Chapter 77 The Dandy Prince's White Moonlight
Some people, once they have done something wrong or are completely wrong, like to use seniority to pressure others.
Li's mother's voice was so sharp that Shi Li wanted to cover her ears with her hands.
After taking a look at Li's mother who was shaking with anger, Shi Li decisively knelt down to her, with a smile on her face, but her words were particularly heartbreaking.
"Don't be angry, aunt. I just said it casually. After all, you and my cousin are both polite people who know the rules of propriety and honor. Especially my cousin, who wouldn't praise him as a knight?"
Li Liang was called a "knight" because he had saved a singing girl before.
It’s never a good reputation.
Before, Shi Li was too lazy to speak. Li's mother had no idea that she was so sharp-tongued. She was so angry that she just covered her chest and looked like she was going to faint.
"Aunt doesn't seem to be feeling well?" Shi Li looked normal, and raised her head to look at Qingye, "Please help me send Aunt back to rest, and don't let Aunt worry about other things."
Mother Li knew that she would not get any good result today, so she glared at Shi Li fiercely, shook off Qingye's hand that was pretending to help her, and turned away holding the tattered paperweight.
Qingye staggered back two steps and lowered his head with an innocent look.
Shi Li's face was full of helplessness, as if she didn't know what she had done wrong.
Just after Li's mother completely walked out of the yard, the "innocent" master and servant looked at each other, and finally couldn't help laughing together.
"I just realized that Miss is so good at bullying people."
Without outsiders present, Qingye and Shili would speak more casually.
Shi Li leaned on the couch, holding her cheek and blinking, "Generally speaking, I don't like to bully others, but my aunt is really... a wonderful person."
Yes, any mother-in-law would give a paperweight to a daughter-in-law she likes, or at least give her her own hairpins or bracelets.
Li's mother's behavior is really not human at all.
But she took it for granted, and even thought that Shi Li was ungrateful and didn't take her seriously.
When she returned to the guest room, she angrily cut up several handkerchiefs.
In the past, every time Li Liang's father took a concubine, she would vent her anger in this way.
But today Shi Li really made her mad, and she couldn't calm down even after cutting many handkerchiefs.
Thinking of Shi Li's words of pressure, Mother Li still felt the blood rushing up and her breathing became difficult.
"Madam, you should let the young master support you in this matter."
There is always a shortage of servants who love to push the buttons around a careless master.
Li's mother's trusted maid was almost identical to her. She dreamed of becoming Li Liang's concubine, while trying her best to fan the flames in front of Li's mother.
She thought that everyone was like her and dreamed of marrying Li Liang, so she often belittled and provoked Shi Li in front of Li's mother.
"You're right. No daughter-in-law can be so arrogant and domineering!" Li's mother thought she was right.
Li Liang is very outstanding, and all the girls in the world dream of marrying him. Shi Li is so ungrateful!
This was the common idea shared by Li's mother and her servant.
So, when Li Liang came back from outside and was about to pay his respects to his mother, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Li's mother sitting beside the couch, crying silently.
"Mother, who made you sad?" The foolishly filial man stepped in front of Li's mother and asked nervously.
Li's mother is used to acting in front of her son.
She simply wiped away the nonexistent tears and shook her head firmly, "Mom is fine. As long as you and your wife live a good life, it doesn't matter what happens to Mom."
Li Liang didn't react for a moment and looked at Li's mother in confusion.
At this time, it was the turn of the maid who wanted to be his concubine to perform.
She quietly walked to Li Liang and said with great sorrow: "Madam, you shouldn't wrong yourself like this."
This sentence immediately attracted Li Liang's attention, and his eyes fell on the maid.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Being favored by Li Liang, the maid was so excited that her heart beat faster, and she shyly exaggerated the conversation between Li's mother and Shi Li during the day.
A lot of modifiers are used to emphasize how domineering and arrogant Shi Li is, and how tolerant and gentle Li's mother is.
After hearing the maid's provocation, Li Liang frowned deeply.
He never liked his cousin Shi Li in the first place, and always felt that she looked down on him.
Although Li Liang didn't like Shi Li's type, he still felt unhappy when she looked at him like that.
"Mother, when I pass the imperial examination, I will never let you have to look at other people's eyes again."
The filial son told Li's mother sincerely that he had no doubt that he would have a successful career in the government.
Mother Li was very pleased and nodded heavily, "I am very happy that my son has this heart."
The maid stood by and watched with satisfaction.
This scene could almost become a world famous painting.
