"I've heard that Miss Li was originally going to marry into the capital, but for some reason the engagement was called off by her husband's family. We've watched Miss Li grow up, and we know her well. I'd like to ask on behalf of you, sir, to invite Miss Li to be your secondary wife. I wonder what your impression of her is?"
After speaking, Tang looked at Magistrate Cao with anticipation.
Magistrate Cao was taken aback at first.
Should he marry Li Zhiwei?
He had never thought of this before.
After all, everyone in Li'an County knew that Li Tianyou regarded Li Zhiwei as his most precious treasure.
How could he possibly agree to let Li Zhiwei marry him as a concubine?
But things are different now.
Li Zhiwei was rejected by her fiancé in the capital.
If I were to go and ask for your hand in marriage now, it would be a timely help in your time of need.
Moreover, she was promised the position of a secondary wife.
But Li Tianyou is no longer an ordinary merchant. Would he agree to this?
Magistrate Cao was conflicted about this.
If he could marry Li Zhiwei, Li Tianyou would definitely promote him.
Perhaps I won't have to wait those three to five years to climb the ladder.
"Who told you this?" Magistrate Cao then thought of the child who was with Li Zhiwei, who was said to be the heir of Prince An from the capital.
Also accompanying them were royal bodyguards.
If this matter is not handled properly, it may leave a stain on our reputation.
Although Magistrate Cao wanted to climb the ranks, he was unwilling to take any risks.
"My lord, I naturally have my own methods. I only ask you, are you willing to marry Miss Li?" Madam Tang said in a tone that suggested she was unwilling to say more.
"If I could marry Miss Li, my career would surely go much further!" Magistrate Cao said without hesitation.
After all, this deal is definitely not a loss.
At that time, I will have the support of the Tang family and the help of the Li family.
It's hard not to go far in one's official career.
Upon hearing this, Tang's face darkened; he knew that Magistrate Cao had long harbored this idea.
Having so many wives and concubines in the mansion wasn't enough for him; he also wanted to marry Li Zhiwei.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely handle this matter for you. You just need to wait to marry Miss Li into the manor!" Madam Tang said confidently.
"Well, you should find a way to go to your home and talk to them properly about this matter," Magistrate Cao said with a smile.
"My lord, I plan to hold a flower-viewing banquet in three days. I will invite Miss Li to attend, and we will ask her questions in person," Madam Tang said with a smile.
"I trust Madam to handle things!" Magistrate Cao said with satisfaction.
Thinking of Li Zhiwei's delicate and tender skin.
I'm itching to get back to work.
He only hoped to marry Li Zhiwei into his household as soon as possible.
"However, the Li family has prospered now. Li Tianyou has somehow gotten lucky and become a third-rank official. The people you send should be more vigilant and not offend the wrong people." Magistrate Cao thought of the Prince of An's heir and the royal guards.
I don't know if they also live at the Li family's house.
I don't know what their relationship is, but it's always best not to offend them.
