Chi Bingwen was speechless after hearing her words. He knew that Li had done this behind his back!
Ever since he discussed this matter with Zhou and was rejected by her, he gave up the idea and tried every means to coax Zhou.
Unexpectedly, his good wife Li took the initiative to do it.
A cold light flashed in his slightly narrowed eyes.
Mrs. Li is truly virtuous to the core!
I didn't even discuss such a big thing with him.
Ever since Song Tingyue became the Marquis of Zhenyuan, no one in the court dared to ridicule or mock him. Instead, they praised him everywhere.
This feeling really made him intoxicated.
If one day his daughter divorces the Marquis of Zhenyuan, he will lose his son-in-law!
"As your father, I will seek justice for you!" Chi Bingwen said with a serious face, "You and your son-in-law should live a good life."
Chi Yunzhi lowered her head and said nothing. When she looked up again, her eyes were red as if she had suffered a great injustice.
When Chi Bingwen saw this, he felt very distressed.
"You should go to your Aunt Zhou first. She misses you very much." Chi Bingwen patted Chi Yunzhi's shoulder and comforted her softly.
Chi Yunzhi wiped away her tears and nodded.
Coming out of Chi Bingwen's office, Chi Yunzhi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a cold face and walked towards Aunt Zhou's yard.
Unexpectedly, when I was halfway there, I saw a maid pacing over there, and it was obvious that she was waiting for someone.
When she saw Chi Yunzhi, she ran over with her skirt lifted up.
"Fourth Aunt, you are finally here. Please go to the Madam's courtyard and take a look. If Concubine Zhou quarrels with Madam with her big belly, she will definitely suffer!" The maid Chi Yunzhi had seen her before. She was serving in Concubine Zhou's room.
After hearing this, Chi Yunzhi followed the maid to Li's yard. Chi Yunzhi then asked Hua Rong to go to the front yard to call Chi Bingwen over.
Before they got close, they heard a quarrel coming from inside.
Chi Yunzhi quickened her pace, which frightened Zhu Yin and Hua Rong so much that their faces turned pale.
She's still pregnant!
You can't run like this!
"Ms. Li! You don't have to worry about my daughter's affairs! Just take care of yourself!" Mrs. Zhou's eyes were red and she was shaking with anger.
"Auntie Zhou! How dare you be so presumptuous! How dare a mere concubine speak to me, the mistress, like this! Have you learned all the etiquette of respect and inferiority?" It was obvious that Li was also very angry and spoke without thinking.
"The bond between my daughter and son-in-law is stronger than gold! She has her own considerations, and as her biological mother, I naturally have to think about her! You sent him over quietly like this, aren't you afraid that the master will be angry when he finds out?" Aunt Zhou was so excited that her face turned pale and she looked very unwell.
"The master only praised me for being thoughtful! To win over the Marquis of Zhenyuan for Chi Yunzhi! She had a miscarriage before! If she had a miscarriage this time, do you think the Marquis of Zhenyuan would still love her?"
"Which man doesn't have three wives and four concubines? Chi Yunzhi can't give birth to a child for him, so what if multiple women give birth to children?" Li had a lot of reasons, and it sounded like every word she said was for Chi Yunzhi's consideration.
But when you think about it carefully, it's all a trap.
She had a preconceived notion that Song Tingyue liked Chi Yunzhi only because she could get pregnant.
Aunt Zhou also paused. She had never thought of this.
She tried to find something to retort, but found none.
Seeing her so angry, Li felt relieved.
"Mother has been working tirelessly for me. You should also consider my second sister. I heard she's not loved by Second Young Master Zhang, and is bullied by the maids in the courtyard all day long. Her life is worse than that of a servant."
"Mother, why don't you send a few people over to help Second Sister win over Second Young Master Zhang's heart? I think those two maids are pretty good, they should be the type Second Young Master Zhang would like."
As soon as Chi Yunzhi came in, she supported Zhou, who was shaking with anger, and frowned at Li, who looked a little smug.
Chi Miaoyan married and became someone else's concubine, something she would never be able to let go of in her life.
Now, just hearing Chi Yunzhi say this, her heart began to ache.
"You, you, how dare you!" Li pointed at her tremblingly, too angry to speak.
She was so angry that she raised her hand and was about to hit Chi Yunzhi hard in the face.
Chi Yunzhi was confident that she could block her hand, but Zhou pounced on her.
There was a loud and crisp "pop" sound. Zhou's face instantly became red and swollen. Chi Yunzhi was startled and quickly hugged Zhou's shaky body.
"Ms. Li, you've gone too far!" Chi Yunzhi was so angry that she wanted to take action.
But someone slapped Li before she could.
Li had just recovered from a serious illness and was already weak. She was beaten by the man and fell to the ground.
The old lady beside her hugged her with heartache.
"Master! Madam has just recovered from her illness! Please remember our old friendship!" The old nanny burst into tears. She felt it was not worth it for her master!
Li was stunned by the slap. Her eyes blurred and it took her a while to see who was coming.
Zhou had already been pulled into Chi Bingwen's arms, being coaxed and cared for, but she only had the old nanny who cared for her.
What evil has happened to her in this life!
This caused the estrangement between her mother and daughter, and between her husband and wife!
Li was so angry that she vomited blood.
Zhou screamed in fear. Seeing that she was scared, Chi Bingwen hugged her tighter and covered her eyes with his hands.
"You don't even choose the right time to vomit blood! Don't you see that Zhou Mei and Yun Zhi are still pregnant?" Not only did Chi Bingwen not feel sorry for his wife, he also scolded her.
Li smiled bitterly.
"You put people around Yunzhi without consulting me. Have you ever thought about Yunzhi's situation? You are not qualified to be a mistress at all!"
"I think we should let Sister Zhou take care of the household chores for now. You can just focus on recuperating!"
Chi Bingwen took away Li's power as the head of the family with just two sentences, which was no different from abolishing her position as mistress.
Li was stunned, and Zhou was also stunned.
She never thought about managing the household, she just wanted to live a good life.
When Chi Yunzhi heard this, her eyes dimmed.
Her father always puts profit first.
Seeing that Li was no longer useful and that the only legitimate daughter in the mansion had ended up becoming someone's concubine, he was probably already thinking of not letting Li continue to be the head of the Chi mansion's household.
Chi Bingwen didn't notice that Chi Yunzhi's eyes were dark and quiet. He only cared for the person he thought was right.
The farce ended with Li being able to recuperate and not interfere in the affairs of the mansion.
"Master, I am getting heavier day by day. How can I manage the huge Chi Mansion? Master, you always give me problems." Zhou couldn't explain the feeling in her mouth.
"It's okay. I think the maidservant beside you can do the job. Mrs. Li is ill and I'm afraid she won't be able to figure out these things." Chi Bingwen advised in a kind voice.
Chi Yunzhi also said a few words of comfort. What was more important was that without Li blocking the way, her mother could give birth to the baby safely.
Power is safe only when it is in your own hands.
I can't say this in front of Chi Bingwen.
