Chu Li put down the tea cup and sighed: "You talk about loyalty with Gu Litong, but Gu Litong treats you as a fool. Brother Zhou, don't you understand?"
"No matter what, I can't break my promise!" Zhou Yuting snorted.
"How can this be treachery? Think about it, if Gu Litong continues like this, how can the West Garden be fine? Sooner or later something will happen!... How dare he kill the good Moonlight Orchid? What else can he not dare to do? There is nothing in the world that is airtight. Qiang, if something happens in the future and the eldest son is angry, what will you do?"
Zhou Yuting's expression changed.
Once the eldest son gets angry, he will definitely get angry at himself.
Chu Li said: "When Gu Litong did this, did he ever take care of you or think about you? He felt that the world revolved around him, and you should be nice to him. He didn't have to be nice to you or think about you. These words Isn’t it me?”
Zhou Yuting was silent.
Everything Chu Li said was correct. Gu Litong really didn't care about him. Everything was subject to him. He was just a foil.
Chu Li continued: "If you could hide it for him in normal times, you might be able to hide it for a while, but the situation is different now. Now I have to force you to choose. You can either choose someone who loves you deeply and who you also love deeply. Good girl, or die together with Gu Litong, any normal person knows what to choose!"
"But..." Zhou Yuting frowned.
Chu Li waved his hand: "Moreover, is what you did just? Should Gu Litong's playstyle be stopped? As a member of the West Garden and a subordinate of the eldest son, should you be loyal to the eldest son or Gu Litong? Is Gu Litong more important than the eldest son?"
Chu Li took another sip of tea: "If you keep hiding it, you are being disloyal to the eldest young master!"
He waved his hand again, interrupted Zhou Yuting again, and continued: "You are unfaithful to the eldest son, unjust to the girl who loves you deeply, but you are loyal to a despicable person? Don't you think you are ridiculous?!"
Zhou Yuting remained silent.
Chu Li said: "If Brother Zhou speaks out and becomes a man for once, not only will Miss Yujiao, but this house also belong to Brother Zhou, it will also be regarded as my whole heart!"
"Hmph, your intentions are so precious!" Zhou Yuting snorted.
Chu Li smiled: "Okay first, the house is given to Brother Zhou, but the redemption money is still 4c4c4c4c, m.◎.co☆m has to pay it back, divided into ten years, ten thousand taels a year does not count Is that much?"
"Twenty years!" Zhou Yuting said.
He is only at the eighth level now and is not a guard. He can only get it from home, but ten thousand taels a year is still too much.
"Okay, twenty years." Chu Li hummed.
He stood up and put down the tea cup, took out an IOU from his arms and handed it to him: "Please draw the pledge."
Zhou Yuting took it and looked at it for a few times, bit off his left index finger, pressed the red handprint, and hummed: "Don't trust me yet!"
"If Brother Zhou does something he shouldn't do, I will take this IOU to Zhou Zongfeng, and Zhou Zongfeng will not default on his debt." Chu Li smiled and said, "Well, I won't bother you,** A moment is worth a thousand pieces of gold!”
He waved his hand at Zhou Yuting and floated away.
Zhou Yuting stood there in a daze.
"Young Master?" Yujiao curled over, like a weak willow supporting the wind.
Zhou Yuting's tangled thoughts disappeared in an instant, and he reached out and pulled Yujiao into his arms. The joy of finding her was overflowing in his heart, and he rushed into the bedroom with her in his arms.
—
It was already midnight when Chu Li returned to the courtyard on Yuqi Island.
He opened the door, and there were screams in the courtyard: "Who?"
"Me!" Chu Li stepped into the hospital.
As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, the air suddenly changed. It felt refreshed in an instant, as if my pores suddenly opened. It was so refreshing that it was indescribable.
Xue Ling, who was in fluttering white clothes, was practicing the Eight Taiyin Postures. When she saw it was him, she was surprised and said: "Young Master?!"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Aren't you happy when I come back?"
Xue Lingyu grimaced and hummed: "What am I happy about? I have to work hard to serve you!"
Chu Li shook his head with a smile, came to the Tianling Tree, looked at it carefully, and felt satisfied.
Xuanli grass has grown very tall, far thicker and stronger than ordinary Xuanli grass. Such Xuanli grass will have better medicinal effect.
"Sir, the Night Dream flower has bloomed twice. The manager picked the flowers."
"Yes." Chu Litou said, he had already sent someone to deliver a letter, asking Suru to come and pick the Night Dream Flower in time. As for the Purple Ming Flower and others, there is no need to be in such a hurry. The longer they grow, the better.
"Master Manager, you went to accompany the beauty. What's going on?" Xueling brought the white jade teacup.
Chu Li took it and took a sip: "It's hard to say anything. Later, you can practice your skills."
"Want a late-night snack?"
"No."
"I'd better make some." Xueling said, running into the kitchen lightly.
Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
The Tianling Tree has grown a lot, with the help of four trees. It is indeed growing very fast. Now is its rapid growth period. It is estimated that in the next year, the growth rate will slow down. It will be as slow as a turtle. It depends on the years. It is large and has a lifespan of thousands of years.
Chu Li sat back in the pavilion and exhaled a sigh of relief. He was still comfortable at home.
He had been away from home for a month this time, and when he came back to this hospital, he felt friendly and comfortable. He felt that this was his home and he was at ease.
After Xueling served the supper, Chu Li asked her to practice the Eight Taiyin Postures to see how she went.
Xueling practiced it once, and Chu Li dialed in a few words.
Xueling thought about improvements on her own, understood what Chu Lisuo meant, and felt that she had gained a lot. Sure enough, she still needed his guidance.
The next day, Chu Li lazily got up, sat in the pavilion for a day, tempered his body with the breath of the Tianling Tree, and continued to practice the Vajra Duer Magic. The Xuanli Grass was mature and he could start medicinal bathing.
In the evening, the setting sun filled the courtyard with its slanting glow.
Suru, with her apricot-yellow robe fluttering, opened the door and entered the pavilion without waiting for Chu Li to come out. She sat in front of Chu Li and widened her bright eyes: "Chu Li, what on earth did you do?"
Chu Li smiled and said, "Manager, what's the matter?"
"Gu Litong's hand was broken and he was expelled from the Duke's mansion!" Suru said in surprise: "The eldest son is furious. No one knows why. I guess it's you who caused the trouble!"
Chu Li shook his head and sighed: "What a pity!"
"What a pity, hypocrisy!" Suru rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "This guy should have been expelled from the house long ago!"
Chu Li said: "He is still talented and learned."
Gu Litong had evil intentions, but he was very talented in the field of flowers and plants. If he didn't have the Ku Rong Sutra, he would really not be able to compare with him.
"Hurry, what did you do?" Suru urged.
Chu Li didn't hide anything. He told what happened and said with a smile: "Fighting poison with poison. It's difficult to deal with someone like him in an upright way."
"You are quite vicious!" Su Ru looked at him with bright eyes strangely: "You are full of evil ideas!"
Chu Li smiled and said nothing.
Suru said: "One hundred thousand taels?"
Chu Li took out the IOU: "Actually, I don't intend to ask him to pay it back, but Zhou Yuting will not be willing to be restrained without a handle."
Suru took one look and hummed: "I don't have a hundred thousand taels to give you!"
Chu Li smiled and said: "Where is the manager thinking? How could he ask the manager to pay for it!"
Suru rolled her eyes at him: "I don't know you yet!"
