Chapter 497 The matter of consummating the marriage was something Grandmother was even more concerned about!
Granny Zheng finally felt a great weight lifted from her heart.
These two ancestors, after getting married, only consummated their marriage yesterday.
She said that yesterday His Highness insisted on decorating the room like a wedding room.
Although no one ever stays in their yard at night, they always keep hot water in their small kitchen.
Granny Zheng got up early in the morning and rushed over to check, so she knew that the hot water from last night had been used.
She had a guess in her mind at that time.
Que'er, that silly girl, doesn't understand, but Granny Zheng, who has been through it all, comes to check on her every day. How could she not know?
Moreover, not only herself, but the old lady is also very concerned about this matter.
Last time, Granny Zheng specifically wrote a letter to mention the reunion of the young lady and His Highness as husband and wife. It hasn't been that long...
The old lady quickly replied and even wrote a letter to Granny Zheng, asking whether the two of them had successfully consummated their marriage.
The fact that His Highness left on the night of his wedding has left a thorn in the old lady's side.
After all, the young lady and His Highness are a proper married couple who have paid respects to their parents and heaven and earth.
Although the girl's situation was special at the time, how could a couple who had been married for a year not have consummated their marriage?
The old lady was so anxious that she wanted to send Doctor Luo back.
Whether it's His Highness's or the young lady's problem, they both need to take medicine to get better.
However, upon seeing the marks on the bed sheet, Granny Zheng finally felt completely relieved.
His Highness is so kind to the girl in every way; he even tolerated this kind of thing and waited for things to go smoothly before naturally completing the matter.
It's truly rare to find such a gentleman in this world.
Granny Zheng's face beamed with joy.
She excitedly gathered up the bed sheet.
Under Li Qingluo's somewhat embarrassed gaze, she casually asked without changing her expression, "Miss, what did the old lady say in her letter?"
"Please take a look and tell this old servant how she is."
Several months ago, Madam Pei suddenly received a letter.
Then, he hurriedly left Miao territory with Luo Fan, Granny Zhang, and Li Qingluo's four assassins.
Although Madam Pei didn't explain it very clearly at the time, Li Qingluo knew that Madam Pei had gone to Rongle County, the border area between Great Chu and Great Liang.
Li Chaojing was exiled to Rongle County.
Li Qingluo only needed to inquire briefly to find out that it was Li Chaojing who had contracted the plague.
Moreover, I heard that my grandmother took Grandpa Luo to Rongle County in a hurry, where they not only saved Li Chaojing, but also saved the entire population of Rongle County from the plague.
And so, I stayed there for the time being.
Li Qingluo knew that her grandmother could never let go of Li Chaojing, who had become mentally impaired.
When Li Chaojing was exiled, she had already made up her mind to go to the place of exile to accompany him.
This can be considered as making up for the long-standing knot and regret between the mother and son.
It was only because Li Qingluo suddenly fell into a coma and became seriously ill that Madam Pei chose Luo'er, whom she favored more.
Li Qingluo quickly opened the letter from her grandmother.
The letter stated that everything was fine for them in Rong Le.
However, the second and third branches of the family kicked Li Chaojing out because he contracted the plague.
When Madam Pei arrived in Rongle County, she found Li Chaojing, who was already on the verge of death, in a dilapidated temple.
She did not criticize the behavior of the second and third wives, but in the past few months, Li Chaojing not only fully recovered, but also lived a much more affluent life.
Moreover, with the help of Madam Pei, the county government in Rongle began to turn a blind eye to Li Chaojing, this fool, and stopped interfering with him.
The second and third wives were naturally envious.
They all knew that their matriarch was a gold mine.
If we can please her, wouldn't we all have a good life?
However, the actions of the second and third branches had deeply offended Madam Pei, so no matter how much they tried to please her, she retorted with one sentence: "I have already left the clan and have no reason to care about you anymore. From now on, when you meet me, just pretend you don't know me."
The people in the second and third houses immediately felt as if they had swallowed a bitter pill.
Li Qingluo couldn't help but smile when she saw what was behind her.
"My grandmother's heart can be big or small."
“She never harmed her children because of Aunt Deng’s mistakes back then, but now the things the second and third branches are doing are heartbreaking. Grandmother is not a kind-hearted person who doesn’t hold grudges.”
"However, my grandmother didn't say when she would come back. She doesn't miss me either."
Li Qinglu muttered a few words of grievance, then picked up her pen and began to reply.
She first expressed her heartfelt longing for her grandmother, and then brought up the matter of Miao territory.
They also mentioned that they are currently in Nan'an and may not leave for at least another six months.
In no time, he had written a full five pages of letter paper.
After they dried, I folded them up, and the envelopes felt like a big, bulging bag.
When Granny Zheng held it, she thought there were silver notes hidden inside.
"Young lady, this old servant will have them send the letter out immediately."
After leaving, Granny Zheng went straight to her room, quickly wrote another note, and hid it in Li Qingluo's envelope.
The text simply stated: "The ceremony was successfully completed."
Little did Li Qingluo know that her desire to consummate her marriage was not only on her mind, but also on the minds of her grandmother, who was thousands of miles away. Her grandmother was even more anxious than she was.
In the blink of an eye, the lively Spring Festival has come to an end.
Just after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Qingluo's Flower Pavilion Restaurant opened to great fanfare.
Several layers of onlookers gathered around the entrance to watch the spectacle.
They pointed to the sign with instructions hanging at the entrance and began to discuss it amongst themselves.
"This establishment only serves women from all over the world. Men are strictly prohibited from entering!"
"So this is a women's inn?"
"How can there be such an inn? It's ridiculous! Who knows what kind of business they're doing inside?"
"Exactly, it's ridiculous. The restaurant was doing just fine before, and suddenly they come up with this kind of gimmick. It's just a cheap trick to grab attention, isn't it?"
"Who knows what kind of evil tricks this new young master is hiding? What if he corrupts all the women? Would she dare to take responsibility?"
"Exactly, unless we are all allowed to go in and take a look."
"Yes, let all of us young men go in and have a look. If it's really a decent place, we'll recommend it to you!"
"Hahaha…"
The laughter continued, and some people even compared the restaurant to the Elephant Maid's Pavilion.
"Didn't that brothel initially only cater to young women? Later, it became too indecent, so we men started patronizing it!"
"I think you should stop pretending to be something you're not. Just be clear about what kind of business you want to do from the start, so that everyone doesn't keep guessing and you don't ruin your own reputation!"
"Otherwise, once it's exposed, whose daughters will dare to be released? Let alone come to your restaurant to eat, it would be so embarrassing!"
It was clear that no one had any faith in this newly opened restaurant.
Li Qingluo stepped forward personally.
