The mother and son lived in the courtyard, and Luzhu arranged a room for Agui and his party. Agui, Qiniang, and Zhong Geer lived in the house where Chen Dadao lived, and Xiaowei stayed in Huafang to guard Ding Xiaoying.
Inside the house, Brother Zhong had already fallen asleep.
Qiniang put down the mosquito net for Brother Zhong: "Ah Gui, I don't think you should embarrass Madam."
Agui raised his eyes: "I made things difficult for her?"
Qiniang tied up the mosquito net: "Isn't it? This time the matter is really too big. If someone harms my child like this, Agui, you believe me, I will definitely stab him! But you... actually let Madam Forgive Xiaoying."
Agui didn't expect Qiniang, who was always docile, to say such simple and rude words. For a while, he didn't know what to refute.
Qiniang fetched water, wiped Agui's face, and said earnestly: "Madam is much more powerful than you imagined, just look at this room, even when our family was in its heyday, we never bought such a good one in the capital." House, don't go against Madam."
Agui said in a low tone: "Xiaoying is not your niece, you hate her, of course you say that."
"Agui!" Qiniang looked at him hurtfully, "Am I this kind of person in your heart? Yes, Xiaoying treats me badly, but I never hated her." After a pause, "Today Before."
Agui: "Look."
Qiniang explained: "But it's just because she did something she shouldn't do, she shouldn't throw an innocent child into the water, Agui, no one would do that."
Ah Gui pushed Qiniang's hand out to wipe his face: "Now you're calling her inhuman again."
Qiniang opened her mouth: "You know that's not what I meant."
Agui was silent, and after a while he said in disappointment: "Qiniang, you have changed. After being with Madam, you have become less and less the Qiniang in my mind. In the past, you would believe me in everything I said, follow along Me, now, you believe in Madam even more, and you are moved by her statement that women can compete with men, Qiniang, you must know that this is treason, the husband guides the wife, and the father guides the son. That's it, don't let her lead you down."
Qiniang originally wanted to enlighten him, but she got a little angry when she was stabbed, and threw the cotton cloth into the basin: "I don't think there is anything wrong with women being self-reliant!"
Agui was stunned for a while, and slowed down his tone: "Qiniang, I know you really want to go back to the old days, I promise you, when I save enough money, I will redeem you, I will buy it for you." A beautiful house, please send some servants, let you be the master's grandmother."
Qiniang shook her head, she might have envied that kind of life before, but not now, she thinks that now is very good, she doesn't need to look at people's faces, doesn't need to be attached to men, and eats with her own hands, and feels that she is not a dispensable person every day. people.
"Qiniang..." Agui said.
Qiniang picked up the basin and walked towards the door: "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about it, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow, don't wake up Brother Zhong."
Looking at Qiniang's annoyed back, Agui was angry and helpless, Qiniang not only dared to choke with him, but also dared to shake his face, it was all because of that woman.
But after Qiao Wei rejected A Gui, she didn't go back to her room immediately, but went to the kitchen to see the medicine that Jing Yun had boiled.
Master Yang said kindly, "Don't worry, I'll be watching."
Qiao Wei smiled slightly: "Thank you."
Master Yang didn't say any more unnecessary words. Not asking right and wrong, not discussing right and wrong is the minimum requirement for being a servant.
After the medicine was boiled, Qiao Wei returned to the room with the medicine bowl in her hand. Wang Shu sat cross-legged on the bed, resting her cheeks on her hands, and stared at her sleeping brother.
Qiao Wei smiled knowingly: "It's really guarding."
Wang Shu nodded seriously: "I promised my mother to guard my brother, and I will definitely do it!"
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows, she really was her father's child.
"Come on, help me take it." Qiao Wei handed the warm medicine bowl to Wang Shu.
Wang Shu held it gently, like holding a treasure in the world, not daring to spill a drop.
Qiao Wei half-embraced her son, and gently shook her awake: "Jing Yun, I've taken the medicine."
Jing Yun's consciousness was still vague, but he subconsciously knew to open his mouth. Qiao Wei took a spoonful and fed it into his mouth carefully.
Holding the medicine bowl, Wang Shu proudly said, "Mother, did I help you?"
Qiao Wei smiled: "Yes, Wang Shu helped mother to feed brother medicine."
Wang Shu is very happy.
A bowl of medicine, fed a small half of it, and I couldn't feed it anymore, Qiao Wei put down the medicine bowl, went to the kitchen to ask Master Yang to chisel some ice cubes, wrapped it in a handkerchief and placed it on Jing Yun's forehead.
"Why did you get this for brother?" Wang Shu asked curiously.
Qiao Wei explained: "Because my brother has a high fever, ice cubes can reduce the fever."
"oh."
"Ma'am, someone wants to see you." Luzhu reported at the door.
"It's so late, who?" Qiao Wei asked.
Luzhu replied: "He said that his surname is Liu, and he has been looking for Jing Yun all afternoon. He heard that Jing Yun is back, and wants to ask about Jing Yun's situation. Look, do you want your servant to reject him?"
Qiao Wei thought for a while: "No, it should be the person who participated in the rescue. I'll thank him. Wang Shu, look at your brother. If the ice cube falls, put it on it."
"Got it, mother!" Wang Shu liked to take care of his brother very much, and never fell asleep at all.
Qiao Wei went out of the yard and saw Eunuch Liu standing in the night: "Is that you?"
Eunuch Liu smiled brightly: "Actually, it's my prince."
King Yin came out of the alley, his handsome face was covered with a shadow by the night, his eyes were deep and cold, probably because of too much water, when he got closer, Qiao Wei found that his face was a little paler than usual .
"His Royal Highness Prince Yin." Qiao Wei greeted with a light smile.
King Yin said seriously, "I heard that Jing Yun has been found."
"Yeah." Qiao Wei nodded, "It's a little high fever and scratches, but it's nothing serious, thank you for your trouble."
"This king wants to see him." Yin Wang said.
Qiao Wei rubbed her chin: "You should know that Seventeen won't let you in, and then you should also understand that it's impossible for me to hug Jing Yun out."
"Qiao Wei!" King Yin was furious.
Eunuch Liu quickly winked at his prince, didn't they agree on the way? Don't make madam angry, madam is a woman, the prince should give in and pamper her, don't care about her, why did you get angry again after just a few words? Of course, it's true that Madam's knife mouth is too piercing. He has never seen such a vicious woman in his life.
Qiao Wei smiled: "No matter what, thank you for today's matter."
King Yin received Eunuch Liu's small eyes, and gradually calmed down: "Jing Yun is my son, it's my duty to look for him, and you don't need to thank him."
Qiao Wei raised her forehead: "Nth plus 1, he is not."
King Yin didn't know what kind of robes, but this did not prevent him from understanding what Qiao Wei said: "I know you hate this king, and you can deny it as much as you want, but facts are facts."
Qiao Wei said with a smile: "Seeing that you took the trouble to find my son, although you didn't find it, I won't quarrel with you, but don't expect me to have any good feelings for you from now on. When we meet next time... No, there will be no next time."
After saying that, he turned and entered the house.
King Yin's expression was a bit indescribable. Whether it was five years ago or now, this woman knew how to provoke him. He used to stalk her and he avoided it. Now he is willing to accept her, but she starts to keep him at a respectful distance.
"Ah." Qiao Wei suddenly turned back with a smile on her face.
King Yin's expression turned pale.
Qiao Wei handed him a basket.
King Yin took it and asked suspiciously, "What is this?"
Qiao Wei smiled: "Eggs, everyone who went into the water to rescue them today will have a share. Your lord is precious, so I packed two more for you. Thank you, and, you are welcome!"
King Yin: I really want to crush this woman to death, crush to death, crush to death...
…
It was dawn, and Qiao Wei was "startled" awake by a burst of itching on her face. She opened her eyes and saw her son's little hand gently resting on her face.
The son has not yet woken up, his little face is flushed, and he still has a high fever.
Qiao Wei squeezed his little hand distressedly, and looked at him fixedly.
Wang Shu had already slept at the foot of the bed, stretched out, Xiao Bai was pressed under her buttocks, with one foot resting on Qiao Wei's lap.
Qiao Wei is used to getting up early, but she didn't move today.
Luzhu was waiting outside the door. Madam would have woken up at this time in the past, but after waiting for a while, there was no movement, and someone removed the washing things.
Qiao Wei quietly accompanied the child in the room, unaware that the capital city had exploded.
The matter of the maid of the Duke’s Mansion throwing the five-year-old boy into the water was such a big commotion that the whole capital was in a commotion. All the streets and alleys were talking about the boy falling into the water overnight. Not surprisingly, the Duke’s Mansion was scolded. Got a bloody head.
Needless to say, the maidservant who was devoid of conscience, Li Shi was not spared either. To be able to teach such a daughter-in-law is evident in the upbringing and rules of the Duke's Mansion.
The only one who was not scolded was Ji Wan.
Ji Wan has always been the one who gets scolded, and the specific reasons are hard to explain, but this time, for the first time, she was skipped by the people.
At any time, the power of the people should not be underestimated. Even if they are just a group of ants in the eyes of the nobles, when they are really twisted together, it is still a headache for the government.
Some literati even made poems about the boy falling into the water, which spread quickly among the people.
In this era, the status of literati is very high, and they are sought after like celebrities. Whoever can write beautiful calligraphy and compose a poem with brilliant literary talents is quite a matter of face.
With the help of the literati, the incident was pushed to the forefront in almost a day, and the Duke's Mansion was also scolded as a sieve.
Under tremendous pressure, Jingzhaofu took over the case.
In the Liang Dynasty, there was an unwritten rule that a case that was not sued was not called a case, and the yamen usually ignored it. This time, Qiao Wei actually did not go to the yamen to beat drums and complain. It stands to reason that the yamen can do it. Open one eye and close one eye, but the common people make too much noise, which aroused the attention of the superiors, and it is difficult for the yamen to refuse to accept it.
Jing Zhaoyin leisurely drank tea in his "office": "Which one is it? Where do you live?"
The master will truthfully report the information he found out: "My surname is Qiao, and I currently live at No. 69, Qingfeng Street."
"Qing-Qingfeng Street?" Jing Zhaoyin was in awe. Eleven out of ten people living on that street couldn't afford to offend him. "Wait, why does Number 69 sound so familiar to me?"
The master said: "Did you forget the case of General Doro's Mansion last time? The woman who was imprisoned lives at No. 69, Qingfeng Street."
Memories rushed out like a flood that opened the gate, and Jing Zhaoyin suddenly changed color: "The one that was taken away by the prime minister?"
Master nodded: "It's her."
Obediently, I kicked the iron plate.
That woman's temperament is called a fierce one.
Not to mention that he still has the support of the prime minister, it may be difficult to get over this case!
Jing Zhaoyin didn't call anyone to Jingzhao Mansion anymore, mainly because he couldn't call anyone. He went to the door and explained the situation to Qiao Wei: "Madam, the current situation is a bit complicated. The people want to explain, and the higher-ups also I attach great importance to it, you now have two ways to go, one is to sue the Duke’s government; the other is to have an affair with the Duke’s government.”
Qiao Wei paused: "I can understand it privately, but what do you mean by suing the Duke's Mansion? Shouldn't you be suing Pomegranate?"
Jing Zhaoyin said kindly, "Madam probably doesn't know Daliang's law very well. Pomegranate is a servant girl who has signed a death contract, and she is not free. If she commits a crime, the master will also have to bear the responsibility."
Qiao Wei was confused: "Sit even?"
"No, no, it's not that serious." Jing Zhaoyin laughed dryly, "How should I put it? This... Let me make an inaccurate analogy. If the dog raised by my wife bites me, then I must ask my wife to pay for it. of."
In this way, Qiao Wei understands that slavery seems to have been abolished in the Liang Dynasty, but slaves are still everywhere. The servants who signed the death contract are like slaves, and have no human rights at all. When Qiniang sold it to her, she said that the government didn't care if she was beaten to death. The disadvantages of this kind of rule are also very obvious. If something goes wrong, the owner will be held responsible. Mother Qian didn't tell her about this, probably because she was afraid that she wouldn't buy them.
"This is the crime committed by Ding Xiaoying. I just want to punish Ding Xiaoying, and I'm not interested in suing the Duke." Qiao Wei said.
"Ma'am, what do you mean... to be private with the Duke's Mansion?" Jing Zhaoyin smiled, "Actually, the lower officials also think this method is more appropriate. The biological mother, Empress Lin, is the aunt of the Duke's Mansion. The Crown Prince and the Lord are also uncles and nephews. The crime caused the two sides to tear each other apart, making it difficult for adults to be in the middle, right?"
Not implicating the innocent is the first, not letting Mingxiu be in a dilemma is the second, and being grateful to Ji Wan is the third. Adding up all of them, there is no reason to sue the Duke's Mansion in court.
Qiao Wei said: "Then please tell the Duke's Mansion, my lord, I only want Ding Xiaoying's life, and I am not interested in suing the Duke's Mansion."
Jing Zhaoyin went to the Duke's Mansion. In addition to expressing Qiao Wei's meaning, he brazenly exaggerated his persuasion. In the afternoon, the Duke's Mansion sent people to the courtyard to meet with Qiao Wei. Negotiate the aftermath.
The one who came was the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion, also surnamed Lin, in his forties, not tall, with a slightly fatter figure.
Butler Lin didn't know that this was the prime minister's other residence, but Ji Wan mentioned that the Qiao family was a relative of Ji Wan's natal family, and since they were relatives of the prime minister's residence, it made sense to live in this location.
It's just that her attire doesn't look like a lady from the capital city, but her temperament is excellent, as noble as bamboo, as elegant as a chrysanthemum, without any makeup, she is naturally beautiful.
"Ma'am." Housekeeper Lin greeted, "My surname is Lin, and I'm the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion. I don't know the name of Madam's husband's family."
"My surname is Qiao." Qiao Wei said.
She asked about her husband's family, but she answered her surname. Butler Lin is not a fool, so she guessed something almost instantly, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Qiao, I'm sorry."
Qiao Wei said with a blank expression: "I have already said that I will not sue the Duke's Mansion. I don't know what the housekeeper Lin said."
Butler Lin smiled: "Madam has been wronged by this incident. Mrs. Guo is very sorry, and she specially asked me to visit Madam and the young master. I wonder how the young master is doing now? Is there anything wrong?"
Qiao Wei didn't like his joking and joking, she looked honest, and her words were all traps: "My son is sick and has a high fever so far, do you think there is something wrong?"
Steward Lin sneered, and put the brocade box in his hand on the table: "My wife guessed it would be like this, and prepared some things to make up her body, please accept it with a smile."
Qiao Wei didn't even look at it, and said: "There is no need for the things, butler Lin can take them back. If Butler Lin just wants to visit my son, then Butler Lin can leave."
As the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion, he is always the target of fawning. Even in the Prime Minister's Mansion, everyone is polite to him. This woman looks young, but she is very sophisticated in her dealings. Even if the government puts it in the eyes, it is still not clear how powerful the Duke's government is.
"Madam." Lin Butler's smile faded, "Madam's time is precious, and I will not go around in circles with Madam anymore. It is true that Pomegranate did something wrong about your son. The government will handle it, but for the sake of madam's love for her son, let madam handle it."
These words seemed to be giving her alms, Qiao Wei sneered: "It's really a great grace, but what?"
"But." Seeing that Qiao Wei seemed to be on the right track, Steward Lin smiled deeper, "It's about the dignity of the Duke's Mansion. Since the Duke's Mansion has given Madam convenience, I hope Madam will also consider it for the Duke's Mansion."
Qiao Wei said amusedly, "You want me to execute her secretly?"
"... Yes, not all of them." Lin Butler said with a fake smile.
Qiao Wei casually flipped the tea leaves in the cup with the lid: "Steward Lin, I'm a country woman, and I can't play like your big family. What do you want me to do, what are the conditions, just be clear about it." Say it, don't expect me to guess by myself, I'm too stupid to guess."
Butler Lin choked for a moment, and said awkwardly: "Since Madam is a straightforward person, then Lin will not go around with Madam. Madam must know that our Duke is the father-in-law of the current emperor. The face of the Duke's mansion is related to the dignity of the royal family. Now Yang The matter in the lake is too much trouble, not only the Duke's mansion loses face, but also the Holy Majesty. My wife hopes that she can consider the overall situation, and it is enough to keep personal grievances private, and there is no need to make trouble in the public.
You see, our second grandma originally forbade my wife to deal with pomegranates, but Mrs. Guogong allowed it, and Mrs. Guogong is still on your side. As for you, think about the difficulties of the Duke's wife for a while, so you can deal with it, but please come forward to clarify the misunderstanding for our Duke's government after you have dealt with it. "
Qiao Wei fiddled with the tea leaves for a moment: "Clarify the misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"
"That's right..." Butler Lin rubbed his hands, "Madam, please come forward and tell everyone that your child fell into the water... It's not the fault of the Duke's House."
Qiao Wei gave him a weird look: "I didn't say it was your fault, the pomegranate is the pomegranate, and you are you, I can still tell the difference. Although your second grandma hates it a bit, it is not in my hands." If you take advantage of it, even if I do, I won't take your entire Duke's mansion to court just because she hates it alone, if I do this, it's no different from Pomegranate, right?"
Butler Lin's eyes flickered: "Madam didn't understand what I meant."
Qiao Wei looked at him for a moment, he coughed lightly, and said with some embarrassment: "Madame Guo hopes... I hope... Madam, you can come forward to clarify the truth about your son's drowning. When I said 'clarify', Madam should clear?"
As Steward Lin said, he took out a brocade box from his wide sleeve, opened it, and it was full of silver bills, "This is your compensation from the Duke's wife."
Qiao Wei looked at the bank notes in the box without any trace, and roughly estimated that it was no less than ten thousand taels, which is really a big deal!
"Your wife wants me to say that my son fell into the water accidentally by himself, and it has nothing to do with pomegranate or the Duke's mansion, right?" Qiao Wei smiled lightly.
Butler Lin gave a thumbs up: "Ma'am is so obvious!"
Qiao Wei smiled and said: "Then what have I become? My son fell into the water by himself, and I even vented my anger on the maid of your Duke's mansion. The master of the maid asked me to argue, and I left the master behind unreasonably." Water, your duke's mansion is magnanimous, don't care about my reckless mistakes, I am really a villain, and you are really gentlemen!"
Steward Lin said in a persuasive manner: "Ma'am, no one in the capital knows you. Those vain reputations are useless to you. Why don't you just take the money and live your fairy life happily? If you don't like it, we can do it." Discuss slowly."
The most important thing the Duke's Mansion lacks is money, and Qiao Wei is not afraid to speak up.
This is not the first time someone has tried to bribe Qiao Wei. Compared with the daughter of the Enbo Mansion who can only bring out a box of gold, Mrs. Guo's hand is much more generous.
But so what
She didn't agree to the daughter of the Enbo Mansion at the beginning, and this time, it is impossible to agree to the Duke's wife: "If I really said that, would those people who worked so hard to search and rescue my son be as disgusting as swallowing flies?"
Butler Lin said nonchalantly: "Madam, why bother with those civilians? Those civilians are just a whim, just joining in the fun. What can they give Madam? The Duke's Mansion is Madam's backer. If Madam has any difficulties in the future, no matter what. Tell the Duke's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion will definitely settle things for Madam, as Madam is such a smart person, she must know which one you should rely on."
Qiao Wei said mockingly: "But when my son fell into the water, I didn't see any people from your Duke's mansion searching for rescue. They were all those civilians who you looked down upon tirelessly circling in the deep water. As long as my son has been missing, they have been looking for it for as long as possible. , This is what Steward Lin said, the support that the Duke's Mansion gave me?"
Butler Lin was dumbfounded.
Qiao Wei said with a blank expression: "I tell you Mrs. Guo, if you die, I will definitely deal with the pomegranate. As for how your Duke's government will deal with this public relations crisis, it is not in the scope of my consideration."
Butler Lin's smile disappeared: "You don't consider that Shiliu is a servant of the Duke's Mansion, don't you have the right to dispose of it?"
Qiao Wei's face turned cold: "Then I will sue your Duke's Mansion in court!"
Butler Lin patted the table: "How dare you!"
This tone is exactly the same as Li Shi's. If there is a master, there is a servant. In the entire Duke's Mansion, there is no one who does not have eyes on the top of his head.
There was no fear in Qiao Wei's eyes: "Let me reiterate for the last time that this matter was done by Ding Xiaoying. I will not blame the Duke's House, but the Duke's House will never think of me coming forward to give false testimony for you. Your Duke's House provoked it by yourself. Please settle it yourself! Luzhu, see off the guests."
"Yes." Lu Zhu entered the room, and said to Butler Lin in a nonchalant manner: "Please, Butler Lin."
Butler Lin snorted coldly, there are servants as there are masters, and he was kicked out by a maidservant unexpectedly.
Luzhu's master is the prime minister, so she didn't pay attention to a housekeeper of the Lin family. Luzhu rolled her eyes and closed the door with a bang!
After a while, the door opened again.
Butler Lin thought that Qiao Wei had changed her mind, but Lu Zhu threw out a bunch of things, and big and small bags fell on him. It happened that a box was smashed open, and a two-hundred-year-old ginseng fell out.
Luzhu sneered: "The century-old ginseng has the nerve to give it away to others. Is the Duke's Mansion already this poor?"
"You..." The two-hundred-year-old ginseng is definitely something that can be given as a gift, and few empresses in the palace can afford it. This maid actually looks down on it, why? Is that poor village woman eating millennium ginseng
"Hmph!" Butler Lin packed up his things, and returned to the Duke's Mansion with a livid face.
…
"Mother, listen, I'll tell you that she doesn't know how to be flattering, right? My sister-in-law blames me for offending her, and she won't let the Duke's mansion go if I don't offend her!" Beside her mother-in-law, she said in a whimpering voice.
Mrs. Li has added four children to the Lin family, three sons and one daughter, who are filial, considerate, and good at acting, not to mention much to please Mrs. Lin.
It can be seen from the seat where she is sitting, she is the second daughter-in-law, but she can sit next to her mother-in-law, but Ji Wan, the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son, is sitting in the lower seat with dignity.
Ji Wan peeled a grape, and said calmly: "You handed over that maid back then, and told all your guards to go into the water to save people. Who would blame you? Who would blame the Duke? If you want to make trouble, beat people indiscriminately, and the result? All the guards were thrown into the water, but they were kicked into the water by others, which is really ridiculous."
"Sister-in-law, I don't like hearing what you say..."
"When did I tell you what you love to hear?"
"Mother—" Li Shi couldn't beat Ji Wan, and hugged her mother-in-law's arm resentfully.
Ji Wan has been in the family for eight years, not only has no children, but also does not like to be coquettish and obedient. It is no wonder that Mrs. Lin would like such a daughter-in-law, but Ji Wan has a strong background and her son likes it. Mrs. Lin has nothing to do. Besides, this time, it is indeed Li Shi overdid.
Mrs. Lin sighed: "Your sister-in-law is right. You shouldn't have protected that maid in the first place. If you hand it over and leave it clean, nothing will happen. If you work hard to find a child for her, no matter whether you can find it or not, you will eventually find it." It's a heart, it doesn't matter if she doesn't appreciate it, it's enough for ordinary people to accept it! The problem now is that nothing in the Lin family can stand up!"
Ji Wan raised her fair white hand.
Mrs. Lin gave Ji Wan a helpless look: "It's fortunate that your sister-in-law is not confused."
"That's not what you said at the beginning..." Li Shi was aggrieved.
When she first returned to Lin's house, she cried to her mother-in-law about her experience with her body covered in vegetable leaves and eggs, and her mother-in-law was obviously on her side, thinking that woman should not fight against the Duke's mansion, and the sister-in-law should not elbow her Turning outside, it's better now, it's all her fault!
Mrs. Lin thought it was a trivial matter at first, so she was naturally willing to favor Li Shi, but now the city is full of disturbances, thinking that this daughter-in-law caused it, she couldn't help feeling frustrated.
Ji Wan hates it, but she never caused trouble for the Lin family. When outsiders mention Ji Wan, they always say how Ji Wan is so defiant and ostentatious. Ji Wan's dislike is reflected in the fact that she is too jealous, but the Lin family Known for being tolerant enough of her.
Looking at this second daughter-in-law, everyone usually praises her for being virtuous and smart, but when it comes to critical moments, such a big basket for the Lin family can't be blocked!
Mrs. Lin was going to die of anger!
Ji Wan took out the mirror and looked at herself.
And the mood to look in the mirror!
Mrs. Lin is even more angry!
A farewell, broke up unhappy.
After leaving the compound, Li Shi blocked Ji Wan's way: "Sister-in-law."
Ji Wan helped Zhuhua on her head: "What's the matter, second sibling?"
Li's righteous words said: "This time, after much deliberation, only the sister-in-law can settle it. As the daughter-in-law of the Lin family, the sister-in-law should understand the difficulties of the Lin family."
Ji Wan said calmly: "What's the problem with the Lin family? Isn't it living a good life? There is no shortage of food or clothing, and it's not that you are short of your monthly money."
Li frowned: "Sister-in-law, don't pretend to be confused. The outside world has already scolded the Lin family. Don't sister-in-law know? Now, the only person who can solve the trouble is sister-in-law. Why don't sister-in-law come forward and make peace once? That Isn't the woman a relative of sister-in-law's natal family? I see sister-in-law protecting her so much on the boat, and I think we have a very good relationship with her, and she will listen to what sister-in-law says."
Ji Wan rolled her eyes and looked at Li Shi: "Li Minshu, you shit yourself, why do you want me to wipe your ass?"
"You..." Li Minshu's face was reddened by Ji Wan's vulgar words, "Sister-in-law, don't speak harshly!"
Ji Wan smiled arrogantly: "No matter how ugly I say, what you do is ugly? When someone finds their son back and is in a good mood, hurry up and kowtow to make amends. Don't worry about how outsiders scold the Lin family. You will be scolded anyway. It’s a lot of meat to scold.”
"Let me kowtow to her to apologize? What is she!"
"My natal relatives, why, don't you look down on me?"
Ji Wan's background is enough to overwhelm the Li family by hundreds of heads, even the princess, she is only good-looking, but she can't compare to Ji Wan in terms of appearance. How dare Li family look down on her natal relatives
Li squeezed the veil tightly: "My sister-in-law also said that she is my relative, so is it so difficult to say something nice to my relative?"
Ji Wan said with a smile: "It's not difficult." The smile faded away, "But I don't want to."
Li Shi has seen how Ji Wan made those daughters of aristocratic families cry in anger, but Ji Wan usually does not target her. She felt that those daughters were too weak. Until today, when Ji Wan really pissed her off, she realized that Really angry!
How could there be such an annoying woman in the world? !
Li Shi's lungs were about to explode, he squeezed his handkerchief tightly, and his nails dug into his flesh: "I forgot that sister-in-law was scolded all the time, I think I've gotten used to being scolded all these years, so I don't care about reputation, but I It's different, I have a thin skin and I can't stand those gossips."
Ji Wan's expression didn't change at all: "Li Minshu, you want to use aggressive tactics against me, you're not hot enough, go back and practice for two more years, the second brother seems to have taken in a new concubine, you should be very busy recently , then practice as much as you want, maybe a year is enough.”
This is what makes Li Shi most distressed. She obviously gave birth to so many children to the second master, but the second master still has a woman on the left and a woman on the right, carrying them into the house.
For the reputation of being filial and virtuous, she dared not say a single word.
Unlike Ji Wan, Ji Wan would mercilessly beat anyone who came close to the crown prince. For so many years, Ji Wan was jealous and mean, and was called a jealous woman by many people.
Li said with a fake smile: "The one who is really free should be my sister-in-law, right? I am busy raising children, unlike my sister-in-law. I have lived in the house for eight years, and I don't have a single child. I don't worry about this or that. Where do I want to go?" You can go wherever you want, and you can be as happy as you want, no wonder you don’t even have wrinkles, and it’s great not to have children!"
These words are really heartbreaking.

Li Shi was furious!
