There was such a big commotion in the house, and the maids and wives were all busy. After finally cleaning up, Mrs. Qin went back into the house to change her clothes. The food on the table was already cold.
Chu Yunli knew before she came that she might not have anything to eat, so she came over after eating. Mrs. He opposite looked at her in surprise. At this moment, Ms. Qin came out of the house.
She looked away and stood up immediately, "Mom, do you want me?"
Mrs. Qin snorted coldly, "You are so clumsy, no wonder you were sold out of the house."
These people have to mention the fact that she was a girl every day. If anyone cares about this, they will only be angry. Chu Yunli is not like that. Her wet nurse has done it, and she is still afraid of being a girl. Fu Shen said, "Mother
, I was just careless. Although I used to be a maid, I have never served anyone. I... was an embroiderer. If you like clothes and handkerchiefs, I will make them when I go back and send them to you."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Qin's eyes became more contemptuous, "As the second young lady, it's not like there is no embroiderer in the house, so why do you need to do it yourself?"
As you said, there is no shortage of maids in the house, so why do you still have to have her take care of the mouthwash in person?
Mrs. Li Guogong is the wife of the Duke of the Kingdom. A high-ranking family needs to establish rules. The Li family is a merchant. Where did the rules come from?
If she just wants to go back to embroider, she doesn’t need to come over to wait for dinner. Besides, as Mrs. Qin said, there is no shortage of embroiderers in the house. When the time comes, she can just bring the embroiderers’ things and come over to pay them. "My daughter-in-law knows that there is no shortage in the house.
But this is my filial piety towards you."
"Go back." Mrs. Qin waved her hand impatiently.
After leaving the door, it didn't take long for some people to catch up behind me, "Sister-in-law."
Seeing her stop, Mrs. He looked her up and down, "I can't tell, but you have some tricks up your sleeve."
"What are you talking about, sister-in-law?" Chu Yunli looked confused. Even if she threw the bowl at Mrs. Qin on purpose, even if everyone tacitly agreed, she would never admit it to the public.
Mr. He snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Back in the courtyard, Li Shaoan was reading a book. When he saw her coming in, he smiled and asked, "Did they make things difficult for you?"
It will definitely be difficult. Whether it can be difficult or not depends on everyone's methods.
Then he said, "My mother-in-law has moved to this yard."
With Chu Yunli's status, she needs permission from the Qin family to go out. However, there are actually no rules in the mansion now. Li's father is busy all day long, and the backyard is mainly watched by the Qin family. If he really ignores her and goes out, he will go out.
Yes. But that would be tantamount to breaking up.
"You should go to the study room." Chu Yunli suggested. Li Shaoan has to take the provincial examination, which requires knowledge and, of course, a little luck.
He turned around and went into the inner room to read a book. The little girl outside came in and said, "Aunt Su, please see me."
At first glance, she thought she was Li Shaoan's aunt. Chu Yunli raised her eyebrows slightly, "Where did she come from?"
The little girl hurriedly said, "The main courtyard."
The woman who walked in had a stunning appearance, and her every frown and smile were as gentle as water. When she walked around, she felt as soft as a snake. After entering the door, she moved smoothly and said, "I have met the Second Young Madam."
Chu Yunli smiled and said, "Aunt Su, do you have something to do with me?"
"It's okay, come and talk to the Second Young Madam." Aunt Su pinched the petals in the vase on the table. The kodan on her fingers was more beautiful than the petals. She spoke in an unhurried tone, "By the way, Mrs. Li."
Mrs. Li's family is the Qin family, but she obviously does not recognize the Qin family.
Chu Yunli didn't want to get involved in the fight between them, and was a little uninterested.
Just listen to her, "The Li family has been prosperous in Lincheng for hundreds of years, but twenty years ago, the head of the Li family was robbed when he was escorting a batch of goods out of town. The goods were robbed by the robbers, and the head of the Li family was seriously injured.
The eldest young master, who is now the master, became the head of the family, but because the goods were robbed, the Li family's internal turnover was difficult, and the ancestral shop was almost sold."
"At this time, the eldest daughter of the Su family, who had been engaged to the master since she was a child, got married. The Su family was also very wealthy in Lincheng. Miss Su's dowry could be said to be ten miles of red dots. After she got married, the Li family turned around. After that, the Li family became richer and richer.
Until now, he is the richest businessman in Lin City."
Mrs. Li's original surname is Su, and the Aunt Su in front of her is also surnamed Su. There may be some relationship between the two people. Among the wealthy businessmen in Lin City now, there is no Su family with a name. Chu Yunli supports
He held his chin and pretended not to understand. Anyway, no one in the Li family knew that Li Shaoan remembered his mother.
She looked cold. Aunt Su looked at her several times, not knowing what she was thinking. "Are you wondering why the master didn't marry someone else but the wife changed her? Also, the wife's cold attitude towards the second young master? And she also deliberately tormented her.
you?"
"That's because she is not the second young master's biological mother!"
When she finished the last sentence, she carefully observed Chu Yunli's expression and saw that she was not even surprised at all, so she frowned and said, "Don't you think it's strange?"
Chu Yunli nodded, "It's indeed strange. This doesn't make sense. Since the mother is not the stepmother, how come the eldest young master is older than the husband? Unless he is not his biological son."
"Of course he is his biological son." Aunt Su said with a mocking smile, "The master already had a sweetheart before we got married. After that, he helped her step by step to become an equal wife. Even the children were older than the main wife. After that, he became a regular wife.
She died of illness, so naturally, the second young master is her son."
Chu Yunli nodded, "You want to tell me that the mother is not your biological mother. The second young master's biological mother's surname is Su. Let me guess... is she still related to you?"
"Aren't you surprised that the master treats me preferentially?" Aunt Su stretched out her hand to brush the almost red clothes on her body, "I wear these clothes all day long, and the master has never stopped me. It's all because... the second young master's mother is
My sister, and we sisters... look alike."
Chu Yunli looked at her with some surprise. The Aunt Su in front of her had exquisite features. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a stunning beauty. If Li Shaoan's mother had looked like this... it could only be explained by the fact that Mr. Li really loved Mrs. Qin.
Already.
"Are you sisters from the same father and mother?" she asked.
Aunt Su's eyelashes slightly lowered, "No, my sister is the eldest daughter, and I and my mother are the step-siblings. Even though we are not the same mother, we have a good relationship since childhood. Eighteen years ago, the Su family was sued and
Officials colluded secretly, their homes were confiscated and imprisoned, men were beheaded, and women were sold... Now, I am the only one left in the Su family."
Who knows which of the words here is true and which is false? Anyway, Chu Yunli has never seen half-sisters truly in love with each other. At most, it’s just a matter of face. Or maybe it’s good that everyone is in peace and doesn’t frame each other.
Of course, it may be that she is too guarded and finds fault in everything. In fact, what Aunt Su has said so far is sound and true.
"Why don't you tell your husband yourself these words?"
Aunt Su raised her eyes and said, "I'm afraid he won't be able to accept it. As an outsider, you can see it more clearly. It's best to find a suitable opportunity and tell him slowly."
"The death of the eldest sister that day must be attributable to Mrs. Qin's hand. You have been serving her all day long. If my sister knew about it, I'm afraid I don't know how sad she would be."
Who said she was going to serve Qin? I served her this morning and I believe she has been deeply impressed. If Qin still dares to come, Chu Yunli will dare to mess with her again!
Aunt Su said in an angry tone, "When my sister was alive, Mrs. Qin made her suffer a lot of injustice. Now, it's time for you, the daughter-in-law, to seek justice for her."
Chu Yunli said in her heart: Here we come.
After talking for so long, I have now reached the point, "But as a daughter-in-law, how can I seek justice? Besides, I just walked in yesterday, and I don't know anything about the Li family, so I still need to discuss it with my husband.
Yes, who knows if you are making up stories?"
"You..." Aunt Su was so angry that her fingers trembled, she turned around and went out angrily, "Even if you don't take action, I will still avenge my sister! Doesn't she care about Mrs. Li's identity the most? I want to make sure she can't do it!"
By the time he finished speaking, he had already gone out.
Li Shaoan came out of the room and sat down opposite her. Chu Yunli reached out to pour him tea and asked, "What do you think?"
Li Shaoan drank tea and then said, "I don't know if she is my mother's sister, but she does look similar. Su family? Find someone to check."
The next day, Chu Yunli went to the main courtyard to pay her respects. Today, Mrs. Qin was surrounded by a large circle of fat and thin people, all of whom were Master Li's concubines. She just waved her hand and let her go out.
My mother-in-law's new yard was very close to Li's house. The two of them got on the carriage and arrived in just a few breaths.
Even after she moved, her mother-in-law was quite used to it, and now she didn't want Madam Hu to serve her. Li Shaoan found a maid to serve her. She was a well-behaved maid who worked hard and chatted with her to relieve her boredom. She was not someone like Ruyue who was just looking for trouble.
.
She was living a good life, and Chu Yunli felt relieved. Her mother-in-law now would not be as worried about Hu Lanyue as she was in her previous life. She also asked the maid to prepare medicinal meals, and told her all the recipes and methods.
Now, let her cook a cup of it every day for her mother-in-law.
After carefully giving instructions, the two of them went out, but did not go back. Instead, they went to a restaurant on the street. Chu Yunli liked going to restaurants very much. After entering, the waiter took him up to the second floor. They heard a voice at the top of the stairs.
A familiar male voice said, "You are pregnant now. If Zhang An dares to take a concubine, I will beat him up."
The voice turned out to be that of the middle-aged man who had beaten Lin Lixia across the wall that day, and the person standing next to him at this time was actually He.
