He should have left when they were talking about it, but he hadn't found the right time.
In the end, he didn't know whether to leave or not. He was truly embarrassed.
Because it concerned someone else's family matters, he could only pretend to be stupid.
The meal ended unhappily.
After dinner, Huang Xiu took his leave, agreeing to come back in a few days to teach Yue Er.
Quan Huan feared boredom the most, so he naturally had to get entangled with Yue Er.
Bored, Bell lay on the living room floor, wagging his tail to show that he was there.
But now, Yue Er couldn't see him.
Quan Huan lazily sat on the sofa and watched the anime with Yue'er, casually asking, "Xiao Yue'er, from the looks of it, you seem to like that etiquette teacher quite a bit."
"Yeah, Uncle helped me get through three trials in one go, he's really amazing!" Moreover, he even taught Yue'er a very simple way of learning. Now, Yue'er isn't afraid of those exam questions at all. "
"Really? This was indeed quite amazing. "If I had known earlier that there was such a method, I wouldn't have been scolded because of my poor studies …" Quan Huan curled his lips. He felt wronged when he thought about how he was beaten and scolded because of the exam results.
Yue'er lay comfortably on his lap and smiled. "Third Uncle, so you didn't like to study when you were young?"
"Hmph, it's true that Third Uncle didn't like it, but at that time, he was too popular. He only received love letters and gifts all day, how could he have the time to study?" As he said this, he shook his hair proudly. "Sigh, it's a sin to be too handsome …"
"Uncle, you are bragging again!" Although Third Uncle is very handsome, in Yue'er's heart, her godfather is the most beautiful.
Looking at Yue'er's expression, Quan Huan immediately realized what she was thinking and fiercely said, "If you say that your godfather is more handsome than me, third uncle won't keep you company anymore!"
"Hmph, Third Uncle is really stingy." Yue'er pouted. "Third Uncle, you couldn't have been jealous of your godfather, right?"
Hearing the little girl's words, Quan Huan almost choked on her words. He could only put on a disapproving expression, "Who said that Third Uncle is extremely confident in his own face. He has long been invincible. How can he be jealous?"
"You're short, third uncle, just admit it …"
"I refuse to admit it!"
"The facts are right in front of your eyes …"
"I didn't see it!"
While the two of them were arguing in the living room, Hu Die quietly walked in like a phantom.
He did not know what he did, but he seemed to be sweating a lot.
The foundation of the powder on his face had also been drenched by sweat and looked exceptionally mottled at this moment.
A few strands of hair were still stuck to his forehead, and his body was covered with dust, making him look rather pathetic.
She didn't want anyone to find out that she had snuck back into the room. Unexpectedly, her luck was bad and she ran into this uncle and nephew duo the moment she came back.
He had originally wanted to come back at dinner time, but he didn't expect that the other party's orders wouldn't be so easy to handle. That was why he had delayed it until now. If this uncle and nephew saw that she had returned, they would inevitably ask a few more questions.
So she wanted to duck and slip by when they weren't looking.
Unexpectedly, Bell suddenly became alert, let out a "awoo awoo" sound, and then slowly stood up from the floor.
"Bell, block my view!" Yue'er unhappily kicked Bell. After that, she got up, wanting to find something to eat. Right at that moment, she saw Hu Die, who was bent over and still had her hair hanging down. She was so scared that her face turned pale.
"Ah!" When Quan Huan turned around to look, he also shouted loudly. With the addition of Bell's scream, the living room was in a mess for a moment.
Hu Die's body stiffened. She knew that no matter how she pretended, it was useless. She could only smile awkwardly and stand up, "Sorry, I scared the both of you. It was me …"
"Emma, isn't this Second Sister-in-law? "You gave me a fright." Quan Huan seriously patted his chest before comforting Yue'er.
Yue Er was so scared that her eyes started to tear up. At this moment, she had already withdrawn her usual playful attitude and hid behind his third uncle. Her small mouth curled up as she said, "Wuu wuu, third uncle. Yue Er doesn't want to see this ugly female ghost …" "He's so ugly and yet he's come out to scare people, wuu …"
"Yue'er, be good. I'm fine now. Third Uncle is here! You don't have to be afraid of any monsters or ghosts! " Quan Huan lightly patted Yue'er on the back. He also knew that even though Yue'er was bold enough, she was very afraid of these things.
Although Hu Die was unhappy with Yue Er's scolding, she didn't dare to say anything.
After all, she had something on her mind, and she didn't want to cause any trouble.
However, she did not know that Wu Yujie had already told Quan Jane Li about her every move.
Jian Li, who had been working on the documents in the study, naturally heard the commotion downstairs. She glanced at Yue Yong and said, "Bring her up here."
"It's Grandpa Li!"
Yue Yong secretly broke out in a cold sweat for Hu Die. It seemed like it wouldn't be easy to get over this matter today.
Hu Die was planning to ignore them and quickly return to her bedroom to change. However, she was stopped by Yue Yong, "Miss Die'er, Master Li wants you to go to the study room first."
"I... "I'll go change my clothes first …"
"Master Li wants you to go immediately." Yue Yong repeated himself again.
Hu Die glared at him. How could she wear this dirty one to see Jian Li? Unfortunately, this Yue Yong didn't have any eyes, not even a chance.
However, Yue Yong was the person Jian Li trusted the most, so she didn't dare to reprimand him. He could only follow him into the study room.
"Master Li, Miss Die'er has arrived." Yue Yong stood at the side, but did not leave.
Quan JIngli sat on the chair with a gloomy expression. Her pitch-black eyes coldly swept over her body, taking in her sorry figure.
Hu Die felt the temperature in the study room drop lower and lower, almost to the point that the air was bone-chilling.
His heart was pounding rapidly. Could it be that Jian Li knew about him going out?
But to what extent did he know?
He didn't know where he was going now, right?
If that was the case, then she was finished.
How should he explain himself now?
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he anxiously thought of a way out.
Time passed minute after minute, but Quan Jian Li refused to speak. The more she did so, the more the atmosphere became oppressive, so oppressive that it was suffocating.
Hu Die felt that she was about to faint. She bit her lower lip and even her hands couldn't help but tremble.
Finally, Quan Xiaoling slightly opened her lips. Her ice-cold voice seemed to have been transmitted over from the Arctic Mountain Range. "Where did you go?"
Hu Die's body trembled and her voice couldn't help but tremble. "Go …" "Go out and relax …"
"Dim?" Quan JIngli was still neither hurried nor slowed, but her brows were knit tighter and tighter, "So, you're treating my words as nothing?"
"I... "I did not …" Hu Die still wanted to quibble.
Pow!
Quan Jian Li slammed her palm on the table heavily, scaring her to the point where her legs nearly collapsed, "What did I say at noon!? Who told you to leave the room without permission? "
"I …" Hu Die was confused, her mind was blank, she did not know that someone caught doing something bad would cause such panic, "Jane Li, listen to me, I was just scolded, I felt wronged, and wanted to go out for a walk … I was afraid that if I stayed in my room, I would... "It will …"
"What would he know?" Quan JIngli listened to her and asked coldly.
She trembled as she looked at him, then whispered, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to think about it properly, so I might as well do something stupid …"
Quan Jian's eyes darkened, her tone became more unkind, "Oh? Didn't you wholeheartedly want to marry me? "The day before you married me, you still wanted to get away with it?"
He wouldn't believe it no matter what.
He did not understand this woman's love for him, but he had seen her threaten him with death every time she wanted to marry him.
Now that his wish was fulfilled, he didn't believe that she would choose to do something stupid at this moment.
Because if he did, he would once again postpone the wedding due to her body's discomfort.
And that was what she didn't want to see the most.
"Yes …" Yes! Because for the sake of that slut... That woman was angry with me, and I can't take it. " Hu Die almost said the wrong thing and immediately corrected herself, "Jane Li, I was really angry at the time. I was your wife, so I went crazy and ran out. Don't blame me, okay?"
Quan Jian Li suddenly stood up and walked towards her step by step.
His entire body was exuding a cold and gloomy aura, as if he was a devil from hell, causing people to be unable to breathe.
He walked in front of her with a cold and detached face. He frowned as he looked at her with disdain. "Do you really think I'm so easily tricked by a three year old child?"
"No, Jian Li, I'm not lying to you. What I said was the truth …" Hu Die's tears fell like rain as she tightly held onto his arm, "Jane Li, how could I lie to you? You know that I love you …"
"Is that so?" A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but he didn't pull his arm out. Instead, he lowered his voice and leaned closer to her, "Then tell me, where did the bag you were carrying go? What exactly is inside? "
"Bag?" Hu Die's face turned pale. As expected, the servant still said it.
As his mind raced, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "It's the dress I ordered. They only delivered it at noon. "I took it back and tried it out. I felt that it was inappropriate, so I took it back …"
"Oh? Which store is it from? " Quan Jianli asked unhurriedly.
"Yes …" "It's a random shop I found in the city center. I ordered it when I saw it through the window. I forgot the name of the shop …" Hu Die evaded with her words.
But Quan Jian Li did not let it go, "Really? "Then think about it carefully, where is it located?"
"Location..."
Who would have thought that Jian Li would pursue the matter to the end today?
Where was the shop? Even if she racked her brains, she couldn't think of a shop.
Moreover, even if it was made up, Jian Li might send someone to investigate. When the time came, they would find out that she was lying.
In a moment of desperation, a plan suddenly formed in his mind. He closed his eyes and fell straight onto Quan Jian Li's body.
Seeing the unconscious person in her arms, Quan Jian's eyes became even darker. "Take her back to her room to rest."
"It's Master Li."
Yue Yong walked over and carried her back to his room.
