The noble lady elegantly picked up her tea bowl and took a sip.

  The Bi Luo Chun is as good as she always liked it.

  "Time is passing, and a Li family member, you're called Nai Nai, are you afraid? When she was favored, you weren't afraid either. What about the current Li family... what's it worth?" Madam said calmly.

  No matter how many women are favored, they either loathe or tolerate it.

  There is always a reason, Li... At first, it was because she and her Honghui were not allowed to come to the Fourth Master's woman.

  How can this be tolerated?

  Besides... Li is now too clever for his own good.

  Yang's wife didn't dare to say anything more, and Fu Jin became increasingly stern day by day. Since the death of her brother Honghui, she had become more and more self-willed.

  However, Yang's wife was not a kind person either, and she had no guilt in her heart.

  Today's question is nothing more than because... Dage is just a girl after all, and raising her is only a matter of dowry.

  It's uncertain whether he'll be sent to Mongolia or not, why bother being at odds with her?

  Li had the imperial physician examine the child here; fortunately, it's not too serious.

  The whole family of slaves suffered punishment, but they still had to serve.

  Fortunately, Second Brother was still in the front yard, and it was also Li's intention that he had not been called back.

  It seems that it was indeed correct, otherwise Second Brother would have been even smaller and if he had gotten a fright, it would have been even more troublesome.

  Also on this afternoon, Ye Zao called A Yuan to go to Zhengyuan and asked to see the head of Zhengyuan.

  She naturally didn't dare ask to see Madame Fu directly.

  Just seeing her in the main courtyard's Xiu Shui is already giving her a lot of face.

  "Good luck, Sister Xiushui." Ah Yuan blessed her.

  "Get up, what's wrong?" Xiushui laughed and helped her up.

  "Trouble Xiu Shui sister, our girl's body is not feeling well, tomorrow may not be able to pay respects. Please ask sister to tell Fu Jin." Ah Yuan smiled and said: "The girl has gastrointestinal discomfort."

  Xiū Shuǐ nodded: "Alright, you wait, I'll go and report back."

  Although she was a servant of Zhengyuan, Ye Gu Niang was favored and Fu Jin did not show any dissatisfaction, so she naturally wouldn't stop her.

  Madam heard: "Did Ye call the imperial physician?"

  "As for Master Z's words, he was called and said that his stomach didn't feel well, probably... can't get up. Talking about diarrhea like this, it doesn't sound good after all."

  "In that case, there's no need for you to come and pay your respects tomorrow. Just let her take care of herself. If anything happens, she can come to the main courtyard to report it." Madam Fu said.

  "Yes, I'll let Ah Yuan know right away." Xiu Shui replied.

  A-Yuan got accurate news and then kowtowed to Fu Jin outside the window.

  After a brief pause, the voice spoke slightly louder: "Thank you, Fu Jin. Our young lady said that once she's feeling a bit better, she'll come to pay her respects to you. She wouldn't dare be lazy about it."

  Nature did not respond to her.

  However, Madame Fu felt a bit more at ease after hearing these words.

  She didn't suspect that Ye Zao was feigning illness on purpose, after all, this hadn't happened when Fourth Master was around, let alone now that he wasn't.

  It seems like I'm really sick.

  A-Yuan returned to Jin Yu Ge and smiled: "Alright, Fu Jin has agreed."

  Ye Zao lazily leaned on the soft couch: "Thanks, Ah Yuan."

  She was a bit uncomfortable in her stomach, but the imperial physician only suggested that she drink some soup.

  Why can't you go and pay your respects?

  It's just... Today, Furen went to Li's place and punished so many people. How can Li's resentment be alleviated?

  Ba will not be able to hold on until tomorrow when Li's family will take it out on her, what a good scapegoat?

  There are already many secrets between you and Li's family, no need to add more. It's better to hide a bit.

  A Yuan didn't know what Ye Zao was thinking and thought she just wasn't feeling well and really didn't want to go.

  At night, the dining room naturally sent over something suitable for her to eat with an upset stomach.

  Fourth Master took away several cooks, but the food quality here has not decreased.

  It's just that it's not as indulgent as before, but after all, little Shunzi is still there and won't be neglected.

  The next morning, Ye Zao slept soundly, and A Yuan didn't wake her up either.

  Everyone went to Zhengyuan to pay their respects, it was already November, and the weather had gotten colder.

  This morning, the ground was covered with frost. Yun Shi wrapped herself in a cloak and glanced at the Jin Yu Pavilion ahead, but saw no movement, so she went straight to the main hall.

  Li brought Chang, Song brought Xu who had just given birth, and also brought Zhang, while Wu went alone, all to the main hall.

  Everyone didn't see Ye Zao, Wu Gege said: "This Ye family is more and more spoiled, not even a greeting. Also too don't take Furen in the eyes."

  No one paid attention to her.

  Even if Li wanted to strike at Ye Zao, he wouldn't join forces with someone like Song Shi.

  After a while, Fugui came out and everyone stood up to greet her. As soon as they sat down, Wuge said: "Fugui, look at the time now, Ye Shi still hasn't arrived, she really doesn't put you in her eyes, you can't spoil her like this."

  The lady frowned: "Wu Shi, didn't you learn your lesson from the beating last time? Ye Shi is just a concubine, how can she not look down on me, the legitimate lady?"

  These words are really annoying to listen to.

  "Wu Ge Ge hastily knelt down: 'Your humble servant dares not, your humble servant is only...'"

  "All right, be quiet! I see you have no memory at all. Ye Shi is ill, someone came to tell us yesterday." Fu Jin said calmly.

  Wu Gege shut his mouth and didn't dare say another word.

  Everyone was taciturn and the visit of condolence soon came to an end.

  The lady looked at Li Shi for a moment, and Li Shi just lowered her head. She followed all the proper etiquette, but refused to say another word.

  The imperial concubine sat for a while longer before saying: "Everyone can disperse now, it's getting cold and be careful on the road."

  Everyone thanked Madame Fu and got up to leave.

  As soon as she came out of the main courtyard, Yun Gege bumped into Xia He, a servant of Li's family.

  "Yun! Don't you know any rules?" Li shouted, not caring whose fault it was.

  Yun knew this was a trap, but he had no choice: "I know I was wrong."

  "Since you know you're wrong, then kneel down." Li said calmly.

  Yun's family did not dare to refute, and in their hearts they also knew that this was done on purpose to vent their anger for the sake of yesterday's affairs.

  However, after she knelt down, her heart was coldly laughing. Right at the entrance of the main courtyard, slapping the face of Fu Jin? Li Shi is not the Li Shi of the past anymore.

  I'm afraid it's not worth it?

  At this moment, she was glad that she stood in the main courtyard, otherwise, today's punishment would have lasted for a long time.

  After Yun knelt down, Li coldly sneered: "What kind of thing is this, thinking that by climbing high it can rest easy? It's just a dog."

  Having said that, he took Xiahe's hand and left directly.

  Yun's hand tightened, but he didn't rush either.

  The empress dowager will not ignore it.

  As expected, after just a moment, the lady called Yun up and also sent word to scold Li for being unreasonable, arbitrarily punishing the women in the mansion, and having no benevolent heart.

  It's freezing cold, and you're making a girl kneel down, it's too much.

  Li smashed a house full of porcelain.

  Outside, Zhao Fugui poked Xia He's head: "How many heads did you grow? Ah? How dare you do this?"

  He actually is a hot-headed person who can't see the situation clearly, but he could only scold Xiahe in anger.
