Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

If it were someone else, Li Chengge's words would be really embarrassing, but unfortunately Li Xuan is not someone else.

Whether he was looking at Zheng or Li Chengge, the look in his phoenix eyes was indifferent, giving people a sense of disdain, "As long as I want, I can know what my brother is thinking."

Li Chengge's face became even darker. He didn't believe that gods and ghosts knew the truth, but he couldn't help but believe in Li Xuan's identity as the national master.

Li Xuan said slowly, "Brother wants to talk to Miss Ye Er about her bedroom. Is she willing to talk to you?"

When he looked at Ye Zhen, his eyes were bright, like many little stars, with patience and tenderness written all over them. Ye Zhen only took one look and then hurriedly closed her eyes, her palms full of sweat.

"I don't want to." She said very bluntly.

Li Chengge's aura was heavy.

Li Xuan'an looked relaxed, as if to say "see, I was right," staring at her smooth forehead and telling her in a gentle voice, "I'm here, you don't have to be afraid."

"Say whatever you want."

Ye Zhen's breathing was slightly condensed, and her hands were clasped tightly together. There was only one feeling in her mind: Is he supporting her?

But then he changed his mind and laughed at himself, how could it be possible? He was just doing it for the face of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.

The cancellation of the engagement ultimately requires Li Chengge's consent, and because of the attic incident, she actually doesn't want to have any more contact with Li Xuan.

After calming down for a moment, she respectfully knelt down to Li Xuan for the first time, but the gentleness on the other's face suddenly disappeared.

Ye Zhen said, "Ye Zhen can get justice from the Second Master, so she has no grievances in her heart and will not complain about the Marquis' Mansion."

"Ye Zhen can solve the problem between me and the general by herself."

After saying this, he felt that he was being a little unkind, "Second Master, thank you so much. Ye Zhen will thank you another day."

She didn't know why she didn't dare to look up at him. She only felt that the naked clothes in front of her eyes seemed to be covered with mist, and the crane feather pattern on the cuffs became cold. She clenched her fists slightly and held her breath.

Li Xuan'an narrowed his eyes slightly, not revealing any emotion, but the aura around him was cold.

She thought she was working for the Marquisate.

She refused her help.

He also promised to thank you for today's maintenance.

The division is very clear, not a bit less.

Li Chengge's expression softened, with a hint of pride on his face, "Someone, take the Second Master back to the West Courtyard to rest."

Li Xuan said coldly, "No need. I'll be waiting in the yard. If you can't handle this matter properly, I don't mind helping you."

Li Chengge choked and was speechless.

Marquis Dingyuan was a king of a different surname and did not have the qualifications to inherit the throne. Without the emperor's bestowal of the title, the marquis's family would become commoners after his father's death. So he conferred the title of General Feihu on him, which in a sense prevented the marquis's family from future decline.

But Li Xuan'an was a legitimate son and also the imperial teacher. Before the clear order to inherit the title was issued, he should have the final say in the Marquis' Mansion.

It's just that Li Xuan'an has been practicing Taoism outside these years and has never asked about the affairs of the mansion. Especially after Ye Rong took over the family, he rarely came back.

What's going on today...are you trying to compete with him for something by using Ye Zhen as an excuse?

Li Chengge saw him sitting in the yard, and the little Taoist boy immediately stepped forward to hold an umbrella for him. He closed his eyes and slowly fingered the rosary in his hand, as if he was instantly in the midst of heaven and earth.

The only one who felt uncomfortable was Li Chengge.

Ye Zhen took two deep breaths, her heart pounding, and hurriedly ordered, "Liuxia, prepare tea for the Second Master."

"No, I'll go myself."

This is her yard. No matter what Li Xuan'an's purpose was, he had helped her many times, but she had never even brought him a cup of tea.

Besides, she didn't want to owe him more.

Li Xuan'an's movements of moving the beads were almost unnoticeable and his eyelids moved slightly. Then he heard the cold voice say to Li Chengge, "General, wait a moment."

"You..." Li Chengge felt angry again when he saw that she was going to pour tea for Li Xuan'an personally.

In the Marquis' Mansion, she had never personally poured tea for anyone except herself.

Before he could stop her, Ye Zhen left a message and went to the tea room.

He was so angry that he looked around and sat down on the small couch in front of her window. Next to him was the thin blanket that she had covered herself with but had not yet tidied up. It was embroidered with four-leaf bamboo, and a faint fragrance lingered in his arms.

Somehow he wanted to touch the blanket.

When Ye Zhen arrived at the tea room, she realized that she didn't know what kind of tea Li Xuan liked to drink. The most popular tea she had was Longjing, and she only had a small box of Biluochun.

"Second Miss, the water is boiling." Liuxia came over with a boiling hot teapot. Seeing that she was still hesitating, she said, "I will ask the little Taoist boy what the Second Master likes to drink."

It would be too deliberate and disrespectful to go out of your way to ask.

"Need not."

Ye Zhen thought about the first time he returned home after he and Ye Xue got married in his previous life. Ye Xue specifically asked him for some Mao Jian tea. Later, he heard from people around her that the Second Master could not drink green tea because it was too cold.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival at that time, and Li Xuan returned home to recuperate.

But if Li Xuan'an couldn't drink it, Ye Xue wouldn't have found out that he liked to drink Maojian. Ye Zhen guessed that it was probably because it was autumn.

Ye Zhen brewed Biluochun tea and added two slices of Astragalus membranaceus.

She came out with tea and saw Li Xuan looking at her from a distance. His eyes were calm, but they made her heart beat unsteadily.

As I got closer, I saw the teardrop mole at the corner of his eye, shimmering with light refracted from the edge of the umbrella, slightly red, like the crabapple blossoming on the tree that day.

Ye Zhen felt a little hot when he looked at her, so she put the tray down on the stone table opposite.

"Please forgive me, Second Master. The Bi Luo Chun I got before the New Year is not as fresh as this year." It was the first time that she felt that her food was not good enough. She didn't know whether it was because he was the national teacher or because she was afraid that it was not suitable for his body.

The little Taoist boy frowned, "Second Master, don't..."

Before she could finish her words, Li Xuan'an pressed her wrist with two fingers. He blinked gently with a smile in his eyes, "It smells better than the ones in my courtyard, and there are ginseng slices. The second young lady is thoughtful."

It would have been better if she hadn't stood so far away.

Seeing that he was not dissatisfied, Ye Zhen felt relieved, "Then, I will go in and talk to the general first, and then I will come back to greet you."

When Li Xuan heard that she was going to greet him, he smiled and said, "Okay."

Ye Zhen heaved a sigh of relief as she turned around. Liuxia followed her up the stairs and said in disbelief, "Miss, the Second Master can laugh."

Ye Zhen paused, quickly stopped herself from turning back, took a deep breath and went into the house.

But Li Chengge was clutching his thin blanket tightly in his hand, gritting his teeth, looking as if he wanted to crush it to pieces.

She frowned and cursed in her heart, "You're sick."

Then he sat far away at the round table outside, with a cold face, "I have made my words very clear. After today's chaos, I wonder how the general plans to end it."

Li Chengge frowned, but he didn't get angry because Li Xuan was outside. "You volunteered to be my concubine. You want to cancel the engagement because I favor someone else. Even princesses in this dynasty have never had such a precedent."

"If I were a princess, would the general dare to cheat in my house?"

Li Chengge choked, and then heard her say resolutely, "Eldest sister's people didn't drown Ye Xue the first time, and she even took the risk of poisoning Ye Xue when she was dying. In comparison, I took the initiative to give up my position to Ye Xue, but the general still wanted to entangle with her."

"You can't want to be happy and respectable at the same time, and you still want me to cover up for you. General, you are too greedy."

Ye Zhen's expression was icy, "Except for breaking off the engagement, there is no other option for the general and I."

Only at this moment did Li Chengge have to believe that she was not trying to attract his attention by these means, nor was she trying to force him to do anything, she just really didn't want to be by his side anymore.

"Rong'er has passed away. No matter how important it is, the most important thing is to let her rest in peace."

He grabbed the blanket and subconsciously wanted to take a deep sniff of the smell, but suddenly remembered that Ye Zhen was still in front of him. His movements froze in the middle, and a sly look flashed in his eyes. "You hate this general, but Rong'er has done nothing wrong to you. She even schemed against me for you."

"There is no one in the Marquis' Mansion to take care of the funeral. If you take care of this, I will agree to cancel the engagement."

"Otherwise, I will use your jealousy as an excuse and divorce you, making you suffer a nightmare for the rest of your life."

Ye Zhen's pupils trembled, and she looked at him silently for a while before speaking, "Okay, General, you must keep your word."
