Chapter 38(2/3)

"Xu Zhi is honest and upright, and he has always maintained his true heart. But I have been corrupted by power and cannot get out of my way. In the same way, under his skin is the breeze and bright moon, and mine is only blood maggots and rotten flesh. What should I compare with him?" Chen Jingyan's voice was not emotional.

Shi Li stopped suddenly and looked back at him in a daze.

A trace of mockery flashed in Chen Jingyan's eyes, and he walked towards her step by step: "Not only these, his mind is more open than me. If he had been replaced today, he would not have suspected you, nor would he be as strong as me, relying on being a man, he would have used you."

He walked to Shi Li and stood in front of him: "I won't lie to you."

Shi Li opened her mouth and said for a while: "...Are you lying to me?"

"Yes." Chen Jingyan looked at her faintly.

Shi Li frowned slightly: "What did you lie to me?"

"I promised you not to do the destruction of the mulberry farming, but in the end I did it, just hide it from you," Chen Jingyan's eyes were indifferent, "Look, I am such a person, suspicious, full of lies, and I am not worthy at all..."

Shi Li stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips, and Chen Jingyan's voice stopped abruptly.

Shi Li took a deep breath: "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have become like this now. If you were mud, then I wouldn't be much better."

She had thought before that the beliefs of more than 20 years would change at any time. Even though Chen Jingyan was becoming more and more useless, deep down he would really not be able to despise himself at his current moment?

Now Shen Jingyan gave her the answer personally.

"I, I looked at that person yesterday, but instinctively thought he was not simple, and seemed to be cautious about you... I just thought that I was guilty. I always felt that he would deal with you behind my back, so I couldn't help but take a few more glances. As for falling into the water later, I didn't mean it." Shi Li sighed briefly.

Chen Jingyan stared at her without blinking, and Shi Li let him watch it until he turned aside, and then muttered in a low voice: "You are my husband and my man, I only know this is enough. As for whether you are good or bad, despicable or insidious villain, there is no difference in my eyes. As for others, it would be fine if they do not threaten you, but if there is a threat, I will not sit idly by."

She said this so clearly, but she didn't know what Chen Jingyan would react, and would she think she was hypocritical or something else? Shi Li subconsciously looked up and looked at him unexpectedly.

Male hatred value: 20%

Shi Li raised the corner of her lips slightly, and then he coughed before calming down: "As for what you said you were lying to me just now, you'd better stop doing it. That thing was too much. There were so many eyes in the court staring at you, and I'm afraid something might happen to you."

Chen Jingyan looked at her quietly, and after a while he reached out and held her hand: "Yes."

"Is it really not to do this time?" Shi Li narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

Chen Jingyan nodded slightly: "I really won't do it anymore."

"...No, I don't believe you anymore. Now you write me a few letters to follow up on this matter. Don't go anywhere if you get sick for another month. I have to stare at you carefully." Shi Li narrowed his eyes. No wonder he elopes once, and he has always been suspicious of her. Those who have a criminal record are easily suspected.

Chen Jingyan saw her vigilant look, and a smile flashed in his eyes: "I really won't do it anymore. I'll write a letter to ask someone to restore the farming field and deal with the matter on the scene clearly. I will never lie to you anymore."

"Really?" Shi Li narrowed her eyes.

Chen Jingyan nodded and thought for a while: "Really, if I lie to you again, what if you break one of my legs?"

Shi Li snorted: "You know I don't want to give up."

A smile flashed in Chen Jingyan's eyes: "If you are so worried, how about you writing a letter yourself?"

Shi Li's heart moved. Generally speaking, she did not have skills when traveling through time. It was okay in the modern world. Once it reached ancient times, it was almost like opening her eyes. Although she knew those traditional Chinese characters, she could not write any of them. That's all, she didn't know how to use a brush.

Chen Jingyan always thought she was illiterate. When her husband and wife were together, she often taught her to read and write. Shi Li didn't like him nagging, so she asked him to write a copybook every day. After practicing for a few years, she wrote her handwriting almost the same as Chen Jingyan.

Chen Jingyan saw her heart-wrenching look and couldn't help but laugh: "Do you want to write?"

"...what to write, you can write it yourself." Shi Li snorted. She had practiced calligraphy a few days ago and found that she was not unfamiliar, but it did not mean that she liked writing such brain-consuming things.

"Okay." Chen Jingyan walked to the desk with a good temper.

Seeing that he was really going to write, Shi Li hurriedly grabbed his wrist and said angrily: "You are so injured today. How can you worry about it? Hurry up and rest on the bed. What do you want to explain to me?"

Chen Jingyan originally wanted to say no, but after seeing her face full of disagreement, he turned around and walked out. Shi Li called him: "What are you doing?"

"Go back to your room to rest." Chen Jingyan replied.

Shi Li raised her eyebrows: "Who is going to let you go back to your dormitory? I want you to settle it in the study."

Chen Jingyan was silent for a moment and looked at the small bed temporarily placed in the study. A thin quilt was laid on the bed, which was indescribable. He looked at Shi Li silently: "Didn't you forgive me?"

"Who forgives? Yesterday I fell into the water. If you didn't care or say anything, and you still treated me like that, I won't forgive you easily. You live in the study. When will I feel relieved, you can go back with me again." Shi Li put his hands on his hips. Every time he suspicious of her, although he quickly admitted his mistake, he would continue next time. She thought about it carefully and clearly because she was not punished, so she didn't have a memory.

Seeing that she insisted, Chen Jingyan did not argue anymore, but just lay down on the bed obediently, looking pitiful. Shi Li felt soft-hearted for a moment, and then he remembered his sinister personality. He forced himself to soften his heart, and left with his head raised.

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned to look at the person on the bed: "Since I don't like what I do now, don't do it in the future."

Chen Jingyan moved his fingertips.

Shi Li smiled slightly: "Now you are in the prime minister and you have no more upward position. No matter how greedy you are, it is just a matter of how much money you are. It is better to do something that you wanted to do but couldn't do. I don't hate you now, but if you can make you happy now, I naturally want to advise you to be a good official."

Chen Jingyan was quiet for a long time. When Shi Li thought he would not answer, he heard him respond slightly: "Okay."

A smile flashed in Shi Li's eyes. Just as he was about to continue speaking, he heard him say: "There are a lot of things I have done before. Before becoming a good official, I need to take it a little first."

"...You are alert." Shi Li glanced at him speechlessly.

Since he has such strong anti-reconnaissance ability and looks quite talented in crime, she is not worried much. She just needs to stare at him personally when dealing with the matter of destroying mulberry farming.

"Madam, since I have promised you, I will naturally not breach the contract. You don't have to keep staring at me." Chen Jingyan was a little helpless.

Shi Li snorted and stood beside him with his arms in his arms: "No, I have to watch you finish this matter myself."

Chen Jingyan had no choice but to write a letter next to her. Shi Li leaned over and watched him finish the letter. He looked at him with concern several times. After confirming that the content was to give up this business, and there was no other mystery on the paper, she breathed a sigh of relief and handed the letter to him for stamping.

"Do you believe it now?" Chen Jingyan asked with a funny look.

Shi Li glanced at him: "It's okay, as long as you are obedient, I will believe it."

"Since that's the case, let's leave it to the servants to deliver it." Chen Jingyan said, and wanted to take the letter back.

Shi Li quickly took two steps back and looked at him with a vigilant look: "You think beautifully, don't think I don't know. After giving it to the servant, the servant will not give it to him. You just join forces to fool me."

"Then what do you think?" Chen Jingyan was helpless.

Shi Li thought for a while: "Where will I go and give it to you."

"Non-no, your grandmaster's wife, how can you do errands?" Chen Jingyan frowned.

Shi Liheng glanced at him: "I knew that you must be trying to lie to me."

Once you lose the trust, it will be difficult to establish again. Chen Jingyan sighed and finally compromised: "Okay, go and send it, I'll ask someone to go with you."

"Don't be too eye-catching. Just use the carriage that the servants usually sit in, and call the coachman. I'll come in person." Shi Li said his plan smoothly.

Chen Jingyan was amused and laughed: "You are too nervous."

"Who made you always disobedient?" Shi Li glanced at him, turned around and left with the letter.

In fact, it was not because Chen Jingyan was disobedient, but because the male protagonist in the original text received the help of the female protagonist from the female protagonist's mother's family and bribed the servants around Chen Jingyan and got the letters from Chen Jingyan's relationship with his subordinates.

In other words, the servant who delivered the letter may have been bribed. Although today's letter is to settle the matter, once it is taken into hand by the male protagonist, it becomes evidence to identify Chen Jingyan. She also thought of not leaving a letter to let Chen Jingyan meet directly with her subordinates. But thinking about Chen Jingyan, he doesn't know the subsequent plot. If she arranged this way, he might not be able to listen. Maybe he would doubt why she knew this.

Chen Jingyan pondered for a moment: "You are a woman, it's not good to see people like this. Why not do this? You bring a slave who is quite trustworthy and wait outside when the carriage arrives. How about asking the slave to deliver the letter?"

Shi Li thought about it and reluctantly agreed.

Chen Jingyan really arranged an inconspicuous carriage for her. Shi Li and the maid sat in the car, feeling quite satisfied, and felt that Chen Jingyan really had no intention of lying to her this time.

"Madam, what are we doing?" the maid asked in confusion.

Shi Li smiled and said, "Go and send something. When you arrive at the door later, you can just send it there."

"Oh." The maid nodded in confusion.

Shi Li was quite relieved about this maid, so she thought for a long time before she decided to bring her here. At that time, she would wait directly at the door. After the maid sent the letter, she would leave with her, and would not give the male protagonist a chance to contact her.

After planning, the two of them arrived at their destination soon-

A small dilapidated yard.

The maid entered the yard as directed by Shi Li. Shi Li sat in the carriage and waited, and secretly lifted the curtain of the car to look out. Sure enough, she saw someone patrolling around.

Shi Li became alert. After the maid came out of the room, the two walked home. I wonder if they didn't believe in their luck. Shi Li always felt that it was too easy to solve the problem. When he got home, he repeatedly asked Chen Jingyan: "Are you sure you just need to write a letter? Are you sure that it will be fine?"

"It's certainly okay." Although Chen Jingyan didn't know why she was so nervous about this matter, he still patiently comforted her.

Shi Li pursed her lips and said carefully for a while: "Why do you want someone to ask?"

"...It's really no need." Chen Jingyan was helpless.

Shi Li frowned. She didn't have to think about it. After all, the letter was handed to the yard by herself, and it should not fall into the hands of the male protagonist... And if it really falls into the hands of the male protagonist, she can't save it, so she can only think of other ways to save Chen Jingyan.

In short, he cannot be detained. Once he is detained, he will not be able to operate anymore. At that time, other crimes will be found by following the clues. Shi Li sighed and turned his head out, but was pulled by Chen Jingyan.

"There is something else?" Shi Li asked.

Chen Jingyan paused: "I got up in the middle of the night yesterday and didn't go down until dawn."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Shi Li was shocked.

Chen Jingyan pursed his lips: "The study room is too far from the bedroom..."

He said just one sentence and stopped talking. Shi Li narrowed his eyes, stared at him for a moment, and snorted softly: "Yes, then you'd better stop calling me in the future, just try to find a doctor." After she said that, she was about to turn around and leave.

Chen Jingyan frowned and blocked her way, looking at her with aggrieved look on her face: "My injuries have not healed yet."

"...The injury you just suffered yesterday will naturally not heal," Shi Li glanced at him speechlessly.

Chen Jingyan looked at her silently,

Shi Li's mouth twitched, and finally he felt soft: "I, I'm not honest when I sleep, you are injured again. What if I touch you?"

"I'm not afraid of pain." Chen Jingyan said immediately.
