Chapter 240 Confusion is not an excuse to make mistakes

   Facing Qiao Zhao's calm and clear eyes, Li Hui was silent.

   When things came to an end, I realized that many words could not be opened.

   But there are a lot of words, even if there is no place to be ashamed, it is still to be said.

"Third sister, I... I came to apologize to you on behalf of the eldest sister. The person who injured Jia Shu, the youngest son of Changchun, was actually... the eldest sister..." After speaking intermittently, Li Hui raised his eyes to look at Qiao Zhao, but found that the girl was still there. His face was calm.

   "Three sisters?"

  Qiao Zhao smiled: "I know."

   "You know?" Li Hui looked surprised.

   "Yeah, I know, but I just knew it."

   Li Hui sweated on his forehead and his face became even hotter.

   It turns out that the third sister knows.

  Standing in the West Cross Courtyard, for a moment, he wanted to retreat.

   Big sister is right, once the third sister finds out, their sisterhood is likely to be gone. And as long as he keeps silent, as if nothing has happened, the eldest sister will not be confused in the future, then everyone will be the same as before.

  However, how can it be considered that it never happened?

   His conscience made him unable to overcome this hurdle.

   At this moment, Li Hui was glad to confess, otherwise, in the hearts of the third sisters, how despicable they were.

   "Why didn't eldest sister come?" Qiao Zhao asked calmly.

  Li Hui was stopped.

   He cannot tell a lie; he cannot tell the truth.

   "Third brother, there are some things that others can't do for you. I think apology is one of them."

   "Third sister, the eldest sister was confused for a while."

   "Being confused for a while?" Qiao Zhao smiled, "During this year's Huachao Festival, the eldest sister lost me by being confused for a while, and everyone knew that she was confused for a while. Are you still making me a scapegoat for being confused for a while?"

   "Three sisters—"

Qiao Zhao's tone was still flat, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him: "Do you know what happened to me after I was kidnapped? You don't seem to have asked me the details, are you afraid that I will be sad when I recall the past? "

  Li Hui trembled.

  Qiao Zhao turned his gaze to the window lattice covered with green gauze, on which the shadows of her and Li Hui were cast.

   "The third brother knows that I am not a good-natured person. How could I be willing to fall into the hands of the traffickers. I ran away again and again and was caught again. Every time I came back, does the third brother know how the traffickers would teach me a lesson?"

  Li Hui pursed his lips tightly, his palms wet with sweat.

The girl's cold voice seemed to come from the sky: "In February in the south, the willow trees on both sides of the road have already pulled out their branches. He will break the willow branches and hit me on the back. He said, the willows are thin, and it hurts when you pull on people. No scars. I refuse to accept my fate and continue to run, he will starve me and make me unable to escape. The third brother must not know the feeling of being hungry? It seems like a fire is burning in my stomach, burning every inch of me The skin is sore-"

   "Sanmei, stop talking, don't talk!" Li Hui turned pale, hugged Qiao Zhao, cold sweat rolled down from his forehead, and fell between Qiao Zhao's thick hair.

  Qiao Zhao's ears were slightly hot and he pushed Li Hui away.

  Although they are real brothers and sisters now, but after all, they have not grown up together since childhood. Compared with their elder brother Qiao Mo, they are still different.

   The words had already started, but Qiao Zhao didn't stop: "I didn't dare to run away later, because I might really die if I run away again."

  Yes, little girl Li Zhao, just died like this.

  Li Zhao, the little girl, no matter how coquettish and self-willed, she has never done anything heinous.

   But she died just like that, and those who hated her were nothing more than those who hated her, but the one who loved her deeply, Bi He, would never know where her beloved daughter had long since disappeared.

   "The third brother doesn't like me before, right? Willful and charming. But all the sensible ones grow up because they know it hurts."

   "Sanmei, I will protect you in the future, I promise." Li Hui dared not look at his sister's clear and bright eyes.

   He always felt that his former sister died and was reborn, but he no longer needed their compensation.

   "I will tell my grandmother about the eldest sister." Qiao Zhao said calmly.

  Li Hui was startled.

   In his initial plan, he wanted the eldest sister to apologize to the third sister, and said it privately, so that the two sisters can get along well in the future.

   He believed that after the eldest sister apologized to the third sister, the third sister would not make trouble with the elders, and it was considered to save the eldest sister's face.

   But at this moment, after listening to what the third sister said, the objection could not be uttered.

   "Thank you third brother for visiting me. It's late at night, third brother should go back and rest early."

   Qiao Zhao did not ask Li Hui if he would blame her.

  What should be said has been said, if Li Hui can't figure it out, it is useless to let her tongue shine like a lotus flower.

   "Sanmei don't read books, it hurts your eyes."

  Li Hui walked out of the West Crossing Courtyard, and was still confused until he returned to his room.

   "Young Master, you've come back, my little worry is dead."

   "Get me hot water, I want to take a bath."

   "Hey." The servant Qingji responded, ran in and took out a white jade box and handed it to Li Hui.

"what is this?"

   "The cloud cream was sent by my wife. It was said that the son fell and was used to smear the wound. Son, where did you fall? Let the little one see!"

  Li Hui held the cloud cream, and his heart was inexplicable.

   The next day, the men in the house should go to the yamen, and the women who should go to school would go to the Qingsongtang to greet Mrs. Deng.

   Li Jiao didn't sleep well all night. He put a boiled egg on his eyes and smeared a thick layer of fat powder to cover his dark circles. He came to Qingsongtang early.

   "Jiao'er came early today."

   "It's hot and I can't lie down, so why don't I come to accompany my grandmother early." Li Jiao smiled sweetly, coaxing the old lady with ease.

   She is a little unsure of the third brother's mind now. The third brother asked her to think about it. Shouldn't she have to apologize to Li San?

  Fortunately, the third brother went to Guozijian early in the morning, and if he slowed down this day, his anger might be over. By then, no matter how good she is to talk about it, this matter should be over.

   It is absolutely impossible for her to apologize to Reizan. Who is Li San, after knowing the truth, everyone will know.

  The people who came to greet you one after another.

   Mrs. Deng glanced around and asked Mrs He, "Where's Zhaozhao?"

   Yesterday, Zhaozhao used a silver needle to cure the fool.

  He looked blank: "Daughter-in-law doesn't know either, did she oversleep?"

  The second wife, Mrs. Liu, bowed her head and laughed.

   This big sister-in-law, she is really convinced, how can she give birth to a smart person like the three girls?

   "Three girls are here." The maid Qingyun who was standing at the door shouted.

  Qiao Zhao walked in, greeted the elders, and glanced at Li Jiao.

  Li Jiao had an ominous premonition inexplicably.

   "Three girls don't look very good, didn't sleep well yesterday?" Madam Deng asked.

   "The granddaughter didn't sleep well. Grandma, I know who is the real murderer who injured Uncle Changchun's young son!"
