The Wife is a Demon 76 Released on Tian Tian Shu Ba

  Master, rest assured that the gift was delivered yesterday by Biyun herself. It's a set of nine linked yellow jade rings to help her pass the time while she's ill. Biyun also conveyed Miss's condolences and regrets to her.

  Such a small matter doesn't need the master's reminder, being a servant is good if you're considerate and always understand the master's needs.

  Yang Lan nodded, "With Nanny around, I can rest assured. This trip out, bring a few maids, you arrange it!"

  Lin's nanny had expected this, the young master didn't like to bother with these small matters. She smiled and said: "I think all four of you big girls will have to bring some servants, leave the second girl Qingmeng to take care of the house, and the rest will bring a team of guards. If we bring too many girls, it'll be chaotic. We can do some small chores ourselves, so we don't need to bring any rough maids. And we should also bring two married women, as they are more convenient for handling certain matters."

  Yang Lan thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, then you'll have to work hard. You don't need to bring so many clothes, just pick some convenient ones to take with you. There's no need for anything too fancy, ordinary fabric will do when we're out on the road. It would be better to bring more undergarments to change into, and as for other things, bringing more silver is fine. Once we're on the road, don't be so particular, bring my large and small painting boards, and pack up that set of small brushes, ink, and inkstone."

  "Master, rest assured, I've taken note of everything," she said before withdrawing to pack up her things.

  The maids in the courtyard were busily packing things up with great enthusiasm, their excitement couldn't be concealed at all. The courtyard was bustling with activity, looking extremely lively.

  Li Qianxue, on the other hand, cried miserably. Her whole body broke out in red rashes, which the imperial physician said was caused by an allergic reaction. She needed to rest and avoid drafts, but fortunately it was discovered early and with good care, there would be no scarring.

  Li Qianxue was lying on the carved bed, crying uncontrollably. The old lady was so heartbroken that she kept pacing back and forth at the head of the bed, "Good child, don't cry, my old heart is going to break!" She couldn't help but feel regretful in her heart. She had been suspicious all along about why the princess had compromised so easily this time, and now she knew!

  But you can't say that the other person is wrong, there's no evidence! Watching my granddaughter cry so sadly, I feel heartbroken and guilty too.

  It's all because I was too impatient, if only I had been more gentle, perhaps my granddaughter wouldn't have to suffer like this.

  Li Qianxue cried bitterly, wiping away tears with a handkerchief. Her autumn-water-like eyes were filled with sour and bitter tears, yet she still forced a smile on her face. "Grandmother doesn't need to worry about me. I'm fine. The imperial physician said that I'll be better in half a month, didn't he? It's just a pity that I won't be able to go out and have fun with my sister." After speaking, the small face as big as a palm was dull and without luster, her expression gloomy and regretful, making her look even paler and more haggard.

  Now, the old lady can no longer guarantee anything. Others may not know, but she is very clear that this time, Princess Chang is a warning. If there is another time, her granddaughter might really die silently and quietly, how would she be able to face her deceased daughter then?

  "After thinking for a long time, he said: 'Girl, some people are not what you think they are. Forget it! Don't be so stubborn, you can't twist the big leg with your small arm!' He sighed and turned to leave, reminding the maid in the courtyard to take good care of her."

  Li Qianxue stared blankly at her departing grandmother, unable to believe that she would no longer support her. Hadn't they agreed on this before?

  Xiao Hong walked forward with a cup of hot tea and gently comforted her, saying: "Miss, don't be sad anymore, have a cup of tea!"

  Li Qianxue's heart was filled with sorrow and she couldn't help but shed tears, "Xiao Hong, what did I do wrong? Why is everyone treating me like this?! Old Lady clearly told me. My mother had discussed this matter with my uncle before, wasn't it agreed upon? How could my mother change her mind as soon as she left?!"

  Xiao Hong sneered in her heart, who do you think you are? You still want to cling to the son of the Grand Princess, without even looking at what kind of person you are!

  "On the surface, however, he said with a furious expression: 'Miss, I heard them all saying that it's... it's...' He looked very embarrassed and didn't dare to say it."

  Li Qianxue wiped away her tears and opened her mouth in annoyance, "What's there to say? Who's blocking your mouth? Spit it out!"

  "They said the princess didn't want to... that's why you got sick, miss...!" Xiaohong was about to say something but stopped herself.

  Li Qianxue was as if struck by lightning, and for a long time she couldn't recover her composure. Her face was pale and wan, as if she had suffered a great blow. She kept muttering to herself, "It's clearly something that was decided long ago! Why doesn't she want to? Isn't it supposed to be Uncle who makes the decisions? Yes, it's definitely Uncle who makes the decisions. It must be that Princess who is interfering with us, looking down on my parents for passing away without leaving any power behind!" The more she thought about it, the more she felt that was the case.

  If Yang Lan were here, she would definitely be shocked, and it has to be said that she was right about half of it.

  Xiao Hong hung her head with a sly smile, smiling somewhat gleefully.

  She didn't tell Li Qianxue that when her mother was ill, she really felt that she wouldn't live long and wanted to make arrangements for her daughter. She wrote a letter to Hou Ye thinking of arranging a marriage between her daughter and his eldest son, so that in the future, there would be a way out with the support of the Hou family.

  But she had no idea what responsibilities the mistress of the Hou Mansion should bear, and thought that her daughter was definitely a good one who could be matched with any kind of man, without ever thinking about the problem of her daughter not being able to bear it.

  However, this matter was strongly opposed by the eldest princess, and the marquis himself did not quite agree with it either. The children were still too young to see what would come of it, and it was really too hasty to arrange a marriage at this time. Moreover, as the future heir of the Marquis's estate, the choice of wife for Huan Ge had to be reported to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and it was not something that they could decide on their own.

  Finally, the Fourth Master only agreed to take good care of his niece, implicitly declining his sister's request. However, she didn't think so and thought it was an agreement. She even sent a letter to the old lady saying that her brother had agreed, causing the old lady to misunderstand as well.

  At first, the old lady also thought that her daughter might have misunderstood, but later she saw that Lord Hou was very considerate of the Li family and regularly sent people to deliver gifts and visit Li Qianshuo during holidays. She gradually believed it in her heart. When Lord Hou returned to the capital, the old lady said that she would go pick up her granddaughter to raise her, and Lord Hou nodded immediately without hesitation. What does this mean? The old lady felt much more at ease in her heart.

  However, the old lady was not as simple as Li Qianxue. She thought that Princess Chang would definitely be unwilling, but she felt that the child was still young and could be trained. As long as Li Qianxue herself could stand up for it, this marriage might not necessarily fail. Once, the grandmother and grandson whispered to each other, and another time, the old lady and Mrs. Xu whispered to each other. Letting her granddaughter unintentionally overhear, she thought it was a settled matter and secretly harbored thoughts in her heart, which was also something the old lady had not expected.

  Li Qianxue's heart was like a scorching hot oil, unbearable and sorrowful, yet she couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Empress Chang. What was wrong with her? How could she look down on me like that?! It was clearly a marriage arranged by my uncle and mother, why did she have to oppose us?! A wife should follow her husband as heaven, what right did she have to oppose us?! We were meant to be together!

  I grew up with my cousin, and we can be considered childhood sweethearts. Why must you separate us like a mandarin duck couple?

  I thought this was a good opportunity to get in touch with my brother. But the princess wants to secretly deal with me herself. She won't let me go, how can I not hate her?!

  Lying in bed, I couldn't rest well, turning over and thinking about these things, and feeling that Liu Mei was also a deceitful person. Last time when she said those words, it was probably the Empress Dowager's intention, otherwise why would she say that my brother must marry a girl from a noble family? This is clearly a warning to me! Poor me, I foolishly thought they were doing it for my own good!

  The stupidest one is actually me! I still treated her as a sister, with the intention of getting along well with her. It turns out that everyone was speaking ill of me and even made me bedridden. Let's wait and see, time will tell! I'll return the big gift you gave me to you!

  Li Qianxue's anger grew as she thought about it, and she couldn't help but hate Yang Lan along with it. Her eyes flashed with resentment. Her fists were clenched tightly together, her sharp fingernails digging into her flesh without feeling any pain.

  Seeing Li Qianxue's appearance, Xiaohong pursed her lips and secretly smiled with joy in her heart, unable to bear the pleasure of letting you also taste the flavor of being abandoned by everyone. I will let you have a good taste too.

  The next day, Yang Lan and Yang Huan bid farewell to everyone under the send-off of the crowd. Yang Lan excitedly waved goodbye to her parents, "Dad and mom, I'll write you a letter! Second sister, third sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, wait for me to bring you gifts!" She was still in the excitement of leaving home and going out to play!

  After saying goodbye to everyone, Yang Hao set off with his sister Yang Lan. Li Qianxue didn't come to see them off because she was sick and couldn't stand the wind, and Yang Lan also knew better than to ask too many questions.

  Some people insist on colliding head-on with a stone wall; she can only keep a safe distance from danger.

  After leaving the city and meeting up with Master Minghui, they headed to Anhui together. Along the way, Yang Lan kept chattering away, asking Master Minghui if Anhui was fun, what delicious food there was, and whether the temples there were also called Puzi Temple? This got on Master Minghui's nerves so much that she handed Yang Lan a Buddhist scripture, telling her to calm down and quiet her mind.

  As they left the city, the crowd gradually thinned out, and Yang Lan's courage grew. She lifted the curtain and poked her little head out to look around, her big apricot eyes filled with curiosity and delight. It was only then that Ming Hui felt that Yang Lan looked like a child, as she had been too mature before, not like a ten-year-old child at all.

  Yang Lan's mood was as bright and sunny as the weather, while the people in the Hou Mansion were not feeling so good. They missed Hui Chang Gongzhu, who had just left. When she was there, they found her chattering annoying, but now that she was gone, the house seemed too quiet, to the point where you could hear a pin drop, and the silence was suffocating.

  Even Yang Xu felt a bit down, his daughter was not around to read books for him, he couldn't hear her clear and pleasant voice, nor could he hear her regular reminders to eat, rest, and protect his eyes. Without this little nagging presence, it really felt a bit unusual!

  Li Qianxue wore a cloak and stood in front of the window, gazing out into the distance with an uncertain look in her eyes. "Have they left?"

  Xiao Hong nodded carefully, "Yes, miss, they've already left!" She replied cautiously, afraid of offending this moody master.

  Since she fell ill, she has become increasingly eccentric, laughing and crying at random, and it's impossible to guess what's on her mind, let alone persuade her.
