The mutton soup is ready, and all that’s left is to chop some meat and vegetables.
Mrs. Jiang saw that there were still a few fresh fish in the kitchen. She looked around the kitchen and found that all the seasonings were complete. She immediately took out two of them and made fish balls.
Madam Wei just washed and cut the vegetables and prepared all the vegetables in the kitchen. After she finished all this, she started to prepare dinner for the servants.
When it was time to eat, the food was served by two maids that Chen Li had just bought. The older one was called Qingzhi and the younger one was called Mengxia. Chen Li did not change their names and let them use their original names.
After dinner, Lin Cuicui and Bai Yao had already subconsciously stood up to clear the dishes, but Qingzhi and Mengxia had already come over and said, "Madam, please just sit down."
As they spoke, the two of them swiftly took away all the empty plates of food on the table. The whole family was still a little uncomfortable and blinked at each other.
Lu Jing and Lu Nian's expressions didn't change much, it was obvious that they had gotten used to it.
After eating, Chen Li returned to her Cuizhu Courtyard. The reason for coming to the courtyard was very simple, of course, it was because of the bamboo forest behind it.
In the evening, Chen Li played with Tuanzi in the space for a long time. During this time, Tuanzi ate and drank in the space. Without the threat from the outside world, he felt happy and fat. The whole bear had gained an unknown amount of weight.
But the hair on its body is full and shiny. Every time Chen Li sees it, she likes it very much and wants to hold it and touch it for a long time.
Just as she came out of the space, she heard a knock on the door. Chen Li was startled, and after seeing who was outside the door, she was furious.
"Master Pei, are you free?"
Chen Li, who was originally furious, asked this question as soon as she opened the door, but the next second, Odds's words made her feel completely disappointed.
"Where did you go just now? I knocked on the door for a long time, but I didn't notice you were inside. Where did you go in the middle of the night?"
Although Chen Li was dressed, her hair was untied and draped over her shoulders, which was different from usual.
Chen Li's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show any emotion on her face as she rolled her eyes.
"Master, it's winter and it's snowing outside. Where else can I go if I'm not in my room?"
"Then why didn't I notice your breathing just now?"
"Is it not okay that I'm practicing breath-holding?"
Pei Yu's eyes lit up slightly. "You have this skill, eh? Tell me how you practiced it?"
Chen Li: She just said it casually, how could she know how to practice it!
Only then did Chen Li smell a faint smell of blood coming from him.
He glanced outside. It was snowing heavily. The man didn't even wear a cloak. He was wearing black clothes. It was hard to tell where he was injured. He frowned and asked:
"Where have you been so late at night? Are you injured?"
Pei Yu's lips turned a little pale due to blood loss, but the corners of his lips were raised at this moment, forming a beautiful arc.
Chen Li: Is this guy stupid? How can he be so happy even though he is injured?
Perhaps the meaning in her eyes was too obvious, Pei Yu restrained his smile to avoid being treated as a fool by her, which would be counterproductive.
"We were attacked by some enemies."
Chen Li simply admired his ability to draw hatred, and asked sincerely: "Master, how did you manage to offend so many people and make everyone want to kill you?"
Pei Yu curled the corners of his lips. He had the leverage over those people in his hands, so naturally they wanted to kill him.
Looking at his pale face and remembering the gift he gave her, she couldn't bear it anymore and stepped aside: "Come in."
Pei Yu walked into the house and sat down. It was his first time entering Chen Li's room. He felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't look around, and his ears were a little red, but it was not obvious in the dark.
He has already entered Ali's room, so does that prove that he has made a little progress?
Chen Li closed the door at the back, picked up a tinder, lit two candles, and placed them on the table. The light in the room suddenly became brighter.
Turning around and walking to the other side, there are bookshelves, desks, and a medicine box.
"Where are you injured?" she asked as she took out the medicine and gauze.
"The lower back."
"Untie your clothes so I can see the wound."
After he finished speaking, Pei Yu looked a little awkward, but he still undressed.
"Why are you being so pretentious? It's not like you haven't seen it before."
Chen Li spoke softly, but the room was so quiet, and Pei Yu had good hearing, so he heard everything clearly.
My hands trembled. How come he had no recollection of when I saw it?
Could it be the time when he saved me in the mountains?
Thinking of the injuries he had at that time, he swallowed his saliva. Could it be that he had been seen naked?
While he was distracted, Chen Li had already seen the wound on his lower back. The wound was very deep. If it was deeper, he would probably have been choked in the kidney.
Chen Li went to find a small bottle of strong liquor and a basin of warm water next to it, intending to disinfect the area around the wound. "Bear with it for a while, the wound is deep, wash it with liquor."
After waiting for a while without hearing any response, she turned her head and found that the man was in a daze. That was good. Chen Li picked up the gauze and wiped off the blood around him.
No one knew what the man was thinking, and he didn't react until the wine was changed, and then he felt the muscle contraction.
"I've come back to my senses. What were you thinking about? You didn't even respond when I spoke to you."
"Well, it's okay. I just thought of something else."
Chen Li moved quickly and Pei Yu felt pain, but what was even more torturous was the itchiness brought by the girl's hand when it touched his skin, which made him feel itchy.
After treating his wound, Chen Li picked up a clean cloth and took the time to glance at Pei Yu's waist, almost whistling.
In fact, physical actions are more practical. The whistle has been blown, but there is no sound.
Pei Yu's body tensed up even more. He lowered his eyes and saw two white, tender and smooth hands passing around his lower back. Although there was no physical contact, this scene was enough to make his heart flutter.
The man's Adam's apple rolled and he closed his eyes to clear his mind. Soon, the girl's cold voice brought him back to his senses.
"alright."
Chen Li put away the medicine box and saw that the man was still sitting there motionless. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why? Are you injured too badly and can't go back?"
"Ahem," Pei Yu put his hand to his lips and coughed lightly to cover up, "No, they're still waiting for me outside. I'll leave now."
…
"Tianqing, do you think your master's self-torture trick will work? I don't think Miss Shen is the kind of soft-hearted person."
Not far from the Shen family, two people squatted on a tree. They waited for a long time but Pei Yu didn't come out. They were a little bored.
Tianqing replied in a serious tone: "Master hasn't come out for so long, he must have succeeded."
"That shouldn't be the case," Mo Qing stroked his chin, "Could it be that Pei Yu gave the girl some gift?"
