Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Mrs. Sang arrived at Li's house early in the morning. She had been thinking about countermeasures all night.

He decided to first ask the Li family if they still needed the help of the Sang family for the wedding, then talk about how to deal with the smashed house, and finally talk about the matter of his youngest son, and ask the Li family to help solve it.

She came to Li's house with confidence.

Sang Fuqing wanted to come along, but it was not his turn to take a day off today, so he had to report for duty.

Xu Jiao'er didn't want to come at all. She had been humiliated enough yesterday, and there was no reason for her to go there again today and be humiliated. So she refused on the grounds that she needed to go to the clinic to see a doctor, and took the only maid of the Sang Mansion with her.

In the end, only Mrs. Sang went.

But when he arrived at Li's house, he found that Mrs. Li was not there.

Hey, Mrs. Sang quickly asked if it was Lord Li in the mansion. When she got a positive answer, she was very happy.

She sat leisurely in the main seat in the Cloud Hall and instructed the servant of the Li Mansion to call Lord Li over to judge the case.

When the servant saw that it was Madam Sang and not Sang Fuqing, he breathed a sigh of relief. He did not dare to be negligent and ran to invite Li Lian over.

Li Lian didn't really want to go.

Li Huoyue's affairs have always been handled by his wife. At the very least, she would let Li Huoyue handle it himself. What else could she ask him to do?

Li Lian turned her back and shook her head: "I won't go. If I go and don't handle it properly, I'll definitely get scolded!"

The servant nodded and said, "Then I will send Madam Sang back right away."

"Send him back for what?"

Li Lian did not listen to Li Huoyue mentioning the cancellation of the engagement. Even though Sang Fuqing's actions were annoying, as long as the engagement was not cancelled, Li Huoyue would eventually marry into the Sang family. There was no need to offend her future mother-in-law by being turned away.

The servant was puzzled: "Then...???"

Li Lian sighed, disliking the boy's dullness, and reminded him, "Please ask the young lady to go!"

"But Madam Sang specifically asked you to come over, and the young lady was in the study with several other young masters early this morning to discuss important matters. Madam Sang didn't say why she came, so I didn't dare to disturb the young lady and the others."

What the servant said made sense, and Li Lian had no way to refuse, so he had to bite the bullet and go to Yun Hall.

He walked slowly and complained.

This old lady in the Sang Mansion is really something. What can he handle? Could it be that she just wanted to take a closer look at him because he still looks so charming?

By the time Li Lian arrived at the Yun Hall, Mrs. Sang had already drunk two cups of tea.

Mrs. Sang, who had been waiting for a long time, opened her eyelids, squinted her eyes, looked Li Lian up and down, and did not greet him. She sat in the main seat and said in a sarcastic tone:

"It seems that the Li Mansion is more magnificent than the Sang Mansion. It takes so long to walk from Lord Li's courtyard to the Cloud Hall. Lord, you must be tired. Let the maid bring you a pot of tea. This tea is delicious. I have drunk two cups without realizing it while I was waiting for you!"

Li Lian seldom received guests, let alone female relatives. Besides, he was often used to being manipulated by Li Huoyue, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with Mrs. Sang's words.

He said very bluntly: "Hey, this is the tea for entertaining guests in the Yun Hall. It is not as good as the tea I have kept for myself. I will not drink this stuff."

Mrs. Sang: “???”

Mrs. Sang had never dealt with Li Lian. Before, when Mrs. Li was around, Li Lian was like a background board.

I thought Madam Li wasn't very polite when speaking, wow, now it seems that Mr. Li is a master!

Before Madam Sang could launch another attack, Li Lian asked first, "Why did Madam Sang come to see me?"

When it comes to business, Mrs. Sang is back in her home turf.

Clearing her throat, Madam Sang said, "Lord Li, did you know that my son and I stayed at the inn last night?"

Li Lian’s ability to receive information in the Li Mansion is not as good as her elder sister-in-law’s, so she still doesn’t know what happened yesterday.

"Ah???" Li Lian thought that this Madam Sang was weird. It was none of his business where she and her son lived. He was not Sang Fuqing's father. "What's wrong with staying in an inn?"

It's not like I've ever slept in a pigsty or on the street, so what's so strange about that?

“What’s wrong with staying in an inn?!” Mrs. Sang saw that Li Lian was late and felt that she was being neglected. She was already very angry, but when Li Lian said this, she immediately got angry. “If your daughter hadn’t smashed my Sang Mansion to pieces, and only came close to smashing the roof beams, would we have to sleep in those shabby inns?!”

Li Lian still didn't understand what happened. It seemed that Li Huoyue ran over and smashed something.

Just smash it. Do we have to report to him just because the kid smashed something?

"Indeed, if the damage is severe, we will have no choice but to sleep in the inn." Li Lian didn't know what was going on, so he could only agree with what Mrs. Sang said.

Mrs. Sang felt slightly satisfied when she heard this.

Who knew that Li Lian's next sentence would be: "And then?"

Mrs. Sang looked at Li Lian in shock and found that Li Lian was drinking what he called good tea and enjoying the rare sunshine on a rainy day.

What does this mean?

Also, what kind of attitude is this?!

"Lord Li!" Madam Sang held her breath, "From your tone, it seems like you don't care, right? Our Sang family deserves this bad luck, right?"

“This…” Li Lian put down the teacup. It really didn’t have much impact on him, but he obviously couldn’t say it in front of others. “Didn’t they say that Huo Huo smashed it? It can’t be considered bad luck.”

It's probably what he deserves.

He has been so busy recently, but he still found time to smash it. It seems that this is one of Huo Huo’s plans.

Mrs. Sang hadn't seen someone so difficult to communicate with in a long time, and she was so angry that she almost smashed the teacup.

There is no need for roundabout tactics. Lord Li simply cannot understand these tactics.

She said bluntly: "Your daughter smashed the Sang Mansion. She is so arrogant before she even married in. Don't you plan to deal with it?"

deal with?

What to deal with?

Shouldn’t it be about dealing with Li Huoyue?

You already know that Li Huoyue is arrogant, so how can you ask him to deal with it?

The old lady is so idle all day long, she should find a job to do.

Li Lian looked at Madam Sang as if she were a monster and asked, "Deal with it? Deal with what? How do you deal with it?"

"As Li Huoyue's father, you naturally have the obligation to teach her. Children should be punished for making mistakes, otherwise she will dare to do it again next time!"

Looking at Mrs. Sang's ferocious appearance, Li Lian felt worried about Li Huoyue for the first time.

With such a mother-in-law, Li Huoyue must have been tortured to such a state!

Madam Sang added, "Also, your daughter smashed up the Sang Mansion like that, don't you have to pay for it? Just let Qing'er and I sleep in the inn? When they get married, will they move to the inn together?"

"Pay compensation." Li Lian suddenly felt relieved. "Then I'll call Huo Huo for you."

Mrs. Sang asked in confusion: "What do you want her to do?"

"How can we compensate her if we don't ask her?" Li Lian said, "She has all the money."

Mrs. Sang didn't quite believe it and thought that Li Lian was wrong, so she asked, "Where is Mrs. Li?"

Shouldn't Mrs. Li hold the money?

Li Huoyue has five older brothers, so it’s definitely not Li Huoyue’s turn.
