Chapter 44 Clearing Obstacles and Letting Go

A few days later, Yan Li took a detour to visit Qi Yingxue's house by taking the opportunity to visit his sick friend, but unfortunately, Qi Yingxue went to the temple to fulfill his vow that day and was not at home.Yan Li inquired that she might not be able to come back today, so he had to ask someone to call out a girl from Qi Ying's snow house, and borrowed a pen and paper from the concierge to edit a book in a hurry, quietly gave it to the girl along with a piece of money, and ordered It must be sent to Qi Yingxue, and the girl agreed repeatedly with joy.

A few days later, the reply from Qi Yingxue that Yan Li had been looking forward to for a long time did not come, but unexpectedly, someone sent by Mrs. Wei came, saying that there was something urgent and asked him to go home immediately.Yan Li didn't know what was going on, so he had to confess a few words in a hurry, and took Song'er and Bai'er back home in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the house, Yan Li didn't care to change his clothes, so he hurried to Mrs. Wei's house with all the travel and dust.At this time, Mrs. Wei had already lashed out at the servants, and she was resting on the crooked bed. When she heard that Yan Li had returned, she hurriedly got up and sat down on the chair with a frosty face. Yan Yan walked in quickly.

After Yan Li greeted Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Wei sneered and said, "I don't know what evil I did in my previous life to let me raise such a son who eats everything!"

Yan Li was startled, and hurriedly asked: "Mother's words really made the son feel ashamed, but...what did the son do to make the mother so angry?"

When Mrs. Wei heard that he was still pretending to be fine, she became even more furious, and casually grabbed a teacup by her hand and threw it at Yan Li viciously.

Although Yan Li had martial arts skills, but because he was fully focused on listening to his mother's teachings, and kept his head down, he was defenseless until he heard the sound of heavy objects hitting his ears, so he subconsciously dodged to the side. Even though he escaped half of the tea bowl, a layer of skin was scratched on one side of his cheek. In addition, there was scalding hot water in the tea bowl, which poured it on half of Yan Li's face, and immediately that half of his face was hot. It hurts.

It happened so suddenly that not only Yan Li was stunned, but Mrs. Wei herself was taken aback by his reckless behavior. She wanted to help him check if he was injured, and then thought of the things he did that made her blew up , so he simply ignored him and just watched him coldly.

At this time, Madam Li, who had been listening to the commotion on the porch outside the door, and the other maids and servants all changed their colors in fright, and forgot Mrs. Wei's instructions, rushed in without thinking, and supported Yan Li, blowing and blowing. Look, there is a lot of chatter about asking him how he is hurting.Nanny Li was so distressed that she shed tears. She hurriedly helped Yan Li's head to take a look, and saw that half of her originally delicate face was burned red, and a layer of skin was scratched under her earlobes. He stomped his feet anxiously and said: "Oh, my good brother, why did you accidentally burn your face? What if you get a scar!"

Mrs. Wei felt even more regretful when she heard this, but she still insisted on not coming over to ask a question, she just coldly scolded Mother Li and said, "It's just a little skin trauma, so why make a fuss? Hurry up and get out, I haven't said anything yet." It's over!"

Nanny Li hastily persuaded: "Ma'am, brother is still young, please let him go this time; besides, if you are too angry, you have to think about your own health!"

Mrs. Wei sneered and said nothing.Yan Li hurriedly said: "Mama, I'm fine, you go out first, I also have something to ask mother!" Seeing that the mother and son had such an attitude, Li Nanny had no choice but to take the teacup fragments out with everyone up.

After everyone left, Yan Li calmed down his emotions a bit, and then asked: "Mother, what mistake did the son make, please tell the truth clearly, the son really can't guess."

Mrs. Wei also calmed down a little at this time, seeing that he really didn't want to confess, she had to remind him: "You asked knowingly! Let me ask you, when I gave you the family heirloom bracelet, what conditions did you promise me?"

As soon as Yan Li heard it, he guessed that it was Qi Yingxue's fault, so he simply didn't want to hide it anymore, and said truthfully: "The son did promise his mother that as long as he married Miss Lin, he would marry Miss Qi again within half a year. As a flat wife. But after thinking about it later, the son felt that agreeing to his mother was too hasty, so he begged Miss Qi to dispel this idea. After all, I did this for her good and for the good of our Yan family. Don't mother think so?"

"Bastard!" Madam Wei was so angry that the veins on her forehead popped up, she pointed at Yan Li and shouted, "The Qi family came up with the idea of ​​'Ping Wife', because that Miss Qi already knew that you had someone outside , people don't want to spoil your good deeds, but they don't want to miss you, so they begged for everything and made such a bad move. I didn't expect you to go back on your promises, make Ms. Qi lose face in front of her family, and be completely disappointed in you, so I sent someone to face you I scolded you a lot, and made me lose everyone! You said, you made things like this, and let your mother be scolded bloody by others, is it for the good of our Yan family? "

"This... my son really didn't expect..." Yan Li was also taken aback, but now, there is no room for change, so he knelt down and pleaded guilty, "This is indeed my son's recklessness, please punish me !"

"What a light punishment! Could it be that I can save my face by punishing you? Li'er, you ruined your mother's reputation and our Yan family's reputation for a woman. I am so disappointed in you! Madam Wei gritted her teeth and shed tears of disappointment.

This is the first time Yan Li has seen his mother cry since his father passed away, and he felt even more guilty. He knelt down to Mrs. Wei's feet, and confessed: "Mother, my son knows his mistake, you can beat him if you want, and you can scold him if you want. As long as you can calm down!"

"Li'er, as soon as my mother gets old, she wants to happily watch you marry a wife and have children. As long as there are successors in our Yan family, I will be able to meet your father in the future, otherwise I will die with regret!" When Mrs. Wei talked about the pain, she wept more and more.

Yan Li also assured her with red eyes: "Mother, don't worry, I have made arrangements. I will marry Miss Lin in the spring of next year. I believe that within two years, I will be able to have a grandson for my mother and inherit the incense of the Yan family... "

"That's enough, don't mention that Miss Lin in front of me again!" Mrs. Wei yelled angrily, "If it wasn't for her, you and Miss Qi would have been married long ago; if it wasn't for her, you wouldn't be against me everywhere; If it wasn't for her, our Yan family wouldn't lose all face... Li'er, let her go after my mother's persuasion, our family really can't be "high climbed"!"

"Mother! Are you really going to push your son to a dead end?!" Yan Li shouted to Mrs. Wei in despair, "Let me tell you the truth, the matter between Miss Lin and I is a foregone conclusion. If mother insists on not agreeing , then forgive your son for being unfilial!" After finishing speaking, he lay down on the ground and kowtowed three times to Mrs. Wei's feet, then got up and left without looking back!
