Chapter 48: Drugging
Song Hanmei exploded, “You even had a wedding with her mom? Didn't you say you only did it once?”
Li Junlu: "…"
Ying Sisi continued, “My mom got married properly. Everyone in the village knows that Dad made two lines of sour poetry for Mom. My grandfather even mentioned it to me before he passed away, Sisi, if you ever hear anyone reciting « A lovely maiden, a gentleman seeks her » you must not pay attention.
That's how your mom was tricked by a heartless man.
My mom was a maiden. Dad, are you a gentleman? You can judge for yourself.”
Li Junlu: "…"
“Li Junlu! You lied to me! I'm going to fight you!” Song Hanmei lunged at him, scratching and clawing.
“The kids are here, you're... Ouch!” Li Junlu ducked.
Li Yuwei tried to pull them apart. “Dad, Mom, stop it. What will people say if they see you like this?”
Song Hanmei's eyes were red with anger. She couldn't listen.
Ying Sisi saw the two of them pushing and shoving each other and had a flash of inspiration.
She stepped forward to pull them apart.
In the chaos, she took something from Song Hanmei's pocket.
Only when she got back to her room did she see that it was a package of powder.
She wanted to feed it to her A-Ci, didn't she?
I'll make the whole family drink it.
Let's see who makes whom feel good!
Ying Sisi went into the kitchen and sprinkled all the powder into the water bottle, then went back to the living room as if nothing had happened.
Song Hanmei and Li Junlu were tired of fighting and arguing.
She told Li Yuwei to pour some water.
Li Yuwei reluctantly poured some and drank a little.
Sisi watched them drink the water and waited for something to happen.
But Song Hanmei started arguing with Li Junlu again.
Their voices rose higher and higher.
She realized that there was too much water, which had diluted the drug. She was a little regretful. She should have poured out some of the water in the bottle.
At that moment, Li Yuwei got up and went out.
Sisi's expression changed slightly, and she followed her. She went all the way to the street where Song Hanmei's family lived.
She saw Li Yuwei go into the large courtyard where the second brother, Feng, lived.
Not long after.
They came out, laughing and talking, and headed toward the park.
Feng Shuangxi's eyes were glued to Li Yuwei.
He kept praising her. “Yuwei, you're so pretty. Your skin is so white.”
Li Yuwei's eyes were glazed over, and her heart was on fire. “Do you want to marry me?”
“I do. I dream of it.” Feng Shuangxi was consumed by immense joy. He was speechless. “I'll go ask for your hand tomorrow.”
“Are you serious?”
“Really, you can ask for whatever conditions you want, I can satisfy them all”
“I'm not greedy for your money. Just be good to me.”
"…"
Sisi saw them go into a grove of withered bamboo from a distance. She hesitated for a second before following them.
She saw them embrace each other, just like Qin Yanci and her.
But it wasn't the same.
Li Yuwei was the one in charge. She seemed to know more than Qin Yanci.
Her heart was pounding.
She couldn't watch any longer. She turned around and ran away.
When she got back to the house, the door was locked.
She listened carefully. She could hear people talking inside.
She didn't understand what they were saying, but she knew it was a very private conversation.
She quickly stepped back.
She thought she should still go see Qin Yanci. Maybe something had happened.
Elder brother Qin's three other children had returned. There were also two nannies to take care of them.
It was noisy inside the house.
Qin's parents were very warm and welcoming.
Especially mother Qin. She held Sisi's hand and looked her up and down.
What a beautiful daughter-in-law! Just a little bit of makeup made it hard to take her eyes off her.
Father Qin was as generous as always. As soon as he saw her, he gave her a red envelope.
Sisi declined at first, but then she accepted it.
Mother Qin asked, “Why isn't Yanci with you?”
Sisi was stunned. “I was just going to ask you the same thing.”
Mother Qin was startled. “I thought he went to see you.”
