Ancient Trial Marriage Chapter 87 After seeing her son, Han Qiuyue quickly shook off the sadness and regained clarity on the situation. She reworked her battle plan, as the current circumstances were unfavorable to her. For now, she had no choice but to humble herself, hide her light, and wait for an opportunity. Ye Ziyu
Then, Han Qiuyue saw the old master and first did some self-reflection and statement: "People all say that being a stepmother is difficult, now I deeply feel it. I won't complain or feel wronged for myself, if Mingyun has misunderstandings, it must be that I haven't done well enough. I should put aside my personal feelings, be sincere, for the old master, for the Li family, no matter how much grievance I suffer, it doesn't matter..."
Li Jingxian listened to her sincere words and saw her genuine expression, feeling slightly comforted in his heart: "It's good that you understand, don't think that by dealing with Mingyun yourself, you can get many benefits. Mingyun has a bright future ahead of him, if he is smart, he should care more about him, sympathize with him, and let Mingze be harmonious with his brother. In the future, it's good to have mutual support, and family harmony will bring prosperity. This principle should be understood."
Han Qiu Yue expressed her gratitude and personally served tea to the old master, massaging his legs, and spoke again of her longing for him. Li Jing Xian's expression gradually eased: "As for Ming Ze, don't blame him too much either. It's just that he was unlucky. Fortunately, he is still young and has many opportunities. This time it didn't work out, but there will be a next time. As for Ming Yun's marriage... since we have already agreed to it, we should do our best to make it happen. I'll leave this matter to you, discuss it with Lin Lan and see what's the best way to handle it."
Han Qiu Yue cursed secretly: What's the point of saying that a bowl of water is balanced, when in fact it's clearly ice and fire, two extremes with no end to the bias. But on the surface, she was gentle and demure: "Don't worry, Master! I will definitely do as they say and make sure they are satisfied."
Li Jingxian nodded in satisfaction and finished his tea before heading out to the outer study room, where he had Han Qiuyue waiting for him.
Han Qiu Yue called over Yao Mama, this invisible capable assistant.
"Who has been attending to Master in the mansion during my absence?"
Mrs. Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "It's all Late Jade who is serving."
Han Qiu Yue gritted her teeth: "This cheap servant girl..." Taking advantage of her absence, she dares to climb onto Master's bed. She can't wait to flay her alive. Ye Zi was leisurely...
"Madam, the master has had his eye on Wan Yu for some time now. I think he truly likes her. If we wait for him to speak up himself, you can still refuse, but if we were to get rid of Wan Yu, I'm afraid the master would be displeased with you. Why not take this opportunity to grant the master's wish? He will surely be delighted and grateful to you, and it might also distract him from his current preoccupations."
Han Qiu yue remained silent for a long time before sighing and saying, "I'm afraid of inviting wolves into the house. Wan Yu is such a promiscuous woman."
"Even if she's as fierce as Late Jade, she's just a concubine. If she listens, I'll let her warm the bed for Master. If not, it's easy to get rid of her with some excuse."
Han Qiu Yue said with a deep hatred: "I've suffered for half of my life, and it's not easy to get to where I am today. Whoever dares to stand in my way will be dead."
Mrs. Yao nodded and bowed: "With Madam's skills, who can turn over Madam's palm?"
Thousands of holes, ten thousand holes, but not a single hole in the horse's buttocks. Yao Mama flattered him once, and Han Qiuyue's confidence greatly increased. With a proud spirit: "I'll tell Master later, don't leak the news for now."
Yao Mama Nuonuonuo
"Aunt... Aunt..." Mingzhu's voice came from outside.
"Miss Bai, may I enter and announce your arrival?" Chun Xing said.
"I see Auntie still wants to spread rumors? Get out of my way!" Mingzhu had been holding in her anger all day and was about to explode. She heard that her aunt had returned from the village and immediately came to tattle.
Han Qiuyue frowned in displeasure and waved her hand at Mrs. Yao: "Go down first."
Mingzhu rushed in, Chun Xing followed behind her with a terrified expression. Mingzhu didn't notice the dissatisfaction on her mother's face and covered her face to cry: "Auntie, you have to help me make things right, I've never been so humiliated my whole life, I...I really don't want to live anymore..."
Han Qiu Yue was already annoyed at this moment, and when she saw Ming Zhu crying, she coldly scolded: "How many times have I told you? Be more restrained, you are a young lady-in-waiting, not just any young lady. If you continue to be so arrogant and look down on others, I will immediately send you back to your mother's place."
Bright pearl was scolded by a head of fog, isn't it my own mother? Where else do you want to send me?
"Chun Xing, go down first." Han Qiuyue dismissed Chun Xing. Only then did she ask: "What's going on again?"
Mingzhu indignantly told her mother about Lin Lan's slander today and showed her the bruise on her wrist.
"Daughter, she's really too detestable, too sinister and vicious. You must thoroughly discipline her, drive her to death." Mingzhu gritted her teeth, hating that she couldn't immediately grab Linlan and give her a few loud slaps.
Han Qiu Yue's chest heaved up and down, and she couldn't speak for half a day. This feeling was like swallowing a fly. Ming Zhu's identity in the Li household was an absolute secret, known only to her, Old Master, and Jiang Mama. Although Ming Zhu and Ming Ze were close siblings, others might not see it that way. Han Qiu Yue only then realized the severity of the problem, regardless of Lin Lan's intentions for saying such a thing. If this rumor spread within the household, not only would Ming Zhu and Ming Ze lose face, but she and Old Master would also be driven to death by anger.
Han Qiu Yue calmed down and said seriously, "I told you not to provoke Lin Lan, but you still did it. You don't have the ability to deal with her, so why bother? Don't even think about asking for an explanation from her. I'm warning you again: stay away from her from now on. And also, visit your brother less often, or else people will start gossiping again."
"My daughter, you don't help me vent my anger, but instead scold me..." Mingzhu came running to tattle with full expectation, but ended up getting a lesson. All her grievances turned into sorrow and indignation, she wailed: "If none of you care about me, why did you give birth to me in the first place? Why make me suffer this fate? I...I'd rather not live!" As she spoke, she turned around and ran away.
Han Qiuyue was frightened to death, this girl is a firecracker, once ignited, she can't be stopped. Han Qiuyue had no choice but to ask Chun Xiang to help her catch up and comfort her for a while before explaining the severity of the situation in detail, only then did Mingzhu calm down.
"Now you're in a precarious situation, every step is difficult. If you were smart, you'd behave like Miss Bao and not cause more trouble for me. Getting rid of that village woman is only a matter of time, I'm not worried about it." Han Autumn Moon took out her handkerchief to wipe away her precious daughter's tears.
Mingzhu sobbed and leaned on her mother's body: "I really hate my second brother and Lin Lan, this village girl. Before they came back, everything was so happy, but once they arrived, everything changed."
Han Autumn Moon was also bitter in her heart. After finally driving away Ye Xinwei, she still left such a troublemaker behind, and it just so happened to be this difficult one to deal with. Han Autumn Moon stroked her daughter's hair and sighed softly: "Foolish child, bear with it for now! Things will get better."
Lin Lan and Li Mingyou strolled leisurely in the backyard after dinner.
Yinliu and others tactfully did not disturb the two of them, put tea and fruit on the stone table, and hid far away.
Lin Lan then told him about how she had handled Qiao Rou.
"I asked Big Uncle to help me hide the person first, who knows when they might come in handy again. I also made arrangements with Zheng's side..."
Li Mingyu stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at Lin Lan, perhaps it was because of Gui Shu's cooking that her face had become even more rounded and radiant, making her big eyes sparkle like the stars in the sky or the dew on a lotus leaf, full of vitality.
"What's with you! Stop spacing out......" Lin Lan glared at him.
Li Mingyun smiled slightly: "You've done a great job, thinking more carefully than I did."
"That's how diligent I am! Finding a partner like you is considered good luck." Lin Lan couldn't help but boast, and as soon as she did, she floated away.
Looking at her spirited and proud appearance, Li Ming couldn't help but chuckle: "Don't tell me you're thinking of asking for a reward again!"
Lin Lan's eyes rolled around in circles, and she suddenly had an idea: "Right, I should get a merit book, write down all the things I've done, three years is too long, what if I forget later and lose out."
Li Mingyun couldn't help but laugh and cry: "You really aren't afraid of trouble."
Lin Lan widened her eyes: "Can earn silver still afraid of trouble? Is holding a golden spoon, never experienced bitter days, do not know the importance of silver, I also want to promise my master and brothers, in the future will open the largest medicine shop in the capital!"
"Alright, then let's remember it!" Li Ming said with a pleasant smile.
Lin Lan rolled her eyes, but it was just a joke, who would really remember that!
"By the way, what did Father go out to do today?" Lin Lan asked.
Li Mingyan said lightly: "It's just asking some questions about the test, what kind of questions came out, and how I answered them... Oh, and there's another thing, it's about the wine banquet."
"Still going as planned?"
Li Mingyun nodded.
Lin Lan thought of Jing Bo Hou's hint and said, "I think it's better not to make this banquet too grand. Just invite some close friends and family members to gather together."
Li Ming allowed his eyebrows to furrow slightly: "This is a bit too simple."
"It's better to be simple! Think about it, if we get the top grade this time and have a big celebration, won't that give others a chance to curry favor with us? And then there will be so many eyes watching, some thick and some thin, won't that be unpleasant all around? Why look for trouble? With this much time, wouldn't it be better to calm down and focus on preparing for the imperial examination?" Lin Lan advised.
Li Mingyun lowered his eyebrows and remained silent, walking quietly. Lin Lan's words made sense, but he had been too eager to argue and forgot about the complexities of the imperial court. Historically, those who passed the imperial examination often became high-ranking officials, extremely prominent and sought after by many people. Now, with the Crown Prince's party and the Fourth Prince's party openly competing and secretly fighting each other, it was indeed better for him to keep a low profile and not offend either side.
