An hour later,
Li Zhan got out of bed, picked up the clothes that had fallen to the ground, and put them on.
The woman on the bed got up, her face glowing.
Then, her long black hair fell to her chest, and her skin was fair and flawless.
"Zhan Lang." Her voice held a delicate and charming quality.
"Jiao Niang, let me help you get dressed." After dressing, Li Zhan picked up the woman's clothes from the ground.
Seeing the woman's weak and helpless appearance, he said with a hint of smugness, his voice filled with a deep smile.
"No~" The woman blushed and her voice was shy after hearing Li Zhandi's words.
"What's there to be shy about? It's not like you haven't seen it before." Li Zhan said with a big laugh, looking at the woman's blushing face. His voice was full of pleasure.
After speaking, Li Zhan quickly went to the bedside and helped the woman put on the clothes he was carrying.
The flirting and ambiguity among them are numerous.
After a while, once they were both dressed, they parted ways at the gate of the courtyard.
The woman walked toward the courtyard where the old lady was.
Li Zhan then headed towards the study.
This woman was Du Jiaoniang, Li Juedi's biological mother, who was also adopted as a goddaughter by the old lady.
After walking for about fifteen minutes,
Du Jiaoniang then went to the old lady's courtyard.
As soon as I entered the courtyard, I hadn't walked far when I heard the voices of an old man and a child coming from inside the house, which exuded a harmonious and warm atmosphere.
A hint of smugness flashed across Du Jiaoniang's eyes. If it weren't for Jue Ge back then, it wouldn't have been easy for her to catch the old lady's eye.
If it weren't for Brother Jue, she wouldn't be living such a life of luxury today.
Therefore, she has always been very fond of Jue Ge.
Thinking of this, Du Jiaoniang smiled faintly.
Then, she walked into the house with graceful, lotus-like steps.
Upon entering the house, one is greeted by a harmonious scene between the grandmother and grandson.
The old lady was seen holding a book of the Four Books, coaxing Jue Ge to learn to read.
“Good boy, this character is pronounced Li, and this character is pronounced Jue. It’s just right for your name, Good Boy.” The old lady held the Four Books in one hand and pointed to the characters on them with the other hand, reading them to Li Jue.
“Li, Jue.” Li Jue opened his mouth to read, his face serious.
Her voice also had a childlike softness.
"Good boy, worthy of being my grandson." Upon hearing Li Juedi's voice, the old lady's face flashed with joy, and even her voice was filled with excitement.
"It's all thanks to Grandpa's excellent teaching," Li Jue replied, scratching his head and smiling with a slight blush on his face.
"Godmother," Du Jiaoniang called out to the old lady as she approached, her face showing respect and her voice filled with reverence.
"Hmm, you're back?" the old lady responded as Du Jiaoniang approached, then replied in a flat tone.
Seeing the blush on Du Jiaoniang's face, she guessed that she had probably gone to find her son.
A flicker of displeasure crossed her eyes, but her expression changed upon seeing her beloved grandson. Her face softened with a hint of tolerance.
"Mother!" Li Jue called out immediately upon seeing Du Jiaoniang, his face beaming with excitement. His voice was filled with joy.
"What did your mother teach you? Don't call me 'mother,' call me 'aunt.'" Du Jiaoniang's face didn't soften when she heard Li Juedi's voice; instead, she corrected him with a serious expression.
His voice was also filled with seriousness.
"Aunt...Auntie." Upon hearing Du Jiaoniang's words, Li Jue's face showed a hint of grievance, and two tears welled up in his eyes. He called out cautiously.
"What do kids know? Besides, there's no one around to take this seriously."
"My dear, don't be sad. Look at your teary eyes, it breaks my heart," the old lady scolded Du Jiaoniang upon hearing her voice.
Then, she looked at Li Jue with a pained expression and said, her voice softening considerably.
“Godmother, although there are no outsiders here now, there are many people around and many eyes. If this gets back to Madam, it won’t be good.”
After hearing the old lady's reprimand, Du Jiaoniang immediately tried to defend herself, her face showing a hint of caution. Even her voice betrayed a sense of apprehension.
"Alright, I understand. Besides, my little one is so smart, she definitely won't call me by the wrong name next time."
"Right, my dear?" The old lady showed a hint of displeasure after hearing Du Jiaoniang's words, then lowered her head to coax Li Jue in front of her.
"Yes, Grandpa, I won't call you by the wrong name again next time."
"Auntie," Li Jue assured her earnestly. Then, he turned to Du Jiaoniang and called out cautiously.
"Hmm, good boy, that's great." The old lady smiled with satisfaction after hearing Li Juedi's voice. Her voice was full of joy.
“Godmother, what should we do about Madam? Juege is about to go to school, but everyone in the capital knows that the private school in Madam's family is the best.”
"Du Jiaoniang said with a worried expression. Her voice also revealed a hint of concern."
"Don't worry, I know Qian Niang best. She probably hasn't let go of the idea of having her own child yet."
"However, she has always been gentle, and in the end she will remember Jue Ge as her own."
The old lady patted Li Juedi's back as she spoke, her face showing determination and her voice conveying seriousness.
"Furthermore, if she is not afraid of being divorced and sent home, she will comply! After all, she has been childless for six years, and according to the seven grounds for divorce, she should have been divorced and sent home long ago."
"Given the current situation, simply allowing her to adopt a stepson is already letting her off easy," the old lady said angrily, her voice laced with sternness.
"Yes, Madam is indeed somewhat lacking in this respect." After hearing the old lady's words, Du Jiaoniang's eyes flashed with a glint of light, and then she said with a look of agreement.
His voice also carried a subtle hint of accusation.
"It's infuriating to think about it. I've been married into this family for so many years, and she hasn't even given me a son or daughter. It's really infuriating."
After hearing Du Jiaoniang's words, the old lady continued, her face showing anger and her voice filled with rage.
"Grandma, don't be angry, Jue-ge will be good." When Li Jue saw the old lady's angry face, he quickly stepped forward to comfort her.
There was a hint of worry on his face, and even his voice conveyed concern.
"Grandma, don't be angry. It's good that you're being good. Otherwise, when will I ever be able to hold my grandson?" The old lady quickly turned her anger into joy after hearing Li Juedi's words.
There was a hint of relief in his voice.
"Godmother, stop praising him. Look at how his lips are curled up."
A hint of joy flashed in Du Jiaoniang's eyes when she heard the old lady praising Li Juedi. However, she remained modest.
Even his voice exuded humility.
As for Li Jueyuan, a smile appeared on his face after hearing the old lady's praise.
After hearing Du Jiaoniang's words, he quickly put it away.
Adopt a well-behaved posture!
“My dear child is so well-behaved and sensible, you should praise him. Don’t interrupt him,” the old lady said immediately afterward.
His face showed a hint of satisfaction with Li Juedi, but his words betrayed a trace of displeasure towards Du Jiaoniang.
"Yes, yes, I'm clumsy with words. Brother Jue is truly clever and quick-witted." Du Jiaoniang quickly changed her tune when she saw that the old lady was somewhat dissatisfied with her.
He still had a slight apologetic smile on his face, and his voice became even more humble.
