Chapter 909 You should make good use of your teacher.
Madam Yu stared at the letter in her hand, speechless. Her mind was in turmoil, and the words she had prepared were now scattered by Li San Niang.
Li San Niang naturally noticed Madam Yu's panic, and she concluded by saying, "Madam, why don't you go back and discuss this in detail with the Master of the Yu family?"
As for that marriage, I just overheard the lady saying that it was only a short time before Najib arrived.
Li San Niang glanced at Madam Yu with a smile, and Madam Yu quickly nodded in response to Li San Niang's question.
"Then there's no need to rush. I've been married before, and I know that the formalities of marriage take at least a year and a half. Some prestigious families can't even complete them in two or three years."
Isn't that perfect?
"While there's some free time, Xue Lian can take good care of herself, and you can also discuss what's best to do next."
After seeing Madam Yu off, Li San Niang looked at the gift box Madam Yu had left behind, then turned to Song Fu Ling and said, "Fu Ling, take care of what's in this box. Report it to Steward Li. Use part of it for Xue Lian's expenses while she's staying here, use another part to buy medicine for Xue Lian, and give the rest to Xue Lian to keep herself. She'll need money for food, clothing, and other necessities in the future."
"Yes, Master, I've got it."
Song Fuling agreed and went to collect the two wooden boxes.
The two entered the house one after the other, and as soon as they entered, they were met with a gaze from Yu Xuelian, who was leaning against the headboard.
Li San Niang nodded to Yu Xue Lian, then turned around and took the wooden box from Song Fu Ling, saying to her, "Please bring over the medicine for Xue Lian, then take Shi Liu out to buy some food and supplies, and come back after wandering around for a while."
After all, Snow Lotus and Pomegranate will be staying here for a while, and they'll need quite a few things.
Song Fuling was intelligent; how could she not understand that Li Sanniang wanted to speak with Yu Xuelian alone? Therefore, she responded and waved to the pomegranate tree beside Yu Xuelian's bed.
Shi Liu first went to see Yu Xuelian, and only after Yu Xuelian nodded did she follow Song Fuling out the door.
As for Qiu Xiang, she went to the courtyard on her own initiative and closed the door for Li San Niang and Yu Xue Lian.
Now, only Li Sanniang and Yu Xuelian were left in the room. Li Sanniang opened the wooden box that Madam Yu had brought on the table and showed it to Yu Xuelian.
"I guess it's silver ingots. Madam Yu is generous; this silver is enough for you and Shiliu to stay here and recuperate for the time being."
As soon as Li San Niang finished speaking, she heard Yu Xue Lian sobbing.
"Oh, you silly child, why are you crying again?"
Li San Niang walked over in a few steps, sat down with a thud, took Yu Xuelian's hand, and pulled the frail woman into her arms.
"But you're feeling wronged again?"
Want to sever all ties with the Yu family? To cut all ties completely?
"Are you upset about the money your wife brought, and don't want it?"
Li Sanniang gently stroked Yu Xuelian's back and whispered in her ear, asking these questions.
"Sir, I... Waaah, I, waaah... I don't want the money from the Yu family, I don't want their money, I..."
As Yu Xuelian spoke these words through tears, her fragility was heartbreaking. Li Sanniang sighed softly and said to Yu Xuelian in a gentle voice, "Speak slowly, I'm listening. Come, wipe this little face."
Li San Niang took out a cloth and gently wiped away the tears on Yu Xue Lian's face. "Wait here, I'll go get you some water to drink."
When Li San Niang returned to the bedside with a cup of water, Yu Xue Lian had calmed down considerably. She was a little embarrassed, but drank the cup of water from Li San Niang's hand.
"Do you want more?"
"No, sir, that's enough."
Thank you, sir!
Mr. Xie risked his life to rescue me from the Yu family. Mr. Xie also treated me. And thank you so much, Little Pomegranate, Sister Qiuxiang, and Sister Fuling! Thank you all so much!
Li San Niang got up and adjusted the blanket Yu Xuelian was leaning against. After sitting down again, she reached out and brushed a stray hair behind Yu Xuelian's ear. Then she smiled and said to her, "If you really want to thank us, then you should take your medicine and take care of yourself. That's the best way to thank us."
After saying this, Li San Niang took the soup that Song Fuling had brought from the table and said, "Come on, drink it all in one go. After you finish, I'll get you some honey pods to eat."
Li San Niang kept her word. After Yu Xue Lian gulped down that bowl of bitter medicine, she really did give her some sweet honey pods to eat.
"Alright, hold this fruit in your mouth to wash away the bitterness, and while you're at it, let me explain it to you in detail, okay?"
Feeling the sweetness in her mouth, Yu Xuelian obediently nodded to Li San Niang.
Li San Niang pointed to the two boxes of silver ingots on the table and said to Xue Lian, "Xue Lian, don't act rashly!"
Since you were born into the Yu family, you will always be a daughter of the Yu family, and your connection with the Yu family is unbreakable.
I know you're upset, and I know you don't want the marriage arranged for you by the head of the Yu family.
"But, Xue Lian, this is how the world is. Since you are a daughter of the Yu family, you must be filial to your parents and obey their wishes."
Seeing that Yu Xuelian's eyes were welling up with tears again, Li Sanniang sat closer, took Yu Xuelian's hand, and comforted her, "You silly child, I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you starting to cry again?"
Li San Niang handed the cloth over again and continued to say to Xue Lian, "I do not agree with your use of a hunger strike to protest your unwillingness, but I understand it. It is a helpless move on your part and is quite understandable."
However, now that you've come this far, and you know to send Shiliu to me for help, you should change your strategy in your counterattack.
Li San Niang pointed to the silver ingots on the table again: "Money is not everything, but you can't do anything without it."
You were born into the Yu family, and the Yu family has raised you to this day. What's wrong with you spending the Yu family's money?
However, now that you've spent this money, you'll have to rely on yourself to give back the benefits to the Yu family in the future.
You are free to resist the marriage arranged for you by the master of the house, but the method you used was wrong.
Yu Xuelian was stunned, her brain racing to process what Li Sanniang had said.
“Xuelian, you are very lucky,” Li Sanniang pointed to the sky, “The Emperor is on the throne, the ruler of the Tang Dynasty, and there are already female officials in the court.” Li Sanniang pointed to herself, “Your husband, me, isn’t that a female official?”
"Since you know that you came to me for help, you should make good use of your master."
"ah?"
Yu Xuelian, her eyes filled with utter confusion, was truly dumbfounded at this moment.
Li San Niang raised her hand and touched the top of Yu Xue Lian's head, smiling as she said, "You child, you are so adorable."
Come, listen carefully to my analysis of your future path...
Li San Niang had no idea how important everything she had said to Xue Lian today was; it was on this very day that the first female prime minister of the Wu Emperor's dynasty began to harbor ambitions.
