There was no need for Yao Tingzhi to lie in front of her. The old lady nodded and believed what Yao Tingzhi said: "Yao Minzhi is lucky this time because she has the princess to protect her. We can't let her go on like this."
Yao Tingzhi understood what the old lady meant: "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely accompany Minzhi to recover from his injuries."
Yao Ting understood everything, and the old lady was even more satisfied with her. She felt a little emotional: "I was attracted to you back then, but you married someone else first. I didn't expect that after seeing you again decades later, you still captured my heart."
Listening to the old lady's words, Yao Tingzhi's smile deepened: "The old lady has always been thinking about me, which is Tingzhi's blessing."
Yao Tingzhi and her daughter did not stay with the old lady for long. They talked with her for a while and then left. When they were about to go out, they met the entrance of Li Liting.
"Hello, Second Master." Yao Tingzhi bowed.
Li Liting's eyes fell on Yao Tingzhi's face, with a covetous look in his eyes: "Are you here to accompany your mother?"
"Something happened to Minzhi. We are here to talk to the old lady and calm her down."
Li Liting had already known about Yao's disfigured face, but he was not upset: "She looks like a mad woman now, don't bother with her."
Yao Tingzhi naturally felt the fiery gaze of Li Liting, so she made up an excuse and took Yao Zhixue away.
Yao Zhixue looked at Yao Tingzhi's hurried steps, a smile flashing in her eyes.
Li Ting went in to visit the old lady. Before she could say anything, the old lady said, "Don't think about Tingzhi anymore. She is a smart person and will be of great use in the future."
Hearing the old lady say this, Li Ting was a little disappointed: "Mother, why didn't you marry Yao Tingzhi to me back then?"
"Forget it, it's been so many years, don't mention it anymore." The old lady looked at his expression and said with some regret, "Where have you been hanging out now?"
"Mother, isn't this also for my career? I hope those officials can help me more in the future."
"Your elder brother doesn't even help you." The old lady was filled with rage when this matter was mentioned. Li Yuan himself was a duke of the state, while his younger brother was just a small official and he didn't even help him at all.
"Mother, what are your plans for Yao Tingzhi?" Li Liting did not give up. He had played with all kinds of people in his life, but he had never played with this beautiful widow. Li Liting felt itchy in his heart.
The old lady slapped the table and said, "Don't have those evil thoughts."
How could the old lady not know what it means to raise a son by herself?
"I'm still alive, but your elder brother doesn't care about you. When I'm gone, I'm afraid he will be eager to kick you out." The old lady always planned for Li Liting. "If Yao Tingzhi can become Li Liyuan's second wife, and he can talk about your affairs more often in the future, your official position may be promoted."
Li Liting looked at the old lady with some suspicion: "Mother, big brother has very high standards. We have all seen what Meng Sangnian looked like. Over the years, no one has caught big brother's eye except Meng Sangnian. Although Yao Tingzhi is a bit pretty, she is far inferior to Meng Sangnian. How could big brother possibly like her?"
Even though he had some nonsense to say, Li Ting didn't dare to say it out loud.
Even if he had some feelings for Yao Tingzhi, it was nothing more than a playful one, and he would never bring her into the mansion. After all, Yao Tingzhi had a daughter, and he would not do this buy one get one free deal.
He doesn't do anything, so would Li Yuan be stupid enough to do it?
"Get out." The old lady couldn't bear to hear Li Ting say such stupid things, so she just told him to get out.
"Okay, I won't make you angry here." Li Ting turned around and walked outside. When he lifted the door curtain, he didn't notice someone coming in from outside. He bumped into someone and thought it was some blind servant. He raised his head and was about to scold him.
But when he saw the man in front of him, Li Ting was so frightened that he shouted obediently, "Big Brother!"
