Chapter 178 Missed
This is exactly what Haoyue was waiting for.
She clapped her hands and shouted crisply, "What a voluntary gift!"
The voice was so clear that it startled the others.
Haoyue seized this opportunity and said, "Madam, when you returned to the Li family five years ago, did Mr. Li tell you that you had to bear all the expenses yourself?"
Mrs. Zhou readily agreed: "No, he said that this is my sister's home, and we are all family."
"Whatever Sister wants, it's up to her."
This is very embarrassing and obviously wrong.
Li Shanglian hesitated for a long time and didn't say anything else.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mrs. Li glared at him fiercely.
Then he continued to defend himself to Haoyue: "Madam Dianshi, this matter is caused by the dishonesty of my Li family."
"But no matter what, it is our family affair."
"We have not committed any crime, nor have we harassed or abused Ajie and Jiu'er."
"I heard that Princess Tianwu is kind and will definitely not oppress the people indiscriminately."
This is just putting the hat directly on the princess's head.
If the princess took care of their family for Lady Zhou, it would be oppressing the people.
Haoyue was angry with this family. The princess was such a good girl and would never do such a despicable thing.
When the princess sent her here, she explained: "Since the Li family felt that Jiujiu was useless, they expelled her."
"For people like this who try to curry favor with the rich and powerful, the best punishment is to destroy their hearts. You just need to let them know that they have lost the wealth and glory that was within their grasp. That's enough."
"When the time comes, find a more natural way to tell them that Jiujiu is loved by the Queen Mother and has a bright future."
So now, Haoyue asked Madam Zhou: "Madam, since the Li family does not accept you, then...are you still willing to be a daughter of the Li family?"
Mrs. Zhou hugged Zhou Huanjiu tightly.
"I have my own children, that's enough. I don't need these so-called relatives."
Zhou Huanjiu noticed his mother's fragility and hugged her back.
Rub the chubby little face against it and stick to it.
The Li couple over there had stiff faces and looked somewhat unwilling.
They only found out today that Zhou Huanjiu was on good terms with the princess.
So she is still somewhat useful.
But they also knew that what they did yesterday was too much and blocked all ways to continue the peace.
So they could only watch Mrs. Zhou distance herself from their family.
Li Shanglian thought for a moment and whispered to his wife, "It's okay. The Zhou family won't accept my sister now."
"She left, and there's nowhere to go."
"Even if we wrong her, she has no other choice. When she is desperate, she will come back to us for help."
"We can still take control."
It is not known whether these words were meant to comfort his wife or himself.
Haoyue flicked the non-existent dust off her skirt and stood up.
"It's alright, I'll take the princess away now."
As he said this, Haoyue pretended to apologize to Zhou Huanjiu.
"Please forgive me, my lord. I have just been conferred the title and I am not used to it yet. I am used to calling you Madam Zhou, which is really wrong."
This was an obvious clue, and of course the Li family noticed it.
"Wait a minute, what county lord?"
Haoyue explained kindly: "The princess has served the Queen Mother in the palace for five years and has won the favor of Her Majesty the Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty thinks that he has performed filial piety on his behalf and has made great contributions."
"Then, grant her the title of county lord."
After saying this, he left with the people and things, regardless of the two people's stunned looks.
The room was empty because all the things had been taken away.
The couple's hearts also felt empty.
I never imagined that my niece, who was thought to have been abandoned because of her disfigurement, had never actually fallen out of favor.
The Queen Mother even gave her a title.
Even if, even if she couldn't marry a rich and powerful man, at least before the Queen Mother passed away, there was someone in their Li family who could have a say over the royal family.
But they never imagined that Zhou Huanjiu was really capable of having a say in front of the Queen Mother.
Li Shanglian realized the stupid things he had done in the past two days and thought about what he had lost overnight. He turned around and slapped his wife hard.
"It's all your fault! Vicious woman!"
“What did you say? Zhou Huanjiu must have had his face ruined and was kicked out.”
"The Queen Mother likes me very much!"
"If it weren't for you, would I have kicked out my own brother and niece?"
Mrs. Li covered her face and turned around, then swung her other arm and slapped back.
Li Shanglian's ears were ringing because of the slap.
"Li Shanglian, you are shameless!"
"You were so happy when you chased me away, but now that you realize you made a wrong judgment, you put all the blame on me?"
"If you are really a conscientious brother and a loving uncle, would you just watch them and their mother be left alone?"
"If you have feelings for them, why would I dare to go against you? I will just watch you take them in."
"Even if I'm pretending, I'll pretend to be a good sister-in-law."
"Why are you glaring at me!"
"That's your sister, your niece."
"I have no blood relationship with him."
"I don't need to help them, but you should."
"Useless thing, you missed the ladder to heaven and now you blame your wife."
"I bother!"
The couple, who were usually united, pushed and shoved each other and quarreled fiercely because of this incident.
The harmony maintained by interests is falling apart.
