Chapter 37(1/3)

"What, but is there something wrong with the quilt?" Chen Jingyan frowned slightly.

"No..." Shi Li laughed dryly, thinking for a long time before speaking, "But this quilt looks very valuable. I remember you were the most honest before, why was you so luxurious to buy such a magical item for heat removal?"

Chen Jingyan heard her words and looked at her for a long time. When Shi Li was so nervous that he curled up his lips and said, "Mrs. Now that she has been home for so long, her food and clothing are all fine. She doesn't think that these things can be supported by her husband's salary, right?"

Shi Li suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Okay, since Madam is comfortable using this quilt, then continue to use it, so don't worry about anyone around you." Chen Jingyan said that, and turned around and left. Although he didn't seem to be in a mood, Shi Li still noticed that he was unhappy.

Can you be happy? Once upon a time, honesty was his most insistent bottom line. Now this line has long stopped mentioning it because of ambition and unwillingness. It just doesn’t mean it does not exist. Even if he now forms a clique for personal gain and ignores the law and discipline, it cannot be said that he does not want to be a good official in his heart.

...Why does it sound so much like whitewashing a corrupt official? Shi Li thought for a moment and felt that in such bloody novels, she would not talk about the three views for the time being. According to her experience, it would be easier to live when the hatred value dropped below 50%, but it would be difficult to decrease it later. If the male supporting role was arrested and killed by the male protagonist before the hatred value dropped, then her previous efforts would be complete.

Shi Li sighed and began to think about how to let Chen Jingyan survive this death disaster. First of all, she could not try to arouse his former ideal, because it would remind him of her betrayal repeatedly, which was very unfavorable to reduce the hatred value. Secondly, she had to seize the time and find ways to help him through the crisis while reducing the hatred value as much as possible.

...When she thought about this, she had a lot to do.

Shi Lisang held Bingbing cold quilt with his eyes closed, trying to find a solution to this matter.

However, she underestimated the action of a group of corrupt officials. Before she could think of a solution, Chen Jingyan had already booked a large area of ​​farmland in the countryside near Kyoto and began to plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms.

He really thought he had lived too long when he dared to use such important arable land to plant mulberry trees. When Shi Li went to the study to find Chen Jingyan, the study room was empty. She saw the document sent by his subordinates on the table. Seeing how many mulberry trees were planted per acre of land, Shi Li wanted to knock on Chen Jingyan's head to see what he was thinking.

"Madam is asking me for something?" Chen Jingyan suddenly appeared in the study.

Shi Li was shocked and realized that there might be a secret door in the study. After Chen Jingyan took all the things she had just peeked at the document, she simply took his document and nodded to him generously: "Today's fifteenth day, I heard that there were lanterns parades in the city, so I want to ask my husband to see it together."

Chen Jingyan's eyes fell into her hands, and Shi Li also followed his gaze and frowned: "But I didn't expect that I would see such a thing here."

"What?" She casually looked through the study, and Chen Jingyan seemed not angry.

Shi Li put down the document and walked up to him unhappily: "Do you know that abuse of arable land is a major event. Even if you are the chief minister and have power, as long as someone who wants to deal with you, you can still use this matter to punish your death penalty."

"Mrs. I'm just a few acres of arable land. Even if I'm discovered, the emperor will at most scold me, so I won't be as serious as the crime." Chen Jingyan said casually, obviously not taking her words to heart.

Shi Li sighed: "Maybe it won't be, but you have said before that the food, clothing and expenses at home are all good, and it is not something you can afford with your little salary. If the emperor becomes suspicious of you for this, what should you do if you need to check it out?"

"Madam is worried about being a husband?" Chen Jingyan raised his eyebrows.

Shi Li: When is the "..." so bad, and there is still a concern here to adjust your feelings?

Chen Jingyan saw her serious expression, and although he felt that he was making a big fuss, he still felt quite helpful. He pinched Shi Li's jaw and pecked her gently, then said warmly: "Don't worry, I have been in the officialdom for many years and will not overturn the car in such a small matter."

Shi Li pursed her lips, lowered her posture for a while, and begged in a low voice: "But I am still afraid, if something happens to you, who else can I rely on in the future?"

Chen Jingyan's eyes had a slight fluctuation. When Shi Li saw that there was something to do, he immediately grabbed his sleeve and said helplessly: "Just treat it for me, to prevent me from being scared. Husband should not get involved in this matter again this time? I always feel that so many farmlands have destroyed the farmland and changed to mulberry leaves and will not be easily covered."

She thought about it for many days but could not think of a plan to fight with the male protagonist. She could only start from Chen Jingyan. She originally wanted to take advantage of the lanterns today, but she deliberately fell into the water and was frightened. Then she pestered him all day long on the grounds of being sick, telling him not to do these things. But now she saw that he seemed to have been shaken, so she immediately changed her mind and wanted to persuade him in the simplest way.

That's pretending to be pitiful.

After she said that, her eyes looked at Chen Jingyan with red eyes. Chen Jingyan looked at her for a long time and hugged the person in his arms: "Forget it, listen to you."

"Really?" Shi Li's eyes lit up, and then she couldn't believe it.

Chen Jingyan's voice couldn't hear his joy and anger: "Yeah, really."

Shi Li seemed to be hit by a pie falling from the sky, and she was dizzy, and her eyes were also bright when she looked at Chen Jingyan.

Chen Jingyan looked at her like this, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Male hatred value: 30%

Shi Li smiled as soon as he saw it, and couldn't help but take the initiative to put his neck on his neck and kiss him, and whispered: "Why do I like you so much?"

After she said that, she was stunned for a moment, and she didn't seem to expect that she would say that.

Chen Jingyan also froze, and then asked her anxiously: "What did you say just now, say it again."

Shi Li came back to his senses and looked at him trying hard to pretend to be calm, but he still showed a hint of nervousness and expectation. He couldn't help but smile: "I like you very much, Chen Jingyan. In the past, I should have liked you when I was young, but it was too long and I forgot."

"It's okay, just like it now." Chen Jingyan finished speaking, pinched her waist and hugged the person. Shi Li exclaimed, and the next second he placed it on the table.

As many objects on the table landed, he pressed Shi Li on the table and ate it thoroughly.

Although he had learned to take care of Shili's feelings, he still exposed his rough nature whenever he could not suppress his feelings. However, with the tragic contrast before, Shili felt that he was simply too good now.

The two of them made a fuss for an hour before stopping. Chen Jingyan directly sent someone to send Shui to the study. Shi Li was wearing his coat and blushed and complained: "How could you do this? Call Shui here directly. I'm afraid everyone knows what we've done just now."

"You screamed so loudly, even if you didn't let the water be sent, I'm afraid everyone will know." Chen Jingyan had enough food and drink, and he felt a little lazy when he spoke.

Shi Li snorted lightly and reached out to him: "I don't have the strength, please help me wash it."

Chen Jingyan naturally agreed. Shi Li originally wanted to bully him, but after being carried into the water, he found that the bullied one had become him, and he complained suddenly. Unfortunately, it was too late to repent. When they came out of the bathtub, less than half a bucket of water was left in the bucket.

"Are you still going to see the lanterns?" Chen Jingyan asked.

Shi Li couldn't even raise her fingers, and he looked at him quietly.

Chen Jingyan was amused by her eyes, rubbed her hair, and took the person back to the bedroom to rest.

Shi Li was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes when she got stuck in the bed. She was confused and asked, "You really won't do it..."

Chen Jingyan lay beside her and carried the person into her arms: "Don't worry, I won't mess with you anymore."

Shi Li: "…"

What she wanted to ask was whether she would not do anything to destroy the farming of mulberry trees. Who asked him about that? She had ten thousand words in her heart that wanted to complain, but before she could say one, she was already in a dark dream.

When she woke up the next day, Chen Jingyan was still not at home. Shi Li had already become accustomed to it, so she got up and cleaned up briefly, and then went to the kitchen.

"Madam, why did you suddenly remember to check the kitchen?" the maid asked in confusion.

Shi Li looked at her with a funny look: "I didn't want to check it out, I'm going to make some food."

"What does the lady want to eat? I'll ask someone to do it now. I dare not let the lady do it!" The maid hurriedly stopped her in front of her.

Shi Li stopped speechlessly: "I want to make some food for adults, and you want to stop me?"

"...It turns out that it was for the adults, so I dare not stop him." The maid's unconscious mind finally reminiscent of the story, and she hurriedly smiled and moved away.

Shi Li arrived at the kitchen smoothly. After thinking for a while, he made a few delicious pastries for Chen Jingyan.

The pastry was very time-consuming. She woke up until noon again and was slow to make noodles. When she finished cooking two dishes, it was getting late.

Chen Jingyan came back from outside as usual, and as soon as he entered the book, he went to the backyard. When he arrived at the dormitory, he found that Shi Li was not there, and his face suddenly sank. Although it seemed calm, his steps were a little messy when he looked elsewhere.

Fortunately, before he could look for it, the servant stepped forward: "Sir, the lady is making pastries in the kitchen."

Chen Jingyan stopped suddenly and asked with a subtle expression: "Pastry?"

"Yes, my wife said you worked hard on weekdays, but she was fine at home, so she had to think of ways to cherish you." The servant was very clever and knew what to learn and would love to listen to, so he told him everything he heard Shi Li said today.

Sure enough, Chen Jingyan's face suddenly relaxed, and he took a gold ingot from his belt and threw it to the servant. When the servant thanked him in a moving way, he hurried to the kitchen.

Before I even arrived at the kitchen, I heard the maid's anxious voice: "Madam, there is a lot of smoke here. You can go out and wait first, and leave the rest to the servants."

"How can this work? I want to cook something for my husband, so how can I ask you for help?" Shi Li Qingli said in dissatisfaction.

After Chen Jingyan heard what she called him, a smile flashed in his eyes and he walked forward.

"Madam, I know you feel sorry for yourselves, but it's too hot today. When the oil is burned, I'm afraid I'll be suffocating myself in the house. Your health is not so good. What if it's smothered?" The maid continued to be very thoughtful.

Shi Li was about to retort when he saw everyone in the kitchen stunned for a moment, and then saluted Fu Shin in the direction behind her: "See sir."

Shi Li paused and couldn't help but turn around. A man in a purple robe appeared in his eyes unexpectedly. He was handsome, and even with this dull color, he would not look old when worn. Instead, he had a hint of steadyness and nobleness, which made his face look more and more beautiful.

Male hatred value: 28%

Chen Jingyan saw her obviously stunned, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up: "What are you looking at, Madam?"

"Look at your husband," Shi Li answered sincerely, and then smiled slightly, "I have always known that my husband is handsome, and I always feel that after watching it for so many years, I have been used to it, but now I can't help but lose my composure when I look at your face."

"Madam, are you praising me?" Chen Jingyan approached her.

Shi Li's eyes were even more smiling: "Yes, I'm praising you."

Chen Jingyan smiled and stretched out his hand at her. Shi Li looked at his clear-cut fingers and couldn't help but hold them up. When he realized that he had already taken him outside the kitchen.

"...The pastry is not ready yet." Shi Li frowned.

Chen Jingyan tightened her hand and did not intend to let her in: "It's okay, just ask others to do it."

"But……"

"I have already felt the madam's intentions. As for anything else, it is not that important." Chen Jingyan said, and his fingertips inadvertently scratched her palm.

Shi Li shrank his hands and a little flushed on her cheeks.

The two went back to the dormitory together, talked for a while, and then sat down in the dining room together.

Shi Li had half made pastries, but the person in the kitchen had already put them in his tail and delivered them. Shi Li tasted it before Shen Jingyan, and then he satisfactorily picked up a new piece of cake for him: "What I made are delicious pastries regardless of whether they are hot or cold. When you go to the government office to do things tomorrow, you will bring some with you. You can use some when you have no appetite."

"Okay." Chen Jingyan agreed happily.

Shi Li looked at him with chopsticks and smiled relaxedly when he finished eating. The couple ate and chatted. When the meal was about to end, Shi Li frowned: "You promised me yesterday that you no longer do the destruction of mulberry farming. Isn't it a pity for me?"

"Natural," Chen Jingyan lowered his eyes and grabbed a lotus root into her bowl, "Madam, please relax."

After hearing this, Shi Li felt relieved and became more eager to pick up food for him. Originally, she just wanted to reduce the hatred value faster, and gradually became rewarded with obedience. As for hatred value, she had long forgotten where she had been.

After the two of them finished their meal together, Shi Li wanted to take a walk in the yard, but was pulled by Chen Jingyan. She looked at him for no reason.

"Don't you want to see the lantern?" Chen Jingyan asked with a smile.
