Chapter 268 Yue Weiwei was full of doubts. Could it be that someone did it on purpose?
Nanny Li also saw it, and her joy was beyond words.
Yue lowered her head slightly to avoid Li Hengan's gaze, then caught a glimpse of Nanny Li's expression.
Tremendous stress!
"Madame Li, please make some tea. I'm going to take a walk in the yard."
Yue Weiwei pushed the door open and went out, and Li Hengan followed her.
She walked toward the corner of the yard where there was a wooden stake.
Here, Yue Weiwei once got a piece of wood.
She carved the wood into a lilac flower and gave it to Li Hengtu.
Yue Weiwei stood in front of the wooden stake, looking at it, her heart filled with longing.
Li Hengan was standing next to her and suddenly started telling a story.
"Many years ago, this wooden pile was a lush tree."
Yue Weiwei was very curious, and she immediately turned to look at Li Hengan.
"At that time, my brother and I were both children. We came to Qingyuan Temple to worship Buddha together from the Taiwei Mansion and the General Mansion. We were both naughty, so we climbed this tree to play."
Having said this, Li Hengan turned around and sat on the wooden stake.
"It was midsummer, and the trees were lush. My brother and I hid among the leaves to avoid being discovered. Unexpectedly, the branch of my tree broke when someone stepped on it, and I fell down. My brother got scared and reached out to grab me, but he lost his balance and fell down too. We both fell and were pissed."
Yue Weiwei imagined the two little brats making mischief and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Li Hengan also laughed.
Yue Weiwei looked at the bare wooden stake and couldn't help but become more curious.
"How did such a lush tree become a stump? Is this your revenge? Cut it down!"
Li Hengan joked: "We are not that petty!"
"That is how the matter?"
Li Hengan suddenly fell silent, tapped the wooden stake, and felt a little lost.
"That night, the tree fell down. Maybe because the crown was too big and too heavy, it made a lot of noise. We all ran out to see what was left. We only saw a lone trunk standing there, with the huge crown lying next to it."
Li Hengan stood up and compared his own height to hers and said, "That tree trunk was as tall as I am now. Later, the abbot sawed it off and used it as a seat for people to rest on."
As he spoke, he held Yue Weiwei's shoulders and let her sit on the wooden stake.
Yue Weiwei was full of doubts, could it be that someone did this on purpose?
But he joked, "This is God helping you teach the tree a lesson!"
Li Hengan didn't care: "Who cares!"
Yue Weiwei felt a little bit of admiration in his heart. He had his own judgment in his mind and did not believe in these superstitious heresies.
"When will the eldest son return?"
Li Hengan remained silent.
If possible, he wanted to stay in Qingyuan Temple forever, to see the mountains, the trees, the water, and her!
Yue Weiwei sighed secretly: "You are going to see a hole through my face."
Li Hengan smiled.
"It's getting late, young master, go to bed early. The mountain is not like the imperial capital. The courtyard is cool, don't catch a cold."
After saying that, Yue Weiwei stood up and walked towards the house.
When she reached the door, she turned around and saw Li Hengan still sitting on the wooden stake, staring at her.
Yue Weiwei quickly pushed the door open and walked in.
Seeing her hurried steps, Nanny Li looked out and said, "Miss, I have just made some tea and it is still hot. Please come in and have some tea, sir!"
Yue Weiwei naturally refused: "My son-in-law said he was going to rest. I guess he must be tired from traveling today. Li Chu is taking care of him, so we don't need to worry."
Matron Li showed a regretful expression: "Young lady, you have considered everything."
After that, she poured a cup of tea for Yue Weiwei and handed it to her.
Nanny Li walked to the window, only to see Li Hengan sitting on a wooden stake, staring at the room intently.
Her heart trembled and she turned to look at Yue Weiwei.
"Miss, why is your uncle still sitting in the yard?"
Yue Weiwei was a little embarrassed when the truth was revealed: "Just now he said he was tired, so I came back."
"Miss, please bring a cup of hot tea to your son-in-law. If he wasn't in a hurry to see you, he wouldn't have come up the mountain at this time."
Yue Weiwei is a person who listens to advice, and at this moment, her status makes her do this.
"Okay, Madam Li, bring the tea and follow me."
When Nanny Li heard this, she was overjoyed. She immediately took the tray, set out the teapot and cups, and followed Yue Weiwei out.
