Chapter 100 – Jealousy (1)
Seeing that his expression had slightly stiffened, Li Man immediately realized that she had let something slip. Just like in modern-day, if someone said they didn’t know where the capital was, it would create suspicion.
“I told you about this before.” Seemingly in the next second, her expression turned desolate. In a low voice, she said, “Since that time I was hanged, I lost all of my memories. To be honest, I…. I don’t even remember who you guys are. Honestly, I… feel really upset over this.”
Li Hua didn’t believe that she would tell lies, but it was hard to believe that she had forgotten everything. “Then… Do you want regain your memories?”
Li Man quickly nodded. Her limpid, big eyes looked at him, and she very seriously said, “En, I want to regain my memories of everyone.”
Without a good reason, his heart felt warm. And yet, it was accompanied and followed by a bit of pain. “What if you regain your memory, and we don’t exist in those memories?”
“How could that be possible?” She was also a member of this family. How could her memories not have them?
“What if?” Li Hua stubbornly continued to ask.
“If I don’t have memories of this family?” Li Man couldn’t figure it out. She was clearly a member of this family, ah. Oh… Right, perhaps, she had only recently joined this family. But then, had she married into this family? Did she have a maiden family?
“I want to ask you something.”
Hearing her suddenly asking something, Li Hua felt a jolt of fear. “What?”
“You called me wife. Your second brother and third brother also called me wife too. What exactly is going on?” It didn’t seem like they were just joking around.
“…” Li Hua stared deeply into her eyes. Her eyes were as clear as a spring without any trace of trying to conceal something. She truly had no idea that her current identity was… Li family’s shared wife.
He suddenly felt guilty and didn’t dare to tell her the truth.
“Tell me,” Li Man felt anxious.
Li Hua’s tightly pursed his lips moved. He hesitantly said, “This… it’s not important. You’ll know in the future.”
“In the future? How long will that be?” Li Man continued to question.
“That…” Just as Li Hua wasn’t sure how to respond, he heard a voice coming from the entrance. It was Little Five greeting his oldest brother and third brother.
“Oldest brother and third brother are back. I’m going to see them.” Li Hua hurriedly came down from the bed and ran outside.
“Oh.” Li Man’s heart felt so dejected. Why had he left when they got to the important part? Could it be that she had touched onto some secret that couldn’t be told?
Li Shu put down a large bundle of bamboo under the eaves. Before he had even wiped off his sweat, he ran over to this hut with a big smile and called out, “Wife.”
Leaning against the window, Li Man rolled her eyes. Wife. He was starting that up again.
Li Shu walked to the side of the bed. Seeing several books out, he curiously asked, “What are you doing? Reading? Wife, you can read fourth brother’s books?”
“Yes.” Li Man neutrally assented and neatly put Li Hua’s books back into his bag.
“Really?” Li Shu’s eyes brightened. His eyes were overflowing with adoration and worship, “Wife, you’re so amazing. You can even understand fourth brother’s books.”
“Don’t call me wife anymore.” After Li Man placed the bag down, she got off the bed.
Li Shu followed behind her. “What should I call you? My old lady? Doesn’t that sound worse than wife?”
Li Man instantly seemed like a bristling kitten that had its tail stepped on. “What wife? What my old lady? You say those words, and your second brother and fourth brother also say that. All three of you call me wife. It couldn’t be that I’m married to the three of you, right?” That would be too ridiculous.
“It’s not that.” Li Shu hurriedly shook his head.
Li Man rolled her eyes at him. “Exactly, so stop.” By calling her wife, they were verbally taking advantage of her.
Smiling as he looked at her, Li Shu added, “There’s oldest brother and Little Five too.”
