Free Web NovelChapter 2613: Chapter 97: Cannot Admit
"Why are you so arrogant today, speaking to our little sister like that? You’ve turned against me in front of Father."
Concubine Sun hurriedly said, "Third Young Master Li, I wouldn’t dare say such things. The lady’s actions are naturally evident to heaven and earth, and if it weren’t true, how could I tell Old Master?"
"So it was you!" Third Young Master Li was furious. "Woman, just you wait. Sooner or later, you’ll regret this."
As for the other concubines, they exchanged glances and all saw the interest in each other’s eyes. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Among them, Concubine Feng said, "Madam, Old Master has treated you well over the years. Why would you do such a thing?"
"Exactly, one should know contentment..."
"..." Several of them chattered on, nearly causing Yang Aoshuang to spit out several liters of blood in anger.
"Shut up, all of you!" Li Shan, hearing the group’s conversation getting more and more out of control, realized they misunderstood his meaning, and directly said, "Second girl went to your courtyard yesterday and heard you and Nanny Yang saying that Third Sister is not of the Li Family’s blood, but rather a child you brought back from outside. Is this true?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Aoshuang and Nanny Yang were both shocked. They had clearly reminded the maids, so how did Li Mengru manage to get in?
Yang Aoshuang glared at Li Mengru. This wretched girl, she really is no good. She ought to be married off to a poor family to suffer for a lifetime.
"Father, you’re talking nonsense, aren’t you?" Third Young Master Li was the first to respond. "How could Third Sister not be our sister? Just look at how alike we are in the corners of our eyes. It’s actually me and Second Sister who have no resemblance at all."
Third Young Master Li’s mind worked quickly. He thought that regardless of whether Third Sister was truly a Li Family daughter, he had to settle this matter. Whether she was or wasn’t, she must be.
The woman destined to marry the prince would certainly want to find ways to connect with the other side, yet their family foolishly wants to distance that connection. It’s absurd, as if their brains have been kicked by a donkey.
Yang Aoshuang’s gaze swept over the crowd, thinking that this matter could never be acknowledged. Otherwise, she would be accused of having a chaotic family bloodline.
"Utter nonsense!" Yang Aoshuang looked sharply at Li Mengru. "Second girl, I have not treated you poorly. Your daily meals and clothing, even if they don’t match up to Miss Le, are several times better than many legitimate daughters in Wangshui Town. And this is how you repay me?"
"Fine, truly fine, I’ve raised an ungrateful wretch over these years." Yang Aoshuang was furious. "The child I carried for ten months, and suddenly it’s not mine? Ridiculous, truly ridiculous. I would like to ask Miss Meng, if Miss Le isn’t mine, then whose blood is she?"
"Mother!" Li Mengru stood up, a faint smile on her lips. "Why deny it? If you hadn’t said it yourself, your daughter wouldn’t have believed it, much less dared to say it in public. And as for whose bloodline Li Luru truly belongs to, shouldn’t you be the one to ask, Mother? You were the one who brought someone else’s child, not my concubine. As for our real Third Sister, wasn’t she buried by Nanny Yang long ago? She was intended to be eliminated from birth. I heard that at the time of her birth, it was in Quanya County, so our real Third Sister must be buried near Quanya County."
"Think about it, every year you go to the county on May 8th, and calculating the time, it’s just a couple of days apart from Li Luru’s birthday." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Li Mengru smiled smugly again, "Never once has there been a missed year. Perhaps Mother goes to pay respects to our little sister."
