Volume 3: The disputes in Mingzhou City are gone, and it is difficult to carve a rotten wood for a hundred years Chapter 252: There are many troubles in front of the widow
In the hall of Wenlai Villa, Li Si looked at Su Hongluo who was sitting in front of him, and seemed a little confused. He didn't expect that the person who came to see him would be her.
Su Hongluo, on the other hand, was dressed in a warrior's outfit, with her hair tied into a ponytail with a red string and hanging down behind her. She held a folding fan in her hand, tapping it from time to time. Her rather charming face had a rare martial artist's heroic spirit, and there was a hint of a gentleman's elegance between her brows. She looked like a dandy son of an official family, or a romantic who had come from nowhere.
She looked around the layout of the villa for a while, then chuckled and said.
"This place is nice. If you get bored of staying in Tiance Mansion, you can stay here for a few days."
Li Si didn't know why Su Hongluo suddenly asked such a question. He sighed, poured a cup of tea for the people at the table and said.
"I still don't know what you want to do with me, Miss Su?"
After listening to Li Si's words, Su Hongluo retracted her gaze, looked at Li Si with interest, and said after a while.
"Don't call me girl, call me general. As for what I'm going to do, I said I'm here to ask you for marriage, do you believe me?"
"Propose marriage?" Li Si was stunned for a moment, then pushed the teacup in his hand in front of Su Hongluo.
"General, there are no girls waiting to be married in my villa."
"Who said I'm going to marry a girl?" The playful look on Su Hongluo's face deepened. She put one hand on the table, leaned forward, and approached Li Si who was sitting opposite her and said.
"The person I want to marry is you."
After saying that, she bit her lips lightly, and there was a gleam of aggressiveness in her eyes as she looked at Li Si.
Li Si originally wanted to pour himself a cup of tea, but Su Hongluo's words stopped him in his tracks.
It was not until a moment later that he came to his senses. He shook his head and said helplessly.
"General Su, you are joking. You and I don't even have a close relationship, so how can we talk about marriage?"
Su Hongluo did not rush to answer Li Si's words. She just sat back at the table silently, opened the folding fan in her hand, placed it in front of her and waved it slowly.
After a long while, she suddenly asked without any context:
"You seem to be short of money?"
"Yeah." Li Si had no reason to avoid this question. He picked up the tea on the table, took a sip and said.
"I recently adopted a few children. There are more mouths to feed, so money is a little tighter."
"Then you can't do everything, right?" Su Hongluo raised her eyebrows and said while shaking the folding fan in her hand.
"You dare to do such a thing as soliciting dowry, and you are not afraid of losing your reputation."
"We all come out to earn a living. I don't steal or rob. I don't care what others say." Li Si put down the cup in his hand calmly. It is obvious that he doesn't care about things like reputation.
What is reputation? It is nothing more than honor and moral integrity. Li Si has been in the underworld for so many years that he has almost lost these things.
"Hmph." Su Hongluo snorted in dissatisfaction, with a hint of sourness in her tone.
"Although the Tiance Mansion is not a famous family, it should be enough to support you and the children outside. What I said just now was not a joke. I really want to marry you. Please make it clear to me. If you are willing, I will come to propose marriage tomorrow. From now on, don't do those messy businesses anymore."
The hall fell silent.
Li Si sat at the table, his eyes twitching. He wanted to pull someone over to ask what the situation was.
To be honest, no matter who you are, if a strange woman suddenly comes to your door and proposes to you, you will be confused, right?
"General Su."
It must have been a few breaths later that Li Si turned around, clasped his hands, slowly bowed and said.
"In fact, Li already has a wife, so I really appreciate the general's kindness, but I'm sorry that I can't obey your order."
"Oh, really?" Su Hongluo raised her eyebrows and looked around.
"What about your wife? Why haven't I seen her?"
"Uh." Li Si paused, then said with a bitter smile with a slightly gloomy expression.
"My wife has been dead for a long time..."
When he said this, a hint of hidden disappointment flashed across his eyes .
Su Hongluo noticed Li Si's expression, which made her dazzling and intimidating gaze slightly restrained.
She originally thought that this so-called wife was just an excuse for Li Si to reject her, but it seems that it might be true.
"Sorry..." Su Hongluo said lightly, put away her fan, and sat at the table with a slightly stiff figure.
She was not good at apologizing to others, and it was rare for her to humble herself and do this, but she still did not look like she was apologizing.
Fortunately, Li Si didn't make a fuss about it and just waved his hand and said.
"It's okay, as long as General Su can understand."
"Yeah." Su Hongluo nodded slightly, but then she raised her head and looked at Li Si and said.
"However, since he is gone, you can now be said to have no family. I don't mind marrying a widower, and I will also talk to my father about it. I won't urge you to marry into the Tiance Mansion, but I hope you can think about it more."
Having said this, Li Si's expression became even more bitter.
But he raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows unconsciously. After hesitating for a while, he asked Su Hongluo.
"General Su, I still don't know what you see in me."
Hearing this question, Su Hongluo smiled again. After a while, she leaned on the low table, held out the folding fan in her hand, lifted Li Si's chin and said.
"You are good at martial arts, have a decent character, and look just right for me, that's all."
After saying that, she patted Li Si's cheek with her folding fan and stared at him with fiery eyes for a while, as if she would bite him at the next moment.
She had to admit that she was a little envious of Li Si's previous wife. She didn't know what it would be like to play with such a lovely person.
Sure enough, men are like wild horses. Only the most untamed ones can arouse people's desire to tame them. Unlike those ugly ones before, she was too lazy to even take a look at them.
That's quite frank.
Looking at Su Hongluo's frivolous behavior, Li Si's face darkened, he raised his hand and pushed away the folding fan in front of him and said.
"In that case, General Su must have misunderstood the relationship between husband and wife."
"Is there?" Su Hongluo nonchalantly took back the folding fan that Li Si had pushed away, turned it around a few times in her hand and said.
"Aren't so-called husband and wife two people who like each other and spend their lives together? Why, do you dislike me?"
As he spoke, Su Hongluo's eyes became dangerous.
Li Si pursed his lips and said nothing more. The two of them sat facing each other in silence for a while.
Until Li Si finished the tea in his hand and put it on the table and said.
"In short, it is impossible for Li to agree to this marriage. If General Su has nothing else to do, please go back first."
"It's okay, I won't rush you." Su Hongluo still looked calm and said while waving the folding fan in her hand.
"But who said I have nothing else to do? I came here today to do something important, which can be regarded as a commission for you."
"Oh?" Hearing that there was business coming, Li Si immediately became interested and looked at Su Hongluo and asked.
"What's up?"
Su Hongluo took out a silver note of one hundred taels from her arms, slapped it on the table, then stuck her chin towards Li Si's butt and said coldly.
"Lift your butt up so I can spank you."
She hasn't taken revenge yet.
