Compared to the bustle and joy in the Seventh Prince's Mansion, the atmosphere at the Third Baptism Ceremony held in the Fourth Prince's Mansion was a bit subtle.
Li Xiangru's face was beaming, but he wasn't pretending.
She was so happy that she held Brother Ting in her arms like a jewel. She opened her mouth and praised him: "Look at our Brother Ting, he is fat and strong, and very strong. He waved his little fists here and there.
It hurts a lot if it hits someone's face! He will definitely be a naughty boy in the future."
The love in my heart almost overflowed.
However, the female relatives who came to congratulate her saw that this was not the case.
The child was indeed born strong and extremely big. Otherwise, Concubine Xie would not have had a difficult delivery...
The child's mother died in an unknown manner. The poor child was ignorant and just lay in the arms of his aunt. When he grows up and learns that his mother died in childbirth, he wonders if he will have a grudge against his aunt...
And the fourth prince's concubine, who is beaming with joy. She is so happy holding her concubine in her arms now. What if the concubine becomes resentful of her in the future? How will she feel?
That’s right!
Even if there was no human or physical evidence, everyone believed that Xie Yunxi died at the hands of Li Xiangru.
A slap in the face is not a slap in the face. In front of Li Xiangru, no one would mention Xie Yunxi who died in vain without the sense of humor.
…
Someone from the Li Mansion also came to congratulate me today, it was Mrs. Li.
Li Mo and Fang Ruomeng are both in the future.
Li Xiangru was quite dissatisfied with his brother and sister-in-law. After the guests left, he complained to Mrs. Li: "It's true for my eldest brother and sister-in-law. Today is brother Ting's baptism, and both of them are not coming. This is shocking.
What would you think? Don’t you think that my mother’s family has no one to support me?”
What's even more annoying is that Fang Ruomeng went to the Seventh Prince's Mansion to congratulate him!
Are biological brothers and sisters less affectionate than classmates?
Mrs. Li had been smiling for a long time, but now she couldn't hold it anymore. She glanced at Li Xiangru and said in a serious tone: "The seventh prince's beloved daughter was baptized, so it's appropriate for Fang to go and congratulate her. As for Brother Ting,
, it’s not coming from your belly after all. It’s always separated by a layer. It doesn’t matter if it comes or not!”
Li Xiangru: "..."
Li Xiangru, who was stabbed by his own mother, couldn't laugh anymore. He was embarrassed and wronged, and tears rolled in his eyes: "What did mother mean by saying this?"
"I have been married to His Highness for more than two years, but I have not been able to conceive. Finally, I have Brother Ting, and I, the princess, can breathe a little easier. Brother Ting is not from my belly, he is also my son. I am
As a legitimate mother, it is only natural and right for you to keep your concubine by your side."
"Didn't my mother mean to poke my heart when she said that?"
Talking and crying at the same time.
Mrs. Li felt distressed and angry at the same time: "I only said these two words, and you felt wronged and uncomfortable, crying. Do you know what others say about you behind your back?"
"Even if you want to raise Brother Ting, you have to make it look good. How could you kill Xie Yunxi so quickly!"
"Do you really think that everyone else is a fool? One side gave birth to a child, and the other side kicked off its legs and died! Who didn't know that it was you?"
"Today's baptism, everyone is talking and laughing in front of you, but I don't know how to arrange you behind your back! When I think of this, I feel so angry that my head hurts! You still expect your brother and sister-in-law to come to support you.
What waist! How to support it?"
"If you weren't my biological daughter, I wouldn't even want to come today!"
The more Mrs. Li talked, the angrier she became. She ignored Li Xiangru's tears and stretched out her hand to tap Li Xiangru's forehead: "You! You are so impatient! Just let Xie Yunxi live for a year and a half and then die slowly."
.No one can say anything. You are so impatient!"
"Just wait! I don't know how many people will say in the future that you are ruthless and considerate of human life!"
Li Xiangru was full of grievances and cried: "Xie Yunxi really had a difficult delivery. At that time, I only asked the midwife to use secret methods to induce labor for her, and I didn't do anything to her at all."
To be precise, Xie Yunxi died before he could take action.
This is God's will!
Xie Yunxi should not have to live anymore!
How can this account be placed on her?
How could those people talk nonsense behind her back and ruin her reputation?
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes at Li Xiangru angrily: "I do believe what you said. It's a pity that others don't believe it. You should be lucky that Xie Jun has severed ties with Xie Yunxi. Otherwise, if you came to the door openly and openly today, I would not
It depends on what you do!"
Li Xiangru wiped her tears and said with a fierce look on her face: "How dare he! A mere minister of etiquette dares to come to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to cause trouble!"
Mrs. Li: "..."
Ever since the Fourth Prince was conferred the title of Prince Ning, his reputation in the court has plummeted. I don't know how many people are watching the Fourth Prince's jokes. Even Mr. Li Ge, when talking about his grandson-in-law, is no longer as affectionate as before.
Only Li Xiangru still treats her husband as a god!
Mrs. Li didn't bother to talk about these troublesome things anymore: "Anyway, you just have to be aware of it. From now on, you should keep a low profile and restrain yourself, and don't make a joke."
…
After Mrs. Li left, Li Xiangru became more and more aggrieved and depressed as she thought about it, and cried hard.
The fourth prince drank a lot at noon and slept in the study for half the day. He didn't get up until dinner time, and then he saw Li Xiangru coming over with a pair of red and swollen eyes.
The fourth prince's rare good mood was instantly wiped out, his expression darkened, and he glanced at Li Xiangru unkindly: "Why do you look like this on such a happy day?"
Li Xiangru was full of grievances, and finally had someone to talk to. He immediately said what Mrs. Li said that day: "...I am really unjust. Brother Ting is big and will not be born for a long time. If I don't
To give birth is to kill two lives. Under such circumstances, what's wrong with keeping the child?"
"It's good now. Everyone thinks I was the one who poisoned Concubine Xie. Today, brother Ting is having his third ceremony, and everyone came to see my jokes. It's really fun."
As he spoke, tears fell down.
The fourth prince couldn't bear to listen to this, so he opened his mouth and said, "No one dares to say nonsense in front of you. You don't have to worry about what is said behind your back."
Where can I ignore it!
If this continues, how can she, the fourth prince's concubine, have any dignity?
Before Li Xiangru could say anything more, the fourth prince's face had already darkened.
Li Xiangru had no choice but to shut up.
After finishing dinner quietly, the fourth prince suddenly asked again: "Is your mother the only one here at Li Mansion today?"
Li Xiangru hummed and glanced at the fourth prince uneasily: "Sister-in-law has gone to the seventh prince's residence. My eldest brother has something to do today and has no time to come."
The fourth prince sneered: "Just come if you don't want to!"
He, the fourth prince, has become an outright joke in the eyes of everyone since he was given the title of Queen Ning. Even the Yue family doesn't take him seriously!
