Chapter 110: Chapter 111: As Long as I Like It
Old Madam Shao took a deep breath, striving to suppress the ire within as she spoke, “Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion has already learned of your survival, it’s best you hurry back, stop causing trouble!”
“Old Madam Chu has already approached me, Shao Zhengru is about to be promoted, and Shao Mingyang is soon to enter the official ranks. At this time, you absolutely must not offend Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion, do you understand!”
Hearing this, Shao He’s tone remained very calm as she said, “I don’t know anything.”
“It didn’t matter before if you didn’t know, but now that you do, hurry back to Marquis Pingnan’s Mansion and properly assume your role as the lady of the marquis mansion without causing any more trouble for the Shao Family.” Old Madam Shao glared at her fiercely, she would not have come to see this granddaughter herself if it weren’t for Old Madam Chu’s intervention.
She did not care whether Shao He lived or died, she only cared about the future of the Shao Family.
Shao He suddenly laughed, crossing her arms as she said, “What do I have to do with the Shao Family? Whether the Shao Family lives or dies has nothing to do with me. If it’s nothing important please step aside; don’t block my way.”
Old Madam Shao raised her hand and was about to strike her, when suddenly a voice of reprimand came from beside her.
“Stop!”
Pei Huaian, wearing his mask again, came to Shao He’s side, his dark eyes glaring displeasure at Old Madam Shao.
Seeing Pei Huaian alighting from the carriage, Old Madam Shao’s fury intensified, “So this is your lover? And he’s a cripple?”
Shao He’s expression slightly changed, and she coldly retorted, “Yes, he is my man now, what of it if he’s a cripple? I like him and that’s enough!”
Pei Huaian’s eyes betrayed his shock, his heart began to beat faster, and he was stunned for quite some time, unable to snap out of it.
She… actually said she liked him?

Old Madam Shao was so angry she almost spat blood, pointing at Shao He’s nose as she cursed, “You’re absolutely mad!”
She could never have imagined Shao He would choose a cripple, it was utterly preposterous!
“Chu Yu also knows about this, why bother getting angry?”
Shao He snorted coldly, ignoring Old Madam Shao, and started pushing Pei Huaian away.
“Wait!”
Shaking all over with rage, Old Madam Shao pointed sternly at Shao He, “You’re a curse, displaying such disgraceful behavior in the streets, come back with me at once!”
“If you’ve come all this way to find me, what exactly is it for? It’s better to just speak plainly,” Shao He coldly regarded her.
“And you still ask me what it’s for? Look at what you’ve done! How did I raise you? How could you disgrace our family’s name like this?”
Upon hearing this, Shao He’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “You are mistaken there. When I was in trouble, I once sent a message to the Shao Family. I still remember the reply from the family; it said the lady of the marquis mansion had died.”
Fury made Old Madam Shao’s chest heave violently, and she gritted her teeth as she said, “You dare threaten me!”
“I wouldn’t dare, I am merely stating the facts. Please, Old Madam, avoid disturbing me in the future,” Shao He appeared innocently well-behaved.
Pei Huaian gently took her hand, his gaze adoring as he looked at her, seemingly quite pleased with her handling of the situation.
Seeing the two display their affection, Old Madam Shao was so enraged she nearly vomited blood, and she glared fiercely at Shao He, yelling, “Shao He, you…”
“Let’s go,” Shao He said with a slight smile to the person in the wheelchair, pushing him into the yard and closing the big gate.
Old Madam Shao, feeling furious and stifled, struggled to breathe.
Inside the yard, Shao He, looking at his cool eyes, felt somewhat embarrassed about what she’d said earlier, and immediately explained, “Don’t misunderstand; I had no other intention. I said what I said earlier just to anger Old Madam Shao.”
“Aren’t you afraid that Old Madam Shao might get actually sick from anger?” Pei Huaian was not sympathetic to Old Madam Shao, but he was concerned that if something happened to her, trouble would inevitably find Shao He.
Shao He raised an eyebrow and said, “Grandmother has always pretended to be ill in front of her children; she has medicine prepared and won’t come to any harm.”
That’s precisely why she spoke without restraint, not caring if Old Madam Shao might actually fall ill, as long as it wasn’t fatal.
She hated complications, yet now they seemed to follow her one after another.
Seeing this, Pei Huaian honestly said, “Acting in this way certainly helps avoid many unnecessary troubles, I am willing to cooperate with Doctor Shao.”
This surprised Shao He somewhat, it was her first time seeing someone so pleased to be used.
Pei Huaian, unaware of her thoughts, glanced through the crack at the door, “Old Madam probably hasn’t left yet; since the play must be performed in full, may I go and see the child?”
At this point, she had no reason to refuse; after all, he had helped her so much, and now he was even participating in her act, it was reasonable to not let him leave.
“Yes, let’s go,” Shao He said as she pushed Pei Huaian towards the children’s room.
Just as Nanny Zhang brought in some goat’s milk, she immediately bowed upon seeing the two, “Miss, Young Master Pei.”
“Feeding Xiao Linzhang?” Pei Huaian noticed the items on her tray and asked.
Nanny Zhang smiled and answered, “Exactly.”
“I’ll do it,” Pei Huaian offered, taking over, which left Nanny Zhang at a loss, she looked up at Shao He behind him.
“You know how to feed a baby?” In Shao He’s understanding, how could a man possibly feed a child, especially in this male-dominant era, it was a rare sight indeed.
