The next day, Zuo Ji and Li Xi returned to Yicheng in a carriage.

The two of them didn't speak all the way, and they seemed to be living in peace, but in fact, there was a shadow over their hearts.

Back at Qinnanxuan, Zuo Ji became nervous when he heard that Mrs. Li was there.

He didn't want to get off the car, so he said to Li Xi, "Go back first, I'll go to Yuanyuan."

Li Xi was not very happy when he heard where he was going.

But thinking about it, I thought it was good, so I nodded and said, "Then you come back early."

Zuo Ji nodded, and ordered the groom to set off.

When Li Xi entered Qinnanxuan, he specially went to the living room first to salute Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li was very happy to see him come back safely, and asked him, "How is your second brother?"

"He's fine. He went hunting last fall and got a fur. This time I specially asked me to bring it back to honor your old man."

After finishing speaking, the servant brought it up. Mrs. Li looked at the shiny black fur, couldn't put it down, and nodded happily: "Okay, okay."

Mrs. Li glanced at Li Xi's side and said, "I heard that someone came back with you?"

When Li Xi heard this, he realized that the servant who sent back yesterday to report in advance must have told Mrs. Li in every detail.

No wonder Mrs. Li would come to the house in person.

It's okay to be honest.

Anyway, paper can't hold fire, Mrs. Li will know after all.

"Yes." Li Xi responded.

He didn't hide it from her, and said: "Zuo Ji, the son of Prime Minister Zuo, came back with me. However, he didn't enter the mansion, but went to Yuanyuan to visit an old friend."

Mrs. Li's face was revealed.

But she didn't get angry, but said to Li Xi: "Didn't he go back? Why did you come back with you this time?"

"He had a quarrel with his family and wanted to leave for a while to relax, so I invited him to come and live here for a while."

"That's all?"

"That's all."

Now that Li Xi has said so, Mrs. Li doesn't say anything anymore.

She still remembers the last time Zuo Ji offended Lu Lao's hatred.

But with Zuo Ji's background, she couldn't care less.

"I don't like him. You'd better get rid of him as soon as possible."

Li Xi smiled lightly and said: "It's normal for him to stay here for a month and a half when he comes back here from a long distance. Besides, he knows me not only in this city, but how long he stays depends on his own plan."

It really is.

But last time Zuo Ji kissed Li Xi in front of everyone.

For a person who can do such deviant things, Mrs. Li is worried that Li Xi will not be led astray by him.

"How about you let him live with me?"

"He is my guest." Li Xi refused: "Doing this is no different from driving him away. If he is unhappy, we will offend him. Offending him is tantamount to offending Zuo Shicheng. "

Mrs. Li stopped talking.

Li Xi knew that Mrs. Li regarded Zuo Ji as a hot potato.

For a while, acceptance is definitely unacceptable.

He was thinking, let's take it slow.

Take your time, there is always a way.

On one side Li Xi was secretly worried, but on the other side, Zuo Ji was depressed and suddenly felt that coming back with Li Xi was not the right decision.

He had completely forgotten about Mrs. Li.

I only thought of it when I came back to the door and heard it.

At that moment, it seemed as if he had foreseen the future in which he would be kicked out.

He didn't dare to go in, so he hurriedly came to Yuanyuan.

Yuan Yuan has not opened for business yet.

As soon as he entered, he saw Lulian tiptoing around with a broom looking around.

"Yo~" He paused, "What are you doing?"

Lu Lian raised her head when she heard the sound, and was just about to be happy, but when she thought about it, she quickly raised her index finger and said to him, "Shhh!"

He raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

"Rat."

The green curtain lowered the voice.

Zuo Ji frowned: "Rat?"

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Lian suddenly rushed towards it. At the end, she only heard "Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi", when Lu Lian turned around, a huge mouse was twisted by her tail and tried to break free. Zuo Ji's face was shocked. Pale.

He sucked in a breath of cold air, seeing the green curtain coming up to claim credit, and getting closer and closer, he couldn't help screaming "ahhh", turned around, and bumped into Zhuo Zui.

He immediately pushed Zuo Zui out, Ju Zui was also shocked when he saw the mouse, at the end, he took a deep breath, turned around, and shot Zuo Ji a burst of resentment in the head.

Zuo Ji squatted down in pain and rubbed.

Zhuozui crossed his hands on his waist: "You are not afraid of me, are you? Seeing this and pushing me out, are you looking for death?"

"What? You are more fierce."

Zuo Ji stood up rubbing his head that was hurt by the beating, but when he thought about it, he seemed to have said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed his flattering face, and said to the smoldering drunk: "It should be said that it was you Bold, I'm cowardly."

Forget it.

Zhuozui glared at him, told Lulian to quickly turn the mouse away, sat down on the side, and said, "I heard you went home? Why did you come back to Yicheng again?"

"I heard? Who did you listen to?"

Zuo Ji was suspicious, and wanted to talk to him instead.

"You don't care who I listen to, I open the door for business, customers complain, daydream, who doesn't have it, is there any shit that I can't hear?"

That is.

Zuo Ji smiled, his two little dimples were cute, he sat aside and got drunk with each other: "Is my room still there?"

Drunk and heard Lai raised his eyebrows: "What? Do you want to come back and resume your old job?"

"Isn't it... I had a quarrel with my family, and I ran away from home again." He coaxed him to get drunk, and shook his arm: "Excuse me, can you?"

"It's easy to say." After being drunk for a while, Zuo Ji agreed, and Zuo Ji was in a happy mood.

But Zhuozui's next sentence was: "But it's not enough to live in vain, you have to support me."

what?

Zuo Ji's face suddenly rounded.

"Reality!"

"Hey." Hearing this, he was unhappy.

"What's the matter, asking you to help open a market and make tea is hard for you, isn't it?"

So this is ah.

Zuo Ji regained his flattering face in another second, and with a smile, stretched out his hand to help him rub his shoulders, pinch his arms, professional dog legs, courteous and flattering: "It's easy to say, easy to say."

This end, the place to stay is done.

Over there, night gradually fell.

When the lights came on, one after another people came out to light the lights on the streets of the big night market.

There are not many old men who come to visit.

The girls were all dressed up beautifully, and they were waving champagne to tease the passing men.

On the other hand, this men's entertainment house has a different style, much lower-key than others.

The water for tea is ready in the kitchen.

The wine to be put into the jug is also packed in a batch.

Zuo Ji saw the trembling old man in charge of holding the lamp in front of the door, and hurried over to help.

No, just as the lantern was lit and hung up, he heard the sound of falling.

Curiously looking around, he saw a figure lying not far away, resembling a woman, he frowned and walked over, and saw the woman who fell on the ground being dragged into the back alley by someone, he was startled, and hurried Running over, he didn't want to, a sack fell from the sky, he was startled, before he had time to call out, he was hit with a sap, suddenly softened, and fell down.
