"Madam Li, I'll take a few children to see Mu Yan!" The matter was resolved, but Cai Xiaolian still had things to say to others, so Gu Shouxin took the children to Li Mu Yan's courtyard.
"I'm sorry you had to see this, Xiaolian." After Gu Shouxin left with the children, Madam Li smoothed her hair and said apologetically.
"Sister Luo, why are you telling me this?" Cai Xiaolian glared at Madam Li, then said, "How is the old lady's condition? Hanhan didn't explain it clearly just now."
"She fainted from anger and had to be taken to the doctor. Sigh..." Madam Li sighed.
"That's good! I couldn't bear to see Mu Yan just now. How could he, as his own father, do such a thing?" Cai Xiaolian said with lingering fear.
"Hmph! If it weren't for the old lady keeping him in check, and if those vixens in his backyard weren't so incapable of raising children, he probably would have abandoned Mu Yan long ago. Now, two formidable women have arrived, and he's even considering going outside to find someone to deal with his own son," said Madam Li.
"Sister Luo, what are your plans for the future?" Cai Xiaolian asked.
“Mu Yan’s father has gone insane and might die any day now. It’s better for Mu Yan to have an insane father or to lose his father at a young age than for him to have a divorced mother.” Madam Li smiled and continued, “Over the years, I’ve watched him bring one woman after another into the backyard, and I’ve turned a blind eye. Mu Yan is seventeen this year, and I’ve been married into the Li family for eighteen years. I’m numb now. As long as Mu Yan is well, everything is fine with me.”
“Sister Luo, have you ever thought about not living in the Li family? You’re not Mrs. Li, but you’re still Mu Yan’s mother. There’s no conflict. You can have your own life too,” Cai Xiaolian advised.
Madam Li took a sip of tea and shook her head: "My life is about helping my son deal with everything or anyone that threatens him while he is unable to take charge. Perhaps I will consider my own life when he is able to stand on his own! But after this, there should be no more worries! If he doesn't want to go insane, then I'll just let Mu Yan lose his father!"
The resolute expression on Madam Li's face startled Cai Xiaolian.
She actually admired Madam Li quite a bit. No matter how many concubines Second Master Li brought back, it didn't affect her mood. She could do whatever she wanted. But once someone Second Master Li brought back threatened Li Muyan, this usually carefree and easygoing person would become murderous.
A mother's strength is boundless; a mother's protection of her child is innate and commands respect.
Cai Xiaolian stopped trying to persuade her. Everyone has their own thoughts on life, and her modern ideas about life may not be applicable to everyone.
The fact that Madam Li did not leave the Li family does not mean that she has no life.
"By the way, Xiaolian, did you come here to see me about something? You usually don't leave your Zhoujia Town unless you have something to say," Madam Li asked.
“I did have something to do, but since something like this happened at your home, why don’t we talk about it after you’ve dealt with your business?” Cai Xiaolian said with a smile.
"Since you've already said that, do you think I can wait until everything is settled before asking?" Madam Li patted Cai Xiaolian.
Cai Xiaolian laughed and said, "Alright, then I'll tell you! Do you have a birthmark the size of a fingernail on your waist?"
Madam Li's eyes widened immediately: "You peeked at me while I was bathing? Only that good-for-nothing and my subordinates, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Purple, know about this birthmark of mine!"
Cai Xiaolian: "...Hmm, I peeked. Do your elders still have the things they had when they found you?"
Mrs. Li was taken aback: "You helped me find my family? That's not right. I know how to find them, how did you find them? Or did someone come looking for you?"
