Slowly Deep Love

There was a plate of date cake on the table.

This was bought by Li Hengtu himself at Chengji Pastry Shop yesterday. He ate a few pieces yesterday and the rest has been left there.

Now his heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out of his throat.

Li Hengtu listened to his own heartbeat, turned around slowly, and thought carefully.

Desire filled his heart, and his eyes swept across the plate of date cakes without any ripples, but the shadow quietly spread in his brain.

He suddenly turned around and looked closely at the date cake.

The scene of the first time I saw Minglu instantly flooded into my mind. At that time, she walked out of Chengji Pastry Shop carrying two bags of date cakes. She was wearing a blue shirt, had beautiful hair, was pure and innocent, and had a graceful figure.

He actually fell in love with eating the glutinous date cake.

Li Hengtu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and blinked. He sat down and thought about how the Taiwei Mansion would distance itself from Minglu and the Ming Mansion.

He looked up at the boy and asked, "Who else did you tell this news to?"

"I am the only one who knows about such a big thing. I immediately thought of you!" The servant's eyes narrowed into slits again.

"Very good!" Li Hengtu stood up, walked to the table, picked up a piece of date cake, took a bite, it was sweet and sticky but not greasy, no wonder Minglu liked it so much.

He turned around and said, "There are quite a few treasures on that shelf. Take a look. If you like any of them, I'll give them to you."

The servant looked over and saw shelves full of antique jade artifacts, which dazzled him.

Li Hengtu looked at him drooling, disgust rising from his heart, and urged him, "Go pick it quickly!"

"Hey! Hey!" The boy smiled awkwardly and agreed with his mouth but did not dare to move his legs.

Li Hengtu walked over, pointed at a finely carved bronze incense burner and said, "How about this one?"

The servant was overjoyed, rubbing his hands together and nodding in agreement: "Mr. Li's house is full of good things! Good things!"

Li Hengtu picked up the incense burner and walked towards the servant. He reached out to take it, but Li Hengtu suddenly raised his arm and put away the incense burner. The servant's smile froze instantly.

"You are the only one who has this information? Don't let anyone come out to steal your credit. There is only one bronze incense burner."

The servant dared not move, but just bent his waist and smiled awkwardly: "Of course, I heard it after the morning training today, and came here without stopping to tell Master Li!"

Li Hengtu went around behind the servant, raised the incense burner, and smashed it hard on the back of his head.

A stream of blood rushed out, he dodged, and the steaming hot blood splashed onto the chair, forming a line.

The boy fell to the ground with his eyes wide open, defenseless and without making a sound.

Li Hengtu walked around the corpse, went out and stood on the steps, calm and composed.

Chaoyang came over immediately when he saw it, and Li Hengtu told him, "I'm going to go find my mother and walk around the garden with her, you clean up."

He turned his head slightly and glanced at the door, and Chaoyang immediately understood what he meant.

After Nanny Li returned to Qingxiang Pavilion, the place became lively.

Yue smiled slightly, and everyone felt relaxed. There was no need to be overly cautious in doing things. In the past two days, even the person who swept the door was very careful, for fear of making any noise and upsetting the master.

Now everything in Qingxiang Pavilion is back to normal, with some laughter and joy being heard, and the guards at the door can't help but look into the yard.

Li Hengying arrived at the right time. The guards saw her from afar and were surprised and happy. They shouted loudly towards the door: "The third young lady is here!"

Yue Weiwei was strolling under the fruit trees in the backyard, accompanied by Qian Yue and Changle.

Nanny Li hurried to the backyard and told them to get ready quickly to welcome the distinguished guest.

Yue Weiwei hurriedly asked, "Madame Li, do you know where the earrings Luo Bo made are now?"

"I haven't left the house recently. It's only been a few days, and I don't know if the jade has been transported to the capital yet." Nanny Li tidied her clothes and said with a smile, "Miss, you look very energetic today!"

Yue Weiwei thought it would be better to wait until Luo Bo finished making it before giving her third sister a surprise, so there was no need to mention it today.

A few people walked quickly to the door and happened to see Li Hengying walking towards them.

At first glance, Yue Weiwei felt that this woman was like Daiyu, weak and graceful like a willow in the wind, with affectionate eyebrows.

The moment she saw Yue Weiwei, surprise flashed in her eyes, but it only paused for a moment, and then she immediately became sick, lowered her head and gasped lightly.

Yue Weiwei's heart suddenly lifted and she stepped over the threshold to help.

"Sister-in-law, Hengying saw you get excited and made a fool of yourself." The voice blew lightly into Yue Weiwei's ears, and she couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Madame Li, quickly bring a chair!" she ordered anxiously.

Madam Li exclaimed, "Look at this old servant's poor memory. I actually forgot such an important thing."

After Changle and Qian Yue greeted everyone, they followed Nanny Li to get chairs, serve tea, and start working.

Qian Yin said with a bit of resentment: "We had prepared a sedan chair for the Third Miss, but she refused to take it. She said she was visiting her sister-in-law, so how could she take a sedan chair? Such nonsense."

Li Hengying was unhappy. She looked at Qianyin with anger and said softly, "You are just talking nonsense. It is because you made me lie down every day and did not let me walk a single step that my body is so weak."

Yue Weiwei was a little embarrassed. No matter what, Third Sister was tired because she came to see her. She could only gently advise her: "Third Sister, it's good to go out for a walk, but in the future, prepare the sedan chair. When you want to go, you can walk. When you are tired, you can sit in the sedan chair. This is called combining work and rest."

Li Hengying smiled and grabbed Yue Weiwei's arm. She regained some energy and said gratefully, "Sister-in-law understands what I want and what I want. The whole Taiwei Mansion always treats me as a patient. I don't want to care about them anymore."

"Third sister, you are a person with ideas. Sit down and talk." Yue Weiwei quickly let her sit down.

Several servants brought a table and set it up. Changle poured tea for the two of them and stepped aside.

Yue Weiwei handed the tea to Li Hengying, and suddenly turned to Qianyin and said, "Miss Qianyin, order someone to bring the sedan chair here now. When we go back, Miss San can ride in the sedan chair to save effort."

Qianyin was very surprised and agreed with a smile.

Li Hengying held her hand and said, "Sister-in-law cares about Hengying the most, do you know that? I miss you so much!"

"We live together, so we will have many opportunities to meet in the future. Third sister, if you have something to do, don't run away by yourself. Send someone to tell me that if you miss me, I will go to Xinyao Pavilion to see you."

She smiled softly, nodded, looked at Qianyin and said, "Take it out quickly, sister-in-law will definitely like it!"

Qianyin brought out a brocade box and placed it on the table. Li Hengying picked it up and pushed it towards Yue Weiwei, saying, "Sister-in-law, this was painted by Hengying. It's a token of my respect. Although this painting is not expensive, it took me several days to get it. After thinking about it yesterday, I felt that sister-in-law is a person who is not conventional. She has a lot of gold, silver, jade and other things. So I thought of this painting and gave it to you as a token of my appreciation."

"Look at what Third Sister said. We are a family and we don't have different opinions. You can think of me, miss me, and come to see me. This is the most precious thing."

Yue Weiwei almost blurted out "You came to see me while you were sick", but suddenly remembered that Li Hengying hated it most when people said she was sick, so she stopped herself.

At this time, she opened the scroll and saw a pink peach tree and a beautiful woman with a profile.
