Seeing that Empress Dowager Jiang had stopped crying, Madam Li continued, "Aunt, you see, marriage is unpredictable. Perhaps Heaven has arranged this fate for me! But Heaven has been kind to me! Although I got lost from my family, my grandmother found me, and in the Luo family, no one treats me like an outsider. I've been married for almost twenty years, and my family still supports me! This time, it was purely because my cousin from the Li family lost his mind that he caused trouble. However, even though he's lost his mind, the Li family has accepted it. From now on, my son will be the one to call the shots in the entire Li family!"
“Look, if I find a good match, but his family isn’t good, and he’s the only one who treats me well, then my life won’t be very interesting! Life isn’t always perfect, is it? I’m already very grateful to God that my biological parents are still alive, and that I have my aunt, my cousin… Oh, by the way, Aunt, are your son and daughter older or younger than me?”
Empress Dowager Jiang: "...I have a son and a daughter, both of whom are your cousins. They are already married and have children."
Madam Li laughed: "Look, God has even given me cousins! My Muyan will have many more cousins in the future! When Muyan was just a few years old, I was sad for a while, but later, when I looked at my adorable son, I wasn't sad anymore. Cousin Li deceived my feelings, but he has a good appearance, and I feel good just looking at Muyan! Just imagine, if Cousin Li were ugly, and our child grew up to look like him, how upset I would be! I would have to worry about my children's marriages in the future!"
"So, once you've come to terms with it, life will naturally get better. The heartless man can have his mistress, I can have my money, and we can keep to ourselves. But when he does interfere, look what happens—he's gone mad!"
"Hehehe, so Auntie, don't feel guilty, really, I'm doing great! I believe my parents don't blame you either! You're their sister, if you're in trouble, why wouldn't they protect you? Do you think outsiders would protect you? Nobody wants that. Auntie, please don't cry!"
Empress Dowager Jiang looked at Lady Li and wiped away her tears: "Yuanyuan, what do the Luo family do? Tell your aunt, and your aunt will definitely repay them."
Madam Li waved her hand: "No need, no need. The Luo family is wealthy, there's no need to repay them. Besides, my brother and younger brother said that if it's true, they'll help me bring my parents over. Aunt, you know Mu Yan's situation, I'm not at all worried about him right now. Xiao Lian said before that Dad is sick, is it serious? Maybe he'll have to travel far away?"
Empress Dowager Jiang smiled. The compensation she was referring to wasn't just money! "Never mind," she thought, "we'll talk about it when my brother and sister-in-law arrive. 'Yuanyuan, your father's old illness has relapsed, so it's inconvenient for you to go. But he can come. I'll write him a letter! By the way, I think Xiaolian is quite skilled at painting. Would you like Xiaolian to paint a portrait of you? I'll send it over with you.'"
Madam Li nodded: "Of course! Xiaolian's painting is indeed very impressive. How about I rest here for a day, and you come back with me tomorrow, Aunt? Muyan heard about it and wants to come, but he's still injured, so it's not good for him to go out."
Empress Dowager Jiang was naturally willing, and said that they would go to the prefectural city together the next day.
Dinner was at the old house. When they heard about the relationship between Madam Li and Empress Dowager Jiang, the Gu family’s children and grandchildren just found it very strange that they could find it. Grandpa and Grandma Gu found it even more amazing. Was the Li family about to rise to the top?
