Chapter 87 The old woman compromises!
"Madam, I am a poor nun..."
"Qingwan!"
Li Qingwan saw her scumbag husband coming, and she had a plan in mind, "Ayue is here, how is Run'er?"
As expected, when talking about children, Xiuzhu's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked up at her husband with grievance as he was trying to please another woman.
"Master!"
"Little Master, why are you here?"
"I asked her to help with some chores here, Ah Yue. My mother asked me to go to the ancestral hall. I wanted the little master to go with me, but she seemed reluctant."
Xiuzhu was speechless. She naturally didn't want to go. Who knew what tricks this woman was going to play? She hadn't been able to deal with her the previous few times, and now she was even more like a coward, afraid that something would happen if she went. Her son was still lying in bed, so she didn't dare to provoke Li Qingwan.
"Go to the ancestral hall?"
Sima Yue paused, as if he understood something, "Little Master, if Madam asks you to go, you should go. Why are you hesitating?"
He didn't understand. Xiuzhu had been clamoring to go to the ancestral hall to meet the ancestors of the Sima family. She wasn't allowed to go before, so why didn't she go now that Qingwan asked her to go?
"My Lord, I..."
"I?"
Her words made Li Qingwan frown, "Little Master, how can a little nun like you call yourself me?"
Zi'er beside him also understood immediately, "Little Master, are you a fake nun?"
"I am guilty, madam, please don't say such things casually!"
"What are you still hesitating about? Why don't you leave?"
So, after Li Qingwan took people to the ancestral hall, Xiuzhu had no choice but to put down the work in her hands. She no longer had the fighting spirit she had at the beginning. She wanted to deal with Li Qingwan, but she found that the woman was very cunning and she always suffered losses. She did not dare to act rashly.
Moreover, she had just heard that Master Zhuang was coming to teach Runer, and her son finally found a good teacher. But in her opinion, it was because her son was smart that Master Zhuang was willing to teach the child, not Li Qingwan's credit.
"Xiuzhu, what's wrong with you? You almost got caught. Why are you so hesitant when I asked you to go to the ancestral hall? Aren't you afraid that Qingwan will get suspicious?"
Li Qingwan left, and there was no one else here, so Sima Yue stopped acting. However, his words made Xiuzhu feel very aggrieved. "My husband, even you said that. You know that the old lady doesn't allow me to go to the ancestral hall. Besides, Li Qingwan, this woman, must have no good intentions by asking me to go. She must want to humiliate me in front of your ancestors again!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Qingwan is not that kind of person!"
"No, Sima Yue, why are you increasingly speaking for Li Qingwan? Have you forgotten who is the woman you love the most?"
"Enough, why are you crying? I was wondering why I've been so unlucky lately, it's all because of you!"
"Husband..."
"Xiuzhu, if you want to see your son, you must listen to Qingwan, understand?"
Sima Yue is now increasingly partial to Li Qingwan, but Xiuzhu has to watch her man fall in love with another woman. This feeling of disparity is too great for her to accept!
"I won't listen. If you make me angry, I will take Run'er away, and take away the incense of your Sima family. Let's see if your mother dares to deny me."
"You are so outrageous, do you know what you are saying?"
Sima Yue was furious. He could never imagine where the gentle and considerate Xiuzhu had gone. Ever since he brought her back, everything about her was wrong. She always targeted Qingwan. In his opinion, they had deceived Qingwan. He gradually felt guilty towards Li Qingwan, and Xiuzhu actually dared to fight to the death?
Sima Yue shouted, the disgust in his eyes was even more obvious, "Xiuzhu, listen to me, I advise you to be more obedient, otherwise..."
"How about that? Are you going to kill me?"
"you……"
"Ah Yue, you asked me to be patient, I can be patient for my son, but you have to tell me, how long will this life worse than death last? I have forgotten that I am a woman. I have a husband and a son, but I can't have my husband, nor can I hold my son openly. You know how painful it is for me. When are you going to kick away Li Qingwan, this stepping stone?"
Xiuzhu's words made Sima Yue even more irritable and uneasy. He did think so before, but now...
He discovered Li Qingwan's charm and seemed to be attracted to her, so...
"Don't talk nonsense, we need to think long and hard about this!"
"Let's think about it in the long run, Ah Yue. Don't be so naive. Do you really think Li Qingwan will take care of your Sima family? In my opinion, she has already had second thoughts!"
"Shut up, Qingwan is not the kind of person you say. Don't stir up trouble in front of me with these words. This will make me hate you even more, understand?"
"What did you say, you heartless person? I've worked like a slave for you for so many years, and you hate me?"
Xiuzhu's crying made Sima Yue feel irritated. "Okay, put away your tears. Just think of it as me doing this for me and my son. The Sima family can only make a comeback with the help of Li Qingwan. If the Sima family fails, what kind of mistress will you be?"
Xiuzhu: “…”
"Okay, stop crying, and leave quickly. Don't let Qingwan get suspicious!"
In the Sima family ancestral hall, old lady Sima was kneeling devoutly before the ancestral spirit. She looked at the tablet of her late husband, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
"Master, you must protect the Sima family!"
"Madam, the lady is here."
"Mother!"
Behind them, Li Qingwan and Ah Qing and the others came slowly over. When she saw the old woman kneeling in the ancestral hall, she probably knew what had happened.
The old woman turned her head and glanced at Li Qingwan with a complicated expression, "Qingwan, come and burn some incense for our ancestors."
"Yes!"
Li Qingwan walked slowly into the ancestral hall. The original ancestral hall had been burned down by her, but now a new one has been built. Looking at the tablets of Sima family's ancestors on it, she found it ridiculous.
"All of you go out and close the door."
Still closing?
Li Qingwan couldn't figure out what the old woman was trying to do, and was very wary of her. After all, in her previous life, she was the one who was defenseless and was cruelly harmed by her. So in this new life, she was very wary of the Sima family.
"Mom, it's over!"
She was so perfunctory, but the old woman didn't notice it. Then the old woman slowly stood up and looked down at her, "Qingwan, do you know why your mother asked you to come here?"
Li Qingwan's heart skipped a beat, but she pretended not to know and shook her head, "My wife is stupid, so I don't understand what you mean?"
"Qingwan, I know you are worried about the cloth. I have thought about it for a long time and finally decided to give you the double-sided brocade!"
As expected, she had guessed it when she came here. Since she was forced so much, there was no reason for her not to hand it over for the Sima family!
But she pretended to be confused and looked up at the old woman, "Didn't you say that the Sima family didn't have this piece of cloth? Where did it come from?"
