Chapter 118 Men’s Clothing
Shen Li shook her head, "No."
Today, she and Luo Zhi had to go and interrogate the twelve men who had bullied Zi Yuan, so she had no time to go to the royal enclosure with him.
Shen Beiqi curled his lips, "Are you sure everything is fine? Then can I really leave?"
Shen Li was silent. Actually, asking for a set of clothes was not a big deal. As long as she asked, he would definitely give it to her.
But if she spoke, wouldn't he know that she was seeking revenge for Zi Yuan?
If he knew that she was so cruel...
No, he can't know!
She stood up, still holding the cup of tea in her hand, and bowed, saying, "Then I'll go back to Qinghui Courtyard first."
When she stood up, her body shook. He subconsciously stood up to help her, and the tea spilled all over his blue robe, instantly wetting a large area of his cuffs and chest.
Shen Beiqi looked down at his wet clothes, then looked up at Shen Li.
What exactly is this going to do?
Shen Li cried out softly, "I'm so sorry, brother, I didn't mean it!"
She hurriedly wiped the water stains for him with a handkerchief.
Yue Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the Third Miss's clumsy acting, which was obviously intentional.
Xingping also felt a little speechless. With this level of skill of the girl, was she sure she could hide it from the Duke?
Shen Beiqi couldn't help laughing, and he suppressed the smile on his face. He grabbed her hand that was wiping his chest and said, "It's okay."
"But your robe is wet."
"Yeah." He nodded, "Then...what should I do?"
Shen Li smiled and said, "Otherwise, brother, change your clothes before going out?"
"Change here?"
"What else?" Shen Li wondered, "Do I have to take my clothes with me and go out to change?"
Shen Beiqi's pupils flickered slightly, and he understood a little bit. He turned around and ordered, "Yueyang, go get a set of clothes."
"Yes."
Yueyang was quite fast. He trotted along and in a short while he had taken out a set of clean clothes from inside to outside.
Shen Beiqi loved wearing white when he was young, but now his clothes are mostly green, which makes him look more stable and has a more refined and unworldly aura.
After Yue Yang brought the clothes, Shen Beiqi looked at her steadily, with a deep meaning in his eyes.
Shen Li blinked. Was she seen through?
"……What's wrong?"
Shen Beiqi curled his lips into a smile, his back slightly bent, and whispered, "There's no screen here, do you want to watch me change?"
Shen Li was startled, and then she realized that this was the front hall, and there was no screen or clothes hanger for changing clothes.
“No…No need!”
"No?"
His tone was slightly disappointed, "I thought you were deliberately getting my robe wet so you could watch!"
It starts again! It starts again!
Shen Li shouted silently in her heart, and hurriedly took Xingping out of the house. She stood in the corridor and fanned herself with the back of her hand to try to drive away the heat.
"girl…"
Xingping leaned close to her ear and said in embarrassment, "We are out now, how can we steal?"
Shen Li held her forehead weakly. Why did she seem to have lost her brain every time she was in front of him?
This was the front hall, and she actually did it without even thinking.
"It's a bad idea!" Shen Li gritted her teeth and said, "If it doesn't work, forget it!"
Xingping nodded and said, "Then why don't we go out and buy a set?"
Shen Li: "..."
Yeah, why not go out and buy one?
Instead of going to the nearby place, why did he go to Cuibai Hall to steal one?
When she thought of the man’s clothes, she naturally thought of Shen Beiqi, and didn’t even think of anything else!
You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey!
There were footsteps behind her. Shen Li just turned around and Shen Beiqi stuffed his changed robe into her arms.
"Everyone is responsible for their own actions. Since you made it dirty, wash it clean and return it."
Shen Li held the robe and looked at Shen Beiqi in a daze.
He smiled fondly and pinched her soft cheek, "I really have to go."
She came back to her senses, bowed and said, "...Brother, take care."
"You forgot again."
"what?"
"I am not your brother. Remember to call me Hengzhi when no one is around."
After that, he strode away with Yue Yang, leaving only Xing Ping and Shen Li in the corridor.
"Hengzhi...Shen Hengzhi."
She whispered softly, a smile playing on her lips.
Returning to Qinghui Courtyard, Xingping washed her clothes and sewed the corners of her robe.
It ensures that the clothes can be worn without damaging them, and after the girl has finished wearing them, they can be restored to their original state.
Before going out in the afternoon, Shen Li let her hair down and tied all her black hair behind her head with a hairband.
After changing into Shen Beiqi's dark blue robe with cloud pattern, he looked like a handsome young man.
While no one was paying attention, Shen Li took Luo Zhi out of Qinghui Courtyard, went out through the back door, left the Duke's Mansion, and Luo Zhi drove straight to the abandoned house she mentioned.
After the carriage stopped, Shen Li stuck his head out and took a look.
Although this house is overgrown with weeds and in a dilapidated state, one can still tell that it must have been very magnificent in its heyday.
Luo Zhi had already trampled out a path in the grass. She walked along the path into the yard. The ground was littered with discarded tiles, sand and rocks.
They entered a house that had not collapsed yet. There were more than a dozen people lying on the ground, tied up tightly by Luo Zhi like dumplings, with cloth balls stuffed in their mouths.
When they saw them come in, they kept whining, and some even kowtowed non-stop, trying to beg for a way to survive.
Shen Li recalled that day in the patrol camp, the night was dark and the candlelight was flickering.
A blood-red flower bloomed on the gray-white wall of the hall.
The bright red color was like an extremely sharp dagger that pierced her heart fiercely. Even today, the pain has not subsided in the slightest.
She once secretly vowed in her heart that she would find them all!
Without leaving out a single one, all of them knelt in front of Ziyuan's grave and repented!
Today, she can finally fulfill her promise.
"Luo Zhi."
"Yes, what do you want, sir?"
Shen Li pointed at one of the people who had been kowtowing, "Bring him here, I have something to ask him."
