Chapter 318 Miss Jiu, will you marry me?
The mother and daughter entered Shouchun Courtyard one after the other.
It instantly amazed everyone.
Those eyes were filled with jealousy and disgust.
Madam Li said, "Well, dressed like this, she looks like a legitimate daughter of my mansion."
She had a good impression of Jiusu.
Hu Xue stood up and bowed respectfully to Yi Hui: "Mother-in-law."
"Mr. Hu, you've called me the wrong name." Yi Hui dodged his greeting and said calmly, "My daughter is still unmarried. She's not your mother-in-law."
Hu Xue looked at Li Yulan.
Her face turned pale and then red.
Hu Xue sat back down with a bad look on his face. Old Madam Li couldn't persuade him to do anything about this matter. Every time she wanted to speak, she would think of Jiu Su's words, "If someone hurts you, your granddaughter will never forgive you!"
It's really touching.
Li Sanfang tried to smooth things over, saying, "Sister-in-law, even if Yulan is in trouble, she has taken care of your daughter for more than ten years. Even if she has done many wrong things, you don't have to be so cruel, right?"
Jiusu was about to open his mouth to refute.
Behind him, a man in gorgeous clothes walked in with a happy face.
"You stopped saying that when she killed you."
Seeing Li Ningwan coming, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and bowed nervously, "Greetings, Lord Marquis."
Only the old lady and Yi Hui sat upright.
Lord Li patted Jiusu's shoulder and said, "This is my only daughter. From now on, if anyone talks about biological daughters or adopted daughters, please don't blame me for disregarding the ties of kinship."
A threat! This is a naked threat.
Hu Xue's face was extremely gloomy.
Li Sanfang looked at Li Yulan, who was shaking with fear and as thin as a piece of paper. She gritted her teeth and knelt on the ground, kowtowing, saying, "My Lord, this child is still young. She doesn't know the difference between the important and the minor. If she's wrong, she's wrong. Please, for the sake of our past friendship, don't kick her out of the Marquis' Mansion, okay?"
Li Ningwan snorted coldly.
He lifted his robe and sat in the main seat.
"What you said is true. There was indeed affection in the past, but it's a pity that she didn't seize it."
Li Sanfang asked, "What do you mean by this? Your Highness, please explain clearly."
Li Ningwan said, "In fact, I have told her more than once that as long as she is respectful and obedient and doesn't do anything too out of line, she will still be the daughter of the Marquis's family, and will still be loved by me and my wife, and will still enjoy wealth and glory. But she chose to frame my wife and Yuyu. This crime is unforgivable! I have already given you face by not reporting it to the police."
The old lady closed her eyes and turned the Buddhist beads in her hands.
Shouchun Hall became exceptionally quiet at this moment.
Li Yulan fell to her knees and cried bitterly, "Father... No, Lord, please don't kick me out. Life in the Hu Mansion is not easy for Yulan. Grandmother, please help Yulan. You agreed to let me marry into the Hu family..."
Mrs. Li moved away awkwardly.
"At the beginning, it was you who said that Mr. Hu truly loved you and didn't care about this, but that you didn't have a place to settle down, and I was soft-hearted, so I agreed to let you marry from Shouchun Hall."
Yi Hui sneered and said sarcastically, "You deserve all of this."
Li Yulan: “…”
At this moment, she seemed to have lost all means of refutation.
In the end, all her efforts were in vain, and she had to bear the consequences?
Hu Xue gritted his teeth and said, "At that time, I clearly asked to marry the daughter of the Marquis's family, but why did she choose a vicious woman? Isn't the Marquis also responsible for this matter?"
Li Ningwan raised her hand to stop his harsh criticism and complaints.
He repeated what he had said to Minister Hu after leaving the court one day.
"Actually, if you use your brains and inquire more, you'll know what Li Yulan did. Or maybe Yuyu has already moved into the Marquis' Mansion, but you didn't. You just blindly believed her words. On the day when you got engaged, neither I nor my wife came, right?"
Hu Xue remembered and looked aside: "But the old lady said that the Marquis was busy with government affairs and the lady was not in good health, so she didn't come."
Old Madam Li coughed lightly and said, "Oh no! Someone has caught me by the tail."
She said guiltily, "I am indeed busy, and I am not feeling well."
Li Ningwan slammed the table, frightening those who still wanted to argue and beg for mercy. "This matter ends here! I am happy today. You are all guests, please take a seat!"
"Happy event?" Madam Li quickly changed the subject. "What happy event?"
Li Ningwan looked at Jiusu with a strong smile, and then, at his wife's reminder, he lowered his head and pretended to adjust his clothes: "You will know in a moment, this is a happy event for our entire Li family."
Outside the house.
The people stopped to watch boxes of things being carried into the Li Mansion.
"Oh, what is this for?"
"With so much red paper wrapped around it and the whole family here, it must be..."
Liu Er peered around and finally saw a figure in red official uniform. She ran towards the old courtyard in great surprise. Thinking of the old lady, she tried to control her voice and said with a smile, "Here they come!"
Jiusu asked, "What's coming?"
"Hurry up and sit down." Yi Hui held his daughter's arm, straightened her clothes, and nodded with satisfaction, "My daughter is so beautiful."
Seeing this, Li Yulan was extremely jealous.
This should be hers...
Li Sanfang held her hand and said, "Don't be sad. Your mother will definitely forgive you."
Jiusu wondered if Third Aunt was too nice to Li Yulan, making them look like mother and daughter... Suddenly, her eyes fell on their faces. Hiss, you know what, they really do look a bit alike.
The paternity test machine appeared at this time.
It's hard not to be suspicious.
After a while, she went to steal the hair while there were many people around.
The curtain at the door was hooked on both sides.
Jiang Jinyou, accompanied by Zhou Nuanmei, followed by Jiang Jing, walked into the house. He bowed to each of them and said, "Junior greets the old lady and wishes you a long and healthy life. I greet the Marquis and his wife, and I greet Miss Li."
Jiusu was stunned and looked at Jiang Jing.
Um?
What are you doing?
Dressed so festively and so formally, was this an early New Year's greeting? But wasn't the year already over? She turned around and saw Zitan and Kou Shao holding hands tightly, looking like they were about to cry. Suddenly, she understood something.
Zhou Nuanmei's eyes were red before she could say anything.
She held Yi Hui's hand and said affectionately, "Yi Hui, I've taken the liberty of coming to your house today to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage. These two children have come a long way. Jing'er has also achieved a successful career and is barely worthy of Susu. I hope that the Marquis and Madam will agree to this."
The feeling of reluctance exploded in Yi Hui's heart.
She couldn't speak, so she could only nod.
Li Ningwan, who had been happy all the time, also smiled when he was about to agree to marry his daughter. He said in a deep voice, "Okay, we agree."
Get consent from mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Jiang Nianyin had been hiding behind the curtain. Seeing that the two agreed, she took a deep breath, held back her tears, and handed the things in her hand to her brother.
She said, "If you don't treat Susu well, I, I won't recognize you as my brother."
The words of blessing still turned into a 'threat', but everyone was smiling happily (except for a few jealous ones).
Jiang Jing handed the flowers to Jiusu, then knelt on one knee and opened the gold box. Inside was an exquisite gold ring: "Miss Jiu, will you marry me? I, Jiang Jing, swear that in this life, my heart and body will only belong to you."
