Ruan paused after saying this and glanced at Li Qingyi.
Li Qingyi immediately raised his ears, "Is there really something I don't know?"
Ruan looked at her in surprise, "It's not that anyone intentionally hid it from you, it's just that you are a junior and have absolutely no reason to focus on your parents' mistakes. After all, it is not a good thing. Who would take the initiative to mention it to you? Your grandmother must know better than Didn’t I say a word about me?"
Li Qingyi said anxiously: "I know this. Second Auntie, just tell me whatever you know."
"Actually, there is nothing that cannot be said, but you have never asked about these things before."
Mrs. Ruan paused and said, "After I married into the Li family, your father has been bedridden and never left the yard. I have never even seen him. Not many people can see him. He is surrounded by servants. Not counting, except for your grandparents and your second uncle, you are the princess."
"Has she really been taking care of my dad herself?"
Ruan nodded, "After your father was injured, the princess did not cry and cry. You also know...it is impossible for your mother's temperament to show such a side in front of others."
Li Qingyi also admitted this, "That's true."
"She usually handles the middle-aged children and takes care of trivial matters. Although her skills are unfamiliar, it can be seen that she is studying very hard. Perhaps because of her status, everyone in the house respects and fears her. Your grandmother usually rarely Ask her to talk to you. Of course, it's not that your grandmother doesn't like her, but that the princess is not good at getting along with others. She always has a cold face and uses toughness to disguise herself. In fact, I don't think she has a good heart. Damn it, otherwise, when she said she would take you to the capital, I wouldn’t have agreed, right?”
"In other words, when she was in the Li family, she was considered a good wife and daughter-in-law?"
Ruan nodded, "I heard that after she was busy with the things in the house every day, she would also go to massage your father's acupuncture points. Later, when I became familiar with the things in the house, she immediately handed over everything to me and devoted herself to it. Regarding your father's recovery, as for how she took care of your father, I, as a bride, can't ask my eldest uncle and eldest sister-in-law what's going on in their house... You don't know about your second uncle yet, if I don't ask, He won’t say much. Besides, I don’t think he knows the details of the princess’s private life with your father.”
Li Qingyi's heart trembled, "What happened next?"
"Your father suffered this misfortune at a young age and suffered a great blow. Fortunately, you are still there. When the princess was busy during the day, she asked the nanny to hold you and stay with your father. She must be afraid of your father. She is disheartened and has no thoughts, which shows her intentions. Let me tell you, the princess does not necessarily have no feelings for your father. Even if she later abandons you and remarries, it cannot erase all her benefits. Your grandmother Didn't you say a bad word to the princess?"
Li Qingyi frowned when he heard this: "When did the princess leave the Li family?"
Ruan said: "After your father's legs gained some feeling, the princess was very happy and went to Dapudu Temple to fulfill her vow. After that, there were bad rumors outside..."
Li Qingyi interrupted her, "What are the rumors? Can Second Aunt be more specific?"
Ruan glanced sideways at her, feeling that it was not easy to tell her this matter, but seeing that her niece asked so urgently, there must be something crucial, so she considered: "When the princess went to Dapudu Temple, someone saw her with a man. There is contact. For a married woman to have contact with a foreign man, it is inevitable that people will think about it. In addition, your father's affairs are already attracting people's attention. As word spreads, it becomes the princess stealing someone behind your father's back. ..."
Li Qingyi felt his blood surge in his heart: "The princess got sick after that?"
"Three people are like tigers. They can tell things that are not true as if they have witnessed it with their own eyes. The princess has such a fiery temper and suffers such a dumb fate and cannot clarify. How can I not be sick? If I am also angry to death . Then, the Queen Mother must have known about this matter. She probably didn’t want to see the princess being wronged, so someone immediately came to pick her up with a very tough attitude.”
Li Qingyi asked: "How did the Queen Mother tell her grandmother when she came to pick her up? Although the princess has the most noble status, she is the daughter-in-law of the Li family after all."
Ruan shook her head, "I don't know about that. The person here only talked to your grandmother, and no one else was around."
"So, the second aunt doesn't know whether my father died before the princess left or after he left.
of? "
Ruan was stunned, "What are these words?"
Li Qingyi asked another question: "After the princess fell ill, the queen mother took her away, and then the news of my father's death broke out?"
Ruan nodded.
"Does Second Aunt know how my father died?"
"I don't know, the government announced that your father died of a sudden illness, but I only glanced at your father from afar when he was dying. Your father's death was a pain point for everyone in the Li family. I just married in at that time. How long, how dare you ask? Later, your grandmother took you into her own house to raise you, and no one would mention these things to you."
Li Qingyi frowned, "It seems that I can only ask my second uncle about this matter."
Ruan noticed something was wrong, but didn't rush to ask. He said, "Your second uncle won't be able to return home until he gets off duty at night. Let's go back to the yard to settle down first."
The two of them were talking while walking towards Qinghuai Courtyard. Li Qingyi asked Wei Jin'er, "Is she still safe here?".
"Maybe I feel uneasy and there is no one around me who can talk to me, so I just keep guarding that girl."
"Chen Shuang hasn't woken up yet?"
"No, the injury was so serious. I don't even know if he is alive or not. How could he wake up so quickly?"
Li Qingyi chuckled lightly, "I thought Wei Jin'er thought that she was a person in heaven, but I didn't expect that she could still be interested in my own girl."
Ruan said with a smile: "Don't you think Wei Jin'er is just like your mother? She has her eyes high and her heart is arrogant. She hates others being better than herself, but she still has a bottom line. Unlike some people who don't care about anything when they are bad. "
Li Qingyi knew that she was talking about Lin's mother and daughter, but she did not answer, but asked: "Who does the second aunt think I look like?"
"I don't know much about your father, so I don't know how similar you are to him, but you have a stubborn streak in your bones, which makes you very much like the princess."
Mrs. Ruan looked at her and joked: "You grew up under my nose. I know you best, but you, a little girl, grew up in a pile of blessings. You have never encountered any storms. Look. You looked soft and soft, and I was worried that you would be easily manipulated by your husband's family after you got married. But I never thought that when the princess comes to Yangzhou, you will suddenly become like a hedgehog, pricking people all over your body. Presumably, I don't need to be too much. I’m worried, there are many things that I still need to discuss with you to make decisions.”
Li Qingyi was thoughtful when he heard the words.
She remembered what Princess Yuanheng said to her last night.
I know you are living a good life in the Li family, but I feel that you are living a good life.
There is no way to face the storm when something happens in the future.
How many times have I wanted to bring you to my side, but think about it, there is nothing wrong with enjoying more blessings when you are young...
Isn't this the same mentality as the second aunt?
As a parent, you have far-reaching plans.
Princess Yuanheng was afraid that like her, she was too carefree when she was young and would suffer big losses in the future.
Li Qingyi felt tight all over, dizzy and confused. When he arrived at Qinghuai Courtyard, he wanted to get under the covers and take a nap.
When Li Miaoran and Li Yuanzhi heard that she was back, they ran to the Qinghuai Courtyard like rabbits and were carried out by one of Ruan's ears.
Li Qingyi huddled in the brocade quilt, thinking carefully about what happened after arriving at the Wei family in his previous life.
As the second aunt said, she grew up in a pile of blessings. She has never seen people's hearts as sinister and dirty. She was tricked by Wei Baozhu and Wei Lan'er several times. Her reaction was not to resist, but to seek. Princess Yuanheng’s help.
She is her mother, shouldn't she be protected from wind and rain?
But Princess Yuanheng ignored her and even scolded her, saying she was useless.
When several girls in the Wei Mansion saw that Princess Yuanheng ignored her, their envy and jealousy towards her turned into bullying. She felt that she was alone and helpless, so she gritted her teeth and endured it, hiding desperately, trying her best to leave the Wei Mansion.
The more she acted like this, the worse Princess Yuanheng's attitude towards her became, and the Wei family's bullying of her became even worse, almost falling into a vicious cycle.
Later, Wei Jin'er said that she hated her and didn't want to see her, so Princess Yuanheng sent her to
The family temple.
Now think about it, they sang and sent her away. Looking at it from another perspective, it actually saved her from being bullied by the Wei family again, right?
What is the mentality of this mother and daughter towards her?
