In the end, Li Lijun did not make a decision.

No matter what she thinks in her heart, the Chen family will not obey her wishes. If the direct branch of the Chen family in Wuxing think it is necessary to put on a show to restore their family's reputation, they will do it without Li Lijun sending someone to ask for help.

But if they don't have this idea, then even if Li Lijun offers you a big gift, they probably won't pay attention.

Chen Weng and the Chen family first engaged in business, then married into the clan, and also made friends with the servants. The clan members who had frequent contacts with each other on weekdays were all mediocre people in the branch. In the eyes of some family members who respected their status, they were probably not

Too much for publicity, right? The reason why court officials do not make friends with close clan members is to avoid suspicion. Anyway, those Chen clan members who are sent to official positions will have a greater negative impact on the family, so the Chen clan members will have to deal with the headache themselves!

Li Lijun's tone of voice was a bit self-destructive: "What happened after my mother died, outsiders don't know and don't care, but everyone in the clan knows it. Even if they can barely put up a show, Aye and Madam Yang will not give up.

It’s shameless, why should people laugh at it? Just leave it to the princess to deal with it. If my mother-in-law is usually kind, friendly, and helpful, and even loses her life to protect others, but fails to win the respect of others, then

It makes no sense for the direct descendants of the Chen family to come here to do some superficial things."

The two nuns shed tears again. They didn't insist on anything anymore. Aunt Cui even agreed with Li Lijun's idea with some frustration: "Young lady is right. You are so injured now, you can't bear it."

Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the noble status of the clan to ask others for help? We slaves and maids have no weight in what we say, so how can the ladies of the Chen family think highly of the masters who are direct descendants of the Chen family?"

She realized like never before that once their mistress, who was the heir to the princess, died, how humble and helpless they would be! The young master, as a clan daughter with a rich family, had to be manipulated by others, so what the hell were they servants?

What? Let’s put aside all those ambitions for glory and boasting in the past, and don’t always think about taking revenge on the people in the West Courtyard and slapping them in the face. The most important thing right now is to take good care of the little lady.

Let her grow up healthy and safe. As long as the little lady grows up, is said to be a good family, and has a future, people will naturally miss her!

The two nuns understood their situation again, and no longer worried about whether any of their companions would betray their master. If someone was really interested, it would be better to get rid of them as soon as possible. Everything should be done on the basis of the little lady.

Peace comes first; money, property, and slaves are all external things.

The sky was getting dark, and lamps were lit everywhere in the garden. Erhong lit the oil lamps inside and outside the house. Mrs. Shao led Shen Jiang and the people in the kitchen to bring dinner to Li Lijun.

Today's dinner is different from the rice soup porridge that Xiao Yang usually brings. Not only does it include a bowl of thick red date and lotus seed porridge, but also a bowl of steamed egg custard with chopped mushrooms, and a cup of hot milk. It was also delivered at the same time.

There was also a box of plain white flour pancakes, with about twenty pieces, exuding a strong milk aroma.

Shen Jiang respectfully reported to Li Lijun that she had lost her appetite recently and needed to take medicine after being injured, so Princess Dou specially asked people to prepare a digestible diet. Considering that she lived in a garden water pavilion, if she was hungry at night,

It was inconvenient to find food, so I prepared some extra steamed cakes for her to eat as she needed.

Although these meals are vegetarian with a light taste, they are rich in nutrients and easy to digest. They are quite suitable for an injured little girl. Compared with the harsh diet provided by Little Yang, Princess Dou’s arrangement

It is undoubtedly much more considerate.

Li Lijun solemnly asked Shen Jiang to express her gratitude to Princess Dou, and also briefly mentioned her worries about the affairs in her mother's mourning hall and her uneasiness about the attitude of the Chen family.

The former was because the two nuns were by her side, and I don’t know how many people left by the Chen family were guarding the funeral. The funeral was nominally presided over by the successor king Li Dai, but in fact it was the chief of the Sui Palace who was in charge. However, the chief minister

Shi was a foreign official and could not stay in front of the funeral at night. In the past few days, Li Lijun had to kneel down every night and was followed by many people. Now that she is gone, will her mother be ignored?

The latter was testing Princess Dou's thoughts on the Chen family.

Unexpectedly, Princess Dou had already made arrangements for these things.

Shen Jiang told Li Lijun that Princess Dou had sent her confidants to deal with the affairs at the mourning hall in the front yard on the order of King Sui, and there would be absolutely no oversights. As for the Chen family, Princess Dou believed that several branches of the Chen family

The dandy and mediocre idler were turned away to the government because of their disobedience at the clan funeral. It was the fault of the Chen family of Wuxing for failing to educate their own children well. Their clan elders should come forward to apologize to the Sui Palace, and I believe that the Chen family would give an explanation to Li Lijun.

Princess Dou made careful arrangements, and Li Lijun had no objections.

She once again thanked her "grandmother" for her care and thoughtfulness, and mentioned that she was living in a water pavilion to recuperate. She was really afraid of what happened during the day, and she was even more worried that someone she trusted in the past would come to harm her - so she

I hope Princess Dou can temporarily close the garden and not let others in.

Shen Jiang hesitated for a moment and then said: "The princess has already ordered her to go down. The rest of the royal family can't come to disturb the fourth lady's recuperation. Even the gentlemen, the eldest lady, and the second lady have told them not to come for the time being. Whether it's to send messages.

Or delivering things, only slaves and other people waiting around the princess will come forward. If anyone else appears in front of the water pavilion, the fourth lady does not need to pay attention to it, let alone let them in. If someone dares to break in, the fourth lady will just send them away.

Report to the princess, she will definitely make the decision for the Fourth Lady!"

In order to ensure the personal safety of Li Lijun, her little granddaughter, Princess Dou has sent people to guard the entrances and exits of the garden, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering the garden at will. Shen Jiang came to deliver dinner, and actually brought a few healthy women with him, and they are currently guarding the water.

At the intersection near the pavilion, prevent idlers from approaching.

Li Lijun couldn't help but marvel: "It turns out that the princess has already thought so thoughtfully before I even opened my mouth!" She quickly expressed her gratitude to her "grandmother" again.

Shen Jiang completed his task and resigned.

Li Lijun lowered her head and looked at the food in front of her, feeling that Princess Dou was really a kind and attentive person.

Although his father Li Dai always said that this step-grandmother was not good, when Princess Dou married into the Sui Palace, he was only a few years old and at the age most likely to die young, but he grew up safely and in good health under the care of Princess Dou.

, tall, white and fat, is this something a bad stepmother would do?

Li Dai studied, practiced martial arts, socialized, and became an official without any hindrance. He even got married according to his own wishes. He married his childhood sweetheart, the daughter of a well-known family - Yang's father, who once served as the chief historian of the Sui Dynasty and was born

Hongnong Yang. He was also able to receive the title of heir king in advance. Although his official career was not smooth and he was not reused, it seemed to be more because of his own limited ability rather than someone's calculation.

Li Dai is not very respectful to his stepmother. He has lived so smoothly in the past thirty years. Who dares to say that Princess Dou is an evil woman? The Sui King also had concubines and concubines, but they all respected the princess. Except Li Dai, who was dissatisfied with her.

, when she was mentioned in the clan, she was only mentioned in good terms.

Looking at Mrs. Chen again, she is also a stepmother and a kind and kind person, but she is not welcomed by her husband, stepchildren, and concubines. Li Lijun thinks about what happened to her own mother, and she can infer that Li Dai said that Princess Dou was vicious and scheming.

If so, how much water is there?

Princess Dou's usually eccentric demeanor was probably caused by Li Dai's white-eyed wolf behavior, right?
