Li Shuyue muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it?"

Li Qingqian also couldn't stand people mocking the people she cared about, so she took over the conversation: "If you follow what Fourth Sister said, then Father, you have to think about it carefully."

Li Zhengkang was feeling unhappy about Li Shuyue's ridicule of his second son who had a bright future. When he heard her say this, he couldn't help but frown and asked, "What are you thinking, father?"

"Fourth sister said that Ah Qian was able to marry the prince because she was born in an official family. But my brother-in-law was born in a poor family and his life was worthless. Father, think about it. My sister is dissatisfied but can't say it directly. It's true, you can't give preferential treatment to my sister just because we are my mother's children."

Li Qingqian's words, together with Li Zhen's, diverted the disaster away.

This marriage was originally what Li Shuyue wanted, not because Li Zhengkang was partial.

But the two young men in the mansion both have bright futures, and the daughter left by the late madam must marry into a wealthy family. Those who are not aware of the situation will naturally subconsciously think that the parents are partial.

Some people who know the truth will also shamelessly think so.

Liu is this person.

Li Qingqian's biological mother was a thorn in her heart. Shu Yue had used her to mock Li Qingqian in the past, but now she was being used as a weapon to hurt her own daughter.

These words had a different meaning to Li Shuyue's ears.

She waved her hands quickly and said, "No, no, no, my daughter and Jiang Lang are in love with each other, how could it be that father is partial to her? Sister, don't gossip like those women in the market!"

Li Shuyue was afraid that this good marriage would displease her father, and that her parents would ask her to divorce Jiang Lin.

How could Li Xi just sit there and watch when his younger brother and sister were being ridiculed?

"Mutual affection? That fourth sister has really bad taste. She found a man who not only did absurd things before marriage, but also didn't care about you after marriage."

"Who said that!" Li Shuyue was furious, "My husband loves me very much!"

"Then why didn't he accompany you back? Is he so obsessed with fame and fortune that he wasn't even willing to accompany his wife back home?" Li Zhen said indifferently.

Li Qingqian slowly looked across and found that the other person's cheeks had turned liver-colored and the anger in his eyes was becoming more and more intense.

She curled the corners of her mouth slightly.

Can't you bear this, Li Shuyue? But my sister not only wants to avenge you for pushing me off the cliff, but also wants to settle some old scores together.

Li Shuyue looked back and forth between the faces of several people, and then said stubbornly: "My husband will definitely be very successful in the future, so don't be so envious when the time comes!"

The volume of her next sentence was relatively low, so only Li Zhen and Liu, who were sitting on her left and right, could hear it.

But there was one exception, Shen Changyun, who had been paying attention to the situation.

The corners of his mouth curled up to the same angle as Li Qingqian's, and he spoke slowly: "Don't worry, Fourth Aunt, there won't be that moment. When that happens, you should not throw a tantrum like a street shrew."

Li Shuyue was so angry that she almost couldn't help rolling her eyes.

Liu reached out and gently held her hand, telling her to be calm and keep calm.

When lunch was almost over, Liu slowly got up and went out. When she came back, she brought two very pretty girls with her.

Li Qingqian looked up and saw that she knew these two girls. They were the nieces of Liu's brother's concubine.

In the previous life, Liu Chengyin couldn't bear to see that his own nieces' lives became more and more difficult after they were married, while the daughter of Li Zhengkang's first wife became the queen, so he forced these two nieces into Jiang Lin's hands.

But at that time Jiang Lin was only thinking about making Ling Ling happy.

How could Ling Ling, who was already dissatisfied with the fact that Li Qingqian was sitting on the throne of Queen, tolerate these two girls?

So, Jiang Lin accepted most of the wealth offered by the Liu family and pretended to take the two girls into the palace. Then Ling Ling imprisoned them in her own palace and tortured them every day.

Li Qingqian couldn't stand them bullying the two girls like they were bullying her and wanted to rescue them, but Ling Ling shamelessly said to her: "Anyone who tries to interfere with the relationship between me and A Lin should be tortured. If you do this, then the two of them will be tortured too."

But now Liu had no reason to put someone in her daughter and son-in-law's room, so it could only be aimed at herself and Shen Changyun.

Liu smiled and walked forward, took Li Qingqian's hand, pointed at the two girls standing timidly opposite, and said, "This is my niece from my mother's side, about your age. Take a look at her, and if you like her, take her back to the prince."

Before Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun said anything, Li Zhengkang was the first to be unhappy.

"It's only been a few days since A Qian and the prince got married. What are you doing?"

Liu said as a matter of course: "I am planning for Ah Qian. Now that you are married to the prince, you must give him a few concubines in the future, so that people will not accuse you of being jealous."

Li Qingqian curled her lips and nodded as if she suddenly understood something. "So, Madam asked these two cousins ​​to come?"

"Of course. Rather than facing those troublesome people in the future, it's better for me to give you these two obedient ones now. After all, we are relatives, and they will definitely think more about you."

Li Qingqian couldn't help but sneer, "It's said that seven years without a successor is too much. Any man of status in the capital who is over forty and childless must take a concubine. But Changyun is only nineteen this year, and Madam actually thinks so far for Aqian. I think it's because Aqian's biological mother died early, so she has to hurry up and think a little more for me."

When these words were spoken, not only Li Xi, but even the self-disciplined Li Zhen couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Liu's face turned dark and ugly. By comparing herself with a dead person, wasn't Li Qingqian clearly cursing her to die young like her short-lived mother?

She tried hard to suppress her inner anger. No matter what Li Qingqian said today, she would definitely put these two girls into her room.

So she could only nod and say yes with a fake smile, "When you were at home before, I didn't know how to get along with you. Now that you are a woman like me, I will do my best to consider you more."

Li Qingqian frowned slightly and said with some embarrassment: "I appreciate Madam's kindness. But I really can't take these two sisters back with me, for fear that they will bring you trouble."

Liu felt even more unhappy. Although this girl was not her brother's biological niece, she brought her to the house personally after all. She was still the mistress of the Li Mansion after all. How could Li Qingqian dare to lose face for her in front of outsiders?

Liu snorted coldly: "I know that I am not your biological mother, so you will not treat me as close as your biological mother. But I am doing this for your own good, so don't be ungrateful!"

Shen Changyun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "So, Madam Li means that if Qianqian and I don't accept these two girls, we will be ungrateful?"

Liu didn't dare to talk back to him, but she was unwilling to change her words, so she turned her head away and said nothing.

Shen Changyun chuckled and said to Bai Qian behind him, "Why don't you go to the palace and tell His Majesty that the mistress of the Li family wants to give me a concubine. His imperial decree is ignorant of good and evil. Tell him to take it back immediately!"

Bai Qian received the order and was about to leave, but Liu stood up and stopped him, staring at him with wide eyes and asked, "Imperial edict? What imperial edict?"

Shen Changyun chuckled, took out the imperial edict from the box beside Li Qingqian, and placed it in front of Li Zhengkang, "My uncle loves me and knows that Qianqian and I love each other, so he gave me this imperial edict that we will be together for life, and promised me that I will never take a concubine. But now your wife says that if I don't take a concubine, I will be ignorant. Fine, I won't listen to my uncle."

Li Zhengkang's eyes widened in horror, and he ordered the two maids at the door, "What are you still standing there for? Don't you see that Madam is going crazy again? Quickly tie her up and take her back to Jinyuyuan!"

Before Liu could react to what was happening, she was tied up and taken away by the burly old women.

Li Shuyue anxiously went outside to check, and when she came back she was almost crying: "Father, what are you doing?"

Li Zhengkang held the imperial edict and roared, "Even though the imperial edict was like this, your mother still dared to disobey it; you also questioned your father's order in public. Li Shuyue, you are already married anyway, so at worst, don't come back to my Li Mansion again!"

Li Shuyue wanted to refute something, but Li Qingqian spoke before her, "When my daughter was still unmarried, there was a quarrel in our family. At that time, my sister kept saying that the current madam was more honorable than the current emperor. I thought she was joking at the time, but now it seems that maybe it is somewhat credible?"

Shen Changyun winked at Bai Qian, who then cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will inform His Majesty and the Crown Prince of what happened today."

After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.

Li Zhengkang was anxious. He didn't care whether Liu was alive or dead. Besides, he was extremely fed up with her and wished she would just disappear.

But now Liu is still the mistress of the family... Yes, as long as Liu is not the mistress of the Li family, the Li family will not be affected by her misfortunes.

However, Liu gave birth to a daughter with him, and he had no son in his early years. This would inevitably give him the stigma of being "ungrateful", which was not good for Li Zhengkang, who always valued his reputation.
