Chapter 87 Two slaps
"Mom, has my cousin left?"
Li Wan asked in a low voice to Mrs. Li who was observing from the window.
Ever since my cousin came back, my mother had been secretly watching from the window. The farmyard had poor sound insulation, so she heard most of the conversation between my cousin and Shen Yuexi. But for some reason, Shen Yuexi was silent.
"Your cousin and that General Meng have been gone for a quarter of an hour."
Madam Li turned back from the window, lowered her head and pondered for a long while, then murmured to herself, "He has no time to spare right now, so this is an opportunity."
"What opportunity?" Li Wan couldn't help but feel nervous when she saw a hint of viciousness in Mrs. Li's eyes.
She had seen her mother give her this look before, and someone was bound to be in trouble. Usually it was the one who had offended her mother before.
Madam Li walked up to her and held her arms: "Wan'er, it seems that Shen Yuexi has fainted due to your cousin."
"Ah, why did you do this, cousin?"
"Don't ask so many questions, just listen to your mother. That girl has fainted now, let's quietly carry her out and throw her into the wild..."
Li Wan was startled and opened her mouth to scream. Madam Li was prepared and covered her mouth with her hand. "Don't yell! It would be bad if you wake that girl."
Li Wan nodded quickly, and Mrs. Li put her hand down.
She had been obedient to her mother since she was little. Although she had a temper and her own little thoughts, she was simply unable to harm others. Now that she saw that Madam Li's plan was not good, she didn't know what to do. She trembled and said, "Mother, why should we harm her?"
Mrs. Li glared at her unhappily.
She had just heard Xiao Zhuo talking, so she leaned over to the window. She had intended to find an opportunity to let her daughter walk around in front of Xiao Zhuo, but unexpectedly she overheard the argument between Xiao and Shen, and even saw Xiao Zhuo knock Shen Yuexi unconscious and carry her into the room.
This opportunity was incredibly rare. Xiao Zhuo was busy dealing with the Western Rong to the north and would definitely not return midway. The villagers of Xiaogang Village were also preoccupied with this matter, leaving no one paying attention to them. And Shen Yuexi would not have noticed if she had fainted.
It's not easy to get so many good conditions together. Unfortunately, my daughter can't react.
"Don't you want to marry your cousin?"
"……think."
"That's it. As long as Shen Yuexi is eliminated, your cousin will have no one else by his side. From now on, if you stay close to your cousin, even a stone will be warmed up."
Men, who doesn't fickle? They get tired of the old and love the new. Xiao Zhuo and Shen Yuexi were deeply in love but didn't live long. As long as Shen Yuexi is gone, who will still remember the person they once were?
She has lived in the backyard of a deep mansion for most of her life. Even her own master is such a person, not to mention Xiao Zhuo, the crown prince.
Even though Xiao Zhuo is down and out now, as long as his daughter is by his side, if Xiao Zhuo makes a comeback one day, how could he treat her badly because of his daughter's relationship with him?
“But…if Miss Shen is killed, my cousin will definitely know that it was us who did it.”
Li Wan reminded Mrs. Li with a panicked look on her face.
Madam Li chuckled softly, "No, we'll just quietly throw her out into the wild. She might meet a wild beast, or a vicious person, or freeze to death in the middle of the night. Even if she's lucky enough to come back, we can still make the excuse that she stumbled out on her own. Even if your cousin asks, we'll still say the same thing."
"Mom, my cousin is so smart, I'm afraid we can't fool him."
"I'm her aunt, and you're his cousin. Even ten thousand years from now, we'll still be family. That girl isn't your cousin's legal wife. Even if she were to die, he'd at most be angry, but he definitely wouldn't blame us."
Li Wan wanted to say something but stopped herself and kept her head down without saying a word.
Madam Li glanced at her and whispered, "Mother is doing this for your own good. We have nowhere else to go now. Our only chance is to capture your cousin. From what I've seen, your cousin is unwilling to submit to anyone. Just wait and see."
Then she lowered her voice and said, "We still don't know who owns this world."
After saying this, Madam Li quietly opened the door and walked to the yard to get a short ladder. Turning back, she saw Li Wan still standing inside and waved.
What's wrong with this girl? Can't she move it by herself?
Li Wan hesitated as she walked out of the room, her hands clenched tightly into fists, her feet feeling as if they were weighed down by two large rocks.
Mrs. Li waved her hand vigorously in impatience.
After Wan'er successfully marries Xiao Zhuo, she wants to see how arrogant those people in the capital can be. At that time, she will make those who have bullied her kneel on the ground and beg for mercy.
When she thought of the scene at that time, hatred surged in her heart.
From being the high and respected wife of a marquis, she was reduced to a divorced woman overnight and was ridiculed and mocked by the noble families in the capital.
She has been holding this breath.
As soon as Li Wan walked up to Madam Li, she noticed the fierce look in Madam Li's eyes and took a step back in fear. Tears welled up in her eyes as she begged:
"Mom, I feel a little dizzy and want to rest..."
Madam Li stretched out her withered hand and grasped her wrist tightly, a hint of sarcasm on her lips, "Don't pretend."
Without giving Li Wan a chance to refute, Mrs. Li dragged her to the door of Shen Yuexi's room.
“Miss Shen, open the door.” Madam Li patted the door pretentiously and said in a low voice, “We have something to talk to you about.”
In case Shen Yuexi wakes up, this will not arouse her suspicion.
As she had guessed, there was no movement in the room.
Mrs. Li opened the door without hesitation and pulled Li Wan into the room. Looking around, she saw only a simple wooden table by the window and a bed against the wall. A few books lay on the desk.
The room was silent, and moonlight streamed in through the window lattice. The light blue curtain at the head of the bed opened as the door opened, and a corner was lifted by the breeze, revealing a beautiful face sleeping quietly on the bed.
Li Wan was originally trembling with fear, but now that she was in Shen Yuexi's room, her heart calmed down. Firstly, she couldn't resist her mother, and secondly, seeing such a beautiful scene made her jealous.
She took a deep breath and looked at Mrs. Li.
Madam Li placed the short ladder on the ground beside the bed and whispered to Li Wan, "I'll lift your upper body, and you lift your feet and place them on the ladder."
Shen Yuexi is an orphan and unwelcome second lady in the Duke's Mansion. She can only make some medicine, but she dares to compete with her sister Wan'er for a man. She is simply overestimating her own abilities.
Madam Li lifted the quilt from Shen Yuexi and was about to move it when Shen Yuexi suddenly shouted:
"Xiao Zhuo, you bastard!"
Mrs. Li shuddered with fear. Before she could understand what was going on, Shen Yuexi closed her eyes, raised both hands, grabbed her collar with her left hand, and slapped her twice in the face with her right hand.
Bang! Bang!!
The two slaps made Madam Li's head spin. She sat down on the ground, almost fainting. Her mouth tasted salty and fishy, and her front teeth ached badly, with a whistling sound.
"Mom!" Li Wan panicked and bent down to pick up a small, shiny white object from the ground. "Your tooth."
"Who did I hit?" Shen Yuexi sat up suddenly and looked at the two people beside the bed. "Was I dreaming just now... Hey, why are you two here? What's this ladder for?"
Mrs. Li covered her mouth and felt a burning sensation on both sides of her face. She was in so much pain that tears came to her eyes, but she couldn't help but speak.
"I...we knocked on your door, but you refused. We thought you...you had a sudden illness, so we wanted to use a ladder to carry you to see a doctor!"
Li Wan nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Miss Shen."
Shen Yuexi jumped off the bed.
"I'm fine, but Madam Li is bleeding so much, she needs to see a doctor right away. I'm so sorry... I was dreaming about slapping that bastard Xiao Zhuo, how come I ended up hitting Madam Li instead?"
"It's okay, it's okay... Wan'er, hold your mother's tooth."
