Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Qiao'er's face turned pale. "Third Miss, Third Miss, that won't work. Judging from the Crown Prince's expression, he must be extremely fond of Madam Zhi from the other courtyard."

"Besides, the princess has been on the battlefield and killed enemies. She is also the princess of Daliang and Northern Jin. It is not so easy to put the blame on her."

Li Shuangxi was holding the jade pendant that fell from Li Shuangwan.

A sinister look flashed across his face.

So what if she is the princess of two countries? If she dies, she will be nothing!

"Third Miss, if you are done washing, the Second Madam asks you to go to Zhilan Courtyard." At this time, the voice of the old woman was heard outside.

Li Shuangxi's body trembled involuntarily. Zhilan Courtyard was the second wife's courtyard, and she had been punished there many times.

"Three, three girls..."

Li Shuangxi glanced at Qiao'er with disgust: "If you still stink before I come back, don't serve me."

Qiao'er had no choice but to agree.

Arriving at Zhilan Courtyard, Li Shuangxi knelt down consciously and said, "Mother, Xier is back late. Please punish me."

"Someone, come here and tell us the family rules!" Xu's eyes were full of disgust.

Li Huaiyi is absurd. There are countless little bitches in the second wife's backyard who have slept with him, but as long as she is around, no one can hope to become a phoenix.

But it was Aunt Tong that Li Huaiyi not only made him his concubine, but she also gave birth to a daughter for him safely.

Fortunately it’s a daughter!

The son of the second branch of the Li family can only crawl out of her belly, no one else can!

Thinking of this, Xu raised her hand high and was about to slap him.

Li Shuangxi closed her eyes unwillingly.

One day, she will make everyone here crawl at her feet and beg for her mercy.

However, the expected pain did not come.

"Mother, what are you doing? Third sister is also very filial. Aunt Tong is sick. As a daughter, shouldn't she go and get medicine?"

"Why are you competing with a child? Do you act like a mistress of the house?" Li Huaiyi added after her son finished speaking.

Hearing the voices of her father and Li Yuanming, tears welled up in Li Shuangxi's eyes. She opened her eyes and timidly called out, "Father, Second Brother."

Li Yuanming stepped forward and helped her up: "Get up, a girl's body is precious, and the ground is hard. Second brother heard that you have been kneeling for several hours to buy medicine for Aunt Tong. If you kneel down again, your knees will be useless."

Li Shuangxi looked at Xu with extreme fear.

"Someone, send the third young lady back to Shulan Courtyard." Li Yuanming gave an order, and a maid came in and took Li Shuangxi from Li Yuanming.

Xu wanted to say something, but when she met Li Huaiyi's gaze, she shut her mouth in disappointment.

Li Huaiyi looked very unhappy and went into the house to change his clothes.

Li Yuanming waved his hand, and all the servants serving on the side retreated.

When only the mother and son were left in the wing room, Xu frowned and said, "She has the guts to disregard my words now. If she continues like this, do you want Aunt Tong and her daughter to climb over mother's head again? Don't forget, last winter, your father handed over the household expenses to her!"

Li Yuanming had just helped Xu to sit on a chair nearby when Li Huaiyi had already changed into casual clothes and left the house.

Seeing her own master, Xu didn't dare to say anything.

As soon as Li Huaiyi sat down, he drank several cups of herbal tea. When he finished the last cup, he slammed the cup heavily on the table.

Xu was shocked: "Master, what's wrong with you? I didn't do anything to Tong and her daughter."

Why do I feel so sorry for that vixen Tong?

"Father, have you encountered anything unpleasant?" When Li Yuanming met his father at the gate of the mansion, he saw that his father's face was very ugly.

Li Huaiyi slapped the table and said, "What's the point of having so many daughters! After they became the Crown Princess, not only did I, as a father, not get any benefit, I also became a laughing stock!"

He slapped his face and said, "She has completely ruined my reputation!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Li Yuanming understood that his father seemed to be being bullied by his immediate superior and colleagues in the Ministry of Industry.

Yes, the Ministry of Industry has always stood on the side of the Fifth Prince Ling Yan.

Even if the second sister became the Crown Princess, the Ministry of Works represented by Lu Ziqi would not like my father, but would like the second branch of the Li family.

Xu also sighed and said nothing.

The master has been in the awkward position of the fifth rank for fifteen years, and this was also achieved by relying on the military achievements of the first wife.

I haven't moved in fifteen years and there is no hope of promotion.

Their eldest son became a Duke with peace of mind, but he ignored his younger brother.

What a dearest relative! What a shit!

At this time, Xu also noticed the box next to Li Huaiyi's hand. She stuffed it into his hand when he went to the yamen this morning and asked him to give it to Lu Ziqi.

"Master, why is this brought back?"

Li Huaiyi snorted coldly: "I shouldn't have listened to you. These things are not rare at all. He is the Minister of Industry. He has seen all kinds of good things. You are too picky!"

Xu's heart was pounding with anxiety. What should she do now?

This jade Guanyin is the best thing their second branch can offer now.

Minister Lu doesn't even look down on this, which shows what good things he doesn't have in his daily life.

Yes, Minister Lu has the support of the Fifth Prince.

"Father, if you want to give something to someone, you should give them something that they like, so that it will touch their heart."

Li Huaiyi suddenly raised his head and looked at his son.

Yes, how could he forget such an important thing!

Then he thought of his little daughter, whose eyes were filled with tears, and his mind began to move.

Then I heard Li Yuanming say, "Father, mother, I heard that a famous painter has come to Shengjing. My uncle and his family have also returned to Shengjing. It's a rare opportunity for our Li family to be reunited. I want to ask him to draw a picture for each of us. Is that okay?"

Xu was worried about Li Huaiyi's official career, and heard that her son was still interested in drawing portraits for each person.

He sneered and said, "It's already this time, what's so good about painting? Their eldest wife doesn't even want it."

Li Huaiyi's eyes lit up and he said, "Yuanming, go now and see if you can invite someone tomorrow."

Li Yuanming replied yes and went out.

Xu said anxiously: "Master, why are you still thinking about this..."

"What do you know as a woman? Go and give Xi'er some of the clothes that the Crown Princess left in her boudoir."

"Master!" Xu was very unwilling. That was her daughter's. Why should she take that away from him?

"Just go when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Xu had no choice but to go reluctantly.

The next day, the painter was invited.

But, strangely, Li Huaiyi actually asked the painter to paint Li Shuangxi first.

Even ranked ahead of the old lady.

The artist's skills are excellent, and the characters are drawn very vividly, as if the people could walk out of the painting if they were to blow on it.

Li Shuangxi, in particular, brought out her full charm.

What a beauty leaps off the paper.

"Father, can you give me this painting?" Li Shuangxi also couldn't let go of her own painting.

It turns out that she can be so beautiful, not inferior to any other girl in this mansion.

All that is missing are silks, satins, jewels and jade.

Li Huaiyi rolled up the scroll: "The painter will stay in our house for a few days, then you can ask him to draw another one for you."

"Father, what do you want your daughter to do with this painting?"

"It's nothing. Why would a girl ask so many questions?" After saying that, she picked up the painting and left.

Li Shuangxi was extremely uneasy, always feeling that her father would not do anything good with her portrait.

She has reached the age of marriage.
