Princess Mingchang's face changed drastically, and her already bad mood became even worse. She smashed the cup beside her, cursed "waste" several times in a row, and panted and touched her chest while breathing heavily.
Aunt Zheng tried to persuade him, but she still said, "Your Highness, getting angry now will not help. You should think of a way to get them out as soon as possible. Their identities..."
If Cui Cheng and Cui Qi bring up Princess Mingchang this time, it will be useless even if Princess Mingchang suddenly suffers from a heart attack again.
It's useless! Princess Mingchang was so angry that her heart ached, but there was nothing she could do. As Aunt Zheng said, what other choice did she have at this time except to find a way to get the person out? Fortunately, it was a small place, so it was not a big deal to get the person out. She pressed her temples, suppressed her anger and ordered: "Go and call the boss."
Now the only one who can do some things at home is Master Li.
Master Li was still trying to calm his wife's anger. He knew she was angry, so he listened to her complaints with a bitter face, then sighed and shook his head, "No matter what, she is still my mother. It's useless for you to say so much. If she doesn't agree, our words about this marriage won't count."
Madam Li became even more angry and stood up suddenly: "Li Ruosong! Are you still a man?! Why don't we have the final say in our daughter's marriage?! In your whole life, you have to listen to your mother in everything. Everything is your mother, your mother, your mother. Now you can't even say anything about your child's marriage, right?! Your mother is your biological mother, so your daughter is not your biological daughter? Use your brain to think about what has happened to your family now. Do you really want to indulge her to continue to make trouble and break up this family!?"
Mr. Li was somewhat helpless and tried to coax Mrs. Li softly. Suddenly, someone outside said that Aunt Zheng had arrived.
He immediately winked at Madam Li, asking her to stop talking. When Aunt Zheng came in, he smiled and asked her, "Does mother have any instructions?"
Aunt Zheng glanced at Madam Li, smiled and nodded: "Your Highness has something to tell you, please come over."
Mr. Li did not dare to delay and quickly turned around and followed him out. Before leaving, he did not forget to nod apologetically to Mrs. Li.
The room was quiet again. Madam Li sat at the table in a daze for a while, until Li Jinniang's voice came in. She suddenly came to her senses and asked with a smile: "You're back? How was your shopping?"
Li Jinniang had a smile on her face. She didn't notice her mother's low mood and excitedly told her about what she had seen and heard today.
It had been a long time since she saw her daughter so happy. Madam Li felt a little disappointed and suddenly asked her, "Does Jinniang like her aunt and uncle?"
Unexpectedly, her mother suddenly asked this. Li Jinniang looked at her blankly, nodded and said confidently: "Of course I like it! My uncle and aunt are so nice to me. My uncle even gave me a set of Cui Daru's paintings. I wanted it before, but my grandmother said that three thousand taels of silver was too expensive..."
Yes, the princess even complained that three thousand taels of silver for a painting was too expensive, but the so-called poor man in her words was willing to spend three thousand taels of silver on his niece.
Madam Li smiled sarcastically, stretched out her hand to pull Li Jinniang to sit beside her, touched her hair and asked her thoughtfully: "Then, if I let you stay with your uncle and aunt for a long time, would it be okay?"
At this point, no matter how slow Li Jinniang was, she understood what she meant. After being stunned for a moment, her face suddenly turned red with shame. She bit her lip, called out "mother", and hurriedly got up to leave.
At this moment, it was meaningless to be shy. Madam Li didn't laugh but pulled her to her side. She told her the current situation with a serious expression: "Jinniang, your mother will never hurt you. Now is not the time to be shy. I know that you used to follow your grandmother and always felt that there was nothing in the world that you couldn't get, but times have changed. Now is different from before. You are a smart child, I don't need to tell you this, you can see it yourself. But your grandmother is still as arrogant as before. This is not a solution. Things are different now. If she is still so difficult to get along with, your marriage will be even more difficult."
Having said that, Madam Li simply said it clearly, there was nothing to hide: "I want to betroth you to your cousin. Your uncle and aunt like you. Your cousin is not the eldest son, so he doesn't have to inherit the family business in the future. If you marry him, you will be marrying down. With your grandmother and uncle and aunt around, you will live a comfortable life, which is better than marrying into a so-called equal family. My dear child, think about it yourself. If you agree, mother will make this happen no matter what."
Li Jinniang fell silent, no longer caring about being shy.
She knew that every word her mother said was true. Now things were different from before. She had been rejected before, so how could she think of a better family? If she really followed her grandmother's wishes, she didn't know how long it would take. And as her mother said, what would happen if she married into a family of equal status? Would everything in that family be good
Princess Mingchang has lost her power. Who would still look up to her for her sake
But if she listened to her mother, she would inevitably offend her grandmother. After all, her grandmother was the one in charge of the family, and even her father was afraid of her. Did she really have to go against her grandmother with her mother
After a long silence, Li Jinniang suddenly thought of Su Yao in the enclosure. At that time, everyone was already scared, but Su Yao was not afraid. She seemed to have the courage to move forward no matter what happened.
Her chaotic mind suddenly became clear. After thinking for a while, she nodded firmly at Madam Li: "Mother, I will listen to you."
Madam Li smiled with satisfaction and patted the back of her hand heavily: "Good! Good! Good! Don't worry, mother will definitely handle this matter well and will never let you suffer any injustice!"
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then Master Li came back in a daze. Li Jinniang called out "father", but he didn't hear her. He sat on the stool with a frown on his face, picked up the cold tea on the table and drank it, and he shuddered from the cold.
Madam Li looked at him in surprise. She wiped his wound with a handkerchief and frowned, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so distraught?"
Mr. Li looked at her, then at his daughter, sighed, and waved his hand to let Li Jinniang go back first. After Li Jinniang left, he said to Mrs. Li, "I have to go out for a while. You should stay at home for the next few days."
