Mrs. Qu shook her head. "They just asked someone to come and ask a few questions, and also sent a lot of precious medicinal herbs. Master, if the Cui family really is..."
Li Chaojing sighed heavily. "Even if they really want to cancel the engagement, what can I do? However, since they haven't mentioned this matter yet, let's not take the initiative to speak."
If they lose the Cui family, Chuan'er might never be able to find a good marriage in his life.
Li Chaojing didn't want his own son to suffer the same hardships he had suffered in the past.
"The Cui family is a truly prestigious family. If they cancel the engagement after seeing Chuan'er suffer misfortune, they will be the ones to be scolded by the world. The Cui family has strict rules and I'm afraid they won't make such a decision lightly. Let's just wait and see what happens."
"Huh? Where did this come from?"
As Li Chaojing spoke, his eyes finally fell on the pile of handwritten scriptures on the table.
Mrs. Qu: "Luo'er brought this to me this morning. She said it was a birthday gift she prepared for me, and she only had the chance to give it to me today."
Li Chaojing stared at the words without blinking.
Mrs. Qu sighed softly, "She's thoughtful. She even went to see Chuan'er this morning, even though Chuan'er... is still like that, he can't bear to even look at Luo'er."
Li Chaojing didn't say anything.
Seeing that she was staring at the calligraphy, Qu said, "Master, do you think... this calligraphy looks a bit like your own?"
Li Chaojing: "No, it's like my mother's handwriting."
Qu was secretly surprised.
Since it is my mother's font?
Li Chaojing's writing style is also like this, so Qu felt that the word looked familiar.
But wasn’t the relationship between the master and his mother very bad when he was a child?
Why does his handwriting resemble his mother's?
What Li Chaojing didn't say was that he did get a copy of calligraphy from his mother when he was young.
But at that time, he really looked down on his mother. He thought that women should be as gentle and virtuous as Deng, take care of the family and be considerate, respect their mother-in-law and love their children. But he felt it was shameful for a rude woman like his mother to go to the battlefield and fight.
Therefore, he looked down upon the calligraphy his mother gave him and threw it back on the spot.
But later, he broke his mother's heart, and his father was unable to keep her, so she left home in anger...
It was too late for him to realize how difficult it was for his mother and when he wanted his biological mother again, it was already too late.
Later, he found some letters his mother had sent back from the battlefield, looked at the words on them, and gradually began to learn her handwriting.
"It seems that mother is very attentive in educating Luo'er."
Li Chaojing sighed.
Qu Shi hesitated and said, "Yes, Master. I saw Luo'er today, and she has changed a lot. Not only has she become more beautiful, but her temperament has also become much more generous."
Li Chaojing's eyes tightened: "...Oh?"
Mrs. Qu: "Shouldn't the marriage between our family and the Marquis of Zhongyi be finalized?"
Red Maple Pavilion.
After Li Qingluo returned, she had just sat down to drink a sip of tea when Cui'er ran over in panic, knelt down and said, "Miss, I have made a big mistake!"
It turned out that Li Qingluo had not prepared the "The Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" for Qu at all. Li Qingluo had originally copied it stroke by stroke for Mrs. Pei and was going to present it to Tanshan Temple.
What she gave to Qu was actually a hundred words of "filial piety" written by her in a rather perfunctory manner!
Although it is similar to Lou's, it is just a calligraphy practice, and she can do it!
The intention behind this is different from the scripture I gave to my grandmother.
As a result, when Cui'er got up in the morning to take it, she carelessly put it in the wrong place.
It was such a coincidence that even if you took it by mistake, there is naturally no reason to take it back.
Li Qingluo could only sigh and say, "Never mind. It's wrong. I'll just make a new copy for Grandmother and then donate it to the temple."
Outside the window, Mrs. Pei couldn't help but nodded when she heard these words.
Deng stood quietly by, looking around anxiously.
After Madam Pei quietly left the Red Maple Pavilion, Nanny Deng hurried forward and asked, "Madam, since you're here, why don't you ask the young lady to come out and serve you? She's been missing you so much these past few days that she's almost lost her appetite."
Madam Pei pointed at Madam Deng and showed it to Madam Zhang. "Look at her. She's only been at Luo'er's Red Maple Pavilion for a little over two months, and she's already completely changed her mind. Look at you, you really want me to give your indenture to Luo'er as well, right?!"
Aunt Deng was startled. Oh no, could their old lady really have turned into an eagle?
"Oh, old lady, you are really wronging me. I am not seeing you. You are clearly concerned about the girl, but you won't even let her see you. Are you afraid that if you continue like this, there will be a rift between you and the girl?"
Madam Pei stared at Madam Deng with a look that said, "Let's see how long you can keep pretending."
Nanny Deng couldn't help wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Finally, Madam Pei turned and left without saying a word, without even letting Li Qingluo look at her. She even forbade Madam Deng to tell Li Qingluo that she had followed her to Lancang Courtyard and returned to Hongfeng Pavilion today.
Seeing that she was so calm and composed, and that she would obviously have a place in this family soon, Mrs. Pei was very pleased.
When she got back, she sighed to Aunt Zhang, "Forget it. She's the little wild cat I want to protect myself. Do I really have to cut her claws until they're bloody just to protect her?"
"Since you've pissed her off, if she wants to show off, then let her do so. But the consequences will be more severe."
"I abandoned the Li family long ago. Isn't it too late to worry about my future offspring now? It's not for my own benefit."
"After all, my last name isn't Li."
"Saving him alive is already the most benevolent thing we can do."
With this, Mrs. Pei finally persuaded herself.
The next day, when Li Qingluo went to pay her respects again, she finally had a happy breakfast with her grandmother.
During the meal, Madam Pei suddenly said to Li Qingluo, "Luo'er, do you still remember when Grandmother promised you to come down the mountain, but in exchange for asking you to do something for me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Qingluo put down her chopsticks and immediately sat properly. "Yes, Grandmother. I've always kept this in mind. As long as Grandmother doesn't force me to marry into the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion, I'm willing to do anything."
Madam Pei rolled her eyes at her. "You're so beautiful. Marrying into the Zhongyi Marquis's mansion is your parents' order and the matchmaker's words. As long as the Zhongyi Marquis's mansion is willing to abide by the marriage agreement, how can you get away with it? Grandmother doesn't need to force you on this matter!"
Li Qingluo: "..."
Madam Pei cleared her throat and suddenly spoke with great respect, "My family, the Pei family, the Pei family. Have you ever heard of them?"
