across mountains and seas

"Don't think too much, don't talk too much, just rest well." Liu Xi said lightly, looking at Shen Jiangli, "Sister, go, accompany me to see Miss Ye again."

Shen Jiangli nodded.

Liu Xi walked to the door, seeming to think of something, "Third Uncle, Sister Jin has just arrived in Donglin..."

Jing Yuan heard what she meant, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, she is Xiaowu's sworn sister, and naturally she is also my younger sister, and I will definitely make proper arrangements."

Liu Xi nodded slightly, and then left the room with Shen Jiangli.

After Jing Tan watched Liu Xi leave, he always felt that Liu Xi treated him really alienated, and couldn't help feeling sad and closed his eyes.

Seeing that the second brother was about to sleep, Jing Lan said softly, "Third brother, let the second brother rest well."

Jing Yuan nodded, "En."

Everyone exited the room, Jing Lan turned her head and glanced at Ye Tianxin's room opposite.Liu Xi went to see her again, it must not be a whim.Jing Lan felt that she should also go and have a look, maybe she could help her.

"Third brother, you have worked hard these days."

"It's all a family, so if you say these words, you will be out of the way."

"I'm going to see Miss Ye too, my sister's side..."

"Third Brother took her for a stroll around the city."

Hearing Jing Yuan's words, Ling Dang said happily: "Okay!"

Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Sister Jin, please."

"Thank you, third brother!" Ling Dang answered simply.

Jing Lan watched the two go away, then turned around and closed the door of Jing Tan's room. At this moment, Jing Tan suddenly spoke.

"Little five..."

"Second brother?"

Jing Lan pushed the door open, poked a head in and asked.

Jing Tan waved at her, "I... can't sleep right now... Would you like to chat with me?"

Jing Lan nodded and returned to the bedside.

"Second brother, don't worry, with sister Shen here, you will be able to recover."

Jing Tan quietly looked at Jing Lan's eyebrows, sometimes he was very envious of Jing Lan, who was the youngest and most valued by his sister-in-law.

"What's wrong?" Jing Lan sat down beside the bed, feeling a little uncomfortable being watched by Jing Tan.

Jing Tan just smiled faintly, "It's been a long... long time that we... brothers haven't talked about what's on our minds."

Jing Lan said with emotion: "Since the big brother's accident, there have been troubles in Haicheng one after another. Well, speaking of it, I really miss the idle days in Haicheng."

"Who...don't miss it?" Jing Tan even wanted to go back to the time when he didn't know his life experience, at least at that time he would feel that Haicheng was his home, unlike now, the older he gets, the more he feels like a superfluous .

Jing Lan smiled and said, "Second Brother, on New Year's Eve this year, I want to bring Aunt Hong and Fourth Brother to Donglin for a reunion."

"You are the head of the family... and the governor... this matter...you can make up your own mind." Jing Tan thought about it, but decided to speak out, "Xiao Wu...sister-in-law loves you the most on weekdays...can you Can't... can you help the second brother find out?"

Jing Lan felt something was wrong, "What are you asking?"

"What's her plan after she...serves elder brother...?" After Jing Tan asked, seeing Jing Lan's suspicious expression, he added, "Sister-in-law... has nowhere to go...I want sister-in-law to stay."

Jing Lan found that Jing Tan's words seemed to have other meanings, "Second brother, what do you mean?"

"Xiao Wu... I... I'm not..."

"Alan, come out!"

Before Jing Tan finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Xi's cold rebuke, he fell silent in shock, how dare he say another word?

"Second brother, take good care of me. I'll go out to see what's wrong with my sister-in-law." Jing Lan gently tucked Jing Tan's quilt, got up and walked out.

Liu Xi said with a cold face: "Sister, you take Ah Lan down first, and show Ah Lan her injuries again."

Shen Jiangli nodded.

Jing Lan looked at Liu Xi's expression very badly, "What's the matter?" After finishing speaking, she looked at Ye Tianxin's room opposite, the door was tightly closed, "Where is Miss Ye?"

"You are obedient!" Liu Xi's viciousness remained undiminished.

Shen Jiangli agreed: "Listen, talk!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jing Lan didn't dare to say too much, so she just leaned on Liu Xi and followed Shen Jiangli to leave.

Liu Xi took a deep breath and stepped into Jing Tan's room.

Jing Tan looked at her anxiously, he thought to himself that he would tell Jing Lan about his life experience sooner or later, he didn't seem to say anything that he shouldn't say.

The coolness in Liu Xi's eyes was as stinging as frost, "Whatever Second Uncle wants to ask, come and ask me directly in the future, you don't have to ask Ah Lan alone."

Jing Tan muttered, "Okay..."

Liu Xi stared at him in disappointment, "In Ah Lan's heart, you, the third uncle, and the fourth uncle are all her most important family members. What should be said and what should not be said, please let me know." Second Uncle weigh it carefully."

"Sister-in-law..."

"I hope you can remember what you called me today."

After Liu Xi finished speaking in a cool voice, she left the room and closed the door tightly.She sighed deeply, faintly feeling that Jing Tan would be an unknown number in the future.

This uneasiness lingered quietly in my heart, and occasionally I felt palpitations, and I felt uneasy for a long time.

Jing Tan was extremely wronged, and looked at the closed door with red eyes.

The sister-in-law is tolerant to Xiao Wu in every way, but she is always harsh to him in every way.

Is it because he is useless?Or is it because he is not Jing's child?

Thinking of this, Jing Tan clenched his fists tightly.He must get better soon and let his sister-in-law see that he is not useless.Even, he had a little luck, if his biological parents were great people, he could transform himself into a more glorious person than the second son of the Dongjing family.

Thinking of the mysterious person who passed the letter to him that night, Jing Tan thought, if that person comes again next time, he will never listen to Aunt Hong or sister-in-law's persuasion, and he will meet this person in person to find out his life experience !

Shen Jiangli took Jing Lan to Jing Lan's residence, she pulled Jing Lan to sit down on the couch, and said seriously: "Undress, clothes." After speaking, she got up and closed the door.

"Sister Shen, do you really want to see the wound?" Jing Lan couldn't help asking.

Shen Jiangli turned his head and wrinkled his nose, "Must, must!"

Jing Lan smiled wryly and said, "Sister Shen, my wounds have scabbed over, and I'm fine now." The topic changed, "What's wrong with Miss Ye?"

"Nothing." Shen Jiangli walked back, sat beside Jing Lan, took Jing Lan's hand and began to feel the pulse.

"Then why is she suddenly so angry?" Jing Lan didn't understand.

Shen Jiangli froze slightly, raised his hand and flicked Jing Lan's forehead, "Stupid!"

Jing Lan was in pain from being played, and she covered her forehead, "Where are you staying?"

"Second, brother." Shen Jiangli said anxiously, "peeping." Shen Jiangli felt disgusted when he thought of this, "Sister, sister!"

Jing Lan was shocked, "What did you say?"

Shen Jiangli said sadly: "What, it's hard!"

Indeed, nothing is more difficult than Liuxi.

Jing Lan frowned and asked, "When did this happen?"

"Sea, city." Shen Jiangli replied truthfully.

Jing Lan gasped.If the second brother likes Xi'er, what should the second brother do when she wants to marry Xi'er in the future?The second brother has always been the child that Aunt Hong loves the most. When the second brother is sad, Aunt Hong will also be sad. The third brother and the fourth brother may not agree to this marriage either.

Although Liu Xi is a widowed sister-in-law, she has already received a letter to release her wife, and when he remarries the Jing family, there will still be a lot of gossip. I'm afraid it's as deep as a mountain and as deep as the sea.

Jing Lan wanted to give her a home, a warm and comfortable home.

But if what is given to her is such a purgatory, where is pity, where is liking?

Relying on her status as "Patriarch", Jing Lan can at most bear the name of "Merry", and the world will only assign all the bad names to Liu Xi.

Thinking of this, Jing Lan felt distressed.

How can a person as intelligent as Liu Xi fail to imagine what he will endure in the future?

If it weren't for the love that is as deep as the sea, how could Liu Xi promise her "I will live up to this life" without hesitation?

Jing Lan always said that she is no longer a child, but in this matter she is no different from a child.She was addicted to Liu Xi's tenderness like water, and naively thought that after she had been mourning for three years, she would be able to marry her back home logically, at worst, she would face the gossip with her.

You can ignore the rumors and gossips outside, but what kind of knife can avoid the harm of the family?These knives would only fall on Liu Xi, and with Liu Xi's temperament, he would definitely carry them silently without saying a word.

"Little, five?" Shen Jiangli had been staring at Jing Lan in a daze for a long time, and couldn't help shaking her body.

Jing Lan came back to her senses, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sister Shen, you taught me the right lesson, I am indeed... an idiot."

Shen Jiangli breathed a sigh of relief, patted the back of Jing Lan's hand, and said with a smile, "No, it's late."

"Squeak."

The door of the room was pushed open by Liu Xi, and Jing Lan stared at it, her eyes filled with distress and self-blame.

"How is Ah Lan's wound recovering?" Liu Xi's first words came in, and she was still concerned about her.

Jing Lan only felt a slight soreness in her nasal cavity, "You have injuries yourself, so you should let Sister Shen show you."

"Tsk tsk, suddenly you know you care about people?" Liu Xi joked, approached the couch, and said with a smile, "Sister, what prescription did you give her to open up?"

Shen Jiangli pulled Liu Xi to sit down, and said with a smile, "No, yes."

"No?" Liu Xi met Jing Lan's eyes with a smile, and always felt that the girl's eyes were much more complicated than before.

She thought, Jing Lan must want to ask her something?For example, why did you send her away suddenly, and what did you talk to Jing Tan about alone?On the way here, Liu Xi had already made up her mind that if Jing Lan asked, she would prevaricate it by saying "keep secret".

However, Jing Lan never mentioned those things, but said seriously: "Don't move." After speaking, Jing Lan got up and moved a stool over, and gently hugged her injured leg on the stool, "Sister Shen, She is the most cunning, and she wants to get away with it, let her have a look at it now, and don't fall into any root cause."

Shen Jiangli's eyes brightened, he nodded sharply and said, "Okay!"

Liu Xi suppressed a smile, it seems that these two people have formed an alliance quietly, "Isn't it enough for me to be obedient?"

"You...be good." Jing Lan stared at her with a sincere voice.

Shen Jiangli followed Jing Lan's words and said, "En, um!"

Liu Xi looked at Shen Jiangli suspiciously, then at Jing Lan, "There is something wrong with you two."

"Treat you badly, you are angry, treat you better, and you are suspicious." Jing Lan deliberately said bitterly, "It's really difficult to serve you."

"What's the matter? You don't want to serve so soon?" Liu Xi also deliberately asked provocatively.

Shen Jiangli blinked, "No, noisy."

"Yes, I won't serve you anymore!" Jing Lan took Liu Xi's hand and held it tightly, "I should hold you tightly so that you can't show off."

Liu Xi suppressed her smile, "I want to hold you tighter too, you are also a person who likes to show off." After finishing speaking, the two met each other and smiled, their hearts and eyes were full of each other's smiling faces.

The two suddenly felt the backs of their hands warm up. It turned out that Shen Jiangli quietly stretched out his hand to cover the backs of their hands.

"Hold tight." Shen Jiangli smiled innocently.

"Yes, hold on to Sister Shen too." The dimples on Jing Lan's face twirled, her gentle smile was very warm.

"Really?" Shen Jiangli looked at Jing Lan flattered.

Liu Xi nodded, "Really." As she spoke, she covered the back of Shen Jiangli's hand with her other hand, and the warmth of her palm penetrated into her skin.

Shen Jiangli was very happy, "Follow, follow!"

Yes, she will follow her sister wherever she goes in the future, and she must rely on her for the rest of her life!
