In fact, Zhao Lie’s face was not considered a top-notch face. It was just a face that Wushuang sculpted for her according to Li Mengxue’s aesthetic.
Li Mengxue likes men with this kind of appearance, so she pinched Zhao Lie's face in this direction according to her wishes.
The combined effects of the body shaping pill and the beauty pill made Zhao Lie's face look exceptionally handsome, causing Li Mengxue to fall in love with him at first sight and become deeply addicted to him.
Zhao Lie's face was so lethal that it made Madam Li dazed for a moment when it appeared, and Li Shumei, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but stare at him.
On a rooftop of the Shangshu Mansion, Wushuang, who was more than three months pregnant, hid in an inconspicuous corner to watch this big show.
Yes, Wushuang was watching the show there.
She managed to climb onto the roof and covered herself with a cloak that used the principle of light refraction to achieve the effect of "invisibility".
Beside her was Yun Yin, who was squatting on someone's rooftop to watch the show in broad daylight with her.
Yun Yin looked at her face full of gloating expression as she watched the show, and he was sure that she was indeed very narrow-minded.
Wushuang didn't care what Yun Yin thought of her. She watched with great interest as Li Mengxue and Zhao Lie fought for their love.
Of course, Li Shumei's love at first sight when she saw Zhao Lie was exactly the same as Li Mengxue's at the beginning.
Wushuang was a little curious. If this half-sister, who had a very bad relationship with Li Mengxue and seemed to have a grudge against her, also fell in love with Zhao Lie, how would she fight with Li Mengxue?
"Why are you here, nephew?" Minister Li's expression was not very good when he saw Zhao Lie, but after looking at his daughter whose heart and eyes were full of Zhao Lie, he still tried to show his kind side.
Since he has agreed to let his daughter marry Zhao Lie, there is no way they will fall out. If they really fall out, won't his daughter suffer if she marries into the Zhao family?
Let the Zhao family know that his daughter has his support behind her, so that his daughter can live a better life.
This is all Minister Li can do for his daughter.
"Dad, my sister used to dream of becoming the Crown Prince's concubine in two years... but now she is determined to marry Mr. Zhao... maybe she is not sincere." Li Shumei, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but stand up and say.
After seeing Zhao Lie's appearance, Li Shumei understood why her elder sister was so determined to marry him. Such a handsome and elegant man really made them like him.
Moreover, Zhao Lie was not from a poor family or a poor commoner. His family background was comparable to that of the Li family.
So Li Shumei was also very moved.
She has always wanted to suppress her elder sister. Originally, she thought that her elder sister would become the Crown Prince's concubine, and she would marry a good man as his wife in the future.
In this respect, she can compare with her elder sister Li Mengxue.
In fact, when she knew that Li Mengxue had to marry Zhao Lie, she was very gloating. She also knew Zhao Lie's reputation as a playboy and a dissolute second-generation rich man.
It is easy to imagine what life will be like after marrying a man who has no ability and no sincerity.
But now, after seeing Zhao Lie's appearance with her own eyes, Li Shumei was also moved.
Given how little her stepmother cared about her illegitimate children, it would be unlikely for her to marry a man from a good family in the future.
If she could snatch Zhao Lie from Li Mengxue now, wouldn't everyone be happy?
But she knew that her family still hoped that Li Mengxue could become the prince's concubine and allow the Li family to continue to prosper.
So, she reluctantly helped everyone get rid of Zhao Lie.
"Sister, aren't you pretending to be sick at home recently just to avoid marriage, hoping to enter the Crown Prince's harem in two years?"
"Now that you have to marry Mr. Zhao, are you sincere to him?" Li Shumei said with a look of doubt.
Of course, she said this for Zhao Lie to hear. She really wanted Zhao Lie to know that she, his elder sister, did not like him or love him, and that her feelings towards him were definitely insincere.
In this case, Zhao Lie might abandon Li Mengxue and be with her instead.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Heaven and earth can attest to my true love for Zhao Lang!" Li Mengxue angrily scolded Li Shumei, "You just can't stand seeing me thrive! Are you determined to ruin my marriage?"
"Zhao Lang, believe me, I truly love you and I truly admire you." Li Mengxue expressed her loyalty to Zhao Lie.
Zhao Lie nodded, "I know, I really love you too."
"Xue'er, the love between us will never be broken, even if the mountains are broken and the sky and the earth are united." Zhao Lie said to Li Mengxue with deep affection on his face.
Li Mengxue's face was full of emotion when she heard this.
Li Shumei next to her was full of jealousy.
The attitude between these three young men made Minister Li's veins pop out and his temples throb.
"Mengxue's marriage is up to you." Minister Li stood up and said to Madam Li, "I have things to attend to. Please have a good talk with her."
Minister Li quickly slipped away.
Out of sight, out of mind. He couldn't stand this eye-irritating scene any longer. He just let it go.
He doesn't only have Li Mengxue as his daughter, so he doesn't mind having another concubine's daughter who he doesn't care much about.
His Li family has so many daughters, so it won’t be a problem if these two are missing.
Moreover, marrying Li Mengxue to Zhao Lie would not be without benefits. It would also be possible if the Zhao family became related to their Li family.
As for Li Shumei...
Just think of it as a buy one get one free deal for the Zhao family. What else can he do?
"master--"
When Madam Li saw Minister Li decisively leave, she reached out to Erkang but failed to keep him.
When she could no longer see Minister Li, she turned around to look at Li Mengxue, who was holding hands with Zhao Lie and looking at each other with affection.
Mrs. Li gritted her teeth. What was she doing?
"Sister, what are you doing? Men and women shouldn't touch each other, please be aware of the impact." Li Shumei couldn't bear it any longer and interrupted the two people who were holding hands and looking at each other.
Seeing the expression on Zhao Lie's face when he looked at Li Mengxue, Li Shumei couldn't help but feel jealous.
How nice it would be if such a handsome man looked at her with such gentle and affectionate eyes. How could he look at Li Mengxue?
Li Mengxue is such a vicious woman. How could she harm Mr. Zhao?
Li Mengxue ignored Li Shumei. She never took Li Shumei seriously before, and she would do so even less now.
Instead, Zhao Lie glanced at Li Shumei, and his eyes moved when he saw her beautiful face.
When Li Mengxue couldn't see, he smiled at Li Shumei, and the love in his eyes almost drowned Li Shumei.
Mr. Zhao...
Li Shumei's face turned red and her heart was beating fast.
What did Mr. Zhao’s look just now mean?
Does he like me too?
Does he want to marry me too?
Is it just because of the vicious woman Li Mengxue that Mr. Zhao can't marry her?
if……
If something happened to Li Mengxue, would Mr. Zhao Lie marry her?
Li Shumei was very excited, and her eyes were full of jealousy when she looked at Li Mengxue in front of Zhao Lie.
