Lianyi walked slowly into the hall, and there was a sound of inhalation coming from the hall. Although it was very slight, Lianyi and the people around her heard it.
Lianyi's beautiful eyes moved around, scanning the circle, taking in everyone's astonished, jealous, and greedy gazes, and then she stepped forward and bowed slightly, saying:
"Meet my two uncles and aunts. Lianyi is here to show his respect."
Then, without waiting for Li Qin to say anything, she stood up straight, took light steps, and sat on the chair prepared for her.
Lianyi's outfit today was expensive but not the right one. She wore a worthless Liuyun gauze pleated embroidered dress, a complete set of Dongzhu head ornaments, and an imperial green jade bracelet on her wrist, which almost made Li Qinshi tear her handkerchief into pieces.
What it shows is that I am rich and I am not short of money, but unfortunately you can only watch.
After Lianyi sat down, the Li family discovered that there were two pink oriental pearls the size of quail eggs sewn on the uppers of the other party's shoes, which was extremely luxurious.
The eyes of the women in the Li family sparkled, and they wished they could pull the pearls off the pair of beautiful shoes. Only when Lianyi retracted her feet and her dress covered the shoes did they look away.
Li Renyu coughed lightly, interrupting the awkward atmosphere in the hall, and asked with a smile:
"Lian Yi, you've worked hard along the way. I wanted to bring you to live in the capital three years ago, but it was too late. You moved to the farm to observe mourning."
“Thank you for your concern, uncle. Although the people you sent arrived three months after my father was buried, I still remember this ripple of love.
It was just that the journey to the capital was a bit dangerous this time. The guards my uncle sent were not very capable. When we encountered villains blocking the road, they actually abandoned me and in the end, only two of us were left after being hacked to death by the villains!"
Lianyi’s main feature is sincerity and authenticity. As long as Li Renyu asks, she will tell the truth.
"And that old lady Li actually gave a cold shoulder to my personal maid. How much does she despise me? Then why did she go to pick me up? I don't think this was arranged by my aunt. No mistress would do such a stupid thing."
Lianyi looked directly at Li Qinshi.
"Don't worry, Lianyi. Although I didn't arrange this, I am also responsible. I was sick during that time, so I asked Aunt Sun to take care of the affairs of the mansion temporarily. I sent a tactless old woman to cause so many misunderstandings. I have already sold that old woman out."
Li Qin said calmly that it was Aunt Sun who did this and she would not take the blame.
"I see. I was wondering why my aunt would make such a low-level mistake. I almost resented her.
But since my aunt is ill, there is no point in asking my concubine to take care of the household chores. Isn't there still my second aunt?"
Lianyi stroked the emerald bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile.
Li Renyu's face flashed with anger, but he couldn't argue with the younger generation, so he could only wink at Li Qinshi, who then lazily said:
"Lianyi is right. I will punish Aunt Sun when I return to the backyard."
It would be best to take this opportunity to deal with this thorn in my side.
"This is my aunt's right. I won't interfere. I'm just telling you the truth. I don't want to create any rift between you and me."
"Yesterday, my maid passed on the wrong message. The mansion had already cleaned up the Fanghua Garden where your mother lived before, and was waiting for you to move in. I didn't expect that my illness would cause the affairs in the mansion to be in a mess, which led to Lianyi's big misunderstanding.
You should move back today! How can we feel at ease if you stay at the inn alone? Everyone knows that the cousin from the Li family is here. If you continue to live outside, your uncle will not be able to face it. "
Li Qin persuaded with a loving smile on her face, but the flash of resentment when she glanced at Lianyi's jade-white cheek betrayed her true feelings.
"Yesterday, I was taken to the overgrown Liuyun Garden by a maid. Lianyi was angry and felt that my uncles did not seem to welcome me very much, so she sent someone to buy a house. When I came to the mansion to pay my respects, they had already completed the transfer procedures."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and asked Wen Lu in a pretentious manner:
"Auntie Wen, where is the new house?"
"My lady, it's on Wending Street. It's a two-story house. It can't compare to Uncle Li's house, but it's big enough for you to live in."
"Uncle, when my house is ready, please come over with me and my aunt. It's a good opportunity to discuss my coming-of-age ceremony. I'm not familiar with the capital yet, so I need my aunt to help me."
Ripple said with a smile.
This sentence made Li Renyu and Li Qinshi's faces look better. They agreed without hesitation and tried their best to invite her to stay at their house for a few days.
Lianyi agreed to come back and stay for a few days, and then the matter was revealed. Then everyone went to the dining room and had lunch. Unfortunately, none of the dishes on the table suited Lianyi's taste. She didn't even move her chopsticks. She took a sip of tea, said goodbye, and left.
"It seems that my uncle's family is really in trouble. They can't even put together a table of decent dishes. The meat doesn't look fresh at all."
Lianyi talked to Wen Lu beside her as they walked, and the maid who was seeing off the guests twitched her lips.
"Miss, when we get back to the new house, I'll ask Minmin to go to Fuyunlou and order a table of food. Miss, don't say this again in the future, lest someone with ulterior motives hear it."
As he spoke, he glanced at the maid fiercely, and the other's head almost dropped to her chest.
"Don't worry Aunt Wen, I understand."
When she returned to the new house, Lianyi called Luo Ying to help her take off all the jewellery. She felt like a moving treasure house, and the only thing missing was a sticker saying "I'm rich".
"Miss, why do you have to provoke the Li family like this?"
Wen Lu said disapprovingly.
"It's to make them feel itchy even though they can't eat it."
Ripple said with a sly smile.
"If they really used some dirty tricks..."
"If enemies come, we will stop them; if floods come, we will block them with earth. Just wait and watch the show."
Lianyi waved her hand nonchalantly and went back to meditate and practice. Those evil spirits were still waiting for her to deal with!
Lianyi's appearance at the Li family was very successful and aroused the greed of the Li brothers. In the following days, they began to find ways to get close to Lianyi, with the goal of getting the wealth in Lianyi's hands.
But no matter what they did, they couldn't get a single penny out of Lianyi's hand. The cruel Li Renyu was ready to hire someone to kill him, but Li Qin brought an old Taoist nun to see Li Renyu.
"My dear, this is Master Tonghui. She has a way to help us find out where Lianyi's property is stored."
Li Renyu glanced at the immortal-looking Master Tonghui and asked half-doubtfully:
"Can you really get her to tell the truth?"
"Of course, I am asking about her soul, and the soul cannot lie. However, this Taoist technique is difficult to implement, and it will cost me most of my cultivation, so."
"What do you want?"
"I want her body to help nourish my soul."
"What does this mean?"
"If I ask for her soul, my spirit will also be hurt, so I have to borrow her body to nourish my spirit!"
