Chapter 140
Li Zhiwei couldn't believe what she had just heard.
What did Madam Cao just say?
Would she marry Magistrate Cao as his concubine?
She really dares to dream!
Li Zhiwei was so angry she laughed.
"Madam Cao, is this your idea? Or Magistrate Cao's idea?" Li Zhiwei asked Madam Cao with a mocking look.
Li Zhiwei felt that Magistrate Cao should not have the face to ask her to marry him as a concubine.
Moreover, what gives him the audacity to think he would agree?
Just because he's so old?
Or is it because of his lowly ninth-rank official title?
“Miss Li, you should know that you are someone who has already been jilted. My master is still willing to take you as a concubine, which is already an honor for you,” Madam Tang said, looking at Li Zhiwei with an arrogant expression.
Qin, who was standing to the side, was also stunned by her sister-in-law's words.
If it weren't for what Li Zhiwei just said about Li Tianyou being a third-rank official, it would be fine. After all, Li Zhiwei comes from a merchant family, and even if she were to become the master's concubine, it would be an honor for her.
However, she was the only daughter of a third-rank official.
How dare Cao Yunpeng marry someone as a concubine?
It is said that a higher rank can be more powerful, but Li Tianyou's rank was more than just one rank higher.
Unfortunately, her own sister-in-law's arrogant expression made it difficult for her to comment on her.
"A compliment?" Li Zhiwei looked at Tang Shi with sarcasm, thinking to herself that she didn't need her compliment.
“Miss Li, for someone like you who was rejected by your fiancé, it is indeed an honor for Magistrate Cao to take you as his concubine,” Madam Jiang said with a hint of schadenfreude.
"Exactly, she was dumped, but the other guy is willing to marry her, and she's starting to look down on him?"
Soon, others stood up and spoke up for Madam Cao.
Madam Cao looked at Li Zhiwei with a smug expression, as if she knew that if Li Zhiwei didn't agree today, she would have no place in Li'an County in the future.
Li Zhiwei chuckled lightly.
She sneered inwardly. Did she really think that she would compromise like this?
“Miss Li, do you still think that your nobleman from the capital will come back to marry you? My husband is in his prime, how is he not good enough for you?” Madam Tang did not expect Li Zhiwei to react in this way.
“Madam, since your master is so good, keep it and enjoy it yourself!” Qingyue couldn’t help but step forward and said with a mocking expression.
"Where did this wild girl come from? What business is it of a servant like you to speak to your master?" Madam Tang was surprised that a servant of Li Zhiwei was actually behaving so arrogantly towards her.
"Guards, why aren't you slapping her? This Li family doesn't know how to teach their servants manners. I, the lady, don't mind doing it for them." As she spoke, Madam Tang ordered a servant to step forward and slap Qingyue's mouth.
"Heh, the Cao family? I had no idea. How could a mere ninth-rank official's wife dare to overstep her bounds and discipline servants for a third-rank official? Who gave you that audacity?" Qingyue said sarcastically.
Not to mention, even if Magistrate Cao himself came, she wouldn't be afraid, since it was Madam Tang, who was here today.
