The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

Li Baoqin glanced at Aunt Gao with disgust and said to Li Anqi.

"Even if you give this kind of scumbag another chance, he'll still cause trouble! Stop pretending to be a saint."

Li Anqi remained unmoved.

She looked at Aunt Gao slowly and said to her.

“If Granny Fang hadn’t died, An Qi wouldn’t have appeared in Aunt’s room that day, and Aunt wouldn’t be where she is today.”

"..." Aunt Gao stopped shouting and struggling, and her eyes gradually widened.

Li Anqi frowned slightly, then said, "Does Aunt really hate me to this extent?"

"No!"

Aunt Gao shouted.

"It wasn't me! It wasn't me! It was all Madam Zhao who told me to do it! Madam Zhao told me to kill Granny Fang, saying she wanted to shut Granny Fang up! It was also Madam Zhao who sent Pei'er to let me out. Madam Zhao told me to push Cai'er into the water myself and to instruct Cai'er to frame you!"

"You insane, rambling woman, take her away right now!"

Madam Zhao looked flustered and clearly lost her composure.

Both Li Baoqin and Li Anxiu looked rather grim.

Li Baoqin pointed at Aunt Gao's nose: "You did the evil things yourself, and you still want to frame my mother? Believe me or not, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Several servants were about to drag Aunt Gao away.

"Wait," the old lady spoke up, "Ahem... what did you just say?"

The servants released Aunt Gao.

Aunt Gao lifted her skirt and knelt forward a few steps, her facial muscles twitching with tension, and hurriedly said.

"When I first entered the manor, Madam Zhao instigated me to secretly switch Concubine Xu's medicine prescription, which led to Concubine Xu's death. After Madam Zhao learned that Granny Fang knew about this, she threatened me, telling me to find a way to shut Granny Fang up!"

Li Miao's eyes were filled with disbelief. His eyes widened and his slightly parted lips trembled uncontrollably.

"And another thing! I once overheard Madam Zhao and Granny Song talking. Madam Zhao also used musk to cause Consort Xu's miscarriage when she died young!"

Madam Zhao was clearly flustered.

She quickly said to Li Miao, "Master, Aunt Gao has gone mad. What she said is a complete frame-up!"

“Everything I have said is true! Madam Zhao was the instigator of all this, and I was merely a pawn being threatened!”

Aunt Gao knelt down in front of Li Miao and wailed in heartbreaking grief.

"No matter what, Cai'er is still my own son. If it weren't for Madam Zhao's instigation, how could I have done such a wrong thing! It's all Madam Zhao's fault, my lord, you must see the truth!"

Li Miao's eyes turned red with anger, and his terrifying gaze gradually fell on Madam Zhao.

"Father, you know how gentle Mother is, how could she possibly do such a thing?!"

Li Baoqin hurriedly defended Madam Zhao.

Li Anxiu remained silent, his face turning deathly pale.

Zuo Siyun stared in disbelief at the farce unfolding before her, then glanced cautiously at Li Anxiu.

"Granny Song, tell me, is what this vile woman is saying true?" Li Miao asked.

Granny Song trembled, raised her head, and said kindly, "Reporting to Master, Madam, and Concubine Gao, this old servant knows nothing of what you have said."

“Then you said it yourself that day, that you saw with your own eyes that Qi’er pushed Cai’er into the water!” Li Miao said, word by word.

Granny Song hurriedly knelt down.

"This old servant, this old servant may have seen wrong!"

Li Miao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Speak. As long as you tell me the truth about Shuyuan's death, I will forgive you."

"This old servant really knows nothing, sir!" Granny Song looked up, looking aggrieved and helpless.

"Master, please don't pressure her. This is clearly a fabricated charge. How can I and Granny Song admit to it?" Madam Zhao glanced at Granny Song with concern, her eyes brimming with tears.

“Since Madam says you are innocent, then prove it to me.” Li Miao said, closing his eyes.

Granny Song turned to look at Madam Zhao, tears streaming down her face.

Then, she stood up shakily and slammed her head against the pillar she hadn't bumped into that day.

There was a bang.

Blood streamed down Granny Song's forehead, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Granny Song! Granny Song!"

Madam Zhao rushed forward and, weeping, embraced the increasingly cold body of Granny Song.

"Granny Song is my wet nurse. She has taken care of me my whole life. How can you be so heartless, sir?!"

"Lock Aunt Gao in the woodshed. If she manages to escape again, she will be punished with twenty strokes of the cane!"

The servants, upon receiving the order, immediately dragged away the noisy Aunt Gao.

Li Miao opened his eyes, ignoring Aunt Gao's cries and Madam Zhao's sobs, his voice calm enough to be described as ruthless.

"Since you are devoted to Buddhism, Madam, you shall stay at Jixing Temple from now on."

Mrs. Zhao's head was buzzing, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Is Father going to make Mother a nun?!"

Li Baoqin was dissatisfied and made a fuss.

"Mother has already said she didn't do it, so why would Father rather listen to the slander of petty people than believe a single word from Mother?!"

Li Miao remained silent.

Li Anqi lowered his eyes.

Perhaps Li Miao and the old lady understood her mother better than Li Baoqin did.

"Brother, why aren't you saying anything?" Li Baoqin asked Li Anxiu with tears in her eyes.

Li Anxiu's lips had lost all color, his expression was blank, and his eyes were filled with immense guilt as he looked at Li Anqi.

Seeing that Li Anxiu ignored her, Li Baoqin turned around and knelt down in front of the old lady with tears in her eyes.

"Grandma, you know Mother. Please persuade Father not to let Mother become a nun!"

The old lady looked helpless and slowly shook her head at Li Baoqin.

Li Anqi looked indifferently at Madam Zhao, only to find that she was also looking at him.

Madam Zhao's eyes were red-rimmed, filled with complex hatred.

“Master…” Madam Zhao turned around.

"Go ahead, depart tomorrow."

Li Miao didn't look at Madam Zhao. After speaking, he got up and left.

The old lady coughed twice, sighed, and went back to her room.

Li Baoqin's face was covered in tears when she suddenly thought of something.

She suddenly looked at Li Anqi.

"Li Anqi! What are you really up to?! Did you orchestrate all of this?"

Li Anqi looked at Li Anxiu and said to Li Baoqin.

“My birth mother is dead, but your birth mother is still alive, and you can see her again. You should be happy about that.”

After saying this, Li Anqi came to Li Anxiu and bowed slowly to him.

The two looked at each other speechlessly.

Li Anqi took a step forward and brushed past him.

the next day.

Madam Zhao then packed her belongings and, along with Pei'er and Aunt Guizhi, was sent to Jixing Temple by Li Baoqin and Li Anxiu.

Zuo Siyun arrived at Li Anqi's courtyard.

"You lowly illegitimate children love nothing more than stirring up trouble!" Zuo Siyun's tone was full of sarcasm and contempt.

She rolled her eyes, sat down casually, and handed out the pair of cards for managing the household.

Li Anqi remained unmoved, his expression unchanged.

“If you feel that Anqi’s status and position are not suitable for managing the household, you may take the pair of cards back.”

Zuo Siyun jumped up, threw the pair of cards on the table, and angrily said, "The master told me to give them to you, do you think I wanted to?!"

Li Anqi calmly picked up the pair of cards and presented them to Zuo Siyun with both hands.

"If you have any objections, why don't you take over managing the household?"

"you!"

Zuo Siyun took a breath, suppressing her temper, and instead mocked Li Anqi.

"Do you think that Anxiu and Ancai won't hate you for treating Madam Zhao and Aunt Gao like this? Anxiu's expression yesterday said it all. You are no longer his favorite second sister."

"..." Li Anqi looked at her quietly.

"Even if An Cai doesn't hate you now, do you think he won't hate you when he grows up and becomes more sensible?"

Li Anqi's expression darkened.

"That's none of your business, sister-in-law. Whether you leave the pair of cards here or take them back is up to you."

Li Anqi placed the pair of cards on the table, looking as if he were indifferent to worldly affairs.

Zuo Siyun was furious, and she nodded a few times, suppressing her resentment.

"Fine, fine, I admit you have some talent! But you've ruined this family, and you'll reap what you sow! Just you wait!"

After saying that, Zuo Siyun abruptly flicked her sleeve and turned to leave.

Li Anqi silently gazed out the window.

Madam Zhao and Aunt Gao have committed countless evil deeds; this is the punishment they deserve.

If I hesitate and show mercy to my brother and Cai'er because of my relationship with them, then who will avenge Shu'er and the original owner?

She believes in retribution, and even more so in justice.

Not long after.

Butler Chen delivered many valuable paintings and calligraphy works to Li Anqi on behalf of Li Miao, all of which were Li Anqi's favorites.

Butler Chen didn't say much, and left after delivering the calligraphy and painting.

Li Anqi looked at the calligraphy and paintings.

She knew that Li Miao was apologizing for what had happened before.

After all, he is the head of the family and a father, so he certainly wouldn't be able to swallow his pride and apologize to himself.

But An Shu had already lost faith in him.

What expectations could she possibly have of him?

three days later.

Li Anshu returned to her parents' home.

He went to Fushou Hall to pay his respects to the old lady and Li Miao as usual.

In just a few days, Li Miao's hair turned quite gray, making him look even more haggard and unsmiling.

The old lady forced her eyes open to a slit and asked, "Why didn't Wu Gong come with you?"

Wu Gong was Li Anshu's husband, so by all accounts, he should have accompanied Li Anshu on his return visit to his parents' home.
