Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 117
In the matter of Li Yao leaving the mansion privately, she finally failed to escape Mrs. Li's hurdle, and was fined to be locked up in the boudoir for half a month and not allowed to go out.

No matter how many people pressed her to ask, Li Yao refused to tell where she went that day, and only said that she met the young master of the Sheng family when she was walking down the street in a daze.

Mrs. Li heard that after Bai's death, she had changed her temperament, so she didn't dare to force her at the moment, so she ordered a few maids to stay in her room, and asked Li Rui to invite the imperial physician to see her.

This time, Li Yao was surprisingly quiet, not to mention cooperating with the imperial doctor's consultation, even taking medicine was very obedient and obedient.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zhao was very happy. After a few days, seeing Li Yao practicing calligraphy in the room with a peaceful mind, she went to Hua'an Hall in person and begged the old lady to remove the caretaker from the room.

Mrs. Li saw that Mrs. Zhao begged to come to her with her pregnancy, and she couldn't refute Mrs. Zhao's face in public, so she acquiesced.

"It's been hard for you these days. You are still pregnant, and you still have to worry about your younger siblings. If you are too busy, ask your aunt to share some, so you can't hurt your body."

Mrs. Li asked someone to bring a few plates of snacks to Mrs. Zhao, and a bowl of goat's milk.

As soon as Mrs. Zhao smelled the smell of goat milk, her chest felt a little tight, she rubbed her heart and turned her face away.

Mrs. Li saw that her embarrassment was so severe, she quickly asked the maid to take the goat milk down, and said:
"How good is this? You've lost a lot of weight while you're pregnant, and you still have to worry about things inside and out."

Mrs. Zhao slowed down before saying:

"Grandmother, it's okay. The imperial physician often comes to ask for pulse, saying that granddaughter-in-law's baby is fine."

"I heard from my aunt that she was very sick when she was pregnant with me, but I was born weighing seven catties."

Mrs. Li said with a smile that it would be good, and told Mrs. Zhao not to work too hard.

The two were talking, Li Taiwei and Zhaohe came in to greet Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li stared at Zhaohe's slightly pregnant belly, her brows and eyes widened, she hurriedly stopped the two of them and asked them to sit down.

Mrs. Zhao wanted to get up to salute Zhaohe, but was stopped by Mrs. Li.

"You are all pregnant, so there is no need to talk about these empty etiquettes"

Zhaohe agreed with a smile, asked a few more questions about Mrs. Zhao's body, and then said to Mrs. Li:

"Mother, the elder aunt is not in good health and needs to be raised for a while. Yuan Zhen is pregnant again like me. The daughter-in-law discussed with her husband and wants to hand over the management of the house to A Luan for the time being. Mother sees How are you?"

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and said:
"Saburo agrees to this?"

"Speaking of which, Sister Wei is also [-] years old this year. She has also reached the age when she should learn to be a housekeeper."

Showa smiled and said:

"My husband originally mentioned this matter to me, and my mother also knows that I am a lazy person. In the future, when Aluan gets married, the matter of being in charge of the family will have to fall on Yuan Zhen."

"Right now, ask Ah Luan to take the lead, and then take over after Yuan Zhen gives birth to a child."

A flash of surprise flashed in Mrs. Li's eyes, and she heard Zhao's polite refusal:

"I can't help it. Yuan Zhen thanked my aunt for her love, but how can I, a concubine, take on such a heavy responsibility?"

Li Taiwei knew that Mrs. Zhao was doing this because of Mrs. Bai, so she was afraid, so she said:
"Sister-in-law, don't be shy. Since you are married into the Li family, and you are the second housewife, how can you talk about your background?"

"Besides, I can't write two Li characters in one stroke. Our two houses are not separated, so my sister-in-law can't be lazy."

Mrs. Zhao told Li Taiwei what she said was both touching and funny, and she laughed out loud with red eyes.

Mrs. Li was very emotional:
"Your mother-in-law has a demon in her heart. This matter has nothing to do with you children. Your third uncle and third aunt will not neglect your second room because of this. Put your heart in your stomach, take good care of your body, and add more money to the second room." A brother and a sister are."

Zhao shi blushed and nodded.

Mrs. Li looked at Li Taiwei again, she felt troubled in her heart, and said:

"You monkey, you have never been impatient. Now you have to learn how to run the house, so you have to work hard! Get up in my room tomorrow, and grandma will teach you by yourself."

Li Taiwei looked at Mrs. Zhao hesitant to speak, and said:
"The fourth younger sister is about the same age as me. Grandmother might as well invite the fourth younger sister to learn to run the house together with me."

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Li Taiwei gratefully, and begged Mrs. Li:
"Grandmother and sister-in-law suddenly lost their mother's protection. I, as a sister-in-law, can't do many things. I hope grandma will spend more time teaching her."

Mrs. Li thought that Mrs. Zhao's words were reasonable, so she nodded and said:
"Let's invite her to come with me tomorrow, but there is one thing. The door must be guarded! Except for coming to Hua'an Hall, she can only stay in her own room, and she is not allowed to step out of the door!"

Mrs. Zhao hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Coming out of Hua'an Hall, Mrs. Zhao went straight to Li Yao's yard, and saw Li Yao staring at a lush jujube tree in the corner of the yard in a daze.

"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Mrs. Zhao called softly.

Li Yao was startled, and said with a pale face:

"No nothing."

Mrs. Zhao stepped forward to hold her hand and said happily:

"Grandmother told you to go to Hua'an Hall tomorrow and learn to run the house with your third sister."

Li Yao raised her eyes suddenly, shook off Zhao Shi's hand, and said coldly:
"I don't want to be with her!"

Zhao's eyes showed worry, and said:

"Sister, what are you talking about? Your third sister begged for you in person."

Li Yao looked at Zhao Shi coldly:

"Why do I have to be manipulated by her?"

"I once begged her to speak soft words to my grandmother for me, allowing my mother's coffin to enter. But she stood on the sidelines and humiliated my mother to take it upon herself. Why should I listen to her arrangement?"

Looking at Li Yao, Mrs. Zhao said softly:

"Sister, this matter has nothing to do with your third sister, it's our second room's fault, what can you do?"

"Shut up!"

Li Yao suddenly shouted sharply:

"How dare you accuse my mother? Fortunately, my mother treats you like a daughter. You, a concubine, are so ignorant of what's good and what's wrong, and you have such a mind of picking inside and outside."

"presumptuous!"

There was an angry shout outside the door, and Li Yao's face turned pale instantly in shock.

Before Li Rui had time to change his official robe, he stepped forward and slapped Li Yao resoundingly, pointed at her and reprimanded:
"Is this how you usually talk to your sister-in-law?"

"The mother you respect in your heart taught you to be so disrespectful and disrespectful?"

When Mrs. Zhao saw that Li Rui was really angry, she couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Li Rui's sleeve, and dragged him out of the yard.

Li Rui was so angry that he supported Zhao Shi with one hand, and the veins on his forehead popped up:
"Li Yao! Look at your current appearance, you still don't have half of the knowledgeable appearance of the past!"

Li Pu passed by outside and heard noises in the courtyard, rushed in, saw Li Yao's red and swollen face, and immediately shouted to Li Rui:

"You have something to say to her! What are you doing?"

Li Rui sneered:
"If I don't hit her, can she come to her senses!"

"When she fights with your sister-in-law, you should slap her for Brother Wei!"

"You have no respect for your elders, and you left home without authorization. Do you see if your sister is still the old Li Yao!"

Hearing Li Rui's biting words, Li Pu fell silent as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

"I go."

Li Yao covered her red and swollen side face, staring at Zhao Shi and Li Rui coldly,
"Tomorrow I will go to Hua'an Hall and learn how to run the house with my grandmother"
