"mother!"

Li Ziqian called out again, but his mother just waved her hand.

"Then the son left first!"

Li Ziqian has left.

Li's mother sat down in the chair and suddenly felt very desolate. She looked at the glittering gold bracelet on her wrist.

She was dressed in fine clothes, ate very good food, and had maids serving her.

But now she doesn't like your life, she's not comfortable with it at all.

She actually felt that the old days were better, especially when Butcher Stone was still around.

Every day, Shi Qingyou did all the housework. The money Shi the butcher earned was used to support his family. The son was very obedient at home, and so was Li's father.

Those were the most comfortable days, and now he truly feels they are meaningless.

Li's mother went back into the room, knelt before Guanyin Bodhisattva, and began chanting again.

Shi Qingyou learned about Li's mother's situation, but she felt no sympathy for her whatsoever.

She's the kind of person who's selfish and self-serving. She wants to live a good life without putting in any effort, and she also wants everyone to listen to her.

In the story, Shi Qingyou was driven mad by her; she was even more despicable than the fox demon and Li Ziqian.

When Li's mother stopped making a fuss, Li Ziqian became worried and went to see her several times.

He discovered that she spent every day burning incense and praying to Buddha. He thought about his mother and realized that if she started chanting scriptures every day, her mind would be at peace, which wouldn't be bad.

Li Ziqian gradually felt relieved, but Shi Qingyou and the others had been living here for almost a month, and he still hadn't gotten close to Shi Qingyou.

Every time I see Shi Qingyou, my heart feels itchy.

Every time he tried to have a serious talk with Qingmei, full of anger, he would always end up succumbing to her tenderness.

He was almost completely drained by Qingmei, so he had no energy left to go find Shi Qingyou.

For the past month, things at home have been relatively peaceful.

It wasn't until Aunt Yang suddenly became pregnant that Li's mother, who had been chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist prayers, became very gloomy again.

Li's mother usually eats in her own room, but after hearing the news, she came out to eat once.

She looked at Li Shun, who was protecting Aunt Yang, as if she herself was about to do something drastic.

Haha, it's like I might actually do something.

Before they had finished eating, Li Shun took Aunt Yang back home, fearing that his mother might do something.

The family is having another round of ups and downs.

After watching the two of them leave, Li's mother returned to her room with a gloomy expression.

Upon hearing the news, Li Ziqian went to his mother's room again and found her chanting Buddhist scriptures. However, she was burning far too much incense, and a wave of disgust surged out from it.

Li Ziqian spoke a few words to her, but Li's mother barely paid him any attention.

Li Ziqian then left. That evening, the maid discovered that Li's mother had hanged herself inside the house, and Li Ziqian was terrified.

Filial piety is the most important thing in all things. Since Li's mother died, he had to observe the mourning period.

It's normal. If someone is highly favored and trusted by the emperor, they might be stripped of their mourning period.

Li Ziqian was also aware of his own status; he had just entered officialdom and had not yet accomplished anything significant.
