When Li Lijun appeared in the mourning hall, everyone present was shocked.

Her face was pale and weak, with a white bandage on her forehead, and a faint trace of blood. She was carried here by the maid Erhong. When she got to the ground, she was obviously unsteady, and she still had a strong smell of medicine. She looked like this

She looked miserable. Even if she didn't explain to her relatives and friends present, everyone knew that she was injured and had to hold on.

There were people whispering that after Mrs. Chen passed away, why didn't she see her only flesh and blood, the Fourth Lady? There was only one elder, Li Jianrang, who was keeping vigil in the mourning hall. In addition, there were the nephews and nieces from the second and third bedrooms, who looked ridiculous.

Although some people mentioned that the daughters of the successor king Li Dai were weak, perhaps sick, some people still murmured secretly.

Now the answer is out. Chen's biological daughter Li Lijun was so seriously injured that she is still far from being cured! Isn't it normal for her to miss the mourning hall for a few days? But now she has to endure the injury.

Insisting on kneeling down was too much filial piety, and the elders in the Sui Palace really didn't care for the younger ones.

As soon as Li Lijun knelt down on the mat at the back of the mourning hall, several elders, nobles and princesses from the clan immediately gathered around to persuade her, telling her to go back to rest first and recover from her injuries.

Li Lijun showed a shy and slightly bitter smile: "Thanks to all the aunts and aunts for their sympathy, the Er family is fine. This injury is not important. I only have one flesh and blood of the Er family, how can the Er family

Seeing her alone in the mourning hall? No matter what, I will accompany my mother on her last journey."

The image of a filial, well-behaved and sensible little lady was thus established. All the female members of the clan present were moved by her, and repeatedly praised her for her filial piety. Someone ordered someone to take the certificate, so that Li Lijun could rely on her when she knelt down.

Some people felt that her clothes were too thin and it was better to add a cloak; some were worried that she would catch the cold while kneeling near the coffin, so they suggested that she kneel farther away and drink some hot ginseng soup; some solemnly asked those around her to

The maids and ladies took good care of Li Lijun and sent her back to the back house when it was almost time; some even went to talk to Princess Dou and Mrs. Huang from the second room of the Sui Palace, asking them to treat Li Lijun a little better and take more care of the motherless children.

One point, don't leave the family just because Mr. Chen passed away.

No matter how you look at it, this is not the treatment that a young lady who lost her mother deserves at a wake, but no one thinks it is wrong.

Some of the female relatives of these clans had experienced the rockery incident yesterday and knew the truth about Li Lijun's injury; some were completely unaware and had at most heard some irrelevant gossip and wondered why Li Lijun suffered so badly after not seeing each other for a day.

She was injured and felt pity for her; some people even became curious and wanted to know whether Li Lijun's injury was related to the absence of Xiao Yang and Li Yanjun.

Some people also mentioned that Li Lijun was already here. Li Yanjun, a concubine, was nowhere to be seen. Li Chujun, the eldest daughter from the previous marriage, also did not come to kneel at the funeral. Isn’t this justified in terms of etiquette? Everyone knew in their hearts that Chen

He died at a young age just to protect the children in his family. The children who have received the kindness should always be grateful, right?

No matter how Li Chujun said her stepmother was unkind in the past, she shouldn't talk about it anymore, because facts have proven that her stepmother is virtuous and kind, but her stepdaughter is a bit ungrateful. If she can correct her attitude in time,

It can be said that the child's family is ignorant and misunderstood the character of the stepmother. Now that he knows how to be grateful, everyone is happy.

Li Lijun listened to the discussions of the elders around her without saying a word, just acting like a well-behaved and quiet junior. It was Princess Dou who came with her second aunt Huang to help her out: "Stop crowding around Li Niang. She can't bear to leave her."

Mother, let her stay with her mother for a while." Then he ordered Madam Shao and Erhong, "Serve the Fourth Madam well and send her to the teahouse at the back in a quarter of an hour to prevent her injury from getting worse." Madam Shao and Er Hong said.

Erhong responded quickly.

Princess Dou also looked at Li Lijun with worried eyes: "Is it really okay? Yesterday I saw that your complexion was fine. Shen Jiang also said that you were fine. Why is your complexion so bad now?"

Li Lijun smiled at her. Against her pale face, it looked like she was forced to smile: "Don't worry, grandma, she's fine. It's just that the wound hurts a little."

Princess Dou sighed: "Go back in a while. Your mother knows your filial piety and would rather you heal your injuries first."

She took the female family members of the clan and went to talk elsewhere, leaving Li Lijun with peace. But in this mourning hall where people were coming and going, how could Li Lijun really enjoy peace and quiet? As soon as everyone left, Li Huijun, the second sister of the third room, came over.

.

Li Huijun is the only daughter of Li Lang, the third son of King Sui and Princess Dou. She is eleven years old this year. Her biological mother Wang died in childbirth, and her father Li Lang refused to continue their marriage, so she was raised by her grandmother Princess Dou.

However, in recent years, whenever it was time to teach Li Huijun the skills of managing a director, Princess Dou would send her to the Chen family. She believed that Chen, the heir princess, was better at managing the family business than she was. Therefore, the contact between Li Huijun and Li Lijun

A lot, and the relationship between sisters is pretty good.

Compared to her eldest sister Li Chujun and third sister Li Yanjun, both of whom were born from the same father, Li Huijun is much kinder to Li Lijun. She has a gentle temperament and can distinguish right from wrong, and will not be easily fooled by the slanderous words of Xiao Yang and others.

Sometimes Li Chujun was too rude to Mr. Chen, and Li Huijun would try to persuade her, but the former would not listen.

The third room lives in the North Courtyard, located in the northwest corner of the Sui Palace, some distance away from the garden. Li Huijun has no mother, and her father has a concubine. She is also an honest type and does not dare to pry around in the palace. Therefore, what happened in the garden yesterday

, it took a long time for it to reach her ears, or her wet nurse heard about it from Princess Dou's maid. She didn't know the specific details, but she just learned that Li Lijun was injured by Li Yanjun, so she kept thinking about visiting her.

She didn't get the chance until now.

She knelt down next to Li Lijun, carefully looking at the bandage on the latter's forehead to cover the wound and his pale face, with a worried look on her face: "Fourth sister, are you really okay? If you feel unwell, why don't you go back and rest?

Even if I see you like this, I won't feel at ease."

Li Lijun twitched at her: "I'm fine, it just looks scary on the outside, but it's actually not serious. Just rest for a day or two and it'll be fine."

Li Huijun sighed, and helped her move the table that the maid had just brought to a more advantageous position: "I've heard all about it..." As she spoke, she glanced around, "What is the third sister so crazy about? She wants to do it to her.

Are you so ruthless?! My wet nurse tried every means to find out the inside story, but she never got the clue. The people around grandma were tight-lipped. I heard that the third sister was sent to a side hospital to be grounded. That place is not far from our north hospital.

I secretly went over to ask her, but she only knew how to complain, saying that you had framed her, but she couldn't explain why. It was obvious that she was lying with a guilty conscience..."

Li Lijun sneered. She knew that Li Yanjun would not be willing to be punished, but it didn't matter, she would not let the other party have the opportunity to confuse right and wrong.

She responded softly: "What's the use of the third sister being tough now? Aye has already convicted her, and she was given a lighter sentence. She just hopes to put the matter to rest. She only cares about her own face and doesn't understand Aye at all."

painstaking efforts.”

"Maybe she didn't lie?" A voice interrupted the conversation between sisters Li Lijun and Li Huijun. When they looked back, it turned out that the eldest sister Li Chujun had arrived at some time and was standing behind them, looking down at them.
