Chapter 48: On purpose, he must have deliberately acted like a handsome man taking a bath
Li Ying found it funny that this family's train of thought was always so fresh and unconventional.
Before Li Ying could answer, Lu Qingzhu came over.
"Grandma Ye, Aunt Tang, I'm Li Ying's junior apprentice Lu Qingzhu."
Grandma Ye and Tang Qiao were stunned. They never expected that Li Ying’s junior brother was actually the medical genius Lu Qingzhu of the Lu family.
"Junior Brother?" Ye Zhonghong didn't quite believe it: "Who would believe that?"
Lu Qingzhu glanced at Ye Zhonghong calmly and said, "It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I believe that Grandma Ye and Aunt Tang are sensible people."
Grandma Ye didn't know what to say. Her old face turned red and she sighed.
Tang Qiao smiled and said, "Jingchi has been too busy lately and hasn't had time to go home. Your grandma and I were planning to call you back for dinner, but we didn't expect to run into you here?"
Li Ying smiled faintly: "Grandma, Mom, since I have already moved out of the Ye family, there is no need to go back."
Grandma Ye's face became even uglier, and she was blaming the Ye family.
"Yingying, grandma knows you've been wronged, and I'll give you an explanation for this matter!"
"Grandma, I'm not wronged, because your grandson and I were married by agreement. There's no love between us. In a year, I'll divorce him, and from then on, the Ye family and I will go our separate ways. But there's one thing!" Li Ying looked at Ye Zhonghong: "Next time you run into her with her outspokenness, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Ye Zhonghong was frightened by the coldness in Li Ying's eyes and trembled a little.
"Zhonghong, apologize to your sister-in-law!" Tang Qiao ordered.
Ye Zhonghong was not convinced, but she still said, "I'm sorry!"
Li Ying's expression was cold. "Not every 'I'm sorry' can be exchanged for an 'It's okay'. I tolerate you because of your third brother. Grandma, Mom, it's getting late. I should go home."
After Li Ying finished speaking, she turned and left.
Lu Qingzhu smiled coldly: "I used to think that the Ye family was a kind family that could distinguish right from wrong. Now it seems that this is not the case at all!"
"This must be a misunderstanding." Tang Qiao said.
"What kind of misunderstanding could make you allow Ye Zhonghong to hurt my junior sister so badly?" Lu Qingzhu is the most protective of his children. If Li Ying didn't mention the Ye family's affairs, he wouldn't ask. But the attitude of the Ye family today made him realize how difficult it was for his junior sister.
A family like this isn't even worthy of carrying shoes for my junior sister!
"It's my fault that I didn't educate my daughter well, and she spoke without thinking. Please forgive me, Mr. Lu!" Tang Qiao apologized on behalf of her daughter.
Lu Qingzhu scoffed, "So the Ye family also likes to bully others and act according to the situation! I might as well remind you that after Li Ying leaves the Ye family, please stay away from her when you see her!"
After Lu Qingzhu finished speaking, he turned around and strode away.
Ye Zhonghong clenched her fists and said angrily, "What's so good about Li Ying that she can even win Lu Qingzhu's favor?"
"Zhonghong!" Tang Qiao was so angry that her whole body was shaking. "Reflect on this when you go back!"
Tang Qiao felt very regretful. Zhonghong had been locked up at home by the eldest brother to prevent her from causing trouble. As a mother, she couldn't bear it, so she secretly released Zhonghong and let her accompany her grandmother to see the flowers. She didn't expect that she would really cause trouble. Not only did she offend Li Ying, but she also offended Lu Qingzhu.
The Lu family is a well-known family in the imperial capital. Everyone in the circle knows it.
"Tang Qiao, let's not look at these flowers anymore. Let's go home."
"good."
Chunxue came back with Dangdang. When she heard that they were going home, she didn't say anything and just followed obediently.
Lu Qingzhu sent Li Ying back to the courtyard.
"Li Ying, Master told us to protect you and not let you suffer any injustice. Why did you endure everything and not tell Junior Brother?"
Li Ying smiled brightly: "Junior Brother, I have never been one to be wronged. If I really was wronged, it should be my own free will."
When she eloped with Lu Xingzhou to the countryside out of love, it was her own will. Apart from that, she would not let herself suffer any grievances.
She didn't care about the Ye family, so those were not grievances at all.
"Go back and have a good rest. If you have any problems in the future, I will support you."
Li Ying smiled: "Little Brother, I'm not that weak. Okay, go back quickly!"
Lu Qingzhu left and Li Ying entered the yard.
Aunt Yang has come over and is picking vegetables at the kitchen door.
There was a small portion of truffles in the vegetable basket beside me.
"Miss Ying." Aunt Yang stood up and greeted with a smile.
"Ye Jingchi is coming?"
"Captain Ye came to deliver some truffles and then left. He seemed to have injured his wrist and was bleeding a lot." Aunt Yang added.
"I understand. Thank you, Auntie."
Li Ying went to the pharmacy to sort out the herbs Zhou Qi sent.
Seeing some hemostatic drugs, Li Ying thought of what Aunt Yang said, took some herbs and went out.
Outside the military camp, Li Ying waited quietly. She didn't know why she came, perhaps out of gratitude for the little things Ye Jingchi had done.
But she definitely didn't think that she liked Ye Jingchi.
"Yingying!"
Ye Jingchi walked over with big strides. The water droplets on his hair had not been wiped dry yet, and they flowed down his cheeks and wet his clothes.
He was just taking a shower!
"I heard from Aunt Yang that you returned to the courtyard to deliver something and injured the back of your hand. These are hemostatic medicines. Take them." Li Ying handed the herbal medicine she had prepared to Ye Jingchi.
Ye Jingchi didn't take the herbs, but looked at Li Ying intently: "I don't know how to use these either. Can you help me bandage it?"
Li Ying raised her head and looked at Ye Jingchi: "I don't have time."
"The military parade will be held in a few days. If my hand doesn't heal, I might be eliminated." Ye Jingchi said with some regret.
Li Ying opened her mouth, as if it would be heartless to just leave like that, so she nodded and followed Ye Jingchi back to his dormitory.
"Don't go to the mountains to pick truffles if you have nothing to do. I'm tired of eating them," Li Ying warned.
"Okay, then tell me what you want to eat, and I'll make it as long as I have time."
"Ask Zhou Qi to make me whatever I want to eat. Ye Jingchi, you should focus on your career."
Ye Jingchi pulled his hand back, and the bandage he had just wrapped was loosened again.
"In your heart, I'm not even as good as Zhou Qi."
"Ye Jingchi, thank you for what you have done for me. I am very grateful. But gratitude is not love. What you are doing will only add burden to me and will not change the outcome." Li Ying said seriously.
Ye Jingchi knew that it was difficult for her to be moved because her heart had been hurt.
"Is it impossible to change, or do you not want to change the ending at all?" Ye Jingchi asked, staring into Li Ying's eyes.
Li Ying pondered for a moment and shook her head: "Ye Jingchi, to be honest, I don't like anyone in your Ye family except you."
Ye Jingchi held Li Ying's hand and said, "You are going to live with me anyway. It's enough for you to like me. Why do you have to like them?"
Li Ying was surprised.
Ye Jingchi blamed himself: "I know that when you first bought the Siheyuan, I stopped you and you had some opinions about me. Later, I found out that you were not happy living in the Ye family, so I did not stop you from buying the Siheyuan. I agreed to you moving out of the Ye family because you would be happier living in the Siheyuan than in the Ye family."
He's thinking about himself?!
