Chapter 72 I Shouldn't Have Left

Madam Hu smiled and knelt down, "Miss Zhu, you'll be fine once you get used to it."

Otherwise, why did Mrs. Li call him "little good boy" all the time?

And the silver notes in the eldest wife's pocket are just given away like white paper?

Zhu Shanshan found that even if it had nothing to do with Li Mingyan, she still cherished and liked this little girl.

There is no reason, I just like it!!!

"Eat slowly, don't be anxious. If it's not enough, there's more in the kitchen and we can make it now!" Zhu Shanshan sat next to Bai Yaoyao, took out her handkerchief, and gently wiped the corners of the little girl's mouth, looking like a gentle and kind older sister.

This scene shocked Mo Ju who was standing by. How could her young lady take care of a child with her hands holding a whip while riding a horse?

After eating a small bowl, Bai Yaoyao said she was really full.

Zhu Shanshan carried her down from the chair and held her hand. "You've eaten so much, you'll have indigestion. Come on, I'll take you to the garden!"

Bai Yaoyao was of course willing. She immediately pulled Zhu Shanshan over and asked, "I just wanted to go find my cousin! Sister Shanshan, have you met my cousin?"

"Is your cousin here too? What's her name? Who did she come with?" Zhu Shanshan held her little hand, and the two of them talked as they walked out.

"Her name is Li Yaojia. She came alone with her maid. It seems that she was with Madam Hu and Miss Hu Shuangyun!" Bai Yaoyao said.

Zhu Shanshan stopped immediately and asked, "What's her name?"

"Li Yaojia, she's ten years old this year!" Bai Yaoyao noticed that something was wrong with her expression and immediately asked, "What's wrong? Has Sister Shanshan met my cousin?"

Mo Ju covered her mouth and screamed, "Isn't that Miss Li, the one who was whipped and driven out by Madam before the young lady's coming-of-age ceremony? She...she is actually the eldest daughter of the Li family!"

"What?" Bai Yaoyao widened her eyes, and Aunt Hu also looked incredulous.

"Where is my cousin? Where is she?" Bai Yaoyao rushed to Mo Ju, grabbed her tightly and asked loudly.

"She...she was kicked out of the house by the Madam."

As soon as Mo Ju finished speaking, Bai Yaoyao's figure disappeared before his eyes!

"Yaoyao!" Matron Hu screamed and hurriedly chased after her.

Zhu Shanshan also wanted to pursue him, but she didn't in the end.

Standing there, watching Bai Yaoyao and her servant walk further and further away, she felt extremely regretful, "I... I shouldn't have left at that time. I should have saved Miss Li!"

Mo Ju cried, "It's all because of me. I ran to the kitchen and was greedy and didn't serve the young lady, so the lady used me to threaten the young lady. Otherwise, the young lady would definitely have saved Miss Li."

"It has nothing to do with you. If you want to blame someone, blame them..." Zhu Shanshan suddenly couldn't continue. Who should she blame? Fifteen years of education in the City Lord's Mansion made her unable to blame her mother.

Li Mingyan in the front hall had no idea what was happening in the backyard. At this moment, he was sitting next to several important figures. His attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and his words and actions were measured. No matter what questions or difficulties he faced, he answered them flawlessly by quoting from classics, and his expression was calm and composed, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

In an instant, he won the favor and praise of everyone present.

Especially when they learned that he had already helped his family run various businesses at such a young age, and that he had such a handsome, elegant appearance and temperament, many people at the scene were really thinking of marrying their daughters to him.

The city lord Zhu Hongchen became more and more satisfied the more he looked at him. This son-in-law was simply specially prepared for him, so he looked at Li Mingyan with even more satisfaction.
