Chapter 220 I Call You Mother

Li Yulan's eyes turned red with anxiety, and her voice became tense. "You're just a charlatan. You first claimed to be a real Taoist priest, then you claimed to be hired by someone. You just want to cheat people out of your money, right? Miss Jiu, you'd better get rid of him! I don't need her to treat me!"

Jiusu's eyes flickered slightly and he declined politely.

"It's a great honor to admit one's mistakes and then improve. I think he won't lie again, right, Taoist priest?"

Taoist Zhiqing clenched the copper coin in his hand, his nervousness not dissipating at all.

He took out a handkerchief from his bosom. "This is the money my employer gave me to slander Miss Jiu as a monster, saying that it was because of her that someone in the mansion became ill. The person who invited me was called Li..."

Jiang's mother reminded: "Li Yulan."

"Yes, that's right." Taoist Zhiqing saw that Madam Hou was about to take the handkerchief and hurriedly handed it to her. "I am not lying. There is also Li embroidered on it."

Sure enough, the handkerchief was very familiar.

The orchid above is from Shuiling's hand.

Yi Hui fainted from anger.

Li Yulan was flustered and hugged him anxiously, shouting, "Mother, I don't know anything about this. Please don't scare me, okay?"

Jiusu reached out.

Being thrown away by her.

"Don't touch my mother."

Yi Hui said weakly, "Susu, I'm sorry. I didn't teach her well. Don't be angry."

"I'm not angry. Let me help you get to the bed and rest first." Jiusu looked at Li Yulan coldly and reminded her, "Isn't Miss Li still sick? You're clinging to Madam so stubbornly. Are you afraid that Madam isn't weak enough?"

Li Yulan let go angrily.

Jiusu wrote a prescription and asked Zitan and Koushao to boil the medicine. Why were they afraid of the plot of drugging as in the novel? But she was not afraid because she could prove her innocence.

But her mother's illness couldn't wait.

When I think of the word "mother", my heart becomes hot.

Mother Jiang looked at the close mother and daughter, her lips curled up, and she smiled, "Susu, take good care of her. I still need to talk to Nian Yin, so I'll go back first."

"Take care, auntie."

Jiusu sent the person to the door, but did not go far away because he was worried about his mother.

In order to make herself look weak, Li Yulan didn't take her medicine for a day and deliberately exposed herself to the wind. Coupled with the scare just now, she couldn't bear it anymore. She leaned on Shui Ling and said tremblingly.

"It's over. It's all over."

“…”

Taoist Priest Zhiqing stood at the door with his head bowed, and went to greet her and said, "Miss Jiu, I have offended many people. Could you please allow me to go before the God of Wealth and have a chance to atone for my sins?"

Maybe, see a Taoist priest.

She will be more excited.

Jiusu said: "I will ask the God of Wealth for mercy, you go back first."

"Okay, young lady, I will definitely help you." He said sincerely, "The God of Wealth is the god of wealth for our Taoists. If I offend him, I will be guilty."

Jiusu agreed.

She went to the compartment and apologized to the God of Wealth. After she came out, Zitan brought the medicine. She knew the relationship between the young lady and the lady, so she consciously left space for them.

Outside the door.

Kou Shao said angrily, "This is so infuriating! This Li Yulan is exactly like the one in the novel! She's a vicious adopted daughter!"

Zitan hurriedly grabbed her and walked towards the tree.

"Keep your voice down, Miss is exhausted." She sighed, "We are in the mansion, so we can help keep an eye on Miss. I hope that if the Marquis finds out that Miss Li makes a mistake again, he will send her back to Shengjing."

Kou Shao clasped her hands together and said, "Evil people get bad consequences, evil people do evil... starve to death?"

Zi Tan held his forehead, "It's not impossible."

Feeling the bitterness flowing into her lips, Yi Hui opened her eyes and saw the person in front of her. Tears blurred her eyes instantly and she shouted in a hoarse voice, "Susu."

"Open your mouth." Jiusu chuckled. She scooped up a spoonful of medicine, blew it cool, and handed it over.

Yi Hui's eyes flashed slightly. This medicine is not bitter.

She would take medicine every day, and Yu Lan would feed her medicine every day, rain or shine, but she didn't like Yu Lan's attitude, which was complicated, trying to gain credit, and even had a threat that she wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal.

"Li Yulan is courting death. I will discuss with the Marquis and expel her from the Marquis's residence."

Jiusu said: "I can't make the decision on this matter."

Yi Hui held her hands and said tearfully, "Susu, will you come back to Shengjing with us? It's too dangerous for you here. Back in Shengjing, no one can bully you!"

I saw my daughter still blowing the medicine slowly.

She remembered drinking it all in one gulp.

"Okay?"

Jiusu shook his head and said in a gentle voice, "I have something very important to do here, so I can't leave easily. What's more, I haven't finished making the fine salt that the emperor asked me to do, so I'm afraid I can't go back now."

Yi Hui choked up and said, "I'll ask the Marquis to ask the Emperor for this task."

Seeing her daughter shaking her head.

She leaned on the pillow and shed two lines of tears.

Jiusu called softly, "Mother, don't be angry. I will definitely go to Shengjing next year. Besides, I promised the people of Chenjia Village that I would protect them through this cold winter."

Yi Hui had no way of hearing the subsequent explanation.

That name was as sweet as honey.

"What did you call me?" She raised her head, hope flashing in her eyes, her hands clenched tightly, as if expecting something.

Jiusu smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely go to Shengjing, and I will be with you then."

Yi Hui's eyes were red but he was smiling.

"Okay, I'll stay here with you this winter."

At this time, Lord Li returned home. When he pushed the door open, he saw his wife with a gloomy face, and beside the bed, his adopted daughter was kneeling and begging for mercy, her forehead was red from knocking her head.

He asked, "What's wrong?"

Yi Hui said calmly, "Let her speak for herself."

Li Yulan shook her head frantically, her hot face showing anxiety.

"That Taoist priest slandered my daughter! I really didn't hire a Taoist priest. I've already made you two elders angry. I'm not stupid or dumb, so I can't be so restrained, right?"

Yi Hui sneered: "You really don't know how to restrain yourself."

She straightened the blanket covering her legs. Susu had given it to her personally, and it was particularly warm. A flash of tenderness flashed across her eyes, and she described everything that had happened today in detail.

Lord Li put his hands behind his back and said with a gloomy face.

"Li Yulan, are you trying to cause trouble?"

"Father, I don't have any." Li Yulan shook her head.

Yi Hui threw a handkerchief embroidered with orchids and the Chinese character "Li" at Li Yulan's face. "With all the evidence and witnesses here, you still want to quibble!"

Li Yulan looked at the handkerchief and was secretly annoyed at the servant for being so stupid and inconsiderate.

She said in panic: "No, no, someone must have framed her. Even if my daughter framed Jiusu, she wouldn't be stupid enough to use the handkerchief that represents her identity to do something bad, right?"

It's really stupid.

But there is always a loophole in a perfect plan.

What's more, after trying to provoke and frame Susu many times but failing, he must be getting anxious.

Li Yulan yelled, "Shuiling! What the hell is going on? How did my personal handkerchief end up in the hands of that charlatan, that stinking Taoist priest?"

Shui Ling knelt on the ground with a pale face and kowtowed.

"Madam, it was this servant who held a grudge against the young lady, so she bribed the handkerchief and gave it to her so that it could be easily discovered, in order to take revenge on her."

Li Yulan trembled all over and asked in disbelief, "Shui Ling, why did you betray me? Am I not good to you?"
