When Jingru came over, Zhilan's expression was not very good.Jingru asked: "Are you still upset about things in the theater? Are you looking so bad?"

Facing Jingru, Zhilan's mind surged because she didn't reject Li Shaowen. She was ashamed of Jingru and wanted to help them. She made up her mind and said, "Sister, I met Li Shaowen just now. He said that if you want to wait for him, He promised to send us back after the show."

"Really?" Jingru's eyes sparkled, "My good sister, you still miss my sister."

Zhilan looked at Jingru's expectant face and smiled slightly, thinking: Sister Ru, you must seize the opportunity.

When the show was over, Li Shaowen didn't know what the family members said, but he and Jingru were actually allowed to go with Li Shaowen.

Wan Xinqiao asked Li Shaowen a few words and left first.

Seeing that Zhilan pulled Jingru up, Li Shaowen put on a calm expression, walked up to them and said, "The car is outside, let's go, ladies." The three of them stepped out of the gate of Liyuan Pavilion together.

As soon as they left the gate, they saw Mr. Qi's car returning. The three of them saluted Mr. Qi, but the other party didn't care, and rushed into the garden.

Standing in front of the car, Zhilan planned to create opportunities for Jingru and Shaowen, and opened the front door first, intending to sit in.Unexpectedly, it was blocked by a pair of big hands.Zhilan looked up and saw that it was the driver, Old Chen.

"Miss Zhou, I'm sorry...I'm sorry. You see, there are many things in front of this place, and no one can sit on it." Old Chen looked distressed, but there were indeed boxes stacked on the seat.Zhilan couldn't make things difficult for him, so she had to follow Li Shaowen's arrangement.But she was unwilling, so she stepped into the car first, trying to make room for Jingru.

"You did it on purpose?" The moment Zhilan bent down to get into the car, Li Shaowen, who was pulling the car door for her, inadvertently uttered these words in her ear.

Zhilan smiled politely, and Li Shaowen could see that there was a fox-like pride hidden in that smile.

Li Shaowen knew it well, said a few words to Jingru, and then got into the car by himself.In this way, Shaowen sat next to Zhilan, as quietly as if he was on the outermost side.Li Shaowen looked back at Zhilan, as if responding to her.

Zhilan hated being so close to Li Shaowen. She wanted to open the car door, but she couldn't open it anyway. She couldn't help but cast a blank look at Li Shaowen, and was afraid that Jingru would see her. Fortunately, Jingru was busy closing the door on the right and didn't care.

The car starts.There was silence in the car for a while, and Li Shaowen broke the silence: "Jingru, you haven't officially introduced your sister to me yet." In a casual tone.

Jing Ruyi thought that it was really her fault, so she hurriedly introduced him: "This Zhou Zhilan, my cousin."

"Hello sister Zhilan, first time meeting." Li Shaowen spoke glibly, and reached out his hand to shake Zhilan's hand.

Zhilan glared at him, asking the question knowingly!Hearing the strange tone of his tone, knowing that he was trying to tease me, I still replied calmly: "Hello."

But she ignored his outstretched hand.Li Shaowen retracted his hand lightly.Just chatting casually like this, the car has already driven a certain distance.

I just heard Li Shaowen instruct the driver: "Drive to my uncle's house first, and send Miss Jingru back."

"Yes." The driver replied.

Jingru was in this position and wanted to chat with Shaowen, but Yu Zhilan couldn't open her mouth because of her many thoughts.She thought silently that Cousin Shaowen had already returned to Jiangcheng anyway, and would find opportunities to go to his aunt's house to be alone with him in the future, so when Shaowen mentioned sending her back first, she did not object.

The three of them were silent all the way, Li Shaowen fell asleep, his squinted eyes met Zhilan's who was looking at Jingru, Zhilan retracted it in embarrassment.She stared at the scenery passing by outside the window, but Jingru felt that there were three thoughts in the narrow space inside the car.Zhilan is worrying, and I am worrying, leaving brother Shaowen uncertain and unable to figure it out.The three strands of thoughts were entangled, converging into condensed air in this small space, and the atmosphere couldn't help but become dignified.

At this moment, the driver, Old Chen, broke the silence with a voice: "Miss Jingru, your house is here."

When Jingru opened the car door, she left her unwillingness in the car, and walked into the house step by step.

"I said last time that we will meet again. As expected." When Li Shaowen said this, Zhilan still silently looked at Jingru's back as she entered the door, without any response.

"What are you looking at?" Shao Wen asked with great interest, and he followed Zhi Lan to look out the window.

"Don't you really know what elder sister Ru thinks?" Zhilan felt a little bit apologetic for Jingru.

"I know." After hearing Zhilan's question, Shaowen moved his body away and leaned on the back of the chair easily.

"Got it, why don't you take the initiative?"

"Lan'er, as a lady, don't you know what to ask and what not to ask? I remember a saying that curiosity killed the cat, so if you shouldn't be curious, don't ask too much! Okay, waste so much time, You and I should talk about the topic."

"The topic? The topic is that we haven't gotten to know you enough to call me by my nickname, right?"

"What does it matter. As I said, you will be mine sooner or later, so you might as well get used to it in advance." Li Shaowen's leisurely words seemed to be talking about something calm and breezy.

"Hey! Don't think I'm easy to deceive, you can just make fun of me and belittle me. I'm not like my sister, I don't like you." Zhilan's face flushed, but she still had a clear mind and expressed herself clearly the meaning of.

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it now, there is nothing in Jiangcheng that I can't get from Li Shaowen." Li Shaowen expressed the connotation of arrogance in his words in a very light tone, which is really a huge contrast, just like his people.

"Do you think emotional matters are the same as your business? You are wrong, you don't understand me at all." Zhilan said contemptuously, "Besides, you don't know how to respect me at all. That day in Mingji, I don't know how to drink, you Don't force me to drink it up."

"Actually, I was just teasing you about what happened that day, and you can't stand a joke." Li Shaowen looked at her slyly, "Besides, I'm never afraid of difficulties, and solving difficult problems is full of fun. Over time, I believe we will deepen the I understand, you can point out what I did badly, can't you?"

"But it's impossible for me to like you. I don't have any interest in knowing you. Why do you waste your time on me?" Zhi Lan thought about it, but it's better to be open and honest. There are only two kinds of feelings, either yes or no.With the precedent of Jingru, it is impossible for her to take the path of "yes", she can only choose another path.

Li Shaowen stared at her for a while, then suddenly grabbed her hand, and said to her, "Lan'er, you don't know how cute you are. I have to work hard to control myself not to hold you in my arms."

Zhilan stared at him with wide eyes.In her opinion, Li Shaowen's half-truths and half-false words are unpredictable.When she first met, she seemed to be very intimate, but she was often at a disadvantage in verbal confrontations, and her humble arrogance was hidden in her bones. This person was not something she could afford to provoke.

"What a pair of jade hands, you are fascinating all over." Li Shaowen continued.While talking softly, he brushed the broken hair on her sideburns for her.I can't wait to get closer so that he can kiss her cheek.

Hearing this sentence, Zhilan suddenly felt courage all over her body, she quickly withdrew her hand and pushed him away forcefully.

Not only that, but she also moved her body towards the car window, intentionally keeping a distance from Li Shaowen, and said sternly: "You've already taken the liberty, do you know? You and I have only known each other for how long, why are you pretending to make fun of me?"

Li Shaowen looked at her with folded arms: "It's interesting. You know that many women will sink into my compliments and confessions. I didn't expect that you, who are shy, can still maintain calm and courage, which makes me more interested in you. "

"I won't be tempted by you, you are just like my elder brother, but you use some tricks to play with girls, I look down on you!"

"You will know in the future that I treat you differently from your elder brother. However, if you are willing to compare yourself with those women, I'm not worth it for you." Li Shaowen laughed.

"You!" Zhi Lan became angry for a while, and gave him a hard look.Since she is always defeated in words, she might as well keep silent.She made up her mind not to say a word, so Li Shaowen didn't say much.

Car to Zhou mansion.Shaowen opened the car door like a gentleman, helped Zhilan out, and said with a smile: "Go back! But I watched a good show today, I don't know how your aunt will react."

"What do you mean? What did you see today?"

"Nothing, I just remind you to be careful. I don't want you to make mistakes! How about I accompany you in?" Shaowen thought for a while, and suddenly said with a serious face.

"No." Zhilan rebuffed straight away, "You and I should stop here."

"Well, be careful yourself." Although Li Shaowen was reluctant, but seeing her firm eyes, he no longer forced himself.

"I know, thank you for sending me back today." Zhilan thanked politely, turned and walked towards the door.

Li Shaowen didn't get into the car immediately, and didn't order the driver to drive until he watched her enter the gate.

There seemed to be a pleasant aftertaste of incense powder in the car, so the driver drove Li Shaowen back to Heshang.He thought of seeing Zhou's brothers and sisters arguing from a distance in the theater, and found it very interesting.From the first meeting in Mingji to the dispute in the theater, he has been paying attention to Zhilan, and he directly refuted her elder brother's face in public, so frank!Today's her image and personality made him a little dazed, and the half-truth and half-false love words that he had originally uttered suddenly became [-]% sincere.But she couldn't hear it, or was she trying to escape?Thinking of it, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhilan walked home slowly without realizing it, and the eldest wife was already sitting on the sofa in the hall waiting for her.

She just called mother when she entered the door.The eldest lady walked up to her with an angry face, raised her hand and slapped her!

"Kneel down! Do you still have my mother in your eyes, and your elder brother?" The eldest wife yelled angrily, "In Liyuan Pavilion, you exposed your elder brother's old stories for an outsider. Make a good daughter!"

It turned out to be about the thing in the theatre.She suddenly realized that what Li Shaowen was talking about was her quarreling with Yuehua, no wonder he first said to be careful, and then said he wanted to come in with him.It turned out that he had seen everything that happened at that time.

Seeing that she didn't care at all, the eldest wife became more and more annoyed. Ri Zhilan broke Yuehua's scandal in front of the master that day, and she already hated her.Of Bai Xin's two children, Mu Qing is brave and resourceful, and his own son can't compete.Zhilan, a girl who will marry in the future, actually rides on Yuehua's head and acts as a domineering power, which is tolerable or unbearable.

In a rage, she raised her hand and slapped her several times.Zhou Zhilan was in pain, and stared at her with burning eyes while covering his cheeks.

Everyone was startled.Butler Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said, "Madam, calm down. If there is something wrong with Miss, you can just reprimand me. If you break it, how can you explain to the master? Madam, please be merciful!"

Butler Zhou just didn't want to persuade him, and once he persuaded the eldest wife, he became even more angry: "She will bring out the master to suppress me! If I don't beat her to death today, I will not be able to get rid of the anger in my chest!" She went up to beat her like crazy.

Zhilan quickly curled up to protect her head, and endured the rain of fists and slaps on her back. This is a trick she learned since she was a child, and she has been so proficient that it has become an unforgettable habit.

Yan Cui was so frightened at a young age that her face turned ashen. At a critical moment, Rong Ma rushed out and desperately used her aging body to protect Zhi Lan.I don't know where Rong's mother got such great strength, Zhilan only felt pain and discomfort as if separated by a wall, something called warmth grew and spread in her body and mind!Although this warmth was brought by a desperate old servant, she saw Rong Ma silently clenching her teeth and enduring the pain that should belong to her through her fingers, her eyes were still moist, and the tears couldn't help herself. Falling in clusters in a controlled manner.

The girls and servants onlookers were chattering, pulling and persuading, and those watching the excitement booing, and the scene got out of control for a while.Yuehua shouted anxiously: "Mom Gui, hurry up! Stop the wife!" He and Mama Gui stepped forward together.

He hugged the eldest wife and said: "Mother, think twice! Hitting this girl to vent your anger is a small matter. Mother, if you really hurt her, will father blame you? Isn't the situation of so many years in vain? ?”

After listening to Yue Hua's persuasion, the eldest lady returned her reason to her, stopped her hands and gasped for breath: "Forget it, for Hua'er's sake, I will forgive you this time. I can't spare you!"

Zhilan's face had lots of blood spots, all red and swollen.Rong's mother was also slightly injured, and she was still holding her in her arms, with tears streaming down her face.

Yuehua asked the housekeeper to quickly invite the doctor over.

Gui Ma ordered the maids to help the eldest wife, who was still angry, into the house.
