♂?，，

  In the study, Li Jingxian floated a cup of tea and said in a flat tone: "A little girl, just send her away if you want to, it's not a big deal."

  "The son had originally wanted to let the matter drop, with just a slight reprimand. But she thought that by making false accusations against others, she could clear herself of blame. This kind of person is a troublemaker, and if we keep her around, she'll only bring shame to our household... I'm afraid Mother won't be able to understand the son's good intentions." Li Mingyu slightly lowered his head, with his usual humble attitude and cautious tone.

  Li Jingxian's gaze turned around the whirlpool at his hairline, and he vaguely thought of Ye Shi's head also having such a whirlpool, always with a shy and charming lowered head, suddenly raising her eyes, that smile was like a sea peach blossoming... Li Jingxian withdrew his gaze, sighed softly, Ye Shi had been in charge of the household for over a decade, the household had always been peaceful, never producing such a wicked slave, it was truly a case of a wicked master breeding a wicked servant.

  "This is also Father's intention." Li Jingxian said slowly.

  Li Mingyu's attitude became more and more humble: "After all, this matter is inseparable from my son, it's embarrassing for me as a father."

  Li Jingxian took a sip of tea and said, "Originally, taking in Bai Hui's maid wasn't a big deal, but her behavior makes people not dare to associate with her, no wonder she's angry." After a moment of silence, as if thinking for a moment, he said, "Speaking of which, Lin Lan has been married for several months now, why is there still no news?"

  Li Mingyu said cautiously: "Lan'er was often ill when she was young, so her physical foundation is a bit weak. That's why she went back to study medicine. These few years have been slowly nursing her back to health, and there has been some improvement. As for having children, although our son is also looking forward to it, I think that if the mother's physique is weak, it won't be good for the child... So let's wait patiently for a while, until she's fully recovered, and then we can have children without worrying about it being too late. Besides, big brother has been married for almost a year now, and he still doesn't have any children. It wouldn't be right for our son to try to rush ahead of his big brother..."

  Li Jingxian sighed, "That's true, I think Eldest Sister's body is also weak. Poor Grandmother keeps mentioning the importance of having a grandson, our Li family has everything but lacks people."

  Li Mingyu said: "Father was in his prime, if it wasn't for Liu Niangniang... Grandmother would still be able to hold her grandson!"

  These words struck Li Jingxian's sore spot, and his eyes had a hidden anger. Because of this matter, he spent the whole year without much spirit. Fortunately, the poison on Liu Niang's body gradually cleared up. The evil deeds created by Han Shi would eventually have to be settled with her one day, so let's tolerate her for now and wait patiently for the opportunity!

  Li Mingyun had achieved his purpose in this conversation, so he cupped his hands and said: "It's getting late, son, go back and change your clothes first, then go to pay respects to your grandmother."

  Li Jingxian nodded: "Go first!"

  Waiting for Li Mingyun to leave, Li Jingxian also put down his teacup and called Ah Jin: "Go to Chaohui Hall."

  "Sir, aren't you going back to Ninghetang first?"

  Li Jingxian's face sank: "Too talkative."

  Li Jingxian entered the hall, and before he could even warm up his buttocks, Mrs. Han arrived. Li Jingxian originally wanted to have a good talk with his mother about the shortcomings of her beloved daughter-in-law, but now he had to swallow his words.

  The old lady saw the couple coming, one after another, and Jing Xian had a hesitant expression again. She thought to herself that they must have been talking too much, and her heart was filled with anxiety. Jing Xian's relationship with Han Shi was getting colder and colder, which wasn't a good thing. All women will experience a decline in their beauty as they age, gradually losing favor is normal, but a wife cannot be abandoned, Jing Xian had lost his sense of propriety.

  "Is the old lady having a good rest?" Mr. Han bowed and sat down beside her.

  "It's probably because I'm getting older, and every move makes my whole body ache." The old lady smiled: "I called for Mama Zhu to massage me a few times, and it finally felt a bit looser."

  Mom smiled and said: "These few moves of massage are still taught by Second Auntie, quite useful"

  "The church has taught her well, she's become more frugal." The old lady smiled faintly.

  "Second Young Mistress is not comparable to me, an old servant. I am specifically serving the Old Madame, while Second Young Mistress still has to serve Second Young Master! Moreover, both young mistresses are very filial to you, inquiring about your well-being morning and night, warmer than your own daughter." Zhumama said with a smile.

  The old lady smiled perfunctorily.

  Mr. Han took over: "Yu Yan and Lin Lan are naturally very good, if they can let the old lady hold her grandson earlier, it would be even better."

  The old lady was slightly disappointed and said: "Yes! It's almost been a year since Yu Fan entered the house, but there is still no good news.

  "Today we made a wish in front of the Guanyin statue, I believe good news will come soon." Mother smiled and said.

  Ms. Han said: "If we want the Bodhisattvas to show their spirit, they must have a mind of their own, but I'm afraid that since they are young, they can't understand our thoughts as elders."

  Li Jingxian frowned in displeasure: "One's children and grandchildren have their own blessings, why bother with this idle concern."

  Mrs. Han smiled slightly, and it was clear that Master was blaming her for meddling in other people's business.

  The old lady said lightly: "This is a matter of having children, it's a very important thing, how can we not worry? You are still young and don't need to rush, but my wife is already half in the ground, I don't want to leave without peace of mind."

  Li Jingxian said with a serious expression: "Mother is still in her prime, and will surely have good fortune in the future, so please don't worry."

  "Old Master is right, Old Lady, you're still in good health! Not to mention holding a great-grandchild, even if it's a great-great-grandchild, I can hold them. Later, I'll have a good talk with Lin Lan and tell her to take some fertility medicine, the younger she is, the more children she should have."

  The old lady frowned and said in surprise: "What? Lin Lan took an abortion pill?"

  Ms. Han hurriedly covered her mouth, as if she had accidentally said something she shouldn't have, and awkwardly said: "N-no, nothing."

  The old lady said with a gloomy face: "Don't deceive me, I just feel strange. If Yuanyuan is weak and sickly and can't get pregnant, it's normal. But Linlan, she looks fine to me, how could there be no news? It turns out that she took an abortion pill. Is this reasonable? If she doesn't want to have children, what's the point of marrying her?"

  "The young couple may have their own considerations." Mr. Han said weakly.

  "What's the big deal? Is there anything more important than children? No, this matter needs to be taken care of. Can't let her do as she pleases, never seen a decent woman who doesn't want to have kids and still eats those birth control pills." The old lady said with a stuffy tone.

  Li Jingxian glared at Han Shi and said in a bad temper, "If you don't know the situation, then don't chatter nonsense here, lest you provoke Mother into displeasure."

  She said to the old lady, "This matter, her son knows about it. Don't look at Lin Lan being fine, but in fact, her body is also weak. When she was young, she was physically weak and sickly, so she went to study medicine. These years have been spent nourishing herself. Ming Rong also took into account the health of his mother, if she wasn't healthy it would affect the child, just like Madame Jingbohou. Although Lin Lan did her best to keep the child safe, this child is still somewhat weak due to congenital deficiencies compared to others. As a doctor, Lin Lan herself knows when it's suitable to have children."

  The old lady grumbled: "I didn't see that she was also a weak and sickly one."

  The mother smiled and said: "Second young lady, isn't it that you're still young? Old lady, please be patient and wait a little longer."

  "It's not a small age, after the New Year, it will be seventeen. When I was seventeen, I already had Jingwen." The old lady still seemed somewhat displeased and sighed.

  Mr. Han thought that Master and Mistress were unaware of Lin Lan's abortion, but unexpectedly, Master not only knew about it but also helped Lin Lan speak up, disrupting her plan again, leaving her at a loss for words.

  Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Since the second young mistress is still young, it's hard for her to bear the heavy responsibility of having children. Why not let the second young master take a concubine? The second young master is not young anymore, others at this age have already become fathers."

  Mother secretly smiled coldly at this remark. The elder young master is two years older than the second young master, why not worry about the elder young master?

  Li Jingxian immediately retorted: "What nonsense are you talking about? The eldest grandson of the Li family can only be a legitimate child, and there's no way to blur the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate."

  Mother Jiang was scolded by Old Master and trembled with fear, not daring to speak again.

  Old Master scolded again: "It's precisely these slaves who are afraid that the world is not chaotic, they keep provoking the mistress to do some absurd things, stirring up trouble and making the family restless. I think it would be better to drive them out of the house along with Deng Mama."

  Mother Jiang trembled again and hastily knelt down: "Master is angry, it's this old slave's fault for being inconsiderate and speaking nonsense, this old slave dares not do so again."

  Han's head was throbbing with anger, it seemed that Master had thoroughly taken Li Mingyu and his wife's side.

  The old lady gave her son a sideways glance: "What's the point of throwing such a big tantrum? Aunt Jiang was just casually saying something."

  Mr. Han smiled and said, "What Aunt Jiang means is that Mingyun should take a concubine, so Linlan can hurry up, otherwise, the young couple will be at ease, when will we wait?"

  Li Jingxian didn't dare to speak so loudly anymore, and coldly said: "Let's focus on Mingze first! Next month Mingze will be taking the exam, stop messing around and let this family have some peace. Don't worry about Mingze's affairs later, if you're still muddled and unclear, then get out of my house!"

  The old lady heard something unusual and asked Mrs. Han: "What did Deng Mama do wrong?"

  Li Jingxian replied, "Deng Mama is not good at managing the kitchen. She likes to give orders and do evil things in the name of the mistress. I was worried that she would tarnish the mistress's reputation, so I drove her out." He then said to Han Shi, "In the future, you must be more careful when selecting servants, don't always choose those who are not sensible." As he spoke, he glared at Jiang Mama standing beside Han Shi, as a warning.

  Han heard the implication in Master's words, that Master said Deng Mama was issuing orders in her name and didn't want to pursue her mistakes. She immediately replied obediently: "Master's reminder is that it's all because of my own lack of strict governance. I've been wanting to deal with her for a long time, but I've been thinking about the times when she was useful... Ah! In the end, it's still her own fault for not being self-disciplined."

  The old lady didn't quite understand, but her son had taught his daughter-in-law a lesson, and she still wanted to save face for him. Besides, Han Shi herself was also self-reproaching, so there was no need to pursue the matter further, lest it stir up more trouble. She changed the subject: "When are Ming Ze and Ming Yun coming?"
