"Madam, the Crown Prince's wife is back..."
Mrs. Li, the Marquis of Zhenbei, who had just had breakfast, was about to go out to shop when she heard the cry of the little maid.
Mrs. Li's face darkened and she shouted coldly: "What do you call me? I'll come back as soon as I come back. Is it possible that my wife has to greet me in person? She deserves it!"
Little maid He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Madam, it was the in-laws and the in-laws who sent the crown prince's wife back to her home."
Mrs. Li became even more angry after hearing this. She did not allow Mrs. Cui to take Mrs. Ning away that day. Mrs. Cui was furious and wanted to sue her. Mrs. Li had some ulterior motives in her heart, so she had to give in. This was absolutely a huge humiliation for Ms. Li, who had not been aggrieved for four years. When she thought of Mrs. Cui, she bit her back molars with hatred.
"Love is coming or not! Ignore them and ask someone to prepare a car to go to Zhuque Street." Mrs. Li was actually very worried about Mrs. Cui. Mrs. Cui was born in a noble family and was a true noble. lady. Although Li didn't want to admit it, she knew that she was a Xibei.
It was only after she married into the Hou family that Li learned a little bit about the etiquette and rules of the nobility, and she was not even a decent person. All the aristocratic ladies and ladies in the capital did not laugh and ridicule Mr. Li behind his back. Almost all posts sent to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion were originally invited by Mrs. Su. After Mrs. Su passed away and the period of filial piety came out, only Mrs. Ning, the crown prince's wife, was invited.
Mrs. Li was very angry, but she was also self-aware and knew that she would make a joke when she went out. Therefore, she disliked dealing with those noble ladies even more. Apart from being a powerful person, I can only pass the time by visiting clothes, jewelry and makeup shops.
Precisely because Mrs. Li did not communicate with other wives, she did not receive the news that her husband was seriously injured. She did not know that the emperor had issued an order to announce that the Marquis of Zhenbei would return to Beijing. Naturally, she could not know that her husband was about to leave. Return to the capital, and will stay in the capital for a long time. There is no need to return to Yongning Pass.
When Mrs. Ning returned to her courtyard, Lady Man and the servants guarding the courtyard came up to greet her with great joy. Looking at the clean yard and the energetic servants, Ning smiled and nodded. It seemed that no one in her yard had suffered much during this period. Lady Man took good care of the entire Qiwu Garden.
When Mrs. Cui saw Mrs. Man, she smiled and took her hand and praised her so much that Mrs. Man, who had always been forthright and generous, blushed with embarrassment.
"Mom, I will accompany you to Quexianju later. You can go home as soon as possible." Ning held her mother's arm and said softly. She knew that her stepmother-in-law was unreasonable and generous, and she did not want her mother to be wronged.
As soon as Mrs. Cui heard the words "Magpie Immortal Residence", she couldn't help but shook her head in disdain again. Who can give such a frivolous and sexy name to their residence?
The little play about meeting an immortal on a magpie bridge that happened more than 20 years ago became popular all over the country.Otherwise, how could Li, who was blind and illiterate, know about the Magpie Bridge Immortal and the Golden Wind and Jade Dew...
The people Ning sent to Magpie Immortal Residence to report were very quick. She ran back. Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Ning heard her say that Mrs. Hou had just gone shopping. They were really dumbfounded. Did they just give in?
"That's all, since she wants to avoid being my mother, then she should avoid it. Xian'er, my mother is going back first. If you need anything, please send a message home as soon as possible. Mother and your sisters-in-law will come immediately." Cui After some more instructions, the old lady let go of her daughter's hand and boarded the car to go home.
It was impossible for Mrs. Li to spend her whole life shopping outside. After having lunch at the most famous Zuixian Tower in the capital, Mrs. Li returned to the Marquis Mansion with her newly bought clothes and jewelry.
Hearing that Mrs. Cui had returned home, Mrs. Li couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to see Mrs. Cui. Every time she saw the dignified and elegant Mrs. Cui, Li would feel embarrassed that she was still the wild girl from the country.
"Come here, tell Mrs. Ning, order her to bring Qinghan over and show me to Mrs. Li." When Mrs. Li heard that Mrs. Cui was gone, she immediately became stunned and felt inexplicably. Confidence.

After a while, Mrs. Ning walked in leisurely with her three sons and the wet nurse holding Cheng Qinghan in her arms.
Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel proud when she saw that Mrs. Ning was much thinner than before, her face was pale and she didn't look energetic at first glance. She just couldn't see Ning being good, as long as Ning was not good, she would be fine.
"Daughter-in-law, please greet mother." Ning knelt down to salute, and stood up without waiting for Li to call. She knew very well that Mr. Li would never take the initiative to call. I am only slightly in better health now, but I can't let Mr. Li be a mean person.
When Mrs. Li saw Ning standing up on her own initiative, she couldn't help but snorted, but she didn't dare to say anything unpleasant.
During the dispute that happened after Ning entered the house, Li was severely punished by her mother-in-law, Mrs. Su, and the punishment went straight into Li's bones. Therefore, although Mrs. Tai has passed away for four years now, Mrs. Li does not dare to use the matter of greeting her daughter-in-law to make trouble for her.
Ignoring Mrs. Ning, Mrs. Li just waved to the wet nurse and said, "Come here, let me see Xiao Qinghan."
The wet nurse looked at Mrs. Ning uneasily. There was no expression on Ning's face, she just nodded slightly. Only then did the wet nurse dare to step forward with the baby in her arms.
Mrs. Li took the baby with a face full of pity and love. She even kissed the baby's little face, obviously she liked it very much.
"Ms. Ning, I liked this child very much when she saw her. Now that you are in poor health and have no energy to take care of her, you might as well put her in Quexian Residence to raise her." Mrs. Li held the child in her arms. , said in a tone that could not be refused.
Ning's heart was already full of hatred, but she still had to suppress the slightest trace of anger on her face.Revealed. But no matter how hard I suppressed it, I couldn't help but turn cold and said calmly: "I shouldn't refuse mother's kindness, but... I'm afraid that mother won't have time to take care of the child in the future."
"Huh? You What does this mean? As a mother-in-law, you don't agree to keep your granddaughter by your side. Is this the upbringing of your Imperial College?" Mrs. Li was furious when she heard this and spoke nonsense without even thinking about it. Spray it up.
Mrs. Ning ignored her stepmother-in-law's anger and said coldly: "Don't you know, mother? Father is going back to Beijing."
"What? Isn't he serious? Fighting, what are you doing here?" Li exclaimed. Why didn't she hear any news about this matter?
Mrs. Ning sneered in her heart. She knew that Ms. Li looked like a superior Mrs. Hou, but in fact she was deaf and blind. She could not get any information.
"I heard that my father was seriously injured and had to return to Beijing to recuperate. The emperor has sent Dr. Liu to Yongning Pass to pick him up." Ning deliberately bit the words "Mr. Liu" heavily and kept her eyes closed. Looking at Mrs. Li with traces of traces, she saw a trace of guilt flashing across Li's face.
"What, you said that Mr. Hou was seriously injured? What does Cheng Size do for a living? He can't even protect his father!" Li yelled anxiously.
After hearing this, Ms. Ning rarely refuted anything. After all, her husband had written to her in detail about the situation at that time. Ms. Ning was full of gratitude for her father-in-law who sacrificed his life to save her husband. .
It’s just that the gratitude is only for the father-in-law and has nothing to do with Li, the step-mother-in-law. In the past, she could regard Mr. Li as an insignificant stranger, but now, he is just her sworn enemy of her daughter.
