"Mother, I didn't hit her, I didn't scare her …"
Dongfang Ning was frightened by her reaction. She didn't understand why she kneeled down and begged for mercy. She couldn't help but quickly prove her innocence to Madam Wang. Her mother shouldn't misunderstand her again.
Seeing this, Madam Wang went up to help Liu Sisi up and comforted her gently. Her daughter was very stubborn. How could she understand the feelings of others?
"Sisi, don't kneel so easily. I'm just like you, a child of a poor family. You're okay, your father used to be an official …"
Madam Wang immediately understood that her daughter needed a friend to talk to and confide everything in her. Thus, she said:
"Princess has a straight personality. In the past, our family was not that good, so you don't have to be afraid of us. Sisi, you don't have to worry about her. You youngsters can continue chatting on your own. I'm going back."
Many years ago, she had her own worries too, but she had sisters to chat with. Ning'er had grown up in the mountains, and there wasn't a single girl her age in the villages. Her heart was lonely.
The two girls chatted and told each other everything. Dongfang Ning was simple, but Liu Sisi had a lot of experiences since she was young, so in the end, Dongfang Ning still let her leave first. Her mother was right, every family had its own problems, but she didn't know anything about Liu Sisi.
"Sisi, you go back first. I'll come see you when I have time. I'll help her take a look at your mother's illness as well. You can go back without worry!"
"In that case, many thanks, Princess!"
Liu Sisi knew of the name of Godly Doctor Dongfang Ning, but because her status was too low, she didn't dare to dream that Princess Anning could treat the wife of a sinful servant. She didn't expect that this princess wasn't as unreasonable as the legends said, but was instead kind-hearted …
Knowing that the princess was going to treat her mother's illness, Liu Sisi happily went home. However, before she could even enter the door, she was blocked by her aunt, who had been standing guard outside the whole time.
"Contempt! Where did you go last night? You still have the face to come back!"
Madame Li leaned against the doorframe, her two eyes staring straight at Liu Sisi. After a long string of curses, she discovered Liu Sisi's clothes … She couldn't even afford to wear such beautiful clothes, so how could she wear such a despicable thing like this? Where did she get it from?
"Where did you steal your clothes? Did you do something shameful when you didn't come home all night?"
Now that Liu Sisi had received word from the princess that she would come over, she decided not to remain silent anymore.
"Auntie, you have to pay attention to your words. This set of clothes was given to me by the princess. If she hears you talk like that, then your niece won't be able to help you."
"You ~"
Just as she wanted to continue cursing, she suddenly remembered what happened outside the garden fair a few days ago. She took a deep breath before turning around and returning to her room.
She would not have let it go like this, but someone came into the Liu Family's yard under the heavy rain last night. She saw an honorable carriage parked outside the door and remembered her usual attitude towards this niece of hers. She was afraid of offending someone who could afford to ride such a noble carriage.
Now that she saw Liu Sisi dressed so beautifully, could that tyrannical princess really have a relationship with her?
Thinking of this possibility, she didn't dare to speak anymore. She had to look at the situation first.
Today, Liu Sisi didn't humble herself and begged for mercy. Her voice turned forceful. Maybe the princess was behind her back, so she remembered and went back to her room.
She had already told the family that she would sell it, then take the money and run far away. She had to think of a way to get rid of the mother and daughter as soon as possible.
Her husband had a bad temper and never returned home. Originally, he had relied on her brother to feed and drink, but a few years ago, Liu Jing committed an accident and the government did not take this house away. She and her husband moved in.
She said she was taking care of the orphans and widows for her brother so she could look after him when he came to live here. Who knew that this couple actually wanted to take over this house?
That was why she had made things difficult for Liu Sisi and her mother. Who knew that Liu Sisi, that damned girl, would not move out even if she died? She had refused to listen to him when he brought out his identity as an elder and even brought along a mother who had been ill for a few years.
In fact, she had never thought about where she got her food from, how her husband had nothing to do, and how what he ate didn't come from selling his younger brother's food.
Liu Sisi had to help them wash their clothes and change their money in order to force the mother and daughter to use their mouths. Every day, she even had to serve the servants of her aunt.
That day outside the Huangfu Family Garden, she had thought that this girl had climbed onto the Princess's back, and had been extremely obedient and obedient for two days. She had forced Liu Sisi to borrow money from the Princess, so how could Liu Sisi do such a thing?
After waiting for a few more days, she realized that the princess had only made a few casual remarks and that she really had no relationship with Liu Sisi.
All these years, everything that the Liu Family could sell was sold, even a piece of good clothes was thrown into the pawnshop. The only thing left was this empty house to exchange for some money.
She was still a little afraid when talking about her husband. That person would beat her up whenever he saw her, scolding her for not having children, scolding her for only knowing how to eat all day … She would hit someone when she was drunk, but she would also hit someone when she was drunk. Then she vented all the bitterness she had onto Liu Sisi.
She believed that the Liu Family was the only one who could blame her for suffering, so she never felt guilty for bullying Liu Sisi. She had always felt that she was doing the right thing, but she was also very smart and did not let her mother know about the bullying of Liu Sisi.
That damnable young master of the Liu Family only cared about eating, drinking, and having fun all day. He did not care about his family and hit her even without money. There was nothing wrong with bullying this man's brother's mother and daughter!
Now, life was even more difficult. He had to sell this house as soon as possible. If he dragged it on any longer, it might become worthless.
Therefore, after she returned to her room, she hurriedly found a set of good clothes and put them on. She wanted to contact the person who wanted to buy her house.
Liu Sisi hurriedly walked to the most remote house in the backyard of her house. Ever since her aunt's family moved in, the place no longer had the status of mother and daughter. After moving in, they moved from the main yard to the side yard.
This could only be considered a small shelter from the elements. The small room didn't even have windows and was spotlessly clean. On a small table, her mother was working on embroidery.
"Mother, if your body isn't well, then rest. Stop embroidering. I can do it myself."
Her mother's eyes were about to go blind from crying. She was also sick and malnourished, so she would usually take on some embroidery work. Her mother would often wake up after she fell asleep to quietly help her.
"Sisi, you came back. Last night, your friend invited a doctor to take a look at your mother. See, doesn't your mother look a lot better?"
