How did Lord Chen help her to the bed,
And how did he leave? Li Xiao couldn't remember at all.
She only remembered that Lord Chen suddenly leaned over … and kissed her.
Lord Chen … he kissed her..
Kissed her..
Li Xiao pressed her lips,
Her swollen lips were stunned for a long time, unable to react to this matter.
How did it happen?
Her face was red and hot,
Lord Chen had been gone for half an hour, but she was still burning.
Her eyes were swollen and uncomfortable. She slipped back under the blanket and covered her face.
Oh my god..
Her mind kept replaying Lord Chen's thick and long eyelashes when his eyes were closed.
His breath on her face.
His hot and strong hands.
His steel-like fingers when he held her waist tightly.
His soft and domineering lips..
His tongue..
Li Xiao wished that she could melt into the bed,
She buried her face in the pillow and trembled with embarrassment.
How could Lord Chen do this..
She felt sad and ashamed at the same time.
She was nervous,
She was depressed..
It wasn't until dawn that she fell asleep uneasily.
..
In the next few days, Chen Jue left early and returned late. Often, he would leave before Li Xiao woke up,
Li Xiao had already fallen asleep,
He had just returned home.
Because the grief of losing his brother could not be appeased,
In addition, he had been busy with Li Yu's case recently,
Chen Jue did not let Xiao Xiao enter the yamen to work.
Chen Jue was at the table in Li Yu's room,
He saw the note that Li Yu had left for him.
He followed the address on the note and found Liu Rui's body.
It was a mummy with an incomplete body.
Following that, a large group of people submitted memorials to accuse Liu Tianping of guilt.
From corruption to unfair handling of the case, to the crime of confiscating the family's property — fortunately, the people in Liu Tianping's residence did not have to consider whether to be exiled or not. They were all buried.
All the family's wealth was filled up the national treasury just like that.
The whole family of the House of Liu had died in the House of Liu. It was a great misfortune.
That was why when the case was closed, no one was willing to take over the House of Liu. In the end, the huge mansion was handed over to the Ninth Gate Infantry Battalion and turned into a small training ground.
Using the Yang energy of men to suppress the Yin energy.
Li Xiao sat at home for four days without seeing Lord Chen's face.
Gradually, the shyness in her heart dissipated.
She thought about how her mother had passed away and how she and her brother had only each other to depend on when they left the Li family village.
Along the way, she disguised herself as a little beggar and fearfully entered the capital city. She bought a small house … until she met Lord Chen.
She calmed down and began to realize that her mother probably had a great background, and her father was not a simple person either.
His mother had to bear a lot of pain, which was why she often lost her soul and went crazy.
Her father left the Li Village in search of someone, leaving her mother and brother to depend on each other and take care of each other.
But unexpectedly, her mother was pregnant with her at that time.
In the blink of an eye, almost fifteen years had passed. She was the only one who had been silly and was protected by her brother and mother.
As for the others … the other family members, they were all carrying hatred and anger, doing things that she did not know at all …
Father … Where was father?
Had he found that relative?
She pursed her lips and stood in the courtyard, looking up at the full moon in the sky.
Her brother was gone, so what was the point of her staying in the capital city?
Her father did not even know of her existence.
If he wanted to find her father, shouldn't he go back to the Li family village?
When her father found that relative and returned to the Li family village to look for her mother and brother, they might be able to reunite as father and daughter …
She walked toward Chen Jue's courtyard and stood at the door, leaning against the pillar. She thought about her troubles while waiting for Lord Chen.
After standing for a while, her heart began to beat like a drum.
She thought about the last time she saw Lord Chen, and the kiss between the two of them …
Li Xiao pursed her lips, and her heart beat faster and faster.
She bit her lower lip … Why don't I look for Lord Chen tomorrow?
When she thought of this, she picked up her skirt and walked toward her small courtyard, walking faster and faster.
In the end, when she reached the entrance of her small courtyard, she bumped into someone.
Chen Jue was hugged by the little girl, and he did not hold back at all. He opened his arms and hugged her.
He had been busy these days, and all he thought about was this delicate and soft little thing.
With her warm and soft body in his arms, his heart rippled. He retracted his arms and pulled the little thing into his embrace again. He buried his head in the hollow of her neck and took in a deep breath.
Mm, not bad, it was warm and sweet.
Li Xiao's body suddenly stiffened, and she stiffened in Lord Chen's arms, not knowing what to do.
Chen Jue gently let go of her and put some distance between them. He looked at the little girl with the help of the big moon. He was relieved when he saw that the little girl was not crying, nor was she angry. She was just a little dazed.
In any case, she was used to being dazed, so there was nothing to be alarmed about.
He reached out and tapped her forehead. "Where did you go in the middle of the night?"
As he spoke, his face became fierce again.
It was as if he was the stern and upright Lord Chen in the past.
However, this fierce Lord Chen's cheeks were red at this moment, and he did not look stern and upright at all.
Li Xiao took a step back and lowered her head. Her ears were red, and her heart was thumping violently. She was a little unhappy.
Why was Lord Chen always hugging and hugging her? It was like … like a lecher.
As she thought about it, she felt a little scared.
"I … I went to look for you, Lord Chen …" Li Xiao lowered her head and said in a soft voice.
"Look for me?" Chen Jue raised his eyebrows in confusion at first, but then his thoughts changed, and he was delighted.
Could it be that the little girl was like him, and because of longing …
As he thought about it, he went forward to hold the little girl's hand.
However, Li Xiao seemed to be on guard. She hurriedly took a step back and secretly looked up at Lord Chen before saying, "Lord Chen, I want to leave the capital and return to the Li family village …"
Chen Jue was stunned, and he suddenly stopped moving forward.
What?
"What did you say?" Chen Jue raised his eyebrows.
Li Xiao shrunk her shoulders and quickly looked up at him secretly. She lowered her head and said again, "I … I want to go back to the Li family village …"
"Why do you want to go back to that dilapidated village?
To farm? "
Chen Jue's voice instantly lowered by a few degrees, and his tone was particularly harsh. He lowered his head and looked at the little girl's head, and his eyes were burning with anger.
"I … I want to go back and wait for my father." Li Xiao said, then bit her lower lip and took another step back.
"There's no one in your Li family who is reliable. You want to go back and wait?
What if you can't wait?
How do you know that your father will go back? "Chen Jue was so angry that he wanted to pinch her little head and see what was inside.
Li Xiao stood there, her shoulders trembling, but she still mustered up her courage and suddenly looked up. She glared at Chen Jue and said angrily, "My brother is not unreliable, and neither is my father. I'm also very reliable!"
After saying that, she turned around and ran towards her small garden.
"…" Chen Jue was stunned. He looked at Li Xiao's back for a long time and did not come back to his senses.
Oh.
Who gave his Little Sheep the guts to yell at him?
Chen Jue recalled her frowning and slightly angry appearance, and his face suddenly showed an ambiguous smile.
He turned around and walked leisurely into the room.
When he arrived at Li Xiao's room, Chen Jue did not knock on the door and pushed it open.
The little girl was sitting at the table and fiddling with her fingers nervously. When she saw him come in, she was so scared that she stood up from the table.
She looked at Chen Jue with some nervousness, as if she was afraid that he would eat her.
Her shrunken shoulders showed that she was timid at the moment — —
She had the courage to shout at Lord Chen, but she did not have the courage to face the consequences.
Chen Jue stood at the door and deliberately looked at her with a straight face.
Li Xiao swallowed nervously. She panicked again when she thought of how Lord Chen was fierce to Wang Yi, Zhang Tang, and the others.
She … she should not have refuted Lord Chen.
"How are you going to live when you go back?" Chen Jue walked to the table and stared at her as he asked her.
Li Xiao stood at the side with her hands behind her back. She looked at Chen Jue and thought for a while before saying, "I … I can tell fortunes."
"What kind of life can a fortune-teller live in that small village?
How long are you going to wait there?
What if you don't come for a year, two years, or five years? "Chen Jue frowned.
Li Xiao pursed her lips and could not answer, but there was a stubborn expression on her face.
Chen Jue sighed. Which child would not want to see their biological father?
"How about this? Stay in the capital city until your hairpin ceremony.
I'll hold a ceremony for you and send someone to accompany you to the Li family village for a while. "Chen Jue pointed at the table and said. After that, he looked like he had made up his mind.
Li Xiao still wanted to say something, but she did not say anything when she saw the serious expression on Chen Jue's face.
"You can hold a ceremony for your hairpin ceremony as my cousin. We'll do it in my house."
Chen Jue thought for a while and said, "There are only ten days left until the 21st of this month. It's quite a tight schedule."
Li Xiao lowered her head and bit her lower lip. "I … I don't want to hold a ceremony for my hairpin ceremony."
"How can you do that? A girl's hairpin ceremony is the most important thing. It means that you're going to be an adult.
You have to hold it properly, "Chen Jue said.
"I want to go home and bury my brother's clothes with my mother." Li Xiao's voice was soft and pitiful.
Chen Jue was silent for a while. Then, he raised his hand and said, "Come here."
Li Xiao raised her head and looked at him, but she did not move.
"Come here," he repeated.
Li Xiao pursed her lips. She was a little nervous, but she still walked toward him obediently.
Chen Jue watched as she walked toward him with her head lowered. He sighed and reached out to hold her in his arms.
Li Xiao struggled, but she could not break free.
Chen Jue sensed her resistance and felt a little upset. However, he suppressed his emotions and said gently, "Maybe Li Yu is still alive … There's still hope in his heart."
Li Xiao was speechless.
Chen Jue reached out and patted her on the head. "Hmm?"
"Hmm." The little girl nodded silently.
He sat on the chair and rested her chin on his shoulder. He patted the back of her head and hugged her for a while.
He felt the little girl's body soften.
She was such a good child. She was so silly.
She only struggled for a while, but she nestled by his side with peace of mind.
She did not know anything. She did not know why he kissed her or why he hugged her like this, right?
However, he couldn't just hug her and have her with a clear conscience.
