Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 45

Wen Zhaoling came out eagerly, and only started to think about it on the way. After thinking about it for a while, he felt weird. He was sending Yuzhi to the car. At that time, he didn't see Zhucui in the car, but she was the one who delivered the letter just now. , is the whole thing arranged?Thinking of this, Wen Zhaoling felt at ease. Since this was the case, it should have been arranged by Liu Niang, and from his understanding, he was sure that Mrs. Li would not do anything to hurt Yuzhi.

There was the sound of horse hooves behind him, and he didn't need to turn his head to know that it was Ji Li who had arrived.Wen Zhaoling didn't turn his head to take a look, but speeded up. He only learned to ride a horse when he was young, and he hadn't touched a horse for many years. Now he still feels uncomfortable when riding a horse, but this is the fastest way, no matter whether Liu Niang is doing it or not. For what reason, he wanted to see Yuzhi as soon as possible.

It was getting late and the sun was already setting. Wen Zhaoling galloped all the way and rushed out of the city gate. Fortunately, there were not many pedestrians on the road at this time, so the journey was smooth.

After rushing a few miles outside the city, finally saw the carriage. Wen Zhaoling was overjoyed, and speeded up to the front. The coachman was startled when he saw his sudden appearance, "Master, why are you here?"

Without further ado, Wen Zhaoling dismounted to the front of the car and opened the curtain to take a look, only to find that it was empty.

"Where are the eldest young mistress and the third young mistress?"

The coachman was taken aback by his eager tone, and hurriedly replied: "The two young mistresses went to the forest over there together just now, and they said they would come out later. I have been waiting here with the maid in front of the eldest mistress for a long time. After waiting for someone, she went to find someone and just went in."

Wen Zhaoling nodded, turned around and walked towards the woods. The coachman called him and looked at him hesitantly.Wen Zhaoling knew that he was worried that he would encounter some indecent scene, so he gave him a reassuring look, "I'll just look outside, otherwise I'm really worried."

The coachman didn't dare to say much, so he stopped talking.

Wen Zhaoling pushed through the weeds and walked into the forest. After walking a few steps, he saw Mrs. Li standing not far away. He subconsciously looked around her carefully, but he didn't see Yuzhi.

"Liu Niang, where are the Yuzhi people?"

Mrs. Li glanced at him up and down, "Where does eldest brother think sister-in-law is?"

Wen Zhaoling frowned, "Liu Niang, what tricks are you playing? Where is Yuzhi?"

Mrs. Li smiled, "Brother, I always suspected that your sickness was just pretending, but now I see that it is indeed the case. You came here on horseback. It seems that you are really worried about your sister-in-law's safety."

Wen Zhaoling calmed down and looked at her quietly, "I was very worried before, but I believe you are not someone who would do stupid things. You brought me here, what do you have to say?"

"You know me well. Naturally, I won't harm my sister-in-law, but I don't say that, I'm just worried that you won't come."

"Don't beat around the bush, just speak directly."

Mrs. Li raised her hand to straighten her sideburns, "Actually, I basically already know the answer. You rushed here so recklessly. Uncharacteristically, you must have been prepared to expose your actual situation. You gave up more than a dozen years for her." Years of hiding, I can't compare to this alone."

Wen Zhaoling smiled, "You're thinking too simply. I didn't pretend that I was ill before, but I still didn't show it when I got better. As for what you said was uncharacteristic, it's time anyway. I didn't intend to hide it anymore."

"So, I made it possible for you to do this." Mrs. Li looked behind him and laughed, "It turns out that my uncle is also here, and our sister-in-law is really very charming."

Wen Zhaoling turned his head and took a look. In the distance, Ji Li was standing beside the car and looking in his direction. He seemed to have listened to the coachman's words and didn't come over immediately.He turned to look at Mrs. Li, "What else do you want to say? Let's talk about it together, and I'll go see Yuzhi after I finish."

The look on Li's face was a little sad, "I have been desperate since I asked Fuqin to tell you about that matter. After I told you these words today, I know that it will be difficult for me to turn back. I just want to ask you, when did you "Have you ever had a crush on me?"

Wen Zhaoling was a little surprised, he never thought that Mrs. Li, who has always been respectful and polite, would ask such a question.

After asking this question, Mrs. Li felt a little unnatural, she lowered her head and continued: "The girl you mentioned must be Yuzhi, she has a marriage contract with you, and you said that you knew you were responsible for her since you were a child, you must be referring to her But I don't understand, you haven't spent as much time with her as you have with me, why are you so devoted to her?"

After listening to Li Shi's words, Wen Zhaoling didn't answer her question, but asked back: "What's the point of asking this? You are my sister-in-law, that's a fact, and it's also a fact that I'm a married man now." , no matter what you say, you and I are impossible, so, what's the point of asking these questions?" He was originally handsome, standing in the forest, and the mountain wind blew his clothes like the wind, and even more so. It seems that he has extraordinary demeanor, but his expression is very solemn, which makes Li feel unable to look at each other.

She turned her head to look elsewhere, and chuckled lightly: "Maybe I just want an answer, I also know that everything I do is futile, but I am always unwilling, if I can't get an answer, I always feel that I will be uneasy for the rest of my life. "

Wen Zhaoling nodded, "Okay, then I will give you the answer. I have always had only brother and sister friendship with you, and nothing else."

Li Shi's expression was unexpectedly calm, as if he was not surprised that he would say this, he nodded, "I understand, as expected." She laughed, "I have made an effort, and even I played tricks, but the result is still the same, so I don’t have any regrets.”

Wen Zhaoling saw that she was not doing anything special or acting abnormally, so she relaxed a little.

"Sister-in-law is not far away, you go and see her." Li said and walked out.

Wen Zhaoling stopped hesitating when he heard the words, and immediately walked inside. Ji Li saw his movements in the distance, and hurriedly followed.Wen Zhaoling walked inside for a while, saw the familiar figure from a distance, and ran over there at a faster pace.Yu Zhi and Que Ya'er were walking this way, and soon saw Wen Zhaoling. They were surprised at first, but then realized that he had spoken to Mrs. Li.

Just now Mrs. Li said something to her and told her to take her into the woods, but she left without saying a word. She was in such a mess that she couldn't find a way out. Apparently Mrs. Li knew that she was blind. She was extremely frustrated, and when such embarrassing things were known, she naturally felt uncomfortable.If Que Ya'er hadn't come to look for her, she might have spent the night in the woods.So when she saw Wen Zhaoling running towards her, she was also pleasantly surprised, and quickly lifted the corner of her skirt and ran towards him.

As soon as he got to the front, Yuzhi hadn't stood still, but Wen Zhaoling had already pulled her into his arms.Yuzhi was stunned, with her ear pressed against his chest, only feeling his strong heartbeat, and slowly calmed down, but thinking that Que Yaer was still there, she quickly pushed him away.Hearing Que Ya'er covering her mouth and laughing lowly, she felt even more ashamed. She was about to say something to Wen Zhaoling, but when she looked up, she saw Ji Li following behind Wen Zhaoling, and she was surprised for no reason.

Ji Li's expression was gloomy and lonely, just now Wen Zhaoling and Yuzhi were making love to each other in front of him, which was really hard for him to accept.Although he knew in his heart that they were already husband and wife, seeing the intimacy between them with his own eyes still made him unhappy.

Wen Zhaoling looked at the two of them, and broke the deadlock, "I'll talk about it when I have something to say, it's getting dark, otherwise mother should be worried."

Yuzhi came back to her senses, nodded, and said to Ji Li: "Let's go back first."

Ji Li nodded silently, turned around and walked out of the forest first.

When several people arrived on the road, Mrs. Li had already got into the car, opened the curtain and looked at the few people who came by, and said, "I won't go back with you, please tell my mother-in-law that I want to go to Mingyue nunnery for a short stay." For a while, please don't worry about her."

Yuzhi glanced at Wen Zhaoling subconsciously, not knowing what he said to her, which made her go to Mingyue nunnery, is this going to become a monk?
Wen Zhaoling quickly stopped her, "Liu Niang, why are you doing this? Mingyue Temple is full of monks. If you go there, don't you want to become a monk too?"

Mrs. Li smiled, "Brother, where did you go, I just think there are some truths that I need to understand by myself, maybe I will understand something in front of the Buddha." She turned her head and told the driver, and put down the curtain.

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Wen Zhaoling didn't stop her anymore, maybe it would be better to let her think it through alone.

The carriage slowly moved out of sight, and Wen Zhaoling remembered that without a carriage, it would be difficult for Yuzhi and Que Ya'er to go back.There are only two horses here, he can take Yuzhi with him, but it might not be appropriate to ask Ji Li to take Queya with him.

Yuzhi also saw the embarrassment of the situation, and said with a smile: "I think we might as well walk back slowly, anyway, we don't have a chance to take a walk usually."

Wen Zhaoling smiled and nodded, "That's right, let's go back." After speaking, he naturally reached out to hold her, and led her to the horse, holding the rein with one hand and her with the other, He walked forward first, and Que Ya'er followed behind.Ji Li looked at the backs of the two walking away together, and was stunned for a long time before he took the rein and followed.

The group of four hardly said anything. After walking for a long time, Yuzhi finally spoke. She said some innocuous words to Wen Zhaoling, as if she wanted to ease the atmosphere, but she didn't know the conversation between Ji Li and Wen Zhaoling before. , the two have begun to guard against each other, and the relaxation can only be limited to the surface.

Ji Li has been listening to Yu Zhi's words in silence, with a slight smile, still in that slightly playful tone, and the things he said are interesting even if they are boring.He closed his eyes, his sincerity became an obsession after all, he really didn't want to give up.When he looked up at the two figures in front of him, he finally made up his mind.
