[Red House] Li Changan

Under the lamp, Daiyu was sitting on the bedside, holding a miscellaneous book in her hand, with her head lowered, she was reading it with great interest, but the people who came in and out of the waiting room found that the book hadn't been touched for a long time.

Since Li Changan went out in the morning until now, her eyelids have been twitching, and her heart has been inexplicably flustered.

It wasn't until Li Changan came in covered in cold wind that Daiyu had a reaction and raised her head to look at him.

Hastily put down the book in his hand, stepped forward and took the cloak that Li Changan took off: "How is it?"

"Not very good."

What is not good?Daiyu turned around and hung up the cloak, turned around and looked at Li Changan who was pouring water, and asked with the urgency in her heart: "The news from the capital is spreading so fast, I'm afraid someone spread it on purpose."

Li Changan drank a cup of hot water, and his body became warmer.

Seeing Daiyu's anxious face, she stretched out her hand and pulled her into her lap to sit down: "What are you in a hurry for? There are hundreds of thousands of miles away, and it's impossible to go to the capital right away."

"Who said you're going to the capital?" Daiyu looked at Li Chang'an: "I'm just a little confused, I'm clearly a person with infinite scenery, and I carefully walked from a palace to a concubine in that place, why can't I—"

"In the palace, having children and not having children are two different things."

Especially for people from Yuanchun's background, being conferred the title of noble concubine, not only in the harem, but even in the former dynasty, Jia's family was in a precarious situation.

Hearing this, Daiyu sighed and leaned on Li Changan's shoulder.

"It's just that I'm a little bit emotional. In half a year, such a big change has happened. In this way, Jia's mansion—"

With no backer, the old days of gold and silver utensils and extravagance are probably gone forever. How long can Jia's mansion survive only relying on hereditary titles?

Li Changan stared at Daiyu and warned severely: "Don't be too sympathetic, just feel sorry for it. If you really sympathize with this family, I won't tell you a word about the Jia family in the future."

"you--"

Daiyu laughed, angry and funny, and buried her face in his shoulder after being funny, feeling very calm in her heart.

The only reason for caring about the Jia family's affairs is because there were not only people who were harsh on her, but also some people who were just like her when they lived there in those years.

The building is about to fall, and they all become grasshoppers on a rope. Who can get away with it?Generally speaking, they are all from Ningrong Second Mansion.

"I'm going to the army after the next year. If something happens to you, if you can't make up your mind, discuss it with your sister-in-law. If it doesn't work, go find your aunt. She will definitely protect you."

"kindness?"

A little confused about the meaning of Li Changan's words, Daiyu showed doubts in her eyes.

Even if Li Chang'an went to the army, he would not come back for a whole year, or he would not come back. Li Chong is the magistrate of a state, so could he be bullied and come home?

"As soon as I leave, there will only be you, mother, and sister-in-law at home. Dad is busy with official duties, and Uncle Qi may not be able to protect you."

"But it's very close to the yamen." Daiyu saw that Li Changan was still frowning, and said, "Don't worry, I'll remember what you said, and I will definitely take care of myself."

With Daiyu's words, Li Changan finally stretched his brows and laughed.

Staring at the person in front of her, Daiyu suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help being curious: "When I went to my mother these days, why didn't I see Xiang Xing?"

"Nurse Chang told her to go home because she had something to do in her hometown. My mother wanted to persuade her, but Nanny Chang insisted on sending her back. No, she gave her a lot of things, and she needed someone to send her back. It is estimated that this is coming soon."

sent away?Or go home?

Daiyu might still believe this when someone else said it, but when it came from Li Changan, Daiyu felt that there was something inside.

How could it be possible for a person who was so arrogant before to suddenly figure it out, to go back to his hometown after leaving the comfort of life and enjoying better treatment than ordinary maids?

Daiyu doesn't think that Xiangxing left on her own initiative.

Leaning at Li Chang'an, seeing that he looked like he had nothing to do with him, he couldn't help but smiled, and approached him and said, "You are rarely at home, why can't you hide anything from you? Could it be that you are everywhere in the mansion?" Have you put eyeliner on?"

"Then how would you know what you do at home every day?"

"Your name is—"

Picking up Daiyu and walking towards the bed, Li Changan stuffed him under the quilt, squatted on the side of the bed, and held Daiyu's hand: "I will do what I promised you."

"kindness?"

"Go home tomorrow."

"You bought something?"

"I bought a lot, and I have to get everything done before I leave, so that you don't have to worry about everything." Li Changan looked at Daiyu with a smile: "But there are still a lot of things that you need to buy yourself, according to your order." Like to come."

Daiyu nodded and lay down a little inside.

The cold in winter always makes people feel sleepy, so they got into the warm quilt, and before they could say a few words, the sleepiness took away most of Daiyu's thinking, and even her upper and lower eyelids began to fight disobediently.

Half-closed his eyes, looking sleepy.

"Master..."

Daiyu felt that Li Changan's hands were a bit cold, not as warm as usual, and when she leaned against Li Changan just now, she could vaguely smell some smoke.

Like, burned something a while ago.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just—"

Daiyu turned her back, and the sound of light breathing made Li Changan laugh.

Reaching out to help Daiyu pull the quilt, Li Changan shook his head and laughed—Daiyu has really worked hard during this time, and then, leave everything to him.

Walking lightly outside, Li Changan saw that Zijuan and Xueyan hadn't rested yet, so he called them to him.

"The lady of the Jia family has passed away."

"...What?" Zicuckoo was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously spoke.

Yuan Chun was much older than them, and had not seen her many times, but every time he saw her, he had to say that she was indeed worthy of the name of a lady.

Such a character actually had such a difficult life in that palace wall.

"In the future, if someone from Jia's family comes here, we have the right to treat him as a visitor from afar. We don't have to pay attention to his family's affairs." Li Chang'an said in a low voice, "He is the residence of the Marquis, and we are just a small family. How can the little prefect manage the affairs of the capital?"

Hearing that Zijuan and Xueyan looked at each other, they immediately understood Li Changan's words.

Although the Li family is in Yangzhou, the Li family also has relatives in Beijing. Although they are not nobles, they are also officials of the imperial court. They are still in charge of the third driver, and they hold real power in their hands. One or two sentences.

"Don't worry, uncle, we will take good care of the girl."

"It's late, let's all rest. I'll be busy tomorrow morning with the things in the yard."

"Yes."

Li Chang'an went to the next room, followed by Zhao Qing with a basin of hot water, and after dismissing the others, Zhao Qing was left alone.

Zhao Qing put down the things in his hands, and skillfully took out a wooden box from the side cabinet.

"Young master, is there any result?"

"The other party is too cunning, almost fell into their trap." Li Changan took off his shirt and sat down, took out a blood-stained account book from his arms: "I got it."

Zhao Qing looked at the wound on Li Changan's back, it wasn't deep, but it was long, and the sharp blade cut through it, and it was stained with blood.

In order not to worry Daiyu, I just dealt with it casually, and it would be no good.

"The wound may take three to five days to heal. Change the dressing in these few days..." Zhao Qing couldn't help worrying: "Young Madam may find out."

Li Changan's forehead was covered with fine sweat, it was impossible for such a big wound not to hurt.

He was injured all the way back from Jinshui, and the bumpy road aggravated the injury. If he hadn't practiced martial arts since he was a child, he might have fainted by the side of the road before he could make it home.

Hearing Zhao Qing mention Daiyu, his eyes darkened, and he took clean clothes and put them on: "Find an excuse to hide it, and let her know about this matter."

"Young Madam, she—"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Li Changan shook his head and put away the account book: "I will go to the army in the next year, and I will entrust you at home."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qing agreed, and looked at Li Changan in front of him, feeling worried.

He followed Li Changan since he was a child, almost watching how Li Changan got to where he is today. Li Changan is too stubborn, and he is not a person who admits defeat.

just now……

"It's late, pack up and go to bed."

"Young master's injury, it's better to tell the young lady earlier, the young lady...is a sensible person."

Li Changan who walked to the door was startled when he heard the words, then smiled and shook his head.

Daiyu's illness is on the mend, if we let her know about these things, I will be worried for a while, and it won't be too late to tell Daiyu after a while.

When Li Changan returned to the room, he had cleaned up his body, and the blood on his body had been suppressed by the sachet he was wearing, so he couldn't smell anything.

After getting under the quilt, Daiyu naturally leaned into Li Changan's arms as soon as he lay down.

Stretching out his hand to take Daiyu into his arms, Li Changan looked down at Daiyu, saw her brows stretched out, and felt extremely peaceful, so he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

"...Well, you're back?"

"kindness."

"Are you feeling a little uncomfortable?" Daiyu asked in a daze, her voice was very soft: "I seem tired from hearing your voice."

With a sticky tone, Li Changan rubbed his chin on her face.

"I'm just a little tired. I might be a little busy these days. It will be fine after a while."

"kindness?"

"Go to sleep."

Suddenly a dog barking in the alley sounded outside the window. Li Changan pulled up the quilt, still thinking about the ledger, and Daiyu in his arms had already fallen asleep.

Now that I have the ledger in hand, the matter will be settled easily.

As long as you follow the clues, you can always find out the people behind the disaster in Jinshui Town.

It's a pity that there is only one account book, and the evidence is not enough to bring down the opponent. He must calm down and wait until the day when he can hit with one blow.

This matter must be absolutely safe, otherwise, the entire Li family will be implicated, and Daiyu will also be involved.

Looking at Daiyu's sleeping face, Li Changan's eyes were full of pampering.

For the Li family and Daiyu, he can wait.

On the night of the twelfth lunar month, there was rarely a moonless night, and the sound of dogs barking could be heard in the alley. Hearing Daiyu's breathing, Li Changan also fell asleep without knowing it.
