Chapter 116: The Leader
Li Yao left the house without permission, but she couldn't escape Mrs. Li's pass, and she was punished and locked in the boudoir for half a month and was not allowed to go out.
Rao is question how everyone forced him, Li Yao finally refused to say where he went that day, and only said that he was walking on the street and lost his mind, so he met the son of the Sheng family.
After Mrs. Li heard that she had passed away from the Bai family, her whole personality had changed, and she didn't dare to use force at the moment, so she ordered a few rough mothers-in-law to stay in her room, and asked Li Rui to ask a doctor for her.
This time, Li Yao was surprisingly quiet, cooperating with the imperial doctor's consultation, and even taking medicine was very well-behaved and obedient.
Zhao was very happy in his eyes, and after a few days, he saw Li Yao practicing calligraphy in the room calmly, so he went to Hua'an Hall in person and begged the old lady to remove the caretaker in the house.
When Mrs. Li saw that Zhao was pregnant and begged to come to her, she couldn't refute Zhao's face in public, so she had to acquiesce.
"You've worked hard these days...... You are still pregnant, and you have to worry about a pair of younger siblings, if you are too busy, ask your aunt to share some of it, but you can't hurt your body. ”
Mrs. Li asked someone to bring Zhao a few plates of snacks and a bowl of goat's milk.
As soon as Zhao smelled the fishy smell of goat's milk, his chest was a little stuffy, and he stroked his heart and turned his face away.
Seeing that she was so badly happy, Mrs. Li hurriedly asked the maid to bring the goat's milk down, and said:
"How good is this, you are pregnant, you have lost a lot of weight, and you have to worry about things inside and outside here......"
Zhao slowed down before he said:
"Grandmother, it's okay...... The imperial doctor often came to ask for a pulse, saying that the granddaughter-in-law's fetus was very good......"
"I heard my aunt say that when she was pregnant with me, she was also very happy, but I was born with a weight of seven pounds......"
Old Madam Li smiled and said twice that it would be good, and told the Zhao family not to work too hard.
Before the two of them were talking, Mrs. Li and Showa came in together to greet Mrs. Li.
Old Madam Li stared at Showa's already slightly pregnant belly, her eyebrows and eyes relaxed, and she hurriedly stopped the two and told them to sit down.
Zhao wanted to get up and salute Showa, but was stopped by Mrs. Li.
"You are all pregnant, so there is no need to talk about these false rituals......"
Showa smiled and agreed, and asked Zhao's body a few more times, and then said to Mrs. Li:
"Mother, the eldest sister's health is not very good, and she still needs to be raised for a while, Yuanzhen is pregnant like me, and the daughter-in-law has discussed with her husband, and wants to put the matter of the family in the hands of Ah Luan for the time being, does my mother think it is good?"
When Mrs. Li heard this, she was stunned for a moment and said:
"Saburo agreed?"
"Speaking of which, Sister Wei is also fourteen years old this year...... It's also time to learn how to be in charge......"
Showa smiled:
"This matter was originally mentioned to me by my husband, and my mother also knew that I was lazy, and in the future, Ah Luan would marry, and the matter of the family would have to fall on Yuan Zhen."
"For now, ask Ah Luan to hold it first, and then take over when Yuanzhen gives birth to a child......"
A hint of surprise flashed in Mrs. Li's eyes, and she heard Zhao refuse:
"You can't make it ...... Yuanzhen thanks her aunt for her love, but how can I, a concubine, bear such a heavy responsibility? ”
Mrs. Li knew that the Zhao family was because of the Bai family's affairs, and she was jealous, so she said:
"Sister-in-law, don't push the humility, since you married into the Li family and are the mother of the second house, how can you show yourself and talk about things again?"
"Besides, I can't write two Li characters with one stroke...... We haven't separated from each other, so my sister-in-law can't be lazy......"
Zhao's words to Li Taiwei were both touching and funny, and he laughed out loud with red eyes.
Mrs. Li was very emotional:
"Your mother-in-law has a demonic obstacle in her heart, this matter has nothing to do with you children, and your third uncle and third aunt will not snub your second room because of this...... You put your heart in your belly, take good care of your body, and add a few more brothers and sisters to the second room......"
Zhao blushed and nodded.
Old Madam Li looked at Mrs. Li again, and she was in trouble in her heart, and said:
"You monkey, you have never been able to bear it, now you have to learn to be in charge, you have to be careful! Tomorrow I will get up in my room, and my grandmother will teach you by herself. ”
Li Taiwei looked at Zhao and stopped, and said:
"The fourth sister is the same age as me, so my grandmother might as well call the fourth sister to come and learn to be in charge with me......"
Zhao glanced at Mrs. Li gratefully, and begged Mrs. Li:
"Grandmother...... My sister-in-law suddenly lost her mother's protection, and I, as a sister-in-law, am unable to do many things, and I hope my grandmother will pay more attention to teaching ......"
Old Madam Li thought that Zhao's words were reasonable, so she nodded and said:
"Let's call her tomorrow, but there's one ...... The curfew still has to be guarded! Except for coming to Hua'an Hall, she can only stay in her own room, and she is not allowed to step out of the door for half a step! ”
Zhao nodded hurriedly yes.
Coming out of Hua'an Hall, Zhao went straight to Li Yao's courtyard and saw Li Yao staring at a lush jujube tree in the courtyard in the corner.
"Sister-in-law...... What are you looking at? ”
Zhao called softly.
Li Yao was taken aback, and said with a white face:
"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."
Zhao stepped forward and took her hand, and said happily:
"Grandmother told you to go to Hua'an Hall tomorrow and learn to be in charge of the house with your third sister......."
Li Yao raised his eyes suddenly, shook off Zhao's hand, and said coldly:
"I don't want to be with her!"
Zhao's eyes showed worry, and said:
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? This matter was personally begged for you by your third sister......"
Li Yao looked at Zhao coldly:
"Why do I have to be manipulated by her?"
"I begged her to speak softly to my grandmother on my behalf, and to allow my mother's coffin to enter...... But she watched coldly and humiliated my mother for her own self-inflicted ...... Why should I listen to her? ”
Zhao Shi looked at Li Yao and said softly:
"Sister-in-law...... This matter has nothing to do with your third sister, it is wrong in our second room, how can you ......? ”
"Shut up!"
Li Yao suddenly shouted:
"How dare you accuse my mother? It's a shame that my mother treats you like a daughter, and you are a concubine who doesn't know what to do, and gives birth to such a mind to eat inside and out......."
"Presumptuous!"
There was an angry shout outside the door, and the startled Li Yao instantly turned pale.
Before Li Rui had time to change out of his official robe, he stepped forward and slapped Li Yao loudly, pointed at her and reprimanded:
"That's how you usually talk to your sister-in-law?"
"The mother you respect in your heart taught you to look like you don't distinguish between right and wrong, and you don't have any respect for your elders?"
Seeing that Li Ruizhen was angry, Zhao couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Li Rui's sleeve and dragged him out of the courtyard.
Li Rui was furious, holding Zhao with one hand, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out:
"Li Yao! Look at the way you look now, where is there still half of the appearance of being knowledgeable in the past! ”
Li Pu was passing by outside and heard the noise in the courtyard, hurriedly rushed in, and when he saw Li Yao's red and swollen half of his face, he immediately yelled at Li Rui:
"You have something to say to her! What do you do? ”
Li Rui sneered:
"If I don't beat her, will she come to her senses!"
"When she and your sister-in-law do it, you should slap her for your brother!"
"I have no respect for my superiors and leave home without permission...... Look at your sister...... Is she still the former Li Yao! ”
Li Pu listened to Li Rui's harsh words, like a basin of cold water poured on his head, and suddenly fell silent.
"I'll ......"
Li Yao covered her red and swollen side face, staring coldly at Zhao and Li Rui,
"I will go to Hua'an Hall tomorrow and learn from my grandmother how to run the house......"
