Li Jingshu thought for a moment, "But the man who has always been by the young master's side?"
"That's him!"
"I do remember! What happened to him?"
Li Yunyan, a skilled actress, adopted a mysterious yet indignant expression and whispered in her ear, "I overheard their conversation. Li Mingshan wants to marry you, sister! Please, sister, don't agree!"
Li Jingshu frowned. Since her husband passed away, she had no intention of remarrying. She had Kang'er and Yan'er as her family, and that was enough for her.
"Yan'er, did you hear me wrong? How could he possibly want to marry a widow with a child like me?"
"That's what makes me angry!"
Li Yunyan said angrily, "Although Li Mingshan looks like a gentleman, he's actually a violent person! I heard that his servants are always beaten by him, and I even witnessed it once!"
"Is this really true?"
“Yes!” Li Yunyan covered her mouth. “I also heard my husband say that he once beat one of his concubines to death, and he secretly disposed of her. Nobody knows!”
Although Li Jingshu had no intention of discussing the character of outsiders, this person was always with her sister's husband, so it was inevitable that the son-in-law would follow suit!
She pulled Li Yunyan closer, rolled up her sleeves and collar to look inside, and asked, "How does your husband treat you? He didn't hit you, did he?"
Li Yunyan raised her hand and hugged her chest.
She was talking about Li Mingshan when her sister suddenly grabbed her clothes and started tearing at her clothes. It was so unexpected!
She didn't want her sister to worry about her; she could handle those two beasts on her own!
She shook her head shyly, "Sister, don't look! My husband treats me very well! He has never laid a hand on me!"
"That's more like it!"
Li Jingshu released her clothes and reached out to smooth out the wrinkles. "That's more like it! He swore an oath before the ancestral tablets of the Li family that he would be with you for life and treat you well forever! That's why I agreed to let you marry him!"
Li Yunyan lowered her eyes. To outsiders, Shen Fengxian was devoted to his wife, who had been childless for four years, and didn't even have a concubine. If he hadn't suspected her of discovering his shameful affair, he might have continued to act with her for the rest of his life!
Isn't that what life is all about—one person for life, one love for one person?
She chuckled softly and changed the subject.
"Sister, promise me! No matter what conditions Li Mingshan offers you, or if he pretends to admire you, it's all fake! He's a bad person! You absolutely cannot marry him!"
Seeing her younger sister worry about her, Li Jingshu felt a warm feeling well up in her heart.
She patted her hand, "Okay, okay! I promise you! Even if Li Mingshan brought me a mountain of gold, I wouldn't marry him! Alright?!"
"Yes!" Li Yunyan nodded vigorously, but still worried, she emphasized again, "If he uses me to blackmail you, you can't agree to it! If anything happens, you must tell me first! We'll discuss and decide together!"
Li Jingshu felt that Li Yunyan was acting strangely today. Why did she keep emphasizing something that was clearly a trivial matter?
"Yan'er, is there something else you know that you haven't told your sister?"
Li Yunyan's eyes flickered, realizing that she might be too nervous.
She put on a proud smile and shook her head. "I'm just concerned about my sister! My sister is so good, if she wants to get married in the future, she'll have to get my permission first!"
"You!"
Li Jingshu flicked her forehead. "You're overthinking it! I don't want to get married. I just want to raise Kang'er safely and then watch you have a house full of children and grandchildren. That will be enough for me!"
Li Yunyan nodded vigorously.
Take it one step at a time. First, break the current situation. If a suitable man appears for her sister in the future, she will do her best to bring them together!
Liu Wenkang joined in, nodding his little head and saying, "Mother, Aunt, when Kang'er grows up, I will protect you!"
His round eyes blinked, and Li Yunyan's heart melted at the sight of him. She cupped his face and rubbed it vigorously.
"Our Kang'er is such a good boy!"
Kang'er's face was being squeezed by her aunt, but she didn't flinch, just laughed happily, like a silly, innocent girl.
After finishing discussing the important matters, Li Yunyan brought up a minor one.
"Sister, is Huajinge still busy? If I want to take Dongyun back to the Shen residence, do you have enough staff in your shop?" If not, she will go directly to the brokerage to buy people.
"sure!"
Li Jingshu's eyes lit up. "You said before that the Shen family had strict rules and didn't allow you to bring your own maids. How come you can now?"
Li Yunyan's answer was flawless, "My husband noticed that I wasn't quite comfortable using the servants from the Shen family, so he asked my mother-in-law for help!"
"That's wonderful! You're very kind, young master!"
Li Jingshu quickly called Dongyun in, "You don't know, Dongyun keeps talking about you in my ear all day long, my ears are about to fall off!"
Li Yunyan smiled. Dongyun was someone she had grown up with, so her loyalty was not a concern! This was also the first reason why she thought of bringing Dongyun back.
After Dongyun entered, she bowed and then looked at Li Yunyan hesitantly, like a little kitten that had been abandoned.
"Miss."
Li Yunyan chuckled and said, "Go pack your things! Come back to the Shen residence with me in a bit!"
"real?!"
Dongyun jumped up, as if afraid she would change her mind, "This servant will go and pack it right away!"
Then they ran away in a flash.
Li Jingshu smiled at Li Yunyan, "See! I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Li Yunyan laughed and pulled out a stack of papers from her bosom. "I asked my sister for Dongyun, so I have to compensate her with something, right?"
