These days, Aunt Zhou had no children and even Li Xiangnan wasn't here anymore. Now that they saw Li Die, they all went up to curry favor with her.
"Let me see how Aunt Zhou is doing." Li Die didn't show any enthusiasm towards Bing-Er. She just smiled. However, Yan Luo didn't have such a good personality. It looked at Bing'er and twitched its mouth. It then turned its head to the other side.
"Auntie Zhou is resting in her room!" The sun was poisonous outside! "Five ladies, hurry up and go in!" Bing-Er smiled as she turned around and pushed the door open. She watched Li Die walk in and then shut the door.
"The five ladies are coming over." Auntie Zhou saw Li Die walk in and immediately supported her weak body down to the ground, smiling as she spoke.
"Auntie Zhou, don't go down to the ground anymore." Seeing that Auntie Zhou was about to get up, Li Die quickly walked over to help her up.
"Why did the five girls come over? Why wasn't the maidservant able to use an umbrella against the poisonous sun outside? " Auntie Zhou looked at Li Die. The corner of her mouth was stiff for a moment, but soon recovered. She spoke in a friendly manner.
"Where is the gold? I only came here to see Auntie Zhou this time. I'm afraid Auntie Zhou doesn't like butterflies!" Yan Luo brought over a small wooden stool and placed it in front of Aunt Zhou's bed, helping her sit down.
"Miss Wu, you must be joking. It is my pleasure to be able to see me. How can you say that you don't like me?" Auntie Zhou covered her lips with a silk handkerchief and coughed a few times. Her eyes moved about in a unique way.
Ever since Auntie Zhou had lost her child, she had never seen Li Xiangnan again. Every time she saw Li Shuangtong, she would think that she had caused the death of her unborn child.
Lady Wang, however, had never bothered with her. She hadn't brought any soup to mend her body either. Madame Zhou's face was still pale, but it didn't diminish her elegance in the slightest.
She was wearing a light pink gauze nightgown with a scarlet undergarment with golden silk threads embroidered on it, revealing a slender snow-white neck and a faintly discernible collarbone. Under half cover, she displayed a perfect exquisite curve.
"Seeing that Aunt's face is still so pale, if Aunt needs anything, just send someone over to my place and let me know." Li Die lowered her head and spoke into her eyes.
"Fifth Miss, this really surprises me." Now that she no longer had Li Xiangnan's care, she naturally didn't dare to make a fuss about Li Die. After all, she was a proper and proper concubine, and her birth mother was the most reliable one in her position as the manager's mother. Any smart person wouldn't choose to offend her at this time.
"Aunt is a butterfly's elder, and what's more Aunt and Die are of the same family. Why would a family need to talk like that?" Li Die gave a faint smile. Her scallop shaped eyelashes covered up her true emotions. She was so generous that people who saw it would love it from the bottom of their heart.
Li Die, every move she made exuded a noble aura that no one could learn.
Even with a smile on her face and a warmth that made people unable to feel the slightest bit of sternness, she was still a person that others could only look up to for no reason.
"Bing'er, go quickly and cut the honey melon that the master sent before." Auntie Zhou wore a warm smile on her face. Li Die could not see any trace of viciousness on her face.
People didn't say things from the bottom of her heart, but she really didn't see it. Li Die thought that those words were just a joke and felt really depressed.
"Fifth Miss, quickly try this. The old master sent someone to deliver this honey melon when the aunt was still pregnant. Even the aunt herself wasn't willing to eat it!" Bing'er did not forget to introduce herself as she laid on the bed. When she saw the change in Auntie Zhou's expression, she realized she had said something wrong.
He immediately grabbed his skirt and kneeled on the ground. His small face, which was previously still smiling brightly, was now incomparably pale, even losing a bit of color compared to Aunt Zhou's complexion. He kowtowed as he pleaded, "Aunt, please spare me, this servant knows that I was wrong, it's all servant's fault, please spare me …" Auntie, please spare my life. "
Everyone in Aunt Zhou's courtyard knew that ever since she had lost her child, the most taboo thing was the mention of her previous pregnancy. As a result, no one in the courtyard dared to say that she was too happy to even remember about it.
Bing-Er begged while secretly using her eyes to ask Li Die for help. She knew that Li Die was the only one who could save her now. Besides, she was kind-hearted and easy to talk to.
"Father really loves auntie!" Li Die teased her with a smile on her face. She glanced at the melon on the table, picked it up and placed it next to her mouth. The ice won't be sweet after a long time. It doesn't have enough time, but it isn't cool enough either.
Aunt's is just right here! Bing-Er's cooking skills are pretty good.
She purposely did not mention the matter of Bing'er begging for mercy. Seeing her say that, Zhou Aunt knew what she meant, so she waved her hand and said impatiently, "Hurry and get down."
Bing'er let out a sigh of relief when she saw Zhou Weiqing let her off. Before she left, she gave Li Die a grateful look. The corner of Li Die's mouth curled up slightly, making her smile so small that it was almost indiscernible. However, Bing'er saw it and knew that she must have understood what she meant.
"The five ladies are really knowledgeable! It's such a pity that I don't understand how to eat such a thing. " When Auntie Zhou heard this, she had long wanted to try it out. Previously, she hadn't eaten because she was afraid it would be bad for the child.
At this moment, her words had already aroused the gluttony in her stomach. She also picked up a piece of the meat and took a small bite.
Auntie Zhou was always so tempting even when she was eating. The corners of his eyes were raised, making people feel good about what they saw.
Li Die put down the melon and wiped her hands with a handkerchief before continuing, "Although this melon is a good thing, auntie's body isn't well, so it's better for her to eat less."
"Five more girls to remind me." As Zhou Yi spoke, she put the remaining half of the honey melon into the copper plate.
"Miss, are we really going to find Auntie Zhou?" Yan Luo didn't want to do it at first, but she was powerless to stop the girl's decision. In the end, Yan Luo had gone crazy with her.
"Third Sis was born to Auntie Zhou after all. At the very least, we have to go and take a look." Li Die sighed and continued to walk forward. Recently, she felt that she was being a bit too nosy, but every time she saw something like this, she couldn't control her heart and didn't think too much. Since it was like this, she didn't need to restrain herself anymore.
"I knew that Miss always had good intentions, but as Miss, Auntie Zhou never cared about Third Miss. Why do we need to get involved in this mess?" In short, Yan Luo wasn't satisfied with Li Die's decision this time. She even spoke a lot louder than usual. It could be seen that she was really angry.
"Third Sis is my sister after all. How can you just let me watch and ignore her?" Li Die said with a frown.
"But is the girl not in charge? "Since the girl's return — which one of you isn't in charge, and what has the girl got?" Not only did they fail to reap any benefits, they were also displeased and framed.
Amongst the rich and powerful, which family didn't have schemes, tricks, or dirty tricks? If they truly had tyrannical ability, then that was fine too. But now, if they didn't have the right to do so and didn't have any money, then protecting themselves would be a problem.
"Yan Luo." Li Die called out to her helplessly. Although Yan Luo was still angry in her heart, she didn't say anything else.
"Good day, Fifth Miss." Bing-Er was standing guard outside the door, so she didn't dare to look at her.
