After all, she and Qinghua were not ordinary maids; they were both of official rank.
Compared to Cao Yunpeng, the two of them were of the fourth rank.
Qin frowned, wanting to advise Tang, but didn't know how to speak.
“Madam Cao, I advise you and your husband to give up on this idea. I, Li Zhiwei, would rather marry a cat or a dog than become a concubine to Magistrate Cao! As for my servants, Madam Cao, you need not worry about them,” Li Zhiwei said firmly, looking at the arrogant Madam Tang.
"Li Zhiwei, don't be so stubborn, you'll regret it!" Madam Tang never expected Li Zhiwei to be so bold as to embarrass her in front of so many people.
"Is that so? I'd like to know, does the Cao family dare to make me drink this penalty cup?" Li Zhiwei asked, looking at Madam Cao with sarcasm.
"Sister, don't be impulsive." Just as Madam Tang was about to say something more, Madam Qin stopped her.
"What, are you afraid of her?" Madam Tang didn't expect Madam Qin to stop her.
She's my own sister-in-law. Shouldn't she stand on my side if something happens?
"Sister, those two maids beside her seem rather unusual," Qin Shi said, frowning.
Qin thought to herself, "That maid looks extraordinary, but such a person would never be a slave to the daughter of a third-rank official."
Unless, Li Zhiwei has another identity.
"Who knows if she hired her from somewhere?" Madam Cao didn't take it to heart, thinking that Li Zhiwei had just hired her from somewhere, after all, the Li family still had some money.
Madam Qin shook her head, just about to tell Madam Tang that those two maids weren't something that could be hired simply because you had money.
Qingyue had already kicked Tang's old woman away.
"You little slut, you've gone too far! How dare you cause trouble on my turf?" Madam Tang stood up abruptly, pointing her finger at Qingyue's nose and cursing.
“Madam Cao, I advise you to think carefully. Am I someone you can scold?” Qingyue said coldly to Madam Tang.
"Madam Cao has probably been in Li'an County for too long and doesn't know the outside world anymore, has she? My maid is no ordinary maid; she comes from the palace and has a rank." Li Zhiwei looked at Madam Cao and said with a mocking expression.
"Don't try to fool me. What right do you, a lowly merchant's daughter, have to be served by maids from the palace?" Madam Cao blurted out her true thoughts without a second thought.
"Then go and ask Lord Cao who the people around me are," Li Zhiwei stood up, said, and was about to leave.
If she had known it would be such a smoky and chaotic banquet, she definitely wouldn't have come.
"You can't leave!" Aunt Liu, who had been hiding in the back, quickly stepped forward and blocked Li Zhiwei's path.
"It's you! What, you really want me to stay and become your master's concubine?" Li Zhiwei was not surprised to see Aunt Liu.
"You vile woman, you killed my brother, and now you dare to look down on my master! You just wait, he will never let you get away with this!" Aunt Liu had actually been in the banquet hall the whole time. She had seen Li Zhiwei's arrogant demeanor and knew it then and there.
The more Li Zhiwei looked down on the master, the more she was able to avenge her brother's great grudge.
"Guards, keep Miss Li here!" Madam Cao ordered her men to block Li Zhiwei's path. She had originally wanted to give her face and make her a concubine.
In retrospect, it was completely unnecessary.
As long as the person stays, the die is cast, and the Li family will have no choice but to accept it, whether they want to or not.
"Madam Cao, are you planning to use force?" Li Zhiwei was almost driven to tears by this person's stupidity.
Is this even possible?
She didn't want to become Magistrate Cao's concubine, so she resorted to force?
Qinghua and Qingyue quickly stood beside Li Zhiwei to protect her from those people.
