Chapter 1098 - 909: The Eldest Princess Attends the Hall
The National Master looked up at the sky upon hearing the words, then looked down at the young disciple beside him, and smiled gently at her."From the moment you took that stab for me, your destiny has been detached from this mortal world."
"Ah! Why is that?"
Li Yanyan was puzzled and after a while asked again, "What about my parents and Grandma?
Will I never see them again in the future?"
The National Master looked at her face, and through her features saw the final fate of her loved ones.
"Everything depends on the will of heaven!"
With that, he turned around and returned to the secret chamber to meditate.
Back at the Li Family, Madam Li returned to the mansion with a heavy heart, inquired about Li Xu’s whereabouts, and went to find him.
"The National Master won’t let Yanyan return to the mansion?
He even said she will never be allowed to return again?"
"Yes, Master, this is the National Master’s exact words, saying that she’s someone who cultivates, severing ties with the mortal world!"
Madam Li was filled with anger today, having carefully selected a daughter-in-law only to be humiliated by the Ji Family. Yet, she didn’t dare to offend the majesty of the Royal Family, and had to put on a smile and eat at the banquet before coming back!
She initially intended to use the New Year as an excuse to bring back the Lucky Star who had connections with the National Master’s mansion, but the National Master spoke of severing ties with the mortal world.
"Master, the Ji Family is too much, letting a little maid stand while our eldest daughter-in-law knelt in the snow to listen and learn the rules. There were so many people around, watching!
In the future, how many people in this capital will laugh at our Li Family?"
At this moment, Li Xu felt a headache, rubbing his brow with his right hand continuously, "You shouldn’t be angry, we didn’t expect to gain much benefit when we brought back the Lucky Star from the start.
This humiliation and loss of face our eldest daughter-in-law suffered today pales in comparison!"
"Husband! It’s my fault, I should have stopped our eldest daughter-in-law at that time, but the situation was too sudden, I was taken aback.
Princess Lianchun’s aura is too powerful, even when I met the Empress Dowager during the Double Ninth Festival palace banquet, I wasn’t so scared.
But today, with Princess Lianchun just sitting there, a single glance or casual sound from her sent a terrifying signal from deep inside me!"
Madam Li recalled everything that happened today and felt a chill running down her spine!
"Having offended Princess Lianchun, our eldest daughter-in-law might find it hard to move an inch in the capital in the future!"
Li Xu sat on the chair behind him, taking a deep breath, extremely agitated. With the new dynasty, their Li Family had barely managed to reenter the court’s view with the newly reestablished clan.
"Offending royal power is truly terrifying!"
Madam Li took a deep breath, burying her head in her hands.
"Let’s find a new wife for our eldest son!"
Finally, Li Xu spoke nonchalantly.
Madam Li suddenly lifted her head, looking at him in disbelief!
"You... what do you mean?"
She stood up abruptly, her body trembling involuntarily.
"Don’t you understand yet?
Our eldest daughter-in-law is a fool. Knowing that Chang Rongshun and the Princess are the Emperor’s darlings, Princess Lianchun has loved the Emperor dearly since childhood, their sibling bond is deep.
Even if she just returned, she would undoubtedly cherish Chang Rongshun and the Princess because of the Emperor. In such circumstances, she dared to stand out.
Doesn’t even understand the principle that the bird that sticks out gets shot!
Just how did you choose such a daughter-in-law?"
Li Xu also became angry, slapping the table and yelling at Madam Li.
The maids outside the study heard the commotion inside, and they couldn’t help but tremble in fear, covering their mouths tightly.
However, after the incident, rumors spread outside; it was said that the eldest young lady of the Li Family had angered Princess Lianchun, and was made to kneel and learn rules under the watch of a maid in the Ji Family courtyard, losing face for the Li Family, and was soon to face the fate of being dismissed by her husband’s family!
As these rumors spread, the New Year quietly approached.
After the thirty-first of the lunar year, on the first day, ladies of any standing would take their legitimate daughters to attend banquets!
The Li Family brought Li Zhujun, this time not bringing their eldest young lady.
As always, the Song Family brought Song Yingxue, and the Xie Family... it was said Xie Yingying was ill.
On the first day, everyone saw Xiaosuisui behaving exceptionally well, greeting and paying respects according to etiquette, being praised as the most beautiful little girl of the New Year!
