Chapter 140 Bridal Chamber Flowers and Candles
After leaving Liu Haizhong's house, Li Shengli took Han Qiuyun to other people's homes in the backyard.

At the deaf old lady's place, Li Shengli put down his things, introduced Han Qiuyun and left.

"Shengli, that old lady is so old, she looks even older than grandma." Han Qiuyun still has a good impression of the elderly.

"She is older than grandma, but you should pay attention to what she says in the future." Li Shengli did not dissuade Han Qiuyun from associating with the deaf old lady. Han Qiuyun also had her own judgment. Li Shengli did not marry Han Qiuyun to make Han Qiuyun obey him.

"What's wrong?" Han Qiuyun was curious now. Because of Old Mrs. Han, Han Qiuyun had a filter for the elderly.

"The old lady in the backyard is a smart person. She treats Master Yi and Master He like her own children and grandchildren. Master He hasn't even married yet, and you'll be a capable and beautiful daughter-in-law." Li Shengli praised Han Qiuyun with a raised smile.

"Victory!" Han Qiuyun said shyly.

Then Li Shengli brought Han Qiuyun to Xu Damao's house. As usual, he presented the things in his hands and talked to Xu Damao with Han Qiuyun, Lou Xiaoe and others.

Han Qiuyun looked at the boastful Xu Damao with some displeasure on her face. Li Shengli frowned when he saw Xu Damao bragging about himself in front of his wife. When he saw Han Qiuyun also frowning, he interrupted Xu Damao.

"Okay, Xu Damao, I'm not here to listen to you bragging about yourself."

Seeing that Li Shengli was getting a little impatient, as if he was afraid that Li Shengli would tell others about what happened in the countryside, Xu Damao stopped talking.

Li Shengli glanced at Xu Damao coldly. How could Li Shengli not know what Xu Damao was planning? He was a playboy with dirty thoughts but no courage.

"Lou Xiao'e, you have to take care of Xu Damao. I don't know if he said the same thing to the young widow in the countryside." Li Shengli said to Lou Xiao'e in a sarcastic tone.

After hearing this, Lou Xiao'e understood that Li Shengli was trying to flatter her. However, what Li Shengli said was true. Lou Xiao'e herself had seen Xu Damao bragging about himself in front of a young widow. Moreover, she had not been able to conceive for such a long time, so Lou Xiao'e felt a little insecure.

"Xu Damao!" Lou Xiao'e's tone changed and became stern.

"Ezi, listen to my excuses, bah, listen to my explanation, don't listen to Li Shengli's nonsense." Xu Damao glared at Li Shengli and quickly argued with Lou Xiao'e.

Li Shengli glanced at Xu Damao with disdain and pulled Han Qiuyun back home. Today was an important day and he must not let Xu Damao, this rotten apple, ruin his mood.

After returning home and having dinner, Li Shengli told Han Qiuyun everything about his relationship with the people in the courtyard.

"Qiuyun, you have to be more careful. We should just treat the people in this yard as ordinary neighbors. When you have nothing to do, go back and spend more time with your grandma." Li Shengli instructed Han Qiuyun.

"So what are the things we should pay attention to in this courtyard?" Han Qiuyun asked Li Shengli about how everyone in the courtyard behaved.

"You can't make close friends with the three uncles in the yard." Li Shengli straightened his face. "The third uncle in the front yard, Yan Bugui, is the most calculating. If you lend him something, he will ask you to pay. Last time, he broke my bicycle. I was so angry at that time."

"You are angry because of him." Han Qiuyun wondered if there was any misunderstanding. There was no need to be so angry just because the bicycle was broken.

"You don't understand. He has his own bicycle. He used my bicycle to carry heavy things. He was reluctant to use his own bicycle. He broke my bicycle and didn't even apologize." Li Shengli shook his head and told Han Qiuyun everything Yan Bugui had done. Han Qiuyun opened her mouth in surprise. "The old woman in the middle court is not a good person either. She likes to gossip. You don't have to pay attention to her. If she scolds you, tell me and I'll beat her up."

"Her daughter-in-law is called Qin Huairu. Her husband died two years ago. She likes to cry poor and borrow things everywhere, and often never returns the borrowed things. You should ignore her. I never see anyone in her family." Li Shengli told Han Qiuyun about all the conflicts between himself and the Jia family. Han Qiuyun nodded to show that she had listened to him.

"As for the eldest uncle in the middle court, Yi Zhonghai, there's nothing much to say about him. It's just that he and his wife have no children, and now they are considering the issue of retirement." Li Shengli didn't want to say more about Yi Zhonghai, but just told Han Qiuyun to think about it. "The second uncle in the back yard is easier to say. This man is obsessed with being an official. He will do anything to get an official position. You have to be careful."

"Why do I feel that there are no good people in your compound?" After listening to Li Shengli's analysis, Han Qiuyun couldn't help but shiver.

"Oh, don't be afraid, I'm here." Li Shengli couldn't help but hugged Han Qiuyun when he saw her frightened look. Han Qiuyun hid in Li Shengli's arms and didn't struggle.

"Qiuyun, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early." The two hugged each other for a while. Li Shengli looked at the sky and saw that it was already dark. He said to Han Qiuyun with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah." Han Qiuyun shyly hid her face in Li Shengli's arms.

Li Shengli couldn't bear it any longer. He opened his mouth and kissed Han Qiuyun, while his hands also started to move rashly.

After a long while, Li Shengli let Han Qiuyun go. Seeing Han Qiuyun panting, he couldn't help but get excited. Li Shengli stretched out his hands, held Han Qiuyun in his arms like a princess, walked quickly to the bed in three or two steps, and put Han Qiuyun on the bed. When he was about to continue, Li Shengli suddenly felt something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Shengli?" Han Qiuyun felt that Li Shengli had stopped moving, and asked in a daze with hazy eyes.

"Shh." Li Shengli raised his index finger to his mouth and gestured to Han Qiuyun, pointing to his own window. Han Qiuyun nodded blankly, and although she didn't know why, she still listened to Li Shengli and stopped talking.

Li Shengli picked up the unpoured footbath water from his evening footbath, tiptoed to the window, quietly opened it, and outside the window lay Ma Jianshe, Yan Jiecheng, and two young men from the backyard.

Seeing Li Shengli open the window, several people looked at Li Shengli with a flattering smile. Li Shengli also smiled slightly. Just when several people thought that the matter was over, Li Shengli brought a foot basin from behind and poured out the water.

Several people screamed and dodged, but did not completely avoid them. Seeing their embarrassed looks, Li Shengli was satisfied. He closed the windows, drew the curtains, and returned to the bed to continue his actions.

There is a poem saying:

Last night, the crabapple blossoms first saw the rain, and a few of them seemed to be graceful and seemed to speak.

The beautiful lady got up early in the morning and came out of the orchid room, she put on her make-up in front of the mirror.

When I asked my lover whether flowers were beautiful or my slave’s face was beautiful, my lover replied that she was not as graceful as flowers.

The beautiful lady became angry when she heard what was said, and she didn't believe that a dead flower could be better than a living person.

I will crush the flowers and throw them in front of you, and ask you to sleep with them tonight.
