Chapter 53
"Ah Yuan..."
He Qiu's face was flushed; normally, even if she had been bumped, she wouldn't look like this. The only possibility was...
"Mother told her too!"
Li Yuan roughly guessed it.
"Dinner's ready."
After saying that, He Qiu lowered her head and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen.
...
dinner!
He Qiushi seemed to have returned to her previous state, remaining silent and eating with her head down.
"Ah Jun, are you done eating? If you're done, let's go back inside."
Wang Xiulan got up and, ignoring Li Jun's objections, pulled him away, obviously to make room for the two of them.
The two entered the house.
The atmosphere in the main room suddenly became awkward. He Qiushi kept her head down and didn't even dare to look at Li Yuan.
He ate his meat silently, but out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at He Qiu Shi.
"This is so embarrassing."
Li Yuan was as tasteless as chewing wax. Although he had lived two lives, he was a virgin and had never eaten meat.
"Ah Yuan..."
At this moment, Madam He Qiu put down her bowl and chopsticks and spoke.
His eyes flickered slightly, and the words were on the tip of his tongue, but it was as if they were blocked.
"If Sister Qiu is willing, I am willing too."
Li Yuan finally spoke up; after all, he was a man, and he couldn't be pretentious.
After saying that sentence.
He Qiu's gaze, however, calmed down.
"I'm willing, but I have a few conditions, and I hope you can agree to them."
"OK!"
Li Yuan nodded without much hesitation.
"First, I'm following you, not asking for any title or status, just that you treat me well."
"Secondly, if you ever find me unpleasant, just tell me, and I will leave quietly on my own."
People should learn to be content, and women should be even more so!
She looked at Li Yuan quietly, waiting for his answer.
"Sister Qiu..."
Li Yuan was moved and felt sorry for her.
He knew that this was He Qiu's inferiority complex; she felt that she was a widow and not good enough for him, which was why she was so humble.
"No, don't worry."
Li Yuan extended his hand.
He Qiu immediately understood her thoughts, and her face flushed. However, she still extended her hand. But having made tofu for many years, her hands were not very pretty and even had some calluses.
But she's very fair-skinned!
The inner room.
Wang Xiulan pressed her ear against the door to listen outside, but... perhaps the door was closed too tightly, the sound was very faint, and she couldn't hear anything clearly.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Li Jun sat on the bed, bewildered, his face full of confusion.
"Don't speak!"
Wang Xiulan, who was already anxious, turned her head and glared at him.
"oh...."
......
No cultivation today.
Li Yuan took a special bath, and seeing that He Qiu's door was tightly closed, he gently knocked on it... The door opened the next moment.
There was only one candle in the room, and it was a red candle.
This may be He Qiu's only wish.
"Sister Qiu..."
"Um......."
He Qiushi covered her head with the quilt, her voice barely audible.
Li Yuan naturally lifted a corner of the blanket, slipped smoothly inside, and then said with a soft "coming..."
.....
The bed swayed, and the candlelight flickered, echoing each other from afar.
Suddenly, He Qiu frowned!
"What's wrong...?"
Li Yuan remembered that it was on his wedding day... that he suddenly fell ill.
In other words...
.........
early morning.
He Qiu Shi... no, she should be called Qiu Yun now. She needs to get up quietly.
However, Li Yuan grabbed him.
"Can you get up?"
Li Yuan asked with a mischievous grin.
Once this kind of thing starts, it's hard to stop.
He's fine, but Qiu Yun's small frame...
"None of your business."
Qiu Yun rolled her eyes at him, and then put on her clothes under Li Yuan's watchful gaze.
"Hmm...not bad, no more worries about having children."
"ah--"
Qiu Yun was taken aback at first, but her face turned bright red the next moment. She had intentionally bound her chest, and just now...
I'm ignoring you.
She walked out of the house like a young woman.
"Ha ha....."
Li Yuan burst into laughter, lay down on the bed with his arms outstretched, and finally got to eat. It was worth the trip to this world.
.....
kitchen.
Wang Xiulan got up early and was busy.
When Qiu Yun came in, she immediately became awkward, but Wang Xiulan smiled and took her hand.
"Girl, from now on we're family."
"Things will get better and better."
"Don't overthink it, understand?"
Wang Xiulan smiled as she helped her tidy up her slightly messy hair.
"Auntie..."
Qiu Yun's eyes instantly reddened. She hugged her and said, "Thank you, Auntie. I will take good care of A Yuan and will also be filial to you."
"Okay, okay, okay..."
.....
Li Yuan slept until the sun was high in the sky today.
He was not wearing his official robes today.
"I'm going out at noon today, so you don't need to wait for me to have lunch."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out.
When Wang Xiulan chased after him, he was already gone. "This child, he prepared so much food for lunch."
She was thinking of celebrating for them both, but unexpectedly...
"Let's wait until tonight, my brother is coming too."
"Alright!"
.....
Baoshan Restaurant.
When Li Yuan arrived, the place was almost full.
"The first floor is fine."
As soon as the servant came to greet him, he spoke, and then led him to the very back corner.
"You can arrange it as you see fit."
"Okay."
The servant was perceptive, as people often did this.
After sitting down, Li Yuan looked around but didn't see Huang Si. "We agreed to meet today?"
"Why hasn't anyone arrived yet?"
As for disappearing, he wasn't afraid; he had already inquired about the background of the Baoshan Restaurant.
It's not worth doing something like this for a mere hundred taels of silver.
soon.
The waiter brought over the wine and dishes. "Sir, everything is ready. If you'd like more, just call me."
"Um!"
Li Yuan nodded slightly, then poured himself a drink and began to eat.
Eat while you wait!
My younger brother ate his fill last night, but he's hungry now.
"Big brother, big brother....."
After eating for a while, a figure hurriedly arrived, and without any ceremony, sat down directly opposite him, picked up a wine glass, and drank a glass.
"I'm dying of thirst."
"Is that not enough? Shall I get you a few more pots?"
"That's enough, that's enough."
Huang Si quickly replied, knowing that Li Yuan was anxious, "I have managed to find out some news about Li Shouyi."
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan was thrilled and immediately asked, "Where?"
After more than half a year, there is finally news about his father.
Before the rebels breached the outer city, he asked Qiu Tong to inquire, but to no avail. Now, he finally has some information.
"Six months ago, the county soldiers and the rebels had just started fighting."
"A small group of rebels attacked the rear of the county soldiers, but because he was a doctor, he didn't die."
"After that, they were taken to the rebels."
really!
Li Yuan thought to himself, just as he had guessed, the rebels weren't stupid. Killing a healer on the battlefield would be foolish.
"Get to the point, where are you now?"
"Yes, yes..."
"After the rebels breached the outer city, he and a group of skilled fighters left; their exact destination is currently unknown!"
