The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Li's second mother, Fuhui, sat in the room, holding a long sword in her hand, with a cold light flashing in her eyes, waiting for her husband Fan Lianghan to come home.

But she waited and waited, and no one came back after a long time. Li Fuhui even suspected that Fan Lianghan had died outside tonight!

As the night was getting deeper and deeper and Li Fuhui's patience was almost exhausted, the official from the Fan Mansion suddenly ran over.

"Madam, my cousin sent someone to tell me that he is going to entertain distinguished guests tonight. I will accompany them and sleep in Panlou, so you don't have to wait."

"What, staying overnight at Pan's house!?" Li Fuhui stood up with a sword in hand. The frost on his face could freeze the air.

"I'm going to Panlou to pick up Fan Lianghan." Li Fuhui wanted to go out with his sword in hand.

The emperor quickly stopped Li Fuhui and advised: "Young Madam, calm down. My cousin said that Panlou is hosting distinguished guests. If you go there with a sword, it will be bad for the reputation of the Li family.

Your mother and sisters just arrived in Bianjing today, you don’t want to embarrass them, do you? "

Li Fuhui stopped instantly, and his hand holding the sword tightened again and again, until his fingers turned white.

The housekeeper said fearlessly: "As the successor of the Fan family, Young Master will take over all the businesses in the future. It is inevitable that he will occasionally stay out. If you go to meet him with a sword every time, then everyone in Bianjing will know that there is a fierce woman in the Li family."

Li Fuhui bit her lip, wishing she could chop the housekeeper to death with a sword, but she gave up in the end.

The housekeeper glanced at her coldly and said gloomily, "Young Madam, you should go to bed early. You still have to pay your respects to the master and his wife tomorrow."

After saying that, the butler turned around and left. His arrogant attitude made Li Fuhui's maid very angry.

"Miss, Housekeeper Fan is too much. She doesn't take you seriously at all."

Li Fuhui threw away his sword and sighed, "Butler Fan is an old man in the mansion. He has watched Fan Lianghan grow up. What can I do?"

The maid said indignantly: "But after all, she is a servant and you are the master!"

Li Fuhui said sadly: "Oh, don't say it."

The maidservant felt sorry for her young lady and advised: "Young lady, didn't the Madam and the other young ladies come to Bianjing? Why don't you ask them for help?"

Li Fuhui shook her head and said, "My mother and sisters are not living a happy life, otherwise they wouldn't have come to Bianjing. I don't want to trouble them."

The maid wanted to persuade her again, but Li Fuhui had already walked out of the room, came to the yard, squatted on the ground, picked up a stone and put it in her mouth.

Li Fuhui's body began to sob, and she bit the stone with all her strength to suppress her anger and grievance.

When Sanniang Li Kangning and Qiong Nu walked into the yard, they saw the second sister biting a stone.

"Second sister." Sanniang Kang Ning exclaimed in shock.

Fuhui turned around and didn't even notice the blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Third sister, how did you get in?" Fuhui spit out the stone and asked.

Sanniang Kang Ning looked at the stones on the ground and said with complicated eyes: "I bribed the servants of Fan Mansion with money and asked him to inform your dowry maid to sneak in through the back door."

Qiong Nu squatted down to pick up the stone and said distressedly: "Second Mother, what are you doing?"

Fuhui lowered his head in shame.

Sanniang Kang Ning pulled her second sister up and asked seriously, "Is this the kind of life you live in the Fan family?"

Fuhui sighed and said, "Third sister, please leave me alone."

Sanniang Kang Ning said angrily: "We are sisters. How can I ignore you when you are wronged? Come with me to see mother." Fu Hui shrank back and said: "I am too ashamed to see mother."

Sanniang Kangning ignored Fuhui's refusal and pulled her away from the Fan Mansion and went to the inn where the Li family was staying temporarily.

Madam Li and her daughters had not slept all night, waiting in the inn for news of Sanniang's health. Unexpectedly, she brought Fuhui back directly.

Kang Ning handed the stones to Madam Li, and Fuhui's maid brought a small box full of crushed stones.

The Li family members then realized that Li Fuhui's life in marrying far away in Bian Jing was not satisfactory, and could even be said to be depressing.

"Second sister, what is going on?" Wu Niang Leshan was the most unconcerned about things, so she asked:
"Don't you write back to me saying that your second brother-in-law treats you very well?"

When Li Fuhui saw his relatives, he could no longer hold back his grief.

"When my husband and I first got married, we were very much in love. He treated me like a treasure. If there was anything good in Bianjing, no matter how expensive it was, he would find a way to give it to me." Fuhui sighed:
"But as time went by, I realized that the master was easily influenced by his mother-in-law and had no opinions of his own. He also liked to hang out in brothels, listening to music in brothels all day long, and was not doing his job properly."

"Asshole." Madam Li said angrily, "When Fan Lianghan came to ask for marriage, he spoke sincerely and swore that he would only love you and would never take a concubine. Could it be that all lies?"

Second Lady Fuhui explained: "The master has not taken a concubine, but he spends all day with women. I have repeatedly advised him to improve himself and even forced him to study hard with a sword, but it is useless. He is even misunderstood by his mother-in-law as a jealous and fierce woman."

Fu Hui's personal maid was filled with righteous indignation and said, "No one in the Fan Mansion takes the young lady seriously. Even the servants and housekeepers dare to give the young lady the cold shoulder."

"Xiao Lian, stop talking." Fu Hui stopped her.

"Miss, why don't you let me speak? Every time you were wronged in the Fan family, you were afraid of bringing trouble to the family and affecting the reputation of the young ladies, so you endured it in silence. I am speaking up for you."

Madam Li pointed to a box of stones and asked, "What's going on?"

Er Niang Fuhui sighed: "Bite the stone and restrain your jealousy."

Aunt Shouhua felt sorry for her sister and said, "You are afraid that you will be known as jealous and it will make it difficult for us to get married."

Fuhui's eyes reddened and she remained silent, which was considered as her agreement.

Madam Li's face turned cold, and she said unhappily: "You are confused. Do you think that if you endure it, you can make Fan Lianghan change his mind and the Fan family look at you differently?"

Fuhui said aggrievedly: "Mom, I was wrong."

Sanniang Kang Ning wiped away the tears from her sister's eyes and said, "Second sister, don't be afraid. The Fan family is bullying you because you are alone and helpless in Bianjing.

Now that we are here, we will not let you suffer any injustice."

Fu Hui said in embarrassment: "Third sister, you don't know that although the Fan family is a merchant family, Fan Lianghan has a cousin Chai An who is very difficult to deal with!"

"What are you afraid of?" Madam Li said, "When your father died of illness, we were left alone as orphans and widows. The wolves and tigers of the Li family wanted to eat us and wipe us out, but we managed to survive those difficult times."

"Yes." Aunt Shouhua said: "As long as our family is united, there is nothing we can't overcome."

Fuhui was deeply moved when she saw that her sisters were all willing to help her.

"Fan Lianghan will stay at Pan's building tonight on the pretext of entertaining guests. We don't know which woman's bed he will sleep in." Fuhui sighed.

"Second sister, let's go to Panlou and help you bring your second brother-in-law home." Sanniang Kang Ning said firmly.

"That's inappropriate." The old lady shook her head and said, "It's late at night, and it's not convenient for us girls to show our faces in public."

Wu Niang smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? At worst, we can change into men's clothes and go to Panlou to see what he has to offer." (End of this chapter)
