However, even if Liu Shu died, Qin Tao and Li Shigui could still be supported by the Prince's Mansion by sticking close to Li Chunli.
However, having lived a life of luxury and used osmanthus hair oil that cost ten taels of silver a jar, how could Qin Tao possibly agree to use hair oil that costs only five qian of silver in the future?
How could she possibly agree?
Not to mention Li Shigui, who once studied at the prefectural school. He used to have a lot of face among the young men from humble families in the prefectural school because Li Chunli was the concubine of the heir Liu Shu.
Moreover, studying is the most expensive thing.
Not to mention that the cost of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones alone is considerable, wouldn't it cost money to go out for drinks, go on spring outings, or attend poetry gatherings with classmates?
So Qin Tao had to come up with a way to find a money bag for Liu Shu's family of three after Liu Shu's death, right?
Having this idea in mind, Qin Tao went to a clothing store to make spring clothes one day, and there she met the owner, Chen Hengrong, who came to the store to check the accounts!
By orchestrating several coincidences, Qin Tao and Chen Hengrong eventually got to know each other.
After a few more flirtations, things escalated, and with the child in her belly in control, Qin Tao finally entered the Chen family mansion.
Qin Tao had planned her marriage to Chen Hengrong for a life of wealth and luxury for herself and Li Shigui.
So, how could Qin Tao not be heartbroken and aggrieved as she listened to Li Shigui speaking up for Li Wangtian and criticizing her?
"Mother, I understand."
I know how hard it has been for you, Mother; you've done it all for me.
Li Shigui said softly to Qin Tao, "But he is still my father, he..."
He's not your father anymore!
Qin Tao interrupted Li Shigui's explanation with a loud shout.
"Chen Hengrong is your father!"
He provided for your education and gave you a future, my dear, are you really going to ruin all of that for someone who disappeared eight years ago?
Li Shigui was deeply hurt by his mother's words.
Yes, Chen Hengrong treated him well, using his connections and favors to get him into the academy.
Chen Hengrong even promised that if Qin Tao gave birth to a healthy child for him, Li Shigui would be able to inherit a share of his family property in the future!
Even so, Li Shigui knew in his heart that Chen Hengrong was not his biological father after all!
His surname is Li, Li Shigui!
His biological father is Li Wangtian!
It was Li Wangtian, the father with a broad back who supported him with his hardworking hands!
"Brother Gui!"
Qin Tao suddenly grabbed Li Shigui's hand and pleaded, "Listen to your mother, go back, go back and tell him... tell that person that I won't see him!"
Let him leave quickly!
OK?
Brother Gui?
Please, I'm begging you!
ah? "
Looking at Qin Tao's tear-streaked face, Li Shigui felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
On one side is his biological father, whom he has searched for with great difficulty; on the other side is his biological mother, who has done her best to raise him and plan for him for the past eight years. What should he do?
"Mother, Father...he really wants to see you."
Li Shigui finally said this to Qin Tao with great difficulty.
"Even just once, Mother..."
"one side?"
After hearing Li Shigui's words, Qin Tao immediately let go of Li Shigui's hand.
What should we say when we meet?
Tell him that I am now Chen Qinshi?
Should I tell him I'm pregnant with someone else's child?
Qin Tao's voice trembled, "Do I still have to tell him that after he left, I slept with another man and got pregnant?"
And it wasn't just one man?
Do I have to tell him all of this?
"Oh, or should I tell him that I've been thinking he's dead for the past eight years?"
Qin Tao's cruel words pierced Li Shigui's heart like knives.
He couldn't believe that Qin Tao would say such a thing directly to his face.
"Mother! How could you...?"
Why can't I?
Li Shigui spoke up for Li Wangtian again and again, and Qin Tao's emotions completely collapsed.
"Don't you know how I've gotten through these years?"
Don't you know how difficult it is for a woman without a husband to raise two children well in this world?
Qin Tao suddenly bent over and began to gag.
Li Shigui hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but Qin Tao pushed him away.
"you go!"
Qin Tao pointed to the door and said, "Go tell that person that I, Qin Tao, have long considered him dead!"
Tell him to get back to Youzhou and never bother us again!
Li Shigui stood there, watching Qin Tao's hysterical state, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
He froze, standing there motionless.
After a while, Qin Tao caught her breath and lay back down on the soft couch. Only then did Li Shigui come to his senses.
"Mother, you..."
Li Shigui tried to calm Qin Tao down, saying, "I'm leaving now. Don't get agitated, be careful of the baby in your belly."
"child......"
Qin Tao placed her hand on her abdomen, and suddenly she let out a cold laugh.
"Yes, if I give birth to a son this time, he will be the Lord's only son!"
With this child, we can all live a good life!
So, who does he think he is? What gives him the right to destroy all of this?
Li Shigui was speechless.
Yes, Chen Hengrong is already this age, but he still doesn't have a son.
However, Chen Hengrong married three times, and the first two marriages resulted in him having six daughters.
At his age, Chen Hengrong had already given up on the idea of having children.
Who knew that Qin Tao was pregnant with his child!
For Chen Hengrong, being able to have another child at nearly sixty years old is a blessing from heaven!
Whether the child is a boy or a girl, he, Chen Hengrong, will cherish the child dearly!
That's why Chen Hengrong was willing to marry Qin Tao!
Of course, if Qin Tao really gives birth to a son for Chen Hengrong, then most of the wealth that Chen Hengrong has created in his life will naturally be left to this youngest son.
Therefore, Qin Tao's words were not wrong.
But upon hearing this, Li Shigui simply turned and walked towards the door. Just as he placed his hand on the doorframe to open it, he suddenly heard a sound behind him.
"etc."
He turned around and saw that Qin Tao had wiped away her tears and had returned to her dignified and elegant demeanor as the matriarch of the household.
However, Qin Tao's slightly reddened eyes still betrayed her emotional fluctuations just now.
"Tomorrow...tomorrow at 9:00 AM, have him wait at the Xuanzhen Temple in the west of the city."
Qin Tao's voice was eerily calm at this moment, a stark contrast to her previous hysterical demeanor.
"I only saw you once, just once, and then I will never see you again!"
Tell him that if he dares to cause trouble, he will only face death!
Li Shigui nodded expressionlessly, his heart filled with sorrow.
He knew this was not a reunion, but a farewell.
