Rebirth: Picking up a Little Husband

After the people left, the old lady turned cold and her eyes darkened.

The nanny waited carefully, and asked someone to re-brew the warmed tea, "Is the old lady worried about the second lady?"

The old lady shook her head, put her finger on the back of the chair, and tapped it twice, "Nurse, you said that the master hasn't had any children for so many years, but what's wrong?"

The mansion has hired a regular doctor, and the wives often suffer from mild typhoid fever, and this is the one who takes care of them, including her body.

Mammy pondered for a while, then shook her head.

Although she is an old man brought by the old lady from her natal family, there are some things that a slave like her should not be able to say.

"That's all, you go and ask the master to come over."

"The old slave will go now."

As soon as the nanny left, the old lady's room became quiet again. She took off the prayer beads on her wrist, stood up and walked to the Buddha statue, worshiped and chanted sutras devoutly.

Li Shengcai frowned when he heard the old lady looking for him, and then followed his mother to the old lady's yard.

"Mother."

The old lady said "hmm", put her hands together, and bowed to the Buddha statue.

"Master, things in Beijing are going well?"

"Well, with the help of the Su family, it will be much smoother."

"That's good." The old lady was supported by the nanny and sat back on her seat. She raised her eyelids and glanced at Li Shengcai, "I don't know what the master thinks about the son?"

"Why did mother think of asking about this?"

"The Li family can't have no successors." The old lady's eyes were sharp, falling on Li Shengcai like a cold arrow.In her opinion, although Li Changwei is a legitimate son, he does not have that talent, and it is even more impossible for Li Chuyao and Li Shunwei.

Li Shengcai was startled, of course he knew which wife the old lady liked the most. For so many years, it seemed that Zhang Xianglan was in charge of all the affairs in the mansion, but in fact the shadow of the old lady was behind her.

Together with his heirs, whoever the old lady likes will be able to bear the heavy responsibility.

He once told Zhang Xianglan that Li Changwei should not be spoiled, but Zhang Xianglan doted on him and refused to listen to his persuasion, turning into the lazy and unbearable appearance he is now.

The second wife, Qian Shi, has a close relationship with the old lady, and was once his only choice for a wife, but he first brought Zhang Xianglan in, but in desperation, the old lady made Qian Shi his concubine.

Over the years, the old lady has been targeting Zhang Xianglan everywhere, it's not that he doesn't know, it's just that he can't control it.

Zhang Xianglan didn't know about Qian Shi's matter, but what he could do for Zhang Xianglan was to prevent Qian Shi from keeping a boy.

"Mother..." Li Shengcai's back broke out in cold sweat. He was raised by the old lady herself, and the fear in his bones was almost instinctive.

"I won't pursue the past, but you have also seen the situation of the Li family. Even if you are guilty, you should pay it off after all these years."

"Her own son doesn't live up to expectations, so she can't blame others."

How could the old lady not understand Li Shengcai's careful thinking? She didn't think about it before, until Muran was raised as the fourth aunt, and Qian came to her to complain, and she didn't think about it.

Li Shengcai reluctantly agreed: "Mother, son understands."

The old lady glanced at him, "Now that you understand, let's go to Mrs. Qian's tonight."

Hearing the old lady's almost commanding tone, Li Shengcai's fingers in his sleeves clenched tightly, and he let out a "hmm" to show his position.

The nanny looked at Li Shengcai's dull back, she opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

The old lady glanced at her, and said to herself: "He has been like this since he was a child, if I don't force him, how can his vacillating heart make a decision so quickly."

Mammy sighed and said nothing more.

Mu Ran, who returned to the other courtyard, looked at herself in the vanity mirror, and smiled with her lips curled up.

Judging from the attitude of the old lady today, she will not touch her. As long as she can leave an heir for the Li family, her position in the Li family will be stable.

But until now, she didn't remember how she got to the master's bed.

What's more, it's still on the couch in the study.

Mu Ran couldn't help but blush when she thought of Li Shengcai's appearance in bed.

No wonder Qian would rather be a concubine than marry a master back then.

Recalling the jealous eyes of Zhang Xianglan and Qian Shi, she couldn't help being happy.

She finally flew up the branch and turned into a phoenix!

Recalling the previous days, a look of disdain flashed in her eyes, she picked up the beautiful jewelry in the box, and while stroking it, she asked the maid behind her: "Go and call me Jiayi, the maid from the Second Young Master's room."

Didn't that girl laugh at her?

She wants to let people know what is the status of high and low.

"Reporting to Fourth Aunt, Jiayi from the second young master's courtyard was sent to Yinan by the old lady."

Mu Ran was taken aback for a moment, thinking of where Yinan was, she sneered again, "Sure enough, you can only go where you should stay."

The little maid frowned and didn't dare to speak.

"Okay, you go down, if the master comes, remember to report to me."

"Yes."

There are many ornamental trees planted in the courtyard. In this season, the leaves are all over the ground, and a blanket is laid on the path.

Zhang Xianglan went back to her yard from the path, and accidentally stepped on a puddle, which happened to be the place where the leaves were piled up. Her angry face became even more contorted, and she shouted at Qing Cui beside her, "Let someone beat the cleaning servant for [-] minutes!" Daban, neglecting his duty, there are so many leaves in the yard and he doesn’t know how to clean them, do you think there is no one in the yard?”

"Ma'am, be careful, this servant will go right away."

Another maid lifted up Zhang Xianglan's wet skirt, squatted on the ground and wiped it carefully with a handkerchief.

"Get out, what are you wiping!" Zhang Xianglan kicked the person away.

The maid immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to raise her head.

Zhang Xianglan scolded "bad luck" and hurried back to the yard.

Seeing Zhang Xianglan coming back to the house, the old nanny who took care of the house immediately went up to welcome her. Seeing that she had a bad face, she thought she had run into Fourth Aunt again, so she comforted her, "Ma'am, why bother with yourself, your two sons, The third aunt is very weak, and the third young master is timid, so it will be obvious who the Li family is in the future, so why make yourself unhappy."

Zhang Xianglan glanced at the old nanny and snorted coldly, but her anger obviously dissipated a lot.

The old nanny used to help Zhang Xianglan manage the private treasury, and it was the original Zhang family who came to Li's residence as a dowry. Some time ago, Li Sheng just accepted the fourth aunt, so Zhang Xianglan asked someone to remind her.

"Nurse Zhang, the master sleeps with that bitch every day, how can you let me rest assured?"

Nanny Zhang is an old man after all, she has more experience than Zhang Xianglan in the affairs of the mansion, "Second madam, can I go to see the old madam?"

Zhang Xianglan nodded.

Nanny Zhang smiled, "Ma'am, don't worry, the second lady has no child, so even if you have to worry, it's her."

Zhang Xianglan understood what she meant, "Then I just sit and wait?"

"You, the most important thing now is how to let the master revisit the old relationship and return to your side."

Zhang Xianglan calmed down, she nodded, "It's my mother who wins my heart."

Nanny Zhang smiled and said nothing.

Li's Mansion in Yecheng is intriguing, and Li Chuyao in Yinan is wandering around with his husband every day.

When they returned home that day, Uncle Qiong waited at the door.

"Second young master, the old lady sent a letter, urging the old slave and the third young master to return to Yecheng."

After speaking, he handed the letter in his arms to Li Chuyao.

Li Chuyao opened the letter and read, Yao'er, half a month has passed since the wedding, and Uncle Qiong should be back. Third Auntie thought that Shunwei's concern was important, so let him come back with Uncle Qiong.

You are in Yecheng, don't go to the gambling house again.

Su Yu is a good boy, after a while, grandma will take care of your house, you can come back with Su Yu again.

Li Chuyao sneered in his heart, the old lady clearly didn't want him to go back, and she gave such a high-sounding reason.

Li Chuyao returned the letter to Uncle Qiong, "Uncle Qiong and third brother, when are you going to leave?"

"The third young master, I haven't had time to notify you in the future, the day after tomorrow at the latest."

"So anxious?" Li Chuyao frowned.

Uncle Qiong pursed his lips and smiled, "The old lady has given orders, naturally the sooner the better."

Li Chuyao nodded, "Okay."

Su Yu also read the letter, took a look at Li Chuyao, and followed him back to the house.

"Why does the old lady insist on keeping you in Yinan?" Su Yu didn't understand the deep meaning of it. Since Li Chuyao escorted him to Yinan back then, logically speaking, if there was no marriage and he arrived safely, Li Chuyao should go back. Even if they get married, there is no need to stay in Yinan forever.

Li Chuyao glanced behind him and signaled Jiayi and Zhixia to guard the door.

He pulled Su Yu to sit down, "Do you know why the old lady in Yinan didn't stop me from coming?"

Su Yu shook his head.

"I wasn't among the heirs of the Li family. Why didn't you follow my wish if you could eliminate me first?"

"Then why give you a house and a wedding?"

"Part of it is because of the Su family, and part of it is because she wants to exercise me, or in other words, there is something she expects from me." No one in the Li family told him that he was an illegitimate child in his previous life.

But the old lady, who had always been fond of her family background, had tolerated her for so many years. If it were Li Shunwei, the old lady would not be so devious. It seems... The old lady firmly believed that he could be successful.

Another point is - the old lady thinks he has the ability to compete with Zhang Xianglan.

If his mysterious mother had such a powerful family background, he shouldn't be just an illegitimate child raised under Zhang Xianglan's name.

Thinking of this, Li Chuyao couldn't help but frowned, he couldn't understand the old lady.

"What to look forward to?"

Su Yu looked Li Chuyao from head to toe, and said uncertainly: "A male face is a disaster?"

Li Chuyao: "..."

"Baby, if you want to praise me for being good-looking, just say so, don't beat around the bush."

Su Yu: "..."

Li Chuyao rubbed his chin. In his previous life, the old lady started to treat him well because he admired him because he had an idea to start a business. Later, he improved and his kindness became more and more obvious. In this life, he has always been mediocre, but since he owed gambling debts, the old lady People are already in a stocking state for him.

Now that he is required to stay in Yinan, there is still a sliver of affection left. This expectation has diminished, but it has not been exhausted.

So in the final analysis, the old lady's specialness to him still comes from her background.
