(No system, no cheat, no troublesome relatives, no CP.) Li Yu was very capable. Her childhood spent as a 'left-behind child' made her yearn more for home and a life of financial freedom. La...
The two chatted for a long time, and the more they talked, the more Li Yu felt something was wrong.
Why does Mrs. Qu always bring the topic to Lin He? Does she have some ideas?
Sure enough, the other party asked, "I just learned from our conversation that your Third Young Master is still unengaged. I wonder what kind of man Madam has in mind?"
........
How should Li Yu answer this? She had never thought about Guan Linhe's marriage at all.
She said awkwardly, "Don't worry about Madam laughing at you. I promised him a long time ago that I would not interfere in his marriage. As for what kind of person he wants to find, it's up to him."
Mrs. Qu didn't believe it. "How could such a thing happen? Parents can't interfere in their children's marriages."
"Our family's situation is special. Their father passed away early, and the children all have their own opinions. I just let them do what they want."
Li Yu's refusal to accept anything made Mrs. Qu anxious.
"We have a little daughter in our family. She has been pretty and smart since she was young. She is good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she has been registered under my name since she was young and taught as a legitimate daughter.
Madam, what do you think of Pei Linhe?"
Her directness left Li Yu speechless.
What do you mean, give Lin He a concubine?
It’s not that she looks down on concubine’s daughter, it’s just that the Qu family is a bit bullying.
Of course, if Lin He really liked the other person, she wouldn't say anything.
In the end, she had already said that she didn't care about Lin He's marriage, but this man still acted like this.
Lin He must have refused, so he came to find me when he was taking the exam.
Li Yu initially refused: "This is inappropriate. It's not that I look down on your daughter, but I really don't have the power to arrange a marriage for her. This matter is up to my son. We can discuss everything after he finishes his exams."
After she said this, she knew it was definitely not good without even looking at Mrs. Qu's expression.
But Li Yu didn't care. She had already said that she wanted Lin He to make the decision, and the other party also asked them to marry the concubine's daughter of the Qu family.
She could only refuse bluntly.
At this point, Li Yu knew there was nothing more to say, so he stood up and said goodbye.
"I have something to do at home, so I won't stay any longer. I'll go back first."
After saying that, she stood up and left. It wasn't that she didn't know etiquette, but that Mrs. Qu was still angry.
Li Yu didn't want to stay and argue with her.
Besides, even if I don’t know the etiquette, so what? The two families are just acquaintances.
It’s just because of Qu Xiangbai that we have a little intersection.
But if you think that the Lin family is easy to control just because of this, you are wrong.
In the past, it was just mutual benefit. The Qu family helped them hand over the printing technology, and the Qu family also made a profit.
This is originally a win-win situation, but if they think that their Lin family relies on the Qu family, they are wrong.
Li Yu was right, Liang really thought so.
After Li Yu left, she sat there for a long time, still feeling angry.
At this time, Qu Chaonan came back and saw her unhappy expression, and knew something was wrong.
"What happened?"
He asked the little girl next to him in a low voice.
There was nothing to hide about this kind of thing, so the little girl answered truthfully, "Today, my wife invited the wife of the Lin family to a banquet at our house."
Now, Qu Chaonan knew what happened without asking.
It must be that the lady made that request again, but they didn’t agree.
He waved his hand and let the maid go down, leaving only the couple in the room.
"Who has offended you again? Look at your unhappy expression."
Liang was really angry. The Lin family was too ungrateful. A country family looked down on the girls from their Qu Mansion.
"The Lin family is so generous. Today I said I would marry Wan'er to Lin He, but his mother flatly refused, saying she couldn't control her son's marriage."
Before Qu Chaonan could say anything, she laughed again, "What a joke! I've never heard of a mother who couldn't decide her son's marriage."
Qu Chaonan sighed, "Why are you doing this? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Besides, didn't Lin He reject you clearly last time? Why are you still like this?"
Liang didn't think she had done anything wrong. "I used to think Lin He was a good person, but now it seems that his whole family is full of ungrateful ungrateful people..."
........This is a serious matter.
Qu Chaonan quickly interrupted her, "What are you talking about? The child is obviously very good, and the whole family is honest."
"Oh, Qingheng is Lin He's master. Lin He said that we shouldn't refuse our proposal. And their printing technology, if it weren't for our Qu family, would they have the chance to present it to His Majesty?"
Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Qu Chaonan quickly interrupted: "Okay, what are you talking about? You are getting more and more outrageous."
