The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 521 Involvement (3)
"Mother, don't be angry. After being hungry for so long, is it uncomfortable? Come on, drink the soup before eating!" Li Jiu hurried in with the food.

The old lady Li put her crutch on the ground hard and said, "If you really had my mother in your eyes, you wouldn't stay away for so long, you wouldn't..."

Li Jiu hurriedly said: "Mother, this is all in the past, am I back now? Mother, eat first, and it's not too late to teach me a lesson after eating!"

The old lady Li was still angry, but now she only had this one son left, so what if she was angry again, she had to follow Li Jiu into the house, drank some soup, ate something simple, and said in a low voice, "You Didn’t you bring back some silver? After the new year, you take that money and go to the city to open a shop, so don’t go to Tiancheng!”

Li Jiu was taken aback, and asked, "Why? Mother, I am very happy in Tiancheng, besides, Hao Ren treats my uncle very well!"

"If you tell me not to go, don't go. I'm your mother, can I still harm you? Last time, if you don't like that woman, you won't marry her. The bride price will be considered a waste of time. When you open the shop, naturally Don’t worry about having a good woman, and when the time comes, marry a wife and have a child, and you will be able to live in peace and stability!” Mrs. Li still said those words, and she has lived in seclusion for so many years, and her thoughts have not changed, although she knows that maybe she will eventually Can't beat that fate!Didn't what happened to Leng Ping happen now?
Li Jiu was afraid that she would offend Mrs. Li again, and Mrs. Li would go on a hunger strike, so she didn't speak any more. She lowered her head silently, scooped the porridge into a bowl, and brought it in front of Mrs. Li.

The pear old lady drank the porridge slowly.

Someone called the door outside, Li Jiu got up quickly and went out.

Standing outside the fence, Hao Shi saw Li Jiu come out, her eyes were a little red.

Although there are many people in the family, she doesn't know who to rely on, she can only think of Li Jiu.

When Li Jiu saw it, she quickly opened the wooden door and came out and asked, "Why is it such a cold day? What's the matter?"

Hao Shi nodded, but at the moment her heart was in a mess, and she didn't know where to start with her worries, she just stared at Li Jiu tightly, unable to say a word.

"It's cold outside, you go into the room and tell me!" Seeing her like this, Li Jiu knew it must be a big deal, so she hurriedly said.

Mrs. Li leaned on a cane and stood at the door of the house, her eyes staring at Hao shi.

Hao Shi looked at Mrs. Li, blessed her body and said, "How is her grandma?"

The old lady Li snorted coldly, "My son regrets his marriage. He has been leaving me as an old lady for more than half a year. How do you think my health will be better?"

Suddenly Hao's face showed embarrassment.

"Mother, what are you doing?" Li Jiu said quickly.

Hao Shi glanced at Mrs. Li, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk about it here!"

Li Jiu also nodded and looked at Hao Shi.

Hao Shi held the wooden door, his joints were a little pale, "It's almost Chinese New Year, Ping'er still hasn't come back, and there is no news, do you think there will be something wrong? Last time you came back, you and Xueliang kept it from me, did Pinger fall and hurt herself?"

Li Jiu rubbed her head in embarrassment, "It's nothing, I just fell, Ping'er is young, it's okay! Besides, I was afraid you would worry, so I didn't tell you!"

Hao Shi said: "I'm more worried if you don't tell me, and you didn't say anything about the princess!"

Li Jiu glanced at Hao Shi, "I can't say anything about this, Ping'er is my niece after all, Ping'er is not as wealthy as a princess, but when Ping'er married into your family, Hao Ren was just a child. Your family is poor and nothing, you can't dislike Ping'er just because Hao Ren is a promising person now, right?"

As soon as Hao Shi heard this, she knew that Li Jiu had misunderstood her, so she hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant. I was worried that Hao Ren's impulsiveness would offend the powerful, and now they have no news. In my heart... don't worry, I will always Pinger is treated like my own daughter, even if Hao Ren gets better in the future, I will not despise Pinger!"

Li Jiu's expression softened a little, and she said in a low voice: "Sorry, I misunderstood, I thought... Hao Ren has always been steady despite his young age, besides, when I left, the matter of the princess had already been settled. , nothing should happen!"

Hao Shi responded, and originally wanted to beg Li Jiu to go back to Tiancheng to have a look, but now seeing the covetous old lady Li, she couldn't say that, after thinking about it, she still left.

Li Jiu watched Hao Shi get into the carriage with a lot of thoughts, hesitated for a while, then stepped forward and said: "If not, I will go to Tiancheng again and bring Ping'er and Hao Dan back! You say these two children, No matter how fun Tiancheng is, it’s almost New Year’s Eve, so you can’t stay there to celebrate the New Year, and don’t think about how worried the elders are at home!”

"Jiu'er!" Hao Shi was about to say something when she heard old lady Li's sinister voice coming from the yard.

"Why don't you serve me dinner? Do you want to starve your old lady to death?" Mrs. Li beat the ground impatiently with her cane, but her eyes were fixed on Hao Shi.

Hao Shi hurriedly said: "It's the end of the year, don't worry about it, I'll just think about it!"

As Hao Shi said, she turned to the old lady Fufu from a distance, then turned around and got into the carriage, and said, "Let's go!"

Mu San was driving the carriage, nodded quickly, and the carriage drove slowly to the outside of the village.

Li Jiu wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Mrs. Li, "Don't go, close the door and wait for me to eat!"

"Mother, what are you doing? Ping'er is not your niece, is she? My younger sister is dead, leaving Ping'er alone, so you don't worry about her?" Li Jiu said displeased.

"I eat more salt than you, and I can see farther than you. Now you think that the Hao family can cling to you, but it may not be the case in the future. You should live your life in a down-to-earth way, so as not to be implicated!" The old lady pear thumped the ground and shouted.

Li Jiu was displeased, "I don't want to cling to Hao Ren because of an official, I think Ping'er is our relative, besides, it's not easy for Hao Renniang to raise three children by herself, she has come to the door, why don't you In this way, will this relative still get along in the future?"

The old lady Li snorted, "If you don't get along, you can't get along, and you will save time and get involved!"

Li Jiu said displeased: "What is involved? Mother, why didn't you say that when you spent the money that Ping'er gave you? Don't forget, most of the betrothal gifts you gave to that woman were also from the Hao family! "

"You bastard, that person got such a big advantage from our family, I think it's too little to give a few taels of silver!" Old lady Li raised her crutch and was about to hit him.

Li Jiu hurried to hide, and the old lady chased Li Jiu into the house, and then closed the door tightly.

On the way back to Taiping Village, Hao Shi was sitting in the carriage, bewildered.
