Chapter 228 Traditional skills cannot be peeped at!
Of course she knew that this Lord Wang was Sima Yue's great-uncle. He used to be an official, but now he has retired and returned to his hometown. The Sima family still thought that they could turn things around by relying on a person who was not in the right position. It was impossible!
She wanted to block their life.
"Where is Lord Wang now?"
"I heard that you are ready to go back, miss, what do you want to do?"
Li Qingwan certainly wanted to make sure that Lord Wang couldn't help Sima Yue and his mother, "Go find out where he is and arrange a meeting!"
"You want to meet the Sima family's uncle?"
"Stop talking nonsense and do it!"
After thinking about all this last night, Li Qingwan prepared to take a carriage into the palace, but she didn't expect that as soon as she left the Li Mansion, she saw a carriage parked at her residence.
And the person driving the carriage was actually Nanny Zhang.
"Miss, could it be..."
"Madam, the old lady wants to see you!"
Nanny Zhang got off the carriage in a weird tone, and Madam Sima also opened the curtain inside the carriage and looked at her with a complicated expression, "Li Qingwan, what a magnificent mansion!"
These were all the houses she bought with their help. Whenever she thought of this, Old Madam Sima got so angry that she had a headache. But she knew that being angry was useless and she still had to do something practical.
"So it's Madam Sima. What brings you to my humble abode?"
Old Madam Sima walked down slowly with the support of Nanny Zhang. After that, she wanted to go into Li's mansion to see how luxurious it was!
"Wouldn't you please invite me in and have a seat? Even though you are no longer a member of the Sima family and I am no longer your mother-in-law, I am still your elder, right?"
Li Qingwan didn't expect that she had the nerve to come and see her. She wanted to go into the yard and sit for a while, but it was not necessary, right?
"I have to go out to do some work. If Madam Sima doesn't mind, then you can wait for me here. When I'm done, I'll invite you into the mansion for a cup of tea. What do you think?"
"Li Qingwan, don't go too far!"
Nanny Zhang didn't expect that Li Qingwan would not give the old lady any face at all. She is so bold!
"Am I going too far?"
When Li Qingwan thought of the dowry that Madam Su had just sent, she felt hatred in her heart. She turned her head and glanced at the old woman in front of her, "It's hard to prevent thieves at home. The old lady knows what she did. You are a thief, why do you deserve respect from others?"
"What did you say? When did I steal your things? Li Qingwan, don't be so presumptuous. Do you really think that those people in my Sima family are vegetarians?"
"The Sima family is very large, but so what? Who would care about you two scumbag mother and son? Who would be afraid of you, an orphan and a widow?"
"you……"
Old Madam Sima was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She never thought that this woman would dare to mock her like this?
"I still have things to do, please go ahead!"
After saying that, she got on the carriage and prepared to leave. Madam Sima was also very angry and scolded her coldly, "You vicious woman, you went out to find a wild man behind A Yue's back. Now you can't hide it, right?"
Wild man?
Li Qingwan was not intimidated and turned around and started to talk back, "I'm getting married in a few days, I don't mind you coming to drink a glass of wedding wine!"
"What did you say? You're getting married again, Li Qingwan. You said our A Yue has wronged you. So what? Have you kept your virtue as a woman?"
Faced with Madam Sima's questioning, Li Qingwan was too lazy to pay attention to her. After she left, Madam Sima was already extremely angry.
"Look how arrogant she is, just look at that!"
"Old lady, calm down. She's gone. What should we do now?"
"Humph, does she think she can stand firm by setting up her own business? Impossible. I won't let her do as she wishes!"
"Madam, what do you mean?"
"This house will belong to me sooner or later!"
Three o'clock in the morning, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse!
When Li Qingwan arrived outside the palace, coincidentally, Lou Yixiao was also leaving the palace, and the two met at the palace gate.
"Miss, Nanasefangzu!"
Seeing Lou Yixiao leaving the palace, Li Qingwan immediately got off the carriage to stop him from leaving, "Master, please stay!"
Lou Yixiao was sitting in the sedan chair. When he heard someone calling him, he lifted the curtain. When he saw it was Li Qingwan, he immediately got off the sedan chair and said, "Madam, why are you here in the palace so late at night?"
"I'm here to discuss the Japanese competition with the abbot!"
"My lady, you..."
"I have divorced Sima Yue!"
Lou Yixiao was not too surprised to see this. After all, with the Regent around, it was only a matter of time before anyone dared to covet her woman!
"I see. Congratulations, Miss Li."
"Master, regarding the competition in three days..."
"Did you get the message?"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Lou Yixiao looked at her with a complicated expression, "Forget it, just follow me!"
Lou Yixiao brought her to a prosperous restaurant in the city. The second floor was filled with the aroma of tea, and it felt very comfortable.
"Have tea!"
"Thank you!"
Li Qingwan did not dare to underestimate this game. If she lost, it would be a shame for the court, so she had to win no matter what!
"I wonder what Miss Li thinks. Are you confident about this competition?"
When Li Qingwan told Lou Yixiao that she and Madam Su wanted to cooperate, Lou Yixiao naturally found it incredible, "What, you want to cooperate with her in the competition, have you forgotten how she humiliated you in the palace that day?"
"I didn't forget!"
"In that case, why do you still..."
"Now we should put aside our personal grudges and unite against the outside world. What do you think?"
Hearing her words, Lou Yixiao felt that Li Qingwan in front of him was indeed different from other women. He admired her tenacity, fortitude, and adaptability.
Naturally, he still admired her abilities. In his opinion, those Japanese people were nothing to be afraid of!
"how do you want to do it?"
Li Qingwan smiled and said, "Madam Su and I will participate in the competition together. Together we will make a fabric that can represent the imperial court and destroy the Japanese's prestige!"
"You guys are competing together?"
Lou Yixiao frowned, "Aren't you afraid that Madam Su will do something to make you lose your position? Li Qingwan, I admire your courage, but you have to know that this is a competition between two countries and there is no room for negligence. If Madam Su intends to harm you, you will lose face!"
"I believe Madam Su would not do such a thing that would harm others and not benefit herself. Moreover, the reason why she wants to participate in the competition and defeat the Japanese is to win face for herself. The Japanese have stolen a lot of our skills over the years and improved them back. They have no shame in saying that they weave the fabrics. Master, the thieves steal so many things that they think those things are their own. Now they are still slandering our traditional fabrics. How would you feel when you hear these words?"
She is a very patriotic person. In her opinion, there is no home without a country, so she will give her all in this competition!
Lou Yixiao looked at her with a complicated expression. It was hard for him to imagine that a woman could be so enlightened. However, he was very curious. "Ms. Li, what kind of fabric are you going to make to represent the court?"
