Chapter 567: Chapter 571 Blocking the Door_1
"Once you give birth to the little thing, I’ll send you to stay with Duo’er’s family for a while," Qin Longyun An comforted her.
Chen Yiling sighed, feeling her liberation was still an eternity away.
After chatting with Chen Yiling for a while longer, Qiao Duo’er took her leave.
She had to get to Deji Hall, or she would miss another appointment.
As Qiao Duo’er walked toward Deji Hall, she prayed that Li Mu’er wouldn’t be there.
She just wanted to get things done smoothly.
Today, it seemed all the deities were away on business, and no one made Qiao Duo’er’s wishes come true.
Not only was Bai Yifan absent, but Li Mu’er, having been left behind, was brewing a bellyful of rage and had nowhere to vent it.
She had tried hard to learn to be a virtuous and moral woman and had even picked up needlework, which she had never touched before.
She felt wronged to death, yet Bai Yifan still didn’t look at her properly.
All because of Qiao Duo’er!
If it weren’t for her, Bai Yifan would certainly have married her.
Li Mu’er had her maid place a stool to block the doorway, her beautiful eyes filled with hostility.
Last time she hadn’t managed to get at Qiao Duo’er, and now she dared to come of her own accord—wasn’t that courting death?
Li Mu’er snorted lightly, "You’re here looking for Brother Fan?"
"Hmm," Qiao Duo’er pursed her lips. She really wanted to crack open Li Mu’er’s head to see what was inside.
She had been married for a long time and had no feelings for Bai Yifan, okay?
It was so ridiculous to be picking a quarrel with her!
"Miss Li, Mrs. Tan is our guest at Deji Hall. She buys medicine from us every month. Please let her in quickly," the store manager hurried over to mediate. If Mrs. Tan felt slighted, his days ahead would not be easy.
Others might not know, but he was well aware of the young master’s sentiments.
As for Miss Li, her family’s status was too significant to offend, or he would be doomed by just one word from her.
Ah, being the store manager was indeed tough!
"The Bai family won’t sell her any medicinal materials! Tell me how much she pays you each month, and I’ll pay you tenfold, no, a hundredfold!" Li Mu’er said disdainfully. The Li family was a dynasty of imperial merchants, her eldest brother had become an advanced scholar, and now he held a fourth rank official position. Would she care about the petty money of a love rival?
She didn’t even want this Deji Hall anymore!
That would spare her from seeing Bai Yifan spending all his time on those sick people and having no time for her.
Ha! As if she didn’t know Qiao Duo’er’s intentions!
Qiao Duo’er just wanted to use buying medicine as an excuse to seduce Bai Yifan!
Simply shameless!
"If you give Deji Hall silver, it’s just moving money from your left hand to your right. Why bother?" Qiao Duo’er reminded her. If Li Mu’er truly wanted to marry Bai Yifan, wasn’t she tarnishing her own family’s reputation by blocking the door?
After all, it wasn’t just her being blocked out.
The store manager quickly agreed, "Mrs. Tan makes a good point. Miss Li, please step aside."
"Don’t think I don’t know you’re mocking me. You might speak nicely, but the thoughts in your hearts are filthy," Li Mu’er rolled her eyes and then said to her maids, "You all watch the door closely. If there’s any slip-up, I’ll sell you off!"
The two maids immediately did as told, blocking the entrance securely.
Qiao Duo’er felt helpless. If she were Bai Yifan, she definitely wouldn’t marry Li Mu’er either.
Because what if the child’s IQ turned out like the mother’s? Wouldn’t that be a crying shame?
But today, she had to find Bai Yifan, not only to discuss investing in Duo Meifang but also to inquire about musk.
