"Mother?" Li Xiucai cried out in disbelief when he heard that it was because of Jin Xiulian. "Mother is righteous and sensible. Why would the county princess be displeased with me because of Mother?"
Li Xiucai's flattering words didn't affect his wife at all.
When she heard him say that Jin Xiulian was' righteous and sensible ', she almost laughed out loud.
Jin Xiulian?
Righteous and sensible?
Be reasonable?
If Jin Xiulian was righteous and sensible, then there was probably no one in the world who wasn't righteous and sensible.
That was all it took to misrepresent a deer.
She didn't refute Li Xiucai and only said mildly, "Last time, my mother-in-law insisted that I wash the clothes. She wouldn't let me go back to my room to rest because I couldn't wash them properly. The county princess heard my sad sobs and became displeased with my mother-in-law because of it."
Wan 'niang didn't add any embellishments and just explained the entire situation in a straightforward manner.
When he heard that his wife's crying had caused Jiujiu to become displeased with him, Li Xiucai wanted to ask why she was crying.
But now, his wife was no longer the same woman who would allow him to casually criticize her without making a sound.
If he dared to scold her, she would probably have a falling out with him.
Li Xiucai wanted to rely on his wife to become familiar with Jiujiu so that he could rely on her to get to know Ling Xiao. Naturally, he didn't dare to fall out with his wife. Even if she scolded his mother, he could only smile and say, "Mother is getting on in years. You must understand."
His wife had heard enough of 'my mother is getting on in years. You must understand.' What did he mean by 'my mother is getting on in years.'
Did she deserve to be bullied just because she was young?
Moreover, Jin Xiulian wasn't just bullying her. She was practically riding on her head and behaving atrociously.
When she recalled all the times Jin Xiulian had bullied her, she slammed the teacup in her hand onto the table. She looked at Li Xiucai and said, "If that's the case, then husband, please leave."
She got up to return to her bedroom after saying that.
Last night, he had been given the cold shoulder. If he let her go back now, it would be a long time before he could see her again.
It wasn't easy for Li Xiucai to see his wife again, so he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
Li Xiucai hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his wife back. He smiled and said, "Why are you suddenly angry? If you don't like to hear it, I won't say it again. "
In the past, Li Xiucai was like the summer weather in front of his wife. He could turn hostile at any moment. Not only could his wife not get angry, she even had to coax him gently.
But now, his wife had taken on the appearance of Li Xiucai, and Li Xiucai had taken on his wife's appearance.
This change was truly ironic.
His wife looked at Li Xiucai's face and suddenly burst into laughter.
It wasn't clear whether she was laughing at Li Xiucai or at herself. After laughing for a long time, she suddenly said, "You don't have to waste your breath. I've been in your family for a long time now. You and I both know how your mother treats me. Why do you have to say such things?"
Although Li Xiucai had shed all pretense of cordiality with his wife, he still appeared calm and indifferent on the surface. At this moment, his wife didn't even want to care about her face anymore.
She immediately turned hostile.
Li Xiucai wanted to rely on his wife to keep in contact with Jiujiu and Ling Xiao. Even though he was cursing his wife thousands of times in his heart, he could only smile and say, "What are you saying, wife? We're family."
His wife couldn't bring herself to divorce him, so she could only fling her sleeves and leave.
After his wife left, Li Xiucai was courteously escorted out by his wife's servant girl.
Li Xiucai looked in the direction his wife had left. His eyes flickered as he thought of something.
Even if his wife was angry with him, as long as she was his wife, she would be under his control. Sooner or later, she would be used by him.
Li Xiucai was very confident about this.
Although Ling Xiao said he was going to ask for an imperial edict, Jiujiu didn't expect him to be so efficient.
Moreover, the emperor had not only granted her a marriage, but also made her a county princess.
Jiujiu naturally wouldn't be so narcissistic as to think that the emperor was looking at her.
This was probably the emperor's way of giving Ling Xiao face.
Everyone in the mansion was happy for Jiujiu when Jiujiu was granted a marriage with Ling Xiao.
After Lin Datu and his wife passed away one after another, Jiujiu carried the Lin family on her tender shoulders. In a short period of time, she even made the Lin family's business reach a higher level. She even opened the business all the way from Jiangnan to the capital. Even Lin Datu couldn't do this.
Jiujiu was not only capable but also generous to her servant girls and servants. She even provided for the children of the servants to study and helped them to pass the imperial examinations.
All the servants of the Lin Family were loyal to Jiujiu.
Jiujiu's business flourished, and at the same time, Jiujiu's love life.
The Lin Family was a big business. Jiujiu was a woman, so she was destined to find a man to marry into the Lin Family.
However, a good family wouldn't be willing to let their son marry into the family. Jiujiu didn't like those who were willing to marry into the family.
Thus, Jiujiu's marriage became a concern for everyone in the Lin Family.
Ling Xiao was a true portrayal of the word 'hero' in everyone's heart.
If Jiujiu married Ling Xiao, even if they didn't do business in the future, it would be fine.
Ever since Lin Datu and his wife passed away, Steward Li had already raised Jiujiu as his own daughter. When he saw Jiujiu being granted a marriage with Ling Xiao, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He smiled and said to Qing Yan and Qing Liu, "This trip to the capital is a good one."
When Jiujiu wanted to come to the capital, he thought that the winter in the capital was too cold and wasn't good for Jiujiu's body. Now, it seemed that it was a good thing to come to the capital.
If they didn't come, would they be able to meet such a good marriage?
Steward Li was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and so were the others.
Especially Qing Yan and Qing Liu, they couldn't take their eyes off the gold, silver, and jewels bestowed by the Emperor.
Even if their Lin Family was rich and could buy gold, silver, and jewels that couldn't be found on the market, they still couldn't compare to the imperial family's rewards.
No wonder all the women racked their brains to go to the imperial city. This must be the reason.
However, their Miss expressed that the person their Miss was marrying was a great hero in the hearts of everyone in the world.
Qing Yan put all the jewels the Emperor bestowed into a jewelry box and looked at Jiujiu, asking, "Miss, why did His Majesty suddenly issue an imperial edict to grant a marriage?"
Jiujiu chuckled, "Naturally, it's because the general asked for an imperial edict."
When Ling Xiao wasn't moved, he was a cold brick. But when he was moved, he couldn't wait to give you the best things in the world.
For example, right now, when he was moved, he couldn't wait to give all his love to Jiujiu, including giving her the greatest dignity.
The Emperor bestowing a marriage and raising her status were all for her sake. Ling Xiao really put in a lot of effort.
"I didn't expect the general to be so attentive."
Although she had seen Ling Xiao a few times, Qing Yan had always felt that those who went to war were all boorish men. So when Ling Xiao showed his attentive side, she was a little surprised.
"Because the general likes Miss and cares about Miss, he will naturally be attentive."
Qing Liu took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile, "You'll know when you fall in love with someone, Qing Yan."
