Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 23

The mountain was quiet. Although Wen Zhaoling's words were soft, they reached Wu Jili's ears very clearly. The words were like a declaration, which made him frown unconsciously, pursed his lips and did not answer.

At the top, after putting Wen Zhaoling down, Wu Jili glanced at the slope in front of him with a serious expression, "This slope seems to have been added out of thin air. I saw outsiders come up from the mountain to cut firewood a few days ago, and this slope was added after that." , must have been left behind by them."

Wen Zhaoling nodded, "I guess someone did it on purpose, and so did the rocks below."

Wu Jili turned to look at him with complicated eyes, "But it has something to do with the fight between your Wen family? If so, wouldn't Yuzhi be very dangerous?"

"Our Wen family? It's too outlandish for you to say that." Wen Zhaoling turned around and glanced at Yuzhi who had already walked over, and said calmly, "I will take good care of her, don't worry."

Wu Jili was about to say something, but suddenly heard Mrs. Wen's voice behind him, turned his head to take a look, and walked away.Wen Zhaoling looked at his back, he was upright and arrogant, but he didn't say anything to persuade him to stay.

Mrs. Wen was supported by Daimei, followed by Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Li, and at the end was Fuqin.She walked over eagerly, and when she saw Wen Zhaoling and Yuzhi standing here in good order, except for the messy appearance, everything else was fine, she was relieved, but then she felt surprised.The expressions of the others were similar to Mrs. Wen's, only Dai Mei was surprised and nervous.

Mrs. Wen glanced at Wen Zhaoling, then shifted her gaze to Yuzhi, "Yuzhi, how did you get up? Dai Mei said that you were pushed down the hillside by Arong. Could it be that Boyu went down and rescued you?"

Yuzhi looked at Mrs. Wen in surprise, "Ah Rong pushed me? No, it was Daimei who pushed me."

Everyone was stunned, Jin rushed out from behind and slapped Dai Mei's face, "You foxy girl dares to slander me, but fortunately my sister-in-law exposed your lie without accident, otherwise I would have taken the blame for nothing go?"

Daimei covered her face and looked at Jin in horror, then turned her head to look at Yuzhi, and finally met Wen Zhaoling's cold eyes, and fell to the ground in shock, unable to speak a word.

Wen Zhaoling sighed, "Two birds with one stone, apart from Arong for borrowing Yuzhi, do you think that you will be able to sit in the position of the second wife's young mistress? But your thoughts are considered meticulous, just a while ago Arong and Yuzhi had a little quarrel Well, it would make sense to say that Arong pushed Yuzhi out of dissatisfaction."

Dai Mei began to cry, and hurriedly crawled up to Wen Zhaoling on her knees, begging for mercy by the hem of his clothes: "Young Master, please calm down, Dai Mei was also infatuated for a while, so I don't dare to do it anymore..."

Afraid that she would touch Wen Zhaoling's wound, Yuzhi hurriedly said to Mrs. Wen, "Mom, no matter what, it's important to treat Boyu first, as his leg is still bleeding."

Mrs. Wen panicked when she heard this, and her usual indifferent expression had long since disappeared. "Where is Boyu's injury? Let me see." She walked up to him quickly as she spoke.

Wen Zhaoling comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, go to the abbot and ask for some medicinal herbs, and you will be fine."

Mrs. Wen nodded again and again, "Yes, let's find the abbot quickly." After speaking, she beckoned Fuqin to help him.

Yuzhi and Fuqin supported Wen Zhaoling to the backyard of Mingyue Nunnery, where the abbot found herbs to stop the bleeding, pounded them and applied them to him, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Wen asked Yuzhi to take some medicine as well, and then rested in the wing room with Wen Zhaoling, while she took a few people to the next room.Yuzhi knew that she was going to deal with Daimei.

Wen Zhaoling lay on the couch and looked at her, "Aren't you going to take a look?"

Yuzhi straightened his messy clothes, "I won't go, I'll stay and take care of you."

Wen Zhaoling smiled slightly, "Everyone in the world is like this, one thing before another, another thing behind another, but some people have ulterior motives, and some people have no choice." He shook Yuzhi's hand, with gentle eyes, "Yuzhi, What are you for?"

Yuzhi froze for a moment, as if she didn't understand what she said, "What do I mean for what?"

Wen Zhaoling lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes moved slightly, "In a house like Wen's, everyone is used to pretending, so no one can look at the surface. You have been pretending to be docile, and it is really hard for you. Actually I understand even if you don't say it, you want to live in the Wen family well, don't cause trouble, don't create chaos, keep yourself safe, and live in peace, right?"

Yuzhi was a little puzzled, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

Wen Zhaoling raised his head suddenly, his eyes sparkling like a pool of spring water, "Yuzhi, if one day I lose my status as the young master of the Wen family, will you still follow me?"

Yu Zhi laughed, "How could there be such a day? If it really happened, I have already married you, so naturally I will be with you forever."

Wen Zhaoling clenched her hand, lowered his eyes and chuckled, his expression gradually returned to calm.With her words, it is finally a lot of peace of mind.

There was a sound outside the door, Yuzhi turned her head to look, Wu Jili was standing by the door with a porcelain bowl in his hand, his face turned pale.

"Ji Li, why are you here? Come in quickly."

Wu Jili smiled at her, and the unnaturalness in his expression disappeared a lot. He walked in with the bowl in his hand, and when he met Wen Zhaoling's gaze, he suddenly felt a block in his heart.

He heard the conversation between the two just now, although he knew that the two in front of him were husband and wife, but he still felt very uncomfortable when he heard Yuzhi make such a promise to him.That feeling was like being choked by someone's throat, and it was futile to try to get rid of that powerless suffocation.

When they arrived in front of the two, Yu Zhi saw the bowl in his hand and was a little strange, "Ji Li, what are you serving?"

Wu Jili breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down, "This is the herbal medicine I kept at home last time. I just smashed some and brought it here. This medicine is very good, and it won't leave scars when used on scars."

Yuzhi was overjoyed, and quickly took it, "That's really great, I'll keep it, and I'll use this when I change Boyu's dressing later."

Wen Zhaoling's dark eyes swept over Wu Jili's face lightly, with a smile in his eyes, "Yuzhi, you are wrong, this is the medicine Ji Li gave you, look at the scratch on your face, does it still hurt?"

Yuzhi froze for a moment, then turned to look at Wu Jili, "Is this for me?"

Wu Jili looked away, clutching a corner of the blue shirt with his hands, and nodded after a while.

Yuzhi suddenly felt a little embarrassed, smiled unnaturally, and was thinking about what to say, when a piercing cry came from the next room, which surprised her, and almost threw the bowl out of her hand, but luckily Wu Jili stretched out his hand to support her wrist, although it was through the clothes, he withdrew his hand extremely quickly as if his hand was scalded.

Wen Zhaoling pretended not to see it, but felt a little depressed.He suddenly felt that it was not a good thing for his mother to arrange Wu's mother and son to live in the back mountain of Mingyue Nunnery for so many years.

The crying from the next door continued, Wu Jili glanced at Yuzhi who was getting restless, and smiled lightly, "You should go and have a look, your curious nature cannot be changed in the first place."

Yuzhi was caught by what he said in the center, and looked at Wen Zhaoling in embarrassment.Wen Zhaoling shook her hand, "Go, mother will not show mercy to her when she sees you here."

Yuzhi was stunned, "You hope mother will not show mercy?"

Wen Zhaoling still smiled gently, but said something coldly, "Of course I don't want my mother to be merciful, she almost killed you."

Yuzhi realized that he was doing this for her own sake, and was a little moved. She gave him a few instructions, and said something to Wu Jili again, got up, straightened her clothes casually, and went out to the next door.

Wu Jili was also about to leave, but Wen Zhaoling stopped him: "Ji Li, can I call you that?"

Wu Jili paused, and gave him a complicated look, but he didn't say anything to change it.

"I remember it was probably this season when we first met, right?" Wen Zhaoling leaned on the couch, looking at a tree of gardenias outside the window.

"I can't remember what happened at that time."

"Why can't I remember? I almost got lost when I took a detour from the back mountain to Mingyue Nunnery. Fortunately, you showed me the way." Wen Zhaoling curled his lips and chuckled, "Ji Li, I remember that time You even called me big brother."

Wu Jili frowned, "If you're older than me, you'll be your brother, that's nothing."

Wen Zhaoling couldn't help laughing, "I didn't say it was nothing."

Wu Jili frowned even tighter.

"Do you know what I went up the mountain for?"

Wen Zhaoling changed the subject, and Wu Jili finally relaxed a little, "How did I know that you just said you were going to Mingyue Nunnery."

"Yes, I'm here to see Yuzhi."

Wu Jili glanced at him in surprise, "You knew her a long time ago?"

Wen Zhaoling put one hand on the side of the couch and nodded unconsciously, "It's much earlier than you think. When she was just born, I went to her house with my grandfather to see her. At that time, my grandfather told me that this It's your future wife." At this point, he laughed, "I didn't even know what a wife was at the time, but my grandfather told me that this is the person I am responsible for, and I will be responsible for the rest of my life."

Wu Jili listened quietly, without speaking, but his hands tightened his clothes, and his joints turned white.

"I almost always watched her in the dark. At first I was not in good health and had no chance to go out. Then I occasionally learned something about her from my grandparents. Later, my grandfather was gone, and my grandmother seldom mentioned her. Only I still remember the responsibilities of that lifetime." Speaking of which, he couldn't help but smile again.

"Later, I followed my mother to Mingyue Nunnery to ask for medicine, and I saw her again. After listening to my mother, I realized that she was the baby who was in the swaddle back then, and she turned out to be so big." He sighed, "It must be It was that time when I came to Mingyue Nunnery that my mother thought of letting you mother and son come and settle here."

Wu Jili was silent for a while, and finally said, "Why are you telling me these things?"

Wen Zhaoling glanced at him, smiled and shook his head, "I don't know, maybe I was shocked by this incident today, and then I remembered all the things before, and I just want to talk to someone." He turned his head and stared at him. Looking out of the window, his eyes were blurred, "Uncle was the only one who could listen to what I said before, but now he is gone."

Wu Jili heard the change in his tone, and fell silent again.

After a long time, Wu Jili looked out of the window following his gaze, and suddenly said, "I don't know if there is any shortage of Mr. Xixi in the house, I would like to try."

Wen Zhaoling withdrew his gaze and looked at him. Wu Jili's profile was distinct, unlike the soft and gentle outlines of the three brothers, but this man was indeed his brother.

"Did you suddenly make this decision for Yuzhi, or for yourself?"

Wu Jili didn't look at him, turned around and walked outside. When he got to the door, he heard the intermittent shouting and crying from the next door, and said softly, "I just want to see that Yuzhi is fine."

Wen Zhaoling smiled slightly, probably a little bit unwilling.But even so, he still nodded, "If you are willing to come, the Wen family will naturally welcome you."
