Chapter 053: The Farmer and the Snake
The doctor soon arrived.
Although Li's collision left room for it, she still used ruthless force, and the doctor said that she had blood stasis in her brain, and she had to stay in bed to recuperate.
"Mother, mother......" At this time, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door, and then Xiao Ximing ran in with an anxious face.
Seeing Xiao Ximing, a trace of gloom flashed in the old lady's eyes, and she coldly glanced at Xiao Xile, who was standing next to her with her head hanging down.
Li just had an accident, and the kid Ming'er suddenly rushed back, this must have been someone who brought a letter to him, this person doesn't have to think about it to know who it is.
"Ming'er, you don't have a good class in the school, what are you doing when you come back?" The old lady said.
Although the old lady hated the Li family, he still cherished Xiao Ximing from the Li family.
"Grandmother, what's wrong with my mother?" Xiao Ximing looked at the white veil wrapped around Li's forehead on the bed, his face was as pale as paper, and he was anxious at the moment.
The old lady pursed her lips and looked at Xiao Ximing without snorting.
"Fifth brother, father...... The father said that he was going to divorce his mother, but his mother couldn't accept it for a while...... Looking for a short-term ......," Xiao Xile said to Xiao Ximing with red eyes.
The emperor has already assigned her to the fourth prince, she is about to marry into the royal family, at this time she must not have a biological mother who has been abandoned by the Houfu, she is not allowed!
"Grandmother, is it true? Daddy, he's really going to divorce my mother? Xiao Ximing's tears flowed out at once.
The old lady glanced at Xiao Xile angrily.
Xiao Ximing has been diligent and clever since he was a child, so he was sent to the Guozijian when he was six years old, and he has always been praised by his master. However, Xiao Xile didn't think about him at all, just thinking that he couldn't be dragged down by the Li family's abandonment, and he was bent on pulling him into the battle of the back house. If Xiao Ximing is jealous of Yan'er because of this, maybe he will have some disagreements with Houfu.
Seeing that the old lady was silent for a long time, Xiao Ximing hurriedly moved his gaze to Xiao Xiwei on the side, "Second sister, is Daddy really going to divorce my mother?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Xiwei watched Xiao Ximing calmly spit out a word.
"Don't ...... I don't want my mother to be divorced, I'll go to my father. Xiao Ximing wiped a handful of tears vigorously, turned around and was about to run out.
"Stop!" Xiao Xiwei stared at Xiao Ximing's back and coldly spit out two words.
"Second sister......" Xiao Ximing looked at Xiao Xiwei sadly with red eyes.
Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and his beautiful face was a little cold, "Do you know why Daddy divorced your mother?" Everything happens for a reason. ”
"That'...... Is that my mother doing something wrong? But...... But the second sister, she ...... She's my mother! Xiao Ximing sniffed and said.
"Ming'er, what are you studying hard and gaining fame for?" Xiao Xiwei walked up to Xiao Ximing, raised his hand and touched his head, and his face gradually softened.
"For the sake of the journey, of course."
"And then?"
"And then ......"
"Do you want to be a good official who asks for his life for honesty and honesty or ......?"
"Of course you have to be a good official!"
"If your loved one makes a mistake, are you trying to shield her? Or do you want to punish her according to the law? Xiao Xiwei looked at Xiao Ximing, his eyes were cold and quiet.
Xiao Ximing looked at Xiao Xiwei's eyes and fell silent.
After a long time, Xiao Ximing slowly lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and said in a low voice, "Second sister, I know." I...... I didn't tell the Master when I came out, I ...... So I went back. ”
"Fifth brother, you, what are you talking about! You, don't you care about your mother? Xiao Xile was anxious.
She didn't expect Xiao Xi's slightly fluttering words to make Xiao Ximing retreat! This Xiao Xiwei, what kind of ecstasy soup did she pour into Ming'er!
"Third sister...... The Master said that if you do something wrong, you will have to bear the consequences, and I ...... I ......," Xiao Ximing said, and hung his head sadly.
Although he knew this truth, he was still sad to look at his mother who was lying on the bed and dying.
"Nonsense! How can you ignore your mother just because outsiders say a few words! You're still not my brother! Xiao Xile shouted uncontrollably.
"You're talking nonsense!" The old lady slapped the table, and her cruel gaze swept towards Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xile was frightened and hurriedly lowered his head.
"Xiwei is his sister-in-law, why did she become an outsider in your mouth? Put away your little thoughts, don't let me know that you are secretly instigating Ming'er, you don't care about your own brother, I still feel sorry for my grandson! The old lady glared at Xiao Xile and said.
Xiao Xile was scolded by the old lady, and he shrunk his neck at the moment and didn't dare to hum anymore.
"Grandmother, don't be angry with your third sister. It's me who is wrong, I shouldn't have sneaked back, I ...... I'll go back now, don't be angry. Xiao Ximing pulled the corner of the old lady's clothes and said in a low voice.
Seeing that Xiao Ximing was so sensible at such a young age, the old lady's heart also softened, "Good boy, it's really difficult for you." ”
What a child! It's a pity, how can such a mother and sister be put on the stall!
"Grandmother, although my father has already said that I want to divorce my mother, but now that my mother is injured like this, even if she wants to be sent back to the Li Mansion, she should take care of her injuries. No matter what, she is also the biological mother of Le'er and Ming'er. Xiao Xi said lightly.
The old lady raised her eyes to look at Xiao Xiwei, only to see her looking at Xiao Ximing lightly, and a trace of pity flashed in her cold eyes.
It's rare that she didn't get angry with Ming'er because of the Li family's relationship.
"That's fine." The old lady nodded, slightly relieved in her heart.
Although she hated the Li family, she still had to take care of Xiao Ximing's feelings after all. After all, there are not many men in the waiting house, except for Xiao Xiyang, there is only Xiao Ximing.
"Thank you grandmother, thank you second sister." Hearing that the old lady promised to let the Li family stay in the mansion to recuperate, Xiao Ximing breathed a long sigh of relief.
Xiao Xile secretly raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Xiwei viciously.
This little slut, she shouldn't want to buy Ming'er!
Not long after coming out of the painting brocade garden, Xiao Xiwei was stopped by Zhou Shumei.
"Second Miss, what do you mean?"
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
Zhou Shumei's face sank, "Second Miss, the old man has obviously already sent a message to leave the Li family, why do you still plead with the old lady to let her stay in the mansion to recuperate, in case she ......" Speaking of this, Zhou Shumei paused, and her voice was a little lower, "Didn't the second miss do it and want to hit the Li family with one blow and never be able to get up again!" ”
Xiao Yan's letter of resignation has not yet been written, and Zhou Shumei has already taken a bite of Li's family, it seems that she really can't wait to see Li's sweeping out.
"That's exactly what I thought."
"Why did the second young lady change her mind, did ...... Could it be that the second young lady is trying to win over the fifth young master? Zhou Shumei glanced at Xiao Xiwei, and a sneer appeared in her eyes, "Second Miss, don't forget, the Fifth Young Master is from the Li family after all, blood is thicker than water, Second Miss, don't make a mistake." ”
"If my father is angry, my aunt will believe it?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.
Zhou Shumei stared at Xiao Xiwei with an ugly face and did not speak.
Now that the Zhongyong Houfu is full of flowers, how many people are red-eyed and want to catch the mistakes of the Zhongyong Houfu! Even if Xiao Yan couldn't tolerate the Li family anymore, he couldn't choose to leave her from the Houfu at this time, and when he calmed down, he would naturally reconsider. And she originally wanted to take advantage of her father Xiao Yanzheng's anger to quickly drive the Li family out, and when her father's anger subsided, the raw rice had been cooked and cooked, but it was difficult to regret it. It's just that when she watched the Li family dying, Xiao Xile was only worried that because of the Li family's divorce, it would affect her marriage, and a thought suddenly crossed her heart, if she let the Li family know that she couldn't protect her spoiled daughter at all, what kind of mood would she have?
"Have you heard the story of the farmer and the snake? A farmer relented and saved a frozen snake, but when the snake warmed up, he bit the farmer to death. Zhou Shumei stared at Xiao Xi coldly and said slightly.
Such a great opportunity! She was really unwilling!
"Even if I were the farmer, she would be a snake without fangs." Xiao Xi smiled faintly, "Auntie, have you actually thought that even if the Li family is divorced, will your father definitely help you as a stepmother?" ”
"What do you mean by that, Second Miss?" Zhou Shumei frowned and looked at Xiao Xiwei unhappily.
Xiao Xi smiled faintly, "An aunt's past will naturally not be cared for, but if it is the housewife of Houfu...... Auntie, did you say that? ”
"Isn't my background as good as the Li family?"
"Auntie, don't blame me for speaking badly, the Li family had the support of my grandmother, my cousin, and my father's childhood sweetheart, aunt. What's wrong with my mother? It is true that my aunt's background is not low, but the Zhou family is far away in Pingcheng, although they are rich, they have no outstanding characters. Now that my father is valued by the emperor, the loyal and brave Houfu is even more full of flowers, as soon as the Li family is suspended, the position of the housewife of the Houfu is vacant, how many people are red-eyed, and my aunt thinks, can you win the daughters of these wealthy families in Beijing? ”
Xiao Xiwei's words hit the nail on the head, and Zhou Shumei's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Actually, it's not bad now! After such a fuss, my father obviously hated the Li family, and even if he didn't stop her, he was afraid that he would lock her in the yard and ignore her! A main room who has fallen out of favor and is disgusted by her husband and mother-in-law, what else does her think she can do? Xiao Xiwei looked at Zhou Shumei and said lightly.
Zhou Shumei is not stupid, listening to Xiao Xiwei say this, she naturally understands, although her heart is still panicked, but she really has no other choice.
"The second miss is really magnanimous, the Li family has done such a thing to the second miss, and the second miss can still forgive her." Zhou Shumei looked at Xiao Xiwei, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a meaningful smile.
"Auntie has won the prize." Xiao Xi smiled faintly back, indifferent to Zhou Shumei's sarcasm.
She opened her mouth to keep the Li family, and in the future, if the Li family could not leave her, the old lady and her father would feel guilty about her, otherwise they would become more and more disgusted with the Li family.
Rather than let Li be kicked out like this, she wanted her to see her husband, daughter, and son alienate her, hate her, abandon her, and betray her little by little......
This feeling should be worse than death!
