Chapter 256 I'm here to accept the appointment
As early as when they were on the covered bridge, Shen Li had been paying attention secretly. When she found something wrong, she used her Qinggong skills to catch Su Zhihui who was about to fall into the water at an extremely fast speed.
Shen Li grabbed the person by the waist and flew to the shore. Su Zhihui's face, which had been rosy just now, turned pale, and it was obvious that she was very scared.
The ladies on the covered bridge were also frightened. They stood there not daring to move, but their eyes were fixed on the two of them.
Seeing this, Jiang Yining secretly said what a pity, then ran to the shore with a concerned look on his face, and did not forget to remind the ladies beside him to be careful not to slip.
"never mind!"
Su Zhihui hugged Shen Li's waist tightly and refused to let go. Dong Shuang was frightened to death and ran over from the corridor bridge. She sent the maid to inform the lady and the master.
"Miss, how are you?"
Jiang Yining also ran over, "Cousin, are you okay? You accidentally slipped while walking. If it weren't for Miss Shen, you would have fallen into the lake today and you would be in trouble."
It seemed like she was concerned, but in fact she was classifying the incident as an accident. Shen Li looked at her meaningfully.
Jiang Yining was startled. He had acted very secretly just now. Could he have been noticed?
No, that's not right. Miss Shen was at the back and should not have been able to see anything. I was just being too nervous.
Su Zhihui forced herself to come back to her senses from her fear and let go of the hand that was holding Shen Li, but her face was still very pale.
Looking at the ladies running to her, Yingying bowed and said, "My apologies, ladies. I am sorry for not hosting you well today. I will invite you to come to my house another day."
These young ladies were not stupid. When they heard this, they understood that today's banquet was over. They all said goodbye, and the Winter Frost Alliance sent someone down to make arrangements.
When these young ladies left, they kept looking at Shen Li.
I originally thought she was a country girl, but I didn't expect she was actually a martial artist, and it seemed like she was pretty good at it.
Which young lady who grew up in the boudoir has not admired the chivalrous men in the martial arts world? Now that there is a living one in front of her, she naturally wants to take a few more glances.
Su Zhihui glanced at Jiang Yining coldly, then pulled Shen Li to the corridor bridge and found a bead where she had just fallen.
Jiang Yining's pupils shrank sharply. What happened? Didn't she just kick the beads into the lake?
Why was it picked up by Su Zhihui?
Shen Li raised her eyebrows slightly. Of course she had to thank herself. She had worked so hard to fish the pearl out of the lake!
Shen Li could feel that Su Zhihui's hand was trembling as she held hers, so she held her hand slightly and transferred a trace of wood-type power into her body.
Su Zhihui felt cool all over, and her tense body felt a little more comfortable. She looked at Shen Li with gratitude.
"Ali, thank you for today."
"We are friends, there is no need to talk about this."
As soon as Shen Li finished speaking, she saw a group of people running towards her in a hurry.
"Ahui!"
"mother!"
Su Zhihui ran towards her mother, and until she smelled the familiar scent on her body, the tears that had been held back for a long time finally flowed down her eyes.
Father Su and Su Heng were standing behind her. They relaxed slightly after seeing that their daughter/sister was fine. Then the father and son gave Shen Li a grateful look.
They had already heard about what had just happened. If it hadn't been for Miss Shen, what would have been the consequences if Ah Hui had fallen into the water? They didn't dare to imagine.
Su Heng bowed to Shen Li and said, "Miss Shen, today is all thanks to you."
Shen Li smiled slightly, "Ahui and I are friends, Master Su, you don't have to be so polite."
Su Heng nodded with a smile, "I am a classmate of your fourth brother. Miss Shen, you can call me Brother Su from now on."
"it is good."
Shen Li also realized that the Su family was going to settle the score. As an outsider, it was not convenient for her to stay here any longer, so she took the initiative to say goodbye.
"Master Su, Brother Su, Madam Su, I'll be leaving first."
"Okay, I'll invite Miss Shen to visit me some other day."
Su Zhihui raised her face from her mother's arms. Her little face was all red from crying and her eyes were as red as a little rabbit's.
Choking with sobs, he said, "Ali, I'll come and play with you another day."
Shen Li nodded, "Okay, I'll go first."
"Ah."
The maidservant beside her took Shen Li away. After she was far away, Su Zhihui said in a choked voice: "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, someone deliberately dropped a bead next to me, so I fell down."
……
Shen Li sat in the carriage, thinking about what happened in the garden just now. If she hadn't been there, Su Zhihui would have fallen into the water, which would definitely affect the marriage proposal no matter what.
Of course, this is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that it is winter now and the lake water is cold. Falling into the water will definitely affect future fertility.
Ahui's cousin is young and looks gentle, but she is actually harboring evil intentions. Today's incident was probably caused by Ahui's marriage in the capital.
Before anything was decided, wolves, tigers and leopards were attracted. It turned out that no one in the backyard of the mansion was simple.
However, Ah Hui's family seemed to be sensible and loved their daughter, and they would not let today's matter go so easily.
Shen Li went there to take half a day off. Although it was already winter, there was a charcoal basin in the store and business was still good.
There was no need to buy charcoal, as Shen Changshan and Shen Jingyuan started burning charcoal before the weather got cold.
Now I have rented a small shop in the city selling charcoal. I have both cheap and expensive ones. Business is pretty good. So far, I have earned five thousand taels of silver.
Shen Li had just arrived at the gate of Banrixian and got off the carriage when she felt a burning gaze lingering on her. She even looked in the direction and was stunned for a moment.
The man who came was tall, and compared to two years ago, he looked more mature and restrained. He was like a sheathed sword, his edge was restrained, but his aura was even more powerful.
Seeing Shen Li looking at him, his eyes sparkled and a smile bloomed on his face, as if ice and snow were melting. He raised his foot and walked towards Shen Li.
Why is he here!
"Ali, I'm here to keep my appointment."
His tone was gentle, with some temptation in his voice.
Shen Li came back to her senses and walked into the store first. He didn't make a fuss and followed her upstairs happily.
People who didn't know him wanted to greet him, but Bai Yao stopped them, "He's the host's guest, no need to greet him."
"Yes."
Tianqing behind him was very tactful and did not follow.
"Ayao, bring up some food."
"Okay, boss."
She put down the abacus in her hand, walked to the backyard, picked up a few cakes and delivered them.
Shen Li took the person directly to her office on the third floor and took off her cloak when she entered.
Pei Yu looked around, pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down.
"What appointment have you come for?"
