After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 70 Foolish Li Xiao 4

The day was sunny and breezy. After enjoying her second son's melon with satisfaction, Jiang Mianmian leisurely returned to her own courtyard.

Not long after stepping into the courtyard, they saw Li Tingxue smilingly carrying her adorable granddaughter, Xiao Le'an, as she walked in. Behind her followed a man, the fourth son of Old Master Li—Prefect Li.

"Le'an, do you miss Grandma?" Li Tingxue asked in a flattering tone, waving Le'an's little hand at Jiang Mianmian: "Yes, Le'an misses Grandma!"

When Jiang Mianmian saw Xiao Le'an, her face immediately lit up with a smile. She quickly walked over, carefully took Xiao Le'an from Li Tingxue's arms, and affectionately kissed her rosy cheek.

"Oh my, my sweet granddaughter, are you missing Grandma? Oh my, Grandma's little darling, Grandma misses you too!"

Jiang Mianmian happily teased the little Le'an in her arms, then quickly looked at Li Tingxue with a puzzled look, raised her eyebrows and asked softly, "Tingxue, what do you mean by bringing the fourth child here?"

Upon hearing this, Li Tingxue chuckled and looked at Jiang Mianmian with an instant fawning expression. Of course, she wanted something from her!

With a beaming smile, Li Tingxue leaned closer to Jiang Mianmian and whispered, "Oh, Mother, look, Xiao Le'an hasn't seen you all day and keeps crying because he must be longing to see you, so I brought them along to see you."

Well, my younger brother has been missing his niece these past few days, so he came to stay at our Marquis's residence for a few days. That's why I brought him along to see you!

As she spoke, she secretly gave a wink to Prefect Li beside her.

After receiving a look from his sister, Prefect Li quickly gave Jiang Mianmian a standard junior's salute. He had to be quick because his older sister was too fierce, and he was afraid he would get beaten up if he was slow.

Jiang Mianmian, observing the siblings' similar expressions, immediately understood. The slight embarrassment on Li Tingxue's face just now indicated that Prefect Li's visit to the Marquis's residence was definitely for something.

However, she didn't intend to ask any further questions; she wouldn't meddle in the affairs of other siblings.

Jiang Mianmian glanced at Li Xiaosi and muttered to herself, speechless:

[Haha! This fourth son of the Li family is really... indescribable! This guy is a die-hard fan of Meng Yuheng, isn't he? He's been completely fooled, and he's even grateful to the person who did it!]

She was now absolutely certain that Prefect Li was definitely Li Chuan's son! His stubbornness—once he made up his mind about something, he believed it to the very end—was exactly like his father's!

【Hey hey hey...】

Thinking of this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Prefect Li, his face full of indignation, glared at his opponent, protesting, "I'm not a complete fool! Brother Meng used to always praise my exceptional intelligence..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a sharp "smack" rang out, and he received a solid slap on the head.

Ouch, that hurts!

His older sister really went all out this time. Goodness, she seems to be getting more and more violent. I don't know how her husband can stand it.

At that moment, Prefect Li felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and he almost flew away from the sudden slap, which showed how hard his older sister had hit him. His head was still throbbing with pain.

The instigator, Li Tingxue, after beating her younger brother, turned to her mother-in-law with a helpless expression and complained, "Alas, what a misfortune for our family! I'm too ashamed to tell you what he did!"

"Mother, you have no idea! This guy is so infuriating! Even now, he still defends Meng Yuheng, saying that we all misunderstood his Brother Meng, and insists that the man surnamed Meng is a great person and his savior."

What's even more outrageous is that he actually told my father that Meng Yuheng was already his godson, so wouldn't it be even closer to him if he adopted him as his biological son?

Saying things like "it would be even better to have another son" – you tell me, wasn't he just adding fuel to the fire? As a result, my dad fainted on the spot from anger.

Xingzhou had no choice but to send him to me for a couple of days to avoid upsetting my father and causing him any more trouble. Tell me, doesn't this silly boy deserve a beating for what he did?

Wow! This kid's really something else! He actually managed to make his father-in-law faint from anger. He's quite the character!

[What a tragedy! If I were that father-in-law, the first thing I'd do upon waking would be to strangle him. After all, keeping this unfortunate child, who's become so filial, is just a waste of the family's food.]

Having just recovered from the pain, Prefect Li felt a surge of dissatisfaction when he heard Jiang Mianmian scold him like that.

But because of his older sister's fighting prowess, he could only reluctantly purse his lips, turn his head and let out a soft hum, not daring to retaliate at all.

Jiang Mianmian glanced at the back of Prefect Li's head, gently shook her head, and silently lit a candle for her father-in-law to express her deep sympathy for him.

[Hmph, if you ask me, this Li Xiaosi is a complete idiot. Not only did they steal his father, but they also ruthlessly drove away his mother, and even tried to rob all of his family's possessions.]

But he, on the contrary, not only turned a blind eye to this, but also treated that man surnamed Meng as a good person and a benefactor.

What's even more outrageous is that, to this day, that idiot Li Xiaosi is still willingly supporting that guy surnamed Meng's extravagant lifestyle. Tell me, is this idiot just incredibly stupid?

But even with his foolishly devoted efforts, he still didn't have a good ending. By the time of the finale, he was utterly miserable... oh dear, so pitiful!

what?

The Li siblings were both shocked to hear this.

Especially Prefect Li, whose eyes widened in disbelief.

Brother Meng... actually wanted to kick my mother out of the house, and even tried to seize our family's property...

This...how is this possible?

Wait a minute, just now, my mother-in-law was saying that someone was supporting Meng Yuheng so he could live a life of luxury outside. Could it be...?

Thinking of this, Li Tingxue's eyes widened even more. She looked at her younger brother with suspicion, and asked with a hint of uncertainty:

"Li Xiaosi, tell me the truth! Do you know where that bastard Meng Yuheng is hiding?"

"Big sister, how can you insult Brother Meng like that?" Prefect Li said reluctantly, his face showing displeasure.

Damn it, at this moment, she didn't just want to curse, she wanted to hit someone!!!

"Enough with the nonsense! I'll only ask you one question: did you hide that Meng guy?" Li Tingxue asked angrily, her voice growing increasingly sharp.

Faced with his elder sister's wolf-like gaze, Prefect Li couldn't help but shudder and involuntarily shrink back.

He dared not look Li Tingxue in the eye, his gaze darting around, and he stammered, "No...no, it really...it wasn't me? I absolutely didn't hide him in our family's estate..."

However, before Prefect Li could finish speaking, Li Tingxue rushed over, grabbed his collar tightly with both hands, and ruthlessly pressed him to the ground.

At the same time, she immediately raised her hand high and slapped Li Zhizhou hard across the head, cursing as she did so.

"You stupid, dull-witted idiot! No wonder we've been searching for so long without finding him. It turns out it was you, you heartless blockhead, who secretly hid him in our own village!"

Li Tingxue glared angrily at the idiot in front of her and cursed, "I told you to hide, I told you to hide! I'll skin you alive today, and if I don't beat you until you're crying for your parents, I'll change my surname to yours!"

You idiot, your brain is full of mush, yet you have a spleen, stomach, and kidneys. You only know how to eat, drink, and have fun, and you do absolutely nothing. You stupid fool who doesn't even realize it. I'll beat you to death today..."

Li Tingxue kept swinging her fists, ruthlessly attacking Prefect Li.

"Ah...oh...it hurts so much...help! Big sister, have mercy..." Prefect Li screamed and cried as he was beaten, covering his head and running away while shouting at the top of his lungs, "Big sister...what are you doing? What's wrong with you...hitting me...help me..."

"Why did you hit me for no reason? Are you crazy?! Ouch! Help me!"

Li Zhizhou dodged left and right, but he still couldn't avoid Li Tingxue's fists. She punched him wildly, and he had already taken more than ten blows, making him grimace in pain.

"...Ouch...it hurts so much...Brother-in-law...come quick and save me...Waaah...if you don't come soon, your wife is going to beat me to death..."

Prefect Li, with tears streaming down his face, pleaded desperately with Shen Xiuyan, who stood by coldly watching from the sidelines.

Although Shen Xiuyan was also startled by his wife's sudden outburst and actions, and his anus tightened in fright, he quickly regained his composure. He hadn't done anything wrong, so he had nothing to be afraid of and immediately stood up straight.

However, he not only did not try to stop his wife's anger and extreme behavior, but also expressed his deep understanding.

He thought to himself: If Li Xiaosi were his own brother, he would probably be even more ruthless than his wife. He would need to use a different rolling pin. But this brat deserves a lesson. He brought this on himself and deserves a good beating!

This Li Xiaosi is utterly foolish. Is his head filled with nothing but mush and shit? Even now, he still stubbornly sides with Meng Yuheng. His bizarre thought process is truly baffling.

If it weren't for the fact that he and his father-in-law looked exactly alike, he would have suspected that he had been switched at birth. But the siblings in the Li family are all quite shrewd!

Why is he the only one who seems like an idiot? Did his sister-in-law steal his intelligence when his mother-in-law was pregnant with twins?

Just then, a familiar voice rang out:

[Heng is indeed quite loyal, but I wonder what he would think if he knew that Meng Yuheng's so-called life-saving grace was all a lie?]
