Chapter 163 Second Madam Was Trying to Get Tang Li to Go Back
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Being interrupted twice while watching this kind of thing, Tang Li patted her chest and decided not to watch it anymore. If she did this a few more times, she would definitely suffer a heart attack.
It was from Tang Zitong. The girl knew that Tang Li didn’t normally check her phone, but she couldn’t stop herself from calling or texting Tang Li whenever she wanted to.
In her words, if she was lucky, the phone would be in Tang Li’s hand.
She was clearly in luck today.
Tang Li swiped to answer the call. Tang Zitong was stunned for two seconds before she shouted excitedly, “Oh my god! I’m so lucky. I can’t believe you picked up my call right away.”
Tang Li raised her hand and fiddled with a leaf on a medicinal herb. She looked into the distance and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Well…” Unexpectedly, she suddenly started to stutter. After a while, she took a deep breath and said quickly, “Actually, Ziqing didn’t want me to tell you about this, but I thought I’d better tell you since you can
probably help her.”
“Is she being harassed again?”
“Eh, you know?”
“She told me about it.”
“Oh… then she definitely didn’t tell you about her injury last night, right?”
“No.”
Tang Li knew from the Host’s memory that Su Ziqing had learnt kung fu since she was young and was very good at it. To injure her, the attacker must be very capable.
Tang Li asked, “Is her injury serious?”
She then decided to call her personally to ask. “I’ll hang up and give her a call.”
“Hey! Wait,” Tang Zitong quickly stopped her and asked, “Fourth Sister, Sister Meng seems to be conscious now. Can I take her out? She’s been in the countryside and probably hasn’t been anywhere. I want to show her
around the city.”
Tang Li knew that she was doing this out of kindness, but she stopped her. “Yu Meng’s illness has not been fully treated. If you take her out now, you won’t be able to control her if her illness relapses.
“But sometimes there’s no one at home. I’m worried she’ll be scared to be alone at home.”
It was impossible for anyone in the Tang family to stay at home all day. Even if the two madams were full-time housewives, they still had to go out and socialize.
The twins were still studying.
The Tang family was traditionally a music family. Although they had been focusing on real estate, they still kept the workshop and shop. Tang Zitong loved instruments since she was young and took the initiative to
take over the workshop when she was little, so she couldn’t stay at home every day.
Tang Li said, “If you want to go to the workshop, you can take her with you. In short, don’t take her to crowded places.”
Tang Zitong knew what to do now. “Okay, I’ll take her to the workshop later. Besides some craftsmen, there aren’t many people. She shouldn’t be ok.”
“Yeah.”
After the two of them hung up, Tang Li found Su Ziqing’s number and called her.
Su Ziqing took a few seconds to answer the call. She obviously knew why Tang Li called her. “Cousin, did you call me because Zitong told you something?”
Tang Li did not answer her question and asked, “Does that guy who harassed you have a powerful family?”
“Sort of.” Su Ziqing didn’t conceal anything, “His family is probably from the underworld.”
Her voice was clearly calm, but there was a hint of ruthlessness. “I am looking for evidence. A family like that must have done a lot of illegal things. As long as I find evidence, I’ll send him and those people to jail.”
Tang Li frowned. “It’s very dangerous for you to do it alone.”
“Cousin, you underestimate me.” Su Ziqing’s tone was filled with confidence. “Nothing can stop me doing what I want to do.”
Tang Li knew that her cousin had always been opinionated since she was young. It was useless to persuade her. Besides, the Host had always supported her to do whatever she wanted. She said, “Then be careful. If you
run into any trouble, you can tell me and I’ll come to help you out.”
Su Ziqing laughed on the other end of the line. After laughing, she asked, “Cousin, looks like you’ve really learned a lot from your husband. If I really run into a problem that I can’t deal with, I’ll look for you.”
She then said, “I’m gonna have a class soon, gotta go.”
Then, she hung up.
Looking at the phone, Tang Li suddenly felt that her cousin was treating her strangely. She didn’t feel that her cousin was malicious, but she felt that something was wrong.
However, she was no longer in the mood to continue watching those videos. She sat on the reclining chair and whiled away the time.
However, her idle time was very short. Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
Tang Li put the herbs away and walked over to open the door.
Butler Zhang was standing outside the door.
Butler Zhang told her, “Madam, just now, Butler Wang came over and asked me to tell you that madams asked you to make a trip back. They said that it’s going to be the worshiping day for the Qi family’s ancestors
soon, and they want you to go back and give them a hand.”
There was indeed such a custom in rich and powerful families. Not only did the madams have to prepare sacrificial offerings, but the distant relatives of the Qi family would also come back to pay their respects.
However, after Tang Li married Qi Yihan, she had never taken this day seriously. The Host did not treat herself as a member of the Qi family, and Qi Yihan did not treat her as his wife. All she did during the traditional
days was just show up.
She thought for a while and decided to ask Butler Wang first.
The worshiping day was supposed to be canceled this year because the old master was still in the hospital. When the Qi family suddenly called to ask her to return, she couldn’t help but suspect that Second Madam
wanted to lure her back and then threaten her to get Qi Tiancheng out.
Tang Li found Butler Wang and asked, “Butler Wang, Father is in the hospital this year. Will the worshiping day be held as usual?”
Butler Wang was the chief butler of the Qi mansion, so he knew this the best.
Butler Wang told her, “It won’t be held this year, but you guys still have to go back and pay your respects. I’ve told Fourth Master about this. Fourth Master said he will go back with you on the worshiping day.”
“Since Yihan wants to go back with me on the worshiping day, why did I receive a call from Second Madam, asking me to go back in advance?”
Actually, Butler Wang knew what was going on. He was silent for a while before helplessly saying, “Fourth Madam, Second Master’s family is in a huge mess currently. Second Madam has been saying that she wants to
seek justice from Old Master. I’m worried that she will really think of ways to come over. When that happens, it will affect Old Master’s mood. I hope you can make a trip back to calm them down.”.
