After the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion awakened, she no longer wanted to be the mistress o

"This……"

Old Madam Sima fell into deep thought as she looked at the pieces of silk cloth with exquisite craftsmanship. She never imagined that Li Qingwan had already mastered the true skills.

Who taught her? She didn't give her any pointers on this matter. She didn't need to spend time and energy to cultivate her as a stepping stone.

"Mother thinks it's not okay?"

"how come?"

Madam Sima immediately affirmed her value, "Based on my experience, this new piece of cloth will definitely win the Su family. Qingwan, you are really a good daughter-in-law to me!"

These words seemed to be said reluctantly, but Li Qingwan didn't care what she was thinking. She only needed to use this piece of cloth to shut the old woman's mouth.

Even if the old woman suspected that she had an affair with Mu Shenyin, it was just a suspicion. As long as she was careful and didn't let them find any evidence, the old woman could only bear it!

After all, she had already said that she would transfer all the property under her name to Sima Yue at the year-end banquet. As a stepping stone, the old woman would not do anything to her now!

"With her mother's affirmation, Qingwan has more confidence."

The corners of Old Madam Sima's mouth twitched. Even though Li Qingwan took out new cloth, she still didn't allow her to get close to other men. This was the rule of their Sima family.

insurmountable!

"Qingwan, mother knows that you are doing this for the Sima family, but you must understand that what people say is wrong. It is inappropriate for you to bring someone to the workshop. You must remember that you are a married woman. If something unpleasant gets out and affects your reputation, then..."

"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Boss Mu and I are upright and honest. We don't have to worry about other people's gossip. The innocent are innocent. Could it be that mother is also like those gossipers, suspecting Qingwan of being unfaithful to Ayue?"

Li Qingwan's clever move immediately embarrassed Madam Sima. Even though she was dissatisfied in her heart, she couldn't show it.

"How could that be? You are my daughter-in-law. You are doing this for the Sima family. I believe in you!"

Madam Sima was so polite on the surface, but she hated Li Qingwan even more in her heart. This woman dared to have an affair with Mu Shenyin under their noses. She would settle accounts with her only after she transferred all her property to A Yue!

Li Qingwan naturally knew what the old woman was thinking. Even if she was dissatisfied with her now, she could only endure it for the time being. After all, they still wanted all the property under her name. If they broke up now, it would be disadvantageous to the Sima family!

"As long as Mother and Ah Yue believe in me, I have nothing to fear. As for others..."

Li Qingwan laughed evilly, "They are just jealous. After all, it is the dream of many people to have a noble person to help them. Mother, what do you think?"

What, noble person? She actually regarded Mu Shenyin as a noble person?

This made Madam Sima even more dissatisfied, but she couldn't show it. "That's right, Boss Mu has done a favor to our Sima family. Invite him to our house as a guest some other day. I will personally entertain this noble man!"

Seeing that the old woman still wanted to invite Mu Shenyin to her home as a guest, Li Qingwan naturally knew what she wanted to do, "Yes, Qingwan understands, mother, it's time for you to soak your feet."

"Foot soak?"

Old Madam Sima didn't know what Li Qingwan meant. She wanted to soak her feet. This was clearly something she had done wrong, and she was just trying to please her!

"Didn't Divine Doctor Lin say that you need to soak your feet more often to get better faster? Qingwan has already asked someone to prepare hot water. Come on, bring the hot water."

Even though the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have their own thoughts, Li Qingwan is still very filial. This makes Wang Pozi, who is standing by, unable to understand. Li Qingwan clearly has two hearts, so why is she still so filial to the old lady?

It has to be said that she was a little confused.

Li Qingwan personally washed her mother-in-law's feet, which made everyone present think that she was a very good daughter-in-law. While she was washing her feet, Madam Sima looked at her with a complicated expression, "Qingwan, you have worked hard."

"It's not hard. I'm the daughter-in-law of the Sima family. It's my duty to do this for you."

Old Madam Sima would not be moved by her hypocrisy. She knew Li Qingwan's current methods. She did this just to gain the reputation of a good daughter-in-law.

Others would be deceived by her, but she would not. Ever since she learned that Li Qingwan had a close relationship with the man named Mu Shenyin, she no longer believed her words.

She also suspected that Li Qingwan no longer loved her son, but it was just a suspicion and there was no substantial evidence. However, none of this mattered. She had never intended to hand over the Sima family to Li Qingwan.

A stepping stone is always a stepping stone!

She calculated that after Li Qingwan handed over all her property at the year-end banquet, this stepping stone would be useless. She had already found another good marriage for A Yue. As long as the stepping stone transferred all the property to the Sima family, she could marry Lord Wang's daughter in glory.

"You are such a good wife to my mother."

Madam Sima suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Qingwan, your elder sister-in-law will be returning to the Sima family soon. You should make good preparations and have someone clean up her yard."

what?

Sima Yun is coming back?

These words made Li Qingwan's face darken, but she continued to wash her feet without making a sound, "Don't worry, Qingwan will take care of this matter. Sister-in-law hasn't been home for so long, it's time for her to come back and see you when you're old."

"I'm glad you think this way."

After Li Qingwan washed the old woman's feet, she wiped her hands gently, but her face became very ugly, "Mother, I am in trouble now, and I may need your help."

She wouldn't wash the old woman's feet for nothing.

Sure enough, her words made Madam Sima a little unhappy. She coughed and frowned slightly, looking at her, "Qingwan, I am now lying in bed and unable to move. How can I help you?"

"Mother will definitely be able to help with this matter. Qingwan wants the silk weaving secret book that Xiuzhu stole last time."

"What did you say?"

Old Madam Sima didn't expect that she would actually set her eyes on the silk weaving secret book. That was the family heirloom she planned to give to her new daughter-in-law, so how could she give it to Li Qingwan?

Li Qingwan naturally knew that the old woman didn't want to give it, but she had to give it today, whether she wanted to or not!

"If the Sima family wants to gain a foothold in the capital and defeat all silk weavers, they must innovate. That book is very useful to me. I hope my mother can lend it to me."

"This……"

Old Madam Sima thought what she said made sense, but what did it mean to lend it to her? She had already read it, so could it still be called a secret book or something not to be passed on?

Li Qingwan had long seen that the old woman was unwilling to give it to her. In fact, she knew very well what the old woman was planning. However, this time her feet were not washed in vain.

She pretended to be disappointed, "Qingwan understands. Since mother is reluctant, then just pretend that I never mentioned it. How far the Sima family's business can go depends on God's will!"
