Chapter 71 Lantern Festival

The two children gradually fell asleep. Li Jing looked at them sleeping peacefully and unconsciously raised a faint smile on her lips.

At first, when he learned that the two children might be his offspring, he was a little repelled, but as they got along with each other for this period of time, perhaps because of their blood connection, his cold heart was gradually warmed by the two little babies.

Li Jing held the two children in his arms. The faint milky scent of the baby seemed to help him sleep. His eyelids became heavy unconsciously. Just when he was about to fall asleep, Xing Bai opened the door and came in to stand beside the bed.

Li Jing noticed someone coming in and opened her eyes suddenly.

"Master, I have something important to tell you."

Li Jing frowned slightly, sat up carefully, covered the two children with quilts, then stood up and left.

The maid standing watch outside the door saluted respectfully. Li Jing waved slightly to indicate that she did not need to salute, and left with Xing Bai.

In the study, as soon as Li Jing sat down, Xing Bai poured tea for him.

"What happened?"

The two children were smiling like flowers. Sister Rong was sitting on Li Jing's neck, her little mouth closed in excitement. Brother Ye was sitting on Xing Bai's neck, looking equally surprised.

Shen had a smile on her face. Previously, she had a headache because Liu Ruwen was too targeted at Cui Yuexi, but now she is relieved.

In the afternoon, Cui Yuexi went to Madam Liu to ask for a few people, just to prevent Liu Rulu from being injured.

Compared with Li Jing's casualness, Xing Bai was very nervous, fearing that the restless brother Ye would fall.

Xingbai was also surprised. Miss Cui was really different from the rumors, and she always gave people unexpected surprises.

Li Jing picked up the teacup with her knuckled hands, took a sip, and looked at Xing Bai with raised eyebrows.

"Dad, take us over to find aunt." The two children urged, and Li Jing walked slowly towards Cui Yuexi.

Cui Yuexi was amused by this scene. The two children saw her with sharp eyes and clapped their hands excitedly to urge her.

Liu Guogong directly waved his hand and arranged for four capable men to come over.

Cui Yuexi suggested that this crisis can be resolved by staying away from danger after all.

"Master, my subordinates overheard Mr. Lou mentioning it after drinking, and suggested using catgut to suture the wound. The person who saved Mr. Li's life was Miss Cui."

"Stop talking. If uncle and the others hear it, we will really not go out."

Seemingly simple, he stands out among a group of people wearing heavy makeup.

She took Cui Yuexi's arm and shook it gently, "Good cousin Yuexi, please don't tell grandma and the others that you won't go to the Lantern Festival, okay?"

Although they are a family of military commanders, as a boudoir girl who goes out casually, people will inevitably call her frivolous. If Cui Yuexi said she didn't want to go, Mrs. Liu probably wouldn't agree to them going out.

"Cousin Yuexi, why don't we come together? It's fun." Liu Rulu's eyes were full of pleading, and she pursed her pale pink lips and begged, with such a cute look that Cui Yuexi couldn't bear to refuse.

In the evening, after the four sisters had dinner, they met in the main hall as scheduled. Liu Ruwen and the other three looked at the four people standing behind Cui Yuexi, and their bright eyes suddenly dimmed.

I still remember that during the lantern festival in my last life, I don’t know who knocked down the racks with hundreds of various lanterns hanging on them. The entire camp was set on fire. Liu Ru’s face was burned when she showed up. From then on, her heart was closed tightly and she could no longer stand still.

He went out and was depressed all day long, and finally couldn't accept the reality and committed suicide by cutting his wrists.

Li Jing was also surprised, "She is really like a mystery." Many things can be predicted before they happen.

Since Cui Yuexi returned to the Liu family, Liu Rulu has been treating her very well. How could she bear to watch her get into trouble and ignore her?

"Cousin Yuexi, look at that lantern, it's so beautiful." Liu Rulu seemed to be going out for the first time, and everything she looked at felt fresh.

"Are you agreeing?" The three sisters hugged her happily and cheered repeatedly.

"Yes, it's fun if we all go together and we can take care of each other. Besides, Cui Jinchao will definitely go. Then the three of us sisters will teach you a lesson and help you vent your anger."

Li Jing looked in the direction of Sister Rong's finger, and saw Cui Yuexi in a moon-white dress, as if she was an immortal descending from the earth and standing among a group of mediocre people. Her hair was simply combed into a bun, bound only by a hairpin.

"The Lantern Festival is too crowded, so we'd better not go."

"Dad, I saw my aunt."

Since she couldn't stop it, she could only deal with it carefully. She really couldn't bear to see them disappointed.

"Grandma has given an order that if there are too many people at night, the crowding will hurt us, so we can only take them with us, otherwise we will not be allowed to go out."

"Okay." The three sisters heard that it was Mrs. Liu's intention. Although they were reluctant, they could only agree. In this family, even if Mrs. Liu spoke, even if Liu Guogong came to intercede, it might not be able to give him face.

Cui Yuexi looked along her fingers, but she didn't see any novel lanterns. Instead, she saw Sister Rong and Brother Ye.

Nowadays, the four cousins ​​can be considered to be in the same boat through thick and thin. They have a life-long friendship. Through one incident after another, the barriers between the four of them are gradually eliminated, and they spend the whole day together as if they are biological sisters.

Mrs. Shen sighed, looking at the sleepiness in Mrs. Liu's eyes, and helped her leave.

"Why should we take them with us when we go out?" Those four people are the most skilled guards among the younger generation around Liu Guogong. Thinking of how many tails they have to follow when they go out to play, there is no way they can relax and have fun.

She can know that there are a lot of weapons under her mansion, and she knows the honest monk, so there is nothing wrong with knowing this.

"We are counting the days every day waiting for this day. How can we do it if we don't go." Liu Rufei refused directly, but not like before. Cui Yuexi said something she didn't like to hear, and retorted very angrily.

Cui Yuexi didn't take much care of Liu Rufei and Liu Ruwen, and was always by Liu Rulu's side.

The annual Lantern Festival will be held in three days, and Li Jing felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation in her heart.

The four sisters took the guards and their respective maids out of the house. Various lanterns illuminated the entire street. Under the candlelight, the richly dressed young masters and young ladies had an even more hazy sense of beauty.

.

Seeing that Brother Ye was uncomfortable sitting on Xing Bai's shoulder, Cui Yuexi reached out to take her and kissed him on his soft cheek, making Brother Ye giggle non-stop.

Mrs. Liu looked at the four people making out with each other, with a faint smile in her eyes.

"We are all in the same family at all times, and the family love that is thicker than water cannot be broken away from."

"I saw it too."

"That child Yuexi has really changed a lot. He is a lovely person."

The day of the Lantern Festival arrived in a blink of an eye. Compared to the excitement of the three sisters of the Liu family, Cui Yuexi acted very calmly.

He grabbed Brother Ye's calf tightly and walked very stiffly.

"Aunt, I want to kiss you too." Sister Rong struggled to move towards Cui Yuexi.

Cui Yuexi nodded her toes and kissed Sister Rong on the face with great effort.

In order to make it easier for her to kiss Sister Rong, Li Jing squatted down slightly, and his face just touched Cui Yuexi's chest. The elegant and fragrant fragrance came, and he blushed unconsciously.

It was just that the night was dark and the lanterns were shining, so it didn't attract anyone's attention.
