Chapter 4 Waiting to see the play

Li Man'er walked back to Tiedanhou Mansion according to the route in his memory, and entered the courtyard through the corner gate. As soon as he entered, he was surrounded by two stout women.

"Miss, the old lady has something to say, and she wants you to go to Songhe Hall to see her immediately after you come back."

Li Man'er sneered, taking advantage of the fact that Mr. Hou was not at home and couldn't wait to punish her.

"lead the way."

The two women were startled, as if they didn't expect it to go so smoothly, but they quickly reacted and led Li Man'er to Cui's yard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Yun Xiu, the eldest girl in Cui's house, came over and said, "Miss, you are finally back. The old lady is waiting in the house and she lost her temper."

"But you think I came too late?"

Yun Xiu's face was slightly startled, but she soon returned to normal, "What are you talking about, young lady? The sun is shining brightly outside, come in quickly!"

Yun Xiu personally lifted the curtain for Li Man'er and took her into the side hall.

"The big girl is here."

"The big girl is back."

In the side hall, Ms. Cui was sitting on the Luohan couch, and a little girl who had just grown her hair was standing behind her, fanning her gently.

Ms. Cui is in her early fifties this year. She is well-maintained. Her hair is dark and dense, and the lines at the corners of her eyes are not deep. Because she is too thin, her cheekbones appear a bit high. In addition, her eyebrows are raised, and the corners of her lips are drooped.

Judging from his appearance, this person is very mean.

Li Man'er's stepmother, Mrs. Guo, was also there. This petite and frail-looking woman had a friendly face, but unfortunately she was full of bad intentions and might have caused many stumbling blocks for the original owner behind her back. Li Zhaoer sat next to Mrs. Guo and looked at Li Man'er.

Man'er's gaze was quite meaningful.

Li Man'er glanced at Aunt Xu who was standing beside her, and then paid her respects to Mrs. Cui.

Ms. Cui softly uttered two words, "Kneel down!"

Li Man'er's first reaction was to fuck her. No one has dared to say such a thing to her for many years. It would be better for this old cunning woman to make her kneel down!

Although this is ancient times, Cui is not an emperor, so why should she be asked to kneel? Even if she is an elder, there is no such thing as asking a junior to kneel down, right?

At the moment when Li Man'er hesitated, Mrs. Guo pretended to speak, "Girl, please don't make the old lady angry. You must never disobey your elders."

Li Man'er raised her eyebrows and turned to Mrs. Guo with a weird smile, "Mother said it so easily and casually put the label of disobedience on my head. Respect the country and govern it with filial piety.

How could I disobey my grandmother?" After saying that, she knelt down in front of Mr. Cui, appearing well-behaved and not at all arrogant.

Mrs. Guo was choked by her and couldn't help but look at her daughter next to her. It seemed that Zhao'er was right. Li Man'er was indeed a little different. In the past, Li Man'er would only yell.

She would only say that they all bullied her, but would not speak so rationally.

Mrs. Cui stared at Li Man'er as if her face was blooming with flowers, but Li Man'er lowered her eyelids and hid all the sharpness in her eyes.

She had just traveled through time and had to face a lot of messes left by the original owner. If possible, it was best to secure the plate before proceeding to the next step. But she had a hunch that even if she didn't look for trouble, trouble would come for her.

, can’t stop.

"Li Man'er, do you have any brains?" As expected, Mrs. Cui opened her mouth with a strong sense of disgust, and there was undisguised disgust in her tone.

Cui didn't like Ning's identity as a businesswoman, and thought it was a joke that Li Shu married her. Even though Ning had long since become a withered skeleton, Cui's displeasure remained unabated, and it was also transferred to Li Man'er.

On the body.

"My granddaughter is stupid, please ask my grandmother to speak clearly."

"What good things did you do in the eldest princess's mansion? Do you still need me to remind you?" Ms. Cui was so angry that she slammed the table and put all the jade beads in her hand on the table.

Probably because they were afraid of being smashed.

Li Man'er only said: "Grandma, my granddaughter did nothing wrong."

When Cui saw her attitude, she was so angry that her eyebrows almost exploded, "You are so stubborn. The eldest princess had a heart attack because of you, and the young master even used his sword. Is this a small matter?"

Both Guo and Li Zhaoer were secretly happy. As expected, Li Maner's change only lasted a moment. Most of the time, she was pretty and stupid.

"Grandma, they bullied my granddaughter first. My granddaughter didn't want to lose the reputation of Iron Dan Mansion, and she didn't want Concubine Shu's reputation to be damaged and reprimanded by the Holy One, so she contradicted the eldest princess and caused a scene in the princess mansion."

"Huh, that's all nonsense." Li Zhaoer couldn't hold back his anger.

Who in the house doesn't know that the person the old lady loves most is not the eldest son Tietanhou Li Shu, nor the youngest son Li En, but Li Qingshu who entered the palace at the age of fifteen. She is the only girl among Cui's four children.

She had an exquisite beauty and excellent poetry and calligraphy. She was raised and pampered by Mrs. Cui. When the old Marquis was still alive, he loved this daughter as much as his eyes.

Li Qingshu entered the palace at the age of fifteen and is now a concubine. She is Cui's favorite, and Li Man'er deliberately mentioned her, and she succeeded in attracting Cui's attention.

"What does this matter have to do with your empress?" Cui was really nervous and her attitude changed.

Li Maner deliberately glanced at Guo and Li Zhaoer before saying, "Grandma, it's a serious matter, so it's better to let irrelevant people leave." She wasn't afraid that Li Zhaoer wouldn't be fooled.

"Grandma, the eldest sister was afraid that she would know that she had gotten into trouble and was afraid that you would punish her, so she took out the mother-in-law." Li Zhaoer's eyes were like knives, and he wished he could stab Li Maner with his eyes directly.

However, Mrs. Guo knew that things were not that simple. The empress was the old lady's favorite, and anything related to her, no matter how small, was still a big deal.

"Zhao'er, don't talk nonsense, wrongly accuse your eldest sister, and ruin the friendship between sisters."

This was said cleverly. If it had been Li Maner before, he might not have been able to hear the cleverness in it.

"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely not talk nonsense, let alone ruin the brotherhood between my mother and my father!" Li Man'er smiled slightly, "I originally thought it was a serious matter, so it would be better to quietly inform my grandmother about it.

Since my mother and sister think I'm being mysterious, it's better to make it clear once and for all."

After hearing this, Mrs. Guo had no reason not to be afraid. She had never seen Li Maner speak so calmly and clearly.

"Tell me, I think you just made something out of nothing, and I hope grandma will spare you this time." Li Zhaoer's words made it hard for Guo to say anything else. She might as well stay and listen to what Li Maner could say.

In Guo's eyes, Li Man'er is just a bug that can be crushed to death at any time. He obviously doesn't have a smart head, but he still wants to play tricks. Isn't this looking for death?

In this way, she was waiting to watch the show.
