Chapter 179 Mistake
This is what Haoyue was waiting for.
She clapped her hands and shouted crisply, "What a voluntary gift!"
The sound was so clear that it startled the others.
Haoyue seized this opportunity and asked, "Madam, when you returned to the Li family five years ago, did Mr. Li tell you that you had to pay for all expenses yourself?"
Mrs. Zhou readily agreed: "No, he was saying that this is my sister's home, and we are all family."
"Whatever Sister wants, it's up to her."
This is very embarrassing and a very obvious mistake.
Li Shanglian hesitated for a long time and said nothing more.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mrs. Li glared at him fiercely.
Then he continued to defend himself to Haoyue: "Madam Dianshi, this matter is caused by the dishonesty of my Li family."
"But no matter what, it is our family affair."
"We have not committed any crime, nor have we harassed or abused Ajie and Jiu'er."
"I heard that Princess Tianzhen is kind and would definitely not bully the people without any discrimination."
This is just putting a hat directly on the princess's head.
If the princess took care of their family for Princess Zhou, it would be bullying the people.
Haoyue was angry with this family. The princess was such a good girl and would never do such a despicable thing.
When the princess sent her here, she explained: "The Li family expelled her because they thought Jiujiu was useless."
"For people who try to curry favor with the rich and powerful, the best punishment is to exterminate them. You just need to let them know that they have lost the wealth and glory that was within their grasp."
"When the time comes, you can find a more natural way to tell them that Jiujiu is loved by the Queen Mother and has a bright future."
So now, Haoyue asked Madam Zhou: "Madam, since the Li family does not accept you, then...are you still willing to be a daughter of the Li family?"
Mrs. Zhou hugged Zhou Huanjiu tightly.
"It's enough for me to have my children. I don't need these so-called relatives."
Zhou Huanjiu noticed her mother's fragility and hugged her back.
Rub the chubby little face against it and stick to it.
The Li couple had stiff faces and looked somewhat unwilling.
They only found out today that Zhou Huanjiu was on good terms with the princess.
So she is still somewhat useful.
But they also knew that what they did yesterday was too much and blocked all the ways to maintain peace.
So they could only watch as Mrs. Zhou distanced herself from their family.
Li Shanglian thought for a moment and whispered to his wife, "It's okay. The Zhou family won't accept my sister now."
"If she leaves, she will have nowhere to go."
"Even if we make her suffer, she has no other choice. When she is desperate, she will come back to us for help."
"We can still take control of it."
It is not clear whether he said this to comfort his wife or himself.
Haoyue flicked her skirt to shake off the non-existent dust and stood up.
"It's alright, I'll take the princess away now."
As he said this, Haoyue pretended to apologize to Zhou Huanjiu.
"Please forgive me, my Lord. You have just been conferred the title and I am not used to it yet. I am used to calling you Madam Zhou, which is really wrong."
This was an obvious clue, and of course the Li family noticed it.
"Wait a minute, what county lord?"
Haoyue kindly explained: "The princess has served the Queen Mother in the palace for five years and has won the Queen Mother's favor."
"Your Majesty thinks that he has done a great service in fulfilling his filial duty on his behalf."
"Then, I grant you the title of county lord."
Having said that, he left with the people and their belongings, regardless of the two people's stunned looks.
There was a large empty space in the house because all the things had been taken away.
The hearts of the couple also felt empty.
I never imagined that the niece who was thought to have been abandoned because of her disfigurement had actually never been out of favor.
The Queen Mother even gave her a title.
Even if, even if she couldn't marry a powerful man, at least before the Queen Mother passed away, their Li family had someone who could have a say in the royal family.
But they never imagined that Zhou Huanjiu was really capable of speaking in front of the Queen Mother.
Li Shanglian reflected on the stupid things he had done in the past two days and thought about what he had lost overnight. He turned around and slapped his wife hard.
"It's all your fault! Vicious woman!"
"What are you talking about? Zhou Huanjiu must have had his face bruised and was kicked out."
"I like it so much!"
"If it weren't for you, would I have driven my own brother and niece out?"
Mrs. Li covered her face and turned around, then she curled her other arm and hit back.
Li Shanglian was slapped so hard that his ears rang.
"Li Shanglian, you are shameless!"
"You were so happy when you were chasing people, but now that you realize you made a wrong judgment, you put all the blame on me?"
"If you are really a conscientious brother and a loving uncle, would you just watch them and their mother be left alone?"
"If you have feelings for them, would I dare to go against you? I will just watch you take them in."
"Even if I'm pretending, I'll pretend to be a good sister-in-law."
"Why are you glaring at me?"
"That's your sister, your niece."
"I have no blood relation to him."
"I don't have to help them, but you! You should."
"You useless thing, you missed the ladder to heaven and now you blame your wife."
"Bah!"
The couple, who were usually united, pushed and shoved each other because of this incident and had a huge argument.
The harmony maintained by interests fell apart.
