My Wife is a Superstar 1983

  In the dead of night, in the red plum-colored embroidered cloud-patterned mosquito net, Li Qianshuo couldn't sleep all night, turning over and over to think about why her grandmother would unexpectedly refuse to protect herself like this, and still be so resolute, it shouldn't be like this!

  The old lady's character is somewhat kind and gentle, with a soft spot for her own family, so she can be coaxed into submission. She only dotes on her own child and ignores the third daughter-in-law. For more than two years now, she hasn't spared any effort, and it's almost done. As long as the old lady agrees to persuade Hou Ye and put some pressure on him, even Hui Chang Gong Zhu can't say anything in front of filial piety. Once they get married, there will be ways to coax big brother into submission.

  Who would have thought that something went wrong at the critical moment, all because of that Auntie Xu, always making things difficult for me. If it weren't for her constantly causing trouble, my grandmother would have agreed to help me long ago. Hmph! Old thing! Sooner or later I'll make you taste my wrath, and then you'll regret treating me like this today!

  A surge of intense resentment and hatred rose up in my heart, I absolutely will not admit defeat like this, I must stand out from the crowd, enjoy wealth and glory, I have the capital for it, I am no worse than anyone else. In terms of looks, I am not inferior to the third young lady of the county, and even surpass them! In terms of talent, they are not as good as me even if they combine their efforts. In terms of wealth, I also have the dowry left by my mother, and I am not short of money. What right do you have to show off in front of me and make me fawn over you? Screw that! I won't, I will let you experience my ferocity, when I take control of the marquis's household, I will make you know what it means to be worse off than dead!

  And then there's Yang Lan, who isn't a good thing either. I was foolish enough to trust her and treat her like a sister at first, but now she won't help me and has repeatedly tried to sabotage my marriage with my cousin. She clearly knows how much I love my cousin, yet she refuses to help me!

  My older cousin likes me. Every time he looks at me, he smiles slightly and his eyes are very gentle. It's just that because of the big taboo of propriety, he doesn't dare to get close to me. They're all bad people who hinder our good relationship! My older cousin clearly has feelings for me!

  Li Qianxue firmly believed that Yang Hao liked her, and it was the Empress Dowager's selfishness that looked down on herself for having no parents, so she refused to agree. I'm a top-notch beauty, why can't I enjoy wealth and glory?

  She couldn't fall asleep all night, racking her brains to think of a way to stay behind. If she really had to leave, how could she make her grandmother remember her and come back for her?

  It was just getting light outside. Li Qianshuo had only just fallen asleep, still in a daze, when she heard someone standing beside her bed calling out to her and shaking her nonstop.

  Last night didn't sleep well, early in the morning disturbing people's dreams, fire rose involuntarily on my head, and my tone was a bit rushed. "What are you making noise about so early? What's going on?" I opened my eyes to see Xiaohong standing at the head of the bed with a wronged expression on her face.

  Xiao Hong was furious in her heart, but she still spoke softly and said: "Mother Xu has come to call us! Let's hurry up and get ready!" She carefully glanced at her own young lady, afraid that she would suddenly become angry again and take it out on herself.

  Li Qianxue's anger suddenly flared up. Without thinking, she pinched Xiao Hong's arm fiercely, and then pinched a few more times in succession, muttering to herself, "You're all cheap women. I won't forgive you!" Her eyes were bloodshot, her face was ferocious and determined, and her appearance was somewhat frightening.

  Xiao Hong bit her teeth and hung her head, tightly pursing her lips as tears fell one by one onto the pink apron. A flower of tears bloomed. Although she felt wronged in her heart and her body ached unbearably, she didn't dare to cry out. The more she cried, the harsher Miss's methods became. Once, when she couldn't bear the pain and cried out, Miss used an embroidery needle to prick her skin, leaving needle marks that took over half a month to fade away.

  It wasn't until Li Qianxue had vented enough that she felt a bit more comfortable in her heart. She sat up, smoothed out her hair, and coldly said: "What are you standing there for? Are you waiting to serve me and help me get dressed? You're as useful as a wooden person!" With a cold rebuke, she disdainfully rolled her eyes.

  Xiao Hong didn't dare to talk back, and quickly picked up the clothes that had been ironed the night before to help Miss get dressed and washed. After tidying up, she brought over a cup of honey water.

  Li Qianxue calmly walked in front of the dressing mirror with a Huang Huali wood carving peony pattern, took another look, and then inserted a golden chrysanthemum-patterned hairpin. Only then did she nod satisfactorily, pick up her teacup and drink it all in one gulp. Remembering that Xu's mother was still waiting outside, her good mood vanished, and her face fell again.

  Things were already packed up yesterday, Li Qian Xue gently got up with the help of Xiao Hong's arm and went out of the house. As soon as they went out, they saw that Mrs. Xu was already waiting in the outer courtyard. There were also several third-rate maids walking back and forth in the courtyard, secretly sizing them up while pretending to sweep the yard.

  Li Qianxue sneered, twitching the corner of her mouth, and instantly straightened her back. In her heart, she cursed, "Hmph! Old thing that refuses to die, only knows how to rely on false bravado!"

  "Oh! How can we trouble Mother Xu to come in person?! Yuwen, why didn't you even offer Mother a cup of tea?! You really are someone without any sense of propriety!" She smiled brightly, with a hint of mockery in her eyes as she gazed at Mother Xu, her gaze full of ridicule.

  Xu's mother let out a cold laugh, immediately bowed and saluted, not daring to make any mistakes. She slightly raised her eyelids, her voice steady and calm, "I have been ordered by the old lady to send Miss back to the Li family for Dragon Boat Festival, so she can reunite with her relatives. Since Miss has packed everything, let's set off!"

  Li Qianxue didn't care what she said, wouldn't believe her anyway, and certainly wouldn't listen to her orders. She raised her right hand, making a stopping gesture, "Hold on, I still need to bid farewell to the old lady before leaving. Can't just slip away quietly, or what kind of person would I be? After all, the old lady has doted on me for so long!"

  With her head held high and a confident air, she walked towards the Pine Crane Hall of Old Lady, not even bothering to acknowledge Mrs. Xu, completely disregarding her presence.

  Xu's mother didn't stop her either, but just gazed at Li Qianxue's back, sneering twice in her heart: "Little hoof, you'll have your time to cry! Even the county princess is polite to me when she sees me. What makes you, a lonely girl, so arrogant? Hmph!"

  Li Qianxue saw that Mrs. Xu did not stop her, and she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. It turned out that this old woman couldn't give a good face to herself, and as soon as she was a bit tough, she was afraid. After all, she was just a lowly servant girl, with a soft bone.

  As she arrived at the entrance of Songhe Hall, the maids in the courtyard were busy with their own tasks, and when they saw her coming, they couldn't help but steal a few glances.

  Li Qianxue was about to enter with Xiao Hong, but was stopped at the door by Furong, who was serving the old lady. With a expressionless face, she made a courtesy call and asked, "The slave girl is ordered by the old lady to let Miss Biao return home and reunite with her relatives as soon as possible, so there's no need to see her. Today, the old lady is not feeling well and will not receive guests! Please leave, Miss Biao!"

  Li Qianxue's expression was colorful, a moment of astonishment, disbelief, red lips slightly open, suppressed sadness and anger flashing on her face in an instant. The residual light in the corner of her eyes seemed to see that the maids in the courtyard were all whispering to each other, their faces alternating between red and white with embarrassment, so ashamed that she wished she could find a seam in the ground to crawl into!

  Furong suppressed her smile and stood at the door, neither speaking nor giving way, refusing to let her enter.

  "I don't believe it, my grandmother loves me the most and will never ignore me. You must be lying, you servant! Get out of my way, I want to go in!" Li Qianshuang finally became anxious, tiptoeing and shouting loudly towards the inside.

  Furong didn't say a word either, stretching out her arm to block Li Qianshuang, not willing to get too close to her, but successfully blocking Li Qianshuang's charging body.

  Li Qianxue wouldn't let it go like this, she didn't want to leave! How could the Li family be compared to the Yang family?! She didn't want to return to that cramped and crowded room, without even her own yard, what about food, drink, and daily necessities, which one could compare to her current life? I'm also a child of the Yang family, why should I suffer, it's not reasonable!

  "Grandma, it's Qianxue! Waaahhh!" Li Qianxue sobbed loudly, covering her face with a handkerchief and crying bitterly. She took advantage of wiping away tears to give Xiaohong a signal, asking her to help squeeze in and clear the way.

  Xiao Hong received the order and didn't dare to disobey, so she reluctantly competed with Furong. However, Furong said: "Miss Biao, this is the old lady's command, even if I were brave enough, I wouldn't dare to forge the old lady's words! In this whole courtyard, everyone is watching, who would dare to do something deceitful? When the Princess returns, won't she skin us alive? You're making things difficult for me, it doesn't make sense." After finishing speaking, she looked at Li Qianshu with ridicule.

  Such a gaze, to Li Qianshuang, was full of ridicule and sarcasm. These underlings were indeed ungrateful white-eyed wolves, shameless things that trampled on the good and fawned on the powerful!

  "You, you... get out of my way!" Li Qianshu stormed forward and slapped Furong's face with her long fingernails. The little maids who were watching the commotion rushed over to intervene, grabbing at hands and embracing bodies. Having been spoiled for years, she was no match for the energetic young maids, and was pulled away in an instant.

  "You, you... none of you will come to a good end!" Li Qianshu's anger was so great that her whole body trembled, her chest heaved up and down, and her small face, the size of a palm, turned bright red due to her agitation, as if it had been stained with rouge, adding a few distinctively beautiful touches.

  Furong looked at her with disdain, her eyes fixed on Li Qianshuo, not willing to back down in the slightest. The servant girls were pointing and whispering to each other, making Li Qianshuo's anger surge up, feeling like her head was about to explode, leaving her mind a complete blank, unsure of what to do next.

  Several people were stunned, the little girls surrounded Li Qianxue, afraid that she would do something extreme again. Furong stood at the door, stubbornly refusing to let her in.

  Just as the courtyard was filled with people, a clear and pleasant voice came from the doorway, "Hey! What's going on? Why is everyone in such a good mood so early, playing games here? Cousin, what's wrong? Why does your face look bad? Furen, you've bullied cousin again, haven't you? Cousin is the old lady's favorite, it's strange if she doesn't scold you!"
