Good luck every time

Since Li Ruyi has made it clear that the people around him are nice and there is no need for the Zhao family to step in, the chief steward will not do thankless tasks.

Li Ruyi was unwilling to become a vassal of the Zhao family from beginning to end, and did not show any interest in Zhao Qi.

Even the chief butler had to admit in his heart that the other person might really have no other ideas and it was just his young master's wishful thinking.

"You're welcome, butler."

Seeing that this topic was about to die out, the butler immediately brought up a new topic.

"I heard that my young master's wound was torn. I wonder how the injury is now?"

Li Ruyi, with a rigorous mindset, also called in Li Er, who had heard the noise and was standing outside.

"Brother Twenty!"

Li Er readily agreed and walked into the house.

The butler had seen him last time, and now he seemed somewhat familiar when he saw him again.

Li Ruyi then turned around and explained to the butler.

"There are differences between men and women. My cousin helped change the medicine for Mr. Zhao's injury. You should ask my cousin about the severity of his injury."

The butler nodded and looked in the direction of Li Er.

Li Er was a little flustered when being looked at by two people like this.

But he quickly calmed down, saluted, and then spoke.

"They are just superficial injuries. Mr. Zhao is weak and exhausted after running all night. He is now asleep."

After saying that, he asked the butler.

"Should you scream?"

The butler looked at Li Er's eager expression and sighed inwardly, wondering how unpopular his own eldest son was!

"No need, the young master hasn't recovered yet, let him rest first!"

The butler was much more straightforward when speaking to Li Er. He was always worried that Li Er would misunderstand him if he was not straightforward enough.

Li Er readily agreed.

Seeing that he didn't show any disappointment, the butler felt a little calmer. At least he wasn't disliked to the point that he wanted to be kicked out immediately.

What he didn't know was that Li Er also felt a little guilty.

After all, a big part of the reason why Zhao Qi howled so miserably was because he was scared by lice.

But there were so many lice that it took him a long time to kill them all.

Li Er retreated, and only Li Ruyi and the butler were left in the room.

This time it was Li Ruyi who started the conversation first.

"Mr. Zhao is most likely infected with lice. He needs to use lice medicine and wash his hair and clothes more often when he returns home."

The steward agreed.

"Miss Li is right. By the way, I've heard that Miss Li's medicine is good. Do you plan to buy some?"

Li Ruyi also wanted to buy medicine, but now the only person in the family who could make medicine was Grandma Ding. The third child did learn a little bit, but she was not interested in those medicines for injuries, only in poisons. Li Ruyi did not want to force her, but she also did not want to let Grandma Ding be too tired.

"We have to wait a while before buying medicine. The prescription was passed down by my master. Now, except for her, no one else can learn it. Even if I want to buy medicine, I don't have the ability."

The butler was very interested in the prescription in Li Ruyi's hand and continued to ask.

"Where's the prescription? Have you ever thought about selling it?"

Li Ruyi wanted to, but those were Grandma Ding's things, why should she sell them?

"To be honest, I don't know the recipe either. I have to get my master's opinion on whether to sell it or not."

As soon as one topic comes to an end, the butler immediately brings up the next one.

"It should, it should."

"It's a coincidence that one of the wound medicines sold by Miss Li fell into our hands. The guards at home used it and found it to be very effective. I know that Master can't make too much by himself, but if you have some in reserve, you can contact me."

This is what Li Ruyi calls a win-win situation, and Li Ruyi naturally would not refuse.

"Of course you can, but it's not easy to make medicine for injuries, so I'm afraid it will take more time."

After talking about this, the butler didn't force her to do anything.

The two of them briefly talked about the situation in the city.

This continued until Zhao Qi woke up.

Actually, Zhao Qi hadn't slept enough, but Li Ruyi had already delayed a lot of things, so there was no rush at the moment. If it were in the inn, she would probably have kicked everyone out by now.

Zhao Qi wanted to sleep a little longer, but as soon as he turned over, Li Erji pulled him up.

"Someone from your family is here to pick you up. I think you should go back first!"

Zhao Qi thought he was dreaming and pretended not to hear anything, but Li Er spoke again.

"Your housekeeper came here in person. I don't know what trouble you have gotten into, but I think if you go back and pretend to be sick, you will probably be able to get away with it."

Zhao Qi was startled by this and quickly sat up.

"Really coming?"

Li Er nodded with sympathy.

Zhao Qi quickly turned over, put on his shoes and walked out.

As soon as he went out, Zhao Mo came out to greet him and put a cloak on him, covering him tightly.

After experiencing everything that happened last night, Zhao Qi felt a little complicated when he saw the cloak again.

He walked past Zhao Mo and went into the living room of the main house. When he looked up, he saw the butler, who had no expression on his face.

The butler was not surprised by Zhao Qi's attitude and stood up and saluted.

In the eyes of the Zhao family's servants, no matter what mistakes Zhao Qi made, he was the master, and the butler could only take him back and had no right to embarrass him.

He spoke respectfully.

"Master, the carriage is ready."

Zhao Qi had not yet achieved his purpose of running out, so he was not in a hurry to go back.

He shook his cloak, picked up a broken stool and sat between the butler and Li Ruyi.

The butler did not sit down but stood aside.

Zhao Qi looked at him, his meaning was self-evident. He asked him to go out and said he had something to say to Li Ruyi.

The butler hesitated for a moment and moved his feet slightly, but in the end he stood still and did not retreat.

Zhao Qi's face did not look good. He knew that the butler was afraid that he would find a chance to run away.

But he didn't think so!

He cleared his throat and glanced at the butler again.

The butler stood with his hands hanging down and turned his head away, not looking at him.

Zhao Qi didn't want to embarrass Li Ruyi in front of her, so after thinking about it, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Li Ruyi.

"I heard that you have two other brothers in your sect?"

Li Ruyi raised her eyebrows.

She thought of all the possibilities for why Zhao Qi came over so late at night, but she never expected that he did it because he found out about her and Han Shian.

Li Ruyi spoke.

"I don't have any senior brothers."

A flash of surprise passed through Zhao Qi's eyes, but he immediately heard Li Ruyi continue to speak.

"According to the rules of our sect, the ranking is calculated according to the time of entry, so he is my junior brother! He is also my sweetheart."

Zhao Qi's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice river in an instant, and he was so cold that he even forgot to breathe.

I don’t know how much time had passed, Zhao Qi just felt that time was terribly long, and his mind started to clear a little.

"What did you say? You are a woman, and you don't know why you should be reserved. You actually mentioned a man directly. You..."

Unable to deal with the depression in his heart, he turned it into vicious verbal attacks on Li Ruyi, as if if Li Ruyi felt pain, he would get what he wanted.

Li Ruyi didn't care. Zhao Qi was not important to her, and Zhao Qi's remarks were even less important.

No matter how harsh his words were, could they be harsher than the rumors in Sanjia Village?

Why should Li Ruyi be distracted by him?

Why should I be angry for him?

Zhao Qi realized that what he said was wrong and fell silent.

But he was not thinking about how to make amends, but waiting for Li Ruyi to refute him so that he could directly confirm Li Ruyi's shameless character.

pity……

"So? I just don't know why I should be so reserved, so what?"

Zhao Qi: ...

"you you……"

Zhao Qi didn't expect Li Ruyi to say that. The words that flashed through his mind disappeared in an instant, and his momentum dropped several levels.

"Don't you ever think about whether that pale-faced scholar can give you a good life? You, you, you... why don't you value yourself?"

Li Ruyi looked at Zhao Qi with a look that said "you seem to be mentally ill".

"I just like him. Why should I care about the future? Just like if you like a woman, would you care whether your fiancée can tolerate her? Would you care whether she is willing to be your concubine? Would you care whether she has her own ideals?"

"You don't care about anything, so why are you questioning me?"

"I like a person and I don't care about anything."

When Zhao Qi listened to Li Ruyi's words, he felt as if his face was torn off and it was burning with pain.

The two people said "I don't care" in two completely different ways.

Zhao Qi didn't care what this "woman's" soul looked like.

Li Ruyi cares most about the other person's soul, not those material things.

Han Shian is more like an anchor in her life. How empty her heart would be without this person!

Li Ruyi couldn't even think about it. If she came back in this life, she would climb up to the roof of the brothel alley alone, sit under the night sky, and look at the stars...

The world is so big, but she can't find a trace of bond, and no one understands her. How lonely she must be.

The Han Shian she likes is that soul.

Just like the girl that Han Shian likes, she is also like this herself.

Even though both parties knew each other's past, and even though Li Ruyi's life in her previous life was not decent enough.

However, what they love is each other, who is the result of all the indecencies.

The good ones and the bad ones, the kind ones and the sharp ones, the stubborn ones and the weak ones...

It's all the part they love.

It is their bond with this world.

What does Zhao Qi know?

What qualifications does he have to question it?

Zhao Qi stood up suddenly and looked at Li Ruyi with a fierce expression.

Li Ruyi rolled her eyes at him in her heart but asked him in a friendly manner.

"Mr. Zhao is going back?"

Zhao Qi felt uncomfortable in his heart. He turned around, opened the door and walked out. The butler bowed to Li Ruyi and followed Zhao Qi out.

After the others left, Li Er stared at their backs and walked into the house.

After making sure that the people had walked very far away and that even with a hundred levels of internal energy he could not hear them talking, he then showed his gloating over Zhao Qi's misfortune.

"I think Zhao Qi has given up on you this time!"

Li Ruyi rolled her eyes. She was not as optimistic as Li Ershi.

Li Er didn't understand at all. Zhao Qi was used to having everything go smoothly, and if a obstacle suddenly appeared, it would be strange if he didn't fight to the death with it.

He was born with the idea that his life should be smooth sailing.

When everything goes well, he may not be able to sense it, but if something goes wrong, it will really occupy his entire mind.

Li Er saw that Li Ruyi was not very excited, so he calmed down a little.

"You don't think Zhao Qi will have to come again?"

Li Ruyi turned around and asked Li Er.
