Chapter 65 The Dandy Prince's White Moonlight
Li Liang stood nearby, a hint of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he lowered his head silently without saying a word.
"Liang'er is a very ambitious child who insists on relying on himself for his future."
Li's mother remained calm and looked at her son with a smile, her eyes full of pride.
This answer made everyone believe it temporarily.
Shi Li looked at Madam Shi, who smiled silently, and quickly echoed the praise, "My cousin is so ambitious at such a young age. He will definitely be able to win an imperial decree for my second aunt in the future. You are so lucky."
Hearing such compliments, Li's mother felt happy both physically and mentally, and smiled at Shi Li with satisfaction.
When she first came in, she still disliked Shi Li because she had been in Ci'an and had a low status. But now that she saw how good she was at talking, she found her much more pleasing to the eye.
However, this identity is not worthy of her son. She will have to warn her son to stay away from Shi Li and not to get too close to her.
No one could have imagined her little thoughts.
Madam Shi ordered someone to clean up a small courtyard and personally took the mother and son there, making all the arrangements properly.
After walking out of the guest house, the decent smile on Mrs. Shi's face slowly disappeared, and finally she frowned with a serious expression.
"Haitang, send a letter to the master for me and ask him to check if anything happened to the Li family."
When they reached a secluded place, Madam Shi whispered instructions to her confidants.
"Yuanyuan, the reason why my aunt and Li Liang came to our house this time must be something serious. Don't get too close to them."
Shi Li also guessed what Mrs. Shi thought of.
But she was not very good at studying history, so she didn't know what had really happened. She just gave her sister appropriate reminders.
But when he turned around, he found that Shi Yuan was a little distracted, and her slender white fingers were fiddling with the embroidered beads on the purse.
Would this sister follow history and fall in love with Li Liang again?
Shi Li didn't dare to guess casually, and coughed artificially, trying to attract Shi Yuan's attention.
"Sister?" Shi Yuan finally came back to her senses and looked at her in confusion.
Shi Li looked at her for a few times, and finally couldn't help but asked directly: "You don't really like Li Liang, do you?"
These words sounded like thunder in Shi Yuan's ears.
"How can it be!"
Her tone was a little high. She frowned and covered her mouth, saying indignantly: "Aunt said that about my sister before, I don't like her. Although my cousin... I don't like her either!"
Shi Li finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Yuan said the second half of the sentence with some hesitation, but as long as she didn't fall completely, it was fine.
Gu Xiaonian is no less capable than Li Liang. I hope this silly sister can return to the right path soon.
Shi Li thought of Gu Ruijing, whom she had only met twice but left a very good impression on her, and wanted to ask Shi Yuan what impression she had of this "ex-husband".
"Miss, Miss." Haitang lifted the curtain and walked in, bowing and saying, "Madam asked me to invite you over to talk."
Mrs. Shi was a kind and gentle mother. She knew that her two daughters were out today. If there was nothing really going on, she would never bother them.
Shi Li grabbed Shi Yuan without hesitation and said, "Let's go and see what mother has to say."
When Shi Li arrived at Madam Shi's room, he saw her sitting beside the couch. Her face looked a little unhappy and slightly pale.
At the same time, he was holding a letter in his hand.
Shi Li had a feeling that the letter was the key and couldn't help but secretly glance at it.
The handwriting on it is elegant and graceful, very similar to Shi Lian's handwriting.
"If you want to see it, just look at it openly."
Unexpectedly, this little action was discovered by Mrs. Shi, who chuckled and handed the letter directly to Shi Li.
Shi Li felt a little embarrassed. She took the letter, took a look at it, and her eyes widened immediately.
This Li family is really brave.
They actually dared to lend money at high interest, and were discovered and reported to the higher-ups. This kind of thing is expressly prohibited by this dynasty.
The truth was revealed, and the Li family spent a lot of money to deal with it. Although the matter was suppressed in the end, Li Liang also lost the opportunity to be recommended as an official.
No wonder he had to take the imperial examination like other students from poor families.
After reading the letter, Shi Li understood everything.
“I never thought they would do that.”
Madam Shi sighed again, raised her eyes and looked at her two daughters seriously, "Although your aunt and cousin are relatives, you should not get too close to each other."
This statement does not mean that Mrs. Shi despises the poor and loves the rich.
The Li family's behavior was really absurd. Even her parents didn't want their own daughter to get close to the kang.
Shi Yuan was still confused.
Shi Li whispered something in her ear, which made her face turn pale immediately and she nodded in agreement hurriedly.
After the mother and her two daughters finished talking, Haitang walked in from outside again.
"Madam, there is a drunk old man lying at the door of the mansion."
Haitang looked a little embarrassed and really didn't know what to do.
