Chapter 57 Go and bite him
Li Siyu: "..."
Du Huaizhi looked at Du Ruozhi's anxious and worried eyes, feeling a mixture of emotions, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. Li Siyu stepped forward, embracing her with his long arms and pulling her towards him. "That's interesting, sister-in-law. Huaizhi is my legitimate wife. When did it become someone else's turn to 'protect' her?"
Du Ruozhi's eyes widened with anger. "I clearly heard the sound of porcelain breaking just now, and my sister's eyes were red. You must have bullied her!" She turned to look at Du Huaizhi, "Sister, don't hide it for him. Come with me! If father knew you were wronged, he would definitely stand up for you!"
Du Huaizhi looked at her sister's indignation, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart, but she also felt a little amused. She elbowed Li Siyu away, gently pulled out Du Ruozhi's tightly grasped hand, and patted her head soothingly, "He really did bully me. Help me bite him."
The playful words she uttered lightly took on a different meaning. Li Siyu's eyes locked on her, and his pupils darkened.
Du Ruozhi got the promise and stepped forward angrily. When Li Siyu's terrifying gaze swept over her, she immediately became timid. After being angry for a while, she hid beside Du Huaizhi.
"Sister, I... I can't beat him, I'm sorry..."
“Puchi——” Wei Shan couldn’t help but burst out laughing, “Hahaha——this Second Miss Du is still as cowardly as ever, hahahaha…”
Du Ruozhi gritted her teeth, but she couldn't beat this man, so she could only stand there and vent her anger, unable to do anything. Then she looked up at Du Huaizhi with tears in her eyes.
"Sister...I'm so useless..."
Du Huaizhi held his forehead helplessly and wanted to laugh, "How could it be, Zhizhi is the most obedient and useful." He glanced at the two of them and thought that Wei Shan came here not just for fun.
"I'm going out for a walk with Zhizhi." At this time, if such a request is made, Li Siyu will most likely not refuse.
As expected, Li Siyu responded, "Well, I'll let Wangduan go with you."
Du Huaizhi didn't say anything, just pulled Du Ruozhi away.
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the house, Du Ruozhi grabbed Du Huaizhi's sleeve and said, "Sister, don't hide it from me. How did Li Siyu bully you?"
She reached out and gently touched the red marks under Du Huaizhi's eyes, her eyes full of heartache, "You are so haggard, and you are still protecting him..."
Is this something you can just say casually? Du Huaizhi's forehead twitched, "It's really nothing, and this isn't all because of him." Seeing Du Ruozhi still looking unconvinced, she smiled helplessly, "If I were really wronged, I wouldn't solve it by crying."
Du Ruozhi bit her lower lip tightly, still not believing it, but since Du Huaizhi was unwilling to say anything, she didn't dare to ask any more.
Du Huaizhi looked at her listless appearance and couldn't help but pinch her face. "How are you and Xie Sui doing?"
I haven't seen those two guys in front of me for a long time, and I actually missed them a little.
Du Ruozhi blinked, a little confused, "What?" Then she thought of something, her face flushed, and she punched Du Huaizhi's arm twice, "Sister! You're teasing me again."
"I don't." Du Huaizhi didn't hide and let her play around. "You're also at the age where you should get married. Instead of looking around everywhere, it's better to find someone you know well. Besides, Xie Sui..." She paused, "Although he's a bit rigid, he's someone you can entrust your life to."
Du Ruozhi lowered her head and said nothing.
Du Huaizhi didn't know what she was thinking, so he just said, "I'm not making a decision for you. I'm just giving you a better choice. If you're interested in him, then try to get along with him."
Du Huaizhi was not very optimistic about Xie Sui. On the contrary, she had no interest in men. The reason she said that was because Du Ruozhi was growing up and had contact with more and more men. She was afraid that Du Ruozhi would be ignorant and be abducted by a yellow-haired man one day, which would be a loss.
Rather than regretting it one day, it is better to find a relatively normal one and settle down.
Du Ruozhi tugged at the hem of her skirt and stammered after a while, "Sister, actually... actually a few days ago, Mr. Xie seemed to have expressed his feelings to me." Her voice became smaller and smaller, until it was finally drowned out by the noisy voices.
"But I... I always feel like he's too serious, like a wooden tower, and everything he says and does is methodical. Whenever I get mad, he frowns and tries to reason with me, but when I really ignore him, he awkwardly comes to coax me with candy..."
Xie Sui used candy to coax Du Ruozhi. This scene was so funny no matter how you thought about it. Du Huaizhi raised an eyebrow, and the smile on his lips deepened. "So, you think he's boring?"
"No." Du Ruozhi answered decisively. She was almost stunned when she saw Du Huaizhi, and her face flushed instantly. "I don't know how to describe it, it's just... it's just..."
"I'm just not ready yet." Du Huaizhi took over the conversation.
Du Ruozhi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Yes, I'm just not ready yet."
"Love is a long-term thing, there's no need to rush." There's no rush. Xie Sui is old and it doesn't matter. I can just find another one. Du Huaizhi thought secretly.
Du Ruozhi nodded.
As they were talking, a sudden commotion broke out from the street corner. Du Huaizhi subconsciously protected Du Ruozhi behind him, and when he looked up, he saw a few ruffians surrounding a young girl selling flowers.
The bald man in the lead reached out to grab the bamboo basket, "Young lady, this flower is so beautiful, why don't you play with it with me?" Before he finished speaking, a green shadow flashed by, and Xue Feiheng appeared out of nowhere. With a wave of his long arm, he pushed the man back.
"You're robbing a woman in broad daylight. Where's the law?" He held a folding fan, his face stern, the jade pendant at his waist swaying slightly with his movements. The hooligans surrounded him, cursing, but the curses stopped abruptly after they saw his face.
Then, a mocking expression appeared on the bald man's face. "Who was it I thought it was? Turns out it's the famous eunuch's son. Hahahaha."
Several well-dressed men in the crowd roared with laughter. "Hahaha! I'm dying of laughter! The eunuch's son comes out to save the damsel in distress, but he didn't even bother wearing a mask to cover himself. He must have been recognized!"
"Other people are heroes who save beauties, and even if the beauties are still unmarried, they can choose to marry them, creating a beautiful story. But for Xue Feiheng, what's the difference between marrying and being a widow?"
"Hey, don't tell me, it's true."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
This outrageous remark attracted pointing and gossip from the onlookers. The rescued flower girl didn't even say thank you, didn't even bother to take the flower basket, and ran away quickly in shame.
Xue Feiheng seemed to have long been accustomed to this. The veins on his hand holding the folding fan bulged, but he still had a smile on his face. "I, Xue Feiheng, am still a third-rank young commander. I am completely different from you dandies who only know how to linger among the women."
