Chapter 136
Aunt Wang suddenly felt exhausted. Her daughter, whom she had raised, showed not a shred of gratitude and only blamed others when things went wrong. But still, it was her own daughter. She had people clean up the room and replace it with new items.
Li Shan calmed down somewhat when Aunt Wang told her about Mrs. Lu's punishment.
"On what grounds?" Li Shan stood up angrily. Why should she be confined for three months? Her face had an allergic reaction; she was the victim. Why was she being punished? Unable to control herself, Li Shan smashed the things in the room once again.
"Calm down," Aunt Wang stepped forward to stop her.
"I can't calm down. We're all father's daughters. Why am I being treated differently?" As she spoke, Li Shan grabbed a vase from the Treasure Gallery and smashed it forcefully. The flying shards cut Aunt Wang's hand.
Aunt Wang looked at her hand, feeling drained by Li Shan's frenzied behavior. She turned and left, letting Li Shan cool off on her own.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
Seeing Aunt Wang leave, Li Shan became even angrier. She directly pushed over the Treasure Gallery shelf and flipped the table. Outside the room, several maids heard Li Shan's frenzy inside. Cui Ming and Cui Liu were worried. Cui Fang, completely uninvolved, hid to one side to avoid being accidentally hurt. Cuihong's eyes revealed a hint of joy - how nice that her face was ruined too.
Hearing Zi Yu's report that Lu Hua Palace had gone to the warehouse for replacement items, Mrs. Lu frowned, "How many sets is this now?"
"Third Young Miss has smashed three sets since this morning," Zi Yu replied.
"Tell the warehouse not to furnish her room anymore. If she wants new things, she can pay for them herself. If she doesn't have money, then she'll have to do without." The Li family's money didn't grow on trees, to be wasted by Li Shan like this.
Although Li Shan's clothing shop had earned some money, it couldn't keep up with her love for gold and silver jewelry. She hadn't saved any money, so how could she afford replacements?
In the end, it was still Aunt Wang who dipped into her private savings to buy Li Shan a new set of furnishings. Aunt Wang advised her again and again to be sensible and stop making trouble, to stay quietly in her courtyard. The main priority was for the red swelling on her face to subside.
Perhaps it was Aunt Wang's persuasion that worked, or perhaps it was Mrs. Lu's strictness. Li Shan finally calmed down and stopped causing trouble.
"This must have cost quite a bit. Do you have enough money?" These newly released mirrors must not be cheap.
"It's enough. I still have plenty left from what you gave me last time," Seeing Li Xia about to reach for her purse again, Xu Xinyue quickly stopped her. The shops she had bought were starting to make money now. She wasn't short of money to spend.
Leaving the Xu residence, Li Xia instructed to stop by a teahouse for a while, where she heard quite a bit of gossip.
First was that the Third Prince had taken a new concubine. This concubine was said to be very good at making money. Not long after entering the Prince's mansion, she had come up with something as good as the full-length mirror. The ladies and young women of the capital were very fond of the full-length mirrors.
Some of the Fourth Prince's small actions had also come to light. The Fourth Prince had been reprimanded by the Emperor and was confined to reflect on his actions. A good marriage that had been arranged for him also fell through. The Fourth Prince hated Miss Lu to death. At the same time, he came to hate the Lu family and the Li family as well. If it hadn't been for the incident at the Li family, the news wouldn't have leaked and been discovered.
The Fourth Prince was now reflecting and couldn't make any small moves, but once he came out, he would definitely deal with the Li family. However, the Li family wasn't afraid of a Fourth Prince without real power. If they really started to move against each other, the outcome was unknown.
Another piece of news was that Zhao Decheng, the prodigal son of the Wen'an Marquis's family, had his manhood broken while having fun with someone. Because it happened in a brothel, the matter couldn't be kept secret, and the whole capital knew about it. Many people expressed sympathy on the surface, but in their hearts, they were overjoyed, laughing with glee.
The Zhao family was now everywhere seeking famous doctors to try to cure Zhao Decheng.
Meanwhile, Li Shan, who had been waiting at the Li residence for Zhao Decheng to come and rescue her, upon hearing that Zhao Decheng had ruined his manhood at a brothel, was so angry that she coughed up blood on the spot. She had already been depressed about her allergic reaction and being confined by Mrs. Lu. Now, the man she thought was her savior turned out to be a lecher.
Li Shan couldn't accept it and smashed another tea set in her room. This time, Aunt Wang refused to replace it for her. Smashing things when angry was certainly not a good habit.
Li Shan was both furious and enraged, causing her physical discomfort to worsen. She couldn't even leave her courtyard until Li Hui returned to the capital.
In the Li family, apart from Aunt Wang and Li Yao, no one paid attention to Li Shan. Mrs. Lu and Li Xin were carefully examining themselves in the full-length mirror.
"Mother, this mirror is too clear. Look, you can even see the pimple on my face clearly," said Li Xin. She had been feeling a bit feverish these past few days, causing a small pimple to appear on her cheek.
