Li Man'er's words "She deserves it" completely ignited Li Zhaoer's anger.
Li Zhaoer originally had a fiery temper and was intolerant of others. Now that Guo was lying there not knowing whether she was alive or dead, Li Man'er was fanning the flames and saying that she deserved it. This was definitely something Li Zhaoer could not tolerate.
"I'll tear your mouth off." Li Zhao'er didn't care about any image issues and rushed towards Li Man'er with bared teeth and claws.
"You bastard, stop it." Mrs. Cui quickly asked someone to pull her away, but before the servant could even get close to the two sisters, she heard a crisp slap.
Everyone was stunned. When they looked again, Li Zhaoer covered her face, with tears in her eyes, and her eyes were full of anger, "Li Maner, you dare to hit me."
"You were the one who was beaten. After all, I still ask, are you stupid?"
The grievance deep in Li Zhaoer's heart suddenly emerged, "I will fight with you." She wanted to hit Li Maner, but unfortunately she failed, and her arm was suddenly grabbed by someone, still very hard.
.
"That's enough." Li Shu said angrily with a dark face: "Look at what you look like now? Where is the demeanor of the daughter of a prince? Doctor Duan said that your mother is sick, not poisoned. You are angry with the eldest sister.
Confusing right and wrong, I simply don’t know what it means.”
Growing up, Li Zhaoer had never heard such harsh words. Seeing that both Li Shu and Cui were leaning towards Li Maner, she was even more despairing.
"Father, you have changed. You were not like this before! You used to love me very much. Why are you like this now? Is it because Li Man'er saved you?"
"Nonsense! I just love you too much and indulge you too much, so I pamper you to the point of being lawless."
Li Zhaoer glared at Li Maner fiercely, "She can poison my mother, so she can also poison you. Maybe it was her handiwork that last time my father was poisoned, and she pretended to be a good person to help you detoxify. It's basically
No ulterior motives."
Li Shu was furious and slapped Li Zhaoer down, shocking everyone.
Li Zhaoer fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time. His slap was so hard that Li Zhaoer's face swelled immediately. Comparing the before and after, Li Man'er was actually much gentler.
"Father..." Li Zhaoer said just two words, and tears fell down, which was quite heart-wrenching to watch.
Li Shu didn't even look at her, "Take the second lady down. She won't be allowed to step out of the room without my order."
How dare the servants not obey? They helped Li Zhaoer up and dragged her out.
Li Zhaoer didn't know whether she was frightened or knew that arguing was useless, so she let others take her down.
After the farce subsided, Li Shu did not stay any longer and left Chaohuiyuan with a dark face.
Cui frowned and expressed her dissatisfaction with her son's attitude, but she tried her best to defend him in front of Li Man'er, "Your father has a heavy burden, and the emperor has assigned him a new job. If the family cannot be stable, he will command thousands of people outside."
How can you feel at ease when you have thousands of troops?"
Li Man'er only said: "Grandma, I understand everything, but the second sister is really shameless. Whether she scolds me or makes a move, it is actually a trivial matter."
"Little things?"
"Although I hold grudges, for the sake of family ties, I will never care about it. But what did the second sister say about me? She said that I poisoned my father, and then said that I poisoned my mother. This is patricide.
My mother's crime is not just as simple as being unpleasant to hear."
Mrs. Cui nodded, "You are speaking out without restraint, so you should definitely be beaten."
"That's not the most important thing."
Ms. Cui was even more confused.
"Grandma, if something happened to my father last time, how would the Xiao family deal with it?"
Before Mrs. Cui could react, Li Man'er felt blessed slightly and said, "Granddaughter, please leave."
Li Man'er left Chaohui Courtyard, and Cui asked Grandma Wang to leave the house. As for what she was doing, no one else knew.
"The girl is feeling proud now. In the past ten years, Mr. Marquis has never protected the girl like he is today." Lu Yi thought more simply. Seeing Li Zhaoer being beaten, she felt relieved.
Zi Yan felt that it was not that simple. If the Marquis really loved the girl, why did he leave without saying a word after beating the second girl? She looked as if he was escaping from something.
Li Man'er only said: "It's not as simple as you think."
The master and servant returned to Qingpingxuan, changed their clothes, and took off their hair. Only then did Li Maner answer their questions.
"Do you really think that my father beat Li Zhaoer to protect me?"
"Isn't it?" Lu Yi put the mung bean soup on the table, "Miss, please tell the slaves."
Mu Yun and Yin Zhu were also waiting on the side, wanting to hear what Li Man'er had to say.
"My father has loved Li Zhaoer for more than ten years. How could he not know her temperament? Isn't Li Zhaoer's arrogance the result of his laissez-faire? He beat Li Zhaoer in public, just to show me."
"Girl, where do you start talking about this?"
"My wife is sick, who will support Li Zhaoer?" Mrs. Cui doesn't know how. Could it be that the aunts of the second and third bedrooms will come to support Li Zhaoer? The prince is still young! He wants to support Li Zhaoer, but it will take a few years.
Lu Yi was confused when he heard it, but Zi Yan understood a little bit.
"You mean that the Marquis is protecting the second girl."
Li Man'er took a sip of mung bean soup, nodded and said: "It's almost the same. After the second girl is banned, she will be safe."
Luyi said gloomily: "So the Marquis is guarding against you? I thought the Marquis had changed his gender."
Zi Yan glared at her, "Don't talk nonsense. The same goes for you two. Don't forget that he is the Marquis. No matter what, he is the master of this family. If you criticize the master, will you not want your life?"
"Good sister, don't be angry, there are no outsiders here."
"Sister Ziyan, we don't dare to talk nonsense."
Zi Yan had no choice but to take the green clothes, so she still told her, "You must know that walls have ears, so be careful in everything."
The three girls nodded in succession.
"Girl, if you are tired, please take a nap! Your servant will call you when it's time to eat."
"Yeah." Li Man'er leaned on the small table and took a nap for half an hour.
At noon, the kitchen sent out steamed mandarin fish, stir-fried pork, steamed eggs with minced meat, glutinous rice and lotus root, cold bean sprouts and honey-glazed pear balls.
Li Man'er asked Grandma Wu, "Why did you send six dishes here properly? Is it beyond the limit?"
"Those people in the big kitchen are all people who follow the influence of others. They probably heard that the Marquis beat the second girl..."
When she said this, Li Maner understood.
"Okay, let's eat first."
Li Maner wiped his hands and put all the unpleasant things behind him. Nothing was as important as eating.
When Li Man'er was eating, Lu Yi was peeking outside the door. After she finally finished her meal, Lu Yi entered the house as soon as the table was moved away.
"Girl, someone sent you a letter." After saying that, he took out an envelope.
Delivering a letter?
Li Man'er took it and took a look. The only words written on the letter were Miss Li's personal signature, and it was sealed with a seal.
