The old lady was extremely nervous because it was about a child, and she didn't want to listen to the person in front of her anymore. She had to go home to find out the truth of the matter.
He hurried home and went straight to Liu Congdie's room. At this time, Liu Ruiguang was still with him. When he saw the old lady, he stood up and called her mother.
"what happened?"
"Where is the child? Is he okay?" She stared at Liu Congdie nervously. While waiting for an answer, she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest, fearing that she would hear bad news.
Liu Ruiguang went over and patted the old lady on the back, comforting her:
"Mom, don't worry, everything is fine, the child is fine."
"Really?" The old lady was still a little worried. She looked at Liu Congdie and asked her for confirmation. Liu Congdie nodded and touched his belly. Liu Ruiguang said:
"The doctor has also been here and made sure everything is fine."
"I've only been out for a morning, and something big happened at home." The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and clenched her fists, her palms covered with sweat.
Later, he got a general idea of what happened from Liu Ruiguang, but Liu Ruiguang didn't say that Liu Congdie had to frame Shi Qianshuang. He only said that Liu Congdie had a stomachache and was scared at the time, and said some nonsense.
Seeing her son's eyes flickering, the old lady must be hiding something. Thinking that people outside said Liu Congdie was not a simple concubine, she frowned, pulled Liu Ruiguang over, and asked quietly:
"Is there something else you haven't told my mother?"
"No." Liu Ruiguang said.
"Oh, I'm going to ask Shi Qianshuang." The old lady glanced at him unexpectedly, not very happy about her son's concealment.
Liu Ruiguang thought that his wife was so angry that she even asked for a divorce. Going at this time would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire and deliberately stop her. It can be seen that the old lady was full of momentum and had already taken steps, knowing that she could not be pulled back. He sighed helplessly and looked back at Liu Congdie. After all, he didn't follow him out and stayed.
Meng Li was still here accompanying Shi Qianshuang, who was at the bottom of his mood, but he heard the little maid greeting the old lady outside the door. Shi Qianshuang stood up, straightened his clothes, smiled bitterly at Meng Li, and said:
"Perhaps we are here to investigate."
"Don't be afraid, we walk and sit upright." Meng Li smiled at her and encouraged her.
The old lady opened the door and walked in. As soon as she came in, she frowned and said:
"It's daytime, and something big happened at home. What are you two doing here with the door closed?"
Shi Qianshuang remained silent, and the old lady said again:
"You don't care about my child that much?"
Shi Qianshuang couldn't help but ask: "How do you think I should care about you?"
Suddenly, a sneer appeared on the old lady's face: "That's right, you are a jealous woman, I'm afraid you want others to be bad, but you can't do what you want."
"I'm only going out for a short time, do you want to cause trouble at home?"
"What did mother say to doubt me?" Shi Qianshuang took a deep breath and felt deeply sad. Isn't Liu Congdie okay? Do you want to put this crime on her head
The old lady felt that Liu Congdie would not have a stomachache for no reason, and that it happened to be related to Shi Qianshuang when she was not at home.
"Be honest with me. Don't end up with a bad reputation and be cast aside by others. From today on, if something happens to that child, you will be the first to take responsibility." The old lady's tone was particularly arrogant and unreasonable. warned Shi Qianshuang.
Meng Li felt that the old lady not only warned Shi Qian Shuang to ensure the safety of the child, but also that she had probably disliked Shi Qian Shuang for many years and was holding a lot of anger in her heart. Now that Shi Qian Shuang cannot be loved by her husband, the old lady He could sweep away the depression of the past and bully her unscrupulously.
She wanted to help Shi Qianshuang with a few words, but before she could say anything, Shi Qianshuang actually said it himself:
"Mom, don't worry. I will divorce Rui Guang soon. When the time comes, I will leave this family. Whatever happens to this family cannot be blamed on me."
Her voice was weak, but she said it, and her eyes were firm, but Meng Li saw her fingertips tremble slightly and knew that she was worried inside.
When he heard the old lady say such things indiscriminately, Shi Qianshuang understood that divorce was something that must be done firmly. Originally, she was worried that she would take the blame for something happening to her child, but now the old lady's attitude is that as long as something happens to her child, she will be fine. If there is no evidence, she will always take the blame. If she takes the blame, her reputation will be ruined and she will become a vicious woman and be despised by others.
The old lady looked at Shi Qianshuang in shock. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time. It was unimaginable that her daughter-in-law, who had always been meek, dared to propose divorce.
"Did you instigate it? You girl never worry about anything. Do you think you will be fine if you separate your parents? Others will only say that you are a child without a mother. When they hear that you have no mother, they should say that you are a child without a mother. It's a matter of upbringing." When she came back to her senses, she looked at Meng Li, her eyes filled with disgust. It was really unfortunate for her family to raise such a child.
Meng Li calmly stroked his unwrinkled sleeves and said casually:
"Grandma, don't blame others for everything. Aren't you the one who broke up my parents? If you hadn't worked so hard, my mother wouldn't have planned to divorce."
"You...!" The old lady raised her wrinkled finger and pointed at Meng Li. Then her eyes passed back and forth between Meng Li and Shi Qianshuang for a few times before she said:
"It's really naive. The county magistrate's wife is not happy in front of her. She is afraid that it is time to go out and suffer. But then there will be no way to come back."
Shi Qianshuang's eyes were indifferent, thinking that if he really left this door, he would never come back no matter how hard it was.
"Grandma, I'm in a bad mood." Meng Li said.
The old lady replied without thinking: "What does that have to do with me?"
Meng Li: "It's mainly because you're here that I'm in a bad mood."
"Lawless, really lawless!" The old lady was angered by Meng Li again. She was so angry that she wandered around the room several times. When no one paid her any attention, she snorted, pretended to be arrogant, and turned around to go out. .
After she left, there was a long silence in the room. After a long time, Shi Qianshuang said:
"Daughter, do you really not blame me? In the final analysis, it still affects you."
"What impact can it have? Today is different from the past, mother, don't worry, you can't make mother suffer for the rest of her life because of me, right?"
If she lived longer, she could live another forty years. For Shi Qianshuang, it was half a lifetime. Forty years was also a long time for her. She needed to be as happy as possible.
Meng Li comforted her a few words, telling her not to worry so much and to be brave if she wanted a divorce. It was torture to guard someone who changed her heart.
Although asking Shi Qianshuang to part with Liu Ruiguang now was as painful as cutting flesh, the wound would eventually heal.
