Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Ye Zhen only had experience and ways to deal with suffering and difficulties, so she was very upset now and didn't know how to quickly calm down and face him.

In this life, from the moment Li Xuan broke into the room and force-fed her medicine, to now when he silently saved Jing Lan and ended the pain of them being manipulated by the Cui family, the many times of warmth and protection accumulated to this point finally made her panic.

What responsibility, what destiny is connected, what for the Marquis's Mansion, what gratitude for the friendship of the father... none of them make sense.

If you just want to be responsible, then it's okay if you can't marry her but just win her over with benefits.

Their fates are connected, so if he could find a way to get her to practice Taoism in the Qing Sect, he could avoid many disasters and prevent her from ruining his reputation.

For the sake of the Marquis' Mansion, he should help Li Chengge keep himself.

The friendship between their fathers should have trapped her in Dingyuan Marquis Mansion and made her work hard for the Li family all her life.

He said that he would not interfere in state affairs, but he set up a trap to lure Feng Ting out, and quietly caught Cui's fatal handle, uprooting her from the quagmire.

Ye Zhen has never been a loved and dreamy little girl. She understands the evil of human nature and the cruelty of the world. If there was something in her that could benefit Li Xuan, she would not be so afraid to face it at this moment.

If her hand could penetrate her chest, she would definitely strangle her restless heart.

Seeing that she looked unhappy, Li Xuan was about to tear the handkerchief into pieces, but he immediately stopped the joking look in his eyes, reached out and covered the back of her hand to stop her pushing.

Ye Zhen's body tensed up, and her fingers seemed to freeze in an instant.

As if he had been punched, he hurriedly sorted out his messy thoughts and said, "I don't feel bad. The Cui family is not wronged, and my father is not wronged either."

"If it weren't for the Second Master, I don't know when I would have been able to find out about this."

She stared at Li Xuan'an's bony fingers, and felt the warmth of his palms seeping into her heart little by little, soothing the resentment that she had hidden for many years.

The wall of her heart, which she thought was indestructible, became like an ice cube under the sun under his touch. It did not shrink, but was melted by water all around it.

Li Xuan'an was worried about her discomfort just now, but now he breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace, and changed his tone to a relaxed one, "Second Miss, do you regret not being able to send them to hell yourself?"

Ye Zhen's eyelashes twitched. This was more than once that he had easily seen through her thoughts. She couldn't help but wonder, how could such a kind-hearted deity say such terrifying words?

But this kind of Li Xuan is very real.

Ye Zhen shook her head. "I just feel that I have been so grateful to you, Master, and I don't know how to repay you."

After saying this, he laughed at himself and said, "It seems like I have been saying this all the time, but I haven't done anything."

The Second Master was famous, but he wasn't profit-seeking. She didn't understand him like Meng Qianru did, who would either show up with medicine to treat his injuries or generously provide him with porridge when he needed it, to solve the problem for the many people who came to ask for divination. She had no way of making up for this gap.

I receive a favor from someone but cannot repay it in the same way.

The light was cut into pieces by the creepers, leaking in through the gaps, and scattered on the two people. Li Xuan'an was much taller than Ye Zhen, and he would bend over involuntarily when standing together. At this time, his chin was about to touch the top of her head. Ye Zhen lowered her eyes and stared at their folded hands, and even her hair was indescribably soft.

Li Xuan'an's breath fell from his nose, easily affecting her heartbeat, "You've done such a big favor, you should thank me properly."

"Not as good as..."

Ye Zhen subconsciously tensed up, and suddenly she heard the door open. Ye Jinglan came out after drinking the medicine and asked impatiently, "Sister, can you help the Imperial Master embroider a few hand towels?"

Like a quiet garden startled by a puppy, Ye Zhen and Li Xuan'an were like butterflies flapping their wings to escape. One was forced to let go, and the other quickly took a few steps back. Both of them took deep breaths, their ears reddened.

No matter how dumb Ye Jinglan was, he realized that the atmosphere was not right. He suddenly remembered that he had just seen the two of them leaning against each other...

This kid is really stupid. Even at this point, he still thought that the Imperial Master had already told his sister about this? He had no doubt that he showed up at the wrong time.

Li Xuan felt a little regretful. If he hadn't had a good cultivation level, it would have been possible for him to overturn the table right now.

He touched the sweat beads on the tip of his nose with his fingers and said, "I have so few sweat towels. If the second lady is willing to help, it would be great."

A sweat towel is a close-fitting item, no less important than women's undergarments.

Li Xuan felt that she would definitely hesitate, and even refuse for his own sake.

However, Ye Zhen said nothing, only saying, "I wonder what colors and patterns Second Master likes? I'll pick some out, and you pick a few you like."

Li Xuan'an's eyes sparkled with surprise, "I like whatever the Second Miss does."

The voice was low and seductive. The blush on Ye Zhen's ears finally faded away, but her cheeks began to feel hot again.

Ye Jinglan came over and said, "Sister, your face is red from the sun, come over here to the shade."

Ye Zhen once again felt that she could no longer keep this brother.

Ye Jinglan didn't know what had just happened, and enthusiastically invited Li Xuan to stay for dinner. Li Xuan smiled faintly, "I still have to go to the palace. Besides, if Dean Ye sees that I don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat."

Ye Zhen felt relieved, "I'll take you there, Second Master."

"Okay." Li Xuan'an even walked briskly.

The two of them were walking one in front and one behind, with a distance of only half a step between them. Their sleeves would touch each other when they fluttered. Ye Zhen would hide in the past, but now she would stare at them all the way, and if she found that they didn't touch each other, she would subconsciously walk forward.

I have never felt that the road from the inner courtyard to the front door is so short.

Li Xuan came out and saw the food box in Yun Zhui's hand.

"Second Master, Miss Liuxia made some date cakes and she insisted that I take some back with me."

Li Xuan'an turned his head to look at Ye Zhen, "Miss Liuxia? How can I accept you for no reason?"

Ye Zhen knew he was doing it on purpose, so she said in a gentle voice, "I saw Second Master like date cakes in the Marquis' Mansion before, and today is a rare opportunity. Yes, I'll ask Liuxia to bring some back for Second Master."

Li Xuan got the answer he wanted, and the corners of his lips curved slightly, and he said in a long tone, "Oh, it was prepared by the Second Miss for me."

Ye Zhen lowered her head even lower.

"I'm leaving now."

"Second Master, take care."

Li Xuan turned and walked down the stairs. Only then did Ye Zhen dare to look directly at his back. He was as tall and straight as a green pine and as elegant as jade.

She had never realized that a person's back could be so beautiful, and she was fascinated by it for a moment. Unexpectedly, he turned around again, and suddenly their eyes met. Ye Zhen had no time to get rid of this excessive look.

Li Xuan'an's Adam's apple moved, and he pinched his fingers before speaking slowly, "Excuse me, how many days will it take to repair the collar?"

"I don't mean to rush you. I just want someone to come and get it when the time comes."

Ye Zhen didn't know what was going on in her head, she said, "Fix it, I'll send it to Second Master."

Li Xuan nodded calmly, "This is better, no need to rely on others."

Ye Zhen sent the people away and hurried back to her room to drink two cups of tea before she calmed down. Yu Lu said that the master and the mistress had a big fight and even things in the house were broken, and asked her if she wanted to go over and persuade them.

Ye Zhen didn't even raise her eyelids. "I'm just a pawn. How can I persuade them? Don't bother."

"Liuxia, bring the silk thread box."

She remembered that there was also an apple green and white silk thread, which was perfect for making a peace locket.
