Master Li and Mrs. Li read the letter sent by Aunt Li together, and after reading it, Master Li couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"Madam, did you say we should go to Ningfu to propose?" Master Li asked Yu's opinion, and he said hesitantly, "We haven't asked Yuan Jing and Yuan Qian what they mean, I'm afraid it's a bit reckless to go directly to propose marriage, after all, this is our son's lifelong event." ”

Yu Shi narrowed his eyes, "Do you still need to ask, of course you can't go to propose." In order to let Li Jing's daughter not go to the palace, we can't use our son's marriage as a remedy, I won't agree to this matter anyway. ”

Although she intended for Li Yuanjing to marry Ning Jinhua or Ning Jinyun, she never thought of letting her second son Li Yuanqian and Ning Jinrao become a couple.

Yu knows Ning Jinrao's temperament, and she will never let this ignorant straw bag live with her son for the rest of her life.

After listening, Master Li nodded, "Don't worry, I'm just asking, but I really did what my sister said." But didn't you really want our family and the Ning family to be in-laws before, why don't you want to do it now? ”

Mrs. Li snorted, "I want Yuan Jing to marry the Ning family's concubine or eldest daughter to help our Li family, but when did I say that I wanted Yuan Qian to marry Ning Jinrao?" Our family Yuanqian has always been not interested in inheriting the family business, so it is better to go with him, let him do whatever he likes, and don't rush to start a family first, anyway, there is Yuanjing in the family. ”

She has different high hopes for these two sons, Li Yuanjing is the eldest son, and he should shoulder the burden of the Li family, and he is an ambitious and far-sighted person, so it is also appropriate to hand over the Li family to him. In this case, Yu did not force Li Yuanqian to inherit the family business, she knew that her second son was different from her eldest son, and Li Yuanqian pursued freedom more, so Yu hoped that Li Yuanqian could follow his heart and live a faster life.

After thinking about it, Yu Shi said again, "Also, even if we go to propose, don't you have to have the final say on everything." If Mrs. Ning really wanted to send Ning Jinrao to the palace as a concubine, then she would definitely not agree to this family business, and wouldn't she still be able to help your sister in the end. Let's not go against Mrs. Ning for the sake of your niece, it will only be a lose-lose situation, and it will not benefit the Ning and Li families at all. ”

Master Li also understands the stakes, he feels that what Mrs. said is right, he can't afford to have a fight with Mrs. Ning for the sake of Ning Jinrao, let alone make a hasty decision on his son's marriage.

He muttered thoughtfully, "I mean the same as you, I don't want to propose, but in this way, won't I offend my sister, my sister wrote to me for help, if we write back to refuse, what will my sister think of us?" ”

He and Aunt Li have a deep relationship with their brother and sister, and now he is caught between his sister and his wife and children, and he is in a dilemma.

Yu shook his head, "Who said that we have to write a letter to refuse, if you want me to see, we don't have to do anything." ”

"But, how do you explain to your sister?" Master Li was a little puzzled.

"Don't worry, if Mrs. Ning really wants Ning Jinrao to go to the palace, then she won't let your sister go out easily, she will be afraid that your sister will do something in this matter and ruin her big plan." Mrs. Li had already thought of a countermeasure, she continued, "As long as Ning Jinrao goes to the palace, then the overall situation has been decided, and nothing can be recovered. As a result, we never received a reply from her, so we thought that something had happened to this matter, so we didn't dare to act rashly, so we decided to postpone the proposal for a while for a while. ”

After listening to it, Master Li didn't fully understand, he knew that his sister was usually not allowed to go back to her parents' house without Mrs. Ning's permission, so he didn't worry that his sister would come to the door directly.

But what about this so-called reply?

He asked, "Madam, do you mean that we have to lie to my sister that we wrote a letter to her, but we did not receive a reply from her, but we did not send a letter to my sister, wouldn't my sister be suspicious?" ”

"You're stupid." Mrs. Li Yu sighed, "Since we want to deceive her, we have to deceive her to the end, let's tell her that the Li family really sent someone to send her a letter, and it was sent a total of three times, as for why she didn't receive it, it's none of our business." At that time, she will wonder if someone else took away her letter halfway, so she couldn't see it, she may suspect that it is Mrs. Ning, or she may suspect others, in short, she can't suspect us. You're her brother, you've always been so nice to her, she'll take your word for it. ”

Hearing what Mrs. said, Master Li agreed to her method and decided not to help his sister this time, after all, it was more important for his two sons' lifelong events.

……

Aunt Li waited in Ningfu for many days and didn't see the Li family come to propose, she was very anxious and wanted to go to the Li family in person. But when she walked to the gate of Ning's mansion, the two little maids who guarded the door stopped her, and she knew that this must be the old lady's arrangement, so she had to go back.

In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and Ning Jinyun is as anxious as Aunt Li.

During this time, Mrs. Ning always called herself sick and didn't see anyone, Ning Jinyun knew that this was her grandmother's strategy, and she had already guessed that her grandmother wanted Ning Jinrao to replace her.

But speculation is just speculation after all, and she can't be completely sure, so she is anxious to get a quasi-letter.

After dinner, Ning Jinyun went to Qixiang Courtyard.

When Mother Qian saw her, she still said the same thing, "Second Miss, the old lady is unwell and is resting, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet you." ”

"I'm not here to find my grandmother." Ning Jinyun smiled slightly, and then took Mother Qian to a secluded corner.

Mother Qian was a little surprised.

Ning Jinyun explained, "I'm here to ask you about something. Do you know who grandmother decided to let go to the palace in the end? ”

Hearing this, Qian's mother laughed dryly, and was trying to find an excuse to say that she didn't know about it.

But Ning Jinyun took the lead and said to her, "Mother Qian, you are the steward of Qixiang Academy, and you have always been your grandmother's right-hand man, you will not know such an important matter." Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense everywhere after I know it, let alone say it to Aunt Li, I just want to make sure that I don't need to prepare my bags to go to the palace anymore. ”

The last sentence, she repeated repeatedly, "You just have to tell me if I need to prepare any more." ”
