Chapter 120: Head smashed!
Li Qingwan kept it a secret, "You will soon know what will happen to Madam Ji."
"The end?"
Ah Qing was about to say something, but Li Qingwan had a plan for the next step, "How is that woman?"
"woman?"
Ah Qing almost forgot which woman she was talking about, "Madam, you are talking about..."
"How is the woman Sima Yue brought from outside these days?"
She has been very busy these days, dealing with matters both at home and abroad, and has no time to see that woman.
"I heard that she's not well yet, I wonder if she's just pretending?"
"But she is so delicate after falling into the water. How can she keep pretending to be sick? It's time for her to come out."
"Appearance?"
Dusk was falling. Xiuzhu was able to get out of bed in the yard where she lived, but she still didn't want to get down. After all, if she got better, Li Qingwan would come to cause trouble for her.
So, she just lay down and ate the delicious fruit.
"Madam, please stop eating. Madam is here."
"Li Qingwan?"
Xiuzhu didn't expect Li Qingwan to come, so she immediately hid the fruits and then lay on the bed. Li Qingwan had already walked in from outside.
"Is the young master feeling better?"
"Ma'am, why are you here?"
The maid who was taking care of Xiuzhu was naturally very scared when she saw Li Qingwan coming, and Li Qingwan looked at Xiuzhu lying on the bed, "Little Master, are you feeling better?"
"lady……"
She immediately pretended to be very weak and tried to stand up to greet Li Qingwan, but Li Qingwan just sat down beside the bed. Her face was rosy. Was she well now?
"The young master looks good, should he be alright?"
When Xiuzhu heard that they were looking for her to go back and be a maid, she was unwilling to do so and planned to continue pretending to be sick, "Madam, I still feel uncomfortable and my chest hurts a lot."
"Really? Let me take a look for you?"
"Ma'am, no need!"
Xiuzhu was very scared and didn't allow her to see it. Seeing that she was still trying to pretend to be sick, Li Qingwan stood up and said, "Little Master, what are you doing? Have you recovered a long time ago? Are you still lying here waiting for someone to serve you?"
"Ma'am, I don't have any!"
"I?"
Li Qingwan frowned, trying to provoke her, "Aren't you a nun? Why do you call yourself me? Who are you?"
"Madam, please calm down. I dare not!"
Xiuzhu had no choice but to kowtow to her, and seeing that she was scared, Li Qingwan nodded with satisfaction, "Little Master, you know that the Sima family never keeps idle people. Since you can't do anything, there are only two choices before you. First, leave the Sima Mansion and never come back. Second, follow me back to the yard to do some odd jobs. Next month is the Sima family's year-end banquet, and this lady needs your help. Little Master, think carefully about whether to stay or leave?"
"Madam, I am a poor nun..."
Xiuzhu naturally didn't want to leave. A Yue had already told her that as long as Li Qingwan won a big order from the palace and his career went smoothly, he could divorce Li Qingwan and kick away this stepping stone, and then she would become the mistress of the Sima family.
Therefore, she is willing to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens for this goal!
"Little Master, what is your choice?"
"Poor Ni..."
She didn't want to be her maid anymore, but if she didn't want to, Li Qingwan would drive her away. How could she be the future mistress of the Sima family?
After a pause, she compromised again for her son.
"I choose to stay and help my lady."
"In that case, then little master, hurry up and pack up. I have work for you to do right now."
"Ma'am, what kind of work?"
"You'll find out soon enough!"
After saying this, Li Qingwan stood up and was about to leave, and the housekeeper's voice came from outside, "Madam, the young master is here."
"Mother!"
Outside, Run'er, whose health was gradually getting better, originally wanted to come and see his mother Xiuzhu, but he didn't expect to meet Li Qingwan. He could only make the best of the situation and call Li Qingwan "mother", and even ran in from outside, looking like he was very welcoming to Li Qingwan.
"Run'er!"
Is your son here?
Xiuzhu was so happy to see her son coming, but when she saw her son throw himself into Li Qingwan's arms, her heart was broken.
She is obviously the biological mother!
"Madam, you are so lucky. The young master is so close to you!"
Xiuzhu's words were sour, and Li Qingwan naturally wanted to make her feel uncomfortable, so she immediately hugged Run'er, and turned to look at Xiuzhu despite the nausea, "Of course, Run'er is my own son, how can I not be close to him?"
Xiuzhu: “…”
"Mother, I'm fine now. When do we start studying?"
Run'er is feeling better now. His grandmother asked him to come and learn from this woman. He can't afford to be outdone by the outsider Li Huer.
"I will teach you now, little master, just watch over here."
"Yes!"
So, Li Qingwan still felt sick, so she asked A Qing to hold Run'er when she went out. But when Run'er saw that Li Qingwan was unwilling to hold him, he was very worried.
Did this woman discover something?
"Mom, I want you to hug me!"
Li Qingwan didn't want to pay attention to him, "Run'er, be good. Mommy's hands hurt. Let Ah Qing hold you."
Knowing that Li Qingwan's wrist hurt, Run'er wanted to torture her even more and insisted that she hug him, "Mother, I don't want Ah Qing, I just want you to hug me, I just want..."
Li Qingwan saw that this boy actually wanted to bully her, but she remained calm. He was indeed an evil child, and had been bad at heart since childhood.
"Run'er, dear, my arms hurt and I can't carry you. How about you come down and walk?"
She didn't spoil him. As expected, Run'er saw that acting like a spoiled child was useless and could only let Ah Qing hold him obediently. After Li Qingwan brought him back to the yard, she was reluctant to teach Run'er. Instead, she just gave him paper, pen and inkstone and asked him to study on his own.
"Run'er, if you want to learn how to write, you must first learn how to grind and identify the four treasures of the study."
Run'er naturally didn't want her to teach him, so he still wanted to find Master Zhuang. Why could that wild kid from outside have a good teacher, but he didn't?
So, he started to throw away the paper, pen and inkstone and threw them out, but there was a scream outside, "Oh, my head..."
Oops, this sounds like a mother's voice?
Is he in trouble?
Outside, Zi'er came in with Xiuzhu, whose head was covered in blood, "Madam, the little master's head was broken by the inkstone..."
Xiuzhu's face was also covered in blood. She covered her head and was furious. What was this woman Li Qingwan doing? Was she going to deal with her as soon as she came back?
Li Qingwan was in a good mood when she saw Xiuzhu's head was broken, but she still deliberately blamed her son, "Run'er, what are you doing? Look, the little master's head is broken."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I..."
"Young Master, did you smash it?"
Xiuzhu thought that Li Qingwan deliberately smashed the inkstone to hurt her, but she didn't expect it would be her own son Runer?
Li Qingwan was in a good mood. "Master, my son is just a little naughty. You won't hold it against him, right?"
