The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

"old lady."

Li Anqi wanted to get up and bow, but was stopped by the old lady.

"No need, no need, you should just lie down properly!"

The old lady moved very carefully, afraid of hurting her.

"Alas...Grandmother knows that Cai'er falling into the water has absolutely nothing to do with you!"

The old lady sighed deeply and continued.

“Before you were fully developed, your likes and dislikes were written all over your face. Now that you’ve grown up, you’ve become gentle on the outside but tough on the inside. Even if you’ve been wronged, you’re unwilling to explain or beg for forgiveness.”

A faint smile appeared on Li Anqi's weak face.

“Anqi knows, and Grandmother also trusts Anqi.”

"So, what exactly happened that made you remain silent in Fushou Hall just now?"

Li Anqi paused, his expression gradually becoming serious.

She said softly, "Anqi saw Aunt Gao before going to the koi pond."

"What? How could she be there! Could it be..."

The old lady was horrified when she thought about it.

“Anqi is just guessing. If it’s really as Anqi thinks, then Cai’er will really suffer,” Li Anqi said.

"You mean..." The old lady didn't dare to speak.

“Cai’er is used to being abused and manipulated by Aunt Gao. Now, she has been pushed into the water by her own mother. The blow she has suffered is probably unbearable for an ordinary person.”

After hearing what Li Anqi said, the old lady gasped and quickly covered her mouth with one hand, her expression terrified.

"Is it because of Cai'er that you're unwilling to tell the truth in front of everyone?"

Li Anqi nodded.

The old lady's eyes immediately reddened, and tears streamed down her face.

"My dear granddaughter, you've really... really suffered so much!" the old lady said, choking back tears.

"Anqi couldn't bear to see Cai'er like that today. Anqi, please trouble the old lady to comfort Cai'er and not let him have a dark memory from childhood."

As Li Anqi spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

The old lady choked back tears and nodded several times.

"What a terrible thing!"

“Father, there’s no need for you to rush to explain for Anqi. It’s not too late to explain after Cai’er’s inner conflict is resolved,” Li Anqi said.

The old lady nodded and wiped away her tears with a handkerchief.

"Alright, take good care of yourself. If you need anything, just tell the Gao family at the gate, and Grandma will take care of everything for you."

Li Anqi smiled and said, "Thank you, Grandmother."

Li Anqi was in so much pain every day that he could only lie on the bed.

After being placed in solitary confinement, Li Anshu and Li Anxiu visited him several times.

However, due to Li Miao's strict orders, both of them were kept outside the courtyard.

A few days later, the Gao family secretly passed a message to Qiuyue.

"Miss, Madam Zhao came to see Master and Madam today, saying that she has found a marriage for you. Madam seems to be unhappy with the marriage and has fallen ill from anger," Qiuyue said hurriedly.

"What happened?" Zhilan asked.

"Madam Zhao wants to betroth our young lady to the Shen family of Liangzhou," Qiuyue said.

"How is the old lady? Has she been seen by the imperial physician?" Li Anqi looked up and asked hurriedly.

Qiu Yue shook her head with a worried look: "I don't know, the Gao family didn't say."

"Go and ask them quickly," Li Anqi said.

Qiuyue nodded and hurried to the courtyard gate to inquire about Old Gao's family.

Zhilan spoke to Li Anqi with a worried look in her eyes.

"The Shen family of Liangzhou were marquises for generations, but in this generation, they have fallen into poverty and become commoners, a poor family in a remote and impoverished area."

"What?! Madam is going to marry Miss off to a commoner?!" Liu Yun exclaimed in horror, her expression filled with anxiety.

Li Anqi's mind sank.

She had only been under house arrest for a few days when she took advantage of his misfortune, wishing he would disappear immediately.

Qiuyue rushed in and said, "Miss, something terrible has happened! The Gao family said that Physician Guo said that the old lady's illness is quite serious this time, and she probably won't recover anytime soon."

Li Anqi was stunned for a long time before his head slowly fell onto the pillow.

Li Anqi vaguely remembers that her grandmother in modern times passed away early, and she often covered herself with a blanket at night when she was a child.

Although the old lady was not his biological grandmother, Li Anqi seemed to feel the warmth of being cared for and loved again after spending more than two years with her.

Now that she knows the old lady is seriously ill, it's understandable that she's worried.

Despite his injuries, Li Anqi got out of bed and wrote a letter to Aunt Xia.

In the letter, she informed Aunt Gao of the incident in which she pushed Li Ancai into the water, and asked Aunt Xia to take good care of the old lady and Li Ancai.

Aunt Xia replied the next day, saying that she would do her best to take care of the old lady and Cai'er.

A month later, Li Anqi's injuries gradually healed.

That day, Madam Zhao sent someone to deliver a jar of salt to Li Anqi.

Feeling uneasy, Li Anqi sent Zhilan to inquire with the Gao family whether anything major had happened in the manor recently.

result.

"Reporting to Second Miss, yesterday, Master and Madam arranged a marriage for Third Miss," Zhilan said.

Li An's hand trembled, and he looked at Zhilan, quickly asking, "Which one did you book?"

“The Wu family of the capital. The Wu family is in the ceramics business, and their ancestors had dealings with the Jingguo Mansion, but…” Zhilan lowered her eyes.

"Just what?"

"However, Wu Gong, the eldest son of the Wu family, is a playboy with a bad reputation. He just took his sixth concubine this year."

“How could Father agree to someone like that?” Li Anqi frowned.

Zhilan said, "Now that the old lady is ill and unable to manage things, and the young lady is also confined to her quarters, the mansion must be in dire straits again... I heard that the Wu family is willing to offer three thousand taels of silver as a betrothal gift. I'm afraid the master is in dire straits and had no choice but to agree."

"What did Anshu say?" Li Anqi asked.

"After all, it was an arranged marriage by the parents and the matchmaker, so the Third Miss didn't say anything."

Li Anqi clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

How can I help Anshu?

What exactly do you want...?

Li Anqi's hands trembled slightly, but in the end, he had no choice but to let go.

However, if it weren't for the old lady, I probably wouldn't even be able to protect myself.

How can I still have time to help Anshu?

At this moment, Li Anqi wished he could become Li Baoqin and cause a complete uproar.

But she is not Li Baoqin, and cannot shout to the heavens, "My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens."

She seemed to see Li Anshu sinking slowly in the swamp, crying out beside him, but ultimately powerless to save him.

Li Anqi was depressed for a long time, then blankly poured the jar of salt onto the ground.

"Some people offer help when others are in need, while others are used to rubbing salt into other people's wounds."

Li Anqi went to his desk, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a letter to Li Baoqin, asking her to help Anshu.

However, after waiting for two days, Li Anqi still hadn't received a reply from Li Baoqin.

Li Anqi wrote three or four more letters, but they all disappeared without a trace.

Late at night, Li Anqi sat under the candlelight and continued writing letters.

Zhilan came over and thoughtfully draped a coat over her shoulders.

"Miss, has the eldest young lady replied yet?"

Li Anqi put down his brush, nodded, slowly stood up, and looked at the night sky outside the window.

"Perhaps she thinks I am an utterly wicked person."
