Chapter 179
"You just said that Weiwei is discussing marriage with the Marquis of Ru'an's family?" Yao Qisheng suddenly remembered that he had heard someone mention it before.
The Marquis of Ru'an's family wanted to exploit a merchant family's childless heir, but they ended up being outmaneuvered by the merchant's daughter.
Could it be that the Marquis of Ru'an's family originally intended to scheme against his niece?
“Uncle, my marriage to the Marquis of Ru’an’s family didn’t go through, and the Emperor bestowed a marriage upon me instead,” Li Zhiwei quickly said.
After all, the marriage with the Lin family was too troublesome, and it's all in the past now.
There's no need to bring it up again.
"Yes, it's because my uncle is useless." Yao Qisheng felt a little annoyed when he thought of this. If he had power and influence, the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion probably wouldn't dare to make a move on his niece.
Not to mention eating offspring whose children have no descendants.
Thinking of this, Yao Qisheng looked at his younger sister again. Li Tianyou, putting aside everything else, was genuinely good to his sister. Over the years, the Li family had risen so high, but he had never been seen with any other women.
Even though his younger sister couldn't give birth to a son for Li Tianyou, Li Tianyou always treated her the same.
Thinking of this, Yao Qisheng said to Li Zhiwei, "Weiwei, your mother and I have some private things to discuss. Would you be so kind as to do us a favor?"
“Of course it is.” Li Zhiwei never doubted that her uncle would do anything to harm her mother.
After all, that was his own uncle.
Although she hadn't seen her uncle much over the years, it must be said that every year, her uncle would send a lot of good things to her and her mother in Li'an County.
"Brother, is there something you want to say to me?" After watching Li Zhiwei leave, Madam Yao looked at Yao Qisheng with some confusion and asked.
Thinking to himself, he figured his older brother probably wanted to ask about his daughter's marriage.
I'm afraid it's inconvenient to say this if Li Zhiwei is here.
“Little sister, we grew up together. Our parents passed away a long time ago. If you find any of what I’m about to say unpleasant, please don’t take it to heart,” Yao Qisheng said carefully, looking at his younger sister.
"Brother, just say what you want to say." Seeing her elder brother's serious demeanor, Yao felt a little nervous.
However, she believed that her older brother would not harm her.
“Sister, we have all seen how sincere Tianyou has been to you over the years. Now that Weiwei is getting older, she will eventually have to get married. Have you ever thought about having Tianyou have a few more children?” Yao Qisheng looked at his sister and said carefully.
Madam Yao was taken aback. She hadn't expected that her elder brother would advise her to take a concubine for her husband.
"Brother, I am your own sister!" Yao said with some disappointment.
"I'm only saying this to you because you're my own sister. If it were anyone else, they would just laugh at the fact that your Li family line is about to end," Yao Qisheng said, exasperated.
"Why was Weiwei chosen by the Marquis of Ru'an? Isn't it because the Li family has no sons? I know my sister is not in good health. Why don't you arrange for Tianyou to take a few concubines? When they have children, you can raise them under their care. In the future, if anything happens to Weiwei, her brothers can support her, right?" Yao Qisheng advised again.
“Brother, I have mentioned this to the master before, but he disagreed. From now on, everything in the Li family will belong to Wei’er.” Madam Yao clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
I feel terrible.
She also wanted to give the old man a son to inherit the Li family business.
However, she had already exerted a great deal of effort to give birth to Weiwei, and afterwards her body was severely depleted, making it difficult for her to conceive again. At that time, she was about to arrange for her husband to take a concubine.
It's the master who's unwilling.
