Chapter 348 Li Rong's brain is waterlogged!
Chi Heng: "???"
The next second, Chi Heng suddenly flew into a rage, roaring at Li Rong: "Hey, Li Rong, I've put up with you for too long! As your friend, I came here and they wouldn't open the door. Am I useless or are you useless?"
Li Rong secretly moved further away to avoid being spit on in the face, and said, "What are you yelling about? Keep your voice down, don't scare the child."
As Li Rong spoke, he secretly let out a sigh of relief: "You've always been full of clever ideas. Perfect, give me some advice, Ah Nuan seems to be angry with me."
Chi Heng looked at his best friend, whose face was tinged with distress and whose brows were furrowed. It even reminded him of those sentimental, pedantic young men in the capital who spent their days composing poems.
"These are actually words from Li Rong. It's like being stabbed in the backside with a knife. I've never seen anything like it."
Li Rong frowned and glanced at Chi Heng: "Why do you talk so much? If you can't do anything, just go cool off somewhere else?"
He then pressed his ear against the door to listen to what was happening inside.
Chi Heng stared at him for a while, holding back her anger, but finally couldn't help but blurt out, "Hey, shouldn't you be the one being coaxed? You're the one who should be angry!"
Li Rong looked at him and said, "What are you trying to coax me for? Why would I be angry?"
Chi Heng's eyes widened: "Did you even see that portrait?"
For a moment, Chi Heng even had doubts: Could it be that Chen Shu drew the wrong person?
“I saw it.” Li Rong said casually, as if he were talking about the weather.
Chi Heng's eyes widened: "And then?"
Li Rong: "And then what? I saw the portrait and actually believed your nonsense, and didn't even recognize Anuan. No wonder Anuan was angry."
As Li Rong spoke, he let out a soft sigh. His eyes were filled with sorrow.
Chi Heng was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't care less about how embarrassing it was to say. He could only say incredulously, "Hey, your wife and I are both in the same portrait. Li Rong, aren't you angry? Are you stupid?"
How could he be brothers with such an idiot?
Li Rong glanced at Chi Heng from head to toe: "So what if I'm a painting? You don't actually think I, A Nuan, would be interested in you, do you?"
Chi Heng: "??!"
Is this even right?
Is this even something a human would say? Huh?
At this moment, he really wanted to know who this Lady Li Rong was.
Then, he rolled up his sleeves and knocked on the door three times.
"Someone, open the door."
“Well, sister-in-law, listen carefully. I am Duke Chi, and I am Li Rong’s best friend. Please open the door, sister-in-law, we have something to say to you.”
After saying this, he gave Li Rong a disappointed look.
Then, under the expectant gazes of several people, the door remained silent.
Chi Heng stood there awkwardly. It had been many years since he had felt turned away. He coughed lightly and looked at Li Lirong beside him: "Um, is your wife young and from a farming family? Does she not know what a Duke is?"
Seeing that Li Rong didn't speak, Chi Heng nudged him: "Hey, I'm asking you a question. Doesn't she know you're Li Rong?"
Thinking this way, Chi Heng felt somewhat comforted. Ignorance is bliss, right? Otherwise, how could a woman have locked them both out of the door?
Li Rong looked at Chi Heng as if she were a fool: "What's so special about it? The Imperial Advisor is still at my house. If Anuan is angry, even the Imperial Advisor won't feed her. Do you think he'd tolerate a Duke like you?"
Chi Heng's big eyes shone with a clear light, and the next second she burst into laughter: "You're really joking, do you think I'm stupid? You're not even feeding the Imperial Advisor, why don't you say she saved his life? Li Rong, you're getting more and more unreliable."
Then, he tried to knock on the door again. But this time, he knocked on empty air.
The door was opened from the inside the next second.
A warm, medicinal fragrance wafted out of the room. Chi Heng looked over instinctively, and a stunningly beautiful face suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Chi Heng's breath hitched, her eyes slowly widened, and a light gradually appeared in them. Even her mouth opened wide.
"She...she...she's even more beautiful than in the portrait!"
However, before she could finish speaking, the beauty in front of her was blocked by Li Rong's enormous figure, which was as large as a small mountain.
Chi Heng wanted to get a better look, so he moved to the left, but Li Rong also moved to the left. He moved to the right, and Li Rong moved to the right as well. Chi Heng snorted in anger, about to argue with Li Rong, when he heard a clear, cold voice.
"Li Rong, you're blocking my way."
Upon hearing this, Li Rong reluctantly stepped aside, but not completely.
Chi Heng stood on tiptoe and looked over Li Rong's shoulder, only able to see Jiang Nuanzhi's eyes, and was speechless for a moment.
He swallowed hard. No wonder this guy was willing to flatter her. So, he married such a beauty; even he would be willing to flatter her.
Jiang Nuanzhi stepped forward to stand beside Li Rong, then looked at Chi Heng seriously, her eyes narrowing unfriendly: "You are Chen Shu's master? Duke Chi Heng?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Heng glanced smugly at Li Rong, then snapped open the folding fan she carried and gently fanned herself. She cleared her throat, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and said, "Yes, that's me. Has your reputation reached you, sister-in-law?"
The words had barely left his mouth when a loud bang was heard. The door slammed shut again.
Jiang Nuanzhi's merciless voice came from inside the door: "Then that's right. You two should reflect on this together."
Chi Heng was stunned.
Chi Heng was stunned.
Chi Heng glanced at Li Rong, seemingly at a loss.
"What does this mean? I, the Duke of Chi, am also locked out?"
Li Rong glanced at Chi Heng, and after a long while, said again, "Useless."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "Stupid, clumsy, and useless."
Chi Heng pointed to his own nose: "I'm useless? You're talking nonsense! It's clearly you who's disliked by your wife!"
Li Rong's eyes turned cold, and the next second, he solemnly raised his hand: "See this? What is this?"
Chi Heng stared in disbelief: "This is... a jade grain?"
Li Rong nodded: "You're quite perceptive. Ah Nuan gave this to me specially when she went out. She must have been worried I was hungry! How could she not like me?"
Then, Li Rong took a bite.
Chi Heng looked utterly shocked: "How can you eat these jade grains? Are you crazy?"
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and added, "You were the one who just accepted these jade grains while trying to curry favor with me. Do you think I didn't see them? You even said that someone gave them to you."
Li Rong's expression remained unchanged, and his voice was steady: "The jade grains are still warm, and there are still Ah Nuan's teeth marks on them, so why can't we eat them?"
"Speak," he said, frowning at Chi Heng's disbelieving expression. "I'll make you admit defeat today!"
Chi Heng stared blankly as Li Rong picked up another hand warmer and handed it to him.
He instinctively took it, looking completely bewildered: "What does this mean?"
"Is it warm?" Li Rong said, "This was given to me by A Nuan, and this fluffy mat too. How could she not like me? And this little mat was given to me by my daughter. A Nuan must have asked her to give it to me."
Chi Heng: ".?"
Good heavens, someone come quick! Li Rong has lost his mind, he's hopeless.
Goodnight, my darlings! During this recommendation period, please vote for me! Sending you all my little hearts~~~
