Chapter 229 A rare leisure
Patriarch Li smiled slightly, pulled Aunt Hong into his arms, and said softly, "Master, I didn't go out to discuss business this time, but I found a rare and good thing."
"That treasure is really rare in the world. When I have prepared it, I will definitely let my matchmaker open her eyes."
As expected, upon hearing the word "treasure", Aunt Hong's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately pestered Patriarch Li and kept asking him questions. "Master, what exactly is this treasure? Tell me about it quickly."
She said in a delicate voice, her face full of eagerness and desire.
At this moment, she completely forgot about the idea of finding out the whereabouts of the head of the Li family.
Of course, it was mainly because Aunt Hong had always been smooth sailing in the Li family and had never suffered any setbacks. She never expected that the head of the Li family had carefully made up a huge lie to deceive her.
Her heart and eyes were filled with the so-called treasure, so she had no time to care about anything else.
On the other hand, although the face of the head of the Li family was full of smiles, his eyes did not show that there was deep calculation and indifference hidden in that smile.
However, Aunt Hong, who was a spy, did not notice this subtle abnormality at all.
She was so immersed in her fantasy about her baby that she completely ignored the flaw in the expression of the head of the Li family.
Perhaps her life in the Li family was too smooth, so she lost her due vigilance and sensitivity. Her negligence doomed her to a tragic end.
Chu Ci, who was lying on the beam above the head of the Li family, carefully lowered his voice and said, "Okay, there's nothing to see anymore, shall we go?"
Fan Jingrui had no objection. He glanced at Chu Ci sharply and could sense that Chu Ci was in a low mood at the moment.
Therefore, after leaving the Li family's territory and walking on the somewhat deserted streets, Fan Jingrui finally couldn't help but ask, "Madam, are you worried about that concubine Hong?"
Chu Ci heard this and stared at Fan Jingrui fiercely as if he was a fool. He said unhappily, "What nonsense are you talking about! Do I have a serious illness that I should worry about a spy whose background I don't know?"
Fan Jingrui was not annoyed, and still had a gentle expression on his face. He asked patiently: "If it's not the case, then why did you become so depressed after seeing how Master Li treated Aunt Hong?"
"Is there some hidden secret that I haven't thought of?"
Chu Ci: Can she say that she saw in Aunt Hong many women who ruined their well-planned plans because they fell in love?
Chu Ci shook his head gently and said slowly: "No, I just suddenly thought, why can't people like Aunt Hong live a peaceful and stable life? They have to risk everything they have to gamble on that tiny one in ten thousand possibility."
Upon hearing this, Fan Jingrui looked solemn, sighed heavily, and said with emotion: "Perhaps, they are already deeply trapped in the quagmire of life!"
"Everything I experienced afterwards was beyond my control. In this complicated world, how many people can truly control their own destiny?"
Chu Ci was silent for a long time after hearing this, with a slightly annoyed look on his face, and then he slowly said, "Would you like to have a drink when we get home?"
When Fan Jingrui heard this, a smile flashed across his eyes, and then he responded gently: "Okay, my wife, I will accompany you as your husband."
So, under the bright night light, the eldest prince, the fifth prince, Qianxue and Qianyan quietly hid in the corner, staring closely at Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui who were drinking in the yard.
"What did they see when they went out that they came back to oppose such fine wine?" The Fifth Prince smelled the aroma of the fine wine and pulled Qianxue, who had been wanting to go over to persuade him to drink, and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Qianxue gave a fake smile and said, "Do you think I know? Your Highness Prince Qin, instead of asking me, why not ask Fifteen who is by my sister-in-law's side? Maybe she knows something."
Before the Fifth Prince could respond, the First Prince nodded and said, "That makes sense."
After saying that, he took big steps and walked straight to Chu Ci and his wife. "Princess Yi Xin always carries such good wine with her? Would you mind treating me to a few drinks?"
Chu Ci did not answer, then quickly took out a crystal glass, slowly filled it with white wine, and then made a gesture of invitation with a smile.
Seeing this, the eldest prince could not wait to take a sip. However, he showed a little disappointment on his face, shook his head and said: "This wine is refreshing and fragrant, but not mellow enough. It does not suit my taste."
Chu Ci did not answer the eldest prince's words, but turned to the three people who were still lingering in the corner and said loudly: "Don't just stand there, come and have a taste?"
After saying this, without waiting for the three to react, Chu Ci poured each of them a glass.
Seeing this, the three of them no longer hesitated and simply walked from the corner to the stone table, each holding up a wine glass.
"It has a refreshing taste and a citrus scent. I like it." Qianxue loved it as soon as she took a sip.
Although Qianyan didn't act so exaggerated, she nodded repeatedly to show her agreement. But what she was concerned about was: "Sister-in-law, is this a new variety developed by the Women's College, or was it specially prepared for this trip to the Li family?"
Chu Ci heard this, gently tapped Qian Yan's head, and said angrily: "You are so young. Why do you always think so much?"
Although Chu Ci said so, Qian Yan still insisted on getting an answer, and even Qian Xue stared at Chu Ci with an eager look on her face.
Chu Ci sighed helplessly: "No, it's just that my sister-in-law is thinking about the tense nerves these days, and suddenly wants to have a few drinks to relax. Your eldest brother is just risking his life to accompany a gentleman."
After hearing Chu Ci's answer, even the first and fifth princes were a little stunned. The fifth prince asked suspiciously, "Is that all?"
"What else?" Seeing their obvious disbelief, Chu Ci couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "I also brought a bottle of fine wine. Would you like to try it?"
Everyone could see that Chu Ci was in high spirits and in high spirits at the moment, so they agreed to Chu Ci's request.
This time, Chu Ci took out the famous Maotai from her previous life. She said solemnly, "One cup, or at most two cups. Otherwise, it's easy to mess things up."
This really piqued the interest of several people. Even Qianxue and Qianyan were eager to try it, but were stopped by Chu Ci.
"It's easy to get drunk if you mix them together, so don't do anything rash, you two girls. If you're really interested, I'll give each of you a new bottle later."
Qianxue and Qianyan's eyes sparkled as they said in unison, "Okay."
But the fifth prince refused to accept this and shouted, "I want one too."
The eldest prince followed closely behind, and just as he was about to speak, Chu Ci interrupted him: "I don't have much of this wine, and it's a one-of-a-kind product in the world. How much silver do you two princes plan to pay?"
