"Dad, Zhao Lie and I truly love each other. Please help me!" Li Mengxue said excitedly to Minister Li.

"Dad, I know I'm sorry for you and mother's cultivation, but I want to live for myself once."

"Please, Dad, help me!" Li Mengxue said as she knelt in front of Minister Li.

She is a noble lady cultivated by the Li family with all her heart. She should indeed work hard for the family, but the Zhao Lie she chose is not a child of a poor family, nor is he a poor and destitute person.

Zhao Lie's family is also a prominent family. Although he does not have a formal official position, his father and his brother are both capable.

So her marrying Zhao Lie did not bring shame to the family. Marrying Zhao Lie could be regarded as finding a good relative for the Li family.

Li Mengxue grabbed her father's clothes and said, "Dad, please grant your daughter's wish."

"The Zhao family is also a well-known family in Dayun. Zhao Lie's father is a second-rank official... His family and ours are well-matched."

"Dad!" Li Mengxue said excitedly.

Although she was bewildered by Zhao Lie's sweet words, she also knew that marrying Zhao Lie was not a bad thing, otherwise she would not dare to beg her father like this.

She believed that with Zhao Lie's family background, she would agree to him.

"Sister, how could you be so disregarding of your reputation?" Li Shumei stood up and accused Li Mengxue for some unknown reason. "You've made this a big deal. What will happen if the Li family's reputation is damaged?"

"You are shouting so loudly about your affair with a man from outside. How will outsiders view the girls of our Li family?" Li Shumei said righteously.

"Don't talk too much." Li Mengxue said to her.

What qualifications does a mere concubine's daughter have to lecture her?

Li Mengxue looked at her father, then at her mother and said, "Mother, this is the first time in all these years that I have loved someone so much and devoted myself to someone... Please, mother, grant my wish."

Although she once dreamed of becoming a queen, she was now in love with Zhao Lie and had long forgotten her dream of becoming a queen.

As for the family's glory?

The family's glory is not something she shoulders alone, and what's the point of relying on a woman?

If the men of the Li family were capable, they could earn their own future. Why would they need a weak woman like her to earn it for them?

"Mom and Dad, please help me, okay?" Li Mengxue begged, pulling at her parents' clothes.

"Do you know how many women there are in Zhao Lie's backyard?" Madam Li looked at her daughter's crazy look and said with regret.

"He is a very unruly person. He has many concubines at such a young age. Won't you regret marrying him?" Minister Li said earnestly.

"I'm not afraid!" Li Mengxue said firmly, "Zhao Lie hadn't met me before, so he has so many women."

"He loves me now. I am his true love. He would vacate his backyard for me."

"And those women in his backyard are basically pitiful people. If Zhao Lie hadn't taken them in, they would have been homeless and might even have lost their lives."

"Zhao Lie has provided these poor women with shelter from the wind and rain. His noble character is worthy of my love for him." Li Mengxue said with longing on her face.

Mrs. Li was angered by her words.

Is Zhao Lie a good man with noble character?

Is her daughter blind?

Is Zhao Lie providing a safe haven for those poor women?

Is she stupid or is Zhao Lie stupid?

The women in Zhao Lie's backyard are all beauties that he likes. He likes to collect all kinds of beauties.

"Are you really determined to marry no one but him?" Minister Li looked at his crazy daughter and asked seriously.

"Yes, I will marry Zhao Lie!" Li Mengxue said firmly, "I will marry Zhao Lie and no one else!"

"Even if he's a dandy?"

"Zhao Lie is just unrestrained. He is very talented!"

"Even though he has a multitude of concubines in his backyard?"

"Zhao Lie is just kindhearted and considerate of women. He is a kind man and I am his favorite!"

"Okay, since you have decided, I won't object." Minister Li said lightly.

Although the legitimate daughter was raised with great effort by his family, his other daughters were also well-raised.

The teachers that the Li family hired to train Li Mengxue also taught the other daughters of the Li family. In fact, Li Mengxue was not the best student among his daughters.

It's just because she is the legitimate daughter that she is treated better.

Now that Li Mengxue wants to marry Zhao Lie, the daughter who wants to marry into the royal family should change her choice.

Minister Li knew who Zhao Lie was, and he agreed to let Li Mengxue marry Zhao Lie, which could be considered as him giving up his daughter.

"Master?" Madam Li heard Minister Li's resignation and said in disbelief, "Master, don't you know who Zhao Lie is? If Xue'er marries him, she'll be jumping into a fire pit!"

Her precious daughter was a piece of flesh that fell from her body after ten months of pregnancy, and she didn't want her daughter to be unhappy for the rest of her life.

She turned around and looked at Li Mengxue and said, "Xue'er, listen to your mother's advice. That Zhao Lie is not a good match at all."

"You are not allowed to say that about Zhao Lie! Zhao Lie is the best man in the world! He is a one-of-a-kind lover!" Li Mengxue said excitedly.

Minister Li looked at his daughter defending Zhao Lie and shook his head, saying, "Since you want to marry Zhao Lie, then father will grant your wish."

Li Mengxue was immediately delighted when he heard him say that. "Thank you, Dad. You are so understanding and righteous. You are the one who loves your daughter the most!"

Mrs. Li could understand what she meant. Did her daughter dislike her and not love her?

Mrs. Li covered her chest with her hands, feeling that all the love she had shown her over the years was not worth it.

But this is her own daughter, the one she has spoiled since she was very young. How could she not be sad that she treats herself like this for a man?

Li Shumei looked at Li Mengxue, then at her father and stepmother, then lowered her head and smiled.

Zhao Lie?

Even she, a concubine's daughter, has heard of Zhao Lie's reputation. How could Li Mengxue actually like such a man?

Is this guy Li Mengxue really blind?

"Minister Li, thank you for agreeing to marry Xue'er and me."

At this moment, a magnetic and gentle voice sounded. Li Shumei's heart skipped a beat and she looked up in surprise.

Then she saw a man walking towards her against the light, with the light shining on him, as if his whole body was glowing.

The phrase "my humble home is now glorious" refers to this situation, right?

When she saw the man's handsome face, her heart beat faster.

"My name is Zhao Lie, nice to meet you, Minister Li and Madam Li." Zhao Lie, looking like a modest gentleman, greeted Minister Li and his wife.

"Please rest assured, since Zhao Lie has married your daughter, he will be devoted to her and remain loyal to her." When saying the second half of the sentence, Zhao Lie looked at Li Mengxue.

The tender eyes and the murderous face made Li Mengxue blush as she looked at him.

Zhao Lang is so handsome that her heart beats so fast when he looks at her.

She will never regret marrying Zhao Lang.
