Chapter 71: Awaken! Cheng Lianru
"Third girl, you are not well, please sit down and talk." Mrs. Li pretended to be a loving mother and smiled at Cheng Lianru.
Cheng Lianru had not seen the smiling face of her aunt Li since she was a child. When she saw it suddenly, she was really uncomfortable and shivered suddenly. It felt like being stared at by a poisonous snake. Had an average stay.
Xiyu kept supporting Grandma Sangu, and he could naturally feel her shivering, so Xiyu knelt down and said with a familiar smile: "My maid, thank you Madam for your mercy on Grandma Sangu!" After that, she helped her. The third aunt's grandma sat down firmly opposite Mrs. Liu.
When Mrs. Liu saw that her daughter-in-law was on an equal footing with her, and Mrs. Li had not spoken out to object, her face became a little ugly. She looked at Mrs. Li with a threatening look and put her hand on her There was a gentle pat on the sapphire blue satin purse on the waist that looked like it was two ordinary purses.
The little maid Shuang Lu was looking at her old lady and Mrs. Liu with a pair of smart eyes. She keenly noticed that Mr. Liu pressed the extra-large purse on her waist, and her old lady His expression changed faintly.
In fact, with Li's current status, she should have been called Old Madam. However, Li is just forty years old this year. She always feels that she is still young and refuses to be called Old Madam. , so the servants serving around Mrs. Li all call her Madam, and the servants at Shi'an Hall's Qiwu Garden all call her Old Madam. Mr. Li was quite sulky over this.
"This purse is weird, I have to find a way to get it over and take a look." Shuanglu said secretly in his heart, and began to think quickly about a solution.
"Third girl, you have also read books, and you must know that a good girl should never marry twice, and she must stay together forever. There is also a saying among the people, if you marry a chicken, you can follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, you can follow the dog, and if you marry a carrying pole, You have to carry her away, right?" Mrs. Li looked at her with a smile on her face, but her eyes were as cold as ice, and Cheng Lian felt as if her heart was freezing.
"My daughter is stupid, please mother, please make it clear." Cheng Lianru suppressed the fear in her heart, raised her head, looked directly at her aunt Li, and asked calmly.
"Hey... you child, look at you, you are just celebrating the Chinese New Year. Why are you making a divorce? Your husband's family is still in trouble. Is this how you want your daughter to be your daughter-in-law? Why? Don't give up your idea of reconciliation and make amends to your mother-in-law. Your mother-in-law has a lot of money and won't argue with you." Seeing that Cheng Lianru didn't follow her words, Mrs. Li immediately darkened her face. scolded angrily.
After hearing this, Cheng Lianru stood up, walked slowly to the front of the hall, looked straight at Mrs. Li, slowly knelt down, and asked calmly: "Excuse me, mother, if today it is the second sister or... Would you say the same thing to a fourth sister and a daughter?"
Ms. Li was speechless when questioned. If her biological daughter was abused by her husband's family, not only would she not say this, He will also take the officials of the Duke's Mansion and burn them all with fire.Personnel’s husband’s family!
"What qualifications do you have to compare with my daughters? They are serious legitimate daughters. Who are you!" Mrs. Li slapped the table angrily and shouted sharply.
"Yes, the daughter is a concubine and is not qualified to be compared with the mother's biological daughter. But please don't forget, mother, the daughter is also the blood of the father, but she does not have the blood of the mother. "Does my mother think that without your bloodline, only my father's bloodline can be bullied at will?" What Cheng Lianru said was heartbreaking!
Mrs. Li was shocked, angry and scared, but before she could speak, Cheng Lianru's voice came to her ears again.
"If mother doesn't allow me to reconcile today, then my second brother-in-law and fourth brother-in-law can follow my example and beat my second sister and fourth sister to death without any scruples. It's okay for my mother. , even if a married daughter is beaten to death by her husband's family, she is not allowed to divorce! She deserves to die!" Cheng Lianru's eyes were filled with despair, and her words were sharper than ever.
"They dare to fart! Little bitch, how dare you curse my daughter and seek death!" Mrs. Li angrily picked up the tea cup at hand and smashed it at Cheng Lianru's pocket.
Zidian's figure flashed with one hand and caught the tea cup firmly. Qingfeng rushed to Cheng Lianru's side and protected her tightly.
Mrs. Liu's eyes widened in surprise when she saw Cheng Lianru dare to contradict her aunt's mother in person. Is this still her submissive daughter-in-law, who is beaten and scolded, works hard and can be squeezed and rounded at will? And there are two maids with terrifying skills. Even if she really agrees not to be divorced, she still dares to ask for it. Can she still afford such a daughter-in-law?

"You...you are so brave. You dare to cause trouble. Come here, pull these two girls down and beat them twenty times!" Mrs. Li did not get angry at the concubine. Instead, he pointed at Zidian Qingfeng and shouted.
Cheng Lianru felt nervous and quickly stood up to protect Zidian Qingfeng behind her, and said hurriedly: "Mother, Zidian Qingfeng is the person next to eldest sister, and their physical bonds are not in our house. "Here, you... have no right to beat them!"
Mrs. Li was choked and fell backwards. Of course she knew that Zidian Qingfeng was the maidservant of her eldest aunt, and the contract of sale was in her hands. , they are no longer the maids of Duke Ning's mansion, she really can't punish them!
"Humph... I can't beat them, and I can't beat that girl!" Li pointed at Xiyu and shouted angrily.
There was no trace of panic or fear on Xiyu's face. She curtsied and bowed calmly, and asked softly and kindly: "Old madam, I am stupid. I really don't know what kind of mistake I have made to be punished." The old lady punished me, and I asked the old lady to make it clear... This servant has completely changed his mind and obeyed the old lady's wishes. "I don't know if it was intentional, but everyone in the hall could hear this.Yes, it really hit Li's heart.
Mrs. Li was so choked that she almost rolled her eyes. This Xiyu has only said two sentences since he entered the house, and there is no fault in each sentence in terms of logic and etiquette. Unless Li is acting unreasonably, there is really no reason to criticize Xiyu.
If the Duke of Guo was not at home, Mrs. Li might have just asked someone to come up and drag Xiyu down to do the work. But the problem is that the Duke is at home now. Li knew that if she hit Xiyu without any reason, Ning would definitely sue her before the Duke.
Cheng Fuhu’s lifelong military management was about strict military discipline, clear rewards and punishments, and no fault of Xiyu and no punishment. Li, the perpetrator, would have to be imprisoned in the small Buddhist hall again even if he was not slapped. Over the years, Ms. Li felt that she had completely figured out her husband's limits, so she only dared to play around within the limits she considered herself to be, and did not dare to go beyond the limits.
"You..." Ms. Li wanted to say that Xiyu had contradicted her, but Xiyu's words were soft, her tone was humble, and there were no problems with etiquette. She really couldn't fault it. She couldn't say that it was Xiyu's fault for following Cheng Lianru. After all, Xiyu is just a maid. She has no choice but to decide who she serves. She has to listen to her master's orders.
When Mrs. Liu saw that Li, a dignified wife of a duke, was being scolded by a concubine and three maids, her face was red and her neck was thick, but she couldn't even deal with the maids, and she felt a little drum in her heart. Why does she feel that Li's current status is not as secure as it was a few years ago.
If Li’s words are of no use, will continuing to threaten her still be of use? But apart from Mrs. Li, Mrs. Liu no longer knew any other noble lady who could pave the way for her son. Could she just accept her fate?
"No, no, I don't accept my fate. The master said that I, An'er, am a person of great fortune!" Ms. Liu remembered that when she gave birth to her child, the god-like great monk gave her My son's fortune telling made me extremely confident again.
"Girl, don't think about Heli anymore. We will never agree to it even if we die. Now that you have entered my house, you are a member of my family. Even if you die, you are also a ghost of my family!" If you refuse to come back, then I will hang myself on the city gate tower, and I will sue you to death for using your power to suppress others and force your own family to death!" Mrs. Liu stared at Cheng Lianru and said fiercely.
Cheng Lianru was about to reply, but Mrs. Liu said, "If you don't get along, come back and live a good life with An'er. We will still be a family, and I will hand over the stewardship to you." , as long as you give birth to a son for An'er, you will have the final say from now on, and the family will live a warm and affectionate life."
Looking at Mrs. Liu's aloof and ugly face, as if she was giving out a gift, Cheng Lianru Suddenly he laughed. Her smile was like a flower in bloom, with a beauty as if she had been reborn.
"Grandma Liu, your abacus is so loud! I don't bother you to go to the city gate tower and hang yourself. It's not good to scare the people of the capital! We will see you in court later, youGo to the lobby to complain. How can the dead speak to the living? What if your body is destroyed as soon as you hang yourself? "Cheng Lianru no longer looked at Mrs. Liu, and sneered.
"You...you are really not afraid..." Mrs. Liu was so angry that she was trembling all over. There was nothing that her three sticks couldn't do. What a bastard daughter-in-law, she is clearly a yaksha who eats people without spitting out their bones!
"I'm afraid, why am I not afraid? I'm afraid that you will be beaten to death by your family, I'm afraid that you will be tricked to death. Use them all to extract oil! "Cheng Lianru retorted back unceremoniously.
Seeing the third aunt and grandma in full force, Xiyu felt that her words were useless. Zidian Qingfeng and Zidian Qingfeng were full of surprise. If they say Before, they were only ordered to protect the third aunt, but now the two maids wanted to protect this poor girl who was desperately trying to survive.
