Chapter 9 The Great Contributor of the Li Family

"That's perfect."

"While we're at it, let's discuss with the Yun family about getting a divorce as soon as possible."

Yunwei didn't care.

Li Yaoting's pupils contracted, and he sneered, "You just wait!"

Then he picked up Chen Yuniang in his arms and quickly left Yilan Courtyard.

Before leaving, Chen Yuniang glared at Yunwei with resentment through his arm.

She won't let the slap she received today go unpunished!

One day, I will repay you twofold!
Once the two left, the room became quiet.

Tian'er finally came to her senses, her face full of triumphant joy.

She felt an unusual sense of satisfaction, especially when she thought of Chen Yuniang's face, which was swollen from being beaten.

What a despicable person, daring to be so insolent in front of her young lady.

Miss, you are amazing!

After the initial excitement subsided, she looked at her young mistress with concern. "Miss, what if the young master retaliates against you today?"

"It's alright, I'll make sure he's too busy to take care of himself." Yun Wei wasn't worried at all; on the contrary, she was confident.

These two are using her, treating her like a pawn. She has to make things difficult for them.

Didn't Li Yaoting tell her to be more magnanimous and accept Chen Yuniang?
Then she might as well be even more generous and find him a few more Chen Yuniangs!
Thinking it over, she gave Tian'er a few instructions.

After listening, Tian'er hesitated, "Do we really have to do this?"

"Yes, remember to ask around at several places, preferably those that are greedy and difficult to deal with. By the way, you can go to the entrance of the gambling den; there are always gambling addicts who sell their children," Yunwei said.

Tian'er smiled knowingly, "This servant understands, I will go out of the manor to take care of it in a moment."

-

After leaving Yilan Courtyard, Li Yaoting took Chen Yuniang to the study.

Both of them looked very unwell.

Especially Chen Yuniang.

Looking at her swollen face in the mirror, she cried again.

She's never been hit like this before in her entire life.

Even when she was exiled to the border, she didn't suffer much because her brothers protected her. Later, when Li Yaoting came, she was pampered even more.

But as soon as she returned to the capital, she was slapped like this by a village girl.

Chen Yuniang gritted her teeth in hatred, glanced at Li Yaoting's ashen face, and cried out, "Tinglang, you must do justice for me..."

Li Yaoting was extremely upset at the moment.

He hadn't expected Yunwei to be so difficult.

However, upon hearing his beloved's aggrieved cries, he still comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuniang's anger subsided somewhat, and she choked back tears as she asked, "What method do you have?"

Li Yaoting pondered for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and said, "The Yun family is so stubborn and even attacked you. It's nothing but jealousy. But does she think I can let her do whatever she wants?"

Since she won't listen to my kind advice, then I'll have to have the Yun family step in."

"The Yun family?" Chen Yuniang was taken aback. "That's Yun's maternal family. Would her maternal family really stand on our side?"

Li Yaoting said confidently, "Although Yun is the direct daughter of the Yun family, she grew up in the countryside and is not close to the Yun family. Her jealousy is a disgrace to the Yun family, especially Lou Yunshi. She and Yun have always been at odds. With her stirring up trouble in front of the Yun family, the Yun family will be even more unwilling to sit idly by."

"Lou Yunshi? You mean Yun Yao?" Chen Yuniang asked.

“Yes.” Li Yaoting nodded. “She married into the Lou family three years ago.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuniang was so happy that she forgot the pain on her face.

Before the Chen family was convicted, she had some connection with Yun Yao.

If we can get her to deal with Yun Wei, then things will get interesting.

“Tinglang, I think your method is excellent,” she said immediately. Li Yaoting nodded, “I will go to the Yun family tomorrow.”

"Hmm." Chen Yuniang's gloom vanished, as if she could already see Yun Wei's disheveled appearance.

It was already dinner time, so she stayed.

This slap in the face today shouldn't have gone unpunished, right?
Sure enough, when Madam Li saw her swollen face, she was taken aback, "Yu Niang, what happened to you...?"

With red eyes and a wronged and heartbroken expression, Chen Yuniang said, "I just went to see my sister, but I didn't expect her to dislike me and even speak ill of Huan-ge'er. I was so angry that I argued with her for a few words, and then she hit me..."

"Outrageous!" Upon hearing her beloved grandson being scolded, Old Madam Li was furious. She slammed her hand on the table and ordered the servants in a deep voice, "Someone, go and fetch Madam Yun!"

Soon, a servant went to fetch him.

Chen Yuniang's eyes flickered slightly.

She refused to believe that Old Madam Li couldn't handle Yun Shi.

Even if she can't cure it, she still has to make things difficult for the Yun family.

"Sister-in-law Yu Niang, your face must hurt a lot, right?" At this moment, Li Mingzhu, who was sitting next to her, touched the jade bracelet on her wrist and asked with concern.

Her calling her "sister-in-law" made Chen Yuniang overjoyed, and it was worth the generous gift she had bought for her.

The jade bracelet was clearly a perfect match for Li Mingzhu.

She feigned reluctance and said, "It hurt a lot just now, but it doesn't hurt anymore."

"That Yun family is really too much! What right does she have to hit people?" Li Mingzhu said indignantly.

Li's second daughter-in-law, Shen, said with a pained expression, "It's so swollen, how could they have done such a terrible thing? How could my sister-in-law... do this?"

Seeing that the Li family was on her side, Chen Yuniang was very happy and proud.

So what if Yun has been married into the Li family for three years?

No one spoke up for her.

This shows how much people dislike Yun Shi.

Chen Yuniang was in a good mood.

Before long, the servant who went to deliver the message returned.

"Where is Madam Yun?" Old Madam Li asked, frowning.

The servant stammered, "The young master's wife is not in the manor."

"Not at home?" Li Yaoting frowned.

The Yun family just returned, and now they're out again?
What do they take the Li family mansion for?

The others also looked displeased.

Especially Chen Yuniang.

Her face was filled with resentment and disappointment.

Madam Li held her hand and comforted her, "Yu Niang, the grievances you suffered today will not be in vain. When Yun Shi returns, I will definitely teach her a lesson and make her apologize to you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuniang's face lit up with a smile again. "Thank you for standing up for me, Madam."

"You are a great contributor to our Li family. If anyone dares to bully you, I will be the first to punish them," said Madam Li solemnly.

Chen Yuniang was very pleased.

After calming her down, Madam Li instructed her servants to serve the meal.

Before long, the servants brought in the dishes.

When Chen Yuniang saw the few dishes on the table, her face turned green.

She was visiting for the first time, and the Li family was feeding her such coarse and meager food?
Just now they were praising her as a great contributor to the Li family, and now they're treating her to this kind of food?
She put down her chopsticks with a displeased expression and looked at Li Yaoting with resentment.

Seeing that the dishes on the table were simple and there weren't even any main dishes, Li Yaoting's expression turned grim.

In the few days since he returned, he hadn't eaten at home and had no idea that his family was so poor.

Seeing his woman being wronged, he immediately put down his chopsticks and looked at Madam Li, "Mother, although Yu Niang has not yet entered the family, she is still the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Chen's mansion. How can such food be served to her?"
