C19 (1/2)

As for Dong Ling Wan who had returned to the mansion, she just sat in the inner room, deep in thought. When the servants brought them their meals, she also didn't know what to eat, so she had them withdraw long ago. Seeing this, Dong Ling Wan returned to the mansion, she just sat in the inner room, deep in thought.

Actually, the Eastern Mansion did not have much contact with the Li family. However, not long ago, because of the Li family's young miss having a poor reputation at the palace banquet, Lady Li came to visit today.

His name was Li Jianzhang, and he was a fourth grade assistant minister in the Ministry of Revenue. He had just passed the threshold of being able to attend the palace banquet with his family. Li Jianzhang was only forty years old, and for someone who didn't have a strong background, it was acceptable for him to have such a position at his age.

However, this Miss Li was straightforward and caused trouble for her father. Dong Ling Wan considered herself a petty woman, so of course she couldn't take being scolded like that. She naturally took out her anger on Li Jianzhang.

Even though his boss was a merchant, he was not joking. He would place some money in the hands of the Minister of the Civil Service, and after exchanging it with the officials who usually had a relationship with Li Jianzhang, someone would try to take care of him. If Miss Li relied on her status as an official's daughter to look down on her, then she would know who was untouchable!

Perhaps it was because of her weak body, or perhaps it was due to her natural disposition, but she had never resorted to violence to solve the problem.

Many years later, when she thought back to the past, she felt that it might have been because of this that she was destined to live her entire life in competition and scheming.

Previously, Dong Ling Wan was still in a good mood when doing these things, but today, after being stirred up by Xiao Qian, Dong Ling Wan didn't have the mood to see anyone. She waved her hand irritably, ”Go and enjoy the snow.”

Glowing Snow looked at Eastern Ling Wan and sighed almost inaudibly, as if she was worried about something.

After bidding farewell, Blessing arrived at the main hall. At this moment, Madame Li was seated below, quietly sizing up the furnishings of the manor. It was rumored that the three great salt merchants were rich and imposing, and it seemed that they were not lacking at all!

Two maidservants followed behind Lady Li. On the table, there were several boxes of gifts. They were obviously brought by Lady Li.

”Madam Li, you've been waiting for a long time,” she said with a smile as she came out of the inner hall.

Madame Li looked in and saw that Dong Ling Wan had come out. She was a bit annoyed, but she didn't show it on her face. She didn't forget what she had come here for.

Appreciate Snow's gentle and polite manner, unlike a normal girl's pettiness. When Madame Li saw that the maid had a certain attitude and also heard her name, she knew that she was the daughter of Eastern Ling Wan. She knew that it was not appropriate to offend her and replied courteously, ”Miss Xue, may I know if it is convenient to meet Second Miss?”

”Of course you can. It's a pity that I caught a cold when I went to send off the Pu Clan's young master. The young miss said that she's sick and can't afford to see anyone. Please forgive her.”

”This …” Lady Li knew that Eastern Ling Wan didn't want to see her, so she couldn't help but feel anxious. At this moment, she heard another voice from the other side speak up. ”Our young mistress also said …”

Madam Li understood what was going on, so she signaled the two girls behind her with her eyes and sent them away. ”Our Miss also said that it is not enough for Sir Li to be so resourceful in the government. Sometimes, he would turn from cloud to mud just because of some trivial matters, such as Miss Li's mouth.”

”There are many noble people in the capital, and Miss Li probably doesn't understand why this is happening. As our Miss has said, there are some things that should be seen through by Miss Li, otherwise, it would not be good if Sir Li's luck were to slip up.” Does Lady Li understand this? ”

”Understood.” Even a little girl in the mansion had such an attitude. The water in these tall courtyards was really not shallow! Madame Li's smile was somewhat pale. ”Please tell Second Miss that we, husband and wife, will definitely remember Second Miss's teachings.”

”Madame Li is a smart person.” ”Second Miss said Madame Li's time is precious. Since it's inconvenient for her to meet guests, she really doesn't dare to delay Madame Li's time …”

Madam Li knew that the other party had sent out the order to expel her guest. Although she was somewhat angry at this girl's arrogant attitude, it was as Glowing Snow had said, that her time was truly precious. In the past two days, the old master had been fiercely suppressed in the imperial court. Lady Li took two steps before turning her head back. ”Then I'll have to trouble you.”
