Chapter 2796: Justice of the Heroine
Before we knew it, winter is here again.
Even if it snows in the winter in the south of the Yangtze River, it doesn’t feel that cold. Instead, it adds a bit of poetic beauty.
Shi Li was in a good mood. She set up a small stove under the eaves and planned to boil tea around it. She also prepared a plate of exquisite snacks for herself.
Take a sip of new tea, take a bite of a snack, and then look at the lightly falling snow in the yard and the red plum blossoms in the corner of the yard.
Shi Li was very satisfied.
This is how life should be lived to make it meaningful.
Shi Li squinted her eyes comfortably, and heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw Jingzhe walking towards her with a cloak with a snow-white fur collar in his hand, and subconsciously stretched out her hand to block the footsteps.
"I'm not cold, don't wear it." After all, she has the true qi to protect her body. Isn't it a joke that she needs to wear a cloak to enjoy the snow here?
But Jingzhe now sometimes obeyed and sometimes disobeyed, and stubbornly put the cloak on her shoulders.
The warmth permeated her body, and Shi Li reluctantly compromised again, then raised her teacup to him, "Sit down and drink tea with me?"
Jingzhe became obedient again, moved a chair and sat opposite Shili, picking up the teacup.
An ordinary teacup in his hand actually looked quite noble. His slender fingers holding the teacup were even more beautiful than the falling snow in the south of the Yangtze River.
Shi Li looked away, coughed lightly, and changed the subject, asking, "How is the Gu refining going?"
When this matter was mentioned, Jingzhe's eyes suddenly dimmed.
It was not known whether it was because he lacked talent now, or because the Gu he had put on himself was too overbearing, but after many days, he had not made any progress at all, and now he was refining the Gu entirely based on his body's instincts.
Seeing him like this, Shi Li guessed that things would not go smoothly.
"What do you think of my current method of making tea? Is it much better than before?" She changed the subject very abruptly.
Jingzhe knew what she was thinking, and silently lowered his head to take a sip, then nodded seriously.
Some people live a peaceful life, while others are full of murderous intent.
Across the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River and across the natural barriers of southern Xinjiang, there are still people who are obsessed with Jingzhe.
"These old guys! Humph!"
It took the newly appointed village chief Ada more than a month to suppress all the voices opposing him in the village. There were a few who he really couldn't use, so he found ways to completely eliminate them.
Now, he has the final say in the village.
But even so, I still don't feel satisfied.
"Have you found out? Which rat hole is he hiding in now?" Ada stood at the bottom of the bamboo building, with his hands behind his back, looking at his trusted subordinate who had returned to his side.
The subordinate did not dare to look up, and only said in a low voice: "We found him. He is hiding in the Jiangnan area now, and he doesn't remember anything."
"Ah."
Ada sneered, "You dare to show up? Don't blame me then."
"Chief, you swore in front of the old chief..." The subordinate couldn't help but remind him, but Ada glared back at him coldly and he dared not speak again.
Ada thought about it for a while, and finally said to his men: "Keep an eye on them. When I finish dealing with the affairs in the village, I will go and clean up the mess!"
Even though the subordinates felt that something was wrong, they did not dare to say anything when they thought about the several elders who had died tragically in the village recently. They just silently answered "yes".
Shi Li knew that she could not help Jingzhe in any way regarding the Gu-making matter, so she just didn't bother him or ask too many questions, and spent more time with Mingzhu during this winter.
Mingzhu grew more and more lovely, with cheeks as white as jade. Whenever she saw Shili, she smiled non-stop and was especially affectionate to her.
Shi Li was teasing her with a rattle, and she reached out to grab it. Shi Li deliberately raised the rattle high so that she couldn't grab it, and she was so angry that she used her hands and feet to grab it.
【The host has some bad ideas! 】
【Ahhh! Look how anxious Mingzhu is! Streamer, give it to her! Give it to her!】
[So cute, I want mua!!!]
In the end, Shi Li did not give the rattle to Mingzhu, but Mingzhu kept stretching out her hand, her little face turned red with anxiety, and then she looked at Shi Li and suddenly uttered two words.
"Mom...mother!"
Shi Li was stunned, and then she felt as if there was sand in her eyes.
She and Mingzhu did not have much contact, as she was taken care of by the wet nurse and maids most of the time, but Mingzhu always liked her.
I don’t know who said “mom” several times in front of her, but she actually remembered it.
"All right, my little girl, Mingzhu."
It would be a lie to say that she wasn't excited. Shi Li threw the rattle aside and picked up Mingzhu, feeling happy and proud.
He even carried her to next door to show off to Jiang Wan.
"I'm telling you, our Mingzhu can call me mom now!"
