"But the two sisters still look unfamiliar with each other. I can't force Luo'er to do anything..."
While helping Li Chaojing take off his shoes and wash his feet, Qu Shi saw that Li Chaojing's brows were slightly furrowed again. Although Qu Shi was nervous, she still asked again, "Husband, do you have any opinion about Zhu'er?"
"You haven't seen Zhu'er since she came back. She's been heartbroken for days... Even if you value Luo'er now, you shouldn't neglect Zhu'er!"
Li Chaojing suddenly lost interest.
He stood up with wet feet and prepared to leave, but before he finished, he left a message to Qu: "I won't see Zhu'er until I have thoroughly investigated whether she has nothing to do with Chuan'er's broken leg!"
After saying that, Li Chaojing flicked his sleeves.
He originally planned to go to Lou's yard.
But when he thought about how old she was, he sighed and went to the study.
Red Maple Pavilion.
Li Qingluo was still reading when Nanny Deng came in and said, "Young lady, the master has gone to sleep in the study again."
Li Qingluo didn't even look up: "Have you found the person I asked you to help me find?"
Aunt Deng looked strange. "Are you really going to put someone in the master's room? He...he's your biological father! In this world, how can a daughter put someone in her own father's room?"
Li Qingluo turned a page in the book. "You've seen my father too. After my brother broke his leg, his hair turned half white overnight. I'm afraid he's been very depressed all day. But he also despises Concubine Lou for being old. What's wrong with me, his daughter, sharing his worries?"
"And Li Kechuan thinks that even though he has a broken leg, he is still the heir to the general's mansion. Since he is so arrogant, why don't I let my father have a few more sons?"
"Anyway, the General's Mansion will not be mine in the future."
Aunt Deng actually felt that what she said made some sense.
Seeing that the madam is unreliable, there is even less hope with the eldest son.
From now on, these girls will have no one to rely on in their parents' home except the old lady.
When the old lady passes away in a hundred years, won’t the girl not even have the support of her mother’s family?
Just like their old lady, all alone...
Anyway, the master is still in good health in his middle age, so it is not surprising at all if he has several more sons.
"Hey! I already have a few candidates here."
"Among them, there's a pretty good one. She was once the only daughter of an old scholar in Jinling City. It's said she had a fiancé, but a serious illness suddenly took him away. Then her parents died one after another, so she spent her whole life in mourning until she's become an old maid. Now she's about 27 or 28 years old!"
Li Qingluo then put the book down and showed a hint of interest: "How does it look? My father has quite picky tastes."
Aunt Lou still has her charm, but he looks down on her now.
Aunt Deng: "Of course she's good-looking. She's tall and plump, with bright eyes!"
Li Qingluo: "Let me see him if there's a chance."
The next day, Li Qingluo's injuries had improved a lot, so he went to Jingci Hall to pay his respects to Madam Pei.
Mrs. Pei invited her to dinner and gave her a box after the meal.
"Grandma, what is this?"
Madam Pei: "Take a look."
Li Qingluo didn't hesitate to open the box and took a look. Inside the box was a deed to a shop.
"Grandma! What is this...?"
Madam Pei smiled and said, "Grandma gave it to you, just take it."
Her grandmother actually wanted to give her a shop?
Li Qingluo only felt that the box in his hand suddenly became heavy.
She didn't know how to accept such a valuable item with peace of mind.
Madam Pei seemed to know what she was thinking: "Luo'er, do you still remember the teahouse where you were kidnapped?"
"Grandma is actually very worried. The teahouse's business was already getting worse, and now with the Lotus Sect's disturbance, it's been hit hard. I'm afraid it's going to be hard to recover from now on."
"Take it. If you can revitalize it, wouldn't that be a good thing? It can also relieve Grandma's worries. More importantly, aren't you short of money?"
Li Qingluo blushed: "Grandma, it seems like Luo'er is taking advantage of you."
Madam Pei stretched out her hand and let Li Qing fall beside her.
After Li Qingluo sat down beside her, she finally revealed something to him, "Grandmother has accumulated a bit of personal property over the years. Could it be that you want me to give it all to your father, or your brother, after a hundred years?"
"Grandma also wants to see your ability. If you are capable, I will give it to you later. What do you think?"
"Grandma doesn't care whether it's a girl or a boy, she only cares whether he has the ability!"
"But if it's Luo'er, and you don't have that talent for business, don't blame grandma for not leaving you a cent."
Although Li Qingluo didn't know how much private property his grandmother had, he could tell that she must have quite a lot of it since she had casually given him a large shop.
Li Qingluo also understood what her grandmother had revealed today.
It all depends on whether Li Qingluo can catch it.
If she couldn't take it over, no matter how her grandmother dealt with the private property in the future, it would have nothing to do with her.
But if she can catch it, isn't this an opportunity to prove herself?
Li Qingluo also didn't want to disappoint her grandmother.
She no longer refused, holding the box in her hand and replied, "Yes, Grandmother! Please give Luo'er some time. Luo'er will do her best to handle this matter."
After Li Qingluo left, Nanny Zhang asked Madam Pei, "Are you really planning to train this girl to be the heir to Tianfeng Trading Company?"
Madam Pei: "If I don't give it to her, will I really give it to those idiots? Luo'er has talent, whether it's business or martial arts. She has my blood, she won't let me down."
"By the way, when will Aunt Deng come back? Why is she dragging her feet when I ask her to come back and serve me?"
The wife suppresses the concubine, which is an absolute suppression of status. Old Aunt Deng can only be a slave in front of the old lady all her life.
Therefore, at the command of Old Madam Pei, even if Old Concubine Deng really became an old lady, she must hurry back to serve!
Aunt Zhang: "They say we have to wait two days before we can enter the city. I sent someone to keep a close eye on them. They say there's a lot of commotion at the farm, and they're quietly dealing with something."
Madam Pei snorted coldly, "But you really think I don't know about the little private property you've embezzled over the years? And you're dealing with it secretly. How petty and unpresentable!"
"Whatever it is, write it down! I'll make her spit it out later!"
Nanny Zhang agreed repeatedly.
"Madam, the master doesn't know about this yet. Are you sure you don't want to tell him?"
Madam Pei: "I asked that old fellow to come back and serve me. Why did I tell him that? He was reluctant to let him go back then, and now he doesn't want to see him anymore? Just let him go. Just bear with it!"
