Mrs. Li's hand suddenly stopped, she suppressed the turmoil in her heart and looked at him and asked, "What does mother want you to do now?"
This time there was even less awe in his tone.
Master Li was a little absent-minded. After being pushed a few times by Madam Li, he pursed his lips and stammered that Princess Mingchang wanted to go to Hebei to rescue people by himself.
He actually himself didn't know why his mother always found so many things to do.
It is obvious that you can live a good life, but you just don't want to.
He himself could hardly hold on any longer.
He couldn't hold on, and Madam Li couldn't understand it even more. She slapped Master Li on the head and cried hysterically: "Are you crazy? You do everything. For so many years, you run errands for her to do whatever she wants, but what have we gained? Our Ah Hui is about to go to the palace to be a guard. If something goes wrong at this time, have you thought about his future? And Jinniang, her situation is already difficult enough, and now mother wants you to save those irrelevant people!"
Master Li was so embarrassed that he couldn't even raise his head.
It's like this again! Seeing him hanging his head and not speaking, Madam Li pointed at him and cursed him with a smile, then packed up her things and left in a rage.
Master Li came over to stop her, afraid and angry, and said, "What are you doing?! If you make such a fuss, mother will know about it soon!"
In the past, I was afraid that Princess Mingchang would find out, but now I can barely survive, so why should I be afraid that she would find out?!
Madam Li glared at him and sneered, "Why am I making a fuss? Who is the one making trouble in this family? You want to go, right? If you really want to go, then you can forget about living like this! You might as well divorce me! If you divorce me, maybe my children and I can still survive, and we won't be beheaded because of you guys!"
After she finished speaking, she pushed Master Li away and left angrily.
Master Li sighed and sat in the room for a long time without moving.
Aunt Zheng was whispering to Princess Mingchang: "The eldest lady doesn't seem very happy. She was supposed to ask the kitchen to prepare dinner tonight, but there's been no movement."
Princess Mingchang snorted coldly.
She originally thought that since they were relatives, and since the other party had come from so far away, she should show hospitality as a host. But now that Madam Li said she wanted to marry Li Jinniang to her family, she no longer had any good feelings towards Madam Li's family.
It doesn't matter if we don't hold this dinner.
Did Princess Mingchang have to look at the faces of her daughter-in-law and in-laws? It was a joke.
"Don't worry about her! Let her do whatever she wants." Princess Mingchang raised her chin and said, "She thinks she is so great and wants to make decisions for our family. Let her wake up."
At this time, Madam Li also hugged her sister-in-law, Madam Xiong, and cried bitterly: "She is so bullying. She didn't like me when I got married. For so many years, she always put pressure on me to promote my two younger sisters-in-law. I don't care. But she... She always does stupid things. Sooner or later, this family will be ruined by her!"
Mrs. Xiong was a very wealthy middle-aged woman. Seeing Mrs. Li crying, she patiently listened to her complaints and sobs until Mrs. Li stopped crying because she was tired. Then she whispered to Mrs. Li, "Have you ever thought about how you are going to live?"
How can we continue to live? Mrs. Li was at a loss, and shook her head with a wry smile.
I just told Mr. Li that I wanted to divorce my wife, but she is so old now, can she really go back to her parents' home
But if she continues like this, she really sees no hope.
Mrs. Xiong was not in a hurry. She reached out her hand to wipe away Mrs. Li's tears. "Aunt, you know that your mother-in-law is strong and overbearing. If you don't listen to her, the whole family will be in chaos. But if you listen to her, every one of the things she is doing now will be a capital crime. Do you really want to let the children fall into it?"
Of course not!
Madam Li shook her head hastily: "I just don't want to implicate the children. Otherwise, why would I contradict her?"
"In that case, will you listen to me for a few words?" Seeing Madam Li straighten up seriously, Madam Xiong said gently, "If I were you, I would persuade the master to stay. You can go find someone or save them, but after saving them, you have to hand them over to His Majesty."
Mrs. Li subconsciously clenched her collar, looked at Mrs. Xiong in shock, and wanted to speak immediately.
Mrs. Bear held her hand and said, "Listen to me first. I mean, you and your wife are already so old, you can be grandparents. Do you really want to follow the princess around and obey her orders like a child?"
Madam Li was shocked. She grabbed Madam Xiong's hand with cold fingers and asked, "So what do you mean? You mean..."
Madam Xiong nodded with a firm look in her eyes, "That's what I mean! She is against His Majesty, so you should go against her! She is old, and people tend to become stubborn and radical when they are old. You can't just be filial to her at this time, otherwise you will hurt yourselves! She dares to use those people to hurt others now, what about in the future? What if she doesn't like His Majesty anymore? Are you really going to lose your heads if you follow her?!"
Mrs. Li's head was buzzing. When she thought of what she said was going to cost her head, she subconsciously felt a chill on her neck.
But she soon came to her senses and realized that the advice her sister-in-law gave her was truly for her good.
What she meant was, why couldn't she and the master be the ones in charge of the family
Thinking of this, she felt relieved and hurriedly said goodbye to her sister-in-law and went back to find Master Li.
Mrs. Bear looked at her back and sighed softly.
Master Xiong came out from behind the screen and put his arm around his wife's shoulders: "We don't know what Master Su San told us..."
"No matter whether Master Su San can agree to our plan or not, for the sake of my sister and brother-in-law, we should persuade them to stand up for themselves!" Master Xiong made the decision without hesitation: "The princess is old, and everything she does is harmful to her descendants. She should be thankful that there are still some normal people in her family, otherwise this family would have been lost long ago."
Mrs. Bear nodded slightly.
Master Su San was waiting for news at home at this time. After receiving Su Yao's letter, he hurried to find Master Xiong and Madam Xiong, and told them that Princess Mingchang had sent people from the Cui family to assassinate Su Yao. According to what Su Yao said, he asked Madam Xiong and Master Xiong to persuade Master Li to tell Emperor Yuanfeng about this matter.
