Thinking of her letter of divorce, Liu Shangwei's farewell, Granny Yu's three kowtows, and the desolation of the Duke's mansion...
This is all because of Jiaojiao...
No, she wasn't saying it was Jiao Jiao's fault, but rather...
Anyway, Li Jiaojiao can't be treated like this!
The Duchess of Pingguo was agitated: "What do you mean you don't want to see me? I'm her mother! Get out of my way—"
"Hey, hey, hey—you can't just wander in like that—"
But the Duchess of Pingguo had already pushed her aside and rushed towards Li Jiaojiao's courtyard.
The wife of the Duke of Pingguo knew the layout of the Marquis of Ningguo's residence.
I used to attend banquets here quite often. Now, Li Jiaojiao lives in the three westernmost courtyards.
Li Jiaojiao was feeling suffocated in her room when a commotion arose outside: "Madam Wan, you can't go in."

Li Jiaojiao forced a smile: "Why did Mother come in...? I... I was busy..."
The Duchess of Pingguo found her smile irritating: "What are you busy with?"
Li Jiaojiao clenched her fists: "Oh... Mother knows I'm new here... There's a ton of stuff going on at home. Half the family fortune belongs to Gu Han, right? I've just taken over, so I need to check the accounts..."
Lady Pingguo's eyes widened, and tears streamed down her face.
"Look at the ledger? Hahaha, look at the ledger? Is this some kind of major event like a dead body or a collapsed house? Do you really need to look at this ledger? Will it disappear if you don't look at it for even one day?"
