“Li Zhiwei, only Ah Zhong from the stable is worthy of a person as lowly as you.”
Zhou Yutang's words broke Li Zhiwei's last straw.
Ah Zhong, the stableman, was an old and ugly bachelor. She couldn't accept being humiliated like this by them and stared at the scissors not far away.
Li Zhiwei angrily rushed towards Zhou Yutang.
She wanted to kill Zhou Yutang, but unfortunately, she was too weak from being hungry for so long. Zhou Yutang was stunned at first, but soon the old woman beside her protected her.
She failed to hurt her, but the old woman pushed her against the wall. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself sitting in the bridal sedan chair.
Li Zhiwei carefully considered what to do next.
In this life, she will never again be that merchant's daughter who is at the mercy of others.
The Marquis of Ru'an's mansion wants to use the Li family's wealth to pave the way for them, so let's see if they have the life to spend it.
In my previous life, I was too foolish, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage of me.
In the western suburbs, today is a day off for students. At this time, many children have gathered in the suburbs and are flying kites.
Wei Herui, the grandson of Grand Tutor Wei, proudly showed off to everyone the new toy his mother had found for him: the Nine Linked Rings.
"My mother gave this to me," Wei Herui said proudly.
"What's so great about it?" Xu Qingshi looked at the nine-linked rings with dissatisfaction. Although he also wanted it very much, he would never admit it at this moment.
"Hey, Xu Qingshi, do you want to play? I'll be generous and let you take a look," Wei Herui said smugly.
“This was personally found for me by my mother; it’s the only one of its kind in the entire capital,” Wei Herui added proudly.
Xu Qingshi's face could no longer be described as simply black.
Could that damn Wei Herui be bragging to me that he has a mother while I don't?
Thinking of this, Xu Qingshi turned and left in dissatisfaction.
"Your Highness, wait for me." Xie Yanzhi, who was following behind Xu Qingshi, did not know why he was angry again, but he followed without thinking.
Wei Herui, standing to the side, saw that Xu Qingshi was angry, but he wasn't worried. On the contrary, he was quite pleased with himself. Xu Qingshi must be jealous that he had the Nine Linked Rings, while he didn't.
"Miss, the gates of the Marquis of Ru'an's residence are not open today," said Cuiguo, Li Zhiwei's personal maid, standing outside the sedan chair with a worried expression.
"Hmm!" Li Zhiwei didn't say anything, just responded softly. She knew that the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion was trying to intimidate her.
Fortunately, he has no intention of entering the gates of the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion now.
"Cuiguo, you only need to knock on the door after half a cup of tea's time," Li Zhiwei said.
In my previous life, the gates of the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion didn't open until late afternoon; now, it's only early morning.
The reason she didn't leave immediately was that she was thinking about what she should do next.
"Tell me, did that damned Wei Herui mock me for not having a mother?" Xu Qingshi asked Xie Yanzhi angrily upon returning home.
Xie Yanzhi was taken aback at first, then looked at Xu Qingshi with some sympathy. Princess An died in childbirth when she gave birth to Xu Qingshi, and Prince An has not remarried since.
"How about you ask your father to find you a stepmother?" Xie Yanzhi suggested cautiously.
