the next morning.

Li Yan and Li Shen were waiting outside the Dingbei Marquis Mansion early.

At the end of the Mao hour, Ning Jin walked out of the house holding Xie Yu, who was wrapped like a dumpling.

From a distance, he said to Li Yan and Li Shen, "Yu'er has a low-grade fever today, but she insisted on accompanying Shushu to Nanshan Temple, so I had no choice but to carry her out to prevent her from getting tired and having a higher fever."

Li Yan and Li Shen hurried over to ask about Xie Yu's well-being, and didn't think it was inappropriate for Ning Jin to hug Xie Yu.

After a while, Li Shu's carriage drove in from the back door.

But the ones driving the carriage were not the horse slaves, but Qinghong and Shuangjiang.

The seven Jingzhe people followed the carriage on horseback.

After the stools were placed in the carriage under the frost, Ning Jin walked over with Xie Yu in his arms, wanting to put Xie Yu in the carriage first to prevent her from getting cold.

But Shuangjiang stopped him with her hand, "My Lord, please stay. Without Madam's permission, I cannot allow anyone to get on Madam's carriage."

Ning Jin's expression changed immediately.

Does this mean that Shushu already knew that he and Yu'er would also go to Nanshan Temple, and specifically informed her people not to let them get on the carriage?

At this time, Aunt Gui's voice reached his ears.

"Miss, please watch your step. There's a heavy frost today, and the roads are very slippery."

Miss?

Ning Jin's expression changed again.

Then he turned around and saw Li Shu, who was wearing a white fox fur cloak. He was suddenly stunned.

I haven't seen her for just a day or two, how come she has lost so much weight?

The face that used to be round and chubby not only became much more angular, but was almost as big as a palm!

Are you really sick?

Still seriously ill?

He subconsciously wanted to rush over and ask something.

But Xie Yu in his arms spoke up at this moment, "The fox fur cape that sister-in-law is wearing today looks similar to the one I'm wearing. Was it also a gift from Brother Ning?"

After hearing Xie Yu's words, Ning Jin realized that he had never seen the fox fur cloak that Li Shu was wearing today.

Then he noticed that not only was she without makeup today, she also didn't wear any jewelry, only a white velvet flower in her hair. Her excessive plainness made her look cold and stunning, completely different from her previous appearance, but at the same time gave him a sense of familiarity.

But she had never been so plain in the past, so where did that sense of familiarity come from?

"Brother Ning? Why are you ignoring me?"

"I'm not ignoring you, I was just a little distracted. That fox fur coat wasn't given to her by me..."

Ning Jin lowered his head to explain to Xie Yu. Before he finished speaking, he realized from Xie Yu's pale face and the fact that he was not wearing any accessories where the familiar feeling that concerned him came from.

After Yu'er was seriously injured while saving him, she had to lie in bed most of the time every day, so she could only go out with a plain face all day long and had no chance to wear too many accessories.

Could it be that Shushu is imitating Yuer by dressing like this?

She thought he was nice to Yu'er because he liked her simplicity?

Thinking of this, Ning Jin's heartache caused by Li Shu's weight loss instantly disappeared, and was replaced by intense anger.

"Li Shu! What are you doing!"

Li Shu heard the conversation between Xie Yu and Ning Jin.

After all, they usually left the mansion through the south gate.

There is limited space outside the door.

Her carriage was parked very close to the door.

The distance between them is not far.

But she was still confused by Ning Jin's sudden and harsh questioning.

I have no idea what's going on with him.

So she ignored him and said, "Please make way, I'm in a hurry."

"Are you deaf? I'm asking you what you're doing!"

"..."

Li Shu looked at him speechlessly. "I'm walking. I'm asking you to make way for me. Then I'm going to take a carriage to Nanshan Temple. Is that clear enough?"

Ning Jin was irritated by her look that looked like a fool, and his tone became even more aggressive when he spoke again, "I'm asking why you want to dress like Yu'er!"

Li Shu blinked, looked down at herself, then at Xie Yu in Ning Jin's arms, and then she was even more speechless. "I don't know when this kind of dress became exclusive to Xie Yu, and I don't know why you think I'm imitating her by dressing like this."

"Aren't you still suspecting that there's some romantic relationship between Yu'er and me? You think I'm nice to Yu'er because I like a simple and pure girl like her, and you want to imitate her dressing style to attract my attention, so that I won't be so nice to her anymore?"

"Ah."

Li Shu smiled silently.

But at this moment, her naive third brother also spoke, "Xiaoshu, you have loved beauty since you were a child. Even if you don't go out, you will dress yourself beautifully. Even if you don't wear makeup, you will dress beautifully. You have never been so plain. No one will believe you if you say you are not imitating Yu'er, but you don't need to imitate Yu'er. Your brother-in-law really only has Yu'er..."

"Shut up!"

"..."

Li Shen was stunned by what Li Shu drank.

Xiaoshu had never spoken to him like this before!

Li Shu didn't even glance at him. After drinking, she said to Ning Jin, "I told you, I'm in a hurry, so I don't want to waste time talking to you. Either you get out of my carriage now, holding your sweetheart Yu'er, or you can have your men come out and fight with mine, and then get out of my carriage."

"You!" Ning Jin's face instantly turned red with anger. "You are so arrogant, do you think your men are so skilled that they are invincible?"

"Of course not, but they are the ones given to me by the Queen."

"Don't use the Queen to pressure me! The fault is yours, not mine. I believe the Queen won't blame me!"

"So you want a fight before you give way? Then call out your men."

After saying this, Li Shu took a step back.

Jingzhe and the others understood what she meant and walked to the front row and stood in front of her.

They won the fight yesterday.

The momentum at this moment was so strong.

Ning Jin gritted his teeth at the sight.

Forget about asking people to come out and fight them, he even wanted to roll up his sleeves and do it himself!

Then pull Li Yan and Li Shen up!

He just didn't believe that the three of them could not defeat these little girls who were only fourteen or fifteen years old!

But Xie Yu tugged at his collar and whispered, "Brother Ning, please don't be impulsive. I must be talking to you like this because you're holding me. Please put me down quickly. I'll explain everything to you. I'm sure..."

"What's the point of explaining? I was holding you because you had a fever today! She's the only one with dirty thoughts! She's so petty! She's unreasonable!"

"Ning, Brother Ning, please don't be so fierce..."

"Tsk, I'm not targeting you."

Ning Jin lowered his voice and finally moved away while holding Xie Yu. "It's like who doesn't have a carriage! From now on, even if you ask me to ride in your carriage, I won't do it again!"

Li Shu was too lazy to pay any more attention and walked straight towards the carriage.

Anyway, Ning Jin would never have the chance to ride in her carriage again.

Because there was no way she would let Ning Jin ride in her carriage.

And her carriage was also part of her dowry.

After the divorce is successful, she will be taken away.

When she walked to the front of the carriage and stepped onto the stool, Li Yan suddenly spoke, "Xiao Shu, how did you become like this?"
