Chapter 71 Worldly
After Yan Li came off duty from the Yamen of Dali Temple, when he passed by Chang'an Avenue, he found a newly opened dim sum shop, and the plaque at the door was written with three big characters Xuerongzhai.

The clerk in the shop was standing outside the shop to solicit customers, saying that they had hired a pastry chef from the south, and they had newly launched several kinds of southern pastries, which were delicate in taste, sweet and pleasant.

Yan Li was very interested and planned to buy some home for Mrs. Yan and Qi Tanying to taste.

He came out of Xuerongzhai after buying pastries, and his eyes casually fell on the outside of Juxian Teahouse opposite.

Two familiar figures came into his sight, they were his new wife and maidservant.After they came out of the teahouse, they went straight into the carriage parked at the door of the teahouse.

Yan Li stood still, wondering what his wife was doing in the teahouse?Do you have an appointment with someone?

The next moment someone confirmed his conjecture.

Only a moment after the carriage left, a familiar figure appeared at the door of the teahouse.

He knew that person, it was Jiang Zhenyu from the third room of the Jiang family, the boy who had fought with him before.

He looked at the direction the carriage was leaving with a lonely expression, and he didn't look back until the carriage disappeared at the corner of the street.

Yan Li looked at this scene, his eyes darkened, and he stood at the gate of Xuerong Zhai with the pastry for a long time before heading home.

After returning home, he asked people to send the cakes to the main courtyard and Mrs. Yan respectively, turned around and went to the study, and did not pay his respects to Mrs. Yan until it was almost dinner time.

Seeing him coming, Old Madam Yan said: "Your mother-in-law is ill, and A Tan returned to her mother's house in the morning. You should also visit Qi's house."

Mother-in-law is sick?Yan Li frowned, no one told him before.

If the mother-in-law, Madam Qi, was really ill, why would the wife go to Juxian Teahouse to meet Jiang Zhenyu?
He felt very uncomfortable, and looked at Old Madam Yan, "Mom, I'll go to Qi's house, so I won't have dinner with you."

Mrs. Yan urged him to go quickly.

When Yan Li came to Qi's house, Qi Tanying was serving Mrs. Qi to drink medicine.

He glanced at his wife first, and then asked how Madam Qi was doing with concern.Madam Qi managed to pull out a smile, "It's okay, it's just that the wind blows and catches the cold, it will be fine after a few days of recuperation."

But he didn't want to tell him why he really got sick.

After speaking, he said to Qi Tanying: "Jinghe must have not had dinner when he came to the door at this time, you tell the kitchen to make some food for him."

Qi Tanying nodded in response, Madam Qi urged: "Go!"

Qi Tanying tucked the quilt for her mother, then got up and walked out of the house with Yan Li.

The two returned to Qi Tanying's boudoir before she got married. Ting Lan listened to Qi Tanying's orders and went to the kitchen. When she came back, she brought a food box.

There are a few side dishes and two bowls of lean meat porridge in the food box, which is very light.

Qi Tanying frowned, this kind of food was enough for her, and Yan Li could eat enough for a grown man, so she ordered the kitchen to make some food to satisfy her hunger.

Soon, two bowls of rich and delicious mutton noodles were served from the kitchen.The snow-white noodles are neatly stacked in the bowl, with a layer of thin slices of mutton overflowing with marinade, and chopped green onions scattered in the middle, which looks very attractive.

Yan Li didn't have much appetite. The scene outside the Juxian Teahouse in the afternoon made him very concerned. He wanted to ask his wife directly several times, but he swallowed the words again.

He believes that she will not do anything to be sorry for him, but he cannot guarantee that others will not have unreasonable thoughts about her.

If you think too much, you will inevitably feel a little irritable.

Qi Tanying also had something in her heart, about Qi Yukun taking care of prostitutes, Mrs. Qi repeatedly ordered her not to tell Yan Li, so that her brother would not be able to hold her head up in front of her brother-in-law in the future.

She could understand her mother's mood, so she agreed to hide it.

"Husband, you will be on duty tomorrow, so go home and rest first." She said: "Mother is sick, I will stay at Qi's house to take care of her for a few days, and come back when she is well."

Yan Li's eyes darkened upon hearing this, is she driving herself away?
Then he shook his head, "There is no need to detour to the Yamen of Dali Temple from here, and you can sleep for an extra quarter of an hour in the morning."

Qi Tanying was stunned, is he planning to stay?

"But…"

Before she could say what she said later, Yan Li suddenly smiled, "I was joking, mother is worried about mother-in-law's health, I will go back and tell her."

After hearing this, Qi Tanying breathed a sigh of relief, and personally sent her husband to the door.

After Yan Li left, Qi Tanying's expression darkened immediately, "Brother Kun still refuses to eat?"

Ting Lan frowned, "The food brought over was returned intact."

Since yesterday, Qi Yukun has been driven by Mrs. Qi to the Small Buddha Hall to reflect, and by this time there has been no water or rice.

Qi Tanying's face became even uglier. Why, does he still want to threaten her and his mother with a hunger strike?
Qi Tanying went to the Small Buddha Hall with anger, and scolded Qi Yukun head and face.

"Parents who suffer from body, hair and skin, you don't eat or drink to spoil your body, do you still know what filial piety is?"

The person being scolded hung his head and said nothing.

Qi Tanying pulled him up from the futon, "Mother is so angry that you are lying in bed, don't you feel bad at all? I have told you so many truths, but you ignore them? Qi Yukun, let me tell you, if you If you are still obsessed with your obsession and want to associate with Lian Er, don't blame me for doing something irreparable."

"You also know that when the people in the old house in Wuzhou bullied us, in order to protect our home, I dared to fight them with a knife. If Jiang Zhenyu wanted to destroy you and our Qi family, I don't know how what will happen."

"Sister."

Qi Yukun finally raised his head after hearing Jiang Zhenyu's name, "Don't be impulsive, Lian'er is not a bad person."

"Hmph, don't be impulsive?" Qi Tanying sneered, "I can't control you, and you can't control me. If I do something wrong, I will have the government to judge me, but before that, I will definitely let the ruined Whoever killed my brother will pay the price."

Qi Yukun turned pale when he heard the words, "Sister, you..." He stood there with a vain breath, moved his lips a few times, but never said the phrase "You are forcing me".

He knows that she is a person who walks the talk.

He lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.The atmosphere in the Buddhist hall became stagnant.

Qi Tanying waited quietly and patiently for his response, but her palms were wet.

She is betting, she and Lian'er are more important to her younger brother?She is waiting, waiting for her brother to return from his lost journey.

After a long time, she finally heard his answer, "I was wrong."

Qi Tanying fixedly looked at the young man standing in front of her, only to see that the corners of his eyes were red, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly.

The voice was hoarse: "Sister, I was wrong, I... I will listen to you from now on."

Qi Tanying subtly breathed a sigh of relief, look, she won the bet.

She smiled and held her younger brother's hand, "Sister, I know you're feeling uncomfortable, and you'll be fine in a few days. Let's go back and eat something with me."

Time is a good thing, it will help people smooth out the pain in their hearts.

Qi Yukun was pulled by her sister, and followed her out of the small Buddhist hall like a puppet.
