Chapter 39
The winter sunshine shines on the street, the high-flying shops are decorated with signboards, and there is a constant flow of pedestrians with indifferent and comfortable smiles on their faces. This is Shangjing.

The richest and most prosperous place in Dongling, it looks like the country is peaceful and the people are safe.

It's just that Li Miaoyi, who had seen the tragic floods and plague in Changping, could no longer see the entire capital city as before.

The carriage arrived at the main entrance of Li Mansion. Li Miaoyi opened the carriage curtain and took a look, but did not see Li Jiangshi.

Li Miaoyi sighed and said, "Go to the back door."

"Yes." The driver of the carriage responded and drove the carriage to the back door of Li's house.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Miaoyi got off the carriage, she saw Mrs. Li Jiang waiting at the door.

Ms. Li Jiang is wearing a light pink Confucian skirt, her face is powdered, and her skin is fair and flawless. She is really a mature woman, and her charm is still there.

"Mother." Li Miaoyi called.

The moment she saw Li Miaoyi, Mrs. Li Jiang had a smile on her face, her eyes were bright, and she didn't have the pale and sick look before.

Li Jiangshi responded, stepped forward and took Li Miaoyi's hand, "I'm back."

Li Miaoyi wanted to ask why she, as the legitimate daughter, could not enter the house through the front door, but Li Miaoyi could guess that Li Jiangshi's reply to her must have been, don't cause any trouble to your father.

After thinking for a moment, Li Miaoyi still didn't say anything. It didn't make any sense. In the end, Li Miaoyi just nodded.

It was convenient to go back to the courtyard through the back door. After all, the mother and daughter had moved the courtyard for the concubine for many years.

When she returned to Li's Mansion for the first time, Li Miaoyi was still a little unaccustomed to it. Let's not mention the luxurious Changping Prefect's Mansion. Just talking about Jiang Yunsong's mansion, it was also elegant and grand.

As for the courtyard of Li Miaoyi and Li Jiang, it can be reached only by walking through the forest path. It can be said to be the oldest courtyard in Li Mansion. Mother and daughter, Li Jiang lives in the outer courtyard and Li Miaoyi lives in the inner courtyard. , except for the necessities, there is nothing at all.

Li Miaoyi sat on the wooden bench in the room.

Li Jiang took the opportunity to sit next to Li Miaoyi, with a concerned look on her face, and asked, "Is your grandpa in good health?"

Li Miaoyi nodded and said, "Grandma, everything is fine, and the body is very strong, but." After a pause, Li Miaoyi said, "Grandpa is very worried about my mother."

Mrs. Li Jiang snorted softly and said, "If your grandfather hadn't been so stubborn and unwilling to help your father seek an official position in front of His Majesty, how could you, mother and daughter, be in this situation now?"

Li Miaoyi sighed helplessly, her heart full of exhaustion, and said, "Mom, when will you wake up?"

Finally, Li Miaoyi opened her mouth to expose Li Jiang's fantasy and said, "Li Miaoyin is only two months younger than me. How can you think it's my grandfather's fault? Could it be that my grandfather asked for an official position for my father?" Won’t you welcome Li Sunshi in?”

But as the saying goes, you can't wake up someone who is pretending to sleep, just like Li Miaoyi can't wake up Li Jiangshi now.

"Everyone in the ladies circle in the capital knows how good your father was to me back then. It's just that you don't know. Your father was just temporarily fascinated by that foxy girl. Don't talk nonsense." After a pause, Mrs. Li Jiang said with a cheerful tone and a shy look on her face, "This year your father will ask me to come to the front yard to watch the New Year together."

Li Miaoyi only felt a headache. If it weren't for her grandfather's letter, how could Li Muqing ask Li Jiangshi to go to the front yard, but Li Jiangshi couldn't see the truth behind it from the beginning to the end.

Maybe she knew it in her heart, but she was just immersed in the past and unwilling to wake up. She was immersed in the dream weaved by the man and unwilling to wake up.Suddenly, Mrs. Li Jiang was overjoyed and said, "Wanwan, please give up on your marriage to Marquis Pingyang."

Li Miaoyi frowned and looked at Li Jiang in confusion. Li Muqing would never let go of the benefits of these thirty boxes of betrothal gifts.

Li Jiang said, "Marquis Pingyang, a few days ago, I was shopping..." After saying this, Li Jiang's face showed a hint of trepidation, and she continued, "Walking in a place like that would scare the girl to death. A jump."

Li Miaoyi narrowed her eyes and fell into deep thought. Song Yanxing told her that she would not marry Pingyang Hou, and then Pingyang Hou died suddenly on the day he returned to Beijing.

It was hard for Li Miaoyi not to suspect that this matter was Song Yanxing's handiwork, but Li Miaoyi didn't care. As long as she didn't have to marry the Pingyang Marquis, his life and death had nothing to do with her.

Hearing this, Li Miaoyi asked worriedly, "How is that girl now?"

Speaking of this, Li Jiang sighed and said, "The son of Marquis Pingyang went to sue the officials, saying that the girl killed Marquis Pingyang, but he went to do an autopsy and said it was just an accident, so the girl was let go."

After hearing this, Li Miaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the girl would suffer an unreasonable disaster because of her, so she would be fine if nothing happened.

At this moment, the voice of Caiyun, Li Jiang's maid, came from the door, "Madam, the master asked the young lady to go to the front yard."

Li Jiangshi looked at Li Miaoyi and said, "Say nice things to your father more often, you know?"

Li Miaoyi nodded helplessly, stood up and walked out.

In fact, even if Li Jiangshi didn't say so, Li Miaoyi would not openly disobey Li Muqing now. This is not tolerated by the world. Li Miaoyi is not stupid enough to be in such a situation. Although Li Miaoyi does not care about other people's thoughts, but after not getting She will not do anything that might turn out to be a hindrance to her along the way until she is supreme.

Walking to the garden, Li Miaoyi saw her younger brother, Li Qizhe.

At this age, young men from other families have already read poems and books. When Song Yanxing was seven years old, he was able to speak poems and poems, which made him famous in Dongling.

Li Miaoyi looked at the 13-year-old boy who was still smashing ice by the pond and shook her head.

Even though he is a concubine, the status of a head wife is not as good as that of a concubine. In addition, he is the only young master in the Li family, and Li Muqing dotes on him, so he is like a demon king in this family.

Li Miaoyi thought of Li Miaoyin's face. Li Miaoyin could be considered a beauty.

But her younger brother, who is a compatriot from the same mother, has a rough face, small eyes, a flat nose, and thick lips. Putting aside the appearance of Li Sun, who attracted Li Muqing's soul, even Li Muqing can be considered handsome. Li Miaoyi is completely I can't imagine what her little brother looks like.

Turning his head, Li Qizhe saw Li Miaoyi who was trying to walk quietly behind him.

Li Qizhe quickly threw away the stone in his hand and said loudly, "Li Miaoyi, stop—"

Li Miaoyi pretended not to hear, but her footsteps became faster. Then Li Miaoyi heard the heavy footsteps behind her, and the ground shook with the sound of Li Qizhe running.

Li Miaoyi rolled her eyes. She knew exactly what Li Qizhe wanted to do next, so Li Miaoyi suddenly stepped away and looked to the side.

"Bam—"
