The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Li Anqi and Zuo Siyun looked at Li Baoqin with surprise.

Li Anqi remained unperturbed by praise or criticism, his smile fading as he spoke calmly.

"No matter what my younger sister does, in my older sister's eyes it will always be hypocritical, flattering, and scheming. I wonder if my older sister has ever heard of the Buddhist saying, 'The Buddha's mind is self-reflective,' which means that what you see in others is what you see in yourself."

"You!" Li Baoqin suddenly stood up, angrily saying, "You're calling me hypocritical, flattering, and scheming?!"

"Alright, alright, Qin'er has finally come back to her parents' home, so stop arguing." Li Miao coaxed and coaxed her, his face full of affection, and pulled Li Baoqin to sit down.

Li Anqi slowly glanced elsewhere and calmly replied to Li Baoqin.

"Not really. It's just that the older sister always tries her best to think the worst of her younger sister just because she can't stand her. Isn't that too unfair to the younger sister?"

Seeing Li Baoqin's tense anger, Li Miao snapped at Li Anqi, "Alright! Qi'er, shut up!"

Li Baoqin was somewhat restrained when Xiao Wang was present.

Now that she has arrived at Ning'an Village, Li Baoqin no longer restrains herself.

"Don't you have any self-awareness about how you treated my and my elder brother's biological mother?! It's because of you that my mother is still practicing asceticism at Jixing Temple! It's because of you that my child with Lingluo died young!"

Li Baoqin's lips curled into a bitter and resentful sneer, and she continued.

"You've been malicious since you were a child! You grew up and learned to pretend, and you still dare to act like a good person?! You're talking to me about fairness! I think you're just pure evil!"

“If that’s how you think, sister, nothing I say will make a difference,” Li Anqi said.

Li Baoqin frowned deeply, picked up the wine glass in front of her, and splashed it at Li Anqi!

Everyone's expression changed immediately.

Li Anqi closed her eyes, feeling the coolness on her face. Only after the wine droplets gradually dripped down did she slowly open her eyes.

Aunt Xia came up behind Li Anqi and, together with Zuo Siyun, carefully wiped Li Anqi's face with a handkerchief.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense, dropping to freezing point.

Bang!

Li Miao slammed his hand on the table: "Alright!"

Li Ancai and Li Anhua were so frightened that they hung their heads and dared not speak.

Li Miao's face was ashen, and several veins bulged on his neck as he angrily rebuked Li Anqi: "You were fine the last few times you came back, but as soon as Qin'er came back, you started causing trouble! Do you hate her that much?!"

Li Anqi's eyelashes were wet, her eyes were half-closed, and a slightly mocking smile appeared on her lips.

Ever since Shu'er was betrothed, her father's importance in her heart has diminished considerably.

Saving Li Miao at the execution ground was simply fulfilling her duty as a daughter; it wasn't a matter of deep affection.

Li Miao favored Li Baoqin, and she was well aware of that.

Fortunately, she didn't mind.

Therefore, he was not particularly saddened by Li Miao's favoritism and accusations.

but……

Li Anqi's gaze was deep, and he resolutely raised his eyes to meet Li Miao's furious red eyes.

"Today, it was clearly my sister who started the mockery. It's one thing for Father to be biased and blame me, but what's most disheartening is that he didn't even bother to ask about Shu'er's well-being from beginning to end! What kind of family reunion dinner is it without Shu'er?!"

The news of her setting fire to the Wu family's house with a knife had spread like wildfire, and Zuo Siyun and Aunt Xia even made a special trip to Prince Xiao's mansion to visit her.

She didn't believe Li Miao was unaware that Shu'er had gotten into trouble.

But today, Li Miao's mind was completely occupied by Li Baoqin, and he didn't mention a single word about Shu'er!

This is what truly disappointed Li Anqi.

Li Miao was stunned for a moment, her expression showing slight tension and fear, with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

"Father always doted on his elder sister unconditionally. Poor Shu'er, her heart and eyes were always with her father since she was a child. In order to get her father's attention, she would always stay up all night to memorize poems before seeing him during festivals, forgetting to eat and sleep. In order to get a word of praise from her father, she practiced the pipa hard, her ten fingers were covered with bloody blisters, but she never complained of the pain!"

Li Anqi meticulously crafted each word, striking at Li Miao's troubled heart.

"In the end, Father wouldn't even offer Shu'er a single word of concern. How is Shu'er doing? Is Shu'er doing well at the Wu family? What grievances has Shu'er suffered? Has anyone stood up for her? Is Father really so cold-hearted that he doesn't want to know anything?! Or has everything about Shu'er touched upon a taboo subject that you find difficult to discuss? Is it precisely because Shu'er is not doing well that your predicament when you sold your daughter is highlighted, and that's why you're unwilling to..."

"enough!"

Snapped!

Li Miao's eyes widened, his expression furious, and he slapped Li Anqi hard across the face.

"No matter what, I am still your father! Don't think that just because you've become the Prince Xiao's concubine, you can spout such arrogant and rebellious words!"

Li Anqi's face flushed slightly on one side, and his sharp gaze at Li Miao seemed to possess a penetrating power.

“Whether or not she is a concubine of Prince Xiao, Qi’er will tell the truth. But Father, even if you can’t treat them all equally, you should at least give some water to Shu’er.”

As he finished speaking, Li Anqi's eyes welled up with tears.

"You!" Li Miao's neck flushed red, as if he had choked on something.

He suddenly grabbed the wine jug beside him and smashed it to pieces on the ground.

Just as tensions were about to rise...

The others, who had been looking tense, suddenly gasped in surprise.

"Master!"

"Brother!"

"Anxiu!"
