Laidi sat on the chair in a daze and watched Li Fengqi sleep until dawn.
Li Fengqi woke up from his hangover and rubbed his swollen head as he looked at the big red wedding blanket on the bed. Only then did he remember that he had gotten married yesterday. Why was there no one on the bed? Had Laidi already woken up?
Li Fengqi sat up and looked up to see Laidi sitting on the chair in a daze. He asked curiously, “Laidi, why are you sitting there? Why aren’t you on the bed?”
Laidi looked at him and asked faintly, “You clearly know that last night was a good day for us to get married. Why did you drink like that? What will others think of me?”
Li Fengqi looked at Laidi’s aggrieved gaze and felt that he shouldn’t have gotten drunk on their wedding night. He looked at her apologetically. “Laidi, I didn’t do it on purpose. I was so happy to marry you that I drank a few more glasses. In addition, they kept drinking and I accidentally drank too much.”
Laidi’s heart warmed when she saw his apologetic expression. Thinking of what Madam Ye had said last night, she was furious again. She angrily told Li Fengqi what Madam Ye had said. She looked at him unhappily and asked,
“What’s going on with that Ye Feng’er? What is your aunt thinking?”
Li Fengqi rubbed his throbbing temples. Looking at Laidi’s aggressive appearance, he was extremely annoyed. As expected, she was an ignorant village girl. She couldn’t see her husband’s headache and only knew how to pester about those things. If he had known…
Li Fengqi suppressed the frustration in his heart and said to Laidi nicely, “You and I are going to the capital for the exam. Grandmother is old and can’t travel long distances. She can’t live without someone to serve her. Grandmother said that she will return to Aunt’s house and let Aunt serve her. Aunt said that she can serve Grandmother. Her only request is for Feng’er to follow us to the capital to take care of us. Laidi, don’t worry. I just treat her as a sister.”
Laidi pursed her lips and thought to herself that he had even called Feng’er sister. What kind of sister was the niece of the Ye family?
“Go and tell Aunt that it’s not good to let a little girl like her follow us to the capital. That will ruin her reputation. If you’re afraid that no one will take care of us, I’ll go to the brokerage to buy an old woman and a rough servant to follow us to the capital to take care of us. Ye Feng’er will stay at home to take care of Grandmother. We’ll give her salary and silver.”
Li Fengqi stood up and pointed at Laidi angrily. “You’re just being unreasonable. Grandmother and I have already promised Aunt. How can we go back on our word? Alright! Since you disagree, stay at home and take care of Grandmother. I’ll go to the capital alone.” Li Fengqi slammed the door angrily and left.
Laidi watched in shock as Li Fengqi slammed the door and left. Tears welled up in her eyes as she muttered to herself, “I married you at all costs. How can you treat me like this?”
Li Fengqi regretted it after slamming the door angrily and leaving. If she really stayed at home, how was he going to enter Li Qing’s house in the capital? He heard that the emperor had even given her cousin’s family a house. Li Qing would definitely stay there if he went to take the exam. If he stayed there, wouldn’t he be able to get to know someone with status?
Li Fengqi gritted his teeth and could only turn around to coax Laidi. When he entered the house and saw her sitting there motionless with her head lowered, he walked up to her and reached out his hand. He said softly to her, “Let’s go!
Don’t throw a tantrum. We still have to serve tea to Grandmother and Father.”
“Am I throwing a tantrum?” Laidi slapped Li Fengqi’s hand away in disappointment. “Go find your Sister Feng’er to serve tea with you! Why are you looking for me?! You were drunk last night, and we didn’t have any intercourse.
It’s not too late for you to go back on your word.”
Li Fengqi hugged her and said softly, “I’ll regret it if I let you go. Besides, I don’t want anything to do with Feng’er. I only want you.”
Seeing him smile shyly, Laidi pushed him gently. “Annoying…” Li Fengqi smiled and carried her to the bed. He leaned over and pressed her down.
When she returned home three days later, Laidi told Li Mei that she and Li
Fengai were going to the capital to prepare for the exam. Li Mei looked at her
indifferently. “What’s the use of telling me about the preparation exam in the capital? I’m an old woman from the countryside and can’t help you. When the time comes, we won’t send you off. Have a safe trip!”
Laidi looked at Li Mei ingratiatingly. “Mother, why are you still angry with me? I want to ask you for my cousin’s address. I’ll go see Ah Qing when we reach the capital.”
“My nephew won’t trouble you, an outsider. Didn’t you swear never to cause trouble for Ah Qing and Yu’er? It’ll be less trouble if we don’t interact with each other. I’ve already instructed Ah Qing and Xiaoyu to interact less with you so that they won’t be used,” Li Mei said indifferently.
Laidi looked at Li Mei and thought of how Li Fengqi had repeatedly instructed her that as long as she got Li Qing’s address and Li Mei’s letter, he would tell the Old Madam not to let Ye Feng’er go to the capital with her. Thinking of this, Laidi begged patiently, “Mother, I was just angry! We’re mother and daughter. How can we have overnight grudges? I was wrong!”
Li Mei looked at Laidi and sighed. “Sigh! I’m not angry at you. Be good on the way. Follow the people in the government office closely and don’t slack off. It’s not safe to be alone.”
Seeing that Li Mei’s tone had softened, Laidi held her hand and wheedled, “Got it, Mother. Give me Ah Qing’s address. When I go to the capital, I can help Ah Qing pack up and take care of his food. We have Ah Qing there. If anything happens, we can take care of each other.”
Li Mei was so angry that her face turned pale. In the end, she still wanted to count on the support of Ah Qing and his sister!
Li Mei looked at Laidi coldly. “If you want help, just say it. Why are you talking about these things? Who did you learn these superficial things from? I thought you really knew your mistake. It turns out that you’re only apologizing because of Ah Qing’s address. Leave!” With that, she turned around and left. Zhaodi followed worriedly.
Brother Pig rolled his eyes at Laidi. “Second Sister, you’re an ingrate. I woke up early in the morning and cooked your favorite food. You made me angry when you came back. I’m ignoring you.”
After saying that, Brother Pig ran to the central room and complained to Liu Changmin, “Father, Second Sister made Mother angry when she came back. Mother’s face turned pale from anger.”
When Liu Changmin heard this, he stood up and looked at Li Fengqi with a smile. “Fengqi, bring Laidi back! Her mother has a problem with palpitations. It’s easy for her to fall ill when she’s angry. My Liu family is just a family that digs food from the ground. We can’t help you much. We don’t want to drag you down. In the future, everyone should interact less. My girl suffered too much when she was young and has a bad temper. You’re a scholar, so you have to bear with it.”
Li Fengqi was about to respond when Liu Changmin said coldly, “There’s something I have to tell you. If there’s anything wrong with my daughter, tell me. I’ll discipline her personally. If something bad happens in your Li family, I won’t agree.”
Li Fengqi was speechless by Liu Changmin’s words. He knew that Liu
Changming was threatening him. In the past few days after becoming the High Scholar, Li Fengqi knew the difference between having a backer and not having one..
