Chapter 256 – Never Say! (1/2)
Chapter 256: Never say!
Because driver Luo Xu protected them with their life, Li s.h.i.+nian was not injured at all.
When she returned home, to avoid mother Luo Qi getting worry about her, Li s.h.i.+nian pretended to be fine, and when Luo Qi asked why did she come back so late she only said that she took a stroll to Confucius Temple with her cla.s.smates.
Girls have a natural talent in acting; even if Luo Qi was intelligent she also completely could not see anything strange.
Luo Qi set the table for dinner and told Li s.h.i.+nian to wash her hands before eating. Even after coming to Tiandu, the whole family still kept the diligent and thrifty habits that they had in Jiangnan city. The family's clothes and meals were all took care of by the lady of the house. Gongsu Yu also sent servants over to serve them but Luo Qi declined with the excuse that she was not used to it.
She did not want her daughter Li s.h.i.+nian to have the bad habits that the daughters of wealthy families have, because——she was not really a daughter of the Lu family.
If one day they returned to their original ident.i.ty, or if, because of Li Muyang, they clashed with the Lu family——
In Luo Qi's heart, Li Muyang was an active volcano that could erupt at any time.
If he knew about his own ident.i.ty, knew about everything that had happened to him.
What choice would he make at that time?
If he chooses to never forgive the Lu family and not contact them all his life, then Luo Qi would be perfectly happy to pack her bags and leave with him without any hesitation.
If he chooses to accept the mistakes of the Lu family and acknowledge his biological family, then Luo Qi could also because of her relations.h.i.+p ask for a little courtyard from the Lu family where she could watch Li Muyang from afar. She was already content if she could see Li Muyang get married and have children, living happily and peacefully.
Like all other mothers, she was willing to dedicate her entire life for her children.
In her heart, Li Muyang will always be her child.
Li s.h.i.+nian came back from was.h.i.+ng her hands, sitting back down at the table, asking, “Where's Father? He is not back yet?”
“He's still working.” Luo Qi picked up a piece of red braised pork with chopsticks and placed it in Li s.h.i.+nian's bowl. “Studying is tiring, you should eat more.”
“Mum, The people of Tiandu thinks skinny is beautiful, I don't want to get fat.” Li s.h.i.+nian put the piece of pork into her mother's bowl and looked at her mother's thin face. “You've gotten thinner, you should eat more meat.”
Li s.h.i.+nian's father Li Yan used to be Gongsun Yu's driver and now worked at the clerical court. Powerful and wealthy families have their own advisors and aides; the Lu family obviously had a bunch of elites to a.s.sist them.
Li s.h.i.+nian knew that her father was responsible for the summary of information and intelligence in the clerical court. What had happened today, her father would definitely know. If he comes back and asks, it would make her mother worry. So she planned to wait for him at the door and intercept him before he walks into the house. Then she could communicate with her father how best to cover up the truth.
Luo Qi's lips curved into a wide smile. “My daughter and son are the most good-looking.”
Li s.h.i.+nian pursed her lips. “Mother, you can just praise me. Do not put me and my brother together——People would think that he looks like me.”
“You——does your brother look bad?”
“You also know how big brother looked like back then, how can you have the courage to exaggerate that your son is good-looking?”
“I'm going to tear your mouth——” Luo Qi put down the chopsticks, pretending to hit Li s.h.i.+nian.
“Mum, I miss big brother.” Li s.h.i.+nian said softly.
Luo Qi's hands froze in mid-air and then gently hit the back of Li s.h.i.+nian's head, smiling: “If you miss him then write to him. Isn't he at Starry Sky Academy, we can ask someone to help bring the letter to him——Your brother would be very happy to see your letter.”
