Everyone was aware of the situation and asked people to stand up to see if Li Qingyi and Qin Zeng were dead or alive.
Afraid of being unable to suppress their anger, Jian Lan and others lowered their heads.
Mother Jiang showed a troubled look, stepped forward and took Mother Tong a few steps away, and whispered: "To be honest, sister, our girl gets very angry when she wakes up, and we don't dare to go in and call someone..."
"Ah?" Mother Tong was stunned for a moment, then frowned, "Now that grandma is married, you and I are also one family. If one family doesn't speak the same language as the other, don't blame me for being talkative. I've already listened. It is said that the Li family is very doting on the eldest grandma. I didn’t expect that she would be so doting on her, but how can being a daughter at home be the same as being a wife? If you say something that is offensive to the ears, isn’t that making people laugh at you?”
Mother Jiang looked embarrassed, "What you are saying is true. I agree with this, but I really don't dare to go. How about I go in and ask? After all, you are someone close to the old lady. Grandma must give some points." Bomian, it will be fine once you get used to the rules of the palace!"
Mother Tong thought to herself that Li Qingyi was so vicious behind his back?
But this is not that unusual. After all, husbands who are rumored to be virtuous often don't even dare to take a concubine.
This reputation is passed on to others.
Just look at the dowry of the eldest grandma, and you can see how much she is favored at home. It is normal for her to have an arrogant and even domineering temper. .
"Okay, let me go in and take a look."
Mother Tong agreed immediately.
Isn't it just right to let her go in and call someone?
Besides, Mr. Qin, the uncle who had just recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, had not moved at all until now. Most likely, they both died together. If grandma gets angry when she wakes up, who else can she show it to?
Mother Tong walked to the door and knocked tentatively. After waiting for a while, there was no movement inside.
She boldly shouted twice more, "Uncle, Grandma!"
Still no movement.
Mother Tong felt happy, stretched out her hand to push the door open a crack, and squeezed in sideways.
A screen was erected in front of the bed in the inner room to block Tong's mother's gaze. She paused and looked around for a few times, then shouted, "Grandma?"
no respond.
Mother Tong relaxed a little more and walked over on tiptoes. She held the screen with one hand and looked inside.
Li Qingyi was seen wearing a bright red dress, lying on his back on the couch, with his feet hanging under the bed. It looked like he suddenly fell backward while sitting on the edge of the bed.
Mother Tong covered her heart, holding down her racing heart, and carefully looked at the clothes Li Qingyi was wearing. They should be the regular clothes he wore after changing from his big dress last night.
It seems that the person died last night!
But why can’t I see that old man?
She looked around the room to see if Qin Zeng had fallen elsewhere in the room, but she didn't see Li Qingyi open one eye and peek at her secretly.
Li Qingyi held a thin thread in his hand, and the other end of the thread was connected to the screen carved with beaded and jade-carved immortal pavilions.
She watched Woad appear quietly behind Tong's mother, and then gently tugged on the thin thread. The screen was stressed and fell down with a crash!
Mother Tong was startled, and before she could react, she heard an "Oops" behind her.
She turned around and saw a girl standing behind her, and was immediately startled, "You girl, why are you walking without making any movement!"
Silan looked unhappy, "Mother Tong knocked down grandma's favorite screen! I was frightened by you, mother! But it was mother who broke our grandma's screen. How can I compensate you!"
Mother Tong's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked towards the screen. She saw that the jade stones inlaid on the screen had fallen off, and some had cracks.
She thought to herself, my dear, how much money is this worth?
But she thought again, no one on the bed moved despite such a loud movement, they must be dead!
She pointed at the bed: "You girl, something happened to Grandma, and you're still yelling about a screen or not!"
After hearing this, Isatis' complexion changed, and she stepped forward to see Li Qingyi, "Grandma! Grandma?"
no respond!
Silan sat down on the ground and looked at Mother Tong with fear on her face, "Mother Tong, what's wrong with grandma?"
Mother Tong pretended, and said "Ouch" for a long time, "What's going on! Come here quickly! Grandma is out of breath!"
As she spoke, she secretly opened the bamboo plug hidden in her sleeve.
Ji Lan looked at her little movements and sneered in her heart. She looked up and said to Li Qingyi, "Huh? Grandma, are you okay?"
"Who is disturbing people's dreams with such a loud voice!" Li Qingyi got up from the bed with an angry look and slapped him away.
With a sharp flash of woad, Tong's mother was slapped on the face!
Mother Tong let out an "ouch", and she didn't know whether she was frightened by Li Qingyi's fake corpse or was slapped by this slap!
Li Qingyi frowned, "This is... the mother next to the old lady? What are you doing in my room? Oh, my screen was given by the Queen!"
Mother Tong's whole body was trembling, and she looked at Li Qingyi with questions in her head, "Big...grandma...you, are you not dead?"
Li Qingyi said angrily: "I think you are the one in front of the old lady, so I am polite to you, but you don't know what is good and you curse me to death so early in the morning?"
Mother Tong's breathing was trembling and her head was confused. It seemed that something was wrong with the centipede.
At this time, Qin Zeng came in from outside with his sword in hand. Looking at the mess in the house, he said coldly: "What happened?"
Hearing his voice, Tong's mother felt sweat on her forehead. Just as she was about to defend herself, several screams suddenly came from the door.
Everyone looked back and saw the girls in the yard jumping around and shouting, "Oh, there's a centipede, hurry up, hit it with rocks..."
"Why is this one so long? Don't let it crawl on you! It's disgusting! Get out of the way!"
"Run away, run away! Run out!"
Li Qingyi secretly laughed in his heart, her girls are really good at making things out of nothing, and they act so alike!
Mother Tong was frightened. She would rather trample this thing to death than let it run away to other places in the house, but it is a life-threatening matter! She raised her legs and was about to rush out, but Woad grabbed her.
"Mother Tong, where are you going? You broke our grandma's screen and cursed her to death, so you just want to run away!"
Mother Tong was anxious, but she couldn't get rid of the woad, so she stamped her feet in anger.
Qin Zeng and Li Qingyi exchanged glances.
It is now certain that Mother Tong is the one who came to collect the centipedes. She must have been the one who knocked out a crack in the wall on the wedding day.
However, the two of them did not intend to expose Mama Tong, but wanted to find out through Mama Tong whether the person who instigated her behind the scenes was Princess Zhenbei.
In addition, Mrs. Gongsun must be a stumbling block for Li Qingyi. Why not strike first? Since Mother Tong can be won over by others, why can't she also be won over by her?
However, ordinary means cannot win over an old man like Mother Tong.
Li Qingyi raised his chin slightly and looked at Mother Tong with a sneer.
