Sunlight streamed down, and Xiao Xinyan stood motionless, her gaze fixed on Liang Xunling.
It wasn't that she was seeing things; the black handprint on her aunt's body was indeed a little darker than before.
But the "bald man" wasn't on her aunt's body, so Xiao Xinyan couldn't question him about what was going on.
But the little boy had a strong premonition—
If my aunt still doesn't take precautions, something even worse might happen to her.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xinyan frowned, unsure how to remind her aunt in a way that would convince her of what she was saying...
The old master of the Li family listened patiently to Liang Xunling's complaints, but felt that she was just being unreasonable. He frowned and asked in return:
"So you're blaming all these unexpected things on Xiao Yanbao?"
This is utter nonsense!
The old man of the Li family was a staunch materialist; he didn't believe in any curses.
As long as you have righteousness in your heart, you will naturally be immune to all poisons.
"If it weren't for her curse, how could I have been so unlucky?"
Liang Xunling had already blamed all the bad luck she had encountered on Xiao Xinyan, so no matter what the people around her said, they couldn't change her prejudice against Xiao Xinyan.
She glared fiercely at Xiao Xinyan, gritting her teeth as she said, "It must be because of this little jinx that my luck has changed, making me so unlucky!"
It's all her fault!
It seems the old man is now more biased towards the third branch of the family.
If the old man were to hand over all the inheritance rights of the Li family to the third branch, then the eldest branch would get nothing.
A shrewd and calculating glint flashed in Liang Xunling's eyes; she absolutely could not let such a situation happen!
"What evidence do you have to prove that all of this is related to Yanbao?"
Zhong Jingyi stood firmly by her daughter's side, protecting her, and retorted defiantly to Liang Xunling, "Yanbao wasn't by your side when you were down on your luck, so why are you blaming her for all of this?"
"Does this need any more evidence? If your daughter hadn't said some unlucky things to me, would I have become so unlucky?"
Liang Xunling, with the air of a shrew cursing in the street, rolled her eyes at Zhong Jingyi and said, "Instead of standing here so righteously protecting your own, you should teach this country bumpkin a lesson."
He speaks without restraint and uses vulgar language.
The faces of the old man and woman of the Li family turned dark and ugly. Ever since their eldest daughter-in-law, Liang Xunling, entered the Li family, she has been constantly finding fault and causing trouble.
Initially, the two elders were not very supportive of their eldest son Li Qirui's marriage to Liang Xunling, since Liang Xunling's background was not good and did not meet the eldest son of the Li family's criteria for choosing a spouse.
However, Li Qirui was determined to marry Liang Xunling and make her his wife no matter what.
At the time, the matriarch of the Li family was engrossed in "Dream of the Red Chamber." Because she did not want to see the tragedy of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu happen in their Li family, she persuaded the patriarch of the Li family to agree to the marriage.
Because of Li Qirui's unconditional protection of his wife, the Li family members generally indulged Liang Xunling, but they didn't expect that she would develop bad habits, always finding fault with this or that.
Now it's gotten even worse; they're even targeting a three-and-a-half-year-old child.
Xiao Xinyan stood there with a blank expression, blinking her eyes in confusion: What is a country bumpkin?
Zhong Jingyi was so angry at Liang Xunling's words that she was speechless. Just as Li Qicheng was about to stand up for his wife and daughter and confront his sister-in-law, a clear and pleasant voice came over.
"If my sister is a country bumpkin, then may I ask what kind of dumpling you are, Auntie?"
As everyone's gaze fell upon him, the seventh brother, Li Mujun, strode over. Though young, he already possessed a unique charm, elegant and refined, with a graceful demeanor.
He first respectfully greeted the old master and matriarch of the Li family, then greeted his biological parents, Li Qicheng and Zhong Jingyi, before turning to his aunt, Liang Xunling, nodding politely before continuing:
"Is it a sarcastic and mean-spirited filling? Or a divisive filling?"
After saying that, he smiled slightly, the corners of his lips curving upwards.
It gives off a feeling that even if I criticize you, I will still maintain politeness and elegance.
Li Mujun's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Zhong Jingyi's, but her temperament is inherited from Li Qicheng. She is the crystallization of her parents' love.
Xiao Xinyan's gaze unconsciously fell on her brother, who seemed to be speaking up for her. She thought he was so handsome!
The boy had clear, bright eyes, which shimmered in the sunlight. His features were exquisite, his dark pupils were like ink, and his lips were like pale cherry blossoms.
"you……"
Liang Xunling was speechless for a moment after hearing Li Mujun's words, and then turned to complain to the Li family patriarch and matriarch, saying:
"Mom and Dad, you heard that! This is the son raised by the third wife. He has absolutely no respect for his elders and is completely lawless!"
The old master of the Li family was no longer buying her act and said coldly, "Hmph, who is it that is disrespectful to elders and lawless? Someone should know that!"
"Dad, what do you mean by that?"
Liang Xunling stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and then resorted to her most classic tactic: throwing a tantrum.
She had reached a level of consummate skill; with a squeeze of her eyes, tears welled up, and she sobbed:
"If you really can't stand our eldest son's family, just say so. At worst, we'll all move out of the Li family manor. It would be best to leave only the third son's family behind so they can look after you!"
She looked as if the entire Li family had wronged her.
The old man and woman of the Li family frowned, looking very troubled.
The old man's greatest wish is for his family to be harmonious and for everything to prosper.
But because of troublemakers like Liang Xunling, the family was never truly harmonious.
“Auntie, if you want to move, you can just call a moving company and we can make your move happen in no time.”
Li Mujun had long disliked her aunt's behavior, so she frowned and directly confronted her.
The boy's lips curled into a half-smile as he deliberately asked Liang Xunling, "If you don't know the moving company's phone number, I wouldn't mind searching for it online for you, would that be alright?"
To my utter surprise, someone actually dared to defy her.
Hearing Li Mujun's words, Liang Xunling couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and angry. She glared at him fiercely, "You little brat, when did it become your place to interrupt when adults are talking?"
As she spoke, Liang Xunling seemed to want to use the same trick again, reaching out to push Li Mujun, who was closer to her.
Seeing that things were not going well, Xiao Xinyan, who had been standing still, rushed over and stood in front of her seventh brother, Li Mujun, tilting her little face up and calling out to Liang Xunling in her childish voice:
"Don't you dare bully my brother!"
