Chapter 2630 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
The moment she saw Zhong Shanlang, Shi Li felt as if thousands of divine beasts were roaring through her heart.
But Zhong Shanlang didn't notice it at all. Instead, he put on a smile that he thought was gentle, "What's wrong with you? Why did you make Miss Shi so angry?"
Shi Nian and Shi Jiao didn't know him and were puzzled by this stranger who suddenly broke in.
Finally, Shi Nian frowned and answered, "We did something wrong and deserve to be punished by our elder sister. I wonder who you are and what brings you here?"
Zhong Shanlang's expression froze slightly.
He had investigated the Shi family in depth before, and only knew that the two illegitimate sons were submissive. This time, he learned that Shi Li came to the temple to pray for his deceased mother, so he took the opportunity to follow.
I saw two people being punished to stand outside the yard and thought of using this as an excuse to get closer to them, but I didn't expect Shi Li to be so sharp.
Shi Li didn't want her two younger brothers to have any contact with the male pig, so she pushed her wheelchair out of the house and looked at Zhong Shanlang from a distance.
"Master Zhong, what a coincidence to meet you here."
If her expression was more surprised, or her voice was more gentle, Zhong Shanlang would feel that she was attracted to him. But looking at Shi Li's expressionless face, no matter how narcissistic he was, he knew that his appearance made Shi Li unhappy.
"Miss Shi, I'm sorry for being so abrupt. I was just passing by outside and couldn't help but meddle in other people's business."
Zhong Shanlang tried to retreat in order to advance. He glanced at Shi Li and then at his two younger brothers. "It's a good thing for Miss Shi to discipline her two younger brothers, but don't rush into it, otherwise it might backfire."
[Then, this male pig smells like a dad whenever he opens his mouth or closes his mouth~]
[I feel so powerless that I can’t even put my hand through the screen! ]
[So this is why I hated this "inspirational drama" in the first place- -]
"Thank you for the reminder, Master Zhong."
Shi Li nodded politely and forced a smile, "Since Master Zhong has important matters to attend to, I won't delay you."
The order to expel was so obvious that Zhong Shanlang could not pretend not to hear it. He smiled awkwardly, turned around and walked out, with his fists hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly.
After he left, Shi Nian frowned and looked at Shi Li, "Sister, what that person said was wrong, you are right to punish us!"
Shi Li turned to look at him, feeling somewhat satisfied.
It’s okay. I didn’t meet an ungrateful brother who can’t tell right from wrong.
"Then tell me, why should I punish you?"
While standing in the corner as punishment, Shi Nian had already figured out Shi Li's good intentions and lowered his head in shame.
"We dare not go to the back mountain. It is very dangerous there after the rain. The book teaches that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall. I was wrong."
It seems that this brother is quite open-minded. Shi Li nodded and looked at Shi Jiao again, "What about you?"
Shi Jiao was a little confused at first, but after listening to Shi Nian's words, he suddenly realized and nodded vigorously.
"I understand too! My elder sister is worried that we might be in danger. This is for our own good! I will never go there again. I'm sorry, elder sister!"
Shi Li was very pleased to see two teachable children.
"Well, at least my fight wasn't in vain. Just figure it out."
She asked her two younger brothers to go back to their rooms to apply medicine, and then quietly told the maid Liushui beside her, "Go check why Zhong Shanlang is here?"
Liushui obeyed the order and left. Shili glanced at the shoe prints under the window. She had also secretly observed Zhong Shanlang's shoes just now. They were a pair of simple, half-worn cloth shoes, without any dirt on them, and very clean.
But being too clean gives people a feeling of concealment that makes things more obvious.
Shi Li held the armrest of the wheelchair, thinking about the suspicious points, but without conclusive evidence, she could not be sure that the person who wanted to break into the house through the window last night was Zhong Shanlang.
Not long after, the maid returned to her.
"I heard about it."
The maid lowered her voice and said, "People in the temple say that Master Zhong comes here to cultivate his character for a period of time every year, but he doesn't know when he chooses to come."
At first glance, it seemed like meeting here was pure coincidence.
Shi Li nodded without asking further questions. He just ordered the guards to keep an eye on his two younger brothers and not let them run to the back mountain alone again.
Shi Li then devoted himself to copying Buddhist scriptures in the house, to show his filial piety to the original owner's deceased mother.
Her two younger brothers also cultivated their character with her, copying scriptures and writing calligraphy.
But after noon, the temple, which had been quiet until now, suddenly became noisy again, as if it had welcomed some distinguished guest.
