Chapter 193
Even Yao Qisheng looked at his younger sister.
Mrs. Yao never expected that her daughter would ask for her opinion.
At this time last year, she wouldn't have dared to even consider the possibility of going to the capital.
But now, her husband has gone to the capital.
Her daughter is still asking for her opinion, wanting her to go to the capital with her.
“Wei’er, look, even your mother isn’t familiar with the capital.” Madam Yao smiled. She had lived in Qujing since birth, and later, after marrying Li Tianyou, she came to Li’an County.
Now that she is familiar with everything in Li'an County, if you ask her if she is willing to leave here and go to the capital, Yao's eyes are filled with confusion.
“Grandmother, why don’t you go to the capital with Qingshi? The capital is very big, and Qingshi can take you to eat good food.” Xu Qingshi said, tugging at Yao’s clothes.
“Mother-in-law, now that Father-in-law is also an official in the capital, he will likely be living there from now on. If you go to the capital, it will be easier for Zhiwei and me to take care of you both,” Xu Heming advised.
“Sister, your husband is not the same as before. He is now an official of the imperial court. He should have a mistress to help manage everything in the mansion. It’s not good for you to stay in Li’an County all the time. Aren’t you afraid that someone will try to bribe your husband?” Yao Qisheng thought for a moment and said to his sister.
Although Li Tianyou had not taken any concubines for many years, he was just a merchant at that time. Even if someone wanted to put women in his possession, they would only be women who were originally courtesans and were not respectable.
Li Tianyou had no idea either.
But now, he's only a second-rank official!
The highest-ranking official he had ever met was only a fourth-rank official. He probably wouldn't even dare to raise his head if he saw a second-rank official.
But now, he has a brother-in-law who is a second-rank official. No wonder his son has developed inappropriate desires for his niece.
Fortunately, his niece and sister did not blame him, but even so, he put everything aside and rushed to Li'an County to apologize.
This relationship must not be implicated because of this.
Yao, who had been somewhat hesitant, became unsettled upon hearing this.
She believed in Li Tianyou, but even if she believed him, she couldn't guarantee that others wouldn't have ulterior motives.
If I stay in Li'an County for a long time in a place like the capital, will he really find a new love?
And she was forgotten in Li'an County?
Just like the stories in picture books, when a man becomes a high-ranking official in the capital, he has to abandon his wife who has shared his hardships at home.
"Will my going to the capital cause you trouble?" Yao was also a little hesitant.
My daughter is so lucky now; she's found a good family.
But with my status, wouldn't I be out of place in a place like the capital?
Will this make my daughter look down on by her in-laws?
Thinking of this, Yao felt very uneasy. If it would really cause trouble for her daughter, she would rather stay in Li'an County and live out the rest of her life like this.
"Mother, what are you saying? Of course, I'm eager for you to go to the capital. Besides, I need you to arrange my marriage!" Li Zhiwei sighed. She hadn't expected her mother to have this concern. As she spoke, she glared at Xu Heming.
“Mother-in-law, now that you’ve gone to the capital, Zhiwei and I can ask you for help with anything we don’t understand, right? Besides, my mother is getting old, and we’ll need your help with our child in the future,” Xu Heming said righteously.
Li Zhiwei blushed; they weren't even married yet, and she was already thinking about having children.
This man actually took advantage of me!
“That’s right, sister, you can’t expect your husband to handle Zhiwei’s marriage arrangements, can you? Right now, he’s an official in the court, and he must be very busy. He can’t possibly be as meticulous as you, a woman.” Yao Qisheng quickly advised.
"Alright then!" Madam Yao thought for a moment. No matter what, she should arrange her daughter's marriage herself. The Marquis of Ruan's family had already bullied her daughter once before, so this time, she had to make sure her daughter married into the Prince of An's family in a grand and glorious manner.
Yao's relenting brought a sigh of relief to everyone.
Xu Qingshi was especially pleased.
