Chapter 5

The huge movement downstairs aroused Jiang Lecheng's curiosity.

He stood up again, and saw Li Yuyan comforting a little girl who was crying like a tabby cat in her arms, and the surrounding crowd applauded.

Ye Yiheng sat back in his original position and took a sip of his wine.

No matter how good-hearted Li's daughter is on the surface, she can't stop the fact that she is forced upon him by the old man of the emperor, let alone the fact that she is the careful work of a virtuous concubine!
However, to be able to rescue people in front of such a fast carriage, it seems that she has some skills.

Heh, Concubine Xian really worked so hard to find someone with good skills to be his concubine.

At this time, a woman wiped her tears and picked up the little girl, and thanked Li Yuyan a thousand times: "Thank you for saving my life!"

While talking, he must take Li Yuyan to her house for dinner.

"No need, it's nothing more than a little effort." Li Yuyan nodded slightly and left the crowd.

After watching the excitement, Jiang Lecheng took his seat again and murmured: "To be honest, the girl from the Li family is a pretty good person."

Ye Yiheng: "How about giving her to you as your wife?"

The voice was cold and calm, without waves or ripples, as if talking about an unimportant person.

Jiang Lecheng, who was familiar with him, shuddered, and his heart froze: "Don't!"

When Li Yuyan returned to Li Mansion, his father stopped him when he passed the hall.

"Do you still know how to come back? I left the palace earlier than me, why did I get home first?"

"Master, calm down, children always have the disposition to play, and my concubine also liked to hang out on the street when I was young." Feng Shi comforted, "Yuyan, have you had lunch outside?"

"Hmph, you still speak for her! A girl who is about to get married, still have the nerve to hang out in the street?"

"Master, Yuyan has not been in Beijing for five years. The prosperity of the capital is naturally attractive."

The corners of Li Yuyan's lips twitched slightly, and Feng comforted her on the surface, but in fact she insinuated that she was ignorant and didn't look like a lady at all.

"Don't speak for her!" Li Zongfa turned his face to the side and asked angrily, "Let me ask you, why did you refuse the marriage just now?"

"Didn't the father also see his daughter's ugly face at that time? Although His Royal Highness is blind, the daughter knows that she can't match her, so I ask the emperor to take back the order."

"The emperor made a decree, is he still negotiating with you? Besides, a gentleman's words are hard to follow. What you said just now was too reckless. I will punish you to kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights for my father."

"Father knows how this marriage came about. It was not my marriage, so you asked your daughter to marry on your behalf. My daughter just told the truth, so what's wrong?"

He was afraid that the emperor would change the candidate back, after all, Li Manting was his favorite.

Li Yuyan could personally feel the disappointment and despair when the original owner was abandoned five years ago.At that time, the original owner was poisoned. Under such circumstances, how painful it must have been for her at such a young age.

"Bastard, don't go to the ancestral hall yet!" Li Zongfa's face changed a few times, obviously very angry, and he said loudly to the door, "Come here, take Fifth Miss to the ancestral hall!"

Strong women came over immediately, trying to drag Li Yuyan away.

Miao Zhu hastened to protect her young lady.

How does Miaozhu's small body compare with these strong women?
Patting her on the shoulder lightly, Li Yuyan turned to look at Li Zongfa, with a cold smile on her lips under the veil: "I will go by myself."

His eyes swept over Feng Shi who was pretending to be at the side, and Li Yuyan lowered her long eyelashes to hide the coldness that flashed in her eyes.

Feng Shi knew very well what Li Yuyan was like in the mansion five years ago.

Soft-spoken, timid and fearful, with a good skin, the Wei family made a baby marriage early.You know, five years ago, their Li family was not the Marquis's mansion, and the Wei family was already the Shangshu's mansion.

The only time Little Hoof uttered harsh words in memory was the day when he was kicked out of the Hou Mansion.

Now that the good skin is gone, she has become sideways.

Just then Li Zong sent back to the mansion and told Feng how ugly his daughter's face was when he saw it in the hall.

Feng frowned, could it be that her appearance was ruined, which made her more courageous?

In the ancestral hall, the mothers-in-law stared at the master and servant kneeling in front of the tablet.

The women didn't leave until it was getting dark.

He didn't eat lunch, and it was past dinner time, Miao Zhu's stomach was rumbling non-stop.

"Miss, are you hungry?" Miao Zhu crossed her kneeling legs and took out a lot of food from her purse and pocket.

"You take it with you." Li Yuyan smiled gratifiedly.

When they first arrived at Shangougou, the two of them didn't have enough to eat.From then on, Miaozhu developed the character of not wanting her to be hungry, and would hide some food anytime and anywhere.

"If Mrs. Xian knew that the young lady was bullied on the first day she returned to Beijing, she would definitely be heartbroken." Miao Zhu took out a piece of candied fruit and stuffed it into the young lady's mouth. He only took a small bite of the pastry and put it back.

Li Yuyan put the pastry back into her hand: "Eat more, I'm not too hungry."

"Miss!" Called, Miao Zhu's teardrops fell down, and he quickly sniffed, "I'm afraid no one will come to deliver food in the past three days, I'd better eat half of it."

"You just eat, if no one will let us out later, I will take you out." After saying that, Li Yuyan knelt down on the futon piously and kowtowed a few times to her mother's memorial tablet.

Seeing this, Miaozhu kowtowed in style.

As the child approached, footsteps could be heard outside the ancestral hall.In the dead of night, the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.

The master and servant hurriedly put away the food and knelt down again.

It turned out that Li Manting brought someone here.

"Sister, get up quickly and go back to your room to rest."

The voice is delicate.

The maid next to her interjected, "It was our third miss who begged the master to let the fifth miss out, and the third miss was punished by the master for this."

"I want you to talk more." Li Manting turned her head to reprimand the servant girl, and then turned to face Li Yuyan, her eyes showing concern just right.

It's just that the fleeting viciousness in those eyes was caught by Li Yuyan carefully.

Since they can pretend, so can she.

"Is the third sister injured somewhere, or is the third sister going to kneel for her younger sister?" Li Yuyan was supported by Miaozhu to get up, and the two swayed in a tacit understanding.

Obviously caused by kneeling for a long time.

Li Manting smiled softly: "That's not true, my father just punished me for copying."

"What's the point of that?"

"I often practice calligraphy on weekdays. It's okay. My sister didn't like to read and write since she was a child. Five years in the mountains may be a waste of her studies. It's good that my sister can take care of it."

While speaking, Li Manting stared at her face with "concern", as if she wanted to stare a hole in her veil.

Li Yuyan smiled: "Thank you, Third Sister."

After a few chatters, the two went back to the hospital.

Qingyu lived in the house, Zhao's mother distressedly told her young lady and Miaozhu to eat more.

Li Yuyan ate some food, and then said softly: "Mother Zhao, please go to the back alley of the East Palace to chat with someone for a day and gossip, and say that the fifth lady of the Li family is delicate and weak, and she knelt down in the ancestral hall." It's too late."
