After Secretary Si left, Tang Li complained to Qi Yihan, âI think Secretary Si came to ask if Second Sister is his other half. He just wants to confirm, but he never thinks about how to pursue Second Sister. Does he think that once it is confirmed, he can marry Second Sister right away?â
Qi Yihan grabbed her hand and tightened his grip. âDonât worry, even if he wants to, he canât. If he wants to marry Second Sister, he has to be tested by First Uncle.â
Tang Li felt that it made sense and was relieved. âBut fortunately, Secretary Si is a good person. Otherwise, I wouldnât have bothered to tell him.â
Qi Yihan smiled. âThatâs right. His character is not bad, but in some ways, heâs just retarded.â
These words amused Tang Li, and she nodded in agreement.
The four of them went back after supper.
Butler Yang and Butler Zhang were waiting for them by the door.
When everyone walked in, Butler Zhang told the two of them, âMiss Tanâs mother came over today.â
Hearing that, Tang Li said to Qi Yihan, âFirst Madam is crazy now. I think there will be a lot of fun in First Masterâs house.â
Qi Yihan thought for a moment and said to Butler Yang, âSend someone to watch over there. Make sure no one dies.â
Butler Yang nodded. âAlright.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The next morning, Tan Wenjing brought her mother to see Qi Yihan and Tang Li.
At this moment, the two of them were planning to go for a walk. As soon as they walked out of the courtyard, they bumped into them.
Tan Wenjing was still holding a pastry box in her hand, and Mrs. Tan was holding several overlapping gift boxes.
When the two of them saw Tan Li, they immediately greeted, âFourth Master, Fourth Madam.â
Tang Li and Qi Yihan stopped.
When the two of them approached, Tan Wenjing quickly said, âFourth Master, Fourth Madam, this is my mother. She just came over yesterday afternoon. I brought her here to greet you today.â
Mrs. Tan quickly handed the gift boxes to them. âFourth Master, Fourth Madam, these are all local specialties I brought from my hometown. Wenjing has caused trouble for you guys in the Li family recently. Thank you for taking care of Wenjing.â
At this moment, Butler Yang, who heard the voice, walked out.
He walked over and took the gift boxes from Mrs. Tan.
Tang Li said, âThank you.â
Mrs. Tan smiled even more broadly and told them who these gift boxes were for. âThe two at the bottom are for Fourth Master and Madam, the two in the middle are for Young Master Qiqi and Miss Linlin, and the two at the top are for Butler Yang and Butler Zhang.â
Butler Yang, âThank you for your gift, Mrs. Tan.â
âAh, thereâs no need to thank me. Itâs just a small gift. When Wenjing marries into the Li family, Iâll have to ask you to take care of her.â
After Mrs. Tan finished speaking, Tan Wenjing handed the pastry box to Butler Yang. âThis is the snack I made. Fourth Madam and Linlin can eat it later.â
Tang Li nodded and thanked her. Then, she said, âCome in and sit.â
With that, she looked at Qi Yihan.
Qi Yihan said to her, âIâll go for my morning jog.â
Tang Li nodded and Qi Yihan left.
Tang Li brought the Tan family into the living room.
After sitting down, Tang Li picked up the tea and took a sip before asking Mrs. Tan, âI wonder if Mrs. Tan is used to staying at the Qi mansion. If you are not used to it or if you need anything, you can tell Butler Zhang. He will arrange it for you.â
Mrs. Tan immediately smiled and felt that her daughter was really lucky. Not only did she let Second Master of the Li family marry her, but she also made friends with Fourth Madam. In the future, she would definitely be able to live well in the Qi family.
She decided to express her stance in front of Tang Li.
âWenjing is really fortunate to have Fourth Madam take care of her. Fourth Madam, if you need anything in the future, just tell us. The Tan family will definitely not hesitate to help you.â
How could Tang Li not know what she was thinking? She said, âI rarely interfere with the matters in the Qi Mansion. Other than important financial expenses, I donât care about anything else. Of course, if thereâs anything, the two butlers can do it. After Wenjing gets married, she just needs to take care of Qi Hao.â
âYes, yes, yes.â Mrs. Tan was even happier.
It was even better if Fourth Madam didnât like to manage the Qi family. This way, Wenjing would have a chance to help her manage it.
As long as Wenjing could manage the Qi family, it would be easier for her to take care of the Tan family in the future.
Looking at Mrs. Tan, who was beaming with smiles, Tang Li shook her head.
The mother and daughter sat for a while before leaving.
After walking out of the courtyard of Fourth Masterâs house, Mrs. Tan couldnât stop smiling. She held Tan Wenjingâs hand and said excitedly, âI didnât expect Fourth Madam to be so easy to talk to. Wenjing, you have to curry favor with her more. She said that she doesnât like to manage her family. You can help her share the burden.â
Tan Wenjing was about to ask her mother to restrain herself when a cold snort came from the side.
The two of them were shocked and quickly looked over.
Qi Bailing stood there and looked at the two of them coldly. A mocking smile appeared on her face. âYouâre overestimating yourself! Youâre someone who married my second brother through tricks, and now you want to suck up to Fourth Aunt? Just wait and see, Fourth Aunt will teach you a lesson.â
With that, she looked at Mrs. Tan with displeasure in her eyes. âSince youâre here, why donât you go to my motherâs place to greet her first? Why? Do you think my mother is not worthy?â
âNo, no, noââ¬Â¦ Miss Bailing, you got me wrong.â
Mrs. Tan sneered in her heart. âDo you think Iâm a fool? Do you think Iâll go to that lunaticâs place to get beaten up?â She said with fear and trepidation, âWhen I came, I asked Hao. He said that I donât have to go.â
âJust because Second Brother said you donât have to go doesnât mean you donât have to go.â Qi Bailing glared at Tan Wenjing. âDidnât you read the Qi familyâs rules? You donât even know the Qi familyâs rules. What right do you have to marry into the Qi family?â
Tan Wenjing knew that Qi Bailing was deliberately finding fault with her. She was about to marry Qi Hao, so even if Qi Bailing wanted to find fault with her, there wasnât much she could do. Tan Wenjing didnât care at all, so she said, pretending to be nice, âBailing is right. Itâs my fault. Iâll immediately bring my mom to see First Madam.â
âCall me Fourth Miss. As long as youâre not married to my Second Brother, youâre not my sister-in-law.â
âYes, Fourth Miss.â
With that, she pulled Mrs. Tan away.
Qi Bailing looked at the two of them coldly and thought to herself, âYouâre not qualified to marry my second brother.â
She had to think of a way to stop the marriage.
It just so happened that she had obtained a drug that could make people die mysteriously. Now, she could use it. Moreover, she could also push the blame to that bastard. It was killing two birds with one stone.
At the thought of this, she smiled wickedly.
