Chapter 429: Marrying on Behalf

The secret guards who were investigating Feng Qi's identity and the steward from Prince Jin's mansion who was delivering the betrothal gifts set out at the same time.

Seven days later, they arrived at Anping City.

Long Aotian opened the letter from his father and was stunned when he learned that he was asked to take his butler with him to propose marriage.

"I'm not married yet, how can you let me go?" Long Aotian looked at the housekeeper in embarrassment.

The housekeeper looked at Lu Li on the side and said, "The old lady said that it's okay if you can't do it. There is..."

"It's enough to have Miss Nine, right?" Long Aotian immediately understood his unfinished words.

"Yes, the old mistress said that everything will be arranged by Miss Nine." The housekeeper responded fluently.

"Does your master think so highly of me?" This was Lu Li's first time as a matchmaker, and she found it somewhat novel, but she was not opposed to it.

"What you said is true. Who in the world dares to look down on you? You are always like this wherever you go!" The housekeeper smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

I also learned this from the Crown Princess.

When the Crown Princess praises others, she likes to give a thumbs up.

"Alright, leave Long Zhentian's marriage to me. Tomorrow is an auspicious day, let's go propose!" Lu Li patted his chest to promise.

"Don't worry, there will be no problem."

"I am completely at ease with that." The palace steward replied with a smile.

Lu Li didn't expect that she agreed too early.

When we went to Chi's house the next day, something went wrong.

"Change the person to marry?"

Long Zhentian looked at Mrs. Chi in front of him in disbelief.

"Qing'er's health has been getting worse day by day since she fell into the water. I'm afraid that if she gets married, she won't live long. Wouldn't that delay the fourth young master Long's marriage?" Madam Chi looked like she was doing it for his own good.

She sighed, then said with a smile, "But since the two families have already decided to marry, why not let her sister Xier marry him. They are only half an year apart in age, and my Xier is more beautiful, so it won't affect anything."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but frown.

How can you curse your own daughter like that?

Isn't it too much to discuss letting your sister marry in his place when the person is still alive?

"Are you still her biological mother? How can you say such a thing?" Long Aotian blurted out.

"Of course not. If she was my biological mother, how could their ages be only half a year apart?" Qu Songnian discovered the blind spot.

Lu Can, who came over to join in the fun, showed an expression of sudden enlightenment: "Oh, I understand, you are the stepmother."

Mrs. Chi's face suddenly became distorted.

But the person in front of her was either rich or noble, and she didn't dare to offend him.

After all, the last time Long Zhentian came, I learned that he was from Beijing, was a quadruplet, and had a triplet brother.

She vaguely guessed his identity.

After all, there are very few people in the world who give birth to quadruplets, and the most famous one is the Princess of Jin.

After Long Zhentian left, she spent a lot of money to send people to inquire. After confirming that Long Zhentian was the fourth son of King Jin, she thought of letting her daughter marry him in his place.

Mrs. Chi couldn't afford to offend anyone, but couldn't swallow this anger. She stamped her feet in anger and pulled Mr. Chi, who had been silent, over to her: "Mr. Chi, please say something."

Mr. Chi remained silent.

He doesn't care which daughter he marries.

But Qing'er's body is really disappointing.

Otherwise, she would be the one who married into the palace.

You can't blame him for being partial as a father.

Thinking of this, he slowly spoke: "Mr. Long Si, I think they should get married, and Xier is also very good. Why don't you meet Xier first?"

Chi Hanxi, who was eavesdropping behind the screen, was waiting expectantly for Long Zhentian's response.

"What's good about that?" Lu Li spoke.

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on her.

"You are a vicious woman. You killed Chi Hanqing's mother and became the new Madam Chi. Now you want to kill Chi Hanqing again and let your daughter marry Long Zhentian in her place. How can you be so shameless?" Lu Li looked at Madam Chi with anger.

She had been silent just now, just using the melon-eating system to investigate what happened.

She really never expected that Mrs. Chi was so malicious.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do that. How could I have killed Sister Wan?" Mrs. Chi shook her head in panic.

"Yes, you just provoked her when she was about to give birth, saying that you were pregnant with Chi Rong's child. This made her so angry that she went into premature labor and died of heavy bleeding." Lu Li said expressionlessly.

Mrs. Chi's face changed drastically. What happened back then was so secretive, how did this little girl know about it?

"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense." She didn't know how to defend herself and could only repeat this sentence.

"You killed your good sister, and now you want to kill her only bloodline left in the world. It's an exaggeration to say that you are a vicious person." Lu Li sneered.

"Why was Chi Hanqing fine after she fell into the water, but started to have a fever a few days later? It's because you drugged her."

"I didn't, I didn't!" Mrs. Chi screamed.

Mr. Chi looked at her in surprise, as if he had not expected the person next to him to be so vicious.

"You actually attacked Qing'er?" He raised his hand and slapped Mrs. Chi in the face.

"Stop pretending." Lu Li didn't have a good impression of Mr. Chi.

"If you hadn't been having an affair with Chi Hanqing's best friend when her mother was pregnant, would you have been so angry that she would have died?"

When Mr. Chi heard this, he felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and it was burning with pain.

How could Mr. Chi bear being lectured by a girl who was almost the same age as his daughter? He was so angry that he said, "This is our family affair. It's not your turn to interfere."

"If you want to marry into the Long family, I'm sorry, but this matter is really under my jurisdiction." Lu Li smiled slightly.

"Let's not get married. Can't we just not get married?" Mrs. Chi screamed.

At that time, she thought Chi Hanqing was rescued by gangsters and wanted to marry her off. She didn't expect that the girl was so lucky to meet the prince's son.

Since her daughter can't marry the prince's son now, Chi Hanqing can forget about marrying him either.

"That's right, let's not get married. It's none of your business to interfere in our family affairs." Mr. Chi also nodded.

"I'm sorry, but I can take care of everything in the world." Lu Li smiled slightly and took out the token of Jinyiwei.

Mr. Chi was no illiterate man. After he saw the token clearly, he was so scared that he took several steps back.

"King's Guard? You are from the King's Guard?"

When Mrs. Chi heard these three words, she shuddered with fear.

Is it the Royal Guard?

It's over.

"Congratulations, you got it right." Lu Li smiled again.

"But unfortunately, there is no reward."

"It's not like there is no reward. According to Daxia laws, they can be rewarded with fifty strokes of the cane and exile." Feng Qi added with a smile.

Mr. Chi and Mrs. Chi: ???

What kind of reward is this?
