Chapter 3537 A Viper
At that time, the late Old Madam Li never would've thought that she had taken in a venomous snake that used its timid appearance to hide its viciousness. Not long after she got married, this 15-year-old venomous snake climbed into her brother-in-law's bed and gave birth to a child as a mistress.
When the late Old Madam Li found out that her sister and her husband had an affair and even had an illegitimate child, she fainted on the spot.
Not long after the matter was exposed, Second Old Madam Li first held her son's and daughter's hands and knelt at the entrance of the Li family's mansion. She kept saying that she was guilty and begged her sister for forgiveness. She even said that everything was her fault and had nothing to do with her brother-in-law.
She called out to her sister and brother-in-law, but she was holding the hands of the children she gave birth to with her brother-in-law. Her viciousness was astonishing.
At that time, Old Madam Li was still more than six months pregnant. Her pregnancy was not going well, so she never felt at ease even when eating or sleeping. Just as she needed to rest and recuperate, the mistress came to her house with her son and daughter. She even came to the entrance of the mansion to beg for forgiveness. How could Old Madam Li restrain herself? That day, she miscarried a baby girl that was about to take shape.
After that, Old Madam Li's body collapsed.
After the miscarriage, she suddenly seemed to have aged ten years. Her body became weaker and weaker day by day. In the end, in order to prevent the mistress from entering the house and taking control of her two children, Old Madam Li forced herself to hold on until her two sons grew up. Later, her second son also went overseas to study. Only then did Old Madam Li pass away.
Second Old Madam Li, who had endured until the first wife died, knew how to put on an act. No matter what, she would show her weakness to others. If the servants at home said something loudly, she would pretend to be so afraid that she would secretly wipe her tears. Then, she would hide under the blanket in the middle of the night and sob secretly. When Old Master Li asked, she would not say anything first. She would only say that she had a nightmare. Later, he would force her to tell him about it again and again. Only then would Second Old Madam Li say it.
In less than a year, all the servants in the Li family's old residence were driven away by Second Old Madam Li Madam Li's performance. The people who were left behind were all Second Old Madam Li's own people.
This time, Old Master Li had arranged for his son to escape and no one mentioned it to him when his eldest son came back. The anger on his face made Second Old Madam Li's heart tremble. "You've always been the one who arranged for the servants at home. Do they only report to you when things happen and ignore me?"
Second Old Madam Li's heart trembled. Her face turned even paler. She shook her head and cried, "Master, why do you have to say such heart-wrenching words?"
"Eldest Young Master just came back to his home. Do the servants have to keep an eye on him at all times? Don't you know my situation as a stepmother? Do you think I dare to ask about Eldest Young Master's return?
"If he comes back, then so be it. Why would I need to report to you on this? If I did that, you'd only say that I'm still stupid at my age."
Although her heart was trembling, she knew that Old Master Li took her words to heart.
She wanted to say a few more words, but Old Master Li, whose face was gloomy, asked her to leave first.
From the start, his eldest son and his second wife were like fire and water. If his eldest son really returned home and the servants and his second wife mentioned it to him, he would indeed scold his second wife for being stupid.
Second Old Madam Li, who did not dare to disobey Old Master Li, could only go out first. She wanted to stand at the door and listen, but she heard Old Master Li instruct the person inside to lock the door.
Knowing that she couldn't hear anything, Second Old Madam Li went downstairs to the living room and called her daughter.
Her son was gone. The only person who could make decisions for her was her married daughter.
