The densely packed tooth marks and slits on your fingers really don’t look good.
Mingzhu was a little nervous and reluctant. But when I looked up at his calm and gentle features, I felt a little bit sorry. After hesitating for a moment, her lips slightly opened and she asked softly: "Is it really itchy?"
The weak candlelight illuminated 's eyes, and the man's facial features were reflected in the black pupils. His eyes were more lively and beautiful than those of a deer in the forest.
Zhao Shi's cold pupils faced his eyes, and his Adam's apple slid twice. His heart softened. After a while, he said, "Actually, it's not that itchy."
Mingzhu's face was lowered, and her hanging hair blocked her profile, making it difficult to see clearly the expression on her face.
Zhao Shi moved his fingers slightly to help tuck the broken hair behind his ears, and it was difficult to take his eyes away from the snowy side of his face.
Mingzhu couldn't ignore the hot gaze, her face heated up uncontrollably, and half of her ears turned red. She turned her face silently, trying to avoid his sight, and said in a bad tone. : "I'm a little thirsty, can you get me a glass of water?"
This way you don't have to stare straight at me.
It makes me feel embarrassed to see it.
Zhao Shi spoke in a low voice: "Okay."
The water in the teapot was still warm. Mingzhu's mouth was dry and she wanted to drink cold water. She frowned when she drank the warm water.
Zhao Shi didn't know why: "What's wrong?"
Mingzhu shook her head and said, "I want to drink something cold."
"Be careful of stomachache."
"I rarely have stomach ache now."
"Did I remember it wrong? Last time it was so painful that I couldn't move in bed?"
This is Mingzhu's old problem. Taking medicine has indeed alleviated it, but it still hurts when it should hurt. I have always been reluctant to treat my mouth badly. In the hot summer weather, I can't help but eat some iced fruit and I can't control my mouth.
It would be better if Zhao Shi was still here, and he could be cured.
If he hadn't been away, the people in the house would no longer dare to interfere with his affairs.
Mingzhu refused to admit: "No."
These two words were said without confidence, and the voice sounded a little hollow.
Zhao Shi smiled softly, with a warm smile in his eyes, and said, "Maybe I really remembered it wrong."
Mingzhu pushed further: "Let us get me some ice cubes."
Zhao Shi raised his eyebrows and scanned his face. He had snow-skinned red lips, plump and delicate, and his complexion was rosy. He opened his lips and said decisively: "There is no ice."
Mingzhu scolded him for being stingy in her heart. She didn't know that there were a lot of ice cubes in the cellar.
said: "Stingy guy."
Zhao Shi felt at ease with the infamy.
After Mingzhu drank the water, she didn't intend to. He continued to pester her, out of sight and out of mind. She was about to leave when she remembered why she came to him. She originally wanted to ask Zhao Shi about what happened last night. Is Mingru related
When the words came to his lips, was too lazy to ask.
If Zhao Shi wanted to say something, he would always tell him.
A few days later, it seemed that a certain husband who wanted to please Mingzhu deliberately brought up the affairs of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion and said that the prince who had caused his life had been deprived of his title.
The Marquis actually kept a concubine here. The concubine was also very capable. She endured it for so many years and gave birth to a son.
The young man was now sixteen. Hearing that he was quite knowledgeable, the Marquis gave him the title of eldest son.
Mingru Shizi's husband's reputation was also taken away, along with some not-so-pleasant rumors.
Mingzhu was in low spirits as she listened to their chat.
"What rumors?"
"Mingru went to the temple a few days ago to pray for her husband, but she met a robber on the way."
"Huh? What a bad luck."
"I also heard that the robbers didn't touch any of the money. They only kidnapped Mingru and released her back the next day."
"Shh, please keep your voices down, this is not a glorious thing."
Everyone was silent, their eyes met, and they changed the topic very knowingly.
Mingru herself said that nothing happened, and the clothes on her clothes were fine and untouched. But how could such a thing be explained clearly? Even having ten mouths cannot explain innocence.
Mingzhu was stunned for a moment after hearing these things, and guessed that these things might have something to do with Zhao Shi.
When he is angry, he is not so easy to fool.
Although Mingzhu was not very conscious that day, she still vaguely remembered that he was full of murderous intent when he came.
…
Perhaps due to the shadow caused by her intention, Mingzhu didn't have much interest in going out for half a month.
There were a few rare guests in the house, all of whom were Zhao Shi's nephews.
The age of seven or eight is the most noisy time. Pampered children all like to run rampant. It was so noisy.
Zhao Shi only allowed them to mess around in the front yard, but not the backyard.
The little bastards were unconvinced: "Why don't you let us go? Uncle doesn't like us?"
Zhao Shi said enthusiastically: "Yes."
He was afraid of disturbing Mingzhu.
On the contrary, Mingzhu liked the lively feeling and didn't think they were noisy.
Xiaoman, who was almost four years old, was also led by these brothers, jumping up and down, fishing in the water, climbing up trees and digging out bird's nests, which was called "doing no evil".
Although Xiaoman is younger than his brothers, he is not timid at all.
The tree climbing movements are agile and flexible, and you can climb up quickly by kicking the tree trunk with one foot.
There were several peach trees planted in the front yard, and the peaches were picked before they were ripe.
Xiaoman put a few white peaches in his pocket, brought them to his mother like a treasure, and stuffed them into his arms.
Mingzhu looked at these unripe peaches and was overjoyed. She pinched her face and boasted with a smile, "We Xiaoman will respect me."
"Mom, eat."
The peaches were not yet ripe, so they were hard to bite and tasted a bit astringent.
Took two bites and said against his will: "It's very sweet."
Xiaoman was very happy, started dancing, and then said seriously: "I will pick it for my mother tomorrow."
Mingzhu couldn't bear to hurt her daughter's kindness and touched her head: "Okay."
However, there are always surprises when climbing a tree. The brother who led him climbed too much for a moment and fell from the tree. Fortunately, there was grass on the ground, so the fall was not heavy, but he broke a leg. , it will heal in a few months.
In this way, Zhao Shi knew that these children actually took Xiao Man to climb the tree.
He felt it was dangerous and was not allowed to climb.
The little girl inherited his stubborn and stubborn character. How could he not crawl even if he said no
"I didn't fall on my leg."
Zhao Shi laughed angrily: "Do you still want to throw it down?"
Xiaoman puffed up his face and said, "I'm not that worthless."
He was rarely treated harshly by his father. He was terribly wronged and his eyes were red: "Mom also climbed trees when she was a child. Why didn't you tell me?"
Zhao Shi was at a loss and said reluctantly: "If you really fall on your leg in the future, you will feel pain."
My brother's lessons cannot make these children remember at all. A few spoiled brats staying together will only make them more lawless.
The little space in the front yard is no longer enough for them to cause trouble. The dog is so bold that he wants to go to the backyard to steal chickens and dogs.
Xiaoman volunteered: "The backyard belongs to my mother, and the pastries made by my mother are delicious."
The brothers and sisters were all moved by what he said. They swallowed their saliva and said, "Can you give us some to eat? We haven't met our aunt yet."
Xiaoman hesitated for a long time and was very stingy. I just want to show off my mother and don’t want to share.
said reluctantly: "Okay, I can give you a taste, just one."
Xiaoman secretly took some pastries and wrapped them in a handkerchief. After tasting them, his brothers and sisters all said they were really delicious.
Therefore, they prefer to crawl into the backyard.
If you do this a few times, you will meet the legendary aunt.
Once when they were playing hide and seek, they ran too fast and too hastily. The body that rushed out could no longer stop and directly bumped into their little aunt.
They were so frightened that they dared not speak out, fearing that their little aunt would kick them all out.
I'm even more afraid of going to complain to my uncle and punish them.
Mingzhu felt funny when she saw them hiding their bodies, "I'm fine."
In fact, my lower back was a little sore after hitting a stone pillar.
The children said sorry to , and then honestly assured that they would be careful in the future.
Mingzhu looked at how sweaty they were and asked the maid to prepare some fruit and water for them, "Let's all rest for a while before playing."
The Demon King was more obedient in front of him than in front of Zhao Shi.
However, Zhao Shi still found out about the fact that Mingzhu was hit by them, and he punished them privately by copying the book ten times, and was not allowed to let it out to play until it was finished.
Several children were miserable, copying books and thinking, and complained bitterly: "Xiaoman, I never want to come to your house to play again."
Xiaoman snorted, he didn't care.
"Uncle is so scary! Even scarier than my grandfather!!! He doesn't even allow us to get close to my aunt, so stingy!"
"That's right."
"I don't want to copy anymore, my hand is almost broken."
Mingzhu happened to visit on a young day, and her waist was so sore that she could hardly stand upright. She lay on the bed and asked the maid to massage her waist.
At some point, the force on my waist gradually became a little heavier, and the pressing force was just right, sore and soft.
He hummed and narrowed his eyes.
After a while, I looked back and realized that it was Zhao Shi sitting beside the bed.
Mingzhu yawned: "When did you come back?"
Zhao Shi continued to rub his waist, and his deep voice cut through the thick spring scenery: "It didn't last long."
There was a purple mark on a section of the lower back, which was obvious on the snow-white waist.
Zhao Shi said: "Stay away from those little bastards if you see them in the future."
Mingzhu closed her eyes and said, "I was like this when I was a kid."
Aren’t we all at the age where we like to play
Mingzhu was so comfortable that she almost fell asleep. When she was drowsy, she casually asked: "Didn't you act like this when you were a child?"
Zhao Shi fell silent and thought for a while, then answered honestly: "No."
He is very obedient and sensible. It seems that there has never been such a indulgent time.
