Chapter 293: With a little trick, Mrs. Li was coaxed
Madam Li asked in a deep voice, "Yulan, is that so?"
Li Yulan was shocked. How could Jiusu lie? How could she answer something that was made up out of nothing? Her panic and pauses aroused the old lady's dissatisfaction.
She quickly explained: "Grandma, maybe my sister misunderstood what I meant..."
However, Madam Li didn't care about her adopted granddaughter's explanation at all. She looked at Jiusu, her expression softening. "Jiusu, I called you here today because I hope you can reconcile with Yulan for my sake. It wasn't easy for her to take care of your mother during the ten years you were gone. I won't judge her by her merits, but by her hard work. I won't judge her by her appearances, but by her kindness. You two sisters should support each other and make the Marquisate flourish, okay?"
For her, the old lady lowered her stance.
Aunt Ju also advised: "Miss, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything."
Li Yulan knelt on the ground, looking up at Jiusu with a wronged look on her face. She kowtowed to the ground: "I don't ask for your forgiveness, I just ask for a place to breathe in this mansion. Please, please, please... please?"
She was kowtowing.
When I looked up again, Jiusu had already dodged away.
"Sister, can't you forgive me?"
Jiusu raised his hand and said, "I'm afraid that if a bad guy kneels down on me, my life will be shortened."
Li Yulan turned back with tears in her eyes, pleading in her aggrieved tone: "Grandma..."
"Alright." Madam Li emphasized her tone, slammed her hand on the table, and scolded, "I'm not discussing this with you, I'm giving you an order, an order!"
The atmosphere in the dormitory was much more serious than before.
Both of them were waiting for Jiusu to speak.
A flash of pain flashed across Jiusu's eyes. She said, "Forgive me for not obeying your orders. Li Yulan kidnapped my mother and pushed me off the cliff. I didn't kill her, which is already a sign of my mother's mercy. In addition, I have something to tell you."
"What?" asked Mrs. Li.
Jiusu said: "If someone hurts you, your granddaughter will never forgive you!"
These words warmed Mrs. Li's cold and hard heart. Even her son had never said such words.
After a while, she squeezed out a word.
"You are better at talking than your mother."
This granddaughter had a light touch of lip balm on her lips, but she was still very charming. No wonder many young and handsome men were fascinated by her when she arrived in Shengjing, and many of them wanted to marry Jiusu.
When I took a closer look, she was indeed quite pretty.
Jiusu lowered her eyes slightly, her hairpin shining beautifully in the sunlight. She said slowly, "Mother is a little aloof, but overall I still respect you. However, as a mother, how can I endure the pain of losing my own daughter? Losing a daughter during the confinement period is truly the most painful pain.
Just like my mother once told me, when you raised my father with great difficulty, I, your granddaughter, also admired you."
Mrs. Li thought of her daughter who had a miscarriage after giving birth to her son.
"Forget it, go back."
Jiusu bowed and left Shouchunyuan.
Li Yulan asked unwillingly, "Grandma, my sister still won't forgive me? Or is grandma also angry with her granddaughter?"
Madam Li said impatiently, "Aren't you tired of talking like this every day? No wonder they like Jiusu. You're not as generous and open-minded as she is."
Li Yulan was narrow-minded, and after being scolded, her whole body turned red like a boiled shrimp.
"Woo woo, Grandma..."
"Go out." Madam Li said coldly. She couldn't calm down after watching her adopted granddaughter leave. Suddenly, she felt a warmth on her arm and sighed, "An adopted daughter is an adopted daughter."
Aunt Ju asked, "Do you mean to give up the Second Young Miss?"
Madam Li shook her head. "Having one more chess piece is good for the Marquis's Mansion. Even if the Marquis still doesn't recognize her, I will still prepare a generous dowry for her. It's her choice of path, her destiny."
There were footsteps in the yard.
Li Yulan again?
She signaled Aunt Ju to go out and check.
Zi Tan Fu Shen: "Greetings, Madam. This is what the young lady asked me to give to the old lady. The other box is for you."
"Give it to me?" Aunt Ju was puzzled. Her attitude towards the eldest lady was not bad, but it was not good after all.
Zi Tan nodded and explained softly, "The young lady said that it's hard for you to accompany the old lady. You often go out to run errands and your body is cold. Please accept this small gift from the nanny."
This box is the same size as the old lady's box.
In the past, when someone gave a gift, the old lady would always get the big one, and when she was lucky enough to get one, it was always a small one.
Aunt Ju couldn't help but raise the corner of her mouth: "Thank your young lady for me."
Zitan politely withdrew.
Aunt Ju was lost in thought as she stared at the two boxes. It was rare for someone to think of her. She lifted the curtain and said with a smile, "Madam, the eldest lady sent someone to deliver something."
"What?" Mrs. Li suddenly realized, "Oh, it's a heating pad."
Seeing the old lady like this, Aunt Ju guessed her thoughts and shook her head and sighed: "It's true that they are not a family. They are not from the same family, but they are biological children."
Madam Li frowned: "Don't make me guess."
Aunt Ju said, "When you were young, your personality was very similar to that of the eldest lady. You protected your relatives and ignored others. Isn't the eldest lady the same? You protected your mother and didn't listen to anyone."
I remember when I was young, I used to take revenge and was not afraid of anyone.
Touching her two aching legs, the old lady refused to admit it: "She is like Yi Hui. Another one has come to the mansion to oppose me. Forget it, I am old too. As long as they don't make me angry, I won't go to them."
at night.
The Marquis was in his study when a servant handed him a letter, saying it was from Shouchun Court. He looked at the three large characters on the envelope and sneered, "Could it be that Mother would write an apology letter?"
Li Ningwan also knew.
There was no way a mother could write an apology letter.
Lin Gang said, "It should have been written by Li Yulan."
Li Ningwan knew it well. He opened the letter, glanced at it quickly, his face full of gloom. He threw the letter on the ground and looked up at Lin Gang.
"It's fine if you're just trying to cheat on me, but you even dare to invite me and my wife. That's really outrageous."
He rolled up his sleeves and gave the order.
"On her wedding day, Li Yulan is not allowed to take any dowry with her. Lin Gang, you will personally monitor it. If my mother prepares any for her, you must keep it all."
Lin Gang clasped his fists and said, "Yes."
Then, Li Ningwan's eyes revealed a doting look as she asked, "How are the preparations for the family reunion banquet going?"
Lin Gang said: "It's already in preparation, and it will definitely satisfy the young lady."
——
Since the morning court time was changed.
Emperor Xu had more time in the harem. The two new concubines were beautiful and seductive. He felt as if he had returned to his youth and heard about his son's romantic affairs.
He said nonchalantly.
"A one-month salary deduction is a minor punishment, a major warning."
The impeaching minister was stunned. "One, one month?"
Emperor Xu frowned and asked sharply, "Why? How about Master Wu, tell me how to trigger it?"
Lord Wu's body froze, and he knelt hastily on the ground. At this moment, his head was tucked into his belt: "Your Majesty! This sinner deserves death, this sinner deserves death!"
"snort."
Emperor Xu frowned, sneered, and left with a wave of his sleeves.
Eunuch Shang raised his head and said, "Dismiss the court!"
