Chapter 370 Let’s Get Along First
When Su Ning heard Li Yan's question, she was stunned at first, then she sneered and approached Li Yan step by step.
"You, you, you...what are you doing? Our elders are all here, please pay attention to your image." Seeing Su Ning walking towards him with a gloomy face, Li Yan subconsciously took a few steps back.
"I just want to ask if you have a mirror at home." Seeing Li Yan's big reaction, Su Ning had to stop, looked at Li Yan with great disdain, and asked.
"Why are you asking this?" Li Yan obviously didn't expect Su Ning to ask this, and asked back with confusion.
"If you don't have a mirror at home, then just lie... I'll ask the servants to bring a mirror so you can take a good look at what you look like. I'm deliberately trying to attract your attention. Aren't you afraid that people here will laugh at you for saying this? You toad!"
Su Ning originally wanted to blurt out "let's take a piss and look in the mirror", but when she saw that their elders were still there, she changed her words.
"You..." Li Yan only then realized what Su Ning was saying. He wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to start.
"What about me? I advise you to take the betrothal gifts and leave my house as soon as possible, otherwise I will beat you to death." Su Ning crossed her arms across her chest. Even Li Yan couldn't argue with her, and she felt extremely comfortable.
"Hey, Yan'er, please stop talking. I'm a girl too."
At this time, Li Yan's mother couldn't stand the two of them arguing with each other, so she spoke out to stop them.
"She's a girl? Look at her from beginning to end. How can she look like a girl? She's always shouting about fighting and killing. And she's still a girl."
Li Yan looked at his mother and pointed at the now arrogant Su Ning with an expression of disbelief.
"Li! Yan! Don't force me to hit you!" Su Ning was so angry when she saw Li Yan's expression that she clenched her fists. If there hadn't been elders present, she would have beaten him up long ago.
"Mother, look, who would dare to marry her like this? Let's go quickly." Li Yan saw Su Ning glaring at him, and knew that Su Ning was on the verge of exploding. If he didn't leave, he would really be beaten.
"It's none of your business whether I get married or not. I will never marry you even if I am alone until I grow old. You better be smart and leave now."
Su Ning looked at Li Yan and saw that he deserved a beating. She really wanted to go up and hit him, but when she thought about Li Yan saying he wanted to leave, she tried hard to suppress herself.
"Hey, I don't want to leave now. I won't leave. What's the matter? Are you going to hit me?" Li Yan saw that Su Ning looked relieved when she heard him say he was leaving. A sense of dissatisfaction surged in his heart. Why should he follow her wishes? He felt so aggrieved.
"Li Yan, if you really want to be beaten, I can help you." Seeing that Li Yan suddenly changed his mind, Su Ning directly picked up the whip on her waist, stared at Li Yan with her beautiful eyes, wishing she could beat him to death the next moment.
"Ning'er, don't be rude." Just as Su Ning was about to rush forward, Zhang grabbed the whip in her daughter's hand.
"Mother, he was the one who provoked me first." Su Ning turned her head and said aggrievedly.
"You're still calling me a toad!" Li Yan muttered in dissatisfaction when he heard Su Ning's words.
"Okay, Li Yan, you are a man, so say less." Only then did Minister Li speak up to stop him. He just took a closer look and found that his son was still a little afraid of Miss Su Ning. This was definitely a good thing for his Li family!
"Father." Li Yan stopped talking after hearing his father speak.
"I wonder what the princess thinks about this marriage?" Seeing that his son was silent and Su Ning was angry again, Minister Li looked at Su Yue, who had remained calm, and asked softly.
"Minister Li, although I am a princess, I am the youngest here. I cannot say that I have superior opinions, but I do have a few words to say."
Su Yue looked at Minister Li and answered with a faint smile.
When Minister Li heard Su Yue's words, his face froze. He really didn't expect Su Yue to have anything to say.
He just asked casually because Su Yue was a princess. After all, Su Yue had the highest status here, and it was not right to leave her out in the cold.
"Princess, please feel free to speak." Minister Li secretly wiped his sweat and wanted to slap himself. Why did he ask the princess for her opinion? She was a person who was free to marry. How could she stand on their side?
"It's like this, what I said may not be right. If it makes sense to you, try it. If it doesn't make sense, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Su Yue naturally noticed that Minister Li's face suddenly turned dark, but she smiled and didn't care.
"Yuer, go ahead and say something." Seeing that Su Yue was about to speak, Zhang also joined in with a word.
Su Ning just looked at Su Yue with hope, looking forward to Su Yue's next words.
"Marriage has always been decided by parents and matchmakers. I don't deny this, but there are always exceptions, like me."
Su Yue first put herself in the right position. No matter what, her freedom to marry could not be changed. If she started talking about great principles while enjoying the benefits of freedom to marry, it would obviously be because she had not experienced the suffering of others.
"We all know that the princess made a bet with the emperor in exchange for the freedom to marry." When Minister Li heard Su Yue mention the freedom to marry, he had a bad feeling in his heart. He forced a smile and replied.
"This is the emperor's favor to me. I am very grateful, but ordinary women's marriage still needs to be arranged by their parents and matchmakers."
Su Yue's words made Su Ning, who had just smiled a little, look gloomy again.
What does Su Yue mean? Does she approve of this marriage?
"Yes, that's what we mean." When Zhang heard Su Yue's second sentence, she hurriedly agreed with a smile.
Minister Li and his wife also nodded in agreement.
"However, I want to ask Minister Li and my aunt, can two people who are forced to be tied together really live together for the rest of their lives?"
Su Yue's first two sentences took into consideration everyone present, so the third sentence naturally required them to think.
"This...it's hard to say about this life." Zhang spoke first, then looked at her daughter. Seeing that her daughter was looking at her with resentful eyes, she looked away again.
"No one can guarantee it, right? So I was thinking, can the marriage between my sister and Mr. Li be delayed? Marriage is a serious matter, not a child's play. Let them get along with each other first, maybe they will agree on their own."
After Su Yue finished speaking, she looked at Su Ning. Seeing that Su Ning looked at her as if she wanted to say something after listening to her, Su Yue gently shook her head at her, signaling her not to speak now.
"What the princess said does make some sense, but what if they are still unwilling?"
Minister Li asked about his doubts. He could not deny that the princess's words made some sense, but looking at the current situation of his son and Su Ning, it was unlikely to succeed.
"If it doesn't work after you spend time together and get to know each other, then they are really not suitable. If you really force two people to be together, it will hurt both families. I think no one wants to live in chaos and fear."
After Su Yue said this, he deliberately looked at the long whip in Su Ning's hand.
Minister Li and his wife, as well as Zhang, followed Su Yue's gaze and naturally understood what Su Yue meant. Although Su Ning could suppress Li Yan, if the two had no feelings for each other, they would not be able to afford the pain of fighting every day.
"That's all I have to say. This is my personal opinion, and it may not be the best way." Su Yue stopped talking after saying this and looked at Minister Li, indicating that he could say something.
"That's it. Ning'er's father hasn't come back yet. We were really hasty this time. The two children don't know each other well yet.
How about this, you accept the betrothal gifts and let them get along with each other. If they get along well, let them decide whether to set a wedding date. ”
After Minister Li understood Su Yue's words, he also stood on Su Yue's side.
"Then it's decided. Let the children get along with each other first." Zhang was delighted when she heard Minister Li generously say that the betrothal gifts would stay with her. She was also happy that her daughter could stay with her more.
"Do you two have any opinions?" Seeing that the elders all agreed, Minister Li turned to ask Su Ning and Li Yan.
"No problem." Su Ning wanted to say something, but was stopped by Su Yue, so she replied with three words in a depressed mood.
"Of course I have no objection." Li Yan saw that Su Ning had agreed, so he thought it would be meaningless for a grown man like him to hesitate, and replied loudly.
So it was a farce of betrothal, and everyone was happy for the time being.
