The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 276 Livzon's Heartfelt Promise
Upon hearing this, Murong Lizhu's clear eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and she blurted out, "But the one who temporarily lived in the house a while ago, whose name was Jiang Youchen?"

"Have you seen this person?" The old lady was very surprised when she heard Murong Lizhu say this, and asked with a look of surprise.

It was only then that Murong Lizhu realized that she had lost her manners, and quickly replied: "I just came back from you with my two sister-in-laws once, and the young master of the Jiang family happened to come over to greet you."

While talking, Murong Lizhu's cheeks flushed slightly, and her voice couldn't help lowering her voice: "We just met once by chance, so we can't be regarded as acquaintances."

The old lady knew that her niece and granddaughter were the most respectful of etiquette, seeing her suddenly lose her composure, she must have guessed in her heart.

She patted Lizhu's hand, and said softly: "After all, this is to choose a son-in-law for you. It is related to your life's happiness. It should be what you want. Since your cousin mentioned that Jiang to me Jiaerlang, do you feel satisfied?"

Hearing the old lady speak so bluntly, Murong Lizhu's face was as red as a ripe peach, she was so ashamed that she couldn't even raise her head, she replied like a mosquito: "Since ancient times, a woman's marriage has been decided by her parents. Lizhu lost her father since she was a child, so my aunt is the one to decide my marriage."

This is the reserved style that every lady should have. Although Murong Lizhu didn't explain it, the old lady already understood that this grandniece also liked Jiang Youchen, so she simply opened up with her and said: "This is Jiang Youchen. In terms of character and talent, he is naturally one in a million, and he is also a master who can be entrusted with responsibility. But your second cousin just told me that he was engaged in Chaozhou before, and his fiancée died of illness before he even got married. Now, there are faint rumors that he seems to be cheating on his wife in Chaozhou."

After hearing this, Murong Lizhu was silent for a while, and replied tactfully: "Since it's just a rumor, how can we take it seriously? People from our hometown in Jiangdong also secretly said that I have a hard life, and that I was treated like this for no reason. Slander, I can understand the helplessness of this young master of the Jiang family."

That's what it means to not care.

When the master and servant walked halfway, they happened to meet Li Ling returning from duty, and before Li Ling could speak, Jing Shu gave him a hard look.

Jing Shu had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "Uncle is not easy to escape as the governor of Chaozhou. When I go back, I will mention it in a letter with my uncle and aunt. If they think it is good, I will invite them to come to Beijing to discuss."

Li Ling glanced at his wife's unkind expression and saw her coming from Anxitang, he understood in his heart, he grinned at his wife flatteringly, and said happily, "If you have anything to say, let's go back and talk about it."

Jingshu glanced at Ziyun, scolded Li Ling with a cold snort, "Stingy thing."

Jing Shu glared at him again, gritted her silver teeth and said bitterly: "After we get back, let's see how I settle accounts with you."

She was passed on to Kefu by the aristocratic circle in Jiangdong, so her uncle entrusted her to the old lady. Although the old lady loved her, Murong Lizhu knew in her heart that she was just an outsider to Zhen Guogong's mansion. Worrying about her marriage is worthy of her, but how can she speak out her little thoughts without any shame, which makes people look down upon her for no reason.

The marriage of children is the order of the parents, and the matchmaker's words, the old lady naturally has no reason why she shouldn't.

Murong Lizhu finally raised her head, looked at the old lady with Yingying eyes, and replied implicitly: "When a woman marries a wife, she should abide by her duties. I lost my father when I was young. If my future husband's family can treat me sincerely, I will also sincerely repay you, and I will definitely overcome difficulties.”

Li Ling came over to support his wife as if to please, and with a smile on his face, he lowered his voice and said: "If I have made a mistake, you can go back and beat me and scold me behind your back, but don't be angry. The imperial doctor said, you are now This body can't get angry."

At noon on the second day, the old lady ordered Jing Shu to be invited to Anxi Hall.

The old lady has taken a fancy to Jiang Youchen, since Murong Lizhu is also willing, the old lady no longer cares about other things, she just said to Jingshu: "I really like this marriage, but your uncle's home is far away in Chaozhou, I don’t know what they mean.”

The matter has come to this point, Jingshu naturally doesn't want to mention that Jiang Youchen didn't know about it, so she had to be so perfunctory first, and then asked Jiang Youchen later, it's okay if he is willing, if he is not willing, he can only try to push it on his uncle and aunt.

Jing Shu really didn't expect Li Ling to be a matchmaker. When she heard that the old lady liked Jiang Youchen, Jing Shu was very surprised.

After leaving the Anxi Hall, Jing Shu couldn't help scolding Li Ling: "This person is so confused, he didn't tell me about such a thing, it's really maddening."

It is true that Murong Lizhu has taken a fancy to Jiang Youchen, but in today's world, if a woman falls in love with a man, it is an outrageous act of treason.If Li Ling doesn't come to matchmaking today, Murong Lizhu intends to let this matter go to her stomach and let the old lady choose a son-in-law for her.

After hearing this, the old lady patted Murong Lizhu's hand and said: "Grandma understands what you mean, if you can find two people, you can live a smooth life from now on, I will settle my worries, You have lived up to your uncle's entrustment."

The old lady nodded, and continued: "Jiang's son-in-law has just arrived in Beijing, but his parents are still far away in Chaozhou. According to etiquette, if any son or daughter marries, he must learn the rules from his mother-in-law. Learning how to take care of housework, usually you can't go to office with your husband, that is, you have to live a life separated from each other.

Ziyun followed Jingshu all the time, and said with a smile when he heard the words: "I really didn't expect that a person as cold and serious as my uncle would be a matchmaker for others. He must be looking forward to the young master of the Jiang family getting married."

Murong Lizhu didn't expect Li Ling to be a matchmaker. Since someone has already pushed the person she likes to her in a legitimate way, she has to fight for her so that her life is not in vain.

Murong Lizhu got up upon hearing the words, stood in front of the old lady, and gave her a deep blessing: "Lizhu, thank you aunt for taking care of me."

This is not only a matter of disagreement between uncle and aunt, but Jiang Youchen himself doesn't know whether he is willing or not. That day Xu Wanning just mentioned it casually, but who knows that Li Ling, a daredevil, would be caught off guard.

Ziyun covered her mouth and snickered, and persuaded Jingshu, "Don't worry, Miss Lizhu is also a rare lady. Maybe my uncle's small nature can really promote the marriage of the young master."

Jingshu shook off Li Ling's hand, and replied with a wooden face: "If you don't come to make me angry, there will be nothing in this world worthy of my anger."

Li Ling was thrown away by Jingshu, but he stuck to it with perseverance, and said with a flattering smile: "Madam is serious, even if I borrow Li Ling's courage, I will not dare to make Madam angry. There must be something in the middle." What a misunderstanding."

Seeing him evasively evasive, Jing Shu pinched him on the back of his back, gritted her teeth and said, "See how I deal with you when I go back."

Li Ling was pinched and said "Ouch", clutching his lower back and complaining: "You started attacking before you got back to the house."
