Chapter 369: Wealthy Minister Li
"The Li family is now at my mother's place. Yue'er, come with me. I'll tell you slowly on the way. In the current Su family, your words are effective and reliable. I can only trust you."
When Su Ning saw Su Yue asking about the previous reason, she thought that Su Yue must be willing to help her, so she pulled Su Yue and was about to go out.
"Sister, don't be anxious, let's walk slowly." Su Ning was very strong, and Su Yue was forced to follow her when she grabbed him.
"Sister, take your time. Don't be anxious. I'll talk to you, but I'm not sure I can convince my aunt."
Su Yue followed Su Ning to the gate, but gave a helpless reminder.
"It's okay. Just help me talk about it. If it works, it will work. If not, I have other ideas."
When Su Ning heard that her sister was willing to plead for her, she became much more intimate with Su Yue. At least Su Yue did not force her to accept that lecher like the other members of the Su family.
"Okay, sister, can you tell me what the Li family did to make your aunt agree to marry you off?"
Su Yue and Su Ning were sitting in the carriage. As the carriage moved slowly, Su Yue looked at Su Ning and asked about the doubts in his heart.
"This Li family is really too cunning." After hearing Su Yue's question, Su Ning spoke angrily as if he had thought of something.
"What happened, young lady? I'm still confused."
Su Yue couldn't help but find it funny when she saw Su Ning's angry look, but now was not the time to laugh, so she held back and asked again,
"I stayed at your house that day, and the next day the Li family came with a betrothal gift and a matchmaker. My mother saw that I was in a bad mood, so she kicked the Li family and the matchmaker out." Nan + Ju
Su Ning thought about the previous situation and looked at Su Yue and spoke carefully.
"This aunt is really brave. She even dares to attack the Shangshu."
When Su Yue heard that Minister Li's family was actually kicked out, she was stunned at first. This aunt really doted on this sister. She was just a businessman, but she dared to drive away the minister.
But he seemed to have thought of something and kept silent.
"My mother is just relying on you and the Prime Minister's influence." Su Ning muttered.
"So what happens next?" Su Yue smiled gently after hearing Su Ning's words. She had just thought of this but didn't say it out loud.
"You don't know that after being driven away by my mother, Minister Li brought twice as much betrothal gifts the next day as the day before, and continued to propose marriage as if nothing had happened."
Su Ning bit her lip and said unwillingly.
"This Minister Li actually knows my aunt quite well." After hearing this, Su Yue probably understood that my aunt was a person who loved money very much, and Minister Li was clearly prescribing the right remedy for her condition.
"Has your aunt agreed to your marriage?" Su Yue asked when she saw Su Ning's face looked very unhappy.
"No, my mother does like money, but she loves me too. It's just that Minister Li is too mean. A few days later, he brought the same betrothal gift as before, but the difference is that he added a million silver notes."
When Su Ning said this, her tone began to sound aggrieved.
"This... Minister Li is really persistent."
After Su Yue heard this and looked at Su Ning's expression, she probably understood that this Shangshu Li was just throwing money around. The aunt valued money in the first place, and now that she saw that the Shangshu's family was so powerful, she thought her daughter would not suffer if she married into the family, so she agreed.
"Where is my uncle, and my grandparents?" Su Yue thought that even though my aunt agreed, didn't the Su family have other people?
"My father and my eldest brother went to my grandfather's place. Something happened there. As for my grandparents, since they knew it was the Shangshu who proposed the marriage, they naturally had no objection."
When Su Ning said this, her head drooped in dejection.
"So Yue'er, you have to help me. They are still in the prime minister's residence." After thinking for a while, Su Ning raised his head and took Su Yue's hand again, speaking in a low voice.
"Sister, I'll try my best." Su Yue patted the back of Su Ning's hand and comforted her. As for whether she could persuade her aunt, she was not sure.
Soon, the two finally arrived at the gate of the prime minister's residence. Su Ning jumped off the carriage first, then turned around and picked up Su Yue.
As soon as she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, she heard a voice coming. Su Ning looked at Su Yue with a forced smile.
"Then our marriage is settled, and we will be in-laws from now on." After a hearty laugh, a familiar male voice came from Zhiqing Hall. It was Minister Li.
"Of course. How about we discuss the wedding date right away?" The eldest aunt's voice came out, also with joy.
"I don't agree!" After hearing what the two said, Su Ning let go of Su Yue's hand and rushed into Zhiqing Hall with an angry face.
Following Su Ning's sweet cry, Zhiqing Hall fell silent for a while.
"Ning'er, stop making trouble." At this time, the voice of aunt Zhang was heard, breaking the silence, but Zhang's voice was obviously full of blame.
"I won't get married anyway. Mother, please don't force me. Father will definitely give in to me if he knows." Su Ning said again, obviously with a crying tone.
Su Yue walked in at this time, and saw Minister Li and his wife sitting with Zhang. Su Ning stood in front of Zhang, her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her sockets, but she stubbornly refused to let them flow out.
Minister Li and his wife looked at Su Ning with such an expression, and their faces also became embarrassed.
They spent a lot of effort to deal with Su Ning's mother, so they hope there won't be any more problems with Su Ning.
"Your father listened to me. When he comes back from outside and finds out, he won't say anything." Zhang spoke up when she heard her daughter mention her husband.
Just when Zhang looked up inadvertently, she saw Su Yue walking in from outside the door.
"Yu'er, why are you here?" As Su Yue entered the room, Zhang hurriedly stood up and walked forward, asking with a smile?
"Princess..." After hearing Zhang's words, Minister Li and his wife also stood up and bowed to Su Yue.
"Don't be so polite, I just came to take a look."
Su Yue looked at the three of them with a slightly awkward smile. From what she had just heard from the three of them, it seemed that the marriage had already been decided. It seemed a bit unreasonable for her to say anything at this time. However, thinking of Su Ning, Su Yue had to speak.
"Madam, the young master of the Li family is here." Just as everyone present was looking at Su Yue and Su Yue didn't know how to start, a servant hurried up to report.
"That's great, please come in." When Zhang heard that Li Yan was coming, she quickly ordered the servants to invite him in.
However, what Zhang didn't notice was that the faces of Minister Li and his wife suddenly turned ugly. In fact, their son Li Yan was also unwilling to marry Su Ning, and kept shouting that Su Ning was a tigress.
The proposal during this period was completely concealed from him. Originally, I wanted to take the initiative and set the wedding date first.
But why is he here now? Could it be that their proposal of marriage without telling him has been exposed?
Thinking of this, Minister Li and his wife looked at each other again. It was obvious that they didn't know what was going on.
When Su Yue heard that Li Yan was coming, she didn't say anything, but followed her aunt Zhang in.
"Father and mother, I knew you were here. You have locked me up and not allowed me to leave the house during this period of time. Can you hide it from me?"
As soon as Li Yan came in, he walked up to Minister Li and his wife and asked loudly, without paying any attention to Su Yue and Su Ning inside.
"Yan'er, your mother and I have found such a good marriage for you, what is your attitude?"
Minister Li concealed his guilty conscience and raised his voice to blame.
"What kind of good marriage is this? I won't marry that tigress." Li Yan directly retorted after hearing what his father said.
"You lecher, you want to marry me, but I don't want to marry you yet. Hurry up and take the betrothal gifts and get out of here."
Su Ning had been suppressing her anger since she saw Li Yan come in, until he called her a tigress, she could no longer hold back and retorted.
"I am a lecher? I have never flirted with you, right? Why are you so angry with me? Are you trying to attract my attention on purpose?"
After hearing what Su Ning said, Li Yan looked up at Su Ning, with doubt in his words.
