Qingmei hugged him again, acting all cute and affectionate.

"I see!"

Li Ziqian smiled and nodded.

She then fell into deep thought. Qingmei had originally agreed to everything and was willing to be a concubine, but now that she had come to her home and seen Qingyou, she became jealous.

And it was also because her mother cared about her father that she didn't want her to take a concubine.

On the contrary, Shi Qingyou remained silent and was so magnanimous, which made people suspicious.

Qingmei looked at Li Ziqian, slowly lowered her head, and a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.

After Li Ziqian and the others left, Shi Qingyou didn't even tidy up the table before going straight to Li's mother's room.

"Ah...don't come in!"

Li's mother was kneeling on the ground praying to the Bodhisattva when she saw Shi Qingyou suddenly enter. She screamed and threw the bead in her hand in front of Shi Qingyou. Shi Qingyou simply dodged it, and the bead fell to the ground.

"Even if you don't accept the facts, it's no use. Widow Yang is definitely going to come in. If you stay here, you'll just be giving her a place. Widow Yang is happy taking care of her father-in-law by herself, with maids serving her. You're the only one living here all alone. You're the one who's going to suffer!"

Shi Qingyou gave her a cold glance, then turned and left.

Li's mother knelt on the ground, and the incense burning in the incense burner beside her was flickering.

Shi Qingyou returned to the room and began practicing her internal energy cultivation technique.

After a while, she heard the sounds Li's mother made outside.

She opened her eyes, then closed them again, and continued her cultivation.

The next day, officials from the yamen came to pick them up.

Just as Shi Qingyou went out with her bundle, Li's mother was already dressed in new clothes, with two silver hairpins in her hair.

When the two arrived at the door, their neighbors came over to see them off.

Especially Aunt Chen next door, she held Shi Qingyou's hand, but didn't know what to say.

"Aunt Chen, come visit me in town next time!"

Shi Qingyou looked at Aunt Chen with a grin.

"Good good!"

Aunt Chen didn't know what to say, so she just nodded.

Shi Qingyou bid farewell to Aunt Chen, got into the car, and sat next to Li's mother.

Upon arriving at the county government office, the two entered one after the other.

Li Ziqian happened to be free, and seeing that Shi Qingyou had indeed persuaded his mother to come, he was very happy.

But because of what Qingmei said yesterday, I felt a thorn in my heart.

"Ziqian, you and Qingmei will live on that side and don't move. The old man and I will live on that side, and Shi Qingyou and that concubine will live in the room on that side."

Li's mother sat down and took a sip of the teacup that the maid brought her.

“Mother, you’re not saying that right. Since my husband has just started living with Consort Qingmei, then Father should also be living with Consort Yang.”

Shi Qingyou knew that once Li's mother arrived here, she felt that she couldn't control her anymore.

Then they started swaggering around here, and it really made people uncomfortable.

"I'm your mother-in-law, so you have to listen to me!"

Li's mother patted the table.

“Mother, this isn’t right! You and Father will live in the back, and Aunt Yang will also live in the back courtyard. Qingyou and I will live in the front courtyard, and Qingmei will live in our courtyard. It’s settled then!”
