The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 35
"Ma'am is really despicable." Mother He blushed again, "She just plans to make the girl a craftsman, so she won't be able to marry a good family in the future."

In fact, Li Chaochao originally planned to be a craftsman, so that the number of people who could marry her would be limited, and it would save Lan Lingyu from entangled with her endlessly, but Mother He disagreed with her life and death, so she had no choice but to give up.

This is not a compromise, but to respect everyone's opinion for their own sake, so as not to blindly go the wrong way.

Mother He asked hesitantly: "What is the purpose of the girl doing this?"

Li Chaochao's mouth curved even deeper, "Su Ji has almost monopolized the entire Zhenjiang's incense powder, do you think the Cao family and the Lan family will let it go? I will cut off their money before they make a move, and make them lose everything!"

Before going to bed at night, Dongyue came in hurriedly and replied: "Girl, Aunt Liu was sent to the washing room by the eldest lady."

Li Chaochao lowered his eyes and didn't ask too many questions, he just told Dongyue not to disturb anyone.

A few days later, when Jinniang was getting married, Mother He put a hooded cloak on Li Chaochao herself, and said: "Let Dongyue go with you. It’s up to you, but you still have to be careful.”

"It's still my mother's thoughtfulness. I'll go back as soon as I go." Li Chaochao explained again, "If I don't come back within an hour, don't panic. The most important thing is not to let the people at Xinlanyuan know."

"Yes."

Mother He sent Li Chaochao out of the courtyard in person, Dongyue followed her all the way with a lantern in her hand, and when she arrived outside a courtyard, she said: "The slaves have already asked, and everyone in the washing room has been transferred away to help the second girl." As for the marriage, only Aunt Liu is involved."

Li Chaochao sneered, this was simply an excuse for Mrs. Liu to embarrass Aunt Liu on purpose.

She pushed open the dilapidated courtyard door, and by the moonlight, she saw a thin woman sitting by the well washing alone in the courtyard.

Aunt Liu felt the wind blowing, and she shivered from the cold. Although it was spring, her hands soaked in the water were still bitingly cold. She raised her hand to her mouth and breathed, and saw a figure standing at the door. With her back to the moonlight, her whole body was dyed a hazy silver gray. She was so frightened that she kicked over the wooden basin by her feet when she stood up, and her feet were soaked by the cold well water.

"Who is it?" Aunt Liu panicked and shouted in a low voice. At this moment, she didn't dare to speak out.

The person crossed the threshold and took two quick steps before revealing her palm-sized face. Li Chaochao took off his cape and said with a smile, "Aunt Liu."

Seeing that it was Li Chaochao who came, Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief. She wiped her hands on her body and saluted cautiously, "Fifth Miss."

As soon as his legs squatted slightly, Li Chaochao quickly stepped forward and stopped him, "There are no outsiders here, and besides, Aunt Liu is an elder, so why bother to be polite."

Aunt Liu raised her head in amazement, her eyes flashed an incredible light, she seemed to want to say something, but in the end she just pouted her lips, and then lowered her head again in bewilderment.

When Li Chaochao attacked the third aunt before, he once said that the aunt was not an elder, but now she slapped her own mouth, which is really unbelievable. Li Chaochao had expected that she would be like this, and did not show too much politeness. He took out the chilblain ointment prepared in advance and stuffed it into Aunt Liu's arms, "I saw the second elder brother give Auntie a bottle last time, but he didn't see you. It seems to be a problem with the medicine. I prepared it myself. Maybe it will be fine." Some."

"Fifth Miss." Aunt Liu murmured, wondering what Li Chaochao meant by doing this.

"If you dislike it, just throw it away after I leave, but don't throw it in front of me, I will be angry."

Li Chaochao stuck out her tongue, her pretty face showed a bit of girlish mischievousness, Aunt Liu felt her kindness, smiled knowingly, and held it in her hand, "I don't know how to dislike Miss Wu's kindness... "

She hesitated for a while, "But you don't get rewarded for nothing, what does Miss Wu have to tell me to do? I'm afraid I have more energy than I want."

Aunt Liu is soft and timid, but it doesn't mean she is dull, on the contrary, she knows what kind of person Cao is by her side. Since she is destined to be manipulated, there is no second aunt who relies on the old lady as her backing The third aunt is favored by the Eldest Master. She is afraid that Brother Xing will suffer. In order to be able to settle down, she simply allows the Elder Madam to knead and make circles without resistance. If she can't bear it, she will make a big mess. As long as Brother Xing is successful in the future, she will be It doesn't matter how much you suffer.

Seeing Li Chaochao coming here late at night, she was surprised at first, then she thought about Li Chaochao's recent actions in her heart, and guessed that she was either asking for something or just showing her favor.

That's exactly what she thought, but she heard Li Chaochao sneer suddenly, "Aunt Liu, you have fallen into this field, and you can't protect yourself, so what can you do for me? I only do this for the sake of my aunt and I. What's more, this thing is not of any benefit, if you buy my aunt with a box of ointment, then my aunt's heart will be too cheap."

Aunt Liu was choked, but she still couldn't believe that someone like Li Chaochao would have compassion. Others might think that Li Chaochao is gentle and cute, but she can't be underestimated just because of her will to endure the eldest lady.

"It's because I can't speak, so please don't be offended by the fifth girl." Aunt Liu carefully restrained her thoughts and said nothing, "I don't know why the fifth girl came here late at night? If it's just a bottle of ointment, it's really motivating the crowd. , as the saying goes, politeness is less important than affection, that is, if you don't buy people's hearts, being able to remember me at this time is also a gift in the snow."

Seeing Aunt Liu's disbelief, Li Chaochao shrugged nonchalantly, "I just did something with little effort, Auntie should know that I'm not the kind of mindless person who makes enemies for himself everywhere."

This is the truth. Aunt Liu could see that Li Chaochao had no malice towards her. Although she threatened Brother Xing with a gun and wronged Xiuniang in her words last time, at least she didn't tell about their private meeting. It is guessed that Chunxi's death that day was probably caused by Li Chaochao, and because of this, she had some scruples about Li Chaochao's methods and scheming, but she also felt that she was caught by her, and it was inevitable that she would feel a little guilty.

Aunt Liu didn't answer, Li Chao continued: "Actually speaking, I am a little envious of Aunt Liu and Second Brother."

"Hehe." Aunt Liu smiled wryly, "Fifth Miss, stop teasing me."

"Does what I said look very serious?" Li Chaochao touched his face and said seriously: "At least the second brother and you are silently supporting and guarding him behind him, and my aunt died early. There's no one to talk to."

Li Chaochao said it sincerely, but there was no trace of self-pity on his face. Aunt Liu herself couldn't tell which heartstring was touched, her nose was inexplicably sour, "The dead are gone, fifth girl, don't be sad about the past, in fact, she is alive." people have problems too.”
