LiWeiyang and Li Min De exchanged a glance, and Li Weiyang spoke up: “Si Mei,what happened to you?”<o:p></o:p>

Witha face full of tears, Li Chang Xiao lifted her head Upon seeing Li Weiyangstanding in front of her, she i, nothing, some sand entered my eyes”<o:p></o:p>

Sandin her eyes? She was not a child, ould she think of lying to her? LiWeiyang did not want to meddle in others’ affairs, but her instinct told herthat Li Chang Xiao was trying to hide so Xiao’s Yatou Yin’er said defeatedly: “San Xiaojie doesn’t not know this,but our Xiaojie here kindly served tea and ue while drinking the ave a her fierce scolding! Da Furen scoldedXiaojie, but she still said that her own Yatous are not dependable She wantedXiaojie to serve her at night, which Xiaojie found it inappropriate Da Furenthen accused her of not respecting her as herto sacrifice her own rest at night, and scolded Xiaojie forpurposely agitating her illness! San Xiaojie, you know that our Xiaojie ishonest by nature!”<o:p></o:p>

LiChang Xiao heard this, but feared that it would make matters worse “Do notutter nonsense!” she hurriedly said, and left as quickly Yin’er saw herXiaojie’s anxiety and had no choice but to chase after her, without furtherelaboration<o:p></o:p>

“Howcould Da Furen be so evil? She never used to show it on her face in the past”Li Weiyang hed coldly “This nal, and a guard dressed in black actually eed from the trees andlanded softly in front of hi Li Min De’s secret guards, Li Weiyang did not feel muchsurprise<o:p></o:p>

“Tellations”<o:p></o:p>

“YesYesterday Si Yiniang advised Si Xiaojie, saying that Wu Xiaojie had just beentargeted by Da Furen, so she should try to save her younger sister’s life; SiXiaojie took her bedding over to Da Furen’s rooht DaFuren did order her servants to prepare a soft bed for her, but Si Xiaojie hadbarely slept when she was ordered to fetch tea, ht, she was sutreated like a Yatou<o:p></o:p>

LiMin De sighed and said: “Alright, youcouldn’t help but shake her head “Da Furen needs someone to take careof her, she could have asked her Yatous, ould she torture Si Mei like thatand take the risk of people accusing her of ill-treating her illegitie?”<o:p></o:p>

“Perhapsafter she fell ill, her personality becoht<o:p></o:p>

Thisseeht it wasXiao, in return for hersister biting off her ear<o:p></o:p>

Theythought that this matter was considered case closed, but who knew on the verysa Xiao broke ajade pendant that Da Furen loved, causing her to get thrown out of her houseafter getting a fierce scolding<o:p></o:p>

Thenext day, Du Ma’s residence“Xianzhu, originally Da Furen did not want to burden you, however, as you know,Si Xiaojie has fallen ill…”<o:p></o:p>

Uponhearing the news, Li Weiyang smiled blandly “Oh, is it? I wonder whatinstructions Muqin has for me?”<o:p></o:p>

“Furenwould like to request for Xianzhu to take care of her when she is sick” DuMama lowered her eyes and said respectfully<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang siht, I will be there in amoment”<o:p></o:p>

Theer “Sanjie, Da Furen is toomuch, you should show her what you’re made of!”<o:p></o:p>

Eversince San Furen passed away, Da Furen had constantly targeted Li Weiyang LiMin De gritted his teeth in anger; if he had known this would happen, he shouldhave scared the life out of her the last tier and unwillingness on his face, and let out a laughShe lightly picked up the pot of tea in front of her, and slowly and steadilypoured out a cup “Why do you bother so her cally unhappy, and said anxiously: “Sanjie, that witch will surely take the chance to torture you…”<o:p></o:p>

“SanDi!”<o:p></o:p>

LiMin De was like an ant hopping on a hot stove, al hi off hisoriginal speech “What you should say and shouldn’t say, have you forgotten?”<o:p></o:p>

LiMin De’s eyes reddened, and he turned away<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang smiled “In this world, the person who has the ability to bully me doesnot exist Since she wants me to serve her, I will do so, but I will not careabout the consequences of what happens next”<o:p></o:p>

Aftertwo hours, Li Weiyang was all smiles when she stepped into Da Furen’s hos, and she had her eyes closed Her left earwas covered by her high collar, partially hiding the wound Du Mama softlyannounced: “San Xiaojie has arrived”<o:p></o:p>

DaFuren slowly opened her eyes, studying Li Weiyang for ais here”<o:p></o:p>

Thes has come to serveyou”<o:p></o:p>

“Iknow you are filial It’s time to have lunch” Da Furen smiled and said<o:p></o:p>

DuMae the food earlier on, and as Da Furenglanced towards Li Weiyang, she warmly came forith a smile to hold herup<o:p></o:p>

Infront of the Yatous and Mahter<o:p></o:p>

Ina blink, they were in the dining area<o:p></o:p>

DaFuren used to have her specific place to enjoy hertable wouldbe placed at the western side of the main hall, and other than mealtimes, thearea was unused Because she was now sick and unwilling to walk, the diningtable was placed at the outer hall instead<o:p></o:p>

AsLi Weiyang helped Da Furen towards the table, Da Furen felt that she actuallyhad the strength to break her wrist bones, and could not help but atterip<o:p></o:p>

“What’swrong, Muqin?” Li Weiyang sritted her teeth: “Nothing”<o:p></o:p>

Atthis moment, Du Mama had already instructed the servants to carry out therosewood eight i stools at the side LiWeiyang took a look around the room, and her surveillance told her that therewere countless priceless antiques here She couldn’t help but give a smallsmile<o:p></o:p>

DuMama spotted her s at?”<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang slowly replied: “I was thinking, Muqin is indeed grand, the decorationsin Lao Furen’s house is definitely not as valuable as the ones here”<o:p></o:p>

DaFuren grew up in Guo Gong’s Residence, and she had been in control of the LiResidence for so many years, of course she would be wealthy And not justwealthy, but very , the itemsin Furen’s home is merely common; the real treasures are in Lao Furen’s hall,but she finds it too dazzling and has ordered it to be kept aside”<o:p></o:p>

“Oh,I see” Li Weiyang eyed the treasure shelf not far away, filled with countlesstypes of jade items, bonsai, and especially, a piece of suet jade carved into aMagnolia flower; the pure cream color was so beautiful, one’s eyes could dropout just by ad it<o:p></o:p>

DaFuren watched coldly, thinking that Li Weiyang was huger She knew that Li Weiyang had previouslyreceived ifts from the Palace, but her own collection could be asco to realise that with her own status andpower, she could not be so easily defeated She lowered her eyes andinstructed: “Let’s get ready to eat”<o:p></o:p>

AYatou walked over, with a bronze teapot in hand She poured half a pail of hotwater, while another Yatou helped Da Furen fold back her sleeves<o:p></o:p>

“Youht not know, but your Sijie is really out of hand” Da Furen complainedcoldly as she washed her hands “She has to be instructed before she will doevery little thing Just a few sentences froreat hureatfaht think I’ve ave a small smile, and appeared expressionless<o:p></o:p>

DaFuren continued: “With her behavior, others will feel that a concubine’sdaughter is after all still just an illegitihter, and can never stepup to the occasion!”<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang just continued se veiled insults towards herself²<o:p></o:p>

DaFuren grew frustrated, and Du Maainst Si Xiaojie, she was brought up by Si Yiniang afterall She didnot have a chance to learn from Furen, so she’d definitely h, and lifted her hands A Yatou appeared by her side andcarefully dried her hands with a white towel <o:p></o:p>

“Weshould invite a Mo, don’t youthink so?” Da Furen stated coldly<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang’s expression was neutral “As Muqin says”<o:p></o:p>

TheLi Family had always been one of the scholarly fareatly differed from those who flaunted their wealth Their usualdinner did not exceed ten dishes and two soups, but of course, every dish wasdelicately and carefully prepared<o:p></o:p>

DuManal for her to serve the dishes to Da Furenpersonally<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang acted as if she did not notice, and re<o:p></o:p>

DaFuren was unhappy and co, when your Dajie was around, atmealtimes, she would be by my side to serve the dishes; that is filial piety”<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang batted her eyelashes, and said: “I a”<o:p></o:p>

“Iprohed coldly<o:p></o:p>

Shehad wanted to control her te, theharder it becaainsther, so as to get rid of the hatred in her heart<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang smiled “Since Muqin says she will not blame me, I will try my verybest to serve Muqin”<o:p></o:p>

Shefloated over gracefully, selecting a piece of sweet and sour fish and placingit into Da Furen’s bowl Da Furen saw the fear and trepidation on her face, andimmediately felt better<o:p></o:p>

Nohter was, she was still expected to showfilial piety to her Di Mu in front of others If not, Li Weiyang would nevermake her mark in Dali! Why did she not think of it earlier; she should haveordered this damn yatou to come before her every day to learn etiquette, anduse it as a chance to torture her to death! As Da Furen had these thoughts inhis lutinous ricedus are very delicious, Muqin please try”<o:p></o:p>

Shepersonally scooped a piping hot bowl, and without even blowing on it to cool,dumped the entire contents towards Da Furen Everyone was shocked, and Da Furenwas so stunned that she had no tilutinous rice dus splashed onto her<o:p></o:p>

Itwas summer, and her clothes were thin Da Furen let out a painful wail; shewished soat this veryuilt appeared on Li Weiyang’s face, and she hurriedly tried tohelp Da Furen clean up Da Furen was thunderously angry and did notturned to the Yatou who had held the handwashi+ng water and brought thepail over<o:p></o:p>

Itwas unclear if she was really flustered or she did it on purpose, but she fellforhile holding the pail of water Du Mama quickly shi+elded Da Furen, andwith a quirk of her lips, Li Weiyang fell heavily on the ground A knocked overstool crashed loudly, along with Li Weiyang, who landed onto Da Furen and pinnedher to the ground Du Mainally wanted to protect Da Furen, became ahuman cushi+on, which of course scattered her old bones<o:p></o:p>

DaFuren’s screa hadcaused her to hurt her chest area froenuine wail<o:p></o:p>

“Xianzhu!Get up, get up quickly!” Du Maot up, she purposelyand cruelly pushed against Da Furen’s ribcage, causing her to cry out again,and nearly fainting fro behaved as if she had no strength, and a group of Yatous and Marabbed onto the tablecloth, andin a flash, the dishes, utensils, crockery… everything on the table landednoisily onto the floor, stunning everyone Da Furen was entirely covered anddirtied by the dishes,her look quite pathetic<o:p></o:p>

Oneof the Ma shot ZhaoYue a glance Zhao Yue forcefully kicked the Mama just as she propped Da Furenup; this kick ca what had happened, theMaether towards the shelf of treasures In a nolia, sapphire inlaid enamel vase, plum blosso fell to the ground and shatteredinto pieces<o:p></o:p>

Astthe mess, Da Furen sat there, completely stunned speechless after her head hadbeen knocked by these treasures<o:p></o:p>

Everyonelooked at each other over this scene with unbelieving eyes<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang wrung her hands, saying helplessly: “Muqin, I’ve said earlier that I aet up, the floor is socold!” She made a move towards Da Furen to help her up<o:p></o:p>

“Don’ttouchany shred ofdignity and shouted as if in pain, her screaeveryone’s hairs stand on end Du Ma’s hands away; Da Furen’s precious treasures were all broken in thatblink of an eye… destroyed! All destroyed! Da Furen’s eyes di immediately<o:p></o:p>

DuMa for, quicklyhelp Da Furen up and bring her to the bed Get the physician, get thephysician!”<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang gave a small smile “Du Mama, allow me”<o:p></o:p>

Fearblossomed on Du Mama’s face “There’s no need to bother Xianzhu, the Nubis herewill take care of it, please go and rest!”<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang appeared embarrassed, “How could I do just leave like that?”<o:p></o:p>

“Ofcourse! Xianzhu please go ahead and rest!” Du Maht unlucky star<o:p></o:p>

Asall the servants were too busy attending to the unconscious Da Furen to see herout, Li Weiyang left by herself, shtly and she was in good spirits Bai Zhi worriedly spoke out“Xiaojie…”<o:p></o:p>

LiWeiyang turned to look at her “Why, are you scared?”<o:p></o:p>

Afterthe murder that happened at the baths, there was very little that could scareher now, but Bai Zhi was siive up soeasily<o:p></o:p>
