Chapter 4 Waiting to see the play
Li Man'er followed the route she remembered and returned to the Tiedanhou Mansion, entered the courtyard from the corner gate, and as soon as she entered the door, she was surrounded by two thick mothers.
"Grand girl, the old lady has something to say. Let you go to Songhetang to see her immediately after you come back."
Li Man'er sneered, and was eager to send her off while the Marquis was not at home.
"lead the way."
The two women were stunned, as if they didn't expect it to be so smooth, but they quickly reacted and led Li Man'er to Cui's yard.
As soon as he entered the yard, Yunxiu, the big girl in Cui's house, came over, "Grand girl, you are back. The old lady is waiting in the house and she is so angry."
"But I think I'm coming too slowly?"
Yun Xiu was slightly stunned on his face, but he soon returned to normal. "What did the big girl say? The sun is big outside, come into the house quickly!"
Yunxiu personally lifted the curtain for Li Man'er and took her to the side hall.
"The big girl is here."
"The big girl is back."
In the side hall, Cui was standing on the Luohan couch, and a little girl who had just left her head was standing behind her and gently fanned her.
Cui is in her early fifties this year. She has taken good care of her hair, her hair is black and dense, and her eyes are not dark. Because she is too thin, her cheekbones look a little high. In addition, her eyebrows and eyes are raised and her lips are drooping. Just from her face, this person is very mean.
Li Man'er's stepmother Guo was also there. This petite and weak woman looked so kind that she was very friendly. Unfortunately, she was full of bad water and she might have made many trips on the original owner behind her back. Li Zhaoer sat next to Guo, and her eyes looked at Li Man'er with a profound meaning.
Li Man'er glanced at Madam Xu who was standing beside her and then greeted Cui.
Cui said two words gently, "Kneel down!"
Li Man'er's first reaction was to fuck her. No one dared to say such things to her for many years. This old dirty woman is so good that she will kneel down when she comes up!
Although this is ancient, Cui is not an emperor, why should she kneel? Even the elders don’t have the saying that the younger generation will kneel down at any time, right?
Just as Li Man'er was hesitating, Guo pretended to speak, "Grand girl, don't make the old lady angry. It's absolutely impossible to disobey the elders."
Li Man'er raised her eyebrows and turned her head to show a strange smile at Guo, "My mother said it so easily, and she casually put the hat of disobedience on my head. How could I disobey my grandmother if I respect the country and govern the country with filial piety?" After that, she knelt in front of Cui, looking rude and without any arrogance.
Guo was choked by her and couldn't help but look at her daughter next to her. It seemed that Zhao'er was right, but Li Man'er was indeed a little different. In the past, Li Man'er would only yell, only say that they all bully her and would not speak so well.
Cui stared at Li Man'er, as if there were flowers blooming on her face, but Li Man'er lowered her eyelids and hid all the sharpness in her eyes.
As soon as she came through time, she had to face a lot of messes left by the original owner. If possible, it would be best to keep the plate firmly and then move on to the next step. But she had a premonition that even if she didn't make any trouble, the trouble would come to her and she couldn't stop.
"Li Man'er, are you brains?" Sure enough, Cui opened his mouth with a strong disgust, and there was an unconcealed disgust in his tone.
Cui did not like the identity of Ning's businesswoman and thought that Li Shu married her was a joke. Even though Ning had long become a dead bone, Cui's dislike was still undiminished, and it was transferred to Li Man'er.
"The granddaughter is stupid, please let my grandmother tell you clearly."
"What good things did you do in the Princess's Mansion? Do you still use me to remind you?" Cui slapped the table in anger, and the jade Buddhist beads in his hand were placed on the table.
I guess I'm afraid I'll break it.
Li Man'er only said: "Grandmother, granddaughter did nothing wrong."
When Cui saw her, she was so angry that her eyebrows were about to explode. "You are still stubborn. The eldest princess has a heart attack and the young master even slashed his sword. Is this a trivial matter?"
Guo and Li Zhaoer were both secretly happy. Sure enough, Li Man'er's change was only a moment, and most of the time she was pretty and stupid.
"Report to grandmother, they bullied their granddaughters first. The granddaughter didn't want to lose the reputation of the Iron Guard Mansion, and did not want the reputation of the Concubine Shu to be damaged. He was scolded by the emperor, so that he would contradict the eldest princess and make a big fuss in the princess's mansion."
"Hmph, it's really nonsense." Li Zhaoer couldn't help but feel angry.
No one in the mansion knew that the old lady loved the most was not the eldest son, Tiedan Marquis Li Shu, or the youngest son, Li En, but Li Qingshu, who entered the palace at the age of fifteen. She was the only girl among the four children of Cui. She was beautiful since childhood, and she was very beautiful in poetry and calligraphy. She was raised by Cui in her palm. When the old Marquis was alive, she also hurt her daughter so much that she looked like her eyes.
Li Qingshu entered the palace at the age of fifteen and is now a concubine. She is the flesh of Cui's heart. Li Man'er deliberately mentioned her, which indeed successfully attracted Cui's attention.
"What does this matter have to do with the Empress?" Cui was indeed nervous and his attitude changed.
Li Man'er deliberately glanced at Guo and Li Zhaoer, and then said, "Grandmother, it's important to let irrelevant people leave." She was not afraid that Li Zhaoer would not be fooled.
"Grandmother, the eldest sister is afraid that she has caused trouble and is afraid that you will punish her, so she pulled out the Empress." Li Zhaoer's eyes were like a knife, and she wished she could stab Li Man'er several times with her eyes.
But Guo knew that things were not that simple. The Empress was the old lady's heart. Even the matters related to her were small, it was a big deal.
"Zhao'er, don't talk nonsense. It's wronged your elder sister and ruined the relationship between sisters."
This is a clever statement. If it were Li Man'er in the past, he might not be able to hear the maneuver in it.
"Don't worry, Mother, I will definitely not talk nonsense, nor will it ruin the brotherhood between the Empress and her father!" Li Man'er smiled slightly, "I originally thought that the matter was important, so it would be better to tell my grandmother secretly about this matter. Since my mother and sister think I am a pretentious person, it's better to just explain it clearly at once."
After hearing this, Guo had no reason not to be afraid. She had never seen Li Man'er speak so calmly and clearly.
"Say, I think you are just making things out of nothing. I want my grandmother to spare you this time." Li Zhaoer's words made it difficult for Guo to say anything. It would be better to stay and hear what Li Man'er could say.
In Guo'er's eyes, Li Man'er is a bed bug that can be pinched to death at any time. She obviously didn't have a smart head, but she insisted on playing tricks. What's wrong with seeking death?
In this way, she was waiting to watch the show.
