Chapter 225 Tang Li Confronts A Bunch of Loudmouthed Women
Ouyang Yi did not expect to meet Tang Li here. He was extremely happy.
“Tang Li, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
After saying that, he greeted Mrs. Guo, “Hello, Mrs. Guo.”
Tang Li was introduced to Mrs. Guo by Ouyang Yi. They were obviously very familiar with each other.
When Mrs. Guo saw Ouyang Yi, she couldn’t help but smile. She asked, “What brought Mr. Ouyang here today?” “I’m looking for someone.”
At this point, Ouyang Yi smiled at Tang Li and said, “Tang Li, I’ve already passed my second choice exam. I’ll be going on a mission in a few days. If my performance is good, I’ll be able to become an official soon. Thank you for your suggestion that day.”
Tang Li was the crush of his youth. Although he knew that he had no chance, he was still very happy to see her and wanted to share his joy with her.
Tang Li nodded and said, “Good luck.”
“Okay.”
Ouyang Yi was obviously very busy. After saying that, he said, “I’ll have to go first.”
After Tang Li and Mrs. Guo nodded, he left.
Tang Li and Mrs. Guo continued to walk toward the door. As they walked, Mrs. Guo said, “Ouyang is the most approachable person I’ve ever seen. Actually, with his family background, it’s very easy for him to get a good position. However, he is very ambitious and insists on working hard.”
“Isn’t that great?”
Tang Li recalled that the Host was Ouyang Yi’s crush. Later on, in order to help her, Ouyang Yi used his background to compete with Qi Yihan for the first time. Actually, with Ouyang Yi’s background, Qi Yihan was indeed no match for him. However, in the end, the Host did something to break Ouyang Yi’s heart, which led him to take on one of the most dangerous missions in this country.
Of course, what happened to Ouyang Yi in the end was not written in this book.
After Tang Li returned, she specially looked into the villages on the southern border.
Only then did she realize that some of the villages were actually situated within the territory of the neighboring country.
However, Tang Li was not worried about that. For the next two days, she stayed in the fourth villa to cook the herbs.
The smell of herbs wafted everywhere, making the relatives who were still in the main house speculate. “The smell of herbs in Fourth Master’s vilka is so strong. Is it because Tang Li is infertile so that she’s using some secret prescription to help her get pregnant?”
“That must be it. The Madam from Fourth Master’s family used to have a lot of gigolos. She must have damaged her body in the last few years and now can’t get pregnant.”
“If I were Fourth Uncle, I wouldn’t want this woman anymore.”
“Madam, why don’t you go out and lecture those loudmouthed women. They’re always talking bad about you behind your back.”
Fourth villa was managed by Butler Yang. When Butler Zhang had time, he especially liked listening to gossip. Whenever he heard people saying something bad about his madam, he would get furious and wanted to go over and argue with those people.
However, he was just a small assistant butler. If he really went to reason with them, he would be criticized by the masters. So, he could only suck it up and told Tang Li about
Tang Li was putting a herb into the boiling pot and said disapprovingly, “These people probably have nothing to do all day, that’s why they like to gossip behind people’s backs.”
With that, she thought for a moment and asked Butler Yang, “Butler Yang, do we have any particularly thick books in the Qi Mansion? It’d be best if they’re scriptures.

“Madam, the scriptures you mentioned are in the ancestral hall.” Butler Yang obviously guessed what Tang Li wanted to do and suggested, “It’s better to make them copy the Qi family’s teachings than the scriptures. The Qi family’s teachings are divided into three volumes, each containing four to five hundred pages.”
“Is that so? I’ll have my lunch today at the main house.”
Most of the people who stayed in the Qi family were female. Their main goal was to find out what was happening to the main family. After all, Qi Yihan said that he would rest for a month. When Qi Yihan was away, the three masters would definitely make a big move. If they stayed here, they would be able to get first-hand information and at that time, they would be able to get benefits for their family.
However, staying in the Qi Mansion was also very boring. When one was bored, they would gossip.
Coincidentally, First Master and Tang Li happened to be the best source of gossip. On the way to the main house for lunch, people were discussing in low voices.
“Did you guys hear that? First Master’s illegitimate son has been in a terrible state these past two days. He was beaten by First Madam and her nephews and nieces. Also, First Madam doesn’t let the doctor treat him at all.”
“He asked for it. Colluding with outsiders to kidnap Miss Lucia at that kind of occasion is the stupidest thing you can possibly do.”
“Your news is outdated.” Another person interrupted. “First Madam’s house was haunted last night and she was terrified. She’s not in the mood to care about that illegitimate
son.”
Tang Li happened to hear that.
Butler Zhang had told her this morning that First Madam saw the female ghost again, but First Madam kept saying that it was Qi Lingxuan.
At this moment, this person continued, “I heard from the servants working in the First Madam’s house that First Madam and her children said that the ghost was Qi Lingxuan in disguise.”
“So is it true or not?”
“Definitely not. That illegitimate son can’t even get out of bed now. The people who look after him have been watching him. How can he possibly get out of bed and scare people?”
“That’s right. Is their house really haunted?”
“Who knows?”
“Didn’t they say that Fourth Madam is a fortune-teller? Why didn’t First Madam ask her to take a look?”
“Pfft… Why in the world would you believe that kind of crap? If Fourth Master was really a fortune-teller, why would she make that kind of herbs for herself?”
“What kind of herbs?”
The sudden voice surprised the women who were talking enthusiastically. They turned around at the same time to look at Tang Li, who was walking behind them. Their hearts skipped a beat as they wondered how much Tang Li had heard their conversation.
“Humph!” Tang Li snorted and said with a solemn face, “I think you guys are too bored staying in the Qi Mansion for the entire day. If you’re too bored, I’ll find something for you to do. Otherwise, you’ll forget the rules of the Qi family.”

When they heard this, they were indignant. One of them said straightforwardly, “We’ve been married into the Qi family for more than ten to twenty years. Don’t we know the rules of the Qi family? What makes you think we need you to tell us the rules. How long have you been in this family? One year?”
“It seems like this sister-in-law is still not convinced?” Tang Li narrowed her eyes and sneered. “Since you say that you know the rules of the Qi family, it just so happens that I’ve decided to learn the rules of the Qi family. Sisters, tell me the rules of the Qi family one by one… If you’re wrong, then I’ll have to make you copy to enhance the memory.”
“Tang Li, how dare you make us do that?”
“Because I’m the Madam of the Qi family. You’ve been talking about me behind my back for so long. Are you telling me I don’t have the right to make you copy the Qi family’s
