Chapter 58: Congratulatory Banquet

Chapter 58: Congratulatory Banquet

Li Chang Le laid in sickness on the beauty couch, a handkerchief covering her face.

Da Furen walked over quickly and shouted angrily: “Get up!”

Li Chang Le was surprised, sat up subconsciously. Da Furen raised her hand and gave her a slap.

A vivid fingerprint mark appeared on Li Chang Le’s face, her eyes bulged, staring at Da Furen in disbelief.

“Even when you’re losing, you must be a good loser! Don’t put on such behaviour!” Da Furen’s voice was cold as ice.

Li Chang Le only felt the burning pain on her face, tears rushing out immediately: “Mother! That Yatou framed me! She set me up! It doesn’t matter that you didn’t get justice for me, you still hit me!”

“You still haven’t figure it out!” Da Furen shouted, “Kneel!”

Li Chang Le was surprised, kneeling down subconsciously.

“From a young age, I have put you on the palm of my hand, dying to pick the moon from the sky to give you. Only hoping that you can turn in dragon and phoenix, I have higher expectations for you than even your brother!” The more Da Furen talked, the angrier she became: “Who would have thought that you would be so stupid, watching someone else dug a pit and jump straight into it. Even so I do not blame you. If you fall, you just climb back up. But you would just lie in the pit smashing a pot into pieces, not knowing how to go forward… my painstaking efforts, have all been destroyed by you!”

Upon hearing this, Li Chang Le wanted to cry but dare not to, dully looking at Da Furen with tears in her eyes.

Da Furen was exasperated: “Chang Le, what did I tell you before, I have already arranged a good way for you to come out, you just wouldn’t listen, therefore being taken in by that slut!”

Li Chang Le was almost bewildered: “This is Dage----” In the beginning, it was definitely Dage who said this idea was hers, of course, she then went down the slope of the donkey.

“Your brother is simple-minded, we sent him to study in other places, don’t even know what he has learned! That he would meddle with maids of the residence! This time the two of you, have recklessly made a wedding dress for other!”

These words, at that time when she was famous throughout the world, mother had never mentioned it before, at that time she was still happy…. Li Chang Le could only refute in her heart.

“Do you know, that slut is now the Lady of Anping, a higher status than your own, just now Lao Furen has specially selected ten Yatous and Mamas to give her.”

Li Chang Le lost her calm and snapped: “This slut!”

“Since it is already one step wrong, then it cannot be wrong again, who know how many high officials and noble lords will come to tonight’s banquet, all here to celebrate Li Wei Yang becoming a titled lady, if you don’t go, isn’t that letting her gloat from now on?” Da Furen’s voice, was a bit unfeeling.

“Mother!” She moved on her knees to Da Furen’s side, “Mother, I was wrong!”

Da Furen looked at the Li Chang Le who was brimming with tears, sighed and wiped the tears from her face: “I know, you feel embarrassed, however regardless of whether it is inside the house or outside, you need to be steady, swallow your grievances! I believe, no matter how clever Li Wei Yang is, as long as you stand there, there will not be anyone who can see her!”
