She loses if she divorces, the reborn mistress only divorces her husband
Chapter 121: How to return to the city, deliberately blocking
Bai Yiyi was so angry that she clenched her teeth, her face flushed, and she was very angry before she finished talking halfway.
"Miss, calm down." Li Jingwan hastened to comfort her, "It's over now. If you get angry again, you'll fall into their trap."
Bai Yiyi looked at her, feeling aggrieved. She pouted and spoke in a crying tone.
"My father didn't listen to my explanation at all. He said I was vicious. After hearing what Chen said, he immediately drove me to the farm and even forbade me to attend my grandmother's birthday party. My grandmother always protected me, but this time she didn't care about me."
"After my mother passed away, only my grandmother treated me the best, but she also..." Bai Yiyi finally burst into tears.
"My mother left, and they all bullied me... Not only did they not allow me to bring maids, they even forbade me to give me things my mother gave me..."
"When I got on the carriage, Bai Li...Bai Lixuan also said that I could never go back and that everything in the Bai family, including my mother's dowry, was hers..."
When she arrived at the farm, Bai Yiyi had a sullen and angry face every day. Today, when she met Li Jingwan, she finally couldn't help but reveal her true feelings.
"If my mother were still alive, I wouldn't want anything. I would rather be a beggar..."
Li Jingwan felt sad for her. She had a deep relationship with the Yao mother and daughter, and could understand Bai Yiyi's grievances better.
As the saying goes, it is better to have a beggar mother than an official father. Children without the protection of their mothers are indeed miserable.
Bai Yiyi lay on the table and cried. Li Jingwan patted her back gently, allowing her to vent out the grievances and dissatisfaction she had experienced during this period.
Judging from her brief contact with Bai Yiyi, Bai Yiyi is not a bad person and her mind is even pure.
But she had an impatient temper and was deliberately instigated by Chen's mother and daughter. Outsiders saw her as uneducated, disrespectful to her stepmother and bullying her younger sister.
In addition, her father probably didn't care much about her, so Bai Yiyi's situation became increasingly sad. Even her grandmother who loved her was disappointed in her.
Bai Yiyi cried for a while, and finally stopped crying and was willing to sit up.
She wiped them with a handkerchief, revealing a pair of red eyes from crying, and sobbed, "Xiao Wan...what...what do you have...what can you do?"
Li Jingwan grasped a point in her words, "Miss, has Mrs. Bai's birthday banquet been over?"
"No...no..." Bai Yiyi sniffed, "The twelfth of next month is grandma's birthday."
"That's still half a month." Li Jingwan thought for a moment and said, "Since you said that Old Lady Bai treats you best, then we can use Old Lady Bai's birthday as a breakthrough point."
"But my grandmother doesn't like me anymore..." Bai Yiyi whispered, "This time when I was driven away, she didn't speak for me and was very disappointed..."
"That's because Madam Bai was temporarily deceived by Chen's mother and daughter, but she didn't completely ignore you." Li Jingwan analyzed.
"I just came to look for you. I heard from the people in the manor that Butler Bai was originally in Tacheng to manage the Bai family's store, but after you were driven here, he also came."
"In my opinion, this should be arranged by Old Madam Bai, who specially asked Butler Bai to come and take care of you."
"Really...really?" Bai Yiyi was a little surprised.
"Yes." Li Jingwan nodded gently, "Do you think Butler Bai treats you well?"
Bai Yiyi thought about it carefully and felt that what Li Jingwan said made sense.
She was driven to the farm, and she was in a bad mood every day and was dissatisfied with everything, but Butler Bai always tried to persuade her with kind words, tried to prepare delicious food for her, and even arranged to choose a personal maid for her.
"Uncle Bai is an elder in the Bai family. I heard that he grew up with my grandfather." Bai Yiyi's eyes lit up as she spoke, "Xiao Wan, grandma still loves me, right?"
"Yeah." Li Jingwan nodded and tidied up her hair which was messed up from crying.
"Miss, although Madam Bai didn't speak for you at the time, she felt sorry for you, so she sent Butler Bai here. This also shows that she still has expectations for you."
"So, you have to behave better and let her know that you have become a better person. Then it will be easier for you to return to Tacheng."
Bai Yiyi was not happy, "What do you mean I've become a good person? I'm not a bad person. The evil ones are obviously the Chen mother and daughter."
"Miss, not everyone in this world is clear-headed. On the contrary, many people are easily deceived and misled. When you lose power, you should not explain yourself, but prove yourself with practical actions."
"It's better to do it once than to say it a thousand times."
Bai Yiyi seemed to understand what she heard, and subconsciously felt that Li Jingwan could help her, "Xiaowan, what should I do?"
Seeing that she was listening, Li Jingwan felt comforted. She was afraid that Bai Yiyi would get stuck in a dead end and she would have to waste more effort.
She held up two fingers. "Two things."
"First, you need to control your temper and don't get angry easily." Li Jingwan speculated, "Butler Bai is here to take care of you, but he is also probably observing your behavior and performance and reporting to Madam Bai."
Li Jingwan first made a promise to encourage her, "Miss, when one day you are no longer emotionally disturbed by anything the Chen mother and daughter say, you will find that their tricks are ridiculous."
Bai Yiyi was indeed touched by her words, "Then I won't lose my temper easily in the future, Xiaowan, you have to remind me."
"Okay." Li Jingwan nodded.
"What is the second thing?" Bai Yiyi asked quickly.
"It's just what I said just now. You should use Madam Bai's birthday as an opportunity. You should prepare a thoughtful gift for her and have someone send it back to Tacheng."
"When Madam Bai sees you, she knows your filial piety and that you have changed a lot. She will definitely let you go back."
"What can there be in such a shabby place?" It was a good idea, but Bai Yiyi was embarrassed.
"The things my mother left me are all in the mansion. I brought some banknotes with me, but even if I had money here, I would have nowhere to spend it."
Li Jingwan smiled and said, "Miss, a gift is not about how expensive it is, but about the thought behind it. Old Madam Bai is well-informed and has a lot of good things. If you can make a gift for her yourself, she will definitely be happier."
"Then what can I do?" Bai Yiyi pouted in embarrassment, "I'm not good at needlework, and my reading and writing are average. I'm pretty fast at calculating with an abacus, my mother taught me, but it's no use..."
Li Jingwan had already thought about it for her, "Miss, you can just draw a picture of longevity and write 10,000 characters of the word 'longevity'."
"Ten thousand?" Bai Yiyi exclaimed, "How long will it take to write this?"
She probably hasn't written so many words in her life.
"It won't take long. If I write slowly, it will only take three days at most." Li Jingwan said, "I have inquired and found out that the farm will send people to Tacheng every ten days to deliver things to the Bai Mansion and buy some things to bring back."
"They will leave in three days, so you must finish writing before they leave and let them take the longevity painting back to the old lady. If the old lady is moved by your sincerity, she will definitely let you return to Tacheng, and then you can catch up with the birthday banquet."
"The old lady's birthday is less than half a month away, Miss, we must seize this opportunity. Otherwise, if you, as the eldest granddaughter, don't attend the old lady's birthday banquet, what will outsiders think?"
Seeing that Bai Yiyi's expression was becoming more relaxed due to her words, Li Jingwan decided to add fuel to the fire.
"Miss, when you are away, Chen's mother and daughter will definitely slander you even more. So, the sooner you return to the city, the less they will succeed."
"Okay, I'll write it!" Bai Yiyi ignited a burning fighting spirit and pounded her right fist on the table.
"I must write 10,000 characters for 'longevity' within three days!"
-
The nights in the northwest were very cold. After Li Jingwan opened the window with her clothes on, she shivered immediately and quickly grabbed the sides of her clothes.
Although she was very tired from what she had experienced in the past two days, she was worried and couldn't fall asleep.
Seeing the moonlight shining through the window gap, I simply got up to admire the moon.
Although she became Bai Yiyi's personal maid, Bai Yiyi said that she sprained her foot and did not need her to keep watch at night, and asked Butler Bai to arrange a separate bedroom for her to rest.
The moon was like a jade plate, hanging in the sky, but the soft moonlight could not calm Li Jingwan's anxiety.
After dinner, she asked the people in the farm and found out that it was a day and a half's carriage ride from here to Tacheng, and it was actually closer to the Western Rong Kingdom.
There are not many horses on the farm and they are managed by special people, so it is difficult to steal a horse and ride it back.
Now it seems that she can only wait until Old Madam Bai receives the birthday gift and lets Bai Yiyi go back, then she can take the opportunity to leave.
Li Jingwan prayed to the bright moon, hoping that she could return to Tacheng as soon as possible and find her brother as soon as possible.
At the same time, Chu Tingyu was standing outside the commander's tent, looking up at the silver plate in the sky.
Luva, who came out of the tent, was a little surprised to see him, "My lord, you haven't returned to the tent to rest yet?"
Chu Tingyu had a trace of reminiscence on his face, "I remember that I used to stand guard with Ding Zheng at night, and the moon was also so round and bright."
Luva sighed guiltily, "I feel so ashamed of you, old general."
"Ding Zheng was killed by that bastard Qin Changzhou under my command, and now the county lady is also missing in Tacheng."
"If something happens to the county lady, I will have to cover my face with my hair after I die. I am speechless in front of the old general."
Luva, a seven-foot-tall man, was choked up after saying these words.
A few days ago, Chu Tingyu came to the Northwest Camp and told him the truth about Li Dingzheng's death. He was so angry that he chopped the coffee table with a knife on the spot.
I had originally planned to visit Li Jingwan in person a few days later, but I never expected that Li Jingwan was kidnapped by criminals and her whereabouts are unknown.
If the border situation had not been so tense, he would have led his troops to turn the northwest border upside down to find Li Jingwan.
He was unable to repay Li Beiwang's kindness and support, but he was unable to protect his two children.
"General Lu, you don't have to blame yourself." Chu Tingyu patted his shoulder, "I believe that Princess Le Yi will be fine."
"I will find her."
Luva nodded and couldn't help but spit. "Those Xirong bastards don't dare to attack openly, but only dare to attack secretly. If you have the guts, come out and let me beat them up."
If these things hadn't been dragging on, he could have sent some people to look for Li Jingwan first.
Chu Tingyu said, "The Western Rong Kingdom knows that most of our troops are stationed in Tacheng and its surrounding areas, so they are causing trouble on the border far away from Tacheng, hoping to disperse our troops."
"Yeqilu is such a cunning and sinister bastard." Lufa was so angry that his teeth itched. "He found and killed a spy who finally got into the Xirong Palace. Now we have no idea where they are going."
"As long as we are well prepared and united, we will not be afraid of Xirong." Chu Tingyu's eyes deepened, "This time, we must beat Xirong until he has no power to fight back."
-
Early the next morning, Li Jingwan woke up Bai Yiyi, and after breakfast, she went to the only study room in the manor with her.
Li Jingwan found paper and pen and began to grind ink. "Miss, please practice writing the word 'Shou' first. When you are more comfortable with it, you can write it on the brocade."
"Butler Bai said that there is only this piece of brocade on the farm. If you write the wrong words on it, it will be gone."
Bai Yiyi picked up the brush with her right hand, pinched the brush head with her left hand and gently rubbed it, "Xiao Wan, I get nervous when you say that."
"Miss, practice makes perfect. As long as you practice well, I guarantee you won't make mistakes." Li Jingwan said with a smile.
"But if I want to write 10,000 characters for longevity, will the brocade cloth be able to stretch out? What if I write them crookedly?"
"Don't worry, when you practice calligraphy later, I will mark the area on the brocade to ensure that the shape and order of the characters are correct."
"That's good." Bai Yiyi felt relieved and felt even more like she had found a treasure.
"Xiao Wan, when I bring you back to Tacheng, I will ask my grandmother to promote you to a first-class maid in the mansion and increase your monthly salary. I will also give you a set of headgear when the time comes. It will be very beautiful."
Li Jingwan nodded, "Then I would like to thank you, young lady."
Under Li Jingwan's guidance, Bai Yiyi practiced calligraphy for an hour and was finally able to write the very beautiful character "Shou" in small regular script.
Although her wrist was a little tired, she did not dare to rest for too long as she had to finish the Longevity Painting within three days, and immediately began to write on the brocade.
Li Jingwan watched from the side, helped her refill the tea, and then quietly walked out.
Since Bai Yiyi is showing her filial piety to Old Madam Bai, she naturally cannot do it quietly.
She stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited until Butler Bai appeared. Then she quickly stepped forward to stop him and said timidly, "Butler Bai."
Butler Bai stopped and said, "Xiao Wan, what's the matter?"
"Butler Bai, is there any ointment on the farm? I want to get some for the young lady."
"Miss, what happened?" Butler Bai asked quickly, "Are you injured?"
"No." Li Jingwan shook her head, then nodded, "Probably a little."
Butler Bai was a little anxious. "What's going on? Aren't you a smart girl?"
"Butler Bai, the young lady is not injured, but I am worried that her wrist hurts, so I want to ask you for some ointment and apply it to her later."
"Miss, your wrist hurts?" Butler Bai was even more confused. "Where is the young lady?"
"In the study." Li Jingwan took him in and continued to explain.
"The young lady said she wanted to write a longevity picture for the old lady as a birthday gift. She started writing as soon as she got up this morning and has not stopped to rest until now. If she really wrote 10,000 longevity characters in a row, her wrists would definitely be sore."
"Longevity picture?" Butler Bai paused.
"Yeah." Li Jingwan nodded, pretending not to understand.
"I heard from the young lady that she wanted to write 10,000 characters for longevity to express her wish for the old lady to live as long as the Southern Mountains, so she asked me to find the brocade cloth last night."
"By the way, Butler Bai, we have to go in quietly. The young lady said that when she was writing the longevity painting, she would pray for the old lady in her heart and asked me not to disturb her."
Butler Bai's face was filled with a mixture of shock and confusion, and he walked into the yard with light steps.
