The smile on the old lady's face disappeared, and she said seriously, "When your mother was alive, she admired Brother Sheng very much, and she also intended to promise you to him. If she hadn't left early, I'm afraid that your marriage has already been settled. I have always wanted to keep you by my side, could it be that Li girl refuses to marry him?"

Zhong Li waited for her to finish, and then smiled: "Thank grandmother for your love, but my status is low, so I don't deserve my cousin. My mother just mentioned it casually, and she also told me that she wanted to marry me to my aunt's house. Well, I have always regarded Cousin Xiao as my elder brother. Before, I was afraid that he would have to take responsibility because of my second aunt's jokes and wanted to marry me. I told him that I would take him as my elder brother and let him also Don't worry about what my mother says, let alone what the second aunt says, he will be able to marry someone he likes in the future."

The old lady never expected that Zhong Li thought so.

She even suspected Xiao Sheng for a while. He deliberately prevented her from asking Li girl what she meant. Could it be because she knew that Li girl would not marry him? Did he just want to cut first and then play?

This world is especially harsh on women. If you quit your relationship, your reputation will be affected to some extent. It is not easy to get married and want to quit.

No matter what, the old lady couldn't believe that Xiao Sheng was such a jerk, but with the facts in front of her, she had to believe it.

She suppressed all the complicated emotions in her heart and said, "Sheng'er has an outstanding talent and a very good temperament. If she can marry him, he will treat you well in the future, so girl Li really don't think about it?"

Zhong Li's little face was wrinkled, "In my heart, he is my elder brother, it would be a little strange if he really got married, grandmother shouldn't make fun of us, cousin Xiao will definitely be able to marry a better one in the future, as for me, definitely Find what you like."

After she left, the old lady said something wrong, and then said: "Hurry up and have someone go to the Guogong's mansion to see if she is leaving, she is in a hurry, maybe she has already set off, and then send all the people to Zhong's mansion. Stare, stop her, oh, this is a mess."

She couldn't help covering her chest, and she was so anxious.

Half an hour later, the maid came back in a hurry, and when she learned that the old lady An had not left the house, the old lady was relieved.

The maid said: "When old lady An saw the slave, she thought you were trying to urge her to propose marriage as soon as possible, and she even asked the slave to apologize to you."

The old lady asked carefully, only to find out that last night, Zi Shi, An Shizi suddenly fainted, causing people in the house to turn their backs.

Hearing the words, the old lady raised her heart, "Well, why did you fall into a coma?"

The maid said: "The imperial physician is currently diagnosing and treating."

Xiao Sheng also kept people's attention to the movements of the Duke Anguo's mansion, and his eyes sank after learning that Mrs. An had not been able to leave the mansion.

Pei Xing didn't come back until the next day. When he was too busy last night, he didn't go back to the house and stayed at the Beizhen Fusi directly.

In the evening, he went back to Youfeng Hall first, thinking of those new clothes, he opened the suitcase and picked out the most eye-catching golden robe.

As soon as he picked out his clothes, he heard Qin Xing say that Young Master Biao had something to look for and was waiting at the gate of the courtyard. Pei Xing snorted lightly, "Then let him wait."

After he finished speaking, he took the secret road to pick the star pavilion.

Zhong Li had just coaxed Cheng'er to sleep, and when she was going to go back to take a bath, she found that Pei Xing had already arrived when she entered the room. She was so frightened that her heartbeat was a little unsteady, "Third uncle, why are you here now?"

Pei Xing had a smile on his lips and looked in a very good mood. Hearing this, he was not annoyed. He just pointed to the clothes on the bed, "Change it and talk about it."

Zhong Li just glanced at it, and the ear roots were burning hot, what kind of ghost clothes is this?

A golden body, the top is not as big as the small one, and the lower body is surprisingly short, it is estimated that it can cover the buttocks. What is the difference between wearing this kind of clothes and not wearing it?

Chapter 24 Possessiveness

Zhong Li stood still. Dedicating herself to him was a last resort. In the end, it was just a deal between them. He saved her, and she dedicated herself to him. Accompanying him for a while was her biggest concession. .

She is not a dancer, nor is she a woman who is entertained in a brothel. Her dignity and pride cannot make her retreat again and again. Although she doesn't want to anger him, she can't let him do whatever he wants.

She suddenly felt so tired, so tired that she didn't even want to face him. She looked at the clothes, dazed for a moment, and then said, "If the third uncle likes to look at it, you can find one you are willing to wear."

After she finished speaking, without seeing his expression, she left the inner room with a tight face.

Pei Xing didn't miss it, the embarrassment flashed across the girl's face, and she vaguely understood why she was angry. He didn't force the girl's liking, nor was he interested in watching others wear it, and suddenly felt less interested.

He rolled up and threw the clothes into her closet, then leaned on the couch, picked up the book she left aside and swept it.

Outside, when the maid prepared the water, Zhong Li took a bath on her own. Qiuyue and Xia He could vaguely feel that the master was in a bad mood and did things lightly.

After drying her hair, Zhong Li turned around and entered the inner room.

In the room, Pei Xing was leaning on the couch, with one leg slightly bent, still reading, he read it with great interest, and there was no displeasure on his face.

Zhong Li walked to the bed in silence, passed him, and climbed to the inside, without saying a word from beginning to end, Pei Xing threw the book on the dresser, and with a wave of his long arm, he hooked him into his arms, Fingers pinched her chin, "If you don't want to be blunt, should you be angry?"

He didn't know how to coax people at all, so he said soft words to the old lady, and now he just rubbed the back of her head awkwardly.

It's an apology to the little girl.

Zhong Li's heart trembled, and she was suddenly very aggrieved. She held back her tears, but the tip of her nose was sore, and she suddenly buried her cheek in his shoulder.

Pei Xing didn't push her away, but smoothed her back again. When she first came to beg him, he didn't want to touch her, but it was just on a whim. He must be aggrieved.

Pei Xing is not slow, and naturally she can feel the powerlessness she shows from time to time, but so what? This world is inherently unfair, she has already provoked him, and she can only stay by his side before he gets bored.
