Chapter 416 Zheng Jiaojiao Lost Something
"Our Jiaojiao has been clamoring to see her sister Li ever since she came back that day. She said that Sister Li is not only beautiful, but also kind and thoughtful. She likes her very much."
Madam Li smiled and said, "I like Jiaojiao, too."
It was just a light and perfunctory sentence.
He was almost embarrassed, and even Old Lady Zheng beside her looked a little darker.
After Madam Li left, Old Lady Zheng looked at He coldly, "I know you're attracted to the second son of the Li family and want Jiaojiao to be your son-in-law, but you also have to know that we in the Zheng family can't be so servile in front of others just because we want to get married. What kind of person is that?"
These words were a bit harsh to hear, and He felt aggrieved.
"Mother, Madam Li expressed her desire to marry last time. Plus, Jiaojiao likes Li Er, so I'm hoping it will work out."
"Grandma, my granddaughter likes to make the second young master the heir." Jiaojiao said quickly.
Looking at the mother and daughter, Old Mrs. Zheng really regretted that she had not been cruel enough to raise Jiaojiao in her own house. Now she was raised by He Shi and became so superficial, which was really hard to bear.
"That's enough."
"Grandma!" Zheng Jiaojiao insisted, "It's rare for my granddaughter to fall in love with someone, so why don't you take the initiative? Madam Li will definitely not refuse for your sake."
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Ci raised her eyelids and couldn't help but look at Zheng Jiaojiao.
Old Lady Zheng had to bow to Madam Li and allow Li Er to marry Zheng Jiaojiao. They hadn't thought of that. For the sake of marriage, they had trampled on the entire Duke's Mansion's reputation. These mother and daughter were completely clueless.
"For the sake of a man, you actually want our Duke's Mansion to bow down to them and establish a family. I think you have lost your minds." After saying this, Old Lady Zheng turned around and left angrily, not intending to pay any attention to them.
Song Ci hurriedly caught up and comforted her, "Grandma, don't be angry."
Old Mrs. Zheng looked at her with relief. "It's not that Grandmother is angry, it's just that these mother and daughter are so confused. The Li family clearly has someone more suitable and doesn't want this marriage, but they still keep trying to get ahead. It's really intolerable."
"Granddaughter knows."
After Mrs. Zheng left for a while, her anger subsided a little, and she took Song Ci with her to greet people in the crowd.
Everyone was surprised as to why Pei Ji's wife was with Old Lady Zheng and seemed so close to her.
Old Mrs. Zheng didn't waste any time and quickly explained the reason.
"The third child who was lost in my family many years ago has been found. Song Ci is the daughter of the third child, my granddaughter."
Everyone gasped and their eyes changed when they looked at Song Ci. This person was so lucky.
When she married Pei Ji, her family background was not prominent and everyone said that she was not worthy of Pei Ji or the Pei family. But in the blink of an eye, she became the daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. Now, this status makes her very compatible with Pei Ji.
Everyone congratulated Mrs. Zheng, and she accepted it with a smile, her face full of pride.
Who made me have a good granddaughter!
Her granddaughter is good-looking, married well, and outstanding in all aspects. She is much better than the few simpletons in the family.
I must make them change their last name back tomorrow. It's time to hold a formal recognition ceremony.
——
"Mom, what should we do if grandma doesn't help us?" Zheng Jiaojiao stomped her feet.
"Your grandmother only has your third uncle and Song Ci now."
He was also angry. Seeing Old Lady Zheng taking Song Ci away without any mercy, she became even more anxious and angry.
This daughter-in-law of mine is even worse than the stranger I just met a few days ago.
"Mother, my daughter likes the second young master to be the heir, I..."
"You useless thing, Li Er is just a little better looking."
Zheng Jiaojiao blushed as she thought of Li Er's appearance. "He's not only good-looking, but also talented. He's bound to achieve great things in the future."
Mrs. He was a little skeptical, as Li Er's reputation spread far and wide, and everyone praised his outstanding looks, saying his appearance was comparable to that of an immortal.
But since her daughter liked it, Mrs. He couldn't do anything.
"Don't worry, remember what mother told you today, as long as the matter is accomplished, you can take the headgear back later. Madam Li will not disagree."
Zheng Jiaojiao blinked and said, "Okay, I will listen to you."
"Don't worry." Madam He touched her daughter's face. "You are my only daughter. Whatever you want, I will do my best to give it to you."
"Mom, you've been the best to me." Zheng Jiaojiao rubbed Madam He's hand, "I will definitely be filial to you in the future."
These words made Mrs. He very happy, and she thought that her love for her daughter was not in vain.
Song Ci was tired from walking, so Old Mrs. Zheng chatted with her old friends, and Song Ci went out for a walk alone. The Li family's house was well-renovated, with pavilions, towers, carved dragons and painted buildings. Even every door was carved with different beautiful meanings.
"The Li family doesn't look like they have a very poor family background," said Song Ci.
"Madam, you don't know." Tian'er lowered her voice, "In the Li family, every young lady and young master is beautiful. That's why many families in the capital want to marry her."
"How beautiful must it be to be so exaggerated?"
"Every young lady is so charming that men are in a state of confusion, and every young man is so handsome." Tian'er smiled, "Madam, you will know once you see it."
Song Ci was extremely curious. As she was speaking, someone said, "Miss Li and Mr. Li are here."
Across a corridor, a young lady and a young man came from the arch bridge, both with smiling faces and slender figures.
Song Ci took a look and finally understood why Tian'er's smile was a little teasing.
This young lady was charming, but lacked the grace of a noble family. Her every move was alluring, yet not the demeanor expected of a young lady from an aristocratic family. The young man was handsome, but the weather was not hot. He waved his folding fan, a lock of hair falling from his forehead, and the incense filled his nose from afar.
The movements were feminine, and it seemed as if the young man was raised in the same way as a girl.
It’s hard to describe Song Dynasty porcelain in a few words.
This establishment of a family is really unexpected.
Tian'er: "Madam, the young lady and young master of this family are extraordinary, aren't they?"
Wanxiang frowned, "They don't look like a young man and a young lady, but more like an oiran and a male prostitute."
She blurted out, then realized she had spoken out of turn, and slapped her lips, "It was I who was talking nonsense."
Song Ci shook her head, looking thoughtful. "I don't think what you said is wrong, but I have to be careful about others hearing it."
Wanxiang: "Yes, ma'am."
The three were about to go back when Zheng Jiaojiao came towards them with an anxious look on her face.
"Sister Song."
There was sweat on her forehead, and it was obvious that she had come in a hurry.
"You are so anxious, has something happened?" Song Ci asked.
"Sister Song, I lost the sachet I brought with me." She had tears in her eyes. "There are so many people here, I searched for it for a long time but couldn't find it. This thing is my daughter's personal belonging. If someone picks it up, my reputation will be ruined..."
After saying that, he looked at Song Ci expectantly.
After listening to this, Song Ci smiled and said, "I don't know where my sister lost her. Why don't I help her find it?"
