Zhong Li whimpered, the pain was terrible, and when she opened her eyes, she was still awake, and instinctively slapped her up.

Chapter 17 Vicious

Pei Xing was slapped by her soft little paws.

When meeting Pei Xing's gloomy gaze, Zhong Li shivered and suddenly woke up. She stumbled and said, "Third, uncle, I didn't mean it. I fell asleep. I didn't mean to hit you. Don't blame me, uncle."

Pei Xing was too lazy to care about her.

The wind was blowing outside the window at some point, the window slammed, and the noisy sound covered Zhong Li's pounding heart. She tried to grab his disturbing hand several times, but finally held back.

When he met the girl's pale and embarrassed face, he just clicked his tongue and let go of his hands in a bored manner.

He closed his eyes, waved his long arms, and wrapped the girl in his arms. She was soft and fragrant, and it was strangely comfortable to hold.

Zhong Li tentatively said, "The third uncle and Gu Lin's affairs..."

She started a conversation, she thought he would answer, but he still ignored it, Zhong Li glanced at him carefully, his breathing was steady, and he looked like he was asleep.

Zhong Li gave him a few glances with a small face, and there was a faint illusion that he was taking revenge on her.

She lay stunned for a long time, and she didn't know when she would fall asleep. This night, because she was thinking about things, Zhong Li didn't sleep well. When she woke up again, Zhong Li found that she was lying in his bed. In his arms, he put one hand on her waist and buried his cheek in the crevice of her neck.

Zhong Li was going to get up sneakily, and carefully removed his arm. As soon as she moved, Pei Xing opened her eyes impatiently. Zhong Li felt like a light on her back. face.

The man's cold eyes showed displeasure, apparently awakened by her.

Zhong Li's heart tightened, "It's still early, Third Uncle, let's sleep a little longer."

He frowned uncomfortably, staring at her coldly, obviously getting up.

She groped and put on her clothes. Seeing that he didn't stop her, she flattered: "Third uncle, will I be here tomorrow night?"

Pei Xing didn't speak, just closed his eyes.

Zhong Li breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out in the dark. It was pitch dark outside. There was only a lamp hanging at the door. When the wind blew, the candle would not go out, and it only illuminated a small area.

Seeing her, Qiuyue hurriedly walked out of the west wing.

The master and servant did not mention the lantern, and walked back to the Star Picking Pavilion with a deep foot and a shallow foot.

Zhong Li didn't notice, there was a pair of eyes staring at them.

When he returned to Picking Star Pavilion, it was only three quarters of Yin Shi, Zhong Li slept for a while, and when he woke up, he sighed unconsciously. Seeing him in the morning was a little unhappy, and she didn't dare to mention Gu Lin's matter, but since he didn't drive her away last night, he probably accepted her favor, right?

Zhong Li's palm-sized face wrinkled involuntarily. She couldn't guess Pei Xing's mind. When facing him, she felt a sense of frustration for no reason. She was born beautiful. Her man will always be amazed and obsessed unconsciously.

Pei Xing was different from them. Every time he was staring at him coldly, Zhong Li would wonder, is she not beautiful enough?

However, his indifferent response was also a good sign. When she repaid his kindness, it might not take long for him to lose his freshness at all, and then he would be able to relax and get together easily.

All she has to do is to save enough money to solve her opponents and pave the way for the future.

She didn't dare to delay any longer, so she quickly got up. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There must be many people greeting the old lady. Zhong Li wants to go back early to avoid meeting others.

When Zhong Li was ready, the sky was just bright, the fog outside was thick, bigger than Yin Shi, and the entire small courtyard was shrouded in fog, standing at the door, unable to see the walls of the courtyard.

Zhong Li asked Qiuyue to rest, and took Xia He to the old lady's residence.

When they came, the old lady was already up, and the Duke of Zhenbei was also there.

Xiaomei ushered Zhong Li into the west wing, "Miss, please wait here for a while, Lord Hou will leave in a while."

Zhong Li nodded, Xiaomei was very careful, afraid that she would be cold, and asked her maid to prepare a stove for her. Zhong Li bent her lips and said thanks.

In the room, the atmosphere was very solemn, Zhenbei Hou was talking to the old lady about Gu Lin.

He didn't mention Gu Lin's illness, he just said: "He was stubborn since he was a child, I thought it would be better when he was older, but who would have expected that he would become more indecent recently, and if he acts recklessly like this, sooner or later, he will cause a big problem, and I will simply send him away. Go to Zhuangzi, wait until he realizes his mistake, and then bring him back."

The old lady is old and has long since stopped asking about things. Pei Xing also specially warned her not to disturb her with these bad things. Therefore, although the news of yesterday's events was big, the old lady didn't know anything about it.

Hearing this, she couldn't help but persuade a couple of words, "When will you fail to discipline? This is a big New Year's Eve, before the first month of the month, you will send him away. Isn't this chilling the child's heart?"

Gu Lin had often complained about Zhenbeihou's partiality in front of the old lady.

He is the eldest son, and it stands to reason that he should be asked to be the heir, but the Marquis of Zhenbei has not filed for the title. Before Gu Cheng was injured, many people thought that he wanted to pass the title to Gu Cheng.

Zhenbei Hou said: "Mother doesn't know how much trouble he has caused. If she doesn't send him to reflect, I'm afraid it will cause even more trouble."

Hualiu disease is not incurable. If it is not serious in the early stage, there is still a possibility of cure. Zhenbeihou sent him to Zhuangzi. One is to let him reflect, and the other is to let him recuperate. The maids in the room all beat.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was in a very bad mood at the moment. In the past few years since the death of Zhong Shi, he has been in a daze and never asked about the affairs of the mansion. He never expected that President Gu Lin would be so crooked. The news was blocked for a while, but everyone in the house knew the trouble.

How stupid is this. Now that Gu Cheng is like this, if Gu Lin can't help him anymore, he is very likely to have no successor. Zhenbeihou made up his mind to discipline him.
