Chapter 860 Sisters
Not to mention what's happening outside.
But Li Wan had already become impatient, and while Baochai was outside welcoming guests, she apologized to Xing Xiuyun and went straight into the bedroom.
Walking around the screen with plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum in front of the door, I saw that there was nothing decorated there. In the empty room, Aunt Xue was sitting by the window, staring blankly at a mercury mirror.
Li Wan was not in a hurry to disturb her. She quietly walked around to the front and took in her lazy look.
After looking at her carefully for a while, he saw that there was no worry on her face, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked softly, "What are you thinking about, aunt?"
Aunt Xue had never thought that someone was approaching her, and she was frightened all over. When she saw clearly that it was Li Wan, her expression suddenly became complicated.
Li Wan's method of "asking herself" made her recall the suffering of studying alone for more than ten years, and thus alleviated her sense of guilt.
Although Aunt Xue would not feel any gratitude towards Li Wan for this - after all, it was Li Wan who caused all this.
But when facing Li Wan again, the hatred in his heart was invisibly weakened a lot.
So after looking at Li Wan for a while, she sighed, answered irrelevantly, pointed at the embroidered cushion in front of the dressing table and said, "Sit down and talk."
After hearing this, Li Wan felt more reassured.
She then moved the embroidered cushion closer and sat down opposite Aunt Xue.
But just as their eyes met, Aunt Xue shifted her gaze to the window, as if she didn't want to speak anymore.
Li Wan had no choice but to suppress the question that was on the tip of her tongue and stayed with her in silence, waiting for her to take the initiative to break the estrangement and awkwardness.
Li Wan didn't have to wait long. Aunt Xue suddenly frowned and asked, "Besides Miss Xing, is there anyone else outside?"
Li Wan said hurriedly, "She is a concubine in the room of Sun's Erlang. I heard that she was the daughter brought over by Dongfu Zhen's stepmother when she married into the You family. Later, they all changed their surnames to You, and were commonly known as You Erjie."
You Erjie?
When Aunt Xue heard these three words, her face turned red with shame. It turned out that night, Sun Shaozong had compared and teased her with You Erjie.
At this moment, she suddenly heard the name of You Erjie, and the extremely embarrassing scene at that moment emerged from the bottom of her heart again.
In the past, Aunt Xue had thought back to the scene of that day, but every time the memory came to her mind, she quickly suppressed it, and then she felt doubly ashamed.
This time was different. Perhaps he had used self-deception to suppress the guilt in his heart. This time the memories came up, and instead of being suppressed, they became clearer as time went by.
The ravings, the teasing, the reckless...
All the scenes came to her mind so vividly that Aunt Xue's heart beat wildly, her chest rose and fell, her breathing turned into gasps, and her face was covered with layers of hot clouds.
Just as she was in a trance, a hand suddenly rested on Aunt Xue's knee, causing her to look up in confusion. She met Li Wan's concerned and somewhat strange look.
"Aunt, all the mistakes are my fault."
Li Wan's five scallion-white fingers traced circles on Aunt Xue's thighs, and she said earnestly, "If there's anything you can't explain, just blame me."
Aunt Xue shrank back uncomfortably and subconsciously asked, "What can't be explained?"
"Of course it's what my aunt looks like now!"
As Li Wan spoke, she stretched out her hand and pinched Aunt Xue's face. When Aunt Xue wanted to push her hand away, she quickly retracted it and sighed, "She is so beautiful and charming, Ruizhu is so shy. Even that little girl who doesn't understand romance would probably be able to see some affection in her."
Aunt Xue subconsciously touched her cheek. The hot touch made her hurriedly move to the mercury mirror again, and then she could see the face of a woman in love.
This look is probably even more revealing than when I first got married!
If my daughter really saw it, no matter how much I tried to argue, I would not be able to completely cover it up.
Aunt Xue was panicked and subconsciously held her cheeks with her hands, saying shyly: "This... What should I do?!"
Li Wan took the opportunity to move closer and said softly, "Didn't I tell you that if you really can't explain it, Auntie can just put the blame on me."
As he spoke, he placed his other hand on Aunt Xue's shoulder.
Aunt Xue also realized something at this moment. Thinking about the words "just put the blame on me", she immediately stood up and stepped back, saying in embarrassment, "You...what are you doing?!"
Subconsciously, she couldn't help but put her hands up to protect her chest.
Seeing her defensive look, Li Wan couldn't help but burst out laughing and shook her head, saying, "We are all women, what can I do to you?"
Aunt Xue also laughed twice, but she did not dare to let her guard down.
Originally, because she discovered the affair between Li Wan and Sun Shaozong, she thought the so-called fake phoenix and false dragon were just rumors.
But looking at Li Wan's behavior now, those words are obviously not groundless.
And it seems that Li Wan has set her sights on herself!
This was guessed by Aunt Xue.
Li Wan had not originally thought of this, but when she saw her blushing face and excited look just now, her heart was inexplicably moved.
She has always been with Suyun, but how can Suyun's beauty be compared with Aunt Xue?
What's more, both of them are widows who have been lonely for more than ten years. They have always had some sympathy for each other. Now if they can use Sun Shaozong as a matchmaker to accomplish something good, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?
Now, seeing Aunt Xue's vigilant look, Li Wan's heart became more and more excited, and her behavior and speech became more relaxed.
She stared at Aunt Xue and slowly stood up, saying in a tender voice, "In fact, if we really want to talk about it from the perspective of Sun Jia Erlang, we should be sisters. If you have any difficulties, I will naturally help you."
Hearing the words "calling each other sisters", Aunt Xue's face suddenly turned red as if she were a tablecloth, and she thought of Sun Shaozong's joke again.
Seeing this, Li Wan moved closer, stretched out her hand to grab Aunt Xue's wrist, and whispered: "We sisters should be closer, what do we have to be afraid of? On the contrary, no one will suspect that you and I have an affair with Sun Jia Erlang..."
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of the door opening, followed by faint footsteps.
Aunt Xue hastily shook off Li Wan and took two steps back, but the blush on her face did not fade away in time.
The person who came in from outside was naturally Xue Baochai.
She walked around the screen and saw her mother standing in the corner, while Li Wan was standing by the window with her mother's usual mercury mirror behind her.
Coupled with the two people's unusual expressions, Xue Baochai became more and more certain that their relationship was unusual.
Xue Baochai's heart was beating wildly at the moment, but she tried her best to calm down and pretended to be calm, saying, "Sister-in-law, why did you sneak in without saying a word? Sister Xiuyan must have thought that I had offended you in some way."
"Is this true?"
Li Wan felt a little guilty under her scrutinizing gaze, so she smiled and said, "Then I have to explain this to Miss Xing."
Having said that, he walked out of the dormitory.
After Xue Baochai watched her leave, she turned around and saw that her mother looked uncomfortable, so she said, "I'll go out and take a look too."
Having said that, he chased after him.
But when he was in front of the screen, he suddenly turned around and said seriously: "Don't worry, mother, this matter is actually... It's nothing, and I won't have any opinion of you because of it."
After she finished speaking, her face became hot, and without waiting for Aunt Xue to react, she rushed out like a fly.
