Li's father and mother sat aside, quietly listening to their little daughter chirping like a little bird. A hint of sadness appeared on their faces, and their brows were slightly furrowed.
Logically speaking, the method displayed by Jiang Mianmian should have been a secret that they needed to carefully conceal.
But if this matter accidentally leaked out and reached the ears of the royal family, the consequences would be unimaginable!
After all, how could such astonishing abilities not arouse suspicion and fear among the royal family? Would Jiang Mianmian be able to protect herself at that point? Would her daughter be implicated, and in turn, the Li family itself be implicated?
Father Li thought to himself that he must remind his daughter and son-in-law later. This was no trivial matter.
However, at this moment, Li's mother suddenly recalled Jiang Mianmian's extraordinary abilities and the so-called "truths" that she inadvertently revealed.
When she thought of this, her face instantly became extremely gloomy. She turned her head abruptly, staring intently at Father Li beside her, and asked in a cold tone:
"Li Chuan, tell me clearly, who is that woman you keep outside?"
Father Li was suddenly asked by Mother Li, but he was helpless. Yesterday, when he came back from the Marquis' Mansion, Mother Li kept asking him about this matter, which led to a big quarrel between the two. They are still angry about it!
Father Li was sitting in a chair thinking about something. When he was asked this question by Mother Li out of the blue, he was a little at a loss, but he had no way to deal with Mother Li.
Ever since returning from the Marquis' Mansion yesterday, Mother Li has been asking about this matter endlessly, which makes Father Li very annoyed.
Finally, the two couldn't help but have a big quarrel. They are still angry with each other because of this matter, and neither of them is willing to admit his mistake first.
Seeing this, Li Tingxue's heart was moved. She stepped forward and softly offered comfort to her parents. With just a few words, she managed to defuse the tense atmosphere. While her parents maintained their composure, the argument had ceased.
At this moment, Ji Wanru slowly woke up from the bed beside her. Li Tingxue hurried over and asked a few questions with concern. Seeing that Ji Wanru was fine, she stayed for a while before leaving the Li Mansion with Shen Xiuyan.
The two hurried back to the Marquis' Mansion. As soon as they entered the mansion, Li Tingxue didn't even have time to listen to the servants' responses, and ran straight to Songheyuan where her mother-in-law lived.
It turned out that she was feeling unbearable pain in her breasts, obviously because of milk engorgement. And little Le An was still hungry and waiting for her mother to come back to feed her.
As soon as she stepped into Songhe Courtyard, Li Tingxue heard the familiar voice of her mother-in-law Jiang Mianmian: "Oh, Tingxue, you're back! Le'an is so hungry that he's about to cry. If you don't come back, I'll have to send someone to the Li Mansion to look for you."
"Hey, mother, I was delayed by something. As soon as my sister-in-law woke up, I hurried back. Come, my little darling, it's time for dinner."
After saying that, Li Tingxue hurriedly took Le An from Jiang Mianmian and fed her.
"Tingxue, how is your sister-in-law now? Why did she suddenly faint? Is she okay now?"
As Jiang Mianmian spoke, she blinked her big watery eyes, her face full of genuine concern.
After all, Ji Wanru fainted in her own home. It would be perfectly normal for me to show my concern and say a few words to her, isn't it?
In fact, what she wanted to find out most urgently was whether Li Xingzhou really knew about the soul replacement of his wife, or...
"My sister-in-law is fine now, but she's just too weak. She looks listless and exhausted, and can't muster up any energy..."
Hearing this, Jiang Mianmian hurriedly asked, "Oh! What exactly did the doctor say?"
Things like this are really hard to explain clearly to others.
Li Tingxue knew clearly what her mother-in-law meant by this question, so she quickly replied:
"Oh, the old doctor said that my sister-in-law has always been too weak. She probably didn't take good care of herself on a daily basis. As a result, she fell ill so suddenly, and her condition has become extremely serious.
Fortunately, it was discovered not too late. With two to three years of proper care, it will basically be back to normal."
Of course, when she conveyed the old doctor's words to her mother-in-law, she actually considered it carefully and processed it appropriately, but doing so cannot be considered as deliberately deceiving her mother-in-law.
And after this incident, she became even more convinced of her mother-in-law's ability to save people.
However, she thought about how her parents were still arguing about what happened yesterday when she left her parents' home. She still didn't know what the situation was regarding her father being cuckolded.
What made her even more curious was whether her father really did have a mistress outside of the house? Or was he hiding a woman...
"Mother, I don't know why my parents are arguing so fiercely. My brother Xingzhou is too busy with his sister-in-law's illness to care about our parents.
My younger sister and brother are still young and ignorant, and are completely unable to manage household affairs. So, my daughter-in-law thought about going back to visit them, but Le An is still young and cannot leave me for a moment.
After a pause, Li Tingxue continued, "Mother, I want to go back and see her, but Le'an is still young, and I'm worried about leaving her in someone else's care. Let's take her back. I want to persuade my parents, but I can't take care of her.
