When Jiang Shi heard this voice, he didn't dare to raise his head anymore, hid his swollen cheeks, and then walked directly into the house.

The more she hid, the more strange Li Xiaotong felt, she chased after her and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" Why ignore me? What are you hiding from me? ”

Jiang replied in a panic: "It's nothing, my mother is just a little tired, and she wants to lie down and rest, you hurry up and finish copying the female ring." ”

Li Xiaotong complained: "I've been copying it for a long time today, and it's rare to rest for a while, mother, you asked me to copy it again, and I don't feel sorry for my daughter at all." ”

"If you don't want to copy it, you can play by yourself for a while, my mother won't accompany you, hurry, close the door!"

The maid who followed her in hurriedly wanted to close the door, but Li Xiaotong stopped her directly, she felt more and more strange, and stepped forward and grabbed Jiang directly, "Mother, why are you avoiding me?" What's weird about you? What did you do in the morning? So tired? ”

was pulled by her, Jiang Shi hurriedly avoided her, avoiding her sight, for fear of letting her see the scars on his face and worry about her.

The more she didn't want Li Xiaotong to see it, the more Li Xiaotong wanted to see it, and pulled her to prevent her from leaving, until she saw Jiang's swollen cheeks.

She withdrew her hand, covered her mouth and whispered, "Mother, why is your face swollen?" What the hell is going on? ”

Seeing that he couldn't hide the matter, Jiang had no choice but to lie: "It's nothing, it's nothing, you don't have to worry, I just accidentally fell and the swelling will go down in a few days." ”

Li Xiaotong had an inquisitive look in his eyes and questioned: "Mother, you liar, where did you fall?" You still have palm prints on your face, you were obviously beaten, who dared to beat you? Did Madame hit me? ”

Jiang Shi was afraid that she would be angry and make a mistake again, so he hurriedly explained: "No, no, you think too much, how could this be beaten by Madame?" Madame had always been dignified and generous, and in order to maintain her friendly image, how could she do such a thing? You really think about it, that's what I fell myself. ”

"I don't believe it! Don't you try to lie to me! It must be that she saw that your mother had fallen out of favor, so she wanted to take the opportunity to suppress you and bully you, her daughter couldn't stand this anger, and her daughter wanted to tell her father about it! Get justice for your mother! Li Xiaotong's eyes were red and he said angrily.

Hearing her say this, Jiang Shi was even more worried about her, "You are not allowed to go out and make trouble!" You're still grounded, and if you go out to make trouble, your father will be unhappy, and then you won't have a good life for the two of us. ”

Li Xiaotong's face was full of reluctance: "Then do you want your mother to suffer this grievance in vain?" The daughter can't stand it, even if she is scolded by her father, the daughter has to get justice for her mother. ”

"What kind of justice is it for, you ask them if this is the lady's beating?" Jiang Shi looked at the maid on the side and said.

The maids hurriedly spoke: "Yes, Miss, this is really not Madame's beating, you don't want to wronged Madame, if you go to Madame to reason, it will really not be good for you and the third aunt." ”

"They are all the ones who picked you up, mother, what you don't want to say, they will definitely not say, if you don't tell me the truth, I'll go to Madame to reason now." Li Xiaotong insisted.

When it came to this, Li Xiaotong still refused to believe it, and Jiang had no choice but to wave his hand and let the subordinates retreat, so that she could tell the truth.

"Xiaotong, the slap on my mother's face was made by my mother herself, don't misunderstand."

"How is that possible? Mother, why do you want to beat yourself for no reason? Li Xiaotong was puzzled.

"In short, the mother made a mistake, the mother herself made amends, you don't want to make trouble now, make Mrs. unhappy, in a few days Mrs. will lift your grounding, take you to participate in the palace banquet of Concubine Xian, at this critical juncture, you must not make any mistakes, otherwise you will give Mrs. the opportunity not to take you forward, that is a matter of your lifelong happiness! Be careful! Jiang Shi carefully admonished.

A distressed look appeared in Li Xiaotong's eyes, and she asked, "Mother, are you so wronged for me and beat yourself?" ”

Jiang nodded: "Mother only hopes that you can live well, you must not live up to your mother's hard work." ”

Li Xiaotong nodded heavily: "Yes, mother, I remember, I won't reason with my wife, when my daughter finds a good family with money and power, my daughter will support you at that time, and see who dares to bully you!" ”

Hearing her say this, Jiang Shi was very pleased, "My Xiaotong has grown up and is sensible, and she is really a good daughter of her mother." ”

Li Xiaotong smiled, but there was a trace of ruthlessness hidden in the depths of her eyes, the humiliation of their family living on her mother today, she would definitely get it back for her mother in the future!

"Then mother, you have a good rest first, and your daughter will go back to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting first, and her daughter will definitely strive to be in the limelight at the palace banquet and raise her eyebrows for her mother!" Li Xiaotong said firmly.

Jiang nodded, and watched her leave with a soft gaze, she could become sensible, and she would be much more relieved.

After Li Xiaotong went out, she pulled Jiang's maid to ask about today's situation, and after listening, she didn't feel that she was wrong with her mother at all, and even blamed Lin Yue and Mrs. Lin Yue, with hatred in her eyes.

The maid saw her expression and hurriedly reminded: "Miss, don't mess around!" My aunt has vouched for you, and if you get into trouble in the palace, my aunt will be punished with you."

"I see, I'm measured." Li Xiaotong left after speaking.

In the courtyard of the eldest lady, as soon as Ruan came back, Li Wanyan entered her house, "Mother, you are back, is she okay with the fourth sister?" ”

Ruan Shi shook his head and said, "She's okay, fortunately I arrived in time, otherwise I'm afraid I would have to suffer." ”

"The fourth sister is our person, the third aunt bullied her like this, she simply doesn't take you seriously, her father doesn't love her now, why is she still so arrogant?" Li Wanyan said indignantly.

Ruan Shi waved his hand to make everyone retreat, and then said, "What if she is arrogant? Today, if she doesn't still obediently bow down, her daughter's lifelong happiness is in my hands, if she doesn't want to harm her daughter, it's best to give me a share of An'an. ”

Hearing this, Li Wanyan was surprised: "Mother, are you planning to take Li Xiaotong there?" She is all in the period of confinement, if the mother does not want to take her, you can not take her, you take her, in case she finds a good man, then the third aunt will have to be powerful and ride on the mother's head. ”

Ruan's lips hooked, his face was careless, and his eyes were contemptuous: "Just like Li Xiaotong, what are you talking about, no big or small, which son-in-law will take a fancy to her?" But any man who has vision and is good enough must like our family Wanyan, not to mention that you are going to marry the supreme son of heaven, who can she find to compare to the son of heaven? ”
