“You…” Madam Luo gritted her teeth with hatred upon realizing this person’s disdain. Then, she took out a handkerchief and began crying sadly.

“I worked hard for ten months to conceive and gave birth to a child and walked through the gates of death. I finally brought him up, but I didn’t expect to raise a white-eyed wolf. After more than a year of marriage, he didn’t even return to home. Are you not going to recognize me as your mother?”

Hearing this, Li Wu’s face froze. Considering the situation during the young master and young madam’s marriage, who would remember to return after marriage? The young master at that time was so disgusted that it would have been nice to just send him back without writing a letter of divorce.

The young master was young and not taken seriously in the Li Mansion. He had no say in many things. In the end, the matter about returning home was forgotten. Now that the young master and the young madam were in good terms, young madam’s mother came to visit, Li Wu really couldn’t explain it clearly.

“Madam, you have been crying for several days. If you continue crying, you may hurt your eyes,” the maid next to Madam Luo stepped forward to comfort her at the right time, but her words made people sympathize with this woman even more, thinking that she was truly a good mother.

Even the man who hadn’t left couldn’t help but say to Li Wu, “Brother, why don’t you help her in? This is your young madam’s mother after all.”

Hiding behind the door, Xiao Liu heard the conversation clearly and was so angry that he stamped his feet inside. When the young madam first entered the Li Mansion, he looked more like a servant than a young master. He remembered the first time he helped the young madam changed his clothes, the new and old wounds on his body were shocking. Did this woman really regard the young madam as her own child?

Now, she dared to accuse the young madam of wrongdoing. If not for fearing that the young madam would be laughed at by people outside, Xiao Liu would have rushed out and yelled.

“What’s the use of being angry here? Leave it up to me.” Tan Eyu suddenly appeared behind Xiao Liu. Listening to the woman outside still chattering, her figure disappeared in a flash.

Seeing Tan Eyu taking action, Xiao Liu immediately became curious about what she was going to do and quietly peeked out from the courtyard.

.

“I have been waiting day and night in the house for you to bring your new husband back to see your mother. Who would have thought that I have been waiting for a year? People never come. And I came to ask questions, but you drive me back again and again, you heartless thing, forgetting your roots as soon as you got married.”

Seeing someone speaking up for her, Madam Luo felt proud and cried even harder, but the maid next to her suddenly looked blank, as if possessed by an evil spirit. She took Madam Luo’s arm and said, “Madam, is it possible that the young madam doesn’t want to come out to meet you because you often beat him in the past?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? When did I beat him before?” Madam Luo stared at her maid with wide eyes.

“Madam, you have forgotten that you used to vent your anger on the young madam every day, saying that his bad face did not please the master, which made you fall out of favor. You beat the young madam half to death every time and often did not give him food. You wanted to starve him to death. So, the young madam must be heartbroken.”

“Shut up, you stinky girl,” Madam Luo trembled with anger. How could she beat and scold Cheng Qi only because she fell out of favor? Yes, this maid must have been bribed by someone to talk nonsense here.

“But the young madam doesn’t want to see the madam now, so you won’t get any money. What can you do about the gambling debt you owed secretly without telling the master?” The maid didn’t care about herself and kept talking.

When Xiao Liu heard Tan Eyu’s nonsense, he hid behind the door and laughed so much that he almost couldn’t straighten up.

The person who spoke for Madam Luo earlier had a bit of embarrassment on his face. He bowed apologetically to Li Wu and quickly got on the carriage and left. Unexpectedly, he almost did someone a harm with good intentions. He still didn’t want to be involved in other people’s business.

When Madam Luo saw the man’s reaction, she immediately felt like she had to jump into the Yellow River to clean herself up. She cursed angrily, “Shut up, who told you to slander me like this? When did I owe gambling debts? You keep talking nonsense. Be careful, I will tear your mouth apart.”

The maid seemed to have woken up from a big dream. She was so frightened that she fell to her knees and said, “I did not say those words just now. Madam, please believe me.”

“This madam, I think you should go back,” Li Wu suppressed a smile in his heart but ordered, in an extremely serious tone, for the woman in front of him to be get away.

Madam Luo glared bitterly at Li Wu, then turned around and returned to the carriage. When the maid saw this, she quickly got up from the ground and chased after her. This villa was very eerie, and she didn’t want to be left behind by her madam.

.

On the way back, Madam Luo became angry when she saw the maid sitting next to her. She twisted the back of the maid’s arm viciously to vent her anger, “You actually dare to spoil my good deeds. Let’s see how I deal with you when I get back.”

Madam Luo had heard long ago that the popular pharmacist in Jincheng, Alchemy Pavilion, turned out to be Li Tianyan. Thinking that Alchemy Pavilion’s business was booming, Li Tianyan must have made a lot of money, and that shuanger enjoyed the blessings while he hid in the villa. The resentment in Madam Luo’s heart couldn’t be held back anymore.

She thought that this time she could at least take something from that person, but in the end, her maid ruined the opportunity. Now, with no gains, Madam Luo’s face was full of unwillingness, and she said, “Today is your lucky day. It won’t be so easy next time.”

“Madam, the maid really couldn’t help it just now. Those words were not voluntarily said by the little one,” the maid explained with an aggrieved look.

“You can’t help yourself? Could it be that there is a ghost forcing you to say it?” Madam Luo sneered mockingly.

At that moment, the carriage suddenly shook violently, then toppled to the ground. The two people inside were thrown out onto the grass. Before Madam Luo could see clearly what happened, a strong wind blew over them, and she screamed, “There’s a ghost!”
