C324 Fear
Liu Zhimo reached out his hands to cover Li Qingling's eyes, allowing her to sleep.
Li Qingling blinked twice. Those long eyelashes brushed against the palm of Liu Zhimo's hand, causing him to feel a numbing sensation in the palm of his hand, numbing it to the core.
"You haven't told me!"
"If you don't want to sleep, then let's do something meaningful, okay?" He let go of her eyes, leaned close to her ear, blew into her ear, and said with a faint smile.
Something meaningful?
His hint was so obvious that she did not understand that he was a pig head.
She covered herself with the quilt and said she was going to sleep.
Liu Zhimo smiled lovingly, extended his hand and took off the blanket that was covering her head, "Don't be bored." He reached across her neck, took her in his arms, and patted her lightly on the back.
Li Qingling thought that he wouldn't be able to sleep, but unexpectedly, not long after, she fell asleep.
After waking up, it was almost time for dinner.
She helplessly knocked her head. She had just fallen asleep today. Seriously ..
She crawled out of bed and quickly washed up. When she opened the door, she saw Xi Chun sitting at the entrance, flushed red and softly called out.
Xi Chun turned her head and saw Li Qingling. She immediately stood up and greeted him as Madam.
Li Qingling smiled at her and asked if she had started eating yet.
"Not yet, I'm waiting for you!"
"Then let's hurry up and leave!" Hearing that, Li Qingling walked towards the dining hall, and found another room for his family to eat in, where they would normally eat together.
When they were at the Xue Mansion, they also ate together. It was only when they arrived at the Liu Family that they ate separately.
The Liu Family was a big family with many people. It was not possible for them to have a meal together and there would be conflicts. It would be better for them to have their own food.
They opened a small kitchen in their yard. They opened their own fire during the days they stayed at the Liu Family. No matter what they wanted to eat, they didn't need to go to the big kitchen.
"Did anyone come to see me today?"
Xi Chun shook her head and said, No.
Hearing that, Li Qingling heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily no one came to find her, otherwise others would think that she, Magistrate's Wife, was too lazy to sleep for the whole day.
Li Qingling asked about the Xi Chun family's matters, and after hearing it, he felt that there were no problems, so he nodded his head.
The family's population was simple, and they only had this bit of benefit. There was no need to deal with so many trivial matters, nor would there be any conflicts.
"Did you get the vegetable seed I ordered Nian Xia to buy yesterday back? Tomorrow, I plan to open up a few fields of vegetables. "
"I bought it, I bought it in the afternoon, I bought all kinds of vegetable seed." Xi Chun answered, "Madam, didn't Mrs. Hu say that she wanted to give the vegetable seed to you? Why do you want to buy more? "
Li Qingling laughed and said, he could not just rely on her, it would be better to buy some for himself.
She would not place all her hopes on someone else, but on a stranger.
She liked to take the initiative.
Xi Chun thoughtfully nodded her head. As she was by her wife's side, she could unknowingly learn many things she had never learned before.
Although Madame was still young, she was still very steady. No matter what she did, it was always organized and convincing.
She had followed Madame all her life, wherever she went, where she went.
Li Qingling glanced at Xi Chun, and then said a few words to order her.
With just two simple sentences, Xi Chun had become enlightened. She smiled and thanked the Madam for her guidance.
Li Qingling waved his hand. She was Da Yahuan, who was by her side.
"Xi Chun, are you 17 this year? Have you taken a fancy to anyone? If you see anyone you like, just tell me and I'll make the decision for you. "
As she talked about this topic, Xi Chun's face flushed red. She stuttered that she didn't, and after a while, she also said that she didn't want to get married, and wanted to stay by her side.
"How can we not get married?" Li Qingling looked at her disapprovingly, "Even if you are married, you can always stay by my side."
She was happy, and she wanted to make those around her happy.
Xi Chun lowered her head, her expression in a daze, she had really never thought of getting married.
She didn't want to live a life of compromise with a man like her mother.
She remembered early in the morning and clearly remembered what life she had in that house before her mother gave birth to her brother.
Her grandmother always called her mother a hens that did not lay eggs, and her father would always hit and kick her mother whenever he was unhappy.
Her mother cooked the most in that family and ate the least. She was in her twenties and forcefully became an old woman in her forties.
It wasn't until later, when he had a son, that he felt better.
She didn't have a good day in that family, and after that, she was sold by her father.
It was also because of her good luck that she met Madam Ye. Otherwise, who knew where she would have been sold off to? What kind of life would he live?
Based on all of this, she didn't have the slightest intention of getting married. She was afraid that she would also live her life like her mother.
Li Qingling turned around and took another glance at Xi Chun, and when she thought about the situation in his family, she frowned: "Xi Chun, do you think that I am happy with an adult?" The marriage situation of her parents at home had a huge impact on her children. It was just like how Xi Chun was frightened by her parents' marriage and didn't dare to get married anymore, afraid that she would be as unlucky as her mother.
Since she was destined to become a master and servant, she had to think of a way to pull her out of her fear.
Hearing Li Qingling's question, Xi Chun came back to reality and nodded her head heavily to say how happy she was.
As servants, they could feel the love between them.
Sometimes, when she saw that Madam was so happy with an adult, she was also a little envious. She couldn't help but wonder if she would ever meet someone as good to her in her entire life.
However, when this thought surfaced in her mind, she immediately denied it. She wasn't so lucky to be able to meet such a good person.
Since that was the case, he might as well not marry and stay by his wife's side to serve her for the rest of his life.
The Madam was so kind, she definitely would not treat her unfairly.
Li Qingling said sincerely: "There are thousands of feelings, and every person's emotional encounters are different. You have to know, not everyone is like your father, and not everyone will be like your mother. Pausing, he continued, "Are you as useless as your mother, unable to protect your child?"
She felt that Xi Chun's mother was too useless. Not only had she suffered, she had also caused her child to suffer grievances.
If it were her, who would dare treat her child badly? She was risking her life to seek justice.
Although her mother's personality was also soft, she was good to her siblings, and would not be like Xi Chun's mother, who would allow others to bully Xi Chun as they pleased.
This kind of mother, was she really ..
"No, if I had a child, I wouldn't... I won't let her feel so wronged. " Xi Chun suddenly raised his head, and answered loudly.
She would never let her children go her way.
Furthermore, she wouldn't be so useless as her mother, who was bullied yet didn't dare to make a sound.
Hearing her loud reply, Li Qingling laughed and waved his hands, saying, "Then that's fine, what are you afraid of? Besides, with me as your strong backing, who would dare bully you?
Madame...
Xi Chun's lips trembled slightly, her eyes filled with tears. She hurriedly lowered her head, and tears rolled down her cheeks. No one had ever told her these words, not even her mother.
What virtue did she have to make his wife treat her like this?
She .. She could meet Madame, really. It really was .. It took all the luck of her life.
Hearing the sound of sobbing coming from behind him, Li Qingling smiled helplessly, wasn't it just a few ordinary words? Was there a need to be so touched?
She stopped and patted Xi Chun's shoulders lightly, telling him not to cry anymore. If she continued to cry, people would think that she was the one bullying her.
Xi Chun took out the kerchief, gently wiped the tears off her face, and raised her head to look at Li Qingling, "Madam, Xi Chun's life belongs to Madam, in the future .."
"Don't .." Li Qingling raised his hand, interrupting Xi Chun: "Your life belongs to you, it doesn't belong to anyone, do you understand?" She lightly patted Xi Chun's face and turned his legs, continuing to walk forward.
There wasn't much she could do, nor could she change this era. She could only change the people around her.
For example, she never let the servants in her family call themselves servants, and never let them kneel without any hesitation.
She wanted them to change their servility, to be more confident, to live like humans.
She had also said that if they wanted to leave this place in the future, she would release them at any time.
Xi Chun looked at Li Qingling's back figure, bit his lower lip, and quickly followed.
She secretly swore in her heart that she would never betray Madam in her life and would protect Madam. Even if she had to risk her life, she would not refuse.
It was worth it for her to meet a master who was so good to her in this life.
Li Qingling didn't know that her words had made him even more determined to kill her.
If she knew, she would only smile helplessly.
"Sister, you finally woke up?" The moment Li Qingling walked into the dining hall, when Li Qingning saw her, he began to mutter loudly, "Elder sister, are you sick? "Why did you sleep so long?" Every time she asked her brother-in-law, he always said that her sister was sleeping.
She ran in front of Li Qingling to make him kneel down. Worried, she reached out and touched Li Qingling's forehead, wanting to see if her forehead was hot or not.
Li Qingling lightly patted Li Qingning's head and said with a smile, don't worry! Big sister is not sick!
Li Qingning also felt that Li Qingling's temperature was normal, she giggled, and said that it was good that he was not sick, if he was sick, she would have to eat some bitter medicine.
Li Qingling carried Li Qingning and placed her back onto her chair, allowing her to sit properly so he could prepare to eat.
The smile on Mr. Luo's face could not be hidden no matter how he looked at him. It seemed that not too long from now, he would be able to find a suitable place to hug such a soft and moe grandson and granddaughter.
