Chapter 258

He Zheng had dinner here, rested for a while, and then wandered into the yard. It was already dark outside, and there was no one in the yard. When he was about to walk to the pond, he saw Someone was already standing there.

He thought it was Li Yu, and took a few steps forward, but found something was wrong, it was obviously a woman's figure.

He Zheng frowned immediately, and stopped in his tracks. He already sensed that something was wrong.Adhering to the principle that more things are worse than less things, he was about to turn around and leave, but the figure had already called out to him.

"Cousin." He Zheng knew who it was when he heard the voice, he was a little embarrassed, he couldn't go if he wanted to leave, so he had to bite the bullet and turn around and said, "Second cousin, why are you here."

"Didn't my cousin ask you knowingly?" Li Mengdan looked at He Zheng and said, with a somewhat resentful tone.

He Zheng is not stupid, he naturally knows what this cousin thinks about him, but knowing that, he dare not get too close to her. When she saw Li Mengdan coming alone, without even a maid by her side, she regretted that she didn't. He brought a servant girl along with him, he took a few steps back cautiously, and then said: "Second cousin, it's getting late now, you'd better go back earlier, so that uncle and aunt won't worry."

Li Mengdan just looked at He Zheng in a daze, and his tone became more and more resentful, "I know that my cousin is leaving tomorrow, and I feel very sad, so I found a chance to come out to see you..."

Where did He Zheng dare to answer her words, he just pretended not to hear her, and casually said, "I didn't tell my mother when I first came out, if she doesn't see me later, she should be anxious, so I'll go back first." After speaking, he raised his foot. will go.

He Zheng's attitude, if Li Mengdan was a sensible person, she should get away in time, and save some face for each other, but she was a fool at first, and now she was dazzled by the friendship, and ran a few steps away. He blocked He Zheng's way.

He Zheng immediately looked down, and said to Li Mengdan: "What is the second cousin doing?"

Li Mengdan looked up at He Zheng with a sad and shy expression on his face and said, "Cousin is so cruel."

"I don't know where my cousin's words come from?" He Zheng said flatly.

"Cousin, don't you know how I feel about you?"

He Zheng said coldly, "Second cousin be careful! I am innocent with you. Second cousin should be careful when she says this! Otherwise, my majestic man is just a lot of romantic affairs, but if these words come out of your mouth, you will Where do I put my reputation! I dare to swear to God, if I have ever had an affair with my cousin, I will have no hope in the imperial examination for life!"

As soon as He Zheng made the poisonous oath, Li Mengdan was young after all, his head was dazed, his face turned pale, and he murmured, "If you didn't mean anything to me, then why did you accept the clothes, shoes and socks I made..."

"It's my birthday. It's not wrong for my cousins ​​to give me some needles and threads as a birthday present. Not to mention the second cousin, didn't the eldest cousin also give me needles and threads?"

He Zheng said solemnly, "Second cousin, I have the right to pretend that I didn't hear what you said today. You and I are serious relatives, and I am not a scoundrel. Otherwise, your reputation will be ruined, and you will behave in the future. Hurry up." Let's go back!"

After He Zheng finished speaking, he didn't want to talk to Li Mengdan anymore, so he walked around her and walked away.

As soon as He Zheng left, Li Mengdan still stood there blankly with a pale face. After a while, his pale face flushed red with shame and anger, and he asked He Zheng's back as if losing his mind: "Is it because Li Yuanchun, why do you disregard me because you have a crush on her?"

He Zheng paused, but didn't look back, but said in a cold voice: "You don't want to lose face, don't make others think the same as you!" After speaking, he left without stopping.

Now Li Mengdan was so angry that her whole body began to tremble. She ruthlessly tore off a peach branch from the nearby peach tree, broke it in three or five pieces, threw it under her feet, stomped on it a few times, and it was still the same. I can't get over my anger.She hated her cousin's ruthlessness, and hated Li Yuanchun's charming son even more. She felt that if she didn't do something, she would be suffocated to death.

Li Mengdan stood by the pond for a while, let the cool night breeze blow for a while, felt a little better, and then left.

On the other side, He Zheng walked back to his yard without stopping. He walked like flying, as if someone was chasing after him. He didn't know if his cousin had been kicked in the head by a donkey, and she even borrowed someone else to make an appointment. He met in private, and if people saw this, the hat of a private exchange would be solidified, and he would have to marry her if he didn't want to.

In fact, his grandfather's family was very kind to him. When he was not a scholar, his mother talked to him about his cousin, and she seemed to intend to get married, but he never had that kind of thought for his cousin, let alone her cousin. And after getting along for a long time, his cousin is okay, and he doesn't like her cousin's temperament even more, otherwise, even if he is a little bit tempted, for the kindness of his grandfather's family and hints from his grandmother, he will marry his grandmother's family of.But this marriage is a lifetime event. Although He Zheng is not very old, his grandfather's family is kind to him, and he has no affection for his cousin. If he married his cousin like this, it would not be wrong for his cousin.It has to be said that the children of the poor are headed home early.He Zheng is young, but his mood is quite mature.

What Li Mengdan did today made He Zheng's slight brother-sister affection for her disappear. Now he only wants to leave his grandfather's house earlier and leave the place of right and wrong.

"Didn't you say you were going to see Brother Yu? Why did you come back so soon?" Seeing He Zheng who came back in a hurry, He Liu asked a little strangely.

"Oh... Ayu just said goodbye to me. We didn't talk for too long. I have to get up early tomorrow. Mom, I'll go to bed first." He Zheng replied perfunctorily with his head down. He told his mother about what happened on the Internet, and he understood her temperament. If she found out about this matter, she should not make a fuss. One more thing is worse than one less thing. How can they still be subsidized by their grandmother? Unfortunately, for his grandmother's sake, he had to help cover it up.

Seeing her son stepping into the inner room quickly, He Liushi had a look of doubt in her eyes. She always felt that her son was a little weird tonight. It must be something happened when he went out, but they will leave Li's house tomorrow, and she also She wasn't going to delve into it, she had the same idea as her son now, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

The He family's mother and son left at dawn the next day. They left very low-key and did not let the Li family see them off. When Liu got up, she knew that her daughter and grandson had left, and she was still a little sad. She hoped that her grandson would go to school this time. Can have a good result, but disappointed that such a good person can't become the grandson-in-law of their Li family.
