had heard in the capital before, that the men and women in the harems of aristocratic families indulged in pleasure and were extremely licentious.
He didn't believe it before, thinking that if children grew up in such a strict environment and learned etiquette and virtue from a young age, how could they raise dissolute and immoral children?
Now, seeing the woman in front of him openly talking about love with him while wearing kiss marks from other men, he finally believed it a little.
Words like sharp blades rolled back and forth in his throat, but Pei Yanli still couldn't bear to say them out loud.
Seeing that Li Sisi was still staring at him in confusion, he finally suppressed his emotions, exhaled lightly, and said seriously: "Sisi, I hope you will think carefully about what is going on between us."
After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry as if he didn't want to stay any longer.
Li Sisi stood there in a daze, wondering what Pei Yanli meant.
Was she broken up with?
The gradually slanting sun slowly lost its original warmth, the sunlight faded, and the clouds hanging in the western sky dyed red.
The colorful rays of light fell on the roof of Li's house.
Li Nian is afraid of the cold, so at this evening, Xiaoying had already lit a charcoal fire in her room.
When I finish my shower at night and go into the house, the temperature is just warm and comfortable.
"Madam, this is the letter sent back by the master today." Xiaobai took out a letter in a red envelope.
"I understand. Let's put it there first." Li Nian raised his eyes, put down the pen in his hand and stood up.
Xiaobai put down the letter and walked out of the house.
Li Nian asked Xiaoying to go back to her room to rest, while she walked to the tea table, took the envelope from it, and opened it while walking towards the wooden couch.
"Lu Yao and I are in love..." After reading this first sentence, Li Nian's lips curled up slightly and muttered, "Who is in love with you?"
"Beauty finally knows the pain of lovesickness, longing for it day after day but not being able to get it."
Li Nian thought for a long time, this sentence... is a bit hard to understand?
The beauty finally understands the pain of lovesickness. She thinks about him every day but can’t get him. Is that what it means?
But how could he be sure that I finally understood the pain of longing? And how could he know that I wanted it but couldn't get it? She didn't have it at all!
Li Nian took out the letters that Xiao Yunyu had sent back a few days ago from the drawer, one letter a day, all of them were love poems!
Li Nian sighed softly and thought that she should talk to Xiao Yunyu and write a letter directly in the form of speaking! She really couldn't understand where the true feelings were in this thing.
Thinking of Xiao Yunyu's failure in the imperial examination, she even suspected that the poem was not written by him.
Li Nian walked to the desk, ground ink, and began to reply.
"I've received your letter, but not your heart. Please be more direct next time. Thank you." At this point, Li Nian suddenly had an idea and wrote, "I'll return the love poems to you. Translate them into dialogues and send them back to me. Don't miss a single one!"
At the end, Li Nian maliciously wrote him a love poem: "I don't have the wings of a phoenix to fly with me, but our hearts are connected. Isn't it a good poem? I copied it."
