Chapter 536 - 161 Recovery_4
Moreover... Jiang Li pondered in her heart, just a few days ago, Ye Mingyu had already arranged a "silencing" at Xiao Deyin’s residence entrance. Xiao Deyin should be in a state of panic and confusion, so why would she come to find her?
"Is she still in the front hall?" Jiang Li asked, "If she is, Ming Yue, please bring her to my courtyard. It’s always somewhat inconvenient to talk in the front hall."
Ming Yue quickly said, "She’s still here, I will invite her over right away."
Jiang Li took off her cloak, changed into another dress, and had Tonger tidy up her hair a bit, making her look quite composed. Sitting in front of the stone table in the courtyard, half of the sunlight streamed into the greenish tea water, and just when the tea was pleasantly warm, Xiao Deyin arrived.
She followed behind Ming Yue, wearing a purple silk dress embroidered with plum blossoms, graceful and ethereal, her wide sleeves giving off a sense of being above worldly concerns. Her face was beautiful, with a smile on her lips, she looked gentle and kind. No wonder she was the most popular teacher in Mingyi Hall; Xiao Deyin was certainly the first.
Seeing Jiang Li, she came forward with a smile and called out, "Jiang Li." She then sat down at the other end of the stone table.
"Mr. Xiao," Jiang Li also smiled and returned the greeting, "What brings you here today?"
"You haven’t been to Mingyi Hall for some days, I heard there were some issues at your home," Xiao Deyin said with a smile. "I’ve been wanting to visit you, only I was afraid of disturbing your household and felt it might be inconvenient. But after all, you are the best student in Mingyi Hall, especially in zither artistry, there is no one better than you there. I am genuinely fond of you, and after thinking it over, now that the new year has passed, I decided to come and see you."
Her words made it seem as if this teacher always had a great deal of affection and concern for this particular student, and even suggested that Jiang Li was her prized pupil. Jiang Li smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, with a look of curved eyebrows and eyes that, for some reason, made Xiao Deyin’s face feel a bit hot.
