After arranging for Xue Xuerou to stay in a house outside, Li Renhuai began writing letters to Jiang Chunxi.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go to the Yan residence to find Jiang Chunxi, but he was still afraid of being beaten after his previous act of apologizing with thorns on his back, so he thought of inviting Jiang Chunxi out by writing a letter.

However, all the letters he sent went unanswered, and while Li Renhuai was in a state of great anxiety, news arrived that Jiang Chunxi had entered the palace as a concubine.

Yes, after unanimous discussion among the elders of the Jiang family, Grand Tutor Jiang risked his reputation to enter the palace and beg the Emperor, which led to the Emperor issuing an imperial decree for Jiang Chunxi to enter the palace as a concubine.

In the Emperor's heart, Grand Tutor Jiang was no different from his elder. Therefore, when Grand Tutor Jiang cried with red eyes, saying that his granddaughter's reputation was ruined and begged the Emperor to let his granddaughter enter the palace and give her a place to live in peace, he did not ask the Emperor to favor his granddaughter, but only that his granddaughter could live peacefully in the palace until old age.

How could the emperor refuse? So he bestowed upon Jiang Chunxi the title of Consort Shu, and she entered the palace three days later.

“That bitch Jiang Chunxi, how dare she,” Li Renhuai roared, “that fickle slut Yang Hua, how dare she betray me and enter the palace to serve the Emperor.”

"Shut up!" Father Li slammed his hand on the table. "If you want to die, then go die now. No one will stop you. Don't you think about it? Jiang Chunxi is now a Consort Shu, personally appointed by the Emperor. If word gets out that you're being so unrestrained, do you want the entire Ningxin Marquis's mansion to die with you?"

“Lord, Renhuai was just angry and made a fuss at home. Why are you so furious?” Madam Li said. “Besides, Renhuai is right! Jiang Chunxi is a fickle and promiscuous woman.”

“She and Renhuai have been betrothed since childhood, and she almost got married to Renhuai. Who else could she marry in this life besides Renhuai?” The more Li’s mother spoke, the angrier she became. “But that slut of hers, instead of taking the opportunity Renhuai offered, actually went to the palace to become a concubine.”

"I don't know what the Emperor was thinking. How could he be so foolish as to bring a promiscuous woman like Jiang Chunxi into the palace..."

"Snapped!"

Father Li slapped Mother Li hard across the face: "You dare to slander even the Emperor? You really have a lot of nerve! I really regret it! I regret how I married such a stupid woman like you."

Father Li now truly regrets his decision to marry Mother Li, who came from a humble background, against his parents' wishes.

“Lord, how dare you hit me!” Madam Li covered her stinging face, looking at her husband in disbelief. “You heartless bastard, have you forgotten the promise you made before you married me, that you would cherish me, love me, and spoil me for the rest of your life?”

"What's wrong now? Seeing that I'm old and faded, you heartless bastard have forgotten your promise and are planning to beat me to death so you can marry a young and beautiful second wife, is that it?"

"Alright, Mother, what time is it? Can you stop being so unreasonable?" Li Renhuai said irritably. "Instead of wasting your time being so unreasonable, you should help your son think of a way to stop Jiang Chunxi from entering the palace. Otherwise, if Jiang Chunxi really enters the palace and whispers something in the Emperor's earldom, then our Ningxin Marquis's Mansion will really have no way to survive."

“Stop him,” Father Li glared at his son, “The imperial decree has already been issued, what other way is there to stop Jiang Chunxi from entering the palace?”

Immediately, the father got up and kicked his son, saying, "It's all because of you, you idiot! If I had known you were such an idiot, I should have just strangled you when you were born."
