Tang Qiu reacted quickly and avoided Li Lainan's slap with a slight tilt of his head.
"Snapped!"
Li Lainan never slapped Tang Qiu in the face and slapped her neck.
"Fourth girl, what are you doing?" Mrs. Li frowned slightly, looking unhappy.
She is already here, and if anything happens, she will naturally make the decision.
After all, the fourth granddaughter's rules are very different, and her temper is hard to change.
"Panpan." Mrs. Lin also frowned and said gently: "My daughter's hands are not used to hit people."
Since she is a lady, she naturally has the rules of a lady.
The hands of the daughter's family are used to order tea, burn incense, and draw illustrations. They teach the servants by themselves, which is not what ordinary ladies do.
"Grandma, eldest aunt!" Li Lainan saw that the two of them were talking about her indiscriminately and said something bad about her. He couldn't help but become furious: "It was this bitch who caught me first!"
"Girl, are you the one who deserves to be scolded like this?" Madam Li raised her voice, pounded the cane on the ground with a majestic reprimand on her face.
Li Lainan lowered his head, not daring to speak out to refute, but he was still not convinced in his heart.
Mrs. Lin helped Mrs. Li into the house, and both her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw Mr. Rabbit falling to the ground.
"Both of you, come in and speak clearly." Mrs. Li ordered coldly.
Li Xiangnan and Li Lainan returned to the house and stood in the middle of the room, both of them bowing their heads and saying nothing.
"Good heart, please stop crying."
Mrs. Lin helped Mrs. Li sit down, then sat next to Li Can to coax her.
Mrs. Li also wanted to coax Li Can, but due to the presence of the other two granddaughters, it was too obvious that she did not want to be partial.
"Auntie..." Li Can leaned into Lin's arms, crying with grievance.
"Stop crying, what's going on?" Ms. Lin asked.
"The fourth sister and the fifth sister came to borrow money from me..." Li Can sobbed, looking at Li Xiangnan and Li Lainan with tears in her eyes, her little face full of accusations.
"I didn't borrow money from you." Li Lainan glanced at her quickly and snorted coldly in his heart.
She did come here to borrow money, but she didn't say anything. She didn't recognize Li Can's words.
"Yes." Li Can cried, "It was borrowed by my fourth sister.
But Brother Zeyu was very strict with me, and I couldn't take any money out randomly, so he took out the heads and face that the fourth and fifth sisters had given me and told them to take them back and dispose of them themselves.
The fifth sister got angry for some reason and threw my rabbit without saying a word... Wuwu..."
As she spoke, her tears flowed faster, and the way she pursed her lips and shed tears made people feel extremely distressed.
"Don't cry, don't cry!" Mrs. Lin felt very distressed and took the veil to wipe her tears: "Isn't it just a gadget? Why is it worth crying like this? Auntie will let people go to the market right now.
Buy a few more.”
"No more..." After hearing this, Li Can cried even more fiercely: "That was a thank-you gift made by brother Chen for me. It can't be sold in the market..."
"That kid did it?" Mrs. Lin was a little surprised and looked at Mrs. Li.
Mrs. Li looked at Li Lainan: "Why did you throw away your seventh sister's things?"
"Seventh sister, please return the things to me and fourth sister." Li Lainan was no longer as arrogant as before, racking his brains to think of a reason: "Isn't that to sever the relationship between the sisters?
I couldn't bear to part with my seventh sister, so I was so angry that I threw the gadget away.
I thought this was just an ordinary toy, nothing important. If I had known that this was Seventh Sister’s favorite thing, I wouldn’t have broken it at all..."
After she finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief.
This reason is quite reasonable.
"She returned the things because your fourth sister asked for money and to help your fourth sister." Mrs. Li frowned: "This is not the reason for you to lose your temper and throw things."
"Fourth sister asked for money, and I don't lack it. Why did you even return mine?" Li Lainan's voice was louder, and she sounded quite confident.
"Because the fifth sister came with the fourth sister." Li Can said with tears: "Brother Zeyu taught me that no matter what I do, I can't favor one over the other.
If it is only given to the fourth sister but not to the fifth sister, I am afraid that the fifth sister will pick on me again..."
As she spoke, she began to sob again. Her fair and young face was covered with tears, her eye circles and the ends of her eyes were all pink, her long eyelashes were soaked with tears, and she looked pitifully aggrieved.
Mrs. Li felt both distressed and angry at the sight, and immediately said: "I have always taught you that sisters are like brothers and sisters, we should love each other, and be respectful to each other.
Li Lainan, you have never heard of me. You came to your sister's yard and made troubles without reason.
Our Jing'an Marquis Mansion does not have such rules, so this trend cannot last long.
Aunt Wei, please help me."
"Yes." Aunt Wei immediately agreed and went to the door to give instructions.
When Li Lainan heard about the family law, she immediately trembled. She used to bully her eighth sister, who was born as a concubine, and she also suffered from the family law.
The heart-piercing pain was so unforgettable that she couldn't help but feel palpitations when she heard the word "family law".
"Grandma!" She gritted her teeth and said, "It's just..."
Is it worth resorting to violence even if such a broken thing is broken?
She refuses to accept it!
"Grandma!" Li Xiangnan, who had been watching with cold eyes beside her, suddenly made a "pop" sound, knelt down and said with red eyes: "What happened today is indeed the fifth sister's fault!
However, the fifth sister was born with such an impulsive temper, and she didn't want to do that.
Grandma, please forgive her, the family law is so painful, the fifth sister cannot bear it..."
As she spoke, she kowtowed to Mrs. Li and begged sincerely.
She knew exactly what to do at this time.
She didn't care at all whether Li Lainan was beaten or not. The reason why she interceded for Li Lainan was just to make it easier for her to deal with her mother when she asked about it later.
"What's wrong with me? Li Xiangnan, who are you targeting?" Li Lainan suddenly lost his temper and shouted loudly: "Isn't it just that I dropped a small gadget? Is it worth taking action?
Grandma is obviously like a bowl of water, and she always favors Li Can!"
"Li Lainan, is this what you should say?" Mrs. Li's face sank, and her hand holding the cane was clenched tightly.
"Panpan..." Ms. Lin stood up and was about to scold her.
Suddenly, a person rushed in from outside. Before everyone could react, they heard a "pop"!
Li Lainan received a heavy slap on the face.
Everyone was shocked.
"You are a disobedient and unfilial person. You dare to talk to your grandmother like this and you still haven't apologized!" He said, trying to strike.
Li Lainan was so frightened that he knelt down with a "pop" sound: "Grandma, I was wrong!"
She covered her burning face and said this, but she felt very dissatisfied in her heart.
What's wrong with her? What she said is the truth! Ever since she was a child, the old woman has been partial to Li Can!
The same goes for my mother, who beat her indiscriminately when she came in and asked her to apologize. If it were Li Xiangnan, would my mother do the same?
Ever since she was a child, my mother had never laid a finger on Li Xiangnan, and she was so scared that Li Shu would melt away when she held it in her mouth. She wished she could be pampered by heaven.
She was the only one who didn't look like her mother's biological child. Her mother had never been kind to her, scolding her at every turn, and even slapped her last time.
The more she thought about it, the more resentful and resentful she became, and she shed tears of anger and hatred.
"Mother, sister-in-law." Mrs. He quickly calmed down her anger and greeted Mrs. Li and Ms. Lin.
"Here you go, sit down." Seeing that she had already hit Li Lainan, Mrs. Li naturally didn't want to have another attack, so she raised her hand slightly.
"My daughter-in-law doesn't dare." He knelt down and said, "My daughter-in-law has never disciplined her daughter well, and she is ashamed of her mother.
Please punish mother and daughter-in-law together."
Mrs. Li looked down at her: "You should get up first."
She understood that He's behavior was just to escape family law for Li Lainan.
"Mother..." He raised his head and looked at her.
"If it were normal, it would be nothing more than a quarrel between sisters." Mrs. Li said seriously: "But what happened today was completely unreasonable and showed no regrets.
You are her own mother, and you should not indulge her. She has already grown hair, and in the past two years, her husband's family has become very good-looking.
It doesn't matter if the family indulges her, but when they get married in the future, why don't you go along and protect her?"
He was speechless for a moment. She knew in her heart that although the old woman was biased, what she said was correct.
Mrs. Li added: "My daughter's family has done something unruly and unseemly when she marries to another family in the future. People are scolding you as a mother for not raising her well."
Therefore, you have to teach it well at home so that you can avoid bringing disgrace on your parents’ face when you go out."
"Old madam, I have invited the family." Aunt Wei went to the door, took the tray handed in from outside, turned around and spoke respectfully.
In the tray, there is a soft buffalo leather whip about three feet long. The whip body ranges from thick to thin, the whip tail is pointed, the handle is wrapped with gold wire, and it is decorated with a lock of vermilion silk.
