Li Xianxian turned to look at her mother.
He immediately threw himself into Madam Li's arms: "Mother, I knew you would always be on my side, hehe."
Madam Li looked at her little girl in her arms and chuckled softly.
How could I not understand the child I gave birth to?
He's never been one to cause trouble, and he's always been very considerate of the two of them.
So even if she finds a man she likes outside, his character and appearance will definitely not be bad.
Li Tangjue watched as Madam Li held Li Xianxian with doting affection, and felt nothing but envy, jealousy, and resentment.
Why is it that my father and Li Xianxian's father are both born to the same mother?
Why is my own father so stupid and dumb as a pig?
He accomplished nothing and could only rely on his uncle for support, while his mother had no family to help her.
She was neither a daughter of an official nor had a good family background or the means to resist.
The more I thought about it, the angrier I got.
Why should I?!
This is all unfair. No matter what, I am a hundred times better than Li Xianxian.
Why is it that her background isn't as good as Li Xianxian's?
Now that she finally has a chance to trample Li Xianxian underfoot, how could she possibly give up this opportunity to mock her?
Thinking of this, she rolled her eyes.
"What's the use of your belief? If you're so capable, let her tell us whose son he is."
"He's probably from a poor family. There are tons of poor scholars out there, and aren't many of them just dreaming of marrying into wealth?"
After saying that, he gave Li Xianxian a mocking look, thinking to himself, "Now you'll finally be angered by me, won't you?"
But he didn't see what he wanted to see on Li Xianxian's face.
Instead, the woman in front of him burst out laughing.
"How much you wish I would find those down-on-my-luck people or poor scholars."
However, this time I couldn't get what you wanted. I'm looking for the eldest son of the Princess's mansion, how about that?
However, to be fair, you two were belittling the impoverished family.
If the young princess finds out, shouldn't you be punished?
When Lord Li heard his daughter say that, his eyes widened in surprise.
He quickly turned to his daughter and asked, "Daughter, tell me what exactly happened? Is the eldest son of the Princess's mansion that top scholar?"
Madam Li was also getting anxious at this point. What kind of status did the Princess's Mansion hold?
He is a household name in the capital.
Not only is the young princess a favorite of the emperor, but more importantly, she is the disciple of a deity!
That person possesses immortal powers, and most importantly, he is the Grand Preceptor of a nation, the highest-ranking figure besides the Emperor.
Now my own daughter says she's fallen for that kind of guy's brother.
Lord Li suddenly seemed to have thought of something and sighed.
If the daughter takes a fancy to the son of an official from an ordinary family, that's fine.
But since he happens to be the eldest son of the princess's family, things become complicated.
The second wives standing nearby all scoffed at these words.
"I thought he was some down-on-his-luck guy. Turns out, he was just trying to eat swan meat like a toad."
Don't you even know how low your father's official position is? You actually dare to covet the eldest son of the princess's family.
If I were you, I should give up on this idea as soon as possible. If I stubbornly cling to you, I'll end up being beaten to death by that little princess.
But don't say, "We didn't remind you!"
Lord Li spoke softly: "Xianxian, it's not that your father disagrees with this matter."
Instead, the top scholar had heard that a daughter of a high-ranking official had approached him, but the official had refused to agree to marry her.
I heard from the eldest son of the princess's mansion that he doesn't want to get married right now.
Saying this was essentially a rejection; she was the daughter of a high-ranking official, someone we from humble families couldn't compare to.
He finished speaking with a regretful expression.
Madam Li gave her husband a reproachful look from the side.
If this were any other ordinary matter, it would be fine to put it bluntly.
How can something like this be said so bluntly?
What if your own daughter heard this and started threatening to kill herself?
"Daughter, don't listen to your father. But this kind of thing requires mutual consent."
Feelings are the most inexplicable thing; only he can tell if he's attracted to you.
You see, he was also interested, which is why the two parties were able to reach an agreement so easily.
Even if you're the best person in the world, someone who doesn't want to settle down so quickly might not be willing to get married.
Let's look at something else first!
Li Xianxian naturally understood her parents' concerns.
"Father, Mother, you're overthinking it. He'll be coming to propose marriage in the next couple of days."
Upon hearing this, the second wife immediately retorted: "You really know how to flatter yourself. You think people will come just because you say so?"
They don't even know their place, yet they say such things. It would be one thing if they said it to our faces.
If this gets back to the young princess in front of others, we'll all be implicated.
Li Xianxian looked at her second aunt and was speechless at her sharp and mean face.
From childhood to adulthood, this second aunt has always wanted her daughter to compare herself to her.
No matter what it is, he always wants to be one step ahead of her daughter, yet he never gives up.
Now even something as important as getting married is compared; I really don't understand what they're thinking.
"Second Aunt, I'm not just making this up; I got a promise from them personally."
After saying this, she turned to look at her father: "Dad, you should know Xianxian's character."
If this matter hadn't been settled, Xianxian certainly wouldn't have spoken nonsense.
So rest assured, I have received a positive answer. Do you two not know my character?
Moreover, the future little princess will be my sister-in-law.
People say that sisters-in-law don't get along, but my marriage to Young Master Su was actually arranged by the young princess!
In other words, I indirectly received the young princess's approval. Since that's the case, I'm sure I won't be bullied if I marry into the princess's household.
Besides, how could you two not trust Young Master Su's character?
After Li Xianxian finished speaking, she nestled shyly in her mother's arms.
Madam Li patted her daughter and said, "Good, good. If the two are in love, your father and I will naturally agree to this marriage."
Lord Li was completely incredulous; that was the top scholar in the imperial examination.
A top scholar in the imperial examination is not a rare thing, but a top scholar from a princess's mansion is a rare thing among rare things.
Such a talented person was actually picked up by his own daughter, hahaha.
Lord Li didn't care whether anyone else was present or not, and burst into laughter.
"Good, good, good, as expected of my daughter, she really didn't give me, her father, any worry."
After saying that, he directly ordered them to leave: "Second brother, you've been looking around for quite a while now, shouldn't you go back?"
The second wife's family still looked unconvinced when they heard Li Xianxian say this.
In their eyes, how could Li Xianxian have such good fortune?
