I pulled Huaizhu's hand down and said kindly, "Don't worry about it, I have my own sense of discretion."
Huaizhu looked at the sky sadly: "My lady, how can I win the favor of the prime minister and the old lady if this continues? If I can't win their favor, what's the difference between living under someone else's roof and going to jail?"
I was too lazy to argue with her about this topic, so I sat back on the recliner. The early summer noon was still a bit cool, and the breeze was blowing, which made me feel comfortable.
Huaizhu came to me and knelt down, picked up the cattail leaf and shook it at me. She persuaded me kindly: "Why don't you and the Prime Minister lower your heads and admit your mistake? This matter will be over." , we don’t have to go hungry anymore.”
After hearing what she said, I almost jumped out of my chair, and my good mood disappeared.
I? Admit your mistake to Liu Huaian?
There is no way!
He used violence against me and I didn't even bother to settle the score with him afterwards. How could I just admit my mistake to him? !
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Huaizhu saw my expression change, holding back her anger and looking ready to attack, so she shut up.
I couldn't bear it anymore and said with a cold face: "It's impossible to admit a mistake unless he comes to me to admit it."
What I said next almost shocked Huaizhu.
I continued: "Besides, I did say a few bad words about him in front of the old lady, but that kind of operation can at best be regarded as slander, rumor, and nonsense. It does not involve personal attacks. At most, it can be regarded as reputational infringement."
"But what did he do to me? In the smallest case, it is called harassment, and in the worst case, it is rape. In some modern countries, it would be cut off and cured."
"Liu Huai'an treated me hard just because I was his wife. I'm not her wife, so why should he touch me?"
"Is there any more royal law? Is there any more law?"
Seeing that I was getting more and more excited as I spoke, Huaizhu was worried that I would faint from anger, so she hurriedly waved her cattail leaf fan at me, and softly comforted me: "Miss, calm down, madam, calm down, the worst is that I will never say such stupid things again." Sorry, don't get so angry, it's not worth it."
I gradually calmed down, sighed and said to Huaizhu: "If you always think about living by pleasing others, what is the difference between it and a dog raised by others?"
Huaizhu asked me aggrievedly: "Then what should we do?"
I asked her: "Wolves eat meat and dogs eat shit. Do you want to be a wolf or a dog?"
Huaizhu almost cried at my words: "Can I choose neither option?"
I raised my eyebrows: "I think you are a little white rabbit."
"Ah?" Huaizhu didn't respond.
I explained: "Vegetarian."
Huaizhu's brain was almost in knots after being fooled by me. She didn't understand what a wolf or a dog was. She only knew that the most important thing was for me to live happily.
You must know that in this era where husband is the most important thing, husband is more important than everything else.
It is closely related to your own happiness, anger, sorrow, food and clothing, so you must try your best to win favor.
Only by firmly grasping a man's heart can you get what you want.
Under the brainwashing of this feudal dogma, she has a deep-rooted concept of male superiority and female inferiority. I can't blame her, I can only say that she can enlighten her slowly.
After Liu Huaian left Yangxinyuan, he went to Wutongyuan.
When I entered the door, I saw Yurao still applying medicine to Dai Shishi.
Dai Shishi happened to wake up too. After seeing Liu Huaian, tears of grievance burst out from her eyes.
Liu Huai'an signaled Yu Rao to go down first. He came to sit on the edge of Dai Shishi's bed, took her hand and said softly, "These days have been really hard on you."
Dai Shishi pulled his hand to her cheek and said hoarsely: "As long as there is still a place for Shishi in Prime Minister's heart, Shishi will not be bitter."
Liu Huaian felt the bun-like cheeks and felt guilty in his heart: "Don't worry, I have already contacted the old lady. She will not make things difficult for you during this period of time."
Dai Shishi nodded, and then asked expectantly: "Then Shishi doesn't have to sweep the courtyard anymore?"
Liu Huai'an didn't mention this matter to Li at all. Now that Dai Shishi asked, he could only speak vaguely: "It's only been a few months. It can be regarded as a further understanding of the affairs of the prime minister's house. It really can't be swept away. You can also ask Yurao to help you."
Dai Shishi thought that he was not disobedient to the Li family, so she had no choice but to feel sad.
However, in order to compensate her, Liu Huaian personally ordered the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and accompanied Dai Shishi to lunch.
By the time we came out of Wutong Courtyard, it was already afternoon.
After much thought, he decided to come to my place to have a look.
When he knocked on the door, Huaizhu thought it was Liu's mother who had left and returned, so she went to open the door nervously. When she saw it was Liu Huaian, she quickly saluted: "I have met the prime minister."
"Well, where is your young lady?" Liu Huaian asked as he walked inside.
I sat on the lounge chair in the corridor under the eaves, the cattail leaf fan in my hand swaying gently, and without raising my head I said, "I wonder what the purpose of the Prime Minister's visit is?"
Liu Huai'an naively thought that I had suffered some huge injustice from Mr. Li, and would throw myself into his arms and cry when I saw him. Unexpectedly, I didn't say anything as if nothing was wrong, and looked more and more relaxed. .
I asked Huaizhu to go back to his room to avoid Liu Huaian's anger again.
Then he gave him a bad look and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, say it quickly."
Liu Huai'an was already numb with my anger, and said expressionlessly: "On the 15th of this month, I will take you to the Empress Temple to worship. Remember to clean up then."
I looked at him with a sneer. There has been no movement from my side for so many years. It’s just that the old lady doesn’t know. He can’t not know, right? What are you pretending to be here?
Liu Huai'an saw that I was sneering and said impatiently: "There is no need to discuss this matter. If you don't want to go, you have to go!"
I calmly sat across from him, waving the cattail leaf fan: "It's not impossible to go with you, I have a condition."
Liu Huai'an knew that I wouldn't give in so easily, so he asked me angrily: "As long as it's not too much, I will promise you the truth."
I continued: "I want to take Huaizhu with me to stay in the Empress Temple for a few days."
When Liu Huaian heard this, he retorted anxiously: "Impossible!"
I said to Huaizhu: "Zhuzhu, come out and see the guests off."
"Wait a minute!" Liu Huai'an raised his hand to stop him and bargained with me: "It's okay to stay for a few days, but the premise is that my personal servant will follow you."
I readily agreed: "Deal."
It wasn't until Liu Huai'an left that Huaizhu asked me: "Miss, what are your plans? Why did you think of going to the temple to stay for a few days?"
I replied: "I want to be pure and comfortable."
Huaizhu looked at me doubtfully, was he really just going out to feel at ease?
On the 15th, the spring scenery was sultry and the sun was shining brightly.
Under Huaizhu's service, I changed into a pink and white dress, and my hair style was also changed into a peony bun. I was sent to the carriage surrounded by Uncle Fu and other women.
Dai Shishi was wearing coarse linen clothes and a thorn hairpin on her head, dressed as a rough lady. She was sweeping with a broom. When she saw me and Liu Huaian getting into the carriage and leaving, her jealous heart almost broke into eight hundred petals. .
Yurao didn't dare to provoke her, so he had to sweep the floor and pretend not to see her.
In the nursing home, Mrs. Li asked Liu’s mother: “Is the person gone?”
Mother Liu replied: "Hey, I just went there."
Mrs. Li sighed: "My biggest wish now is to be able to hold the big fat boy in my arms as soon as possible."
Mother Liu comforted her: "The prime minister and his wife are both exquisite people, how could they not know what the old lady is thinking? Just wait to have your grandson."
Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief and thought, after all the hard work she has done, there is no way my stomach will not be satisfied, right?
