Chapter 387 Hot Spring Villa
As soon as Shen Li's words fell, Si Fu and Qi Yuening were taken aback. Thinking of what Si Fu said last night, Qi Yuening panicked. She was afraid that Shen Li would ask her the question, but she would be the last to lie.
Qi Yuening took a sip from the teacup in a concealed manner, but before she could swallow the water, she choked hard.
"Cough cough cough..."
Qi Yuening held her chest and coughed uncontrollably. Seeing this, Si Yuan hurriedly patted him on the back, and took a piece of paper to wipe the corners of her mouth.
It's not like this kind of action has never happened before, but I don't know if it's because of what happened last night, both of them are a little unnatural.
Si Fu was taken aback by Shen Li's question just now, but luckily Qi Yuening made an interruption, which gave her a chance to think about what she wanted to say.
Naturally, she couldn't make up any good reason, so she just said something vaguely.
"His Royal Highness sent me back yesterday. He left in a hurry and forgot to tell them."
Shen Li was a little surprised to hear His Royal Highness, Zou Heng doesn't seem like a nosy person, and...
"Didn't you go with the Fourth Prince? Why did His Royal Highness send you back?"
Shen Li didn't mean to probe into her daughter's privacy, it was pure curiosity.
But this stopped Sifu from asking.
Actually, she still doesn't know why she lied to her mother until now, she obviously told Shen Li everything she had in the past.
Sifu said bravely.
"Prince...His Royal Highness happened to be on the way."
Shen Li turned around in front of the three of them, feeling that everyone was a little strange. Before, these children told her everything, but now they all seem to be hiding their thoughts. This puberty is also a bit strange. It's a little too late.
Finally, Si Yuan opened his mouth to change the subject.
"Father, how long will you stay here this time?"
Si Yan looked away from Shen Li, and said in a steady voice.
"I'm coming back this time, and I won't go out for the time being. The young generals on the border can now take charge of their own. At my age, maybe it's time to retire."
I don't know which chord touched Shen Li's heart, she immediately frowned, she squeezed Si Yan's hand tightly, and said coquettishly.
"What age, you are clearly in your prime, don't say such things."
After Shen Li finished speaking, she stuffed a piece of pastry into Si Yan's mouth.
Si Yan has been a soldier all his life. Although he is forty years old now, his physical strength is still not inferior to that of young people. No one knows this better than Shen Li.
She didn't want to hear Si Yan say that he was old, as if they were so old, but when Shen Li saw the children in a blink of an eye, she had to admit that this was the truth.
The reason why Shen Li reacted so strongly to Si Yan's words was because she found a white hair on Si Yan's head last night.
At that moment, Shen Li was shocked and heartbroken. Looking back, the two have been together for twenty years, how many twenty years are left in their lives.
Si Yan sensed that Shen Li's mood was wrong, so he said it immediately.
"This time I came back to take you out for a walk. The newly built hot spring villa in Lishan seems to be good. I'm ready to take you there in a few days."
Qi Yuening's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the previous irritability was swept away.
"Really, I've heard of that villa, but... isn't only people in the palace allowed to go there, so can we?"
