Chapter 53 Eloquent Teeth
In the room, Mr. He put the prepared pastries into the food box: "Time was tight, and Auntie only made these. I wanted to eat them in a hurry, so I asked Jiajia to come in advance."
"Thank you, Auntie!" Li Yuyan picked up the food box and left the house accompanied by Li Jiajia.
Li Yuye took the food box from Li Yuyan's hand very naturally, and then said goodbye to Li Zonghui and his wife.
The rain is getting heavier.
The maid and servant helped Li Yuyan and Li Yuye hold umbrellas and walk towards the gate of Li Mansion.
Not long after walking, an old woman came over hurriedly and stopped them.
"Fifth Miss, wait a minute, the old lady has something to say."
Li Yuyan stopped and turned sideways to Li Yuye and said, "Brother Li, I have to go to my grandmother's house. You go back first."
"Uncle Hui has entrusted you, and I dare not disobey it." Li Yuye smiled gently, "I will accompany you."
We arrived at Mrs. Li's house.
Li Yuyan saw Li Manting lying on her grandmother's lap, sobbing softly.
In an instant, she understood that the villain Li Manting complained first.
Mrs. Li and Li Manting in the room did not expect to see the Crown Prince of Zhenbei Palace in their own home.
"My granddaughter is sad. Your Majesty, please forgive me for not getting up to greet you." Mrs. Li's eyes flashed with a stern look.
Li Yuye smiled faintly: "The old lady is an elder, so there is no need for false etiquette."
Li Zongfa took advantage of the fact that he had the title of Marquis and was a generation older than Li Yuye, so he did not salute.
Zuo is just the eldest son of King Zhenbei, the son of a king with a different surname. There is nothing worthy of his respect.
One day, when their group becomes more prosperous, it will be time for the King of Zhenbei to salute them!
However, I have to admit that the young man in front of me is handsome, handsome, and looks much better than his second son Li Hao.
If Li Yi was still here, maybe we could discuss the situation with him.
Seeing Li Yuyan standing quietly, Mrs. Li became angry, turned her head and said to Li Zong: "Take the prince to the side room for tea."
Hearing what his mother meant, Li Zongfa raised his hand to invite her.
Li Yuye looked at Li Yuyan: "If anything happens, just call me."
Li Yuyan smiled and nodded: "Brother Li, don't worry!"
An old woman, a young woman, can't she still handle it?
Seeing her eldest son walking away with Li Yuye, Mrs. Li said coldly: "Yuyan, what did you do to your third sister today?"
Li Yuyan looked at the lying Li Manting with a smile: "I wonder how the third sister told her in front of her grandmother? Did she say that I took away the calligraphy title of the third sister, or did she say that I threw the jade pendant of Prince Liang?"
Mrs. Li suddenly softened her tone: "Yu Yan, my grandmother tells you the truth, Man Ting and His Royal Highness Prince Liang are in love. That jade pendant belongs to her. Since you have received so many rewards, you should put the jade pendant evenly."
Third sister."
Li Yuyan raised her eyebrows slightly: "Grandma, do you want me to give the jade pendant to my third sister?"
"You can give Jia Jia one thousand and five hundred taels without blinking an eye, so why can't you give Man Ting a jade pendant?" Mrs. Li's face turned pale and she tried her best to suppress her anger, "Speaking of which, Jia Jia and you are just cousins.
Man Ting is your biological sister."
Li Yuyan couldn't help but shook her head secretly: "Grandma said that, Sister Jiajia must be sad. After all, she calls you grandma like us."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li's face turned blue and she said in a deep voice: "You have been in the limelight today and stole Man Ting's leadership. Do you really have my grandmother in your heart?"
"Why did grandma say this?"
The tone of voice was calm, without any fluctuation.
Mrs. Li's face darkened, and her eyes were stern without concealing: "Manting is your sister, don't you know how to respect her? Grandma's words go in one ear and out the other?"
"I'm afraid grandma has forgotten that the third sister is just the daughter of my father's stepmother, and I am his first wife." Li Yuyan smiled brightly, with clear and bright eyes.
Seeing her calm expression, Mrs. Li suppressed her anger and said slowly: "But now you are all the legitimate daughters of our Li family. In terms of age, Manting is one year older than you. You should respect her and listen to your grandmother.
, you give the jade pendant to your third sister. We won’t care about you throwing away a corner of the jade pendant.”
His tone was as kind and gentle as possible, and all the harshness in his eyes was wiped away.
Li Yuyan's face was light and her voice was clear: "Never mind that her status as the legitimate daughter is not as orthodox as mine, today's calligraphy competition, but the third sister repeatedly asked me to take the stage."
Seeing that her words were useless, Mrs. Li's expression immediately changed, her brows were knitted tightly, and the wrinkles on her face were a little deeper.
"You know that your calligraphy skills are higher than Man Ting's, why do you still come on stage? After all, whichever one of you two wins is the pride of our family. Your sister is already known as a talented woman, but now you..."
"Grandma is really good at telling jokes! Third sister wanted me to make a fool of myself on stage, but little did she know that she was hurting herself in the foot." Li Yuyan walked over slowly, leaned slightly and stared into Li Manting's eyes, and said word by word, "So
, I won’t give you the jade pendant!”
Madam Li was so angry that her face turned red. She picked up the teacup at hand and threw it to the ground: "Will you give it to me or not?"
The porcelain pieces shattered and scattered, but Li Yuyan didn't hide at all.
"No—give it!"
The tone was sonorous and there was no room for negotiation.
Li Manting cried even more: "Grandma, the fifth sister also said that she would give the jade pendant to the maid next to her, but she would rather give it to the maid than to me. My granddaughter is willing to spend money to buy it from the fifth sister, wuwuwu..."
Mrs. Li patted Li Manting's back gently with one hand and pointed at Li Yuyan with the other: "Make a price!"
Li Yu smiled: "It's priceless, so I won't sell it!"
After finishing his words, he turned around.
"Li Yuyan, what do you want?" Mrs. Li called her by name and surname from behind.
Li Yuyan didn't look back: "Unless the marriage candidate is exchanged, will my grandmother be willing? The prince is blind, weak, has a hidden disease, and is not going to die soon. If the third sister marries her, she will be a widow."
Hearing this, Mrs. Li turned pale.
Li Yuyan walked to the door, stopped, and turned around: "When my grandmother disliked me for abandoning me, she threw me directly into the shangougou; when she thought I was useful, she brought me back from the shangougou just to marry my third sister.
Now that I have won the title of leader, someone else's grandmother would be very happy. But you think that I robbed the third sister, you are really my good grandmother!"
"Li Yuyan, you..." Mrs. Li was so angry that her fingers trembled and her body trembled, but she couldn't say anything.
"That's it for now, there is no need to say anything else."
After speaking, Li Yuyan turned around and left the house immediately.
Li Yuye, who was sitting in the side room, had been paying attention to the movement here. Just now, he heard the sound of the tea cup breaking and walked over to take a look quietly.
Seeing that she showed no signs of losing at all, she returned to the side room.
At this moment, seeing her come out safe and sound, the indifference between her eyebrows and eyes made him think even more highly of her.
This girl from my family is somewhat similar to his own sister.
Well-founded and eloquent!
This is what the daughter of the Li family should be like!
