Chapter 2220: Spring is not too late
Later in the evening, Mrs. Ming came out of Mrs. Fang's room refreshed and politely declined Mrs. Fang's invitation to stay for dinner.
"That's all for today. Please take good care of the old lady. I won't disturb you if I have nothing else to do." Mrs. Ming said with a smile.
What I mean is that I will still come to your house if there is anything.
Mrs. Fang just smiled and nodded, "Of course I would love to."
At this time, she didn't know what her precious son had done.
Someone also went to look for Mingchen and said that Mrs. Ming was leaving.
So he also stood up and said goodbye to Shi Li.
Before leaving, as if he suddenly remembered something, he took out a small box and handed it to Shi Li.
"I wanted to give you a gift for your wedding, but I forgot. Take it."
Shi Li subconsciously took the box, thanked him, and watched him leave.
Only when she could no longer see anyone did Shi Li curiously open the box.
What comes into view is an extremely exquisite and luxurious golden hairpin, inlaid with precious gems, sparkling in the sun.
But the first thing Shi Li saw was a silver bell hanging from the bottom of the hairpin.
Among the many complicated tassels, the only silver bell looks particularly small and cute.
I couldn't help but reach out and play it, and I could hear a pleasant sound.
If you take it in front of you and look at it carefully, you will find that the silver bell and the hairpin are not naturally integrated, but were added later.
But what Shi Li liked most was this worthless bell.
This belated coming-of-age gift was especially to her liking.
On the way back, Mrs. Ming couldn't help but pull her son aside to continue complaining.
"I have never seen such a shameless family. They still want to force Li'er to stay with them. They don't even look at Fang Yu's character and see if he is worthy of her!"
Mingchen was just listening to his mother's complaints calmly, but suddenly he raised his head, his eyes turning from calm to serious, "What did mother say?"
"What?" Mrs. Ming was so busy complaining that she didn't notice anything unusual about her youngest son and was stunned by the question.
Mingchen's expression remained calm, but he pressed on, "Didn't the Fang family want Lord Shi to help?"
He had always believed that the Fang family was forcing Shi Lisheng to withdraw just to cut off the connection between them and Shi Mufeng, but what Madam Ming had just said made him realize that he had been overthinking it.
"I thought so before, but look at how Old Madam Fang was today. It's clear that she wants Li'er to marry her good-for-nothing grandson and tie Li'er tightly to his house!" Madam Ming had a vague guess before, but it was completely confirmed today.
A dark look flashed across Mingchen's face. Thinking of Fang Yu's appearance today, his brows furrowed.
There was a strange sour feeling in my heart.
Madam Ming continued to mutter, "When Li'er comes tomorrow, I will have to warn her. Living under the same roof, she must be on guard against people who are desperate. It would be tragic for a good girl to meet the wrong person..."
Later, Mingchen could no longer listen to what Mrs. Ming said and was completely lost in his own thoughts.
After the Ming mother and son left, there was naturally someone who could tell the old lady and Madam Fang about the absurd things that happened in Fang Yu's yard.
Old Madam Fang was lying on the bed, she was so angry that she almost jumped up, and she pointed at Madam Fang and started to scold her.
"What a sin! Look at the good son you raised!!!"
Mrs. Fang was angry and aggrieved.
Although Fang Yu was his son, he had been raised by Madam Fang and pampered since he was a child. Why was she blamed for the trouble now?
But in front of her mother-in-law, she could not refute a word and could only take out her handkerchief and sob.
The whole yard was in chaos, but Shi Li was the only one who was not affected. In her own small yard, she closed the door and read a book and enjoyed the scenery very comfortably.
The maid brought her a plate of snacks. Listening to the noisy sounds next door, she muttered, "It's like this all day long. No good girl would be willing to wade into the muddy water and marry in. You still want to embarrass our girl."
"Be patient, this won't last long." Shi Li was also fed up with the Fang family, but she had only been there for a few days, so it was difficult for her to find an excuse to leave.
Anyway, it's better for her to be trapped here alone than to drag Shi Yu into it with her.
Later, he heard the news that Mr. Fang was furious when he learned that his son had behaved so absurdly.
Not only did she call Fang Yu over and punish her, she also ordered Mrs. Fang to clean up Fang Yu's yard from inside to outside and kick out any maids who were making trouble.
Shi Li stayed indoors, but could not stand the noise next door, which lasted until very late.
It seriously affected her sleep.
So when Shi Li came to Ming Mansion the next day, the first thing Mrs. Ming asked was, "Why do you look so haggard? Did the old lady make things difficult for you?"
Her protective and anxious tone is almost the same as that of her own mother.
