Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

Soon, Li Tingting's third uncle and aunt, as well as her cousins, all arrived.

Although Li Tingting's third uncle and his family didn't love her as much as Madam Lin did.

But they are family after all.

Li Tingting had been missing for over a month, and everyone was extremely anxious about her.

They were just as happy to see Li Tingting return safely.

On her way back to Beijing, Li Tingting had Chunmei prepare plenty of lessons for her.

Therefore, she was able to barely handle the questions from her relatives on the spot.

When Madam Lin heard that Li Tingting had been sold to the Peach Blossom Boat, she immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"Hmph! I bet it was that bitch Aunt Liu who did this."

She even dared to sell Chunmei. Guards, seize that wretched mother and daughter!

Arrest him and punish him according to family rules.

Upon hearing this, Li Tingting was immediately left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Second Aunt, I know you feel sorry for me, but there's no proof."

I'm afraid of wrongly accusing an innocent person; please don't act impulsively.

"Wrongfully accusing an innocent person? Humph! I can't be wrong, that little hussy has always been restless."

"When your father was still alive, she had a lot of tricks up her sleeve, hmph!"

Mrs. Lin continued to hurl insults relentlessly.

Li Tingting smiled gently and placed her hands lightly on Madam Lin's arms.

"My second aunt's love for me is undeniable, but Aunt Liu is my father's concubine."

If we use family discipline on her without solid evidence, it will definitely damage my reputation.

I was very grateful to my second aunt for protecting me, but Aunt Liu was, after all, my sister's biological mother.

Even if she treated me badly, I can't convict her without any basis.

Everything must be based on evidence; never wrong an innocent person.

After hearing Li Tingting's words, Mrs. Lin's anger subsided by half.

Adding to what Li Tingting just said, it was as if she was both advising her and coaxing her.

She was naturally very pleased.

After all, any elder likes to see the person she loves acting cute towards her.

So she immediately replied, "Hmph, fine! For your sake..."

I'll let bygones be bygones with that little brat today.

If she dares to misbehave from now on, I will show her no mercy.

After Madam Lin calmed down, Li Tingting led everyone to the dining hall for a meal.

The large round table was laden with a sumptuous feast, steaming hot and fragrant.

Li Tingting sat next to Madam Lin, her face beaming with a happy smile.

Li Xiang spoke first: "Tingting, it's good to see you back."

During this time, it wasn't just your second aunt who was worried about you.

Your third aunt and I have been worried about you day and night. Now, thankfully, our family is finally reunited.

Li Tingting replied with a smile, "Third Uncle, I'm sorry to have troubled you these past few days."

Li Xiang's son and daughter were also overjoyed, "Big sister!"

We can go play together again from now on, haha.

Li Tingting looked at them and nodded with a smile.

His eyes were full of tenderness.

Everyone enjoyed the delicious food while chatting and laughing.

Li Tingting placed a piece of braised pork, which was Mrs. Lin's favorite dish, on her plate.

She said, "Second Aunt, you should try this, it's so delicious!"

Mrs. Lin's face immediately lit up with a smile, "Our Tingting is so thoughtful after all, haha."

Li Qing muttered from the side, "Mom, my sister and I are very close too!"

"You little brat, if you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lin glared at him and scolded him.

The third aunt then inquired about Li Tingting's experiences outside.

Li Tingting briefly recounted some of her experiences, including when she said she jumped into the river from the pleasure boat to escape.

This startled everyone present, especially Madam Lin.

He declared fiercely that when he got home that night, he would definitely make Li Tingting's second uncle go and cause trouble for the magistrate of Taohuajiang County.

When Li Tingting recounted how she was rescued after jumping into the river,

Moreover, the other party turned out to be an old man with superb martial arts skills.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and Li Tingting even mentioned that the old man had actually served under her father.

Mrs. Lin was the first to blindly believe it, "Yes, yes, that's right!"

"My elder brother has led troops for many years, and he has many highly skilled martial artists under his command."

Basically, Mrs. Lin believed everything Li Tingting said.

Therefore, people often say that if someone truly likes and cherishes you, it means they love you deeply.

So no matter what you say or do, in his/her mind, you are right.

Of course, during the meal, everyone was passing food to each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Looking at this heartwarming scene, Li Tingting instantly felt a sense of home.

They also felt a sense of belonging, and everyone enjoyed the meal exceptionally well.

Laughter and cheerful voices echoed in the dining hall.

A warm atmosphere permeated every corner, not just for Li Tingting.

Everyone present felt the warmth of this family and the preciousness of kinship.

Although Aunt Liu was General Li Fei's concubine,

However, given her status, she was not qualified to dine with everyone in the living room.

She could only dine with her daughter, Li Qianqian, in a side room.

Hearing the cheerful laughter coming from the dining room next door, Aunt Liu's face darkened.

Gripping her chopsticks tightly, her eyes filled with resentment, she complained through gritted teeth.

"Hmph, why is it that their family can eat so happily over there?"

My daughter and I are left to eat these leftovers in this side room.

Li Qianqian was also standing to the side, her face full of displeasure, pouting angrily.

"Mother, as soon as Li Tingting came back..."

It seems our plan is likely to fall through.

Aunt Liu glared at her fiercely, her eyes filled with malice.

He lowered his voice and said, "What's your rush?"

What makes Li Tingting so qualified to be the master of this general's mansion?

We can't let this go so easily. Tomorrow I'll ruin her reputation.

Li Qianqian looked troubled, her brows furrowed: "Mother, but my second aunt isn't someone to be trifled with either."

Although she wasn't the mistress of the general's mansion, she was my second uncle's legal wife.

When my father was still alive, she would always throw tantrums here.

Even my dad has to give her some leeway.

Aunt Liu snorted coldly, her eyes filled with a sinister glint: "What are you afraid of!"

As long as we plan carefully, we can always find something to use against them.

No matter how powerful Madam Lin is, she can't protect Li Tingting every moment.

When the opportunity arises, I will embarrass Li Tingting in front of everyone.

"If we lose our authority, we'll be the ones calling the shots in this mansion."

Li Qianqian hesitated, her heart filled with timid worry.

"Mother, but Li Tingting is still my sister, this..."

Aunt Liu interrupted her angrily: "You good-for-nothing!"

Do you treat her like your older sister, but she treats you like her younger sister?

Don't forget she's the legitimate daughter, while you're a concubine's daughter, and your father has no sons.

Now that your father is gone, this family is under the control of Li Tingting, do you understand?

If we cannot take control of this general's mansion,

Then you'll have to live your whole life at the mercy of others.

Concubine Liu was filled with resentment and greed, but Liu Qianqian was so oblivious to her feelings.

Enraged, she immediately gave Li Qianqian a lecture.
