Twin Flowers - C89
“Madam, please drink some tea and calm down.” Mother Zhang placed the teacup next to Lady Wang’s hand, but the person retreated to the side. They didn’t talk much, nor did they try to figure out what their master was thinking.
“I know you feel sorry for Dia’Er. She’s my daughter, so I also feel sorry for her!” Mrs Wang said with a sad face, but Mrs Zhang did not answer and just lowered her head.
After a while, Lady Wang’s voice once again rang out, “However, that girl Ping`er has been by my side since childhood and is now even trying to force me to do so with her death. Moreover, that Liu Yi Chen will have to take a concubine in the future.
Die’er took Ping’er into her room. At least Liu Manor has a sister of her own who helps them out, which is better than carrying other women into the mansion. ” There was a trace of anger on Lady Wang’s face. Her voice was also getting lower and lower.
Looking at her now, she didn’t even look dignified anymore. The more she acted like this, the more uncertain she became in her heart. She was so scared that she didn’t dare to say a single word.
“Madam, Master is back.” Ping Yue came in at the right time to interrupt Mrs. Wang’s narration. Zhang Ma’s lowered head couldn’t help but feel relieved.
If Ping Yue hadn’t come in just now, she wouldn’t have known what to do. Luckily, Ping Yue came in time, so she couldn’t help but call herself lucky.
However, Ping Yue, this honest girl, was somewhat puzzled when she saw Lady Wang glare at her unhappily. However, she was smart enough to not say anything.
Lady Wang saw that she was obediently standing to the side with her head lowered and eyes lowered, but the anger in her heart had dissipated quite a bit. She opened her mouth to ask, “Where is the old master now?”
“I’m in the study!” Ping Yue answered truthfully.
Lady Wang nodded, tidied up her clothes, and then took Ping Yue and Mama Zhang to the study room.
Seeing that Lady Wang was coming over, the official standing guard outside the study room smiled and bowed respectfully, “Madam.”
“Just wait outside.” Lady Wang gave a slight nod to the Guan family’s courtesies and spoke to the two people behind her.
“Master.” Mrs Wang saw that he was currently sitting at the table, looking at something with his head lowered. Although it was already an undesirable age, his body still faintly showed the grace and shadow of his youth.
When Lady Wang saw this, her gaze unconsciously softened. There was even a hint of adoration in her eyes.
When Li Xiangnan heard her voice and raised his head to meet her gaze, it could be said that it greatly satisfied his self-esteem. Men all loved their women who looked at him with such adoration in their eyes, so Li Xiangnan was no exception.
“Is there something you need, Madam?” As Li Xiangnan looked at her, his voice became softer and softer.
“Master, it seems like you know about the matters of Ping’er.” As Lady Wang spoke, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
Li Xiangnan felt his heart ache as he hurriedly asked, “So what if I am Ping`er?”
Seeing him so anxious, Lady Wang’s heart leaped with joy, but she didn’t show it on her face. She continued to choke as she said, “Ping`er only wants to marry into the Liu Estate. I wanted to marry my own sisters to take care of each other, so I came here today to talk to Die’er about it.” Lady Wang’s appearance was quite similar to a mother who was thinking for her daughter.
However, she was indeed thinking for her own daughter. It was just that the person she was thinking about was not her little daughter, but her eldest daughter.
“How outrageous! You’re her mother! Furthermore, you’re even doing this for her! Why can’t you just carry your own blood related elder sister into the palace?”
However, on the surface, she still had a look of worry on her face. With a slight frown, she said, “Master, Die’er is only a child. Please speak nicely with her and don’t be angry.”
Lady Wang seemed to be worried about Li Die, but if she was, then she wouldn’t have said that she was going to carry Li Rou Ping home this morning, and she wouldn’t have made Li Die agree to it so easily.
Li Die had already brought people back to her own yard when the Shangguan family called her. She didn’t need to be there now. If she stayed there, it would cause a lot of trouble.
“Father.” Li Die had only come to the study twice since she came back, but it was never a good thing.
Looking at Li Xiangnan’s slightly angry face, Li Die wasn’t afraid in the slightest. She straightened her back and looked him in the eyes without fear.
After a long while, Li Xiangnan was the first to lose his cool. He looked at her and said, “On the day of your wedding, you and your sister will be carried home to be concubines!”
Li Xiang Nan didn’t do this because of her discussion. Instead, he was forcefully commanding her, making Li Die sneer in her heart. Was this the family love and affection she had always hoped for?
How could they think for her sake? They all spoke for her own good, so she could carry Li Rou Ping back to the mansion. But if it was for her own good, why would they make such a request?
At this moment, she missed him more and more. In the years she had spent in the general’s estate, her aunt and uncle had never had a child, and they had always treated her like their own child. They had even doted on her.
If today, she hadn’t returned to the Scholar’s Manor and was still in the Great General’s Manor, then her aunt and uncle would probably happily prepare the wedding dress for her and pull her along to post a few words instead of doing everything they could in their husband’s room.
However, such a life could never be returned. The aunt who doted on her had long since passed away, and her uncle and aunt were deeply in love. Now that her aunt had long since ceased to exist, her uncle naturally suffered a blow to his heart. Where else could she be bothered?
He spoke in a clear and cold voice, “Die Yu has already told mother that if Yi Chen wanted a concubine, Die’er would naturally arrange everything. If Yi Chen did not have such thoughts, Die Yun would not allow anyone who was disturbed to enter the mansion.”
Just as she finished speaking, Li Xiangnan raised his hand and slapped her. Li Die’s delicate face immediately turned red and swollen, but she acted as if she didn’t care at all. His eyes were still fixed on him, not backing down in the slightest.
