Chapter Five
The old princess rolled her eyes at her grandson, who had no sense of propriety; the other party was deliberately trying to intimidate the girl.
Since they've come to your door to propose, they must be genuinely interested.
However, thinking of the dowry filling the courtyard, the old princess suddenly seemed to understand why the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion wanted to marry the Li family's daughter.
However, considering the inaction of the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion, she couldn't bring herself to ask her grandson to send the person back now.
"Young lady, since you are the new bride of the Marquis of Ru'an's family, the Marquis of Ru'an's family will surely send someone to pick you up soon," the old princess said with a smile to Li Zhiwei.
Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei felt a pang of guilt; it seemed the old princess had no intention of helping her.
Li Zhiwei sighed inwardly, thinking that, well, there was no reason for anyone to help her out of her position.
“Grandmother, the heir of the Marquis of Ru’an got married three days ago. You even sent Uncle Liu to deliver the congratulatory gift. Have you forgotten?” Xu Qingshi said with dissatisfaction.
The old princess then remembered that there seemed to be such a thing, and then looked at Li Zhiwei: "Do you have a marriage certificate with the Marquis of Ru'an's family?"
The old princess thought to herself, "Could it be that the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion intends for this Li family girl to become the Marquis of Ru'an's heir as a concubine?"
But if a concubine makes such a grand display, then it's no wonder that people won't let her into the household. A concubine's dowry cannot exceed that of the mistress. Besides, how many mistresses in the capital have such a large dowry of 1,360 loads?
"Yes, Your Highness, this is the marriage certificate between the Marquis of Ru'an and me." Without thinking, Li Zhiwei took out the marriage certificate from her sleeve. She didn't know why the marriage certificate was on her. Logically, this thing should have been included in her dowry.
But she just carried it with her casually.
The old princess took the marriage certificate, looked at it, and it did indeed state that she would marry him as her principal wife.
Thinking back to three days ago, the Lin family said that the young master was going to marry a principal wife. However, this was their family matter, and as an outsider, it was not appropriate for her to interfere.
However, it's obvious that this girl was tricked by the Lin family.
"Xu Qingshi, have you gotten into trouble again?" Xu Heming, who had been summoned back by the old princess, felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the red silks that filled the courtyard.
He didn't know if it was the old princess forcing him to get married, or if that brat Xu Qingshi was just getting envious again.
Moreover, he just saw that there was a very long queue outside the mansion.
Does Xu Qingshi want to bankrupt the Xu family?
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingshi shrank back and hid behind the old princess, pleading, "Grandmother, I really want a mother. Besides, this older sister is so beautiful. How well-matched she is with Father! In the future, if they give me a younger brother or sister, they will definitely be very good-looking too." Xu Qingshi didn't really understand what she meant.
However, he remembered that Wei and Rui's mother were not good-looking, so he was born not good-looking either.
The old princess, who was initially somewhat indignant, carefully examined Li Zhiwei upon hearing this, and to her surprise, the girl was indeed quite beautiful.
In an instant, the old princess was also a little excited.
Don't ask why Xu Qingshi likes good-looking people. Not only is he good-looking himself, but it's also hereditary. The old princess didn't like ugly people.
“Young lady, why don’t you consider my son?” the old princess asked somewhat impulsively.
Only after the words were spoken did the old princess regret her words.
However, since these words have already been said, it's not impossible.
She had never heard of the Li family the girl mentioned, so she figured they weren't some powerful or influential family. She figured her son could marry into that family without a second thought.
If the Marquis of Ru'an's family really dares to come and cause trouble, she is more than capable of cleaning up the mess for her daughter-in-law.
