After all, he was someone else's son, and he went against his mother and made her so angry. The always filial Master Li felt very guilty. Although he became a marquis and had gotten through this difficult time safely, he still felt a little uneasy.
In comparison, Mrs. Li’s entanglement can be completely ignored.
In her opinion, nothing is more important than saving the lives of her family.
This matter was like a thorn in her heart, making her feel uneasy and not knowing what to do. She was worried every day about when Princess Mingchang's plot would be exposed and how her family would cope. Now that the thorn had been removed, she felt relieved.
Seeing Master Li like this, Madam Li became more determined. She snorted coldly, "What else can you do? Of course you'll shout that you, the son, are unfilial and I, the daughter-in-law, am disobedient! Master, you're a grown man, why are you still so hesitant even at this point? Could it be that you really want to be a filial son and sacrifice our entire family?!"
Things have already come to this, how could Mr. Li still have the mind to do this
He stopped Madam Li from continuing her long speech with a sad face: "Forget it, why would I have such an intention? I won't mention this matter anymore, and you don't have to mention it all the time. And..." He thought of the business: "Find a time to personally send some gifts to the Su family to apologize, and remember to go to Princess Yongning in person."
In the past, my mom and I were the masters of the family and they did not have the final say in household affairs. But now it is different. Since they have the final say, it is natural for them to mend their relationship with them.
Mrs. Li had already had this idea, so she naturally agreed immediately.
After finishing her household affairs, she went to see Mrs. Bear first.
Mrs. Xiong was still waiting anxiously for the result. Seeing Mrs. Li's happy face, her heart dropped back into her stomach: "Did it work?"
"It's done!" Madam Li nodded affirmatively. All the worries and fears she had accumulated were now swept away. She no longer had any concerns and smiled with her teeth showing: "Sister-in-law, I really want to kowtow to thank you. You saved our family's lives! Otherwise, I really don't know how to live!"
Mrs. Xiong was also happy for her, but she was more concerned about Emperor Yuanfeng's handling of the matter.
When she heard that Emperor Yuanfeng had killed Aunt Zheng and sent a nanny to serve Princess Mingchang, she immediately realized that this was Emperor Yuanfeng's disguised supervision of Princess Mingchang, so she nodded and said, "This is just as it should be. Your Majesty is truly wise and has not implicated you. If Princess Mingchang still doesn't know how to reflect and repent, then she really doesn't deserve your attention."
"It wasn't worth paying attention to in the first place, and now he's scolding me at home." Madam Li said, still looking tired: "But I don't care about these anymore, how can I care about them? I can't wait to burn three incense sticks for His Majesty every morning and evening..." When she said this, she slapped her mouth again: "There's nothing to worry about in the future."
Mrs. Bear smiled and said a few words to comfort her.
After expressing her feelings, Madam Li turned the topic to Li Jinniang's marriage: "Sister-in-law, if you like your niece..."
The woman's attitude has been very humble.
Mrs. Xiong said hurriedly, "Look at what you are saying. How can I look down on Jinniang? Actually, I should be the one who is worried that my useless son is not worthy of Jinniang. Since you think highly of your nephew, we are naturally not happy. Don't worry, I'm putting it here. Our family will definitely hold Jinniang like a treasure and will never let her suffer any grievances!"
After hearing this, Madam Li was even happier and had nothing to worry about anymore. She smiled and nodded at her, "Of course I trust my sister-in-law, so it's settled. You can discuss it with your brother, pick a time, choose a middleman, and let's settle this matter."
Li Jinniang is not a child anymore, and Madam Li is also afraid that the night will be too long and she will have more troubles.
Mrs. Xiong agreed to it. This was a great thing for the Xiong family. If it weren't for the Yunzhang County Lady's break-off, how could the Xiong family have gotten the chance? Besides, now that Master Li and Mrs. Li were in charge of their own family, there was no need to mention Yunzhang County Lady's dowry.
Even if we put all these aside, Mrs. Xiong really likes her niece. No matter how outsiders view Li Jinniang, Jinniang has always been respectful to their uncle and aunt.
The two sides had a very pleasant conversation, and when leaving, Mrs. Li proposed to visit the Su family.
Mrs. Xiong was stunned for a moment, then she said, "Then I'll go with you, so you can have a companion and avoid embarrassment."
After receiving the Su family's suggestion, Mrs. Xiong did not hide it from Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li was also aware of it.
Now that Mrs. Xiong brought it up, Mrs. Li also thought this was the best option, so they set a time.
The next day, they met at the Marquis's Mansion and then went to the Earl of Yongding's Mansion.
The fact that Princess Mingchang's Mansion had now been changed into Marquis Huizhou's Mansion was already known to everyone in the capital who was well-informed. Master Su San naturally knew about it as well. When he heard that Madam Xiong and Madam Li came together, he knew that they came this time to ease relations, so he told Old Lady Su, Su Xingyi and Wang Yuerong about it.
Old Lady Su and the others were all clear-headed. Now that Princess Mingchang was a thing of the past, all the hatred was naturally a thing of the past. They were very kind and friendly to Madam Li and Madam Xiong. They were friendly, and Madam Li was also willing to make peace, so the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Madam Li sincerely admitted her fault and continued, "Lord Su is a very smart person. This time, we are grateful to her for giving us a way out. We cannot guarantee what will happen in the future, but please rest assured, as long as we are here, the Li family will not do anything to harm the Su family."
After making the point so clear, Old Mrs. Su nodded with a smile.
Meanwhile, Fourth Master Cui was talking to Cui Yuandao about this matter: "I didn't expect that County Lady Su was quite nice. Princess Mingchang's mansion wanted her dead so obviously, but she actually gave them some leeway."
"Room?" Cui Yuandao glanced at his son and shook his head with a headache. "You are getting younger and younger. This doesn't sound like you, but your sixth brother. Think about it carefully. Letting your son rebel against me, what kind of leeway is this? This is what really makes Princess Mingchang's life worse than death. She has been arbitrary all her life, but in the end she was ruined by her own people. Now her dignity is gone. For her, this is much more painful than a straightforward death sentence or beheading. Princess Su is not magnanimous at all. She is clearly killing people and destroying their hearts."
