Mud people

For some reason, Meng Xi looked at it and suddenly froze.

"This is... what?" Meng Xi stuttered, still startling Shen Silai.

"It's none of your business." Shen Rulai was slightly annoyed, took the clay figurine, and left.

In fact, Shen Shilai himself didn't know the origin of this clay figurine, and he couldn't remember when and who brought it home.Just as long as I can remember, it has always been with me.

That night, neither Meng Xi nor Shen Xilai slept well.

When Shen Si woke up the next day, he unexpectedly saw Meng Xi messing around in the kitchen.

After a while, Meng Xi was already sweating profusely when she brought a bowl of things to Shen Rulai.

"This is..." Shen Rulai frowned slightly as he looked at the liquid of unknown color in the bowl.

"Green plum soup." Meng Xi smiled mischievously, "Although I've never cooked before, I see cooks doing this all the time, so I'll make you a bowl just like a gourd. Do you want to try it?"

Shen Xilai was helpless, but he really took a sip, "Well, not bad."

"Really?" Meng Xi was overjoyed, she didn't expect to have such a talent, "I'll have a taste too."

"No need," Shen Xilai removed the bowl calmly, "In the future, it's better not to do it."

"Why?"

"It's past the time to eat green plum soup." Shen Rulai avoided Meng Xi's gaze.

"That's right," Meng Xi thought for a while before giving up, "I've also brewed the drunken spring smoke and buried it under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in your small courtyard. Next summer, I can open the altar and drink it."

"Thank you." Shen Xilai nodded.

"Where is it, I should thank you. You didn't count our holidays before, and you gave me kindness and resentment for allowing me to live in your house. I am grateful." Meng Xi rubbed her hands and said with a smile.

"It's okay, this house is so big, and there are few servants. I live alone, and it's too quiet. There are many people, and it's more lively." Shen Xilai smiled irrefutably.

Shen Xilai felt that since Meng Xi saw the clay figurine yesterday, his whole person has changed a lot.

A year later, Shen Rulai was promoted to an official position and was given a marriage with Liu Yue, the daughter of the Liu family.

When Shen Si went back and forth to the mansion, his expression was extremely cold, and the servants all muttered to themselves, seeing him, they couldn't help backing away.

Stepping into the front hall, one could see Meng Xi also sitting with a cold face, without saying a word.

Shen Rulai was extremely annoyed, he was the one who caused so much trouble, yet he still had such an attitude.

"Why did you go to the Liu Mansion to make a fuss? Do you know who Liu Xiang is?" Shen Rulai frowned tightly, with a stern expression, "Shangzhu Kingdom, a second-rank official. It's someone you and I can provoke ? Besides, his family has no grievances or enmities with you, so why do you have to go to his house to make a fuss!"

"Why did I make a fuss?" Meng Xi's usual playful face showed no smile at all, "Then why did you get engaged to Liu Yue?"

"How can I disobey the Holy Majesty's will?" Shen Silai was very annoyed, and he endured it so as not to lose the courtesy of a gentleman, "Besides, Liu Zhuguo is willing to marry me, and it will also give us another backing, and we will no longer be slaughtered by others. What's wrong with getting married to his family?"

"I just think he's not going well," Meng Xi stood up angrily, the table shook a few times, and she forcibly suppressed the words that came to her lips. "Either you cancel this marriage. Or, you hand me over to the government right now, and let them torture me. Otherwise, as long as I am still alive, I will make trouble in the Liu residence."

"You..." Shen Rulai clenched his hands tightly, trembling uncontrollably.

Later, it was Shen Silai, a gentleman who grew up and did the most rude thing.

He threw Meng Xi's luggage outside the house and told him to leave.

Meng Xi looked at him and was stunned. After a long time, he turned and left. When he reached the door, he looked back at Shen Rulai's eyes, which turned red.

He still left, but finally scolded Shen Rulai, "Dead monk."
