"Didn't I say it before? I met a miracle doctor." Li Sisi replied.
"Then go and find that miracle doctor!" Old Madam Xiao said, and reached out to pull Li Nian.
But she dodged it sideways.
He said calmly, "That miraculous doctor has been traveling around, and I don't know where he is now."
Old Madam Xiao didn't believe her at all: "I think you are just watching someone die without helping! Yun Ya's illness must be your fault. You just can't stand seeing our Xiao family doing well! Marrying someone like you is really unlucky..."
Li Nian listened to her repetitive insults and turned around to order, "Xiaobai, go make some tea and get some fruits."
Then he pulled Li Sisi to sit down and listened quietly.
Li Sisi originally wanted to retort, but seeing Li Nian's attitude, she resisted the urge and simply sat down with her to eat and drink.
Seeing the two people's attitude, Madam Xiao was so angry that she pointed her finger and shouted, "Don't think I can't do anything to you just because you move out of the mansion. As long as you are my daughter-in-law in the Xiao Marquis Mansion, you have to obey me! Look at you two, do you still have any manners?! You dare to sit there while your elders are talking?"
"Didn't you hear me? Are you mute?"
Li Sisi curled her lips: "Didn't you say that we shouldn't interrupt when you're giving a lecture?"
"Are you done? If you're done, hurry back! As for Yun Ya's illness, please ask your son about it, and don't bother Nian Nian and me."
Finally, he muttered under his breath, "He's like a lunatic, looking for trouble all day long."
Madam Xiao shouted sternly, "Shen! Don't think I didn't hear you! You're the daughter of the Minister of Rites..."
Here, Madam Xiao once again displayed her arrogance and willfulness to the fullest.
At the gate of Yunjing Courtyard, Lord Xiao got off the carriage with a stern face.
Because he announced to the public that his daughter was suffering from an acute illness, he did not dare to show any happy emotions in public.
At this moment, he hurried to Yunjingting to see his granddaughter. It was originally a very happy thing, but he did not dare to show his happiness on his face.
He went straight to the door of the Glazed Pavilion in the middle courtyard, and heard Madam Xiao's voice before he even entered the house.
His heart skipped a beat. Why did he come to Yunjingting to cause trouble?
Quickening his pace, Lord Xiao strode into the reception room on the first floor of the Glazed Pavilion.
Old Madam Xiao had her back to the door, so she didn't see him enter the room.
I only saw the two daughters-in-law stand up, look towards the door, and bow: "Father, why are you here?"
Old Madam Xiao turned around suddenly and saw Marquis Xiao approaching her with a rather grim expression.
"master……"
Lord Xiao didn't look at her. Instead, he looked at Li Nian and explained, "I came to see my granddaughter."
"She just fell asleep." Li Nian said, looking at Madam Xiao, "Father, why don't you come next time? I can take Mother back home with me today."
"What are you going back for?" Old Madam Xiao said with an unpleasant expression, "You must give me an explanation today about Ya'er's matter!"
Li Nian was getting impatient. "I can't explain this. Go back and ask Xiao Yunchen."
Lord Xiao listened to the conversation and understood the purpose of Old Madam Xiao's coming here.
Xiao Yunchen had already told him about Xiao Yunya's affairs. He just pretended to be sick to avoid entering the palace to choose a concubine.
However, Madam Xiao was a very straightforward person, and to avoid leaking the information, the two of them unanimously decided to keep the matter secret from her.
But he didn't expect that Old Madam Xiao would actually come directly to cause trouble for her two daughters-in-law.
Listening to Madam Xiao's increasingly outrageous words, Marquis Xiao shouted, "Enough! It's fine if you just make a scene at home, but now that my daughter-in-law has moved out, why are you still coming here to cause trouble? Yun Ya's affairs have nothing to do with my daughter-in-law!"
This was the first time that Old Madam Xiao was scolded by Marquis Xiao, and she looked at him in shock.
She pointed at Lord Xiao with a trembling finger, "Master, you... you actually yelled at me for these two outsiders? Ya'er is your own daughter!"
Lord Xiao said in a deep voice, "Don't make such a fuss! You keep saying that your daughter-in-law harmed her, but do you have any evidence? I'll explain Ya'er's matter to you when I get back."
"Explain?" Madam Xiao's red eyes were filled with tears, and she said aggrievedly: "Okay, explain it to me now!"
Li Nian spoke at the right moment, "If Mother is truly worried about Yun Ya, why not let Father take you to see my second brother? He knows Yun Ya's condition best."
Madam Xiao's face turned pale and blue, and she suddenly pointed at Li Sisi and screamed, "That little bitch just called me 'sick and looking for trouble'! Is this the upbringing of the Minister of Rites' daughter?"
Li Sisi slammed her palm on the table and glared at her: "Speak with some respect, and try scolding me again."
Li Nian held her arm and instructed Xiaobai who was standing beside her, "Go out and guard first. No one else is allowed to approach the door of Liuli Pavilion."
Xiaobai responded: "Yes."
After Xiaobai left, Li Nian looked at Lord Xiao with an unhappy expression and said, "Father, since you're here, why don't you make things clear? If Mother keeps making trouble like this, we can't stand it."
A trace of worry flashed across Marquis Xiao's face. After a moment, he sighed heavily, "Forget it." He reached out to take Madam Xiao's hand, "Come back to the mansion with me and tell me."
"I'm not leaving!" Madam Xiao took two steps back to avoid his outstretched hand. "Do you think I'm willing to come to this shabby place? We must make things clear here today! Ya'er is still lying in bed, dying, and you all act like nothing's happened. What are you hiding from me?"
"Enough!" Lord Xiao shouted as if he had reached the limit of his patience. He took a deep breath to suppress his anger and explained, "Ya'er is not sick at all. She was just pretending."
