On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 249 Marriage 2
Fortunately, the engagement was made early, so it was difficult for the husband to go back on his word. Otherwise, it would be unpleasant if word spread, and he would also offend his uncle.

Mrs. Li also promised to find two beautiful and fertile housemates for her eldest son, so her husband said nothing more.

In fact, Chen Wanrou's body was infertile.

Her sister-in-law gave her another idea and asked her to find some tricks. No matter how many people were allowed into the house, Li Ji might not be able to get pregnant.

Mrs. Li was really moved after hearing this.

When Li Yan heard this, just as he had guessed, he was in a very good mood.

However, he was not a fool, nor would he show it. Instead, he said with a worried look on his face: "It's all my unfilial piety that has made my mother and Miss Chen worried. I will go to the Chen Mansion to visit Miss Chen later."

This was difficult for Mrs. Li to accept.

She wasn't worried about Li Ji. She even happily ate an extra bowl of rice that night after hearing the news that he was injured and disappeared.

And he can't be allowed to see his niece now, just for fear that he will become suspicious.

Alas, the older the concubine's eldest son is, the more difficult he is to deal with. If I had known better, I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and kept him.

"Forget it, she will feel guilty when she sees you," Mrs. Li decisively changed the topic that was not good for her: "I heard that you took in a housemate outside the house? Are you pregnant? Come in and let me take a look."

After hearing the news, she had already thought about many ideas in her mind to deal with the woman.

Even if her niece cannot give birth, she will have to choose honest maids who sell themselves to her to give birth to children.

After giving birth to a child, he sells the maid to a distant place, and then lets his niece raise the child. Isn't this the same as his own child?
Before that, before her son got married and gave birth to a legitimate son, Mr. Li Ji would never be allowed to have a son.

Li Ji frowned as if he was a little impatient: "I was seriously injured earlier, thanks to the woman's family who saved me."

First, give the Xiao family a life-saving grace, so that even if Xiao Xiao comes in in the future, he can rely on the life-saving grace to prevent his aunt from beating and scolding her at will.

"But she is just a country girl and doesn't understand the rules. I never thought of bringing her back, and she is definitely not pregnant."

This is to tell my aunt, you don’t have to worry about me bringing her in.

Because his aunt had warned him countless times before that she would never allow herself to have another woman before marrying Miss Chen and giving birth to her eldest son.

And if a sickly body like Miss Chen's can give birth to a child, then what the hell is that?

It just so happened that he was not willing to let Xiao Xiao suffer, so he was prepared to wait for one or two years, or two or three years, until Miss Chen could no longer hold on, or the son of his aunt, his half-brother, got married and had children. In the end, my aunt's resentment will disappear a lot, and I will be able to get what I want.

But he didn't know that under his own father's hints and explicit instructions, his aunt had already compromised.

Mrs. Li sighed: "Wanrou is weak but has a great temper. I feel very guilty that I can't marry you this time. Why don't you just accept a few people in the room first?"

Then he winked at the confidant beside him: "Call me in."

Mrs. Zhou responded and soon led four young, charming, fat and thin beauties in.

They first greeted Mrs. Li respectfully.

Mrs. Li said to him: "These are lotus flowers, apricot flowers, plum blossoms and orchids."

Then he said to them: "If you still don't pay homage to the eldest son, you will serve him from now on."

Li Yan refused: "Mother has to worry about it, but I'm not married yet, how can I close the house first? Isn't this a slight to Miss Chen?"

Mrs. Li used to talk about these words, but now he just used them as an excuse. Mrs. Li hated him the most for being disobedient, and she instantly turned down her face: "I dare not say goodbye to this gift given by the elders. Haven't you learned this?"

"I don't dare." Li Yan asked again: "Do they have the second and third brothers? If mother favors one and favors the other, then the second and third brothers will be sad."

Li Yuan is the legitimate son, and Mrs. Li spent all her efforts on his marriage and settled on the niece of Princess Jin'an's mother's family.

If King Jin'an can rule the world, then the princess will be the queen, the queen's natal family will be the Marquis of Chengen, and the princess' son will also change from the prince to the prince.

But the future daughter-in-law's family status is too high, which has countless advantages and disadvantages. Even before her daughter-in-law comes in, Mrs. Li does not dare to add a few flowers to her son.

As for the other concubine born by Aunt Zhu, Mrs. Li was also impatient to see anyone.

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows, pointed at his nose and scolded: "You bastard, how dare you be disobedient and unfilial!"

This crime was too big for Li Yan to bear, so he could only kneel down and say, "Mom, calm down."

"What's going on?" General Li strode in from outside. When he saw his eldest son kneeling on the ground, he deliberately frowned and cursed: "Who told you to make your mother angry as soon as you come back? Get out!"

He didn't understand these twists and turns before, so it was better for Mochou to remind him how to calm the madam down.

It really works.

Li Yan bowed in response, took a few steps back, and then quickly left as if being chased by a ghost.

What Mrs. Li was most satisfied with was that her husband treated her well and would not favor the bastard. In order to make him feel that she was virtuous, she even advised him: "Husband, don't be angry. All the women here are debts. Although Ah Ji is disobedient, let's slowly persuade him." That’s it.”

"Madam is right, I will listen to you." General Li thought to himself: Who was the person who cursed earlier?
Then he looked at the four beautiful women beside him and asked doubtfully: "Who are they?"

This is obviously prepared for the eldest son.

But if the eldest son had been willing, he wouldn't have made her angry before.

Since the eldest son doesn't want it, as a father, I have to take care of things for him.

Mrs. Li's heart suddenly tightened, she was deeply afraid of who he was attracted to, so she quickly said: "Mother Zhou, take everyone down quickly and place them in the sewing room first."

He also explained to him: "It is prepared for my sons, but I must first learn the rules and then give it to my sons."

So you, as my father, don’t worry about it.

General Li suddenly realized: "Madam is still thoughtful."

Sometimes, he felt that it was good for his wife to be cautious.

No, isn't the matter settled?
Although he also wanted to talk to his eldest son, in order to prevent a fire in the backyard, he could only be patient and talk to her: "Is Miss Chen feeling better?"

Mrs. Li's smile froze: "You are still taking medicine. That child is honest. When I heard that Ah Ji was seriously injured and his whereabouts were unknown, he became suddenly ill."

Another misfortune: "My eldest brother and sister-in-law have also said that if Wanrou's health is not well by next autumn, then she will cancel the engagement so as not to delay Aji."

It's not that the Chen family understands justice, but several doctors have said that Ms. Chen has reached the end of her power, which is what happened in the past few months.

General Li also sighed: "Why are you so ill? How about I ask the new doctor from the prince's house to take a look? What if he finds the right symptom?"

But since the Chen family kept Wanrou's illness a secret, they naturally couldn't believe that the doctor was not the one they invited.

She didn't want to continue talking to him about this issue at all: "Aji is back. You must have a lot of things to ask, so why don't you just go and do business first?"
