The Prince's Humen's Wife

Chapter 57
Hearing the cold voice, Li Manman suddenly came back to his senses, and said in embarrassment: "I let Li Chaochao deal with it."

"Then leave it to her. She can handle it in her own way. You don't have to ask any more."

Li Manman looked at his mother's nonchalant sneer, and asked again: "Mother is already planning to let Xiuniang marry into the Lan family?"

Speaking of this, the Eldest Madam's eyes dimmed a little. Recently, the Eldest Master stayed out every day and night because he was unhappy with being irritated by the Prefect. It was obviously a happy event but now it has become a joke all over the city, embarrassing the two families. Because of this matter, the Elder Master even quarreled with himself, saying that he had lost the support of the prefect, and if he couldn't even keep the marriage of the Lan family, he didn't know what the Elder Master and the old lady would be up against.

But the Lan family just took a fancy to the fourth girl, didn't like the fifth girl, the eldest lady was resentful, she would never let the fourth girl marry, since they didn't like the fifth girl, they could only consider Xiuniang.

She pinched the center of her brows wearily, always feeling that none of these things went smoothly, and there was a faint weirdness in the coincidences, as if they were all coming towards her.

Who is the one?What conspiracy?
The eldest lady fell asleep and thought about it for a while, but Li Manman couldn't bear to wait, so she pushed her, "Mother!"

"Do you have something to say?" The lady slowly opened her eyes.

Li Manman was seen to be thinking, and asked with some embarrassment: "When are we going to Lan's house?"

There was a teasing smile in Da Furen's eyes, "Even if I go, I won't take you with me!"

"Mother!" Li Manman stood up anxiously and stomped her feet, "I'm going!"

"What are you going to do with a girl who hasn't left the court! You are not afraid of being laughed at by others."

Li Manman pursed her lips, her icy little face flushed slightly, revealing the delicate attitude of a little girl, and said hesitantly: "I heard that Lan Shizi is ill, mother should go and see it anyway!"

"You." The eldest lady poked her forehead with her finger, "I knew you had this in mind!"

Li Manman rubbed his forehead, "Mother, what are you talking about!"

The eldest lady snorted, "You still want to hide it from me, how could your little thoughts escape my eyes, I am your mother!"

Li Manman's face turned even redder, and she couldn't find any words to refute.

The eldest lady said: "The family affairs and appearance of Lan Shizi are very good, but he is a sick child. Although he doesn't know what the disease is, but he has gone to the south of the Yangtze River to raise him. It must not be easy to cure. If that is the case, don't Say I'm talking to the front, don't move your mind, I will never allow my daughter to marry a half-dead, otherwise you will suffer in the future."

Li Manman was a little dissatisfied when he heard what Da Furen said, and turned cold, "Mother, you saw it last time, and that Prince Lan is doing well!"

"Well, he will come to Jiangnan? Well, why did you get sick again recently?" The lady was unmoved, "Why have I rejected so many marriages in the past few years! How did I teach you when I was young? It's your place."

"Mother!" Li Manman showed dissatisfaction, "But there is only one Lan Lingyu! He is the only one with this appearance and temperament!"

Seeing that the fourth girl was determined, the eldest lady couldn't help being angry, and she said sternly: "It's him alone, without the prince of Wuxiang, there will be other princes in the future, my lord! How can you die for a sick son?" Happy future to you!"

Li Manman took a few deep breaths and quickly calmed down. She is not a person who loses her own way, and knows that it is useless to argue loudly with her mother. This is also thanks to the earnest teaching of the eldest lady over the years, who has trained her to be a good person. A lady who can stand shoulder to shoulder with a famous family.

She sat down again, and said in a deep voice: "My daughter has also reached the age of discussing marriage. If it is too late, the whole of Zhenjiang will laugh at our Li family again. Why doesn't my daughter want to marry into a high-ranking family, but she also needs to be well-connected. Yes, Lan Shizi is the most suitable one now, and they are the Marquis of Wuxiang in the capital. As for whether he is a tuberculosis man, let's ask the Lan family and we will know everything."

After Li Manman finished speaking, he secretly glanced at the face of the eldest lady. Seeing that she was silent, he added, "Don't say that Lan Shizi is in good health, but he is sick. How many famous ladies in Zhenjiang want to marry him? It's too late." If so, he belongs to someone else. After all, we have some relatives with the Lan family, so we can be regarded as close to the water, and if our daughter can really marry into the Marquis of Wuxiang, she can also help her father."

This remark moved the Eldest Madam a little bit. In fact, she looked at Lan Lingyu as a good person. If the fourth girl and him really got married with Qin Jin, it would be a happy event, and the Eldest Man would be very happy too. There is not so much gap between.

The doctor was thinking about it in his heart, and he never let go. Li Manman struggled for a while before she said: "Okay, okay, I'll go to Lan's house in a few days..."

Qiushuang saw Xiangchen coming back from the yard in a hurry, and rushed to greet her, "Go in quickly, the girl is waiting for you."

Xiangchen just smiled, and went directly to the main room, raised the curtain and walked in. Before he could speak, he was choked by saliva, his face was flushed, Li Chaochao couldn't help laughing, "Look, I'm in a hurry, drink the saliva first gas."

She brought the teacup over, Xiangchen didn't care about the politeness, grabbed it and drank a couple of sips, Li Chaochao laughed again: "Look at you, it looks like there is good news."

Xiangchen breathed a sigh of relief, nodded hurriedly, "Young lady said yes, it's done!"

Li Chaochao asked Xia He to move a stick and pointed, "Sit down and talk."

"Yes..." Xiangchen replied twice, but still said impatiently: "The incense powder shop in the house is about to be demolished by the people in the whole city, and the servants from various families are standing outside. There was trouble there, Tian Guanshi couldn’t afford to offend anyone, he opened the door and asked them to empty the things, and even paid for the money, the loss was heavy.”

Li Chaochao smiled, everything was expected, she was going to start with the collapse of the Li family's incense powder shop, and slowly devour it, if the eldest lady thought that was the end, she was wrong, this was just the beginning.

She asked, "Did you report to the police?"

"No." Xiangchen replied, "A few yamen servants came, but they just maintained order. Tian Guanshi didn't say anything, let them rob, and the yamen servants didn't care."

"It's been hard for you these days." Li Chaochao said to Qiushuang who just came in: "The newly received money, each of you three taels, although the division of labor is different, but in the future, no matter who does more or less, you will be rewarded the same. I will give you shares in the future business, and you will get dividends if you earn, and you will not lose your capital if you lose. If you need it urgently, you can withdraw it at any time."

Li Chaochao's words are so much, they are grateful to her, and they will not be soft when they are not grateful to her.

The four maidservants in the house saluted one after another, and Li Chaochao also accepted. Mother He came in and saw this scene, and said with a smile, "Girl, Chunli from the lady's room is here."
