The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 168: Promising Love (2)
When the fourth girl was mentioned, the old master rubbed his hands, "Don't mention that broken shoe!"

Aunt Liu frowned, how could she call her daughter a broken shoe, how could this ruthless man deserve to be a father and a husband!

The elder rubbed against Aunt Liu shamelessly, "I just wronged you."

Aunt Liu sneered away from the Elder’s mouth, leaned on his shoulder and panted, “I’m not wronged, the concubine from the outer court is not allowed to enter our house. Come back and host."

At the end, she added, "She won't say anything while the eldest lady is ill."

Every word that Aunt Liu said scratched at the tip of the old man's heart, and every sentence was comfortable to hear. He also wanted to relax his muscles and bones all over his body, so he hugged Aunt Liu again and struggled. He was so tired that he was out of breath. Lying on her body, sighed: "You are right, you are right..."

This night, many things happened again, but they were all contradicted by Li Chaochao's words.

The eldest lady of the Li family went crazy, and the news spread like wildfire.

The Eldest Master got up early the next morning and went to Yonghe Hall first. After discussing with the old lady, he ordered the Xinlan Garden to be locked up so that the eldest lady could recuperate. The waiter's stick died, but when Xiuniang's wedding was approaching, and when the fourth girl had an accident, the old lady forgave everyone in the face of the Bodhisattva, but the eldest lady was never allowed to step out of Xinlan Garden.

After hearing the news, the disturbance in Xinlanyuan was even more vicious, and everyone would only say that the eldest madam was getting more and more crazy, and no one cared about it, even Li Manman in the Crescent Moon Tower stood propped up in front of the attic. On the floor, ten fingers gripped the door frame tightly, almost falling headlong.

Chunfang held back her tears and supported her from behind, "Miss, you have to cherish yourself."

Li Manman laughed suddenly, there was bitterness in that laughter, unwillingness, and deep resentment, "I want to see my mother!"

Chunfang knelt on the ground, "I can't enter Xinlan Garden! They say the lady is crazy!"

"Mother can't be crazy!" Li Manman roared, "Even if I die, I will go in!"

After finishing speaking, she passed out again. Li Manman has hardly woken up steadily for a whole day in the past few days. She would faint if she was not sleeping or waking up. The doctor said that she was greatly stimulated. One day, she will become insane like the eldest lady.

No one dared to neglect Li Manman, although in this family, even the servants looked at her with disdain and shame, and now even the eldest lady is restrained, whoever treats her as a serious prostitute, lost With the support of the eldest lady, Li Manman fell into this field again, and it was impossible for her to stand up again—because the new aunt and grandma were about to enter the door.

In the Shuangzhu Pavilion, the old lady sent Chunchun to personally invite Li Chaochao to Yonghe Hall, and Li Chaochao said that he would go after getting dressed.

When the spring left, the servants in the Shuangzhu House tidied up Li Chaochao one after another, smoked the clothes with a smoke cage, and put on a pipa lapel top. Mother He put on a satin and fox lap pleated cloak herself, and said with a smile: "The weather is so bad now." It's cold, the girl should wear more clothes."

Li Chaochao looked up and looked outside, "It looks like it's going to snow."

"It looks so." Mother He smiled, and then said: "I heard that the old lady spared the death of the servants of Xinlanyuan."

Li Chaochao looked at her, "The old lady is compassionate."

Seeing Li Chaochao's serious expression, Mother He hurriedly said, "If you're worried, Miss, why don't you find an excuse to let Chunli come out."

Li Chaochao tightened the cloak on his body, "Let her work harder, it's not easy to make excuses at this time, otherwise it will attract suspicion."

She saw Dongyue and Xiangchen bring the charcoal fire into the house, the days are getting colder and richer people have already made fires, since the old man heard Lan Lingyu's words, he has become more and more interested in the Shuangzhu Pavilion.

Li Chaochao asked: "Who sent this?"

Xiangchen replied: "It was brought by my aunt. She said that it is cold. The girl caught cold in the mountains before, so she can't keep freezing."

She smiled and said: "I heard that my aunt only gave charcoal fire to the old lady and you, it's the first one."

"Then it seems that Xinlanyuan and Xianyuelou are freezing cold this winter."

The lit charcoal fire took care of Li Chaochao's indifferent face, but Mother He smiled, "The people in those two places are also deserted, so I don't care about that anymore."

"Qiu Shuang, go and take care of the servants in those two courtyards with the money in the account. It's fine for the master to suffer, and the servants will also be affected, otherwise it will be even more chilling."

Qiu Shuang nodded understandingly, and then opened the curtain to let Li Chaochao go first.

Li Chaochao took Xia He to the Yonghe Hall, and Chunchun greeted him and said that the old lady was in the main room where the Bodhisattva was enshrined. Li Chaochao wanted to wait, but was led to see the old lady directly.

Xia He was waiting outside, Li Chaochao dragged the cloak to her, and went in, and saw the old lady kneeling on the futon, chanting scriptures, she silently kowtowed to the Bodhisattva half a step away, and waited without saying a word .

This kneeling lasted for half an hour. Li Chaochao knelt behind the old lady like an old monk in meditation. She felt peaceful in her heart. She didn't need the salvation of the Bodhisattva to do anything, as long as she could be worthy of herself. After several times of time travel and rebirth, she understands life better than anyone else. It is precious, and she will not regret it if she has done it. She is in awe of the gods in her heart, but she does not pin her hopes on it. If she can't do it herself, what is the use of praying to the Bodhisattva!

If the old lady thought that she would feel guilty in front of the Bodhisattva, then she was really wrong.

Li Chaochao believes that a person who has lived for dozens of years can see through many problems. Whether it is the conspiracy of the eldest lady or his own tricks, they must not escape her eyes. The old lady is like a sea god in the Li family. As long as the interests she cares about are not harmed, she can turn a blind eye.

Only this time, the old lady came forward to compromise?Still can't sit still?
Li Chaochao closed her eyes, and there was no emotion on her face. She heard the sound of clothes rubbing in front of her, and hurriedly got up to help her, "Grandmother."

"Ah, here comes Chao Chao." The old lady seemed to have just discovered Li Chao Chao, and smiled and patted her hand, then walked a few steps to a chair beside her.

In the spring outside, I heard the old lady finished her scriptures, ordered someone to serve tea to rinse her mouth, wiped her hands with a clean handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Today, the old lady stayed longer than usual, Fifth Miss has been waiting for a long time."

"Oh, really?"

The old lady's graceful and luxurious demeanor showed a little tiredness, and she sighed: "Recently, the house is not peaceful, so I have recited the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" several times to ask the Bodhisattva to eliminate the sins committed by the family's evil obstacles. I am already old. , any unbearable humiliation is directed at me."

Chunchun paused on purpose, wanting Li Chaochao beside her to answer the conversation, but after waiting for a long while, she still didn't speak, so she turned her head and glanced in surprise. Seeing her normal expression, she bit the bullet and answered, "Old lady, you must relax. That's right, don't hurt your body, there is no one to rely on at home, but I have to wait for you to preside over it, if you are troubled because of the affairs of several masters, they will feel uneasy."
