Slowly Deep Love

Yue Weiwei was about to stand up when Li Hengtu started talking: "It's been a pleasure chatting with you. I'm also very relaxed. I hope there will be more opportunities in the future!"

She was stunned, looking at him, not knowing what to say, so she just sat there with her head down.

"It's her good luck that the third sister can meet you. You understand her!"

She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her again. He had handsome features, a clear mind and was very manly.

And he was staring at the person in front of him, he couldn’t get enough of it!

Yue Weiwei felt something was wrong, so she looked away, looked at Li Hengying's room, and said, "I'll go see my third sister!"

When she stood up, the corners of her clothes got tangled in the short dead branches beside her and she couldn't get up.

Yue Weiwei was just about to squat down to adjust her long, fussy skirt when Li Hengtu walked over, squatted at her feet, and broke off some dead branches for her.

Her blue skirt was light and beautiful, covering her feet. After being scented, the clothes exuded a faint lilac fragrance, fresh and moving.

This fragrance often lingers in his dreams. Since the first time he saw her, Li Hengtu has been attracted by this fragrance. Every time he smells it, he thinks she is coming.

He even planted a large bunch of lilac flowers in the courtyard where he lived. When the flowers bloomed, the fragrance filled the general's mansion.

A strong desire arose in his heart, hoping that time would stop here, so that they could stay so close to each other forever, and the scent of lilac flowers would linger around them and never dissipate.

He deliberately slowed down and carefully untied the hem of his skirt that was tangled around the dead branches.

A few tender leaves floated down from the sky, and one of them landed lightly on Li Hengtu's shoulder. Yue Weiwei wanted to reach out and brush it off for him.

No matter how slow he was, there was still a time to untie it. Just as he was about to stand up reluctantly, he moved and Yue Weiwei accidentally touched his cheek with her hand.

Her hand shrank back as if she had been electrocuted.

He squatted there, forgetting to get up. The touch of the skin at that moment ran through his body like an electric current, and he couldn't stop.

His face was burning and a little red, and his hand was placed beside Yue Weiwei's leg, but he couldn't touch it.

Yue Weiwei was a modern woman after all. She was a little embarrassed, but thought it was just a coincidence and there was nothing wrong with it. She said, "Mr. Li, I'm so sorry to have to trouble you for help!"

These words eased Li Hengtu's mood. He stood up and faced Li Hengying's room without looking at her. He was afraid that she would see his shy face.

Yue Weiwei didn't stay and walked straight over. Li Hengtu followed her. The wind blew on his cheeks, gradually waking him up.

Yue Weiwei gently pushed open the door. Li Hengying was still sleeping soundly, so she tiptoed out and waved to Li Hengtu. The two of them returned quietly the same way they had come.

When they returned to the table, Li Hengtu broke the silence and said, "Just now I was very careful to help you untie the hem of your skirt, but the dead branches were hard and some burrs got stuck into the hem of your skirt. There are some pinholes on this dress. Remember to change it."

Yue Weiwei lowered his head to look at the tangled piece of clothing and said, "It's not noticeable now, so it's okay!"

Her carefree behavior was so attractive that Li Hengtu couldn't help but steal a glance at her again.

At this time, two stewards from the Grand Marshal's Mansion and the General's Mansion came over with a group of maids and servants.

Uncle Wang saw Yue Weiwei and hurried over to greet her. He then pointed at the maids and said, "These are the maids and servants transferred from the two mansions. They will serve here in the next few days. Madam Ming, just order them around. If there is a shortage of manpower, please let me know at any time."

Yue Weiwei looked over and saw more than ten people. She quickly said, "That's enough, Uncle Wang, you're too polite!"

Another housekeeper reported to Li Hengtu: "Sir, the general's mansion has been properly arranged. Those who disturbed the peace around Fanghua Garden have been settled. Do you have any other arrangements?"

"Add a few more guards and station them inside and outside the courtyard, especially at the entrance of Fanghua Garden. No outsiders are allowed to enter." Li Hengtu's voice was sonorous and loud, and the butler nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Uncle Wang went on to say, "I am deeply disturbed by the disturbance of the peace of the General's Mansion. I have been coming and going frequently these past few days. Fortunately, I have someone to look after me."

"Before I was born, my uncle asked for permission to open the Qin Gu Gate to facilitate travel between the two mansions. My mother often told me that she gave birth to me late at night, and my uncle and aunt brought a group of people from the Qin Gu Gate to ensure the safety of mother and child. Whenever she talked about this, she would tear up and be grateful! Uncle Wang was also there at that time!" After Li Hengtu finished speaking, he bowed to Uncle Wang.

Uncle Wang smiled, stepped forward and held his arms, saying, "How dare I! Master Li, please forgive me. This is all part of my job. Why do you need to perform such a grand ceremony?"

"Uncle Wang, as a junior, I should give you this gift, you deserve it!" Li Hengtu said sincerely.

Uncle Wang shook his head and said, "That night was a close call. No one expected you to come in the middle of the night. It was the Taiwei's wife who planned well and placed the midwife in the mansion a few days in advance."

"Uncle Wang, you are absolutely right! My mother also mentioned this to me, and she is very grateful to my aunt! She even teased me, saying that I don't know how to adjust the time." As Li Hengan spoke, he lowered his head in shame and chuckled softly.

"Giving birth is dangerous. If you are fully prepared, you will be safe!" After Uncle Wang finished speaking, he turned to the maid behind him and ordered, "You are in the General's Mansion. Everything must be done according to the rules of the General's Mansion. You must not overstep the boundaries. You must stay in Fanghua Garden without special reasons. You cannot wander around and break the rules!"

"Yes! I obey your orders!"

Uncle Wang turned to Li Hengtu and asked respectfully, "Mr. Li, is this arrangement appropriate?"

"Uncle Wang is an old man, and he is always thoughtful in his work. Let's arrange it this way." After he finished speaking, he said to the housekeeper of the general's mansion: "Uncle Liu, these people are new to the general's mansion and are unfamiliar with everything. Thank you for your concern!"

Liu Bo said quickly, "Master, you don't have to worry. I will take them to get familiar with Fanghua Garden first."

At this time, Qianyin poked her head out from the crowd. When Yue Weiwei saw her, she called out "Qianyin". She came over in a hurry and said, "Mrs. Ming, how is the Third Miss?"

"The imperial physician examined him and prescribed some medicine. He fell asleep right after taking the medicine and is sleeping soundly now! Don't worry!" She grabbed Qianyin's hand and quickly comforted her.

"Qianyin, from now on, you will live in Fanghuayuan and stay by your third sister's side all the time." Li Hengtu said.

Qianyin nodded and followed the large group led by the housekeeper.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and Yue Weiwei looked at the head of the general's mansion and felt admiration in her heart.
