King Qi was still resting in the study room, and when he heard the little servant reporting that the maid beside the eldest girl was asking to see him, he couldn't help being surprised, and quietly ordered someone to come in.
"The maid greets the prince."
Seeing the maidservant goddess's dismayed expression, King Qi frowned slightly: "But is there something wrong with the eldest girl?"
The maid said tremblingly: "My lord, the eldest girl went to the princess' place—"
The princess was recuperating due to insanity, and the prince was obviously unwilling to let the eldest girl get closer to a delusional mother. Today they are not optimistic about the big girl, they will be scolded.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked the maid became, and she lowered her head and dared not look at King Qi's reaction.
When King Qi heard this, his expression turned cold.
Whether it was inside or outside the mansion, the argument given was that Mrs. Li lost her soul and needed to rest because of the shock, but in fact, Mrs. Li was of course not crazy.
It's no wonder that Qi Wang can be happy that Sister Yuan has contact with Princess Qi.
But after all, he can pretend, even the maid who is facing his daughter can ask patiently: "So late, the eldest girl went to the princess's place without taking you?"
The maid's heart froze, and she hurriedly said: "After dinner, the maid said that she would read a book for a while, and the maids were not allowed to disturb it. Later, the maid went in to deliver water, only to find that the maid was gone... The maids split up to look for the maid, and found that the maid was gone. to the princess' place..."
King Qi's eyes were even colder: "You don't even know that the eldest girl is gone! She went to the princess' place. What if something else happened?"
The maid threw herself on her knees and pleaded guilty again and again.
"You didn't send the eldest girl back?"
The maid became more and more panicked, burying her head in a trembling voice: "The eldest girl said that she wants to sleep with the princess tonight—"
King Qi grabbed the armrest of the chair, and unconsciously increased his strength, before releasing it after a long time: "It's human nature for the eldest girl to miss her mother. In that case, you should stay there and take the eldest girl back tomorrow morning."
The maid did not expect the matter to be revealed so easily, so she kowtowed to King Qi again and again: "Thank you lord, thank lord..."
King Qi warned lightly: "Serve the big girl well in the future, and I won't be an example."
"Yes." The maid hurriedly withdrew as if she had been granted amnesty.
The door of the study closed, blocking the bright moon from the outside, and the study became more and more empty.
King Qi's expression turned gloomy.
He chose to do it this evening, but Sister Yuan ran to Li's place. Is this a coincidence, or—
No matter what the situation is, we can't do it tonight.
King Qi looked at the book in dismay, threw the scroll on the table, and decided to ask Sister Yuan tomorrow morning.
On Princess Qi's side, the mother and daughter ignored the anxiety of the maid and went into the house, and started talking on their own.
"Mother, are you feeling better?"
Under the light, Princess Qi could clearly see the worry on her daughter's face, as well as the pale face.
Princess Qi felt sour in her heart and almost burst into tears.
Her sister Yuan was not yet nine years old, but she was beginning to understand her worries, and it was all her fault, and that ruthless man—
Princess Qi didn't want to think about it any longer.
In such a situation, she knew that it was stupid to instill in her daughter that her father was not, and this would only hurt her daughter's future.
She can only endure it until her daughter marries a reliable family, and then she can be considered to have survived.
Don't be like her, who has worked hard for that man for so many years, but as soon as something goes wrong, he immediately abandons him, and there is no love between husband and wife.
Thinking of this, Princess Qi sneered in her heart.
It's not only the man who treats her like a dick, but also the vicious mother-in-law and her family.
But really, she couldn't blame her parents' family.
Back then, when she came out of the pavilion, she was dressed in red makeup and her dowry was generous, and her family was worthy of her.
But her murder of Princess Yan was quietly told to her parents' family, how could her parents' family stand for her.
Everyone in the world thought that she had to rest in peace because she was scared crazy, but in the hearts of her family, she was a sinner who brought shame to the Li family.
"Mother—" Sister Yuan looked at her mother and called out again.
Princess Qi returned to her senses, stroked her daughter's cheek and forced a smile: "Mother is fine."
Sister Yuan's face lit up with joy, and her eyes lit up: "Mother, if you're well, can you still be the same as before?"
Wang Fei Qi was afraid that her daughter would have unreasonable expectations, and sighed: "Sister Yuan, look at your mother's face, her mother is better, but her face is ruined, it is inconvenient to be the housekeeper of the palace hostess... You are Big girl, you must understand your father's difficulties, and help your father to share his worries in the future..."
Sister Yuan was puzzled and asked, "If my mother loses face, she can't be the housekeeper?"
Princess Qi hugged her daughter, tears welling up in her eyes: "Yes, does Sister Yuan know about the exam?"
"I know, a scholar can become an official if he is admitted to the jinshi."
"Yeah, but does Sister Yuan know that if a scholar is disabled, even if he is only eight buckets high, he is not qualified to be an official in scientific examinations..." Princess Qi patiently told Sister Yuan the reason for resting, and her heart was extremely sad.
Sister Yuan is her only flesh and blood, and she doesn't want to leave a crazy impression in her daughter's heart. For this reason, she is willing to explain it with another ridiculous reason.
Sister Yuan was so young, she seemed to understand and nodded.
"Sister Yuan, why did you suddenly come here so late?"
When Princess Qi asked about this, Sister Yuan trembled, and panic flashed through her eyes.
She came over suddenly because she suddenly fell asleep while reading, and a voice in her dream urged her to see her mother, saying that if she didn't come, her mother would die.
She woke up startled, and there was no one in front of her.
But the more she thought about it, the more afraid, and the more she panicked, and she ran.
She can't live without her mother!
Fortunately it was just a dream.
Snuggling up in Princess Qi's arms, feeling her mother's body temperature, Sister Yuan gradually felt at ease, and made an excuse to say, "I dreamed of you, and suddenly I miss you so much..."
Of course, I couldn't tell my mother such a ridiculous dream.
And Princess Qi hugged Sister Yuan tightly, tears pouring down like rain.
Today, she suddenly felt uneasy and had an ominous premonition, so she wanted to see her daughter, but she didn't expect her to dream of her and ran to her.
A mother-daughter connection, that's it.
At this moment, Princess Qi's idea of living became stronger and stronger: no matter how difficult it was, she could not die. If she died, Sister Yuan, who lost her mother, would be too pitiful.
The mother and daughter rarely slept together, and it was not until the next day that Sister Yuan left under the reluctant gaze of Princess Qi.
The first thing Sister Yuan did after she left Princess Qi was to go to King Qi to admit her mistake.
This is what her mother told her.
Now that Princess Qi is recuperating due to illness, King Qi doesn't want the people in the mansion to think that he is indifferent to his eldest daughter.
Asked the reason last night, King Qi dispelled his doubts, and gave his daughter a few words to let her go, and the thought of removing Princess Qi became more and more urgent.
Sister Yuan knew now that she ran to find Li, wouldn't it be more troublesome when she was older
No, I want to get rid of the Li family as soon as possible, and I just choose it during the day, while Sister Yuan is going to school.
