Time flies.
It has been more than a month since Li Xia returned to Li Mansion.
In more than a month, she did not give up looking for Chu Ziyu's whereabouts.
However, the people sent out brought no news.
Under such circumstances, Li Xia's desire to kill Chu Ziyu became stronger and stronger.
Every time she thought about how a bastard like him was still at large, she almost bit her back teeth off.
"Miss, today is the winter solstice. Madam asked Ruyan to take you to the jewelry store to choose a set of exquisite headwear. There is only half a month left before your coming-of-age ceremony. After choosing the headwear, you will have to go to the tailor shop to have a dress tailored for the day of the coming-of-age ceremony."
Early in the morning, Ruyan walked into Lixia's boudoir carrying toiletries.
As soon as she came in, she started chattering about Li Xia's schedule for the day.
Li Xia was not interested. "Ruyan, I don't want to go out. There is no need to buy new headgear and clothes. I already have them at home. My parents buy me fashionable clothes every year. There are still many that I haven't worn yet. It's the same if I wear them directly when the time comes."
She doesn't care much about her clothes.
In addition, I also retain the idea of not wasting money.
She felt that she already had a lot, so there was no need to prepare again.
Li Fugui is the richest man.
When it came to food, clothing and other daily necessities, she never felt reluctant to part with the original owner's only daughter.
Although she has been bedridden for many years.
But Mrs. Li would still prepare many gorgeous and beautiful dresses and jewelry for her according to the current solar terms.
I just hope that one day my daughter will be in better spirits, dress up beautifully, and be in a better mood.
"Miss, how can it be the same?" Ruyan disagreed, "A girl's coming of age is a big deal. It's a rite of passage. How can you treat it so casually?"
She put down what she was holding and walked in front of Li Xia.
"Ruyan, what's wrong? I heard your voice from a long way away."
Mrs. Li passed by Li Xia's yard and thought of coming to see her daughter.
After listening to what Li Xia and Li Fugui said that day, Mrs. Li also thought a lot.
She believed in her heart that they were right.
People always have to look forward.
What happened in the past was in the past, and she couldn't let herself be trapped in the mistakes of the past.
It's not just her who is in such pain, but also her daughter and husband.
Even for the sake of the two people she loves most, she has to try to make changes and not let them worry about her.
With this determination, Mrs. Li has been trying to get out of this situation on her own.
Every day is full of vitality.
Everything is going in the right direction.
Li Xia saw the changes in Mrs. Li and was sincerely happy for her.
After all, people are all made of flesh and blood.
Mr. and Mrs. Li Fugui were really good to her, not only physically but also mentally.
They gave Lixia the parental love that she had not felt in 18 years.
Ruyan saw Madam Li coming in. She bowed slightly and said, "Madam."
"Get up." Madam Li raised her hand and asked, "Tell me, what's wrong? Did you have a quarrel with the young lady?"
Although Ruyan and Lixia are master and servant in name, they are as close as sisters.
The friendship they had since childhood made them inseparable, and they would rush to protect each other.
Mrs. Li had never seen the two of them blushing.
"Madam, the young lady..."
Ruyan twisted her fingers, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
The lady has to take care of all the big and small things in the mansion every day, and she doesn't want to bother the lady with even the smallest matters.
"Mother, it's my daughter who doesn't want to leave the house." Li Xia walked to Madam Li and said softly, "Mother, it's a coming-of-age ceremony, I don't care about it, mother, please don't worry too much."
Madam Li patted the back of Li Xia's hand and said, "Xia'er, what nonsense are you talking about? A girl's coming of age ceremony only happens once in her life. Not to mention families like ours, even ordinary people, as long as they don't treat their daughters too badly, will grit their teeth and work hard to organize a coming of age ceremony for their daughters. You don't have to worry about your mother's health. I'm not tired at all from organizing my daughter's coming of age ceremony. I'm full of energy."
Two months ago, the doctors had predicted that my daughter would not live past the age of 15.
When she heard the doctor's words, her eyes turned dark and she cried for two days. Then she secretly made a decision in her heart.
The road to the underworld is too dark, she won’t let Xia’er go alone.
If my daughter leaves, I will go to accompany her.
She would have no hope in a world without her daughter.
But now it's different.
Not only was Xia'er alive and well, her health was also getting better day by day, and she had given up the idea of dying.
During the years when their daughter was bedridden, although their family seemed to be doing well on the surface, many people secretly mocked their daughter for being a sickly person and a medicine bottle.
He also cursed Xia'er not to live long.
What's more, some even proposed to adopt their own baby boy to the couple.
He said that instead of spending all their wealth on useless charity, it would be better for them to use the money to raise a son.
In this way, someone will visit their graves a hundred years later.
The two men were so angry that they trembled all over, but they could do nothing about those gossipers.
Mrs. Li wanted to use this opportunity to hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for her daughter to prove to those busybodies that her daughter was in good health and would live a long life, so they should not be bothered to meddle in her affairs.
Li Xia also heard from Ruyan that during the years when the original owner was bedridden, those outsiders who liked to watch the fun said a lot of sarcastic things.
"Xia'er, mother just wants to let those people outside see that you are the daughter of father and mother, and you are hundreds and thousands of times better than their sons."
Mrs. Li is not a strong-willed person.
But she has endured too much over the years.
She must fight for this breath.
"Miss, Madam is right. Although our master is a businessman, he is still the richest man in Qi. Those people outside look down on Miss, which is like a slap in the face of Master and Madam. Miss's coming-of-age ceremony must be a grand one, so that those jealous people can only be jealous."
When Ruyan heard what Madam Li said, the days when the master and the mistress had suffered so much came to her mind.
She clenched her fists and anger showed on her face.
What those people said were harsh, but what they said was also true. The master and his mistress were speechless and could only feel sad in private.
"Mother, I will obey you in everything." Li Xia said, "Ruyan, put on my makeup, and let's pack up and leave the house."
Ruyan blinked her eyes and said, "Miss, that's great. I'll put makeup on you right away."
She immediately ran to the dressing table and picked up a pile of rouge and powder.
"Miss, you are so beautiful. With a little make-up, you will definitely be crowned the most beautiful woman in the world." Ruyan said with a giggle.
Madam Li also said with pride: "Xia'er combines all the advantages of her parents. I wonder which kid she will be in the future."
