Chapter 2631: Chapter 115: Li Shan Framed
The servant was terrified, dropped the medicine bowl, and immediately came to report it.
Everyone in the room was startled by this news.
Especially the Sun Family, who never expected such a series of mishaps on what was supposed to be a good day. The bride-to-be said she didn’t agree with the engagement, which was annoying enough, but who could have imagined that the bride’s father would die at this moment.
This is extremely unlucky.
This marriage absolutely cannot proceed, otherwise, wouldn’t our second brother-in-law have to wait three years for this girl? The girl’s frivolous gaze in her eyes suggests she might not be good, and who knows what story might unfold in three years?
Thinking of this, the Sun Family sister-in-law hurriedly said, "Madam Li, since your family has matters to attend to, we won’t delay you. Considering the Second Miss disagrees with the marriage, we won’t insist and shall leave it at that."
Given the situation, Yang Aoshuang couldn’t say anything else and had to let Nanny Yang escort the Sun Family people out.
The men in the Li and Sun families in the front courtyard also learned of the situation, and after the Sun Family left, the Li brothers came over.
What Li Mengru had just said already reached the ears of the Li brothers.
Thus, upon seeing Li Mengru, Third Young Master Li gave her a slap.
"You reckless thing! You have tarnished the name of our Li Family. The Sun Family is such a good family and yet you look down on them, next time just find her a hunter from the mountains."
Eldest Young Master Li pulled him back, "Third Brother, Father is more important, we can deal with her later."
"Yes, Third Brother, let’s not discuss this now," Second Young Master Li also advised.
"Hmph!"
The three brothers of the Li Family turned and went inside the room, not noticing the strange look in Li Mengru’s eyes, mixed with excitement and a hint of bloodlust. freёwebnovel.com
When the servant came in to report, she knew her concubine mother had succeeded, not only was her marriage called off, but even Li Luru and that good Third Brother’s were no more.
"Heh heh..." The maids, seeing her laugh at this moment, all thought she had gone mad.
Inside, Yang Aoshuang went forward to check; Li Shan indeed was no longer breathing.
She burst into loud sobs, "Old Master..."
Accompanying him all these years as husband and wife, naturally there was affection. She didn’t want him to recover only to support Mengru, but never wanted him dead.
"Old Master..." Concubine Feng and others cried too; with the head of the family gone, life would be tough for them as concubines.
"Old Master..." This time, Concubine Sun, who followed everyone, rushed over and threw herself on Li Shan, "Old Master, why did you leave so suddenly? What’s to become of me and Second Miss now?"
"You have the nerve to cry?" Yang Aoshuang was filled with anger at the sight of her, "If it weren’t for you and your little hussy, how would the Old Master have fallen ill? How would he have died?"
Hearing this, the other concubines rushed forward, "The Madam is right, it’s all because of you, you wretched woman, always scheming. If it weren’t for you, how could the Old Master have died?"
"You’re talking nonsense!" Concubine Sun said with some guilt, immediately refuting, "How did I cause it? It’s clearly the Third Miss who angered him to death."
"Does she still dare to argue?" At this point, Yang Aoshuang couldn’t care about anything else and stepped on her foot.
Li Luru saw the chaos inside the room, arguing before the deceased, which was truly disrespectful to the deceased.
After thinking for a moment, she picked up a nearby bottle and smashed it down.
The crisp sound stopped everyone from pulling and tugging at each other.
At this moment, Eldest Young Master Li said, "Mother, let’s first see how to handle Father’s affairs."
