Chapter 1637: Earning Small Money Quietly
When Shi Li heard that Wen Shiqing was waiting for her, she stopped walking forward.
The evening breeze blew across the belt around the waist, and the fine tassels swayed slightly.
Her first reaction was to go find Father Liu and ask him to personally resolve the matter, but then she thought that doing this repeatedly seemed too deliberate.
If they find out that I know everything, the Liu family might just give up.
So, this time I can’t rely on Father Liu anymore, I have to rely on myself.
After thinking it through, Shi Li curled her lips.
"Since Miss Cousin wants to see me, let's go back quickly and don't let Miss Cousin wait anxiously."
She estimated that when Wen Shiqing came to see her, she would not tell her about her pregnancy right away. After all, everyone knew that this matter was not glorious at all.
After walking through several corridors, Shi Li saw Wen Shiqing standing outside the courtyard with a maid from afar.
She was wearing a very light yellow outfit, which looked like a layer of white if you didn't look closely.
As the saying goes, a girl should look pretty in mourning clothes. Wen Shiqing looks more like a pretty girl in this outfit.
Even as a cousin living in the Liu family, she shouldn't dress like that. If people who don't know the situation see her, they will think that the Liu family doesn't care about her and treats her badly.
It’s no wonder that Liu’s father looks down on her.
Shi Li thought to herself and walked over to ask with concern: "Cousin, why are you standing here in the wind? Be careful if you get uncomfortable from the wind. If you have anything to say, come in and talk."
"Cousin... Young Madam." Wen Shiqing's eyes were a little red and swollen. She had cried for several times in the west wing. Finally, at the instigation of the servants, she wanted to come and see Shi Li to test her attitude.
But just as Shi Li thought, she was not shameless enough to directly say that she was pregnant.
"Go make tea for your cousin." Shi Li invited Wen Shiqing into the house and sat down, then glanced at her maid.
The maid understood what he meant, and even though she went out, she did not bring back the tea for a long time.
The main reason was that Shi Li didn't want Wen Shiqing to eat or drink the food in her courtyard. She had watched a lot of palace fighting dramas before. Even if she had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. What if Wen Shiqing tried to scam her?
Wen Shiqing was in a nervous mood and didn't care whether there was tea or not. After sitting down and looking at the luxurious furnishings in Shi Li's room, she began to feel a little sour in her heart.
I just felt that I was born into a bad family, otherwise I would have lived a more comfortable and prosperous life than Shi Li. Then I thought that even if Shi Li had a high status, she was not favored by Liu Qihan, and I felt a little more balanced.
Even a little proud.
Such complicated emotions made her expression particularly strange.
Shi Li didn't care. As long as she didn't risk it all, it wouldn't be difficult to talk to her for a while.
"My cousin looks very good today. I think you are much better now. That's great." Shi Li lied with her eyes open. Wen Shiqing's face was sallow and her eyes were swollen. There was no sign of anything good happening to her.
But Wen Shiqing liked to hear people say good things about her, so she immediately smiled and said, "I can't compare to the young lady, I'm just a willow."
Shi Li: ...
Girl, even if you are saying polite words, you really don't need to look so proud.
She led the conversation and talked a lot with Wen Shiqing. Later, she had nothing to say. She was also afraid that Wen Shiqing would really dare to tell her ugly story, so she gritted her teeth and said, "When is cousin free, we can go out for a walk together."
Wen Shiqing didn't want to go out with her at all. She just wanted to spend time with her cousin. But she also wanted to test Shi Li's attitude towards her, so she could only nod reluctantly.
After staying for a while, Wen Shiqing was in a dilemma, wondering whether she should pretend to vomit to arouse Shi Li's suspicion. At that moment, Shi Li's maid finally came in with tea.
But the maid did not come alone, there was someone with her.
It was the nanny beside Liu's mother.
The nanny came over and bowed to Shi Li first, "Young Madam."
"Why is Madam here?" When Shi Li saw the person coming, she felt relieved and asked in a surprised tone.
The maid responded appropriately, "The old lady knew that the cousin had recovered and wanted to ask her to come over to talk. She knew that she was with the young lady, so she asked me to tell her."
"I see. Then, please go see your mother as soon as possible. I will not keep you here any longer."
Shi Li felt relieved and stood up to see Wen Shiqing out.
Wen Shiqing was flustered by this incident. When she was still hesitating, the nanny had already stood in front of her, "Cousin, come with me."
Shi Li smiled as she sent them out of the yard. She felt relieved all of a sudden and looked back at the maid.
"Mammy was really sent by the old lady?"
"I heard that it came from the master's side." The maid answered in a low voice.
