Madam Li was angry. She wanted to lecture Mr. Chu, but she did not expect him to lecture her instead.
Madam Li glared at Mr. Chu. “If you want to do this, do it yourself. I won’t do it anyway.”
Madam Li started to learn the way the madams in the capital dressed. She put on rouge, powder, and silk. However, she was still not accepted into the group.
If Madam Li didn’t want to do it, Mr. Chu couldn’t force her. “Just don’t get into trouble. If you get into trouble, I can’t protect you.”
Madam Li was a scheming person to begin with. Now that she was in the capital, Madam Li was even more ambitious. It was useless for Mr. Chu to persuade her to keep a low profile.
Madam Li rolled her eyes and said, “Sanniang has been married to Yan for a few months, but her stomach is not getting any bigger. You don’t seem to worry at all.”
Mr. Chu was very speechless. “It’s only been a few months, not a few years. Besides, I can’t interfere in Yan’s matters. Why are you worried?”
Madam Li continued, “Which man doesn’t have multiple concubines now? Yan is such a high-ranking official and only has Liu Sanniang by his side. If word gets out, what will others think of Yan?”
Mr. Chu was about to flare up. “What are you planning]? Are you having too comfortable a life? If you don’t like this comfortable life, I’ll take you and your son back to Yong County. Ever since Yan was young, you’ve never treated him well. Now that he’s doing well, you want to interfere in his matters. What do you want, Madam Li?”
Mr. Chu did not feel at ease at all living such a luxurious life. He felt that these things did not belong to him.
He missed his hometown and his neighbors. Sometimes, Mr. Chu couldn’t help but think that if only Chu Yan could chase them away…
Fortunately, Madam Li did not know what he was thinking. If she knew, she would go crazy.
Madam Li smiled. “Let the past be the past. We’re all a family. It’s only right for me to care about Yan.”
As Madam Li spoke, she turned around and entered the house.
Mr. Chu frowned and continued to plow the land. He was thinking if he should go back. Yan was kind-hearted. Even if they weren’t together, he wouldn’t treat them badly.
Moreover, the rewards he had received were more than enough for him to spend for a few lifetimes.
Mr. Chu was content, but Madam Li was not.
She entered the house and rummaged through the basket. After finding something, she quietly went out.
Mr. Chu did not notice her leaving at all.
Madam Li quietly went to the kitchen. The servants were preparing to serve the dishes.
Madam Li walked in and placed something inside. After doing all this, she quickly left.
In the dark alley, Madam Li walked. When she heard footsteps, she knelt down with a thud and said with a trembling voice, “I’ve already done what you said. Please don’t hurt him.”
She did not know how these people found out about her past. They used it to threaten her.
Madam Li had asked many times. The person behind it seemed to only want to be a couple with Chu Yan. This was not a big deal. To Chu Yan, it was just having another woman. Moreover, it was normal for men to have multiple wives.
Madam Li was anxious. The man in black said in a dark voice, “You did a good job. When it’s done, we’ll release your son. You don’t have to worry about him knowing anything.”
Madam Li asked with a trembling voice, “I’ve already done what you asked. Can’t you let him go now?”
“You have no right to negotiate with us.”
The man in black mocked coldly.
Madam Li gritted her teeth and said with difficulty, “He’s still a child. He’s already entered the path of the Dao. If you hurt him, you’ll be punished. You must not hurt him. You have to keep your word.”
The man in black sneered. “Don’t worry, we’ll let him go after this.”
Madam Li gritted her teeth and lowered her head without saying anything. After the man in black left, she stood up and slowly left the dark alley.
At dinner time at night, Su Yanyu told Hu Yu and the others in detail what had happened in the palace. Su Yanyu was undoubtedly the best storyteller. As Hu Yu listened, she gritted her teeth and flared up. “I want to go tomorrow too. I want to watch them be defeated and cry. If necessary, I want to go on the ring and teach them a lesson!
Hu Yu couldn’t suppress her anger. She felt that if she did not see it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t be able to sleep.
Hu Yu looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Venerable Liu, can you bring me along tomorrow? Ah, I want to go, I want to go.”
Su Yanyu looked at Liu Yuanyuan. Liu Yuanyuan was expressionless, as if she was not interested. Su Yanyu was immediately less interested in watching the show.
Liu Yuanyuan glanced at Su Yanyu with a trace of gentleness in her cold eyes. She said, “Venerable, can we go together tomorrow?”
Su Yanyu’s eyes lit up and he blurted out, “Sure, sure. You can turn into a small snake and stay in my sleeve.”
Hu Yu immediately pointed at Su Yanyu and complained, “How can you do this in front of me. Venerables, you have to seek justice for me. Boohoo…”
Hu Yu turned into a silver fox and rolled around Liu Sanniang, howling.
Su Yanyu was dumbfounded and quickly explained, “Miss Hu, get up. I, I… I’m sorry…”
Other than apologizing, Su Yanyu did not know what else to say to appease Hu Yu. He had never seen such a fox.
Lin Jie bent down, picked up Hu Yu, and fed her a drumstick. Hu Yu subconsciously took a bite. After swallowing it, she continued to cry out in grievance, “Your apology is too insincere. I want medicinal worms. Seven, I want at least seven medicinal worms to feel better.”
Su Yanyu felt a headache coming on. Just as he was about to agree, Liu
Yuanyuan said coldly, “Why don’t we fight? If you win, you have the final say..”
