Embarrassing for the bride

Chapter 26

It has been a while since Wu Jili came to Wen's house as a teacher. At first, everyone was holding a wait-and-see attitude, wanting to see when he, the teacher, would be scared away, but they didn't expect that Ah Qin, who doesn't like reading, would be taught by Wu Jili. The environment has improved a lot, and even the people have become much quieter and calmer.

Yuzhi didn't realize it at first, but when the whole family had dinner together, Mrs. Tai smiled and said that Aqin had behaved a lot now, which caught her attention.

After returning, Wen Zhaoling suddenly asked her, "Have you seen Ji Li recently?"

Yuzhi froze for a moment, then shook her head, "No, what's the matter?"

Wen Zhaoling frowned, "I'm worried that Ah Qin's change is due to Ji Li."

Yuzhi thought for a while, then suddenly understood, and looked at him in surprise, "Could it be that you are doing Aqin to Ji Li..."

Wen Zhaoling pursed her lips, and frowned even tighter, "Aqin didn't have much contact with men, and it was the time when she first fell in love, and Ji Li was young, and she was born with an elegant demeanor. It's really hard to say whether this is the reason. .”

Yuzhi only thought that he felt that the identities of the two were not a good match, but he didn't know that the reason for Wen Zhaoling's worry also included Ji Li's real identity.

That night, both of them were a little worried when they went to bed.

The next day Yuzhi asked An Zheng to go back to Boyuju. After thinking about it, she turned around and asked Que Ya'er to lead her to Xiyuan. The reason why she asked Que Ya'er to lead the way was because she didn't know the way anymore.

When they arrived at the place, Yuzhi told Que Yaer to wait outside the yard, and walked in by herself.As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard Ah Qin's voice, so gentle that it could melt water: "Brother Ji Li, do you think my handwriting has improved?"

Yuzhi was so frightened by the sound of "Brother Ji Li" that she didn't move for a long time, and stopped in her steps.After thinking about it for a while, she thought it would be better to leave, but when she turned around, she saw Mrs. Wen standing behind her, which shocked her immediately.

Mrs. Wen glanced at her blankly, then turned and walked out, Yu Zhi had to follow behind her.

Outside, Mrs. Wen said to Fuqin beside the courtyard gate: "You take Magpie Yaer and go further, I have something to say to Yuzhi."

Fu Qin agreed and led Que Ya'er away.Suddenly there were only mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, Yuzhi suddenly became nervous.

"Yuzhi," Mrs. Wen called her, "what do you see?"

Yuzhi thought for a while, but she didn't understand, "What does mother's words mean?"

"I'm asking you between Ah Qin and Ji Li, what can you see?"

Yuzhi didn't dare to answer rashly, so she had to cover it up and replied: "Yuzhi... I don't understand."

Mrs. Wen glanced at her, and said lightly: "The two of them must never be together. I know that Ji Li was recommended by you. You have known him since childhood, so it is easy to talk. Find a chance to let him go out of the house." go."

Yuzhi was stunned, "Mother, it's just a suspicion now, maybe Aqin doesn't have that kind of thought for Ji Li."

Mrs. Wen was unmoved, "Then you can prove to me that Ah Qin doesn't have that kind of heart. If she does, you still have to ask Ji Li to leave."

Yuzhi lowered her eyes and hesitated.

"Yuzhi, you should understand that I'm not targeting Ji Li, I'm just worried."

Mrs. Wen sighed, turned and left.Yuzhi raised her head to look at her back, and suddenly felt that what she said just now was full of helplessness, which made people feel a little worried.

I was listless and wanted to go to Boyuju, but unfortunately I didn't know the way again.Que Ya'er didn't know where Fuqin took her, and she hasn't seen anyone until now.Yuzhi had no choice but to follow the path that Wen Zhaoling walked that day, and continue to walk according to the impression, and she was relieved when she saw the familiar clump of hibiscus flowers.

The hibiscus bush bloomed more and more beautifully. Yuzhi looked at the flower and suddenly remembered Wen Zhaoling's words. She blushed unconsciously and was about to leave when she put her arms around her from behind and said with a smile: "My lady is waiting for you!" The flower folder appeared?"

Yuzhi struggled, but did not break free, and said angrily: "Isn't the flower-folder a flower-picker?"

Wen Zhaoling was stunned behind her, and laughed twice: "That's right."

Yuzhi asked him a little strangely: "Why are you here?"

"I'm afraid you don't know the way, so I came here specially to find you."

"How do you know that I don't know the way?" Yuzhi coughed unnaturally when she said this, "I, I just don't come here often, and I know it when I travel a lot."

Wen Zhaoling smirked behind her: "Yes, yes, you know."

Yuzhi moved her body again, "Let go, it won't be good to be seen by others."

After hearing this, Wen Zhaoling let go of her hand, walked up to her and looked at her expression, "Why have you always been lukewarm to me recently, Yuzhi, did I offend you somewhere?"

Yuzhi avoided his gaze and shook her head, "No, I was just thinking about Aqin."

Seeing that she avoided the topic, Wen Zhaoling could only follow her words: "What's wrong with Ah Qin?"

"Aqin seems to...really have some thoughts about Ji Li."

Wen Zhaoling frowned again, "Then what are you worried about?"

Yuzhi looked at him, "I saw my mother just now, and she told me to persuade Ji Li to leave the house."

Wen Zhaoling really didn't expect his mother to act so soon, but it was understandable for her to do so. Now, before the matter is not serious, it's better to stop Ah Qin's thoughts.He looked at the frowning Yuzhi in front of him, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Of course we need to find out what Ah Qin is thinking. If she is really interested in Ji Li, then...then I have no choice but to ask Ji Li to leave the house." She sighed, "I don't want that, Ji Li It's rare for Li to settle down, and Aunt Wu can feel better, but she never wanted to ignore Ah Qin."

Wen Zhaoling shook her hand, "Then I'll ask Ah Qin."

Yuzhi raised her head in surprise, "You?" She thought for a while, but shook her head, "Although you are her elder brother, you are a man after all. How dare she, a little girl, have the nerve to tell you this? Let me ask her."

Wen Zhaoling felt that what she said made sense, so he nodded, "Okay, then after she finishes school, ask Que Ya'er to call her to Boyuju."

Yuzhi nodded and sighed again.She never expected such a situation.

In the afternoon, Aqin was indeed called to Boyuju.Yuzhi prepared her favorite snacks, and when she saw her enter the door, she warmly invited her to sit down.

When Aqin saw those refreshments, she yelled excitedly, rushed over to hug Yuzhi and said sweetly, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind to me."

Yuzhi smiled unnaturally, feeling that the following words were really difficult to ask.

The two sat for a while, and Yu Zhi finally spoke, "Mmm... Ah Qin, sister-in-law has a question for you."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Ah Qin finished chewing a piece of snack, took a sip of tea, and stared at Yuzhi curiously.

"Well, it's just... Do you think the books taught by your current husband are good?"

"Okay, that's great. I didn't like reading before, but now I like to listen to what he said."

Yuzhi's heart skipped a beat, it really made a lot of sense to say that.

"Then... what do you think of him as a person?"

"I am a better person. I always speak in a gentle manner. No matter what I do, I must first ask other people's thoughts. If I don't want to answer the question, he will never force me. Instead, he will always finish his own words patiently." Make sense, and then let you make up your own mind."

Yu Zhi thought about it, this is indeed Ji Li's advantage, and there is no burden to be with him, because he always puts the other party in a position of respect, and he listens to the other party before speaking.With such a gentle and caring person, it's no wonder that Ah Qin is tempted.

Yu Zhi pondered for a while, and stopped trying to keep her secret, "Aqin, if I have something to say, I'll just say it straight. You... have something to do with Ji Li...?"

Aqin stopped holding the cup, looked at Yuzhi in disbelief, then blushed suspiciously, slowly lowered her hand and put down the cup, bowed her head and said nothing.

Seeing that she was quite certain of her appearance, Yuzhi couldn't help but sighed again: "Aqin, you and Ji Li haven't known each other for long, how could it be so easy..."

Aqin looked up at her, and said in a low voice, "If I knew the reason, I wouldn't be so distressed."

Yuzhi was a little surprised: "What are you worried about?"

Aqin sniffed, "Of course I'm worried whether he likes me or not."

Yuzhi hurriedly looked outside the door, but luckily no one was there. "Aqin, pay attention to what you say, how about being overheard by others?"

Ah Qin lowered her head and remained silent.

Yuzhi didn't say anything for a while, and the two sat opposite each other, both silent.

After a while, Ah Qin suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going back first. If sister-in-law wants to report to mother, then go, I will never deny it."

Yuzhi looked at her in surprise, but she went straight out the door and left.

Who said she was delirious?She clearly knows better than anyone else.

Wen Zhaoling came in from the door, pursed his lips at Yuzhi, and sighed for a while, then turned and entered the room.Yuzhi sat at the table for a while, then got up to look for Wu Jili.

Wu Jili had a residence in Wen's outer courtyard, Yuzhi told him that it was not good for others to know about Aqin, so he followed Que Ya'er there and dismissed her, telling her to come pick her up later.

Wu Jili's small yard was small and tidy. As soon as Yuzhi entered the yard, he saw him reading a book leaning against a tree in the corner of the yard. He didn't know what he saw, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was smiling.

Yuzhi tiptoed over calmly and took a peek at the book. It turned out that what he was reading was not a book, but a copy of the words sandwiched in it. The words on it were not neatly written, and must have been written by A Qin .Yuzhi became more and more worried, and couldn't help saying: "You..."

Wu Jili was taken aback, turned his head to look, and turned from surprise to joy, "Yuzhi? Why are you here?"

Yu Zhi's eyes moved from that word to his face, "Ji Li, do you have feelings for Ah Qin?"

Wu Jili didn't expect her to ask this question, and he was stunned for a while before he realized, "Yuzhi, why are you asking that?"

Yuzhi didn't answer, but just glanced at the writing in his hand again.

Wu Jili understood, and closed the book, "These are indeed Ms. Wen's words, but I have absolutely no ill intentions towards Ms. Wen."

"How can you read her handwriting if you don't care about her? Ji Li, you..." What would she say?Is it impossible for you to do this, or do you still want to cut off this evil relationship as soon as possible?

Wu Jili looked at her expression, and it was difficult to distinguish the expression on her face, "Yuzhi, do you know why I read this word?"

Yuzhi met his gaze, "Why?"

"Because this word is very similar to what you wrote before."

Yuzhi subconsciously retorted that the handwriting she wrote was beautiful, she turned her mind slightly and then froze, looking at Ji Li for no reason, "What... do you mean?" She felt a little trembling at her words.

Wu Jili looked at her deeply, "Yuzhi, I don't know why you came to ask me if I am interested in Miss Wen, but I hope you are asking for yourself."

Yuzhi panicked, and took a step back subconsciously, "Ji, Ji Li, don't talk nonsense, I'm married."

Wu Jili turned his head, "Yes, I know, it's just that I'm always a little unwilling. You and I grew up together, but I watched you marry someone else." He paused, then added with a wry smile: "No , never even saw it."

Yuzhi froze, she didn't know what to say, she came here to persuade Ji Li to leave the house, but now she couldn't say a word.It's not that she didn't feel Ji Li's kindness to her, but she never thought about it in a wrong way. Now that he said it so clearly, she immediately felt at a loss.

Wu Jili turned his head to look at her, the afternoon sun was behind him, Yuzhi looked at him against the light, and felt that his eyes were a little blurred.He looked at her quietly for a while, then suddenly said: "Yuzhi, tell me, what are the four years we have passed together?"
