“I don’t want to get married yet,” Liu Sisi replied, looking at the Wang sisters.
Wang Dani and Wang Erni exchanged a glance. What could they do? Their mistress was just that opinionated.
If this were an ordinary woman, and His Highness the Crown Prince were to fall for her, he would surely be eager to marry her immediately. But her master doesn't seem to care.
Liu Sisi wasn’t bothered by this problem for long. She thought that if Gu Lingchen liked her, he should just tell her directly!
He gets angry and leaves without explaining why. What kind of man is he? A real man should be decisive and efficient.
Anyway, she won't get married before she's fifteen. If Gu Lingchen can wait, then he will wait; if he can't, then he'll choose a concubine.
Having lived two lives, Liu Sisi had no experience with matters of love and sex, and she didn't want to bother with such things now.
It has been five years since the peace treaty was signed with the Jin-Liao Kingdom. Although there has been no movement from them for the time being, it does not mean that they will not launch a war.
The Jin-Liao Kingdom is like a time bomb, ready to explode at any moment, even though the Tianlong Kingdom's military strength and economic situation are much stronger than they were five years ago.
But when war breaks out, there will inevitably be casualties, and in the end, it is the ordinary people who suffer. She has not been idle in the past few years.
She usually makes a large batch of beauty pills first, and then sends a new batch directly to Yulong Pavilion once they are sold out.
She studied mechanical arts and poison-making under Luo Bin at home, and has now mastered most of Luo Bin's skills. She only needs to learn how to concoct a few more complex poisons; otherwise, she has basically learned everything.
Based on her knowledge, she further improved the concealed weapons and muskets used by the army, striving to achieve maximum lethality.
Seeing Liu Sisi standing there in a daze, Luo Ling'er walked over and asked.
"Little sister, what are you thinking about?"
"Uh, I wasn't thinking anything. Sister, you're amazing! You actually confessed your feelings in public. My second brother is completely smitten with you again, haha."
"Hey, you little brat, you're making fun of your sister again. Aren't you the same? His Highness the Crown Prince has been delaying the selection of a consort for so many years because of you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Sisi's smiling face immediately fell.
"Sister, is his affection for me that obvious? You all noticed?"
"Oh, my silly sister, the way His Highness looks at you every time, as you would say, is so 'slippery', you're the only one who doesn't know it."
"Is that so? Then I'll talk to him about my thoughts another day."
At this moment, Liu Siqiang was surrounded by his classmates and friends, who were teasing him!
"Brother Siqiang, you are simply a winner in life! You have achieved two things at once: your wedding night and passing the imperial examination."
"I know that young lady who said she wanted to get engaged to you in the street today. Isn't she the daughter of the Grand General of the State?"
"You look like an angel. You're really lucky. You get all the good things in the world. I guess I'll have to stick close to you from now on."
"You're too kind, everyone. Please continue eating. I have something to take care of!"
After Liu Siqiang finished speaking, he began searching for Luo Ling'er among the lively crowd at home.
Seeing that she was with Liu Sisi, he quickly walked over.
"Ling'er, don't worry, I will go to your residence tomorrow to propose marriage."
Today, Luo Ling'er announced in front of so many people that the two of them were engaged. If he doesn't quickly give Luo Ling'er a formal status, he's afraid people will gossip, which will damage Luo Ling'er's reputation.
"good."
Although Luo Ling'er was a little shy, she wasn't coy at all. The two had been together for several years and were interested in each other, so marriage was a natural progression, since they were both 18 years old.
At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Luo Kuanlong arrived with congratulatory gifts. Xia Wanwan had heard about her daughter's "feat" along the way.
Ever since Luo Ling'er came of age, matchmakers have been visiting her home frequently, and noble young men from the capital have also come to propose marriage, but Luo Ling'er hasn't taken a liking to any of them. She thought it was because her daughter wanted to spend more time with her parents.
I never imagined that he already had someone in his heart, he just hadn't told her.
In ancient times, marriages were arranged by parents and matchmakers, but Xia Wanwan and Luo Kuanlong did not require Luo Ling'er to obey them and marry anyone, which can be considered very enlightened.
However, she still pretended to be angry and said to Wu as soon as she entered the door.
"Sister Wu, is your family sent by heaven to punish me? My youngest daughter was taken in by you when she was little, and now my eldest daughter is your daughter-in-law."
"Just tell me how you're going to make it up to your sister! Otherwise, I won't stand for it."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu felt that it seemed to be true, and that her family had gained a great advantage. She immediately lowered her stance.
"Wan-meimei, look at the mess this has made! That brat Siqiang didn't even tell me about it!"
"But the two children like each other, and we elders can't separate them, can we? Don't worry, our family will definitely not mistreat Ling'er. I will make sure that Ling'er's betrothal gifts will be a sensation in the capital."
“Sigh, from now on, it’ll just be the two of us old folks at home, while your family is full of children and grandchildren. I’m so envious! Poor me!” Xia Wanwan continued.
When Wu saw that her in-laws were still not satisfied, she turned to look at Liu Dashi.
"Honey, look at this..."
Liu Dashi looked up at his second son and Luo Ling'er and sighed.
“If you don’t mind, my son Siqiang can become your son-in-law.”
He was very grateful to Luo Kuanlong and his wife for letting Liu Sisi live with him, after all, they were her biological parents, but he didn't insist on taking Liu Sisi back.
