Chapter 187: Reluctant and Affectionate
Half a quarter of an hour ago, on the slope.
"Seeing this from afar, I thought it was a wildfire, but it turns out you are enjoying yourself here!" Li Wan said, and then looked at the curtain that was being dismantled, and asked suspiciously, "Why are you leaving now that I'm here?"
Ever since she appeared at the foot of the mountain, a group of old women and maids began to dismantle the windproof curtain, so Li Wan asked this question.
"I was planning to go back."
Wang Xifeng was seen holding up the golden hairpin on her head, complaining: "I have been busy with the accounts these past two days, and my second master is a troublemaker. I am almost going crazy. Today I specially found this quiet place, hoping to have a good time for half a day - but I didn't expect that the mountain wind would blow and give me a headache again."
It would be fine if he said this to other people, but when he said it in front of Li Wan, it sounded like he was showing off and demonstrating.
But the turmoil caused by Baoyu's checking of accounts some time ago really changed too many things in Rongguo Mansion, and the relationship between Li Wan and Wang Xifeng was one of the things that changed!
This is because when Wang Xifeng lost power, Li Wan was once very active, hoping to replace her and take the position of mistress of the house - even if she failed, at least she wanted to take control of the financial power in her parents-in-law's courtyard.
As a result, because of Sun Shaozong's interference, this desire to seize power was completely shattered. Instead, it made Wang Xifeng wary, and her relationship with Li Wan was no longer as close as before.
At this moment, Li Wan realized that Wang Xifeng's words were meant to show off her power and masculinity to her, and she couldn't help feeling annoyed, so the two sisters-in-law became less talkative.
After dismantling the tent, the maids and women packed up the incense, heater and other items, and the two went their separate ways at the foot of the mountain. Wang Xifeng was surrounded by people, but Li Wan was accompanied by Suyun, who was all alone.
"Huh?"
Not long after walking, Li Wan suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the slope suspiciously, muttering, "There are many quiet and beautiful places in this garden, why did she choose this place?"
People who have something to hide always think that others are also unclean.
Especially since Wang Xifeng had once hinted at her thoughts, every time Li Wan thought of this, she felt uneasy, but she also hoped to find Wang Xifeng's weakness so that they could check and balance each other.
Therefore, feeling something was wrong, she immediately took Suyun and went back.
Perhaps out of a woman's intuition, Li Wan happened to follow the winding mountain path and found this lonely courtyard, where she blocked Sun Shaozong!
"It's you?!"
Seeing the tall and handsome figure she had been dreaming about day and night, Li Wan first cried out in surprise, then quickly covered her mouth and asked in a delicate voice, "Why is Erlang here?"
"this……"
Sun Shaozong was a little stunned when he was blocked in the courtyard by the master and servant, but he immediately bowed as if nothing had happened and said, "I was tired from walking around the garden and wanted to take a rest, but I didn't expect to meet my sister-in-law here."
Tired?
With a body as strong as steel, he gets tired after just walking a few steps?
Li Wan didn't believe it at all. When she connected it with Wang Xifeng's strange behavior, she began to speculate. She couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Are you really just taking a break? I'm not ruining Erlang's good fortune, am I?"
Oops!
Could it be that this woman discovered some flaw?
It shouldn't be like this!
Even Wang Xifeng only thought that Ping'er was discussing business with her. What flaws could Li Wan, a widow who lived in seclusion, find?
Sun Shaozong analyzed the situation nervously, and finally decided to leave here first, so he bowed again and said, "What good can I do? But this place is remote, if someone with bad intentions sees me and my sister-in-law talking here, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate, right?"
What he meant by this was, of course, that he wanted the master and servant to leave as soon as possible, or make way for them.
Unexpectedly, the head maid Suyun became a little distracted when she saw Sun Shaozong.
When he heard this, he didn't know what was wrong with him. He hurriedly went forward to close the door and bolted it!
Sun Shaozong was stunned immediately.
Li Wan's face flushed red, and she angrily scolded, "Why are you barging into the door in broad daylight?"
After being scolded, Suyun realized that she had done something ridiculous, and hurriedly put on an obedient appearance. However, her peach blossom eyes could not help but glance at Sun Shaozong.
Seeing that she didn't know how to open the door again, Li Wan had no choice but to go forward and do it herself.
only……
Two small hands as white as jade grasped the door bolt, but suddenly they felt reluctant.
It has been almost a year since I first met and developed a secret crush on Sun Shaozong. Although I meet him in my dreams all day long and do that 'role-playing' trick, this is the first time that I am alone in a room with him like today!
If I miss today, I don’t know when I’ll be able to talk to him again.
Thinking of this, Li Wan held the door bolt in her hand, but did not move for a long time. Finally, she managed to utter, "Xiangling... Xiangling, how is she doing recently?"
I had clearly just met Xiangling a few days ago. Can't we tell whether she is doing well or not by looking at her spirit and energy?
She was clearly just trying to find something to say.
Sun Shaozong was speechless, but he had to answer seriously: "Xiangling's mother is now in my house. They are naturally very happy to meet each other after many years."
As he said this, he couldn't help but hint, "By the way, Brother Lan performed well today. He is much more perseverant than his uncle Jia Huan."
This was actually a roundabout way of reminding Li Wan not to forget that she already had a son.
"real?!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Li Wan actually unlatched the door, turned around happily and bowed : "This is all due to Erlang's good teaching. In fact, I also do those fitness exercises often, and I feel that my body is much healthier recently."
Looking at the gourd-like figure , these words are really vivid!
I imagined Li Wan was completely innocent...
cough!
He performed various postures meticulously, and Sun Shaozong's anger, which had finally subsided, showed signs of reviving.
No~
Must get out quickly!
Thinking of this, Sun Shaozong said seriously: "Sister-in-law, speaking of which , Brother Lang and others are still waiting for me in the martial arts hall. Do you think it is possible..."
Now, even if Li Wan was not sensitive, she could hear that he wanted to leave as soon as possible, so she could only give Sun Shaozong a resentful look, and then turned around reluctantly to open the gate.
