Chapter 2217: Spring is not too late
Shi Li didn't say anything extra, she just lifted the door curtain and walked in.
It was not surprising to see that in addition to Old Madam Fang, Fang Yu was also in the room.
Although Old Madam Fang looked sick and haggard, she could not hide her kindness as she pulled Fang Yu to sit beside the couch, looking at him as if she could never get enough of him.
When Shi Li walked in, the two of them immediately looked at her enthusiastically.
"Come quickly, Sister Li. Grandmother was just talking about you." Fang Yu gave up her seat and invited Shi Li to sit over, staring at her intently.
Shi Li saw the table next to her out of the corner of her eye, walked over and poured a cup of tea, then returned to Old Madam Fang and held the cup to her with both hands.
"Grandma, you have to drink tea no matter what. Just now the old woman said that you didn't even want to drink tea."
Naturally, this sentence was deliberately said by Old Madam Fang to deceive Shi Li.
Now that Shi Li had said it again, Old Madam Fang did not think it was wrong at all. She just took the teacup with a smile, turned around and said to Fang Yu: "Look at your sister Li, she is so filial."
Fang Yu stood there blankly. Hearing this, he touched his head and chuckled, "Yes, Sister Li couldn't be better."
Shi Li was listening nearby and her hair stood on end. She was so embarrassed that she could have dug a three-bedroom apartment on the ground with her toes.
But Old Madam Fang was determined to shock people with her words. She held Shi Li's hand with the hand that was not holding the teacup and looked at her with emotion.
"Li'er looks more and more like your mother. I feel as if your mother has returned to me. I will never be at ease with such a good girl, no matter who she marries in the future. I just want her to stay in our family for a long time."
The real purpose is revealed, and that's all I can say.
Shi Li just pretended not to understand and kept her head down without saying anything.
"Yu'er, isn't that right? Do you like your cousin?" Old Madam Fang was very good at talking to herself. She pulled her grandson's hand again, and wanted to pair the two of them up as a couple, thinking they were a perfect match.
As long as the girl is pretty, there is no one Fang Yu doesn't like.
He answered without thinking: "Yes! Of course I like my cousin!"
"Then..." Old Madam Fang's smile became more and more intense. She wanted to continue matchmaking, but this time she was interrupted by Shi Li.
"Grandma."
Shi Li raised her head, a smile on her lips, but she said firmly, "It is written in the book that girls should obey their fathers before they get married. Everything about me still depends on my father."
Perhaps only at this time, Shi Li still felt that "obey your father before you get married" was a nice saying that could be used to evade criticism.
Madam Fang's smile froze, and she continued, "What's the big deal? As long as you're willing, I'll naturally talk to your father..."
"What does Madam Fang want to say? Why don't you tell me?"
A hearty female voice suddenly sounded, completely interrupting Madam Fang's words.
Looking in the direction of the sound, Shi Li saw a lady in gorgeous clothes walking in from outside. She wore a pair of ruby-encrusted earrings on her ears, which made her look even more radiant and gorgeous.
Although Shi Li didn't know her, when she saw Ming Chen following her in, she immediately guessed that this was Mrs. Ming.
I didn't expect her to come so suddenly.
Madam Fang followed in and said awkwardly, "Mother, Madam Ming and Master Ming heard that you were ill, so they came to visit you."
Old Madam Fang glared at Madam Fang with disappointment, then turned to look at Madam Ming.
"I am a useless daughter-in-law and I have neglected my wife. Someone, serve tea."
Although Madam Fang also had an imperial decree, her status was not as noble as Madam Ming's, so she had to pretend to stand up.
She knew that Madam Ming would not really allow her to stand up and salute.
Madam Ke Ming acted as if she didn't see anything. She walked over and looked Shi Li up and down, then stretched out her hands to her, "My dear Li'er, I'm glad to see you at last."
It was their first meeting, but Madam Ming did make Shi Li feel friendly and comfortable. She walked over and stood beside Madam Ming. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ming Chen standing behind her without saying a word, and he didn't seem very happy.
Madam Fang was almost getting up from the ground with her teeth gritted. Madam Ming seemed to have noticed and said quickly, "Madam, this is not allowed. I'm here to see a doctor. How can I trouble you?"
If Madam Ming had spoken one second later, Madam Fang would have stood up.
Old Madam Fang was so angry that she kept coughing. Immediately, another person came out from behind her, knelt down beside her with ease, and handed her tea and patted her back.
Seeing Zhao Qianyue's virtuous appearance, Madam Ming curled her lips and wanted to make some sarcastic remarks, but she held back. After all, she was the elder, and she couldn't let a junior lose face.
That's what she thought, but Zhao Qianyue didn't.
Finally, Madam Fang stopped coughing. She was panicking or something, but she actually frowned and blamed Shi Li, "Sister Li'er, the old lady was coughing, why didn't you even bring her a glass of water?"
Mrs. Ming immediately raised her eyebrows.
