Chapter 209: Chapter 209

Xue Family was scared out of their wits.

She released Guoguo and bolted away.

However, just as she reached the door, she was blocked by Li Yuzhu!

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing here?" Li Yuzhu looked at her, her voice cold as she asked.

Earlier, while eating in the kitchen, Li Yuzhu couldn’t calm herself to eat.

She kept thinking about Guoguo.

Thinking about Guoguo made her heart race.

She couldn’t finish her meal, made an excuse that she was done, and said the weather was stifling, so she wanted to take a walk in the courtyard.

Leaving the kitchen, she immediately headed to the North Courtyard’s main house.

Unexpectedly, she saw Xue Family step into the room first.

After Xue Family entered, she didn’t light a lamp, unknown what she was up to.

Wanting to scare Xue Family, she purposely shouted that the Princely Heir was here.

Unexpectedly, it frightened Xue Family and she ran out.

The moonlight shone down, illuminating Xue Family’s panicked face.

"Sister-in-law, in this pitch black, what are you doing here?" Li Yuzhu glanced at the main room, then asked Xue Family, a mocking smile on her lips.

"I... I came to discuss something with Mother, she’s not here, I... I’ll go first." Xue Family pushed Li Yuzhu aside, trying to run away.

But at this moment, Li Guoguo from the bedroom suddenly started crying loudly, her cries were heartrending.

Li Yuzhu was so frightened her heart raced, letting go of Xue Family as she rushed into the room.

Who knew Xue Family suddenly ran.

Li Yuzhu’s eyes narrowed, quickly grabbing her, "Sister-in-law, stop! Guoguo is crying and you’re not checking on her, why are you running?"

"Let go of me!" Xue Family shouted angrily, pushing Li Yuzhu hard.

"I won’t let go, you come back with me to see Guoguo!" Li Yuzhu held onto her tightly.

"You wicked girl, do you want a beating?" Xue Family raised a hand to slap Li Yuzhu’s face.

Li Yuzhu quickly reacted, pulling out silver needles from her space to incapacitate Xue Family, then she rushed into the bedroom.

On the bed, Guoguo was crying loudly, "Aunt—"

"Auntie’s here, Guoguo don’t be scared." Li Yuzhu pushed aside the curtain and saw a big pillow pressing down on Xiao Guoguo’s head.

Guoguo’s small arms were struggling to push the large pillow off, her little feet kicking wildly.

The clever Guoguo had turned her head to the side, avoiding suffocation from the pillow!

Li Yuzhu was so scared her heart was in her throat, she quickly tossed the pillow aside, holding Guoguo in her arms to comfort her.

Guoguo wrapped her small arms around Li Yuzhu’s neck, still crying incessantly, "Aunt—, Aunt wa—"

"Auntie’s here, Guoguo don’t be scared." Li Yuzhu gently patted her back, her heart still racing uncontrollably.

What a malicious Xue Family, what was she doing?

Li Guoguo is her daughter!

Yet she used a pillow to press on Li Guoguo!

Did she want to kill her?

Ancient pillows were different from modern ones, modern pillows, despite their large size, were filled with light cotton or cotton-like materials, weighing mostly around one pound, no more than two.

But ancient pillows, some were made of jade, whole blocks of wood, porcelain, herbal pillows, cheaper ones were grain pillows, poor people used chaff pillows.

These pillows, the light ones were four or five pounds, the heavy ones were seven or eight pounds.

Princess Consort Luling’s pillow was a double pillow, about a meter long, filled with about six to seven pounds of chaff!

And the thin little Guoguo now weighed just over ten pounds!

Something weighing more than six pounds on a ten-pound Guoguo, how could Guoguo turn over?

"Aunt wa, Aunt wa—" Guoguo was crying so hard she couldn’t catch her breath.

"Guoguo don’t be scared, Auntie’s here with you all the way." Li Yuzhu took a deep breath, carrying Guoguo to the outer room.

Xue Family was sitting on the doorstep, rubbing her left leg.

Her left leg suddenly hurt earlier, then went numb, her entire leg felt useless, leaving her unable to walk, and she kept cursing Li Yuzhu in her mind in anger.

Li Yuzhu pushed her earlier, then she ended up , this must have been Li Yuzhu’s doing.

"Xue Wenzhen!" Li Yuzhu carrying Guoguo walked over, glaring down at Xue Family sitting on the ground, sternly asked, "What did you just do to Guoguo?"

Xue Family coldly lifted her eyes, "My daughter, what I do is none of your concern?"

"Your daughter, so you wanted to kill her?" Li Yuzhu sneered.

"You’re spouting nonsense! Why would I kill her?" Xue Family shouted.

"Then what’s with the big pillow on her head? Don’t tell me Guoguo hugged it herself onto her body, she doesn’t have that kind of strength right now." Li Yuzhu said angrily.

"What’s it to you?" The Xue Family sneered.

"What’s it to me?" Li Yuzhu sneered back, "You’ve divorced my brother, and since you don’t want the child, Guoguo belongs to my family now. How dare you say it’s none of my business? She’s my biological niece, of course it’s my business!"

Guoguo stopped crying, turned her head, and looked quietly at the Xue Family, her little face drawn out long.

The Xue Family met her gaze, and her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

"So, you’re no longer part of my family. Why should I let you stay here? Get out!" Li Yuzhu freed a hand and pushed the Xue Family, "Get out immediately!"

The Xue Family protested, "Your brother said I could stay for the night, what right do you have to chase me out?"

"Just because you abused Guoguo! Just because you once wanted to sell me!" Li Yuzhu pushed her again, "Leave now, or else I’ll deal with you unkindly!"

Before, considering the Princely Heir and his family, she let things slide with the Xue Family, but now, she just wanted her gone far away.

"Before, I treated you kindly because you were the biological mother of Guoguo and Jingjing. No matter how bad a mother is, she’s still the mother. But now, since you don’t want Guoguo and Jingjing, and don’t want to be a mother, let’s part ways!"

Li Yuzhu placed Guoguo in her special high-backed chair, grabbed the large scissors from the sewing basket in the room, and pointed it at the Xue Family, "Are you leaving or not? If not, I’ll kill you today!"

In the moonlight, the cold glint of the scissors was terrifying.

The Xue Family was so scared her face turned white.

"Fine, fine, Li Yuzhu, you just wait!" The Xue Family gritted her teeth, got up from the ground, and hobbled forward.

"I’ll wait, I’ll wait! People do as they please, but heaven is watching. Someday, heaven will strike you dead!" Li Yuzhu went back, picked up Guoguo, and pursued the Xue Family all the way to the gate of the house.

She opened the door and pushed the Xue Family out.

The Xue Family felt herself up, thankfully, the divorce letter was still there, as well as the pair of jade bracelets, and she still had a hundred coins in her pocket.

She wouldn’t die; she’d go find Yu Wen Zan!

Li Family, just you wait and see!

Li Yuzhu shut the courtyard door.

She looked at Guoguo in her arms and sighed, "Guoguo, fortunately, you’re still small, and won’t remember any of this."

If this child knew her own mother treated her , wouldn’t she be furious?

Thankfully, she’s too young to remember.

Jingjing, only two years old, doesn’t remember either. The Xue Family often yelled at him, pinching him when she was angry, but by the next morning, he’d forgotten it all and was close to her again.

Guoguo held Li Yuzhu’s face and kissed her, first on the left side, then the right.

"Auntie." She called sweetly.

Li Yuzhu laughed, "You little one, you cried so fiercely just now, but now you’re smiling. That’s just like a child."

Guoguo held Li Yuzhu and leaned her head on her shoulder.

"Come, let’s go find grandma and grandpa, and your uncles! Oh, and your aunties; your mom may not want you, but your aunt and uncles do. We have a big family; they’ll all protect you." Li Yuzhu patted Li Guoguo’s back.

Guoguo softly said, "Mm."

Li Yuzhu laughed, "You can even respond? Do you understand what I’m saying?" Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel※fire.net

"Mm." Guoguo responded again.

Li Yuzhu laughed again.

She carried Guoguo into the kitchen.

Everyone had just finished eating, sitting around the table chatting leisurely.

Princess Consort Luling saw Li Yuzhu carrying Guoguo in and reached out with a smile, "Why did you bring Guoguo here? Has she woken up?"

"She woke up crying, so I brought her here." Li Yuzhu handed Guoguo to Princess Consort Luling.

The little girl wrapped her arms around Princess Consort Luling’s neck, snuggling affectionately.

"Oh dear, such a clingy one, aren’t you?" Princess Consort Luling laughed.

Prince Luling looked envious and reached out, "Come, come, grandpa will hold you."

Guoguo wriggled into Prince Luling’s arms.

"Hey, hey, Guoguo is clingy with me too." Prince Luling was very pleased.

"Hold her carefully. When the kids were born, you hardly ever held them. Old man, do you even know how to hold a child?" Princess Consort Luling’s arm never relaxed, watching Guoguo tensely.

"Stop underestimating me. See, I’m holding her just fine, aren’t I? Guoguo hasn’t complained." Prince Luling glared.

"She’s small and doesn’t understand; if she did, she’d definitely mind you, old man." Princess Consort Luling rolled her eyes.

"Tch! My granddaughter could never mind me!" Prince Luling puffed out his beard!

He joyfully brought his face close to kiss Guoguo.

Guoguo, pricked by his beard, yelled, "No!"

Princess Consort Luling’s fist came flying immediately, "Get away, you old fool! Your beard scratched Guoguo."

She snatched Guoguo away.

Prince Luling rubbed his face dejectedly, "My beard is obviously soft."
