Chapter 2222: Spring is not too late
Although Madam Ming had many faults in keeping Shi Li, she couldn't really keep her.
In the afternoon, I reluctantly saw her off.
But before leaving, Princess Zhaojia suddenly said, "Mother, please let my third brother see Miss Shi off, otherwise I'm worried about Miss Shi riding the carriage back alone."
It was broad daylight in the capital, and what Princess Zhaojia said was no different from lying with open eyes. But Madam Ming thought it made perfect sense, and immediately had Mingchen called over again.
Shi Li had no time to stop it.
I watched Mrs. Ming lecturing Mingchen.
"You must send Li'er back to the Fang family safely, otherwise I will hold you responsible."
"Yes." Mingchen still looked calm, and it was impossible to tell whether he was willing or not.
But he still rode his horse and followed Shi Li's carriage.
As long as Shi Li lifted the curtain slightly, she could see his handsome figure.
As if sensing something, Mingchen looked at her, their eyes met across the carriage, and he raised his eyebrows again, "What are you looking at?"
"I was wondering why you pretended to be unfamiliar with me just now?" Shi Li didn't hesitate to ask the question directly.
"Mother, did you really not see that?" After seeing the people off, Princess Zhaojia and Madam Ming talked side by side on the way back.
Mrs. Ming gave her a strange look and asked, "What did you see?"
"Third brother treats Miss Shi differently."
Princess Zhaojia stretched out her hand and pressed her temple, feeling a headache. Perhaps it was because Mingchen usually did too well that she was the first person in the family to notice the clues.
Mrs. Ming stopped suddenly. She just hadn't thought about it in this way before.
Now that Princess Zhaojia has broken through this layer of window paper, she finds holes everywhere.
No wonder it was not difficult for her to ask Mingchen to go to Fang's house, and no wonder he came to have dinner on his own initiative today. It turned out that he had an ulterior motive.
"This Mingchen!" Mrs. Ming was so angry that she finally laughed, "I thought he was going to become a monk, but I didn't expect that he had such good taste and fell in love with such a good girl at first sight."
Princess Zhaojia also laughed beside her, "Who said it wasn't true? But it seems that Miss Shi hasn't reacted yet. Third brother also has his moments of frustration."
The mother-in-law and the mother-in-law smiled at each other, both wanting to see Mingchen's fun.
After all, the family is simple and Mingchen is the youngest. He always looks mature and does not bring any joy to the family. This time, he rarely showed a "flaw".
At this time, he was still investigating Mingchen's pretending to be unfamiliar, and his eyes were fixed on the handsome young man riding a horse.
Good-looking people look good in any posture.
After looking for a while, Shi Li became distracted.
Then, a voice of "Cousin Li" brought her back to reality.
From good to bad, it only takes one square jade.
When I looked up, I saw Fang Yu riding a horse towards me, smiling with a mouthful of big white teeth showing.
To be fair, Fang Yu was also very beautiful, but her character was so different that Shi Li could not appreciate her no matter what.
I don't know if it was someone's advice or if I just got it. Fang Yu was not enthusiastic when he saw Ming Chen this time. Instead, he reined in his horse and said to him, "I'm here to pick up my cousin Li. Mr. Ming, please don't worry about it."
This barbed remark is just short of a blatant attempt to drive someone away.
Shi Li became furious when she heard this and wanted to confront Fang Yu as soon as she opened her mouth.
Who would have thought that Mingchen looked at her, then shook his head and said softly: "Don't make things difficult for me, I will go back."
As he spoke, he reined in his horse and bowed to Shi Li on the horse.
The movements were calm, yet revealed a sense of loneliness.
If Shi Li was seven points angry with Fang Yu just now, now it is fully ten points.
But this was on the street, and Mingchen was right. She could only take a deep breath and soften her voice, "Thank you, Brother Mingchen. We'll see you another day."
After being disturbed by Fang Yu's remarks, she forgot to investigate Mingchen's behavior of pretending to be unfamiliar.
Afterwards, after watching Mingchen ride away on horseback, Shi Li's face turned cold and he directly lowered the curtain.
No matter how Fang Yu talked to her outside, she remained silent.
Everything about the Fang family is so annoying!
"Girl, have some tea, don't be angry." Qiu Zi saw all this and immediately handed her a cup of tea.
After returning to Fang's house, Shi Li didn't want to talk to Fang Yu and turned around to go back to her own courtyard. However, she was stopped by the maid next to Old Madam Fang and urged to go visit Old Madam Fang.
Shi Li took another deep breath and felt that she was becoming more and more impatient with all this.
When was the Fang family raided?
