Madam Jiang nodded in satisfaction.
Did Miss Jiang the Fourth still want to sever ties with the Li family? Such petty tricks were really ridiculous.
When Miss Jiang the Fourth woke up, she felt something heavy on her hand, as if something was pressing on it.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Young Master Li sleeping soundly on her arm.
Miss Jiang the Fourth was so startled that she sat up abruptly. But due to her weak body, she fell back on the bed and coughed violently.
Why was this fool here?
Young Master Li woke up after hearing the noise and looked at Miss Jiang the Fourth in surprise.
"Wife, you're finally awake. I was so scared." And I was scolded by mother. I didn't dare to talk back to her.
So you have to scold her back for me later.
Young Master Li looked at Miss Jiang the Fourth pitifully, with tears welling up in his eyes.
"Why are you here?" Miss Jiang the Fourth stared at Young Master Li intently.
Young Master Li thought for a while and said seriously, "Mother brought me here. She said I should come and apologize to you."
After hearing Young Master Li's words, Miss Jiang the Fourth felt a bit relieved. Fortunately, it seemed that this fool had just come in by accident. Her plan had succeeded.
Miss Jiang the Fourth looked at Young Master Li triumphantly. "Go and find your mother quickly. She'll be worried if she can't find you." Miss Jiang the Fourth said to Young Master Li gently.
Young Master Li looked at Miss Jiang the Fourth reluctantly. But mother had said he should listen to his wife. So if his wife told him to find his mother, he would go.
"Then I'll go. Wife, you have a good rest." With that, Young Master Li slowly stood up and walked outside.
Miss Jiang the Fourth let out a sigh of relief as she watched Young Master Li leave.
Not long after, Li Jiaojiao came.
"Congratulations, Miss Jiang the Fourth. Your wish has come true." Li Jiaojiao said to Miss Jiang the Fourth with a smile.
"I really have to thank you for this. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get rid of this fool." Miss Jiang the Fourth said to Li Jiaojiao in a good mood.
"So what should we do next?" Li Jiaojiao looked at Miss Jiang the Fourth and asked.
Miss Jiang the Fourth rolled her eyes and said, "Madam Jiang found such a good family for me. How can I not return the favor?" Miss Jiang the Fourth said sinisterly.
A glint of excitement flashed in Li Jiaojiao's eyes. She didn't have a good impression of her aunt either. Her aunt always gave her trouble and said it was for her own good, but she had never seen Madam Jiang take her to any banquets.
She had been in the capital for such a long time and there were still many young masters and noble families she hadn't met.
Sure enough, if you weren't your mother's own daughter, you would be treated differently.
She, Li Jiaojiao, had had enough of this life of living under someone else's roof and having to watch others' faces. So she had to find another way out.
"By the way, here's this. It's an invitation letter from a young lady in the capital. I don't need it. You can take it."
Miss Jiang the Fourth put it in front of Li Jiaojiao condescendingly.
But Li Jiaojiao didn't care about Miss Jiang the Fourth's attitude. As long as she could have a good life in the future, she didn't mind all the hardships she was going through now.
Miss Jiang the Fourth looked at Li Jiaojiao's naive look and felt extremely disdainful.
After Li Jiaojiao got what she wanted, she left. Miss Jiang the Fourth hadn't been in the room for long when she heard someone outside say that Madam Jiang had brought Madam Li and the others here to apologize.
Miss Jiang the Fourth immediately lay in bed weakly and said feebly, "Cough... Let them in."
When Madam Li came in, she saw Miss Jiang the Fourth sitting on the bed, coughing continuously.
"Oh dear, you're so ill. Lie down quickly, quickly. It's all my stupid son's fault. Don't worry. Our Li family will never treat you badly."
Madam Li patted Miss Jiang the Fourth's hand kindly.
Miss Jiang the Fourth smiled weakly. "Madam Li, you don't need to blame yourself. I did this willingly. It's just that I'm afraid my body will have some lingering ailments."
After saying that, there was a faint bitter smile on the corner of Miss Jiang the Fourth's mouth. Anyone who saw it would feel sorry for her.
Madam Li looked at Miss Jiang the Fourth and said, "Don't worry. Our Li family will take full responsibility for this matter." After all, she was her son's fiancée. It was always right to take good care of her.
Miss Jiang the Fourth always felt something was wrong, but she still nodded.
"Thank you, Madam Li."
Madam Jiang looked at Miss Jiang the Fourth's weak appearance and sneered inwardly. She was really good at acting.
"Fourth Miss, you don't need to worry. Madam Li didn't blame you for not taking good care of Young Master Li. Why do you blame yourself so much?
Besides, Madam Li has just sent the betrothal gifts. She knows you get along well with Young Master Li, so I've already agreed on your behalf."
After hearing Madam Jiang's words, Miss Jiang the Fourth widened her eyes in disbelief and stared at Madam Jiang and Madam Li.
Weren't they here to talk about compensation? Why had it come to the stage of sending betrothal gifts? What had gone wrong?
Madam Li saw Miss Jiang the Fourth's look of disbelief and thought she was just excited. So she smiled and comforted her, "Miss Jiang the Fourth, you don't need to worry about the relationship between a daughter - in - law and her mother - in - law in the future.
As long as you marry into our Li family, even if you beat my son every day, I won't say a word."
It was not easy to find a fiancée for her son. It was better to coax her back first.
Madam Jiang giggled. "Madam Li, you're right. Our Fourth Miss is the gentlest. Didn't what happened on the street this morning prove it?"
Madam Li's eyes lit up. Right! This Miss Jiang the Fourth must have taken a fancy to her son. Although her son was a bit simple - minded, he was good - looking.
Plus, from the way Miss Jiang the Fourth protected her son on the street, it could be seen that she liked her son. So she was relieved.
Madam Li stood up satisfied, left the tonics she had brought, and said to Miss Jiang the Fourth with a big smile, "Miss Fourth, you should take good care of your illness first. When you're better, I'll bring my son to see you."
After saying that, Madam Li left with Young Master Li. Madam Jiang followed them out to see them off, leaving Miss Jiang the Fourth alone in the room, facing the sudden silence.
"Ah!!!"
Miss Jiang the Fourth grabbed her hair and shook her head crazily.
"Why! Why is this happening!!"
Everything had been planned. She had paid such a high price. Why didn't the Li family give up this idea? Were they just going to stick to her?
