The relationship is definitely a bit complicated, but Li Yu doesn't ask too many questions, listens more to other people's family affairs, speaks in a nice way, and just calls "Madam" and that's it.

"Haha, thank you sister-in-law. The food is enough. I don't want to drink wine... Hey, why are you still going to get it? You're so polite. Okay, madam, please be careful when you walk..."

Li Yu heard Yuan Huaimin's laughter and greeting coming from the lobby.

With a calm expression on his face, he washed his hands and turned back to the lobby.

As soon as Li Yu walked into the door, what he saw was a pretty girl blindfolded with a sky-blue ribbon. She carefully carried a pot of wine, groped her way back to the table, lowered her head and took the initiative to help Yuan Huaimin pour the wine, with a side face.

He was facing the door.

Li Yu seemed to have been cast a restraining spell, his footsteps were nailed to the door of the lobby. Ouyang Rong stepped forward and handed him a towel to wipe his hands, but he turned a deaf ear.

Ouyang Rong saw the slightly fat man's outer pupils shrink slightly.

He suddenly asked:

"What's wrong with Mr. Li?"

Li Yu suddenly woke up, first looked at Ouyang Rong, and then turned to look at Zhao Qingxiu and Yuan Huaimin.

After looking back and forth twice, he swallowed:

"No...nothing."

Ouyang Rong took a closer look at the slightly flustered Li Yu and asked softly:

"Is it really okay?"

"No, it's okay."

Li Yu quickly looked away, ran to sit down, and looked down at the food.

Zhao Qingxiu wore an apron, beat a bowl of rice and handed it to him.

Li Yu didn't look up, took it with a "hmm" in his mouth, and began to immerse himself in the rice.

Throughout the meal, he ate in a hurry, staring at the plate of Dongpo pork in front of him. After finishing the meal, he went to pick up another plate without stopping.

Say nothing.

Ouyang Rong took a look and felt that he didn't need to deal with these dishes. Brother Li could finish them.

Li Yu was a man of few words, but Yuan Huaimin didn't care.

Maybe there was a woman around, or maybe he noticed something unusual about her being blindfolded and silent. Yuan Huaimin didn't say much during the whole process. He didn't ask Ouyang Rong more at the dinner table. He just praised the girl's cooking from time to time.

tasty.

Zhao Qingxiu was so complimentary that she smiled happily. She listened to the movements in their bowls and judged whether they were empty or full, so she frequently filled their bowls with rice.

Yuan Huaimin waved his hand and declined, while Li Yu accepted every bowl. He just told Ouyang Rong that he didn't have a big appetite, which seemed to be modest.

Ouyang Rong smiled, and took a bite of food for Zhao Qingxiu. The two were sitting close to each other. Zhao Qingxiu was holding a bowl to eat, lowering her head to take a sip, and leaning slightly against Ouyang Rong, like a little daughter-in-law.

At this scene, Ling Yuan and Li couldn't help but look sideways.

Yuan Huaimin smiled and Li Yu licked his dry lips, quickly raised his glass, raised his head and drank it all.

Yuan Huaimin was stunned for a moment.

This is his wine glass because Ouyang Rong didn't pour wine for Li Yu.

Yuan Huaimin looked puzzled:

"Brother Yu, don't you drink? Every time I ask you to go to Xunyang Tower, you don't go. You say you don't drink alcohol and stay rational."

"Okay, good wine, haha, I'm happy today, why should I be rational?"

Li Yu's face turned red and he looked at Yuan Huaimin with a smile.

He didn't look at the young man in scholar's shirt and the blindfolded mute woman who looked up curiously opposite.

After a while, we were full of wine and food.

Yuan Huaimin and Li Yu were about to leave, and Ouyang Rong personally saw them off:

"Let's go, I'll see you off and take a walk by the way. Um, why is Brother Li so absent-minded today?"

"It's delicious, because it's delicious, little... Madam's food is delicious." Li Yu lowered his head and murmured, nodding with certainty.

"Really?" Ouyang Rong laughed.

"Yes!" Li Yu nodded vigorously, looking at the distant mountain scenery without looking at him.

"Then come back next time." Ouyang Rong nodded, and Li Yu swallowed.

Before the three of them went out, Zhao Qingxiu came to the door and gently pulled Ouyang Rong's sleeve.

Ouyang Rong was joking with Yuan Huaimin and Li Yu, and asked without looking back: "What's wrong?"

Zhao Qingxiu lowered her head and wrote on his palm: [Where is He Shengnan with raised sleeves, why aren't you at home?]

Ouyang Rong still had a joking smile on his face as he talked to Yuan Huaimin and Li Yu: "They have gone back and said they would come see you after a while."

Zhao Qingxiu tilted her head slightly: "Oh."

Immediately, she seemed to think of what the three of them had arranged together in the morning, and she lowered her head slightly.

Before Ouyang Rong left, he rubbed her head with his big hand:

"Wait for me at Xiu Niang's house. I'll see them off and I'll be back later."

"Um."

Zhao Qingxiu smiled lightly, stood on tiptoes, and straightened his collar.

Not far outside the door, Li Yu couldn't help but look back at the two people who were deeply in love. His eyes fell on the sweet smile on the cheek of the blindfolded mute girl. The fat man turned his head and took a deep breath.

After a while, Zhao Qingxiu, who could not see clearly, watched the three people off at the door.

After they left, Zhao Qingxiu stood quietly for a while, raised her hands, and groped forward to return to the courtyard.

Without the Fang sisters, the courtyard became completely quiet.

She didn't clear the dining table and wash the dishes, but walked straight to the main room.

Zhao Qingxiu came to a closet in a corner, opened it skillfully, and took out a sword wrapped deeply in gray cloth from the bottom of the box.

Zhao Qingxiu was quiet for a moment and drew out her long sword.

The deep light that belongs exclusively to bronze fills the dark room.

If Ouyang Rong were present, he would find that the blade of this long sword was entirely made of blood bronze.

The materials and bronze texture are more exaggerated than those previous bronze daggers.

Moreover, the blood bronze material that made up the blade of this long sword was slightly different from all the Yunmeng Tokens he had captured before.

There were large areas of dark red spots on it, as if they were splattered with the blood of some unknown creature.

The suspected dried blood spots match the deep texture of bronze itself.

Ancient and cold.

It's like a bloody ritual vessel used by the priests of the human tribe in ancient times who had just finished the human sacrifice ceremony.

It either pleases the beasts or the gods.
