Chapter 98 Li Wan, tryst at night

"Fortunately, my sister-in-law still cares about me, otherwise my stomach would have been rumbling all night tonight."

Qin Zhong saw that Li Gongcai asked the maids to put down their food, and a maid came to refill the tea. At this moment, his heart felt so soft, and he felt an indescribable feeling of happiness.

Li Gong's cutting fan sat down next to him.

She said slowly: "I heard from the maid that Ping'er came back during dinner, but she didn't see you. I also thought that there would be trouble in the east, and I was afraid that it would be difficult to take care of the food, so I asked Suyun to have extra food in the kitchen, just to be prepared."

Although the dishes are cold, the rice is still warm.

Qin Zhong was too hungry and no longer said polite words. He didn't even care about his image and chewed heavily.

Just like this, Li Gongcai was sitting nearby and was fascinated by the scene. It seemed that the scene was extremely warm. When he saw Qin Zhong moving the bowls and chopsticks, he couldn't help but chuckle and remind him.

"Such an adult, no matter how hungry you are, don't be too hasty, or you may choke."

Qin Zhong took a few bites, but temporarily suppressed the frogs in his stomach and slowed down after hearing this. He was not in a hurry at all and wished he could stay with Li Wan all night.

"I want my sister-in-law to stay here with me. Have you left any food? My sister-in-law should also eat some more. You just watch me eat like this, which makes me feel uncomfortable."

Su Yun smiled and said: "We only left two small bowls of rice. The uncle has worked a lot today and has been hungry for so long. He may not have enough to eat. If grandma hadn't been worried that the uncle would look lonely eating alone in the hall.

Bo Lian, we are not here to accompany you."

Li Gongcai Roubo glanced at Suyun with slightly curved eyes, then turned around and explained to Qin Zhong: "Uncle cares so much about Brother Lan, so naturally I have to worry more about him. Feng girl next door also cares about her, but she has many things at hand.

There were so many things to take care of every day. When things came and went, what I originally thought about might not be remembered when things got too busy. Everyone thought that you would eat in the east, so they didn't ask about it.

"

Qin Zhong nodded and made up his mind. He tentatively said: "Sister-in-law, if you don't mind, ask one of the sisters to get a pair of chopsticks and we'll eat while we talk. You just watch me eat. No matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't eat it."

How much? You will still be hungry at night."

After hearing this, Gongcai Li actually cooperated and asked for more chopsticks. After just a few bites, he stopped using his chopsticks.

Qin Zhong smiled and stopped forcing him.

He came and went today. Although he came out of Qinghe Town and even went between Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion by carriage, there was a lot of walking in the mansion. Even if he got on and off the carriage, sitting inside was very tiring.

I went to drink again at noon and didn't eat anything at all.

But Li Wan asked first, "Will Qing Jing return to Qinghe Town tomorrow?"

Qin Zhongdao: "I didn't plan to stay overnight when I went out this time. I thought I would go back this afternoon. Fortunately, I stayed overnight, otherwise I wouldn't have had the chance to have a bite at my sister-in-law's place."

"Did someone in the house mistreat you?" Li Wan laughed and scolded, and asked Qin Zhong not to eat too much meat at night, as he was worried about overeating.

Then he said: "You used to eat at the old lady's place. Today, Feng Yatou summoned you. I, an outsider, kindly left food for you, but you actually arranged for me."

Qin Zhong continued to laugh after hearing this, and even said something slightly outrageous.

"Don't I think about being able to visit my sister-in-law more often? The more we move around, the closer the relationship will be. I also think about my sister-in-law's total focus on Langeer, and I am even more worried that my sister-in-law has neglected her own happiness. Being depressed all day long will not only cause

It affects Lang Ge'er's mentality, and even my sister-in-law herself is unhappy."

Li Wan, courtesy name Gongcai, was the eldest grandson of Rongguo Mansion and the wife of Jia Zhu, the eldest son of the second eldest son of Rongguo Mansion.

She is also the daughter of a famous eunuch in Jinling. Her father's name is Li Shouzhong. She once served as a wine sacrifice for the Imperial Academy. Li Wan was widowed in his youth and lived in a beautiful place. He was like a dead tree and ignored everything. He only cared about his parents and adopted his son.

I just stayed with my sister-in-law and waited for her to recite it.

After Jia Zhu's death, Li Wan devoted all his energy to the cultivation of Jia Lan. She was a feudal lady, a standard chaste woman, and the embodiment of women's virtue and merit.

This is how others evaluate Li Wan, as if Li Wan's life was only related to his deceased husband Jia Zhu, his father Li Shouzhong, and his youngest son Jia Lan.

Qin Zhong felt pity for her. If Li Gongcai really only wanted Jia Lan's fame, that would not be the case, but Qin Zhong knew that Li Wan also had a beautiful yearning for youth.

Although the palace magistrate is always quiet, indifferent, elegant and dignified, his youthful vitality may not be gone.

At least it seems that Li Wan has a lot more colors than before. And this added color is all the credit of Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong couldn't help but feel proud when he thought of this.

He even saw Li Wan looking straight in his eyes, and said sincerely: "Brother Lan's future has never been a problem. I also promise my sister-in-law that Brother Lan will not bury the lintel of the Rong Mansion, nor will it ruin the purity of the Li family.

My sister-in-law should pay more attention to herself in the future. Uncle Zhu is so spiritual that he can’t bear to see how depressed my sister-in-law is."

Gongcai Li stayed quietly for a while, looking at Qin Zhong like this, as if he was seeing a person whose face was gradually blurred in his memory.

That person is trying to persuade her!

[Li Wan's favorability +3, Yangshou increased by 3 days (current favorability: 80)]

The palace judge opened his mouth slightly, and all the years of grievances in his heart suddenly came up.

There is no one who does not want to be happy and at ease. Within this high wall, a pair of widowed mothers cannot live out their own lives, even though they have much care from their elders.

Therefore, what she envied most was the girl next door.

Feng Yatou is quite comfortable. Not only is she loved by the old lady, but as the daughter-in-law of the eldest daughter-in-law, she is also responsible for the affairs of the second eldest daughter-in-law. She is also somewhat independent in everything, and she often does what she wants.

If Uncle Zhu is still here, how can it be Feng Yatou's turn as the head of the second household?

If Uncle Zhu is still here, even if Second Master Lian comes to the throne, she will not be envious of Feng Yatou at all.

Although she doesn't really want a royal title or a house master, Uncle Zhu can still earn it if he doesn't have Zu Yin.

For a moment, her soft brows suddenly became moist. Her eyes were filled with crystal clear water, and two lines of bright and clear tears poured down from her delicate cheeks without makeup.

When Qin Zhong saw this, he immediately became anxious.

He didn't expect that Li Wan would burst into tears. He put down his chopsticks and walked towards her. He didn't know where he took someone's handkerchief from and wanted to wipe Li Wan's tears.

When Li Wan saw Qin Zhong running around in a hurry, he couldn't help but let out a squeak, crying and laughing at the same time.

"What are you wiping?"

After the words fell, she realized that this was too intimate.

In private, a man and a woman alone, an uncle and a widower, still have to keep a close distance.

However, for some reason, for the first time, a different emotion arose in my heart. There was no part of that coquettish and shy look that was fake.

When she saw Qin Zhong's clumsy yet serious look, her heart skipped a beat. She turned her face sideways and let Qin Zhong wipe away the tears on her face with a handkerchief.

A little strange atmosphere arises spontaneously.

The maid Su Yun's face turned pale when she saw this, but she did not dare to say anything. She only whispered urgently and asked Bi Yue to guard the door of the hallway connected to Mrs. Wang's corridor. Su Yun herself pretended not to notice and lowered her head to pass the door of the corridor.

Keep going.

Not mentioning Li Gongcai at the moment, Qin Zhong's thoughts were getting more and more intense. Especially when he saw Li Wan's quiet and elegant face in front of him, his breath gradually became warm.

The passion that Xia Jingui had just stirred up in the east resurfaced again at this moment, even more vigorously.

He boldly took the palace judge's hand and sat down closely, the silk in his hand gently sliding on Li Wan's face.

"I'm talking nonsense. If you don't cry, I will stop wiping it."

Li Wan didn't shed tears because of this. The tears came so strangely that even Li Wan himself didn't understand why his eyes turned red.

But when I heard Qin Zhong say that he should be kind to himself, he couldn't help it.

Perhaps she had suffered too many grievances over the years and had been suppressing them in her heart, but no one had ever told her this!

But when Qin Zhong held his hand, Li Gongzhi got goosebumps all over his body again, and his bones felt as if their marrow had been drained. He blushed again in an instant, and he didn't know whether he should push Qin Zhong away and cursed.

You are so rude and wanton, but you don’t know if you should be held like this?

She felt that it was inappropriate for a man to hold her hand.

Since she came of age, the only men she has been in contact with are Jia Zhu, Baoyu and Langeer.

Jia Zhu was her husband, but she died young. Lan Geer was her own son, and he was also young. Even now, Baoyu occasionally pestered her, and she gradually avoided suspicion when she saw that Baoyu had grown older in the past two years, let alone Qin.

Zhong is a man with a foreign surname who is just acquainted with his wife.

The poems and books she had read since she was a child, and the ethical education she had received, did not say this was okay.

"Uncle, you're going to make the maids laugh." Li Wan said hurriedly, and finally broke away, grabbed the silk from Qin Zhong's hand, and wiped it himself.

After all, she is not a person with Wang Xifeng's temper.

In the past, she thought that Feng Yatou and Qin Zhong were too close, but she never talked about other people's affairs.

Li Wan is not as enthusiastic and enthusiastic as Wang Xifeng, nor is he as bold and bold as Wang Xifeng. She also knows that Feng Yatou has always been very close to Qin Zhong, and she really treats Qin Zhong as a brother.

But she didn't have such thoughts. The more she thought about it, the more polite she became.

Seeing Qin Zhong next to him now made him feel even more uncomfortable, and his thoughts were all racing.

He even had a strange thought that was unspeakable and embarrassing. Unfortunately, no one knew about this thought, only his delicate face became more and more rosy.

My thoughts went around a lot, and finally I came up with something to comfort myself: I also regard him as a brother.

Therefore, Li Wan calmed down a little bit.

Qin Zhong didn't know that so many thoughts would come into her head in the blink of an eye, and she only said: "I care about my sister-in-law, what can they do to make fun of me? Lan Ge'er also attaches great importance to filial piety, and makes his sister-in-law unhappy, Lan Ge
