Splendid glory of a girl from another world

Chapter 252 Benefits
Xia He, who was following behind Li Qiusui and was hesitant to speak, almost bumped into Li Qiusui who suddenly turned around.

"Why did you turn around so suddenly?"

"Sister, go change your clothes first. We can talk later." Li Qiusui smiled.

She could almost guess her sister's worry, and so did her mother. She looked so unhappy along the way, and she was holding her father and two brothers, probably talking about the same thing.

If she were to say, it was already agreed upon long ago that the man and the woman would get married and it had nothing to do with each other, so what was there to be fuss about?

Xia He looked at him, "Are you really okay?"

What can happen?
Li Qiusui nodded and blinked, indicating that everything was fine.

Xia He, "Don't take Zheng Ying's lies seriously. Their family has great ambitions, but we are a small family and don't have such ambitions."

Li Qiusui simply sat down and listened to what she continued to say in a good-tempered manner.

Xia He glared at her, but she didn't care and looked like a lazy girl. This girl was much smarter than herself, and she didn't understand anything.

Xia He had no choice but to urge him, "Okay, go change your clothes quickly. We still have to go check on mom. Before, Zheng Ying came to our house whenever he wanted, and mom really treated him like her future son-in-law."

Li Qiusui was really surprised, "Ah? Didn't we agree to treat each other as relatives?" How could there be such a misunderstanding?

Xia He now realized that Li Qiusui had no such intentions towards her. "You don't have such intentions? Then why have you been so nice to Zheng Ying since childhood?"

Li Qiusui looked particularly innocent. "That's how it was during my two years at the Zheng family. We always got along like this! After that, Zheng Ying and Zheng Yan never changed. Besides, Madam Zheng is Madam Zheng, and Zheng Ying and his sister are Zheng Ying and his sister. We can't be confused with each other."

It turns out that you are quite righteous and clear about gratitude and resentment! Xia He was speechless.

Li Qiusui spread his hands, "You said, they are happy to bring us gifts every time they come to our house, and they are also polite to our family. How can I give them a bad face and not let them come to our house?"

"When people have good things, they always think of me. When I have good things, shouldn't I think of them?"

This confident look...

Xia He held her forehead with her hand as she felt a headache. She then realized that this girl's head looked completely different from that of an ordinary person.

But having said that, I must make things clear today. "So you mean that we all misunderstood you?"

Li Qiusui nodded vigorously, you must have misunderstood! She had no such intention towards Zheng Ying at all, and Mrs. Zheng was even more difficult to deal with.

"What about Zheng Ying..." Xia He was so angry that she was confused. "What was the purpose of Zheng Ying's words today? Don't tell me you didn't understand?"

Could it be that we misunderstood?
Li Qiusui was dumbfounded.

Could it be that the problem really lies with me?

Xia He poked her forehead with a finger and said, "You, you, when there's something good at home, the first thing you think of is the Zheng family. What do you think your parents and us will think?"

"Doesn't that mean Zheng Yan thinks of me first when she gets something good?"

"How dare you talk back!"

Xia He was so anxious that she was spinning around.

My sister is heartless and a fool. The main responsibility lies with the Zheng family. If they hadn't misled me, how could I have thought about this?

Xia He clapped her hands, "...Yes! You were also fooled by the Zheng family, and what Zheng Ying said today is proof of that.

How old are you? We country folks are simple and honest, not as cunning as those city folks."

Li Qiusui shrank her head and dodged her sister's spit. "Sister, why are you becoming more and more like our mother?"

The series of actions of putting hands on hips and clapping hands are exactly like Liu. "I am my mother's biological daughter. Who else can I be like if not her? What are you talking about? Are you asking for a beating? By the way, you are also wrong. You are always being clever. Don't you understand the little tricks of the Zheng family?"

That made a lot of sense, Li Qiusui smiled awkwardly. Seeing her sister's unfriendly look, her finger almost poked her face again, she quickly raised her hand to make a promise, "I know I was wrong, I will be more careful in the future, at worst, I will never talk to anyone from the Zheng family again..."

Xia He's expression changed faster than the Sichuan Opera. She raised her chin and showed a bright smile. Suddenly, she changed her tone, "This matter is not mainly your fault. You are still young, what do you know?"

Li Qiusui nodded and said, "You can say whatever you want. Just don't be so harsh. It's scary when an honest person loses his temper."

The key point is that this person is her sister, and she can't hit anyone just because she is unhappy.

It’s so frustrating!
After seeing his smug sister off, Li Qiusui changed into casual clothes. There was an even more difficult mother over there.

She has been in contact with the Zheng family for the past few years, especially after arriving in the capital. When it comes to family affairs, Zheng Ying is so busy and enthusiastic that it would be strange if her mother Liu didn't have any thoughts.

Looking back now, it was as if she had been enlightened. She was still influenced by her experiences in her past life. She was used to speaking with fists and gender was blurred. How could anyone think about marriage?
Li Qiusui stomped out of the yard.

She could more or less guess what Mrs. Zheng was planning. In the next two years, the Zheng family might face a great disaster. Mrs. Zheng tried every means to preserve her children and family, and let her son marry a princess and form an alliance with the royal family. This was the quickest and most effective way at the moment.

Mrs. Zheng knew the Li family's temper very well. Now that rumors were flying around, she had clearly informed the Li family of her family's plans.

Considering that the Li family was still digging for food in the land back then and they loved their daughter so much, they could have agreed to break off ties with the Zheng family cleanly. But now that their reputation has been greatly damaged, they will definitely not cling to the Zheng family and refuse to let go.

Mrs. Zheng had another intention, which was to borrow the help of the Li family to both stop her son from thinking about her and not hurt the relationship between mother and son.

It’s no wonder that Mrs. Zheng is so calculating and can kill several birds with one stone!

Li Qiusui also had a guess that not all members of the Zheng family would approve of Madam Zheng, especially Old Master Zheng, who was still firmly in his position as a high official.

If he had really listened to his daughter-in-law's words, he, as the head of the family, should have planned a way out long ago, and Mrs. Zheng would not have been so anxious as an ant on a hot pan, scheming so carefully to arrange the marriages for her children.

Are they trying to take advantage of the Li family completely?

No matter how Li Qiusui tried to comfort Liu, after the Zheng family had sent the guests away, Old Master Zheng called Master Zheng into the study as soon as he left the yamen.

"Does your wife know what she is doing? I have said that there is no rush for Ying'er's marriage. She doesn't like the girls from the Li family, or the Zhou family or the Wang family. As long as it does not affect the future career of the brother, my Zheng family can pick the daughter-in-law she likes."

This is the disadvantage of marrying a lady from a noble family. She likes to act on her own and never seek the advice of the master of the house.

It's no wonder that Mr. Zheng was furious. Princess Shang said it was an honor and brought glory to the family, but in fact she got no real benefits. Not only will she not be able to enter the cabinet in the future, she will not be able to hold real power.

Zheng Ying is the only descendant of the Zheng family who seems to have the potential to succeed, but his fate will come to an end in a few years.

Not to mention the top or second place in the imperial examination, with his grandson's talent, the emperor would give him the title of third place just for the sake of his status as a senior official.

By then, when the story gets out that two of them, grandparents and grandchildren, have won the title of Scholar-Scholar, it will be a good story.

Old Master Zheng had started planning early on. When Zheng Ying came to him and proposed conditions, he was not annoyed. Instead, he encouraged his eldest grandson and said that if he could make it into the top of the list, he would be able to decide on the marriage.

It doesn’t matter which family you marry, but you cannot destroy the foundation of the Zheng family.

Just stop at the point. There are some things that cannot be discussed in depth. Old Master Zheng knows that his son can understand.

Mr. Zheng smiled bitterly, "Dad, Ying'er is Wan Niang's biological son, in the future..."

"You still believe your wife's nonsense... She said two years ago that there would be a war on the border. It's just a minor incident. It happens twice every year. Why does she need to say anything?"

What Old Master Zheng didn't say was that his good daughter-in-law said that the emperor is in poor health now, but he seems to be doing well. This morning she was very angry with their cabinet.

"What can a woman know if she stays in the inner courtyard all day? Don't you like to chant sutras? If you think the small Buddhist temple at home can't accommodate her, talk to your mother and ask her to send her directly to the temple outside the city."
