Li Xianglu trembled all over, angered by the words that had been said. How could her own flesh and blood speak such venomous words?
Mr. Li saw his granddaughter was quite upset, helped her onto the kang bed, and Qin Xi brought over a bowl of hot water for her.
Li Xianglu took a sip; it was sweet. She drank half the bowl in one breath, which immediately made her feel much better.
Qin Xi smiled gently at her side. This girl loved sweet things; she couldn't walk past sweets and even liked to add sugar to her porridge.
Mr. Li sighed and said, "We might as well return to the county."
Li Xianglu raised her eyebrows, hesitating.
But Qin Xi shook her head and said, "Grandpa Li, actually, Li Erfu's house is nothing to worry about. Now that Xiao Xiang has been adopted out, it can no longer be changed anywhere we go. Even if they cause a scene, what could they do? After a few days, have someone call Li Dafu to the county to have a good talk. I believe he will handle things well."
