Shen Qingxi looked up and saw Li Shengnan wearing a lilac dress with only a jade hairpin on his hair. Apart from that, there was no decoration on his body.

The old lady said before that Li Shengnan was not charming enough, but in Shen Qingxi's opinion, she had a literary temperament as elegant as a chrysanthemum. Because of this temperament, although her appearance was ordinary, it was difficult to see.

"Qingxi came here to disturb Miss Li." Shen Qingxi got up and smiled at Li Shengnan. "I accidentally read an article written by Mr. Li before at home these days, and I wanted to come and take a look."

Shen Qingxi really read an article by Mr. Li. From the article, we can see that Mr. Li is a clean and good official, and the daughter raised by others is not bad.

"My father has passed away for many years. It is rare for Miss Shen to remember him." Li Shengnan made a gesture of invitation, asked Shen Qingxi to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea. Then he sat opposite her. "My mother is in poor health and cannot come out to meet her. I hope Miss Shen doesn't mind."

The mistress of the Li family is still Mrs. Li. A female guest came to her house and was about to come out to meet her according to the rules. But since Mrs. Li passed away, she has been lingering in sickness, and the entire Li family has fallen on Li Shengnan.

"I don't know." Mrs. Li's health was not good in her previous life, and Shen Qingxi wouldn't mind these things. "I also want to see Miss Li today. If it's convenient, I should meet Mrs. Li in person."

Li Shengnan chuckled, "Miss Shen and I have never known each other. I wonder why Miss Shen wants to see me?"

Although Li Shengnan often shows up for the sake of the Li family, he rarely attends banquets between women in the boudoir. First, the Li family has become insignificant since Li Ge Lao passed away, and second, Li Shengnan has no time to socialize when he is busy with the management of the shop and farm.

Therefore, Shen Qingxi has never met her in the past two years since she returned to the capital.

When Shen Qingxi heard Li Shengnan say this, she smiled at her, "I heard that there is a small bamboo forest in the Li Mansion, which is particularly quiet and elegant. I wonder if Miss Li can let me take a look?"

In Shen Qingxi's opinion, if you want Li Shengnan to marry into the Shen family, you should tell her directly. She believes that Li Shengnan is a person who understands the situation and can make the best plans for herself and the Li family.

Li Shengnan frowned in confusion, but nodded and said, "Since Miss Shen wants to see it, I will accompany you to see it."

The Li family’s mansion was given to Li Ge Lao after Emperor Longzong ascended the throne, and it occupied a huge area. It was still a bit far from the front hall to the small bamboo forest in the backyard.

The two of them slowly walked to the backyard, and Shen Qingxi suddenly said, "Ms. Li supported the Li family alone and took care of her mother and raised her concubines."

Li Shengnan seemed to have become accustomed to this, but just smiled faintly, "My mother gave birth to me, and I should take care of her. The two illegitimate sisters... that is the blood of their father. The aunts are gone. They call me "Big sister," he said, "I can't let it go."

Shen Qingxi nodded, and she suddenly stopped and looked at Li Shengnan, "Where is Miss Li herself? She has been staying in the Li Mansion for the rest of her life? Haven't you ever thought about getting married?"

Li Shengnan shook his head, "I'm already past the age of marriage. Now I just hope my mother is healthy. The two concubines grow up and watch them get married and have children. I don't think about it anymore."
