Chapter 185 The feeling of raising a daughter

Li Ziwen was furious. He'd simply left something on the boat and was planning to go back and retrieve it before returning home, but he'd witnessed such a scene on the way! Qingyun had been covering up for him in vain! He'd even said he was on official business, so accompanying his concubine shopping was his official business?!

Chu Qingmeng returned to the palace in a rage. As soon as she closed the door, she started to get angry and slammed the bed twice with a pillow. "I'm so angry! I'm so angry! Ahhhh!!! No matter where I go, I'm treated as a concubine! As a second wife!"

Mo Jiangqing knocked on the door and coaxed Chu Qingmeng, "Mother, mother, please open the door. Don't be angry. It's my fault that I have caused you to be humiliated. I am at fault..."

"What's wrong?" Mo Liujin watched from afar as Mo Jiangqing knocked on the door to apologize, and kept trying to coax Chu Qingmeng. But before Mo Jiangqing could reply, the door opened with a bang. Chu Qingmeng threw herself into Mo Liujin's arms. Mo Liujin subconsciously hugged her and asked softly, "What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy?"

Chu Qingmeng raised her head and ignored her eldest son, then pitifully asked Mo Liujin, "Ajin, do I really look like a concubine?"

Mo Liujin understood what was going on almost instantly. He chuckled and covered her face with his hands, covering her entire face. He smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. The way you look now makes me feel like I have a daughter who is acting like a spoiled child with me."

"..."

The door slammed shut again, locking both the father and son outside.

"..." Mo Jiangqing: Father, what are you doing? I was counting on you to coax me, but you made me angry again.

Mo Liujin rubbed his forehead helplessly and knocked on the door. "I have something to tell you. Can you be angry later?"

"I won't listen!" Chu Qingmeng gritted his teeth, "Just hold it in!"

…………

On the other side, Li Ziwen also returned to the Li Mansion cursing. After arriving at the main hall, he restrained his expression, but his face was still full of displeasure.

"What's wrong, second brother?" Li Qingyue, the youngest sister in the family, was the first to notice Li Ziwen. As soon as she said this, Li Qingyun stopped bragging about her mother-in-law and looked at him.

Li Ziwen glanced at Li Qingyun, wanting to say something, then shook his head, "It's okay."

Li Qingyun burst out laughing. "Second brother, you're the one who can't hide your thoughts. Tell me what's going on? Why are you so unhappy after getting something?"

Li Ziwen looked at Li Qingyun, sighed, and asked, "Are you and your uncle okay?"

Li Qingyun was stunned for a moment. Huh? What kind of question was this?

But Li Qingyun's hesitation was seen by Li Ziwen as a sign of being wronged. His anger immediately escalated, and he slapped the armrest and stood up abruptly. "I knew that bastard Mo Jiangqing treated you badly! And you're still covering up for him!"

His behavior completely confused Li Qingyun, "Second brother, what are you talking about? We have always been good friends."

Seeing that she was still trying to cover up, Li Ziwen became even more furious. He ignored his wife's words and slammed the table, "What's wrong with that?! He won't even do the formalities with you now! He should have been with you to welcome our parents back to Beijing, but instead he went shopping with his concubine! And you're covering up for him!"

Li Qingyun was still in a daze when she suddenly remembered Chu Qingmeng. She looked at Li Ziwen in astonishment and asked, "Is that woman wearing plain clothes? Does she look like she's just reached adulthood? Does she have those curved eyebrows when she smiles? Is she accompanied by a maid in green clothes? And a man who looks like a scholar?!"

"You knew?! You knew and yet you covered up for him!" Li Ziwen became even more furious! This concubine must have gotten over his sister!

Li Qingyun suddenly became anxious, and regardless of her usual manners, she shook Li Ziwen's arm desperately, "Second brother! What did you do to her?!"

Seeing his sister's strange attitude, Li Ziwen frowned and said, "What can a grown man like me do to her? I just scolded Mo Jiangqing a few times."

Then, under Li Qingyun's questioning, Li Ziwen told her everything that happened on the street. After hearing it, Li Qingyun felt like the sky had fallen on her and hurriedly asked someone to prepare a car to return to the palace.

"Yun'er, what happened?" Li Qingyun's mother, Madam Li, asked. Father Li, standing by, also frowned as he looked at his daughter.

Li Qingyun slumped in a chair, somewhat powerlessly, waiting for the servants to prepare the carriage. "Second brother, you're killing me! My husband didn't lie to you. That really is his mother, his biological mother! My biological mother-in-law! This morning, when my mother-in-law went out, she was wearing plain clothes. The maidservant beside her was Aunt Xiazhi! You should know her! That scholar is my mother-in-law's bodyguard, and also my husband's master!"

"Yun'er! You also lied to me with him?! That girl just came of age, how could she be his biological mother!" Li Ziwen was somewhat angry. How could his sister help him like this!

"I didn't lie to you! Second brother, what good would it do me to lie to you?!" Li Qingyun felt her head buzzing. "My mother-in-law had been recuperating in the mountains for over twenty years. She finally recovered and could barely move. Just as she returned home, she was poisoned at a banquet. A miracle doctor saved her, but after taking the medicine for seven days, although she recovered, her figure and appearance had returned to that of a young woman who had just come of age. And I'm afraid she won't change much in the future."

Mo Liujin has already made a unified statement to everyone about Chu Qingmeng's appearance.
