Quick Transmigration: The host is super good!
Chapter 46 The Maid Who Traveled Across Time 14
The system was frightened by her anger and quickly ran away. Chen Yuan took great pains to explain to Li Nanyue that he was not angry because she left with him.
But whether she really believed it or was just talking about it, only she herself knew.
Anyway, in the following time, Shen Yuan found that the little girl became more clingy. She would look at her from time to time during meals, and would still hold the corner of her clothes during naps.
Sad people...
After experiencing the bitter consequences of speaking without thinking for the first time, she decided to think carefully before speaking in the future.
Fortunately, after waking up, Li Nanyue returned to normal. Although he still stuck to her, he no longer looked at her with those pitiful eyes as if he was worried about being abandoned.
The little girl learned how to pick the door bolt, and she asked enthusiastically about the little tricks in the martial arts world. Chen Yuan told her some of the ones he had encountered in his previous life, and when she asked more questions, he even demonstrated them.
The relaxing and happy time didn't last long. Prime Minister Li returned home after work and sent someone to call her over. Li Nanyue's face turned pale.
She has complicated feelings towards her father. When she was young, she was raised by her grandmother in her hometown. Her cousins often showed off what new and interesting toys their parents bought for them, but she was the only one who didn't get any.
Later I found out that although he didn't have a mother, he still had a father, but he was busy with official duties and had no time to take care of her.
At first she believed it without a doubt and began to look forward to the Chinese New Year, because her grandmother said that her father would return to his hometown to worship his ancestors during the Chinese New Year.
But she waited and waited for several years before her father came home. But just as she was reminded that the elegant and handsome man was the father she had been waiting for for so long, before she had time to be happy, she saw him turn around and take out a girl who looked like him from the carriage.
Then she found out that it was her sister. At that moment, Li Nanyue's heart sank. She couldn't understand in her little mind why her father, who was so busy with official duties and had no time to take care of her, could still bring his sister with him?
It was not until she met her stepmother and younger brother and heard many people's words that she slowly understood why she was left behind in her hometown.
She felt wronged and wanted to cry, but she wanted to follow her father more, so she tried hard to be sensible and obedient, but in the end her father still did not take her away, saying that he wanted her to fulfill his filial duty to his grandfather on his behalf.
Her father came and went, taking his wife, his daughter, his son, and even his concubines, but not her.
Later she learned not to wait or expect anything, until her grandmother passed away and her father returned home for the funeral. After three years of mourning, she finally lived under the same roof with him, but they could no longer be close.
They were like strangers living together, being awkward and polite to each other. She coldly watched him smile at his sister, and hold his brother's hand to teach him how to write, without any ripple in her heart.
When she returned to Beijing with her father, the house was bigger and they were farther away from each other. She never took the initiative to get closer and her father seldom thought of her. What the alien soul said about her living like a transparent person in this house was not wrong.
But after all the trouble she had gone through, she was called in for questioning and felt complacent, thinking that she was valued, but Li Nanyue found it hard to agree with that.
She still remembered the look in her father's eyes as he looked at her, as if he was evaluating a piece of merchandise. Even though she was suppressed, she couldn't help but tremble.
On the way to the study, Li Nanyue thought a lot, but her face was extremely calm. She looked straight ahead and did not notice the maid leading the way. She occasionally glanced at her with sympathy in her eyes.
"Come in." Prime Minister Li's voice contained deliberately suppressed anger. The gatekeeper and the maid looked at each other with very nervous expressions.
At this point, Li Nanyan calmed down instead. She pushed the door open with a relaxed look on her face and bowed gently: "Greetings, father."
"You've done a good thing!" Prime Minister Li slapped the table. The elegant and handsome face in his memory suddenly frowned for some reason, and white hair quietly grew around his ears.
Li Nanyue raised her head for the first time and looked at her father boldly, and realized belatedly: he was old.
She looked neither humble nor arrogant, her back straight, not as ostentatious as the time-traveling girl, nor as timid as her former self: "I wonder what I have done to make you so angry?"
"Rebellious girl, how dare you ask?" Prime Minister Li was angered by her calm face. He picked up a teacup and threw it at her. Fortunately, he still had some sense and did not throw it at her face, but at her feet.
"Who allowed you to make up stories about your mother? Don't you understand the principle that everyone prospers together and everyone suffers together? What good will it do you if the Zhang family's reputation is ruined?"
To outsiders, he is in a high position and looks very glorious, but only a few people know that his position as prime minister is the result of a game between several parties and is actually not stable.
In the past few years, he has been walking on thin ice, carefully building relationships everywhere, just to secure the position of prime minister as soon as possible. The marriage of his children is naturally part of his calculations, and marriage is one of the best ways to consolidate relationships.
The other children have all married into good families and are just waiting to get married when they reach the age. Only the eldest daughter is in a dilemma.
If her family background was low, it would be of no benefit to him; if her family background was high, he might worry that her biological mother died early and it would be an obstacle, so he delayed the matter.
However, he did not expect that he had underestimated this eldest daughter. She actually attracted many sons of high-ranking families who were interested in her, which just solved his problem.
So after learning about this, he chose to indulge her and only warned her to be careful in her actions and not to go too far and cause any unpleasant things. As for the rumors outside, he did not care about them. When his daughter successfully married one of them, he would take action and say that she was just being envied.
But who would have known that although she looked smart, she was actually stupid, and she even said all sorts of nonsense to others, causing people outside to say that his wife looked kind but had a bitter heart.
She thought she had won by discrediting Zhang, but she didn't realize that while others were laughing at Zhang, they were also secretly saying that she was unfilial. How foolish!
It was during Prime Minister Li's scolding that Li Nanyue finally realized what had happened. She had never expected that a small action of hers would cause such a stir.
He couldn't help but show guilt on his face and felt very sorry for his stepmother. After all, she had been kind to him over the years and was actually more competent than his so-called father.
"My daughter will tell Mr. Yang the truth and ask him to come forward to explain."
"Do you think others will believe you if you explain?" Prime Minister Li laughed at her naivety. "Forget it, don't worry about it for now. Wait until the rumors die down. Then you can attend a few banquets with your wife and act more intimate. Then those people will stop spreading the rumors."
Li Nanyue couldn't think of any other solution, so she just nodded.
Seeing her so well-behaved and obedient, Prime Minister Li's anger finally dissipated a little: "Also, don't take Qiao too seriously. These guys are all good. Choose one of them and marry him as soon as possible."
Li Nanyan raised her head quickly.
