"Sit down and eat properly! We can talk about everything after we finish eating."
Once everyone was given permission, they took their seats. Xiao Sheng was preoccupied and even forgot to pick up his food.
Xu Ningyou was furious when she saw the little child about to be so cruelly harmed by that vicious woman.
Leng Feng has returned to the capital and is investigating all matters, big and small, concerning Zhao Yunwan.
I believe news will be available soon.
The outcome depends on each person's abilities.
With Ruan Ruan's foresight, this time, the Li family will surely be able to defy fate and live in peace.
Xiao Sheng doesn't seem stupid. Zhao Yunwan probably has someone to rely on, which is why she's so reckless!
Following her memory, Xu Ningyou served Xiao Sheng many of Zhao Yunshu's favorite dishes, thinking that since mother and son are connected, their tastes shouldn't be too different.
"Sheng'er, don't think too much. Grow up happily. Your tutor and aunt will take care of everything! Just focus on your studies, but remember to protect yourself and cherish yourself. Do you understand?" Xu Ningyou's soft voice was like the song of a nightingale, soothing Xiao Sheng's worries.
The Empress will arrive at the Li family residence in a quarter of an hour. Her purpose in coming is ostensibly to find the Crown Prince, but in reality, she wants me to become her study companion in the palace.
Li Xingran muttered to herself.
Fortunately, Li Ting's hand was steady, otherwise the bowl would have almost fallen to the ground.
Li Xingran's five older brothers were not so composed, especially the second and third brothers, who were naturally impulsive and smashed the bowl.
After the fall, Li Ting and Xu Ningyou exchanged a glance.
So it turns out the sons can hear Ruan Ruan's inner thoughts!
Does that mean they already know their fate?
It seems that the Li family needs to sit down and discuss the matter of their impending extermination.
However, Li Ting and Xu Ningyou remained calm and showed no signs of distress.
Xiao Sheng was still immersed in grief and did not notice the changes in the emotions of the Li family members.
Zhao Yunwan hated it most when others were prettier than her. My goodness, isn't my mother a stunning beauty right now? Oh no, how can I make her less attractive?
Xiao Sheng was startled by Li Xingran's words and looked up at Xu Ningyou. Perhaps because of their close relationship, Xu Ningyou was indeed much younger and prettier than Zhao Yunwan.
Zhao Yunwan usually acts aloof and superior, but there are indeed not many beautiful palace maids in her palace.
While listening to Xiao Ding's boasting, I learned that although there were no beauties in the Empress's palace, she kept many stunning beauties outside the palace.
Is she such a jealous person?
[Ahhh, right, me too! Daddy, Mommy! In the book, Xiao Yuyan wanted me to be her reading companion because she said I was cute, fair-skinned, and pretty.]
[I'm on the verge of tears! Can someone do my makeup? Something ugly! Oh, wait, can someone do my disguise? Make me look neither cute nor pretty, neither adorable nor pretty. I don't want to be so beautiful that some scoundrel will take a liking to me!]
"Ding! The pouch is unlocked. One Disguise Pill, valid for two hours. Please open your mouth, Teacher Li!"
Just when Li Xingran was crying out to heaven and earth in vain, the magic bag was upgraded.
It even automatically fed her a disguise pill.
[Haha, at least you, you damned Yama, have some conscience. You gave me a disguise pill at the crucial moment, helping me get through this difficult time.]
Li Ting picked up Li Xingran, and the eight of them stared at each other, looking at Li Xingran's sallow skin, small eyes, sparse hair, and a large dark spot on her face.
"Disguise pill? Does such a thing really exist in this world?" At this moment, the inner monologues of the eight people in the room were all in unison.
But the change in Li Xingran's appearance told them that there really was a disguise pill.
[Hehe, my pink, cute, and pretty look is solved, but what about Mommy? What should I do about Mommy?] Li Xingran was worried again.
Xu Ningyou wiped her mouth, got up, picked up Li Xingran, and said to Li Ting, "Husband, I'll take Ruan Ruan to rest first. You take good care of the Crown Prince. Later, take him to the palace gate, and then go to Jufulou to buy me some fruit. I want to eat Jufulou's tea fruit."
"Madam, you are not fully recovered yet, please go back to your room and rest in bed!"
Li Xingran watched the actions of the Li family members.
[Huh? What's going on? Father and Mother seem to be able to hear me. Why aren't they curious about what happened to me? Shouldn't the normal procedure be to see a doctor first? Even if the Empress came, she'd have to take care of my condition first, wouldn't she?]
Li Ting's inner thoughts: Daughter, your words have scared your old man so much that he can't even think straight.
Xu Ningyou: Ruan Ruan is so smart, she really is my daughter.
Five older brothers: My sister handles things so perfectly!
Xiao Sheng: We should learn from Li Xingran. Look how capable she is; she remains calm and composed in the face of adversity.
After finishing his sentence, Li Ting instructed his sons to clear the table, and then asked Liu Fu to invite Doctor Ouyang from Jishantang to examine Li Xingran.
[Wait, my brothers can't be here either. One of Xiao Yuyan's biggest hobbies is keeping male concubines. My brothers are all handsome and dashing; she'll definitely have her eye on them.]
[My fourth and fifth brothers were provoked by Xiao Yuyan because they resisted her, which led them to write that scathing critique. It's a pity my small body can't do anything; otherwise, I would have painted their faces with graffiti.]
Xu Ningyou and Li Ting exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's thoughts.
"Zhang'er, take your younger brothers to my study and wait."
As Li Ting spoke, he quickly gestured towards the window.
As the five brothers, Li Ruizhang and Li Ting, entered Li Ting's study, they saw cold rain falling from the sky.
