Li Man'er glanced at the old lady and recognized her immediately. The last time she came back from the eldest princess's mansion, it was this old lady named Jia who was on duty. It was this old lady who said that the old lady wanted to see her.
"But grandma wants to see me?"
Mrs. Jia was stunned for a moment, and her face immediately turned strange.
"Miss, it's not the old lady who wants to see you, but the wife who wants to see you." Mrs. Jia smiled coquettishly, "My wife said that when you come back, go to Chaohui Courtyard immediately. She has something to say."
Li Man'er nodded, "I understand." She turned around and said to Aunt Du: "It's been a hard day, Auntie, you go back first, grandma is still waiting for you to serve her."
Aunt Du felt slightly blessed and said, "Old slave, please retire."
Li Man'er asked Mu Yun to return to Qingpingxuan with the objects given by the princess, and he took Zi Yan to Chaohui Courtyard.
The courtyard was very quiet, and the servants did not dare to take a breath, for fear that the mistress would be unhappy.
Li Maner asked Zi Yan to wait outside, "I can just go in by myself."
Zi Yan understood the idea and immediately said: "Yes."
The little girl picked up the curtain for Li Man'er and let the people into the flower hall. Guo was not there, so Granny Yu smiled and said to Li Man'er: "My dear, please wait for a while, I will go and fetch my wife immediately."
"Thank you." Li Man'er just picked a chair and sat down.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Mrs. Guo hadn't come yet. There was no one in the flower hall, not even a cup of tea.
Li Man'er seemed to have expected all this and was not in a hurry. Instead, she leaned on the chair and took a nap.
Mrs. Guo really hasn't made any progress at all. After so many years, she still doesn't feel tired of using this little trick over and over again.
In fact, as soon as Li Man'er returned to the house, Mrs. Guo received the news immediately. She left Li Man'er hanging in the flower hall just to suppress Li Man'er's arrogance.
Naturally, Li Zhaoer did not handle matters in Princess Wuyou's Mansion in an honest manner, but who allowed the child to be protected by his own mother!
Li Man'er waited for half an hour, lights were hung up in the yard, and Mrs. Guo arrived late.
"Miss, you've been waiting for a long time." Mrs. Guo sneered again and again, "I really couldn't get away from family matters, so I'm late. Miss, won't you be angry?"
Listen, what are these words! The first wife of ancient people, even the second wife, should not say such words.
"Mom, what's wrong? It's weird. You drank wine at night, are you drunk?" Li Man'er knew that Guo wanted to embarrass herself. Anyway, the courtyard was full of her people, and her words could not be spread outside.
go.
"I would like to say something drunk, but I'm afraid the older girl doesn't want to hear it."
Li Man'er only said: "Mother talks as she pleases, and there are no outsiders here. It just so happens that I haven't heard mother's teachings for a while."
"Today at the princess's mansion, I am fully aware of the discord between you two sisters. Although Zhao'er said something inappropriate, as her eldest sister, you should also be tolerant and considerate of her. How could you do it in front of so many people?
Zhao'er can't get off the stage in front of you! You can't write two characters '李' in one stroke. You are biological sisters. If you make such a fuss, wouldn't it be a joke to outsiders?"
Li Maner said nothing. You say what you say, and I will listen to mine.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Mrs. Guo couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, "Li Man'er, I'm talking to you!"
"I'm listening!" Li Man'er blinked, "My mother is so angry. Could it be caused by liver stasis and qi blockage?"
"You cursed me?"
"Man'er doesn't dare!" Li Man'er said calmly: "Since mother is not sick, how can she say such nonsense?"
Mrs. Guo was so angry that her heart suddenly twitched, and her face changed in pain.
"you……"
"Mother doesn't even want to think about where Princess Wuyou's mansion is. Although Princess Wuyou is the adopted daughter of the Queen Mother, she is a person with good fortune and noble character as Master Du'e said. Your daughter, my sister, is as good as her.
Can’t you tell Princess Wuyou’s eyesight?”
"you……"
"Mom, I know I'm not your biological child. It's normal for you and me to be separated by a layer. But at such a young age, Zhao'er actually did such a thing to harm the eldest sister. How will it be okay when she grows up? Are you like those girls outside?
Are all the ladies and madams brainless?" Li Man'er chuckled, "Her methods are really low-level. Who can't see it? You are the only one who protects her in everything, even deceiving her father and grandmother.
Sooner or later something will happen."
Mrs. Guo fell into her chair and pointed at Li Man'er, speechless.
But at this moment, the curtain was raised, and it was Li Shu who came in.
Mrs. Guo was shocked, and she didn't know how much Li Shu had listened to the conversation between the two. She immediately changed her face, picked up the handkerchief and rubbed her eyes hard twice, "Master Hou, you are back!"
"What's going on?" In fact, Li Shu had been standing outside the door for a while, and he heard most of the conversation between the two.
Li Man'er is a martial arts practitioner, so naturally he has heard the movement outside the door. Li Shu's steps are a little heavier and his landing is strong, which is different from ordinary women. There will be no other men in the back house.
So Li Man'er was sure that Li Shu was back, so he said those few words on purpose.
"Ah, it's nothing. I just came back from Princess Wuyou's place and I was talking to Man'er."
Li Shu obviously didn't believe her. He turned to look at Li Man'er and said, "Say."
"Father, since mother doesn't want to talk, why do you have to embarrass your daughter? Once you leave, I'm afraid mother will blame her."
This is giving Guo eye drops in front of Li Shu.
"Master Hou, you must be tired. Why don't you go take a shower first? I'll order someone to prepare a table of food and wine for Master Hou, so that you can eat and rest."
Li Shu sat down on the chair boldly and said: "Is there anything I can't listen to? Besides, I've been outside the door for a long time, and I've heard almost everything I need to hear. What happened at Princess Wuyou's place today
What's the matter, Man'er? Please tell me in detail and don't allow any omissions."
"Yes, father." Li Man'er recounted what happened at the princess's mansion in the afternoon from beginning to end, which made Li Shu think deeply.
The person in front of me is really his daughter? When did she become so...
How to describe it!
Li Shu has always ignored Li Man'er. He is a grown man who cannot raise children, especially daughters. Of course, Guo also played a huge role in it. Without her, Li Shu would not be able to do it.
I'm tired of Li Man'er. In Li Shu's memory, this daughter can do almost nothing but lose her temper and cry.
He always felt that Li Maner was spoiled by pride and became a useless person.
But he never thought that one day his daughter would save him, and after listening to her conversation with Guo, Li Shu also realized something.
Perhaps the problem does not arise with Man'er, but with those who have been misled, including him.
