Chapter 396 - Li Na Doesn't Want To Marry Lu Jianye

Li Manor
Inside her courtyard, Li Na was sitting on her bed with red eyes.
Her mother had just left her courtyard a few minutes ago and she had been told that a marriage proposal from Lu Manor has come for her.
"I won't marry him!"
Li Na threw away the vase lying on the bedside table in anger and shouted suddenly.
Her personal maidservant who had been standing silently in a corner with her head lowered trembled visibly.
At this moment, she wanted nothing but to get out of that room. However, she didn't know if her mistress would get angrier at her because of this and then punish her.
So she just stood there silently and tried to make her presence low as much as she could do.
Li Na panted for a few moments in anger and then closed her eyes suddenly while pressing her temple with her fingers.
It was difficult for her to do anything in this situation …especially when she had her father's eyes on herself all the time.
Li Na had been surrounded by Li Qiang's people since the moment he had got to know about his deeds. Not only this but he also warned her not to do anything stupid otherwise there will be consequences she won't like.
Li Na believed that her father could really do that so she was being very cautious.
But it didn't mean that she was just going to stay silent. She had plans …plans for the future. She was just waiting for the right moment …at least until her father lowers his guards down against her.
However, after coming to know of this marriage proposal, she was not going to sit silently any longer.
She was not going to become anyone's concubine.
"You… Come here."
She signed her maidservant to come closer.
The maid stepped forward with clear fear in her eyes …something that Li Na never noticed or perhaos she didn't care at all.
She instead threw a cup in her direction and said harshly
"Can't you increase your speed? I don't have the whole day to wait for you."
The maid trembled and hurriedly came to stand in front of her.
Li Na pulled the collar of the maid's dress and made her bend down. She whispered something in her ear and the maid her eyes wide with fear and shock after hearing her mistress' words.
When Li Na freed her collar, she straightened her body but her head was still lowered as she shook her head and said
"No, Young Miss. Young Miss should not do this. If Master came to know about Young Miss' Plan, then it would not be the best thing for Young Miss."
Li Na rolled her eyes when she heard her maid's words. Her heart, at the same time, was filled with anger.
'Did she not know this already?'
She couldn't help but pity herself as she said
"Even my maid is so stupid. You have lived with me for so many years yet you are still a fool."
She kicked the maid's leg with such a heavy force that the maid fell down on her knees with a screech.
Li Na glared at her and the maid hurriedly shut her mouth and cried silently because of the pain in her leg.
With an anger-filled heart, Li Na cursed her for a few minutes and finished her cursing just like many other times with the same thing.
"That b***h has such good maids who are loyal to her. One of them sacrificed herself to save her. And here I am …stuck here with such a stupid slave."
The maid of course understood who the 'b***h' in her mistress's mouth was. Hot tears streamed down her eyes.
She had actually always been loyal to Li Na and had always been ready to tend to her needs. However, she has never received the love, respect, and care that Elder Lady Li gave to her maids.
However, she could do nothing as a mere slave except for enduring everything silently.
She whimpered in pain when Li Na suddenly grabbed her chin in a very rough grip and said with a menacing glare
"Go and do as I had asked you to do otherwise you can't even imagine what will be the consequences of offending me. My Father will just put more people around me if he got to know about this…however you…you are always here to serve me. So don't think that you will be saved if you leaked anything to my father."
The maid was really afraid after hearing Li Na's words.
Trembling fiercely in fear, she nodded her head vigorously showing that she was accepting Li Na's order. Satisfied, Li Na too left the maid.
"Now go."
She said rudely and then laid down on her bed to have some rest.
Wiping her face with her hands, the maid got up from the ground and left the room silently to do what Li Na had asked her to do.

On the other hand, after leaving Li Na's courtyard, Li Rong went to meet Yi Jie in her courtyard.
Sitting inside her room, Yi Jie was embroidering something. She smiled as she looked at her work. It was a pair of very small socks and she was making it for her grandchild that was still inside her daughter's womb.
Yi Jie's eyes would always brighten with happiness whenever she would think about her grandson. The thing most to be happy about was that she was going to visit Xi Manor today to see Li Rui.
It was her first time to go to her daughter's husband's manor and she had made a lot of preparation for this day.
Yi Jie was very happy these days just because of this news and General Li was more than happy to see his wife happy.
"Madam made a very beautiful pair of socks."
Nanny Jiang who was standing beside Yi Jie said with a smile on her face. Yi Jie's smile widened at her words... especially when the nanny continued and said
"Young Miss will surely like them."
At this moment, the door of the room was knocked suddenly and she asked whoever was outside to enter the room.
It was a maid who told Yi Jie that Li Rong was standing outside the room and she wanted to meet her.
The smile on Yi Jie's lips faltered almost immediately.
She had not met Li Rong after she had come to know of Li Caihong and Li Na' deeds. She just didn't want to.
After knowing how overprotective Li Rong was over her children, she just didn't want to meet her and then have any kind of fight.
That's why, when she had come to know that Li Rong was sick, she didn't go to visit her and just sent a few things that would be helpful for him as a wish for her to get well soon.
However, she had not thought that Li Rong who had always been so arrogant and had not visited her by herself unless invited would suddenly visit her courtyard today.
