Seeing that he was silent, Mrs. Li sighed in her heart and said earnestly: "You are good at everything, but your ears are too soft. Even if there are two women, neither one can take charge of the matter. Do you think you have failed or not?"
"If I don't come back, the huge Prime Minister's Mansion will be evacuated, and you won't even know it."
Liu Huai'an held her hand and said touchingly: "Mother, mother is already old. Not only can she not be able to live her old life with peace of mind, but she also has to break her son's heart all the time. The son is ashamed of his mother."
Li said gently: "I'll be satisfied if you have this intention."
Liu Huaian pulled her and asked, "What mistake did Shishi make that made her mother beat her like this?"
Speaking of this matter, Mrs. Li made a face: "Huh! This girl is eating and drinking in my house before she even comes out. It's not too much to teach her a lesson."
Liu Huai'an gathered his courage and continued to ask: "What about Xuezhi?"
Mrs. Li reacted: "Are you afraid that I will beat your little girl?"
Liu Huaian said nothing.
Mrs. Li sighed: "Why don't I know that the little girl can't move? But I really hate that iron can't be made into steel! Tell me! How do you discipline your wife? You almost let her ride on your neck to shit and pee. Got it!"
Liu Huaian knew that she was still angry about me kicking him. Fortunately, it was nothing serious, otherwise he wouldn't know what he would do to me.
He carefully probed: "Then you didn't do anything to her, right?"
Mrs. Li glared at him: "Look what you said, what can I do to her? Isn't it just a few hungry meals as punishment?"
Liu Huai'an had a headache after hearing this, and said kindly to Mrs. Li: "Mother, please stop meddling in the affairs between your son and the two women. These troubles are all caused by your son, so let your son suffer."
When Mr. Li heard this, he refused to let her take charge? That’s okay!
She had worked hard for decades, forced her daughter-in-law to become a mother-in-law, and finally had her day, but in the end she was not allowed to control it?
She raised her eyebrows and scolded Liu Huai'an: "What's wrong? Did I make a mistake when I came back? Or is my son too old to be controlled by his mother? His wings have become stiff and he wants to fly!"
As she spoke, Mrs. Li's eyes turned red, and she started to cry while pointing at Liu Huai'an: "You lost your father when you were ten years old. Is it easy for me, a widow, to drag you up like this? Now that you have a woman, you have forgotten your mother. Are you worthy of me?" Years of hard work?"
Seeing her crying and bursting into tears, Liu Huai'an was worried that she was too excited, so he quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "How can my son dare to say anything bad about his mother? If there is no mother, how can there be Huai'an?" Today? Even if Huai'an says something bad about anyone, he can't say anything bad about his mother."
After finally coaxing Mrs. Li, Liu Huai'an continued: "No matter what, mother is doing it for the good of the family, but the method is too strong and unacceptable."
Ms. Li asked him with red eyes: "How can we establish rules without using hard means?"
Liu Huai'an turned around and poured her a new cup of green tea in person, and said kindly: "Mother, don't you know the truth that everything must be reversed? If you push the people in the house into panic, there may be some trouble. Mother should consider the overall situation. Peace is the most precious thing."
Li asked humbly: "Then what should I do to manage the house well without losing people's support?"
Liu Huai'an advised: "I'll give you some sweetness first, and then some punishment. I'll give you both kindness and power. It'll be a two-pronged approach. Over time, I'll naturally obey you."
After hearing this, Mrs. Li suddenly said, "What about the secret food at the house yesterday?"
Liu Huai'an took the opportunity to offer a suggestion: "Rather than making the people in the house panic, why not just let the other party go and pretend not to see it? When the time comes, when the other party relaxes, why don't you just catch them all in one go?"
Li was extremely satisfied with Liu Huai'an's advice and decided to do as he said.
Taking advantage of the rare pleasant conversation between mother and son, Mrs. Li started again: "Have you asked a doctor to see it these days? It's nothing serious, right?"
Liu Huai'an rarely felt embarrassed: "It's nothing serious, just don't worry, mother."
Mrs. Li added: "I'm not telling you, for a grown man to coerce a young girl like this would be looked down upon by others. If you want to consummate a marriage with someone, you have to be sweet with your mouth, be diligent with your hands and feet, and spend more time with your thoughts. Aren’t people yours?”
Liu Huaian accepted the teachings with an open mind.
He was so angry with me at that time that he insisted on giving me a look. Unexpectedly, he bumped into the barrel of the gun.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Li cleared her throat and changed the subject: "The 15th of this month is a good day. The Empress Temple on the outskirts of the city is said to be the most efficacious. You can bring Zhi Yatou there to pay homage and try to get the Empress to deliver her children as soon as possible. You big fat boy."
In order to appease her, Liu Huaian had no choice but to agree to her.
Originally, he wanted to find an excuse to reconcile with me. It would be best if he could coax me into changing my mind and agree to give him a son. In this way, all the problems would be solved.
Mr. Li will not make trouble to ask him for an heir, so he will not force me.
After I give birth to my son, I can use my son to tie me tightly and make me give up on the wild men outside.
It can also make Dai Shishi die of her desire to use her son to gain power.
It can be said that as long as my side of the situation is broken, a win-win situation can be achieved for all parties.
As the prime minister, Liu Huaian would not fail to see the pros and cons.
I enjoyed the cool air in the yard, lying on the deck chair, shaking the cattail leaf fan in my hand, and from time to time I asked Huaizhu to clean up the traces of last night.
Huaizhu had already heard the rumors about Dai Shishi being beaten to death and came back to tell me.
I was worried that Dai Shishi would spread her grievances on me and take the opportunity to make things worse for Mrs. Li about me and Huaizhu starting a small stove, so I asked Huaizhu to clean the whole yard inside and outside.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
I stopped and winked at Huaizhu.
Huaizhu wiped her hands with a handkerchief, stuffed the handkerchief into her sleeves, then straightened her clothes and went to open the door.
The person who came was indeed Mrs. Liu.
Huaizhu and I understood that it was Mr. Li who came to find out the truth.
I saw Mother Liu coming to me with a smile on her face: "I have met Madam."
I nodded and asked, "I wonder why Mother Liu comes to my Xiaoxiang Courtyard?"
While talking to me quickly, Mother Liu looked around quietly with a pair of shrewd eyes: "It's nothing important. The old lady just sent her servant to ask if there is anything special that Madam likes to eat these days, so that others can be served as soon as possible." The ladies go out and get ready."
I smiled and replied: "Thank you, old lady, for your kindness. Huaizhu and I are grateful."
I saw her making excuses to talk nonsense while looking around with a stern look, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, when she came to the door, the whole yard had been cleaned again.
Even if she took a magnifying glass and looked at it now, she wouldn't be able to see any clues.
Sometimes it's quite sad to think about it. Not only will the wife of the prime minister be artificially starved, but she will also be held back even if she eats something. She wants to spit out her overnight meal to prove her innocence. It's really frustrating.
Mother Liu didn't find anything against me, so she had no choice but to leave with a smile on her face.
Huaizhu patted his chest beside him and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's a good chance. Miss is wise and knows how to prepare for a rainy day. Otherwise, when she finds the evidence, we might get beaten by the old lady like that little bitch. I think we will do the same." It’s better to stop making small fuss this time.”
I heard what Huaizhu said made sense, so I nodded to her and said, "Let's go out to eat as much as possible from now on."
Huaizhu felt that I was even more rebellious, and hurriedly came forward to cover my mouth, and stamped her feet: "Miss, what nonsense are you talking about again? The last time we went out to have a meal, we didn't make enough jokes. The whole capital was scolding me." As for you, even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about the master and his wife."
