Li Luru heard the sound and ca out, "..." Her mouth opened to call out ’mother,’ but nothing ca out.
"Why is it that you can’t speak?" Yang Aoshuang approached and held her, feeling quite distressed, "Although our family is not of noble lineage, we are still a well-known large family in Quanya County. From a young age, I have raised you with care, with many maids and servants, just fearing you would suffer any grievances. But look at you, you went out once and made yourself such a ss."
"Does it still hurt?"
Li Luru quickly shook her head.
Yet, Yang Aoshuang rolled up her sleeve, revealing the red marks that had been dicated.
"And you say it doesn’t hurt, you silly child." Yang Aoshuang gently patted her, "Don’t bla your mother, I was just montarily anxious."
Li Luru stepped forward, hugging Yang Aoshuang with a silly grin.
"You..." She touched her finger to her forehead. "These days, you must not go out again, stay at ho and prepare your dowry."
Why still prepare a dowry, wasn’t there already one?
Seeing her confusion, Yang Aoshuang said, "That was then, this is now, what you had for the Wang Family was enough. But for the Ye Family, that’s not nearly enough. I heard that the fiancée of Ye Family’s Second is the legitimate daughter of Marquis Chang’an’s mansion, and she will be your sister-in-law in the future. We definitely can’t compare in status, but financially, we can’t be too far behind her."
"Your mother has had ginseng soup prepared for you, drink it and rest early, we can talk about anything else tomorrow."
After sending off Yang Aoshuang, Li Luru bounced away happily. Having dealt with her mother, the upcoming days would be as carefree as a fish in water.
"Miss, Madam still cares about you." Xiaohong said as she brought in the ginseng soup, "Quickly drink this while it’s hot."
Li Luru rolled her eyes at her, she’s my real mother, how could she not care!
At this ti, neither mother nor daughter was aware that a great storm was brewing in the front courtyard.
After a certain intimacy, Concubine Sun recounted to Li Shan the words she had heard from Li ngru.
Li Shan thought she was joking.
"Don’t speak nonsense, I know you don’t get along with the madam, but no matter what she is the madam, and you must respect her. Moreover, how can you make such baseless claims? Do not bring it up again, for if the madam hears about it, even I won’t be able to protect you."
Li Shan was quite displeased at this mont; a concubine is a concubine, he could favor her, but he couldn’t disrupt the rules of the Li Family. To slander the head mistress with such matters was tantamount to saying he, the head of the household, lacked discernnt; how could he tolerate that?
Concubine Sun saw his displeasure yet was not afraid, and continued, "Old Master, this matter is absolutely true, it was overheard by Yang Nanny and ng’er, and it’s not sothing our ng’er who never lies, would make up. Besides, she wouldn’t dare fabricate such a thing? Originally, I didn’t want to bother you with this, but it concerns our Li Family."
"How can our Li Family raise another’s child?" Concubine Sun spoke while observing his expression, and seeing his brow furrowed, she changed her tune, "In my opinion, Old Master is kind-hearted, and our Li Family is vast and prosperous, able to raise not one child, but ten or eight. But now, this is not our family’s child yet is to beco a Princess Consort. If they are nostalgic, they might lift us up in the future. But if they are not, one day, upon learning they are not a true Li Family mber, or if their real parents co looking, what would those riches have to do with our Li Family then?"
Needless to say, her words hit directly to Li Shan’s heart.
