"But does Second Sister know? I saw her chatting and laughing with Shang Zhiping yesterday. Maybe she really has something on her mind."
"Don't worry, I went to explain it to your sister before I came here. It was just a temporary chat. Although it was a little awkward, I quickly got over it. Don't you know your sister's personality?"
Li Yuanmei was still a little uncertain after hearing this.
Seeing this, Mrs. Li had no choice but to clapped her hands and then made a solemn promise.
"Can I still deceive you? Just wait and see. It won't be long before your sister comes to congratulate you on your marriage."
Although Li Yuanmei had known about getting married for a long time, she was still a little uncomfortable with the fact that it was settled so quickly. Before she could figure it out, Shang Zhiping's betrothal gifts had already flown into the yard where she lived.
Not only is it piled high, but it’s also full of good things. You can see the Gu family’s care and effort!
Mrs. Li, who was standing by, watched and kept talking.
"I thought they were an orphan and a widow living in the general's mansion, and didn't have much good things to rely on. Now it seems that they have put a lot of thought into you. If you marry her, you won't have to suffer financially. We have many children in our family, so we can't give you much as a dowry, but mother will do her best to make your marriage decent!"
Listening to Mrs. Li's words, Li Yuanmei didn't feel very happy in her heart, but she was curious about marrying Shang Zhiping. She didn't look at her future husband carefully yesterday.
If she had known that she would end up in their house, she would not have wasted such a good opportunity.
At least before getting married, I could understand a little bit about the person I would get along with in the future. Now, I am completely in the dark, and it really feels like a blind marriage.
"elder sister."
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her from behind. Li Yuanmei turned around and saw Li Yuanjiao. She looked normal with a smile on her face. She walked over and spoke loudly.
"This future brother-in-law is really generous. We can rest assured when my sister marries him."
"Yuan Jiao, are you alright?"
"What can I do? I just said a few extra words yesterday. I don't take it to heart. Sister, don't think too much about it. But they hurriedly decided on this marriage just one day ago. It shows that their family is very satisfied with you. I sincerely hope that you can live a peaceful and harmonious life after marriage and have no worries for the rest of your life!"
The two sisters grew up together and their love for each other is unmatched by others, so when they heard this, Mrs. Li and Li Yuanmei felt relieved.
Except for the two families who were immersed in the joy of their engagement, everyone else in Sui'an City was confused by this sudden marriage.
The Li family's daughter and Shang Zhiping can be considered a match made in heaven.
Although Shang Zhiping's family background is higher, in terms of real power, the Duke's Mansion is not as good as the Li family, so this marriage is a very good one.
Mrs. Li, the wife of the Minister, was still drinking tea and chatting with her mother-in-law in the Earl's Mansion when she heard that her own family had even accepted the betrothal gifts. She was so surprised that she couldn't help but laugh.
"General Gu and his wife are really impatient. When we were on the boat on our way back, Mrs. Gu told me that it had only been a few days, and they had already finalized it. They are indeed quick and decisive people, and they do things without dragging their feet."
It is a great thing for the Countess that the Li family has such a close relationship with Gu Shaoyu and others. After all, this help will eventually become a help to their family. To put it bluntly, their grandchildren will have more hope, so they are naturally happy.
So he immediately gave instructions to his daughter-in-law Li.
"It's a good thing that the two children can get engaged. Go to the storehouse and pick out some good things to send over. This will fulfill your intention as an aunt, and also convey the intention of our Earl's Mansion. If the two families get along, we will all be happy."
"Don't worry, mother-in-law, your daughter-in-law understands."
The people in Earl Weiyuan's Mansion were happy, but the Prince Fu's Mansion, which was not far away, was not so happy.
"He can marry into the Li family? Are the people in the Li family blind? Or did Gu Shaoyu take advantage of his power to put pressure on them? Otherwise, how could they agree?!"
As soon as Princess Fu learned the news, she immediately sent someone to pick up her mother, Madam Wei, so it was she who was cursing this time.
She knew Shang Zhiping's personality and character very well. He had deliberately wanted to raise his child to be of that character, so that the world could see that Gu was the original wife, so what? Wouldn't the offspring be equally unpresentable?
Why did the situation change after he went to Jinling City? Apart from other things, if he married the eldest daughter of the Li family, it would be more reasonable for him to take over the Duke's Mansion. At this moment, Madam Wei regretted abusing Shang Yukuan so much. After all, if he could still live in good health, she might be able to instigate some more trouble.
One wrong move leads to all wrong steps.
If Shang Yukuan really died, wouldn't she be giving Shang Zhiping a position for nothing? Then what about her grandson Shang Zhihe? The marriage of the Li family caught her off guard, so she was a little confused at the moment, holding her daughter, Princess Fu's hand, like a life-saving straw.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Can we do something to ruin this marriage?"
Like Madam Wei, Princess Fu did not want Shang Zhiping to get such a big deal, because it meant that the Duke's Mansion would no longer be under her control, so naturally she had the same idea as Madam Wei.
"Don't worry, mother. It's just an engagement. Even if she gets married, she won't necessarily live a stable life. Shang Zhiping is a piece of shit. How dare he covet the position of Duke? As long as father is alive, we have a chance to make up for it!"
"That's what I said, but how can I stop it?"
"Mother is confused. He won't get married in the General's Mansion like that bitch Xue Niang. He will definitely go back to the Duke's Mansion. You just happened to use this as an excuse to call them back. Once they enter the Duke's Mansion, we have the final say on whether to beat or kill them. We will also send him off the same way his grandmother died. Anyway, his father was also a short-lived man. If he has any hidden illness that is passed on to his son, it won't be surprising."
Princess Fu was still thinking of the same trick, secretly drugging her, just as they had done many times before.
Mrs. Wei's eyes sharpened and she also thought that her daughter's idea was good.
She used the same trick, even though it was a bit old, but as long as it was useful enough, she didn't care!
So, after exchanging a glance with Princess Fu, he felt much better and started talking quickly.
"That's right. If I, as a step-grandmother, don't take charge of such a good thing, I will be sorry for my deceased sisters!"
