At night, Yan Ling called Li Yi to his room. Liyi had heard a little bit about what happened during the day, so everyone in the yard looked at her strangely today.
Li Yi was a little surprised at first as to why these people were so afraid of him. Later, he found that many people were missing in the yard. Liyi casually asked a little girl, but unexpectedly, he almost made her cry.
It was precisely because of this that Li Yi knew that Yan Ling had personally gathered those gossipers together in the afternoon. No one knew how they were punished, but everyone knew that they were all kicked out of the house in the end.
Most of these people, except those whose families were poor and came to the government voluntarily, were bought from various places by others.
It's naturally not easy to get into a big house like the Prime Minister's Mansion. Now, once they are kicked out, I am afraid that other houses will also know the news, which can be regarded as cutting off their future path.
Such punishment cannot be tolerated, but Li Yi will not pity them. It is said that poor people must be hateful. As someone who has experienced it personally, Li Yi understands it better.
Li Yi also vaguely knew that it was because of himself. Li Yi felt a little excited when he thought that his young lady was standing up for him. Perhaps, the lady actually still cares about her.
However, Li Yi was not so sure about what he was thinking. In fact, the relationship between Li Yi and Yan Ling was not that good in the past. It was completely different after returning from that family visit.
It is precisely because of this that Li Yi has been worried about his position in Yan Ling's heart. If it weren't for the uncertainty in his heart, how could Li Yi listen to other people's gossip
Liyi has always attached great importance to his young lady from the beginning to the end. Therefore, when Yan Ling was nice to her, she was happy but felt uneasy. When Yan Ling "alienated" her, Li Yi no longer moved closer, but carefully reduced his presence.
"Li Yi, are you really not planning to tell me what happened during this period?" Yan Ling felt helpless when he saw the person standing in front of him with his head lowered but silent for a while.
"Miss" Liyi's voice was choked.
Yan Ling sighed. She originally thought that some words did not need to be spoken in order to be felt. As a result, Li Yi had always been uneasy and cautious, but he was completely unaware of it.
Yan Ling felt that Li Yi was stupid, and he also felt stupid. The person who is always by his side will show a cautious attitude from time to time, but he, the master, has not noticed it at all.
"Li Yi, I have something to tell you. You don't have to speak, just listen." Yan Ling thought about it and felt that he should make things clear.
Sometimes, thousands of honors and favors may not be as reassuring as a word that can make those around you feel at ease.
"Although I have never said these words to you, because I think you should understand in your heart, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid." Yan Ling rubbed his forehead and said.
"Li Yi, do you know that in fact, in my heart, you have always been the most trustworthy person around me." Hearing this, Li Yi was shocked and speechless.
Yan Ling ignored Li Yi's stunned look and said to himself: "I was weak before, and you were bullied along with me. I thought I became stronger and could protect you by being good to you, but I didn't expect , but it was me who hurt you in the end."
"I've been too busy during this period. After what happened last time, you haven't been in a good mood. I planned to let you have a good rest. But in the end, I didn't expect that I neglected to take care of your emotions." There was a trace of guilt on Yan Ling's face.
"Miss, stop talking." Li Yi felt moved in her heart, and her tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Yan Ling suddenly shed two tears and said slowly: "If you hadn't told me in a whisper today, I would still have been kept in the dark."
Seeing Yan Ling shed tears, Li Yiran panicked and said incoherently: "I have no intention of blaming the young lady, and there is no need for the young lady to feel guilty. It is my fault that made the young lady worry."
Yan Ling stood up, walked to Li Yi, gently held her in his arms, and whispered: "No matter what happens in the future, you must remember to trust me. No matter what happens, you must tell me, Don’t be alone in your heart anymore.”
Because of Yan Ling's posture, he could clearly feel that the person he was holding in his arms seemed to be much thinner than before, and his face looked a little haggard. When he thought that it wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for his own negligence, Yan Ling felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Li Yi finally felt relieved at this moment, and immediately threw himself into Yan Ling's arms, responding indiscriminately, and bursting into tears.
Qingyu has been outside the curtain, listening to the conversation between the two in the room. Seeing that his young lady and Li Yi had settled their differences, their hearts were suddenly opened, and Qingyu didn't feel relieved.
During this period of time, people in Liyi's yard were bullying him. If he felt guilty, Yan Ling was probably not the only one. Although Qingyu never showed anything, she felt a little indebted to Liyi in her heart.
To put it mildly, the reason why Li Yi was bullied was not only because everyone felt that Yan Ling had "alienated" Li Yi, but also because Yan Ling valued Qing Yu more and more during this period.
Almost everyone felt that the reason Liyi fell out of favor was because Qingyu replaced her.
Qingyu is not an ambitious person and has no intention of climbing up. If Yan Ling hadn't noticed her that day, I'm afraid that Qing Yu would still be just an ordinary girl in the yard who works calmly but doesn't like to talk.
Although, Qingyu knew very well that she did not use any despicable means, nor did she take the initiative to get involved. However, Qingyu had to admit that before she appeared, Li Yi was the only one beside Yan Ling.
Although Qingyu may not be so clear about what Li Yi is thinking. However, her life has not been in vain for so many years. There are many people like them who have been promoted and underestimated.
"Qingyu, come in too." Yan Ling called from inside.
Qingyu walked in without thinking too much, and then stood aside politely.
When Yan Ling saw this scene, he didn't think it was funny. He sighed softly and said, "It would be great if the two of you could complement each other."
Yan Ling truly meant what he said. Although Li Yi had always been by his side, it was precisely because he was by his side that he had never seen big storms and would be so panicked when something happened.
As for Qingyu, I don't know why. She is prudent in doing things, but she is too lifeless and doesn't look like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. Naturally, Yan Ling can't stand it.
