It was a rare day that was productive.
He could only constantly investigate and wait passively in the yamen.
For Chen Jue,
Although it was depressing,
It was not a strange feeling.
In the evening,
Just as they were about to leave the yamen,
Li Yu came to pick up Li Xiao in a carriage.
Under the glow of the setting sun,
He was wearing a simple moon-white robe, exuding a steady handsomeness.
The northern yamen of the Dali Monastery was originally a dignified place. People who passed by rarely stopped,
Even fewer people took a few more glances.
But at this moment, Li Yu was standing there,
Although he was just standing there with a tall and slender body,
It also attracted the attention of the rare passers-by.
This person's face was like jade,
He was exceptionally handsome.
Even if a man passed by, he would take a few more glances.
Li Xiao heard that her brother was here,
Then, he ran out of the room alive and kicking.
These days, she was much more lively than before,
It was as if she had regained the delicate and spirited air that a young girl in her prime should have.
Walking in the Dali Monastery,
Her figure was graceful,
She seemed to be much lighter.
Li Xiao rushed in front of Li Yu and was almost about to throw herself into his arms.
But at the last minute, she remembered that she was a big girl and couldn't go into her brother's arms anymore, so she hurriedly stopped.
She shook a few times,
Before she stopped.
Li Yu looked at her funny appearance and smiled,
He reached out and tapped her nose.
Then..,
He waved his left hand at Li Xiao,
The bright red sugar-coated haws with the luster of sugar entered Li Xiao's eyes.
"Ah!" Her eyebrows and eyes curved. She tried her best to restrain herself from licking her lips.
Brother was so nice.
Li Yu walked past Li Xiao and saw Chen Jue striding out with a fierce face.
He was dressed in official clothes. He was full of energy and walked with the wind.
Li Xiao was about to follow Li Yu into the carriage when two tall horses suddenly galloped over.
She turned to look and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
Xu Ting was the first to dismount. Then, with a straight face and pursed lips, he turned around to help Wang Yi.
Wang Yi's hand was still wrapped in bandages, and the wound on his shoulder was not completely healed, but his face was already scabbed.
He glanced at Li Xiao, then hurriedly waved his hand at Xu Ting. He said embarrassedly, "My injury isn't serious. It's not to the point where I can't dismount."
If others saw him like this, they would think that he was delicate.
However, Xu Ting did not pay attention to him. Instead, he reached out and grabbed his armpit, helping him off the horse.
When Wang Yi's feet touched the ground, Xu Ting immediately stopped and turned around to face Chen Jue, who had just stepped out of the door.
"My Lord." He cupped his fists and bowed.
"My Lord." Wang Yi followed.
"Did you find anything?" Chen Jue stood on the steps and looked down with a stern expression.
Xu Ting turned to look at Li Xiao and Li Yu. Then, he took a step forward and whispered a few words into Chen Jue's ear.
Chen Jue grunted. "We'll set off now."
Xu Ting nodded.
When Chen Jue turned around and instructed Wang Yi to prepare a horse for Lord Chen, Xu Ting turned around and looked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao was looking at him eagerly. Her eyes were filled with curiosity, as if she wanted to know what he had said to Lord Chen.
Xu Ting smiled faintly at her. Although it was a faint smile, Li Xiao still noticed it.
Big Brother Xu always liked to keep a straight face. Even the slightest change in his expression could not be ignored!
Xu Ting turned to look at Chen Jue. Seeing that he was looking at Wang Yi and was focused on talking to Wang Yi, he hurriedly took out a bag from his sleeve.
Li Xiao's eyes immediately widened. Like a puppy who knew that when its owner opened the bone pot, it was time to feed it meat, she could smell that Xu Ting was about to feed it.
Sure enough, Xu Ting grabbed the bag in his hand and gently tossed it to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao raised her hand and easily caught the bag in her hand.
She touched it and her eyes were full of smiles. Her eyes were watery and happy, as if she was wagging her tail.
Xu Ting nodded faintly. Then, he turned around and waited for Chen Jue, as if nothing had happened.
When Chen Jue turned around, Li Xiao hurriedly hid the bag behind her and acted sneakily.
Li Yu held the stick of sugar-coated haws in one hand and leaned against the carriage as he watched his sister and Xu Ting interact. His expression softened.
When he looked at Xu Ting again, he seemed to be deep in thought.
Wang Yi turned around to prepare the horses. Chen Jue looked back at Li Xiao and saw that the little girl was looking at him sneakily. Her face was filled with uncontrollable joy. He frowned.
He keenly realized that something must have happened that he did not know about.
Soon, his gaze fell on the sugar-coated haws in Li Yu's hand. He must be thinking about eating something delicious.
"Get on the carriage. You can go back first."
Chen Jue spoke as if he was talking to two family members. His tone was commanding, but his expression was much gentler.
Li Xiao thought for a moment and obediently got on the carriage.
The moment the curtain of the carriage was hung, she impatiently opened the small paper bag in her hand. It was a bag of crispy candy!
Crispy candy!!!
Li Yu nodded at Chen Jue, then glanced at Xu Ting and prepared to get on the carriage as well.
Chen Jue was already walking towards the yamen to welcome Wang Yi who was leading the horse out.
He suddenly paused and turned around. He took out a bag from his chest and threw it at Li Yu.
The bag flew in a parabola, looking very heavy.
Li Yu nimbly turned around, raised his hand, and grabbed the bag.
He squeezed it in his hand and saw that it was a bag of silver. There were still many pieces of silver inside.
He looked up at Chen Jue in confusion. Under the light of the setting sun, Lord Chen stood on the steps with an arrogant expression on his face.
"Escort Li Xiao home safely," Chen Jue said.
"…" Li Yu was stunned. He raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but laugh.
When Li Xiao heard her name, she immediately leaned half of her body out of the window of the carriage and leaned against the window. She stuck her head out and said to Chen Jue, "Sir, I want to go with you."
"Follow your brother home obediently!" Chen Jue's face immediately darkened and he reprimanded her.
Li Xiao shrank back after being reprimanded. She only stuck her head out and continued to stare at Chen Jue.
Chen Jue's heart was like iron. He was very insistent and waved his hand to chase them away.
Li Yu smiled and accepted the money. He turned around and lifted the curtain of the carriage. He nimbly climbed into the carriage. In the next moment, the carriage rolled away. Li Xiao's head was still sticking out of the window, looking at Chen Jue.
Chen Jue glared at her fiercely. Only then did she shrink back in grievance, like an abandoned little wife.
