The old lady and Lu Zhiyuan did not dare to say a word and could only keep laughing in apology.
Fortunately, the British princess also knew how to behave, and she said a few words that were neither salty nor indifferent, but did not express too much.
After all, it's someone's happy event, so it's better not to make it too ugly.
The happy event ended smoothly without any danger. Lu Zhiyuan sent everyone to the door before turning back to the central hall.
The old lady was scolding Li Xutang, but Li An was also there, saying nice things to the side.
"Aunt, please spare her once. After this incident, Xu Tang must have realized that she was wrong."
The old lady had an angry look on her face, but instead of becoming less angry because of Li An's words, she became even more angry.
"Know that she is wrong? Do you think she seems to know that she is wrong? With so many people watching, if others don't give us shame, we can't wait to lose our face!"
"Qianqian, why did it interfere with your business? You went to lift the hijab during worship. Are you going to rebel?"
After saying this, the old lady coughed.
Lu Zhiyuan looked forward and hurriedly stepped forward to support the person and help the old lady.
"Mother, don't be excited. Ask someone to go to Qianqian's room to apologize. As long as Qianqian can forgive her, that's all."
On the first day of their wedding, it was reported that the eldest lady and the second lady were at odds, which was already embarrassing.
If Li Xutang was punished because of this incident, and his reputation as a doting concubine and destroying his wife spread, it would have an impact on his career.
Lu Zhiyuan didn't want to leave any excuses, but he had to give Wu Qianqian face. After all, there was someone behind her.
After much thought, it was most appropriate for them to resolve matters in the back house themselves.
If Wu Qianqian refused to forgive, outsiders would only say that she was stingy.
If Li Xutang refuses to apologize, it will only make people think that she is jealous.
Anyway, no matter what, it will not affect him.
Lu Zhiyuan's abacus sounded, and Li Xutang was furious.
"You asked me to apologize to her. Who is she? She is just a despicable person..."
Snapped!
Before Li Xutang could finish her words, Li An slapped her in the face, stopping her from saying anything else.
"Confused, you are the eldest lady. How can you not take any responsibility for something you did wrong? Apologize and go now!"
Li Xutang covered his face and looked at his elder brother in disbelief.
Her eldest brother loved her the most and had never hit her, but now he hit her because of such a woman.
"Brother, are you hitting me?"
Li An had a look of hatred on his face. Lu Zhiyuan's abacus was so loud, couldn't she hear it at all?
He planned to take Li Xutang to apologize to Wu Qianqian, but he couldn't go to the bride's room. This was inappropriate.
But Li Xutang was stubborn, and he had no choice but to apologize to Lu Zhiyuan first.
"Brother-in-law should know my sister's temper. She has accepted her death now. It's not that she has any bad intentions. Besides, someone must have provoked her and said something to her to make her confused. I will give it to the second lady on her behalf. I’m sorry, it’s me, the older brother, who failed to educate my younger sister well.”
The uncle apologized sincerely, and Lu Zhiyuan couldn't say anything.
Seeing her nephew lower his head, the old lady pinched her son gently and signaled him to forget it.
After all, they are all a family. Wu Qianqian, with some coaxing, a little girl can't make a difference.
Lu Zhiyuan was reluctant and had no choice but to forget it.
But he still pretended to reprimand Li Xutang. Li Xutang didn't say anything this time, just lowered his head and didn't know what to think.
After reprimanding Li Xutang, Lu Zhiyuan hurried to see Wu Qianqian.
Li An took Li Xutang back to the yard.
He asked people to guard outside the yard and called his eldest son.
"Where's your brother?"
The eldest young master of the Li family is a bit dull, so Li An rarely talks to him about things.
He didn't know that such a thing would happen today. When he heard Li An's question, he didn't answer immediately. Instead, he looked at Li Xutang aside and spoke self-righteously.
"Auntie, from ancient times to the present, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines. The ancients said it was a great blessing to enjoy the blessings of the same people. You should not be jealous. Women are jealous. In the words of the ancients..."
"Shut up, where's your brother!"
Li An couldn't stand his son either and scolded him loudly.
The eldest young master of the Li family was startled, looked at his father fearfully, and shook his head.
Li An was a little impatient and turned around and entered the house. Li Xutang saw it and followed him.
The two of them waited until midnight for Li Honglin to come back, but there was still no sign of him.
"problem occurs!"
Li An stood up from the chair and walked out.
Li Xutang calmed down now and pulled his brother.
"Brother, where are you going?"
"I'm going to ask where they hid the people?"
"Brother, maybe Honglin is just playful..."
Li An shook off Li Xutang's hand, glared at her, and warned.
"Don't think that everyone is as stupid as you. Lin'er is arrogant but knowledgeable. He won't play around here!"
Li An left the yard, originally thinking of questioning Wu Qianqian.
Li Honglin went to deal with her. Now that she is missing, it is very likely that the problem lies with her.
But his brother-in-law was newly married, so it was inappropriate for him to break into someone's yard in the middle of the night.
Li An hesitated, then turned and went to the old lady's yard to tell her about Li Honglin's disappearance.
The old lady liked her grandnephew very much, and she was very worried when she heard that he was missing.
"Let someone look for it and call Han Xiao to me."
Lu Hanxiao has many subordinates, so it would be more appropriate for him to find someone.
Si Ning and Lu Hanxiao were called to the old lady's yard in the middle of the night. When the old lady saw the two coming in, she said directly.
"Honglin is missing. Han Xiao, go and lead someone to look for him."
Lu Hanxiao was puzzled, "Such an old man is not a child, so how could he disappear?"
Li An didn't care about anything else and stepped forward to question Si Ning.
"Brother and sister, have you seen Honglin? Where did Honglin go?"
Li Honglin not only has to deal with Wu Qianqian, but also Si Ning.
Both of them are fine, this is wrong!
He asked Si Ning, who also looked puzzled.
"Uncle Li, what do you mean? Why do I need to know the whereabouts of Second Young Master Li? Is he my son?"
Li An was speechless by the question and glared at Si Ning angrily.
Si Ning also looked at him. Li Xutang walked in quickly from outside and pointed at Si Ning and asked.
"It was you who hid my nephew, right? It must be you!"
Lu Hanxiao pulled Si Ning behind him and looked at the person opposite him with cold eyes.
"Second sister-in-law, Uncle Li, your family has lost a child. Should you go to the government or ask your mother for help? What should you do with my wife?"
Li Xutang, "Honglin went to the new house. At that time, Wu Qianqian and Si Ning were the only ones in the new house. We don't care who wants it."
Si Ning stood up and asked with a half-smile.
"Why does he want to go to the new house? He is about fifteen years old. He is a foreigner. The second brother is getting married. What is he going to the new house for?"
