Yu comforted: "Old lady, it's that Ding who was rude, you don't have to mind someone like him..."
The old lady said in a weak voice: "It's also our fault towards others, but her temper is too impatient."
"It's not like that, speaking as if firing a cannon, crackling and popping, without giving us any chance to explain, this is not the demeanor and behavior an official's wife should have..." Yu Shi said indignantly.
The old lady opened her eyes, and her cloudy eyeballs slightly shifted to fall on Lin Lan. She beckoned to Lin Lan, who hastily stepped forward and softly called out: "Grandma..."
"Grandma has rules for us, can we have complaints in our hearts?" The old lady's voice was soft, but the weight of her words was not light.
Lin Lan smiled slightly and said: "How could it be? Sun's daughter-in-law knows that her grandmother is kind and hardworking."
The old lady sighed and seemed somewhat comforted: "It's a simple matter, go down first! Call the mother-in-law."
"It's... just don't get angry again, Grandma, take care of your body." Lin Lan spoke softly to comfort her and took Silver Willow out of the room.
"I think Lin Lan is really good, although she comes from a poor background, she understands etiquette, knows the big picture, and is very enthusiastic." Yu Shi praised, she just casually said it, but Lin Lan made a tea leaf pillow for her that night and sent it over. Today, she came early to give her a massage, and after finishing the massage, she went to pay respects to her own mother-in-law. Yu Shi's good impression of Lin Lan increased greatly.
The old lady sighed: "That's Mingyun himself has a promising future and doesn't need external help, but Ming is different."
The old witch was waiting outside. Lin Lan went forward and gave her a courtesy: "Mother, grandmother, please come in."
Han's expression was calm as he glanced at Lin Lan, then silently walked in.
Lin Lan didn't go far, just waiting outside Chao Hui Tang, in case the old lady fainted again, she would run back and forth.
Before long, Li Ze and Ming Yun hurried back.
"Lan Lin, what are you doing here?" Li Mingyu saw Lan Lin standing outside the courtyard and thought she was being punished to stand there, so he hurriedly went up to her. Ye Zi slowly walked over.
Lin Lan first gave Li Ze a salute and said: "The old lady just fainted, now she's awake, inside talking to her mother-in-law and aunt. The daughter-in-law is afraid the old lady will have another accident, so she doesn't dare go far, that's why she's waiting here..."
Li Zha's father heard that his mother had fainted, and his anxious expression became even more severe. Fortunately, she had already woken up, and he was slightly relieved. He asked, "Where is my wife?" Just then, someone hastily called him back, saying that his wife had come to the door making a scene.
Lin Lan said in a low voice: "They've already left, and Eldest Sister has also been taken away."
Li Ze's face turned as black as a pot bottom: "Don't stand here anymore, go to the side hall and sit down." After saying that, he went in first.
Li Ming Yun furrowed his brow, seemingly talking to himself: "How did the Ding family get the news so quickly?"
Lin Lan's mouth slightly curved, silently thinking: Of course it was me, your husband, who made the ghost appear!
"There's no wall that doesn't leak wind!"
Li Mingyun thought for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Let's go! We'll wait in the side hall."
Mr. Han saw the old master return and quickly went to greet him: "Master, your wife took Ruo Yan away and left a message saying she wants a divorce... Look at this mess now, what should we do?"
Li Jingxian's face turned red with rage. If his mother weren't still lying down, he would have blown up on the spot. Li Jingxian's expression turned cold and he said in a chilly tone, "Now you're asking how to make it right? Why didn't you do something earlier? Everyone says that this matter can't be rushed, but you all had to take matters into your own hands..."
Han saw the old master scolding her and said with grievance: "Letting Bi Ruo enter the house is also a temporary measure, it's not possible to let her come to the mansion with a big belly and make a scene, making people laugh. It was also agreed with Ruoyan that after she gave birth to the child, we would think of ways to get rid of her... Who knew that the relatives on that side already knew about it, I still kept my mouth shut..."
Yu didn't participate in this matter and now even more won't go provoke Second Uncle's bad temper, just pretending to be deaf and dumb on the side.
The old lady asked Zhu's mother to help her up, and Zhu's mother made a big pillow for her to lean against.
The old lady said gloomily: "Things have come to this, what's the use of blaming now, we should think of a solution."
"Ah! My mother-in-law doesn't know where she heard the gossip, saying that we mistreat Ruo Yu, but in reality, we treat her like a treasure, afraid of breaking her... But my mother-in-law wouldn't listen to any explanation, only asking if the matter with Bi Ruo was true. She said many unpleasant things, and Ruo Yu just cried... Ah! I knew my mother-in-law had a bad temper, but I didn't know it was this bad."
Li Jingxian suppressed his anger for his mother's sake and said, "Bi Ru is absolutely not allowed to enter the house."
"What if she makes a scene? This shameless woman has no face, no skin, and will do anything. If she affects Master Li's official reputation, our Li family's honor..."
"A dog that truly bites doesn't bark. Can't even handle such a small matter, all those years of skill gone to waste."
Han's face was gloomy, and it wasn't easy to deal with a little cheap person? The key is that the old lady is here, how dare she play tricks in front of the old lady.
"But what about the child in her belly..." Mr. Han muttered.
Li Jingxian's tone became increasingly cold and hard: "We, the Li family, don't need a child born to such a cheap woman. Besides, how long has Ruo Yan been married into our family? It's not like she can't give birth."
The old lady looked disheartened and somewhat heartbroken, after all, it was the Li family's bloodline! She had originally thought of stabilizing the situation first and then making a long-term plan, but now that things have reached this point, the Ding family has made their attitude clear: if they don't resolve Bi Ru's matter properly, they will divorce... It's really not worth it for the sake of a little girl. If Ruo Yan were to leave, where would Ming find such an ideal marriage?
"Jing Xian's words make sense, Autumn Moon. Go tell Bi Ru to give up on this idea. Even if we let her into the family, her life won't be easy. If she's willing to let things go and avoid trouble, our Li family won't treat her unfairly either." The old lady said slowly after weighing the pros and cons.
"Is that so..." Han Qiuyue thought to herself: If this dead girl Bi Ru was so easy to get rid of, she would have been gotten rid of long ago. She's even been sold, but she managed to run back and entangle herself with Ming Xun again.
"As for your in-laws... Jing Xian, Autumn Moon: it's always our fault first, let's go and say some nice words to bring them back!"
Li Jingxian obeyed the way: "Mother doesn't have to worry about this matter, take care of her own body, son has a plan in his heart. Even if it's pouring tea and admitting mistakes, he should admit it. Who made their own son not promising?"
Li Jingxian shot a glance at Han Shi and said indignantly, "Ming Yun has never had such a ridiculous thing happen to him."
Han was almost out of breath, but couldn't utter a word of refutation, and could only grit his teeth in silence. Is Ming Yun going to get away with this nonsense? Just you wait!
The old lady was obviously in a bad mood today, feeling unwell and extremely tired. She lazily waved her hand: "All of you go down! Today's courtesy visit is exempted."
The three of them paid their respects and quietly withdrew, leaving only Zhu's mother to attend to Old Lady.
Li Jingxian shouted as soon as he went out: "Where is that unfilial beast?"
Han's wife cleverly said: "I'll let him chase after Ruo Yan instead."
Li Jingxian's face was ashen: "This damned thing, it can't even accomplish anything but is good at causing trouble."
Yu saw his second uncle's fierce temper and quickly slipped away.
Yinliu looked out at the gate and saw that both the old master and mistress had left, so she hurried back to report.
"Then let's go back first!"
Lin Lan nodded: "I still have something to say when I get back."
Back in the Luoxia residence, the two of them closed the door and Lin Lan said: "This morning, I overheard Old Master Sun from the main house mention that the old witch has probably bought some property. I don't know if it's been finalized or not, but if she succeeds, then...the profits from our family's estate will all become hers."
Li Mingyun touched his forehead and said lightly, "I've known about this for a long time. If it weren't for my uncle intervening, the old witch would have succeeded already."
Lin Lan let out a sigh of relief and clasped her hands together, saying: "It's fine, it's fine. I was just worried that I wouldn't make it in time, which made me anxious all day."
"But what can be blocked for a while cannot be blocked forever. This business is ruined, but there's the next one. The old witch is now in a hurry to help Ming Zhen acquire property." Li Mingyun sighed lightly.
Lin Lans thought: "Otherwise, I'll have to tear off my face and ask the old witch to hand over the profits of these years."
Li Mingyun shook his head: "Is it just like this? Isn't it too easy for her?"
"What should I do?" Lin Lan said anxiously.
Li Mingyu looked at her wrinkled nose and worried expression, and couldn't help but laugh: "If we let the old witch lose money in our hands, then we'll ask her for silver again. I wonder if she'll be furious?"
Lin Lan's eyes lit up and her eyebrows relaxed, she smiled and leaned in: "So you already have a wonderful plan! Tell me quickly, I want to hear it."
Li Mingyun squinted at her: "Am I very old?"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "Just a little bit, only a little older than me." She then quickly handed over the hot tea again: "You have some tea!"
Li Mingyu smiled and pinched her nose, saying: "In other respects, the Ye family may not be good enough, but if it's about business, the Ye family still has some tricks up their sleeve. After all, I have half of the Ye family's blood in me, just wait and see! This greedy old witch will definitely join in obediently."
"Hey! Stop teasing me, okay? Hurry up and tell me, what's going on?" Lin Lan urged impatiently.
Li Mingyun's eyes showed a sly look: "Can't say, can't be said!"
Lin Lan was eager to scratch him, her big eyes staring menacingly as she threatened: "Are you going to say it or not?"
Li Mingyuan laughed loudly and pulled the gasping Lin Lan into his arms, biting her earlobe and saying in a low voice: "There's a reward, I'll tell you."
Lin Lan gave him a hard push, her face puffed up with anger: "No reward for you, but punishment is in store. You're sleeping on the kang tonight."
"Madam, you have a ruthless heart."
Lin Lan rolled her eyes and ignored him, so Li Ming had to surrender: "Actually it's very simple. Nowadays in Shanxi, everyone is mining coal. Many wealthy people in the capital are investing together to open coal mines there. It's a lucrative business that brings in a lot of money every day. Many people in the capital have tasted the sweetness and gotten hooked. How could the old witch not be tempted?"
Lin Lan said: "In other words, cheat the old witch out of her money and then give her a useless mine?"
Li Mingyu shook his head: "It's just letting her think it's an abandoned mine."
Lin Lan's face lit up with excitement: "Let the old witch think it's an abandoned mine, and then figure out a way to buy the mountain at the lowest price?"
Li Mingyun nodded her forehead: "Stupid..."
Lin Lan was shocked, how did she become so stupid?
