Before Li entered the Shulin Pavilion, he could hear bursts of laughter in the courtyard and the sound of children reciting poems loudly in their tender child voices. That was Xu Jing urging Sun Zan's lessons.

Without the help of your husband, Jing'er will do everything by herself!

Mrs. Li sighed and took the food box from Madam Wu and entered the house. Then she found that it was Xu Shu who brought up Sun Zan's songs. Xu Jing was half-sitting on the bed and smiling. When she saw Mrs. Li, she couldn't help but sit down and call, "Mother!"

"If you are not good enough, just lie down. Why are we polite between mother and daughter?" Li pressed Xu Jing's body while sitting upright, and Xu Jing had to lie down halfway again.

Madam Wu brought the chicken soup to Xu Jing and greeted Sun Zan and Sun Qi, "Madam will take you to the yard to pick flowers, okay?"

Sun Qi cheered and clapped his hands. Sun Zan glanced at his mother, and saw Xu Jing nodding, then took his sister's hand and left with Madam Wu.

Seeing that the mother had sent the child away, Xu Jing knew that Li had something to say to her, so she sent Xu Shu, "Xiaojiu, go too, help me watch Aqi. She is so handsome, and Madam Wu can't control her!"

Xu Shu pinched Xu Jing's hand, and Xu Jing pinched it back slightly. Then Xu Shu got up and saluted Li and retreated.

Xu Jing drank the soup silently. Li looked at her daughter's thin cheeks and wanted to speak but stopped. Xu Jing couldn't stand Li's appearance as if she was hiding a lot of grievances in her heart but didn't say anything. She immediately lost her appetite and put down the spoon and said, "Mother, you might as well say it directly!"

"You and your son-in-law..." When Li heard that Sun Xiang mentioned, Xu Jing's face immediately collapsed. Li had to keep silent. Seeing that Xu Jing's face had calmed down, he said, "I'm afraid of quarreling to you these two days, so I dare not mention it to you. The Sun family asked many people to post to invite the master to the banquet. The master pushed it all. Just now, your second sister also came to plead for the Sun family..."

"I know, the second sister was stopped by Xiaojiu. I guess she should go to find you!" Xu Jing looked at Li with expectation, "What did the second sister tell you? Tell me to go back?"

Li did not see Xu Jing's expression and nodded, "I asked someone from the Sun family to ask him to come to Mr. Liang, so she came back this time. She didn't say anything to me, and scolded Sister Shu first!" Even though she was also defamed by a junior, Li was angry with Xu Yan after all.

"Xiaojiu stopped her. How could she not be angry? I think it was because she had married into the Liang family. I am afraid she had never heard any unpleasant words again!" Xu Jing smiled slightly. The Liang family was named a marquis with the concubine Shu and the eldest prince. Xu Yan thought she had married into a powerful family and looked down on the Xu family again. Now Xu Shu was the only one who could Xu Yan see him, because Xu Shu had a little more face than her in front of the Empress Dowager.

Even if Xu Yan is looked down upon? It is a fact that the Xu family dares not offend the Liang family. Not only does it dare not offend, but it also has to flatter and please! Since the Liang family has interfered in the Sun family's affairs, what else can she, a woman, say? Li sighed, "I know you will be unhappy when you mention your son-in-law, but I cannot ignore it! Now that the son-in-law is missing, what are your plans... what are your plans next?"

"What are my plans?" Xu Jing couldn't help but ask, "My mother asked me that I'm afraid I've made plans for me?"

Li turned his head guiltily and refused to admit it, "I will try my best to persuade your father to follow you no matter what you want!"

Xu Jing smiled coldly, "Does my mother want to hear my truth?"

"Of course!" Li nodded and replied.

"Heli!" Xu Jing's voice was cold and firm.

Li opened his mouth wide in fear. Although Xu Hui said in anger that he wanted Xu Jing and Sun Xiang to get apart, he did not mention it again after his anger. Xu Jing mentioned it again, but Xu Yan represented the Liang family to persuade him to make peace...

"Didn't my mother say that it's all my own? Could it be that I lied to me?" The shock and flashing in Li's eyes revealed her unwillingness to let Xu Jing go, and the remaining final expectations in Xu Jing's eyes were also dissipated.

Li did not dare to look directly at Xu Jing, and looked over the raised window frame and looked at the grandson and granddaughter in the yard, "The children are still young now, how can they leave you? What if you get married, what will they do? If the Sun family really can't bear to let Zhao enter the door, and let her control the two children, won't you feel distressed?"

Xu Jing lowered her head and did not speak. She proposed Heli just to test Li's attitude, but Li's attitude disappointed her...

This is the mother who gave birth to her and raised her! But she has to push her back into the fire pit with her own hands...

Li thought Xu Jing was persuaded, so he continued to work hard, "I know the Sun family has done too much, but in life, how can everything go well? It is inevitable that they will suffer grievances. Just think of it for the sake of two children, and endure it for a few more years. Just wait until Brother Zan passes the exam..."

Tolerance... Wait... This is what a mother said to her daughter. Xu Jing has never been so disappointed with Li like now. Is her mother cowardly or plans to sacrifice her for the Xu family?

"I understand!" Xu Jing gently stirred the spoon in her hand and no longer had an appetite. "I won't divorce him. I'll go back when my health gets better!"

She would go back, but she wouldn't go back easily like this. Does the Sun family think she would bow her head if she invites Yongle Hou? Don't even think about it!

Li breathed a sigh of relief as if he had let go of him, and looked at Xu Jing's constant stirring of soup bowls and said, "The soup is cold, I'll let the kitchen heat you up!"

Xu Jing shook her head and put the soup bowl down, "It's time to take medicine, I can't drink it!"

Li sighed slightly, knowing that his strong daughter could make tolerance and regress, she would feel very uncomfortable, so she packed up her food box and left, "Stay well, just tell Madam Wu if you lack something!"

Xu Jing smiled faintly, "Is there Xiaojiu?"

Xu Shu in the yard stood gracefully under the crabapple tree, with cloth straps covering her eyes and a smile on her mouth, as if she could sense Xu Jing lifting herself and looking towards the bedroom.

"Yes! Sister Shu is here!"

Li murmured, unable to tell what it felt like, and the steps under his feet were particularly heavy!

Looking at Li's confused expression, Madam Wu bowed to Xu Shu and ran towards Li. Madam Li grabbed Madam Wu's hand and went out without saying a word. Madam Wu turned to look at Xu Shu, but only saw Xu Shu's straight back and was stepping into the house.

Xu Jing was already in tears in the room, holding the quilt tightly with her hands and suppressing her crying. Seeing Xu Shu, she finally couldn't help but say, "Mother... how can mother... how can she be like this!"

How could I treat my biological daughter like this? Just because I can't offend the Liang family, I have to push her into the fire pit!
