Chapter 173: Inquiry

Ruan Shi paused when he said this, and his eyes were aimed at Li Qingyi.

Li Qingyi suddenly pricked up his ears, "Is there really something I don't know?"

Ruan Shi looked at her in surprise, "It's not that anyone intends to hide it from you, it's just that you are a junior, and you definitely don't have the reason to stare at your father's mistakes, after all, it's not a good thing, who will take the initiative to mention it to you?" Your grandmother must know more than I do, and she hasn't said a word?"

Li Qingyi hurriedly said, "I know this, the second aunt knows anything, just tell me."

"Actually, there's nothing you can't say, it's just that you haven't asked about these things before."

Ruan Shi paused and said, "After I married into the Li family, your father has been sick in bed and does not leave the yard, I have never even seen him, there are not many people who can see him, and the subordinates who serve him around him are not counted, except for your grandparents and your second uncle, who are the county lords."

"Did she really take care of my dad herself?"

Ruan Shi nodded, "After your father was injured, the county lord didn't cry and grab the ground, you know...... It is impossible for you, a mother, to show that kind of side in front of others."

Li Qingyi also admitted this, "That's right."

"She usually deals with trivial matters, although the means are rusty, but it can be seen that she is very attentive to learning. Maybe it's because of her identity, the whole house respects and fears her, and your grandmother rarely asks her to talk, of course, it's not that your grandmother doesn't like her, but the county lord, some don't get along with people, always have a cold face, and use toughness to disguise themselves, in fact, I think she is not bad, otherwise, when she said to take you to the capital, I wouldn't have agreed, right?"

"In other words, when she was in the Li family, she was a good wife and daughter-in-law?"

Ruan Shi nodded, "I heard that she was busy with the affairs of the house every day, and she had to go to massage the acupuncture points of your father, and then I became familiar with the things in the house, so she immediately handed over the matter to me, and devoted herself to your father's recovery, as for how she took care of your father, I am a bride, and it is not easy to ask the eldest brother and sister-in-law about the house...... You don't know your second uncle, and if I don't ask, he won't say much. Besides, I don't think he knows much about the county lord's private relationship with your father."

Li Qingyi's heart trembled, "What happened later?"

"Your father suffered this catastrophe at a young age, and suffered a great blow, but fortunately, there are still you, and when the county lord is busy during the day, he let the nurse hold you and stay by your father's side, presumably because he is afraid that your father will be disheartened and have no thoughts, which shows his intentions. If you want me to say, the county lord may not have no feelings for your father, even if she later throws you away and remarries, she can't wipe out all her benefits, didn't your grandmother never say a word about the county lord?"

Li Qingyi frowned when he heard this: "When did the county lord leave the Li family?"

Nguyen said, "After your father's leg became a little conscious, the county lord was very happy and went to the Grand Pudu Temple to make a vow, and then there were bad rumors outside......

Li Qingyi interrupted her, "What rumors, can the second aunt be specific?"

Ruan Shi glanced at her, feeling that it was not good to tell her about this matter, but seeing that her niece was asking so urgently, there must be something critical, and she pondered: "It was when the county lord went to the Grand Pudu Temple, someone saw that she had contact with a man, a married woman, and a foreign man, which inevitably made people think about it, plus your father's affairs were already concerned and passed around, so it became the county lord stealing people behind your father's back......

Li Qingyi only felt that his heart was surging: "After that, the county lord will be sick?"

"The three of them become tigers, they can say things that they don't have as if they saw it with their own eyes, the county lord has such a fiery temperament, and he can't clarify after suffering such a dumb loss, can he not get sick? If I were to be half, too. Then, the Queen Mother should have known about this, probably because she couldn't see the county lord being wronged, so she immediately came to pick her up, and her attitude was very tough."

Li Qingyi asked, "How did the Queen Mother tell her grandmother when she came to pick up people?" Although the county lord is the most noble, he is the daughter-in-law of the Li family after all."

Ruan shook his head, "I don't know about this, the people who came only talked to your grandmother, and no one else was there."

"So, the second aunt doesn't know if my father died before the county lord left, or after he left

of?"

Ruan Shi was stunned, "What are these words?"

Li Qingyi asked a different question: "After the county lord fell ill, the queen mother took her away, and then the news of my father's death broke out?"

Nguyen nodded.

"Does the second aunt know how my father died?"

"I don't know, the palace announced that your father died of a violent illness, and I just glanced at your father from a distance when he stopped the spirit. Your father's death is a sore spot for everyone in the Li family, and I have only been married in for a long time, how dare I ask more? Later, your grandmother took you into her own house and raised you, and she would not let anyone talk to you about these things."

Li Qingyi frowned, "It seems that I can only ask the second uncle about this matter."

Ruan Shi noticed something wrong, but he didn't rush to ask, and said, "Your second uncle can't go back to the house until he gets off duty at night, so let's go back to the courtyard and settle down first."

The two of them walked towards Qinghuai Courtyard and talked while Li Qingyi asked Wei Jin'er, "Is she still safe here?"

"Maybe it's because I'm not sure, and there's no one around me who can speak, so I just keep guarding that girl."

"Frost hasn't woken up yet?"

"No, the injury is so bad, I don't know if I have a life, how can I wake up so quickly."

Li Qingyi chuckled, "I thought Wei Jin'er thought she was a person from heaven, but I didn't expect her to be able to care for her own girl."

Ruan Shi smiled, "Don't you think Wei Jin'er is just like your mother? The eyes are above the top, the heart is arrogant, and he hates others who are stronger than himself, but he still has a bottom line. It's not like some people who don't care about anything when it's bad."

Li Qingyi knew that she was talking about the Lin family's mother and daughter, but instead of answering, she asked, "Who does the second aunt think I look like?"

"I don't know much about your father, I don't know how similar you are to him, but you have a stubbornness in your bones, but you are very similar to the county lord."

Ruan Shi looked at her and quipped: "You grew up under my nose, I know you best, but, you little girl grew up in the pile of blessings since she was a child, she has not encountered any storms, she looks soft, and I was worried that you would be easy to be manipulated by your in-laws after you got married." But who would have thought that when the county lord came to Yangzhou, you suddenly became like a hedgehog, and you were pricked all over your body. Presumably, I don't need to worry too much, there are many things, and I have to discuss with you to make up my mind."

Li Qingyi was thoughtful when he heard this.

She remembered what the county lord of Yuanheng had told her last night.

I know that you are doing well in the Li family, but I think you are doing too well.

There is no way to face the storm when things happen in the future.

How many times have I wanted to bring you to my side, but think about it, there is nothing wrong with enjoying a little more when you are young......

Isn't this the same mentality as the second aunt?

Parents have far-reaching plans.

The county lord of Yuanheng is afraid that he will be like her, he will be too carefree when he is young, and he will suffer a big loss in the future.

Li Qingyi felt tight, dizzy, and confused, and when he arrived at Qinghuai Courtyard, he wanted to get into the bed and sleep.

When Li Miaoran and Li Yuanzhi heard that she was back, they went to Qinghuai Courtyard like rabbits, and they were also carried out by Ruan alone with one ear.

Li Qingyi shrank in the brocade, thinking carefully about what happened after he arrived at the Wei family in his previous life.

As the second aunt said, she grew up in a pile of blessings, she has never seen people's hearts sinister, filthy, and has been pitted by Wei Baozhu and Wei Laner several times in succession, her reaction is not to resist, but to seek the help of the county lord of Yuanheng.

She is her mother, shouldn't she be sheltered from the elements?

But the county lord of Yuanheng ignored it, and even reprimanded her, saying that she was a useless thing.

Several girls in the Wei Mansion saw that the county lord of Yuanheng didn't care about her, and their envy and jealousy for her were all turned into bullying. She felt that she was alone, so she gritted her teeth and endured it, desperately hiding, and tried her best to leave the Wei Mansion.

The more she was like this, the worse the county lord's attitude towards her became, and the Wei family's bullying of her intensified, almost falling into a vicious circle.

Later, Wei Jin'er said that she hated her and didn't want to see her, so the county lord of Yuanheng sent her

The family temple.

Thinking about it now, they sang and sent her away, looking at it from another angle, it actually saved her from being bullied by the Wei family again, right?

What is the mother-daughter mentality towards her?
