Jiu Yiniang's incident was not yet finished and Lao Furen became ill.

Da Furen wait attentively by the bed, serving tea, pouring water, making a big fuss, that even if Lao Furen gives her a cold face, she acted appropriately and generously, utmostly attentive, but in the eyes of others, it is another feeling.

Da Furen personally supervised the person boiling the medicine, Lao Furen called Li Wei Yang to her side and asked "Which play is she singing now?"

Li Wei Yang smiled, "Rest easy, Lao Furen, perhaps Mother has seen that Dage and Dajie are grown ups, became more open-minded and should not always be at odds with you."

Ever since the witchcraft incident, Lao Furen is very clear that her eldest daughter-in-law doesn't say it, but in her heart, she hates her. Although she is still smiling normally, behind her, she is cursing her to an early death. Now with her being so attentive, it cause involuntary tingling on the scalp. Listening to Li Wei Yang, she thought about it carefully, then reacted: "I really love those two children, but they are too disappointing. Min Feng's not much, in the future he can be taught well and then marry a good wife, but Chang Le is just inexcusable! She is always finding faults with everything, thinking that I am creating obstacles along the way, but she didn't even think about what Chang Le has done, if it was not for me helping her cover it up, it would have already became a storm in the city!"

After saying these words, Lao Furen suddenly coughed.

Li Wei Yang hurried over to pat her, said calmly: "Mother is anxious, Dajie is fifteen this year, at the age to get married. In the future if they want to climb into the royal family, they cannot do without Lao Furen socializing amongst them."

The ruckus that Li Chang Le made, her reputation is long ruined, Lao Furen's suggestion is that they should find an ordinary official family to marry her into, with due respect to the Prime Minister's clan, no one will give her the cold shoulder, in the future there will be good days, but this mother and daughter pair want to climb into the royal family. Li family's wealth and rank are enough, is there any need to clamber over the dragon and follow the phoenix1, if not done right, you will lose the rice when you fail to steal the chicken2, this mother and daughter are still inconsiderate and short-sighted. Lao Furen is unhappy and said to Luo Mama: "In a moment, you should think of a way to take her away, I don't want to see her."

Luo Mama smiled and said: "Lao Furen, calm down, in a moment Lao Ye is coming to see you."

Lao Furen hmphed coldly, "I don't know what evil spirit did our Li family offended, ai, a femme fatale, lately as long as it involves that girl, something uneasy is always happening!" She suddenly stopped alarmingly and looked at Li Wei Yang with a bit of embarrassment: "Oh, what I have said, you probably find it annoying, forget it, I shouldn't chatter on about these with a child like you."

Li Wei Yang took a bowl of porridge from the exquisite tray beside her, smiled and said: "That doesn't matter, as long as you want to say it, I will listen obediently. You can push all of your heart's troubles to me, like a big cleanup, after saying it, you will feel better and a lot lighter with no loads."
