Chapter 937 Preference and Exceptions
After Shi Li returned from Cheng's mother's house, she took another nap in her room.
The Cheng family had not yet been divided, and Cheng's mother was there to take care of the chores in the inner house. As a young daughter-in-law who had just married into the family, there was really nothing for her to do.
I didn't expect that just taking a nap would cause a lot of nonsense from the trolls.
[Haha, you can't support a wall with mud! ]
[It's really sad that the empress of Emperor Ji is like this. She can't compare to Princess Jing in the slightest. \u003d \u003d]
[I’ve seen enough. I’m not leaving now because I just want to see my Princess Jing~]
As soon as the sarcastic comments came out, many mother fans who were eager to protect Lizhi came out to respond, fearing that little Lizhi would be hurt in any way.
However, Shi Li was very upset and slept until noon, when he was still woken up by his personal maid.
"Madam, wake up. The second young master is back." The maid looked worried, fearing that Cheng Xi would be displeased with Shi Li's behavior.
Shi Li had just woken up, her head still a little fuzzy. She sat up and straightened her clothes, then saw Cheng Xi coming in from outside.
The tall and thin boy looked even more handsome in the bright sunshine.
"Brother Cheng Xi is so handsome."
Before Shi Li's brain could react, the words had already come out of her mouth.
Cheng Xi paused slightly, and the maid beside him opened her eyes wide silently.
Shi Li: ...
She has come back to her old habit of calling all the 2D characters handsome again. She deserves to be punished!
The room was strangely quiet for a moment.
Finally, Cheng Xi reacted, raised his hand to let the maid go, and continued to walk to Shi Li.
"See if you like it?"
He handed the jewelry box he had just bought outside to Shi Li, pretending not to hear what was said just now, but he was obviously very happy in his heart.
Uh...receiving gifts just after we met?
Shi Li felt a little embarrassed, but then she thought, even though they had just met, they had a strong enough relationship, so she happily took the jewelry box and opened it.
What caught her eye was an extremely delicate hairpin. As she picked it up with her fingers, the bell made a clear and pleasant sound.
Let Shi Li fall in love at first sight.
She felt that this hairpin should be hers, so she put it on her head without thinking.
But there was no mirror in front of her, so this blind insertion looked very funny.
Cheng Xi witnessed this from the side and curled his lips unconsciously. He raised his hand to pull out the hairpin and put it back on her.
"Thank you...Axi." Shi Li touched the bell hairpin and couldn't help feeling happy.
However, asking her to call him "brother" or "husband" when she is awake is really a bit too much to ask.
Cheng Xi didn't care what her name was, he just touched her hair with a doting look.
But this young couple did not have many warm and happy days together. The next day, news came that the prince was planning a rebellion. The imperial capital was in chaos and the former dynasty was about to end.
The head of the family, Cheng Yuan, was keenly aware that this was a great opportunity. Not daring to waste a moment, he decisively took his three sons and marched to the imperial capital in the name of clearing the court of corrupt officials.
"Erlang is out there and has no choice but to do what he wants. Lili has been wronged. Wait for him to come back and ask him to apologize to you."
Cheng's mother was worried that Shi Li was having unrealistic thoughts, so she called her to her side to comfort her.
Shi Li naturally didn't think too much about it. He just looked at the blue sky outside and thought that the era belonging to the Cheng family of the Li Dynasty was finally coming.
Only the female members of the Cheng family were left. At the same time, Cheng Danzhu, the youngest daughter of the Cheng family who had previously lived with her maternal grandparents to take care of her mother Cheng, was also brought back.
When Shi Li saw Cheng Danzhu for the first time, she was stunned by her beauty.
It turns out that the beauties mentioned in ancient books who were stunningly beautiful at the age of 18 actually existed!
Cheng Danzhu is one year younger than the original owner, but her appearance is extremely beautiful.
She has a face like a lotus, eyes like pearls, and a graceful smile that can captivate the whole city.
No wonder it was praised as the pearl of the prosperous age by later generations.
No one would dislike such a beautiful girl.
Within three days, Shi Li and she became good friends.
In front of Cheng's mother, Cheng Danzhu directly took Shi Li's hand and raised her delicate chin proudly, "Li Li and I are the best in the world!"
As long as there were no outsiders present, she would just call her "Lili" without ever calling her "Second Sister-in-law".
Mother Cheng held her forehead with her hand and smiled, thinking that these two aunts and sisters-in-law were just children and she did not interfere.
Shi Li had a happy life in Cheng's house.
Even though Cheng Jue and Cheng Xi's relationship was not good now, Xu was polite to her, but they were not close at most.
The Cheng father and son had been on the expedition for half a month, and from time to time there were reports of victory. However, half a month later, late one night, Shi Li was awakened by the panicked voice of the maid.
"Young Madam, something bad has happened! The Second Young Master was seriously injured on the battlefield!"
