Neither the old lady nor Mengbao took the Li family seriously, but no one expected that the Li family would make an amazing move in a fit of anger.

At the beginning of February, the Li family invited a sixteen-year-old young lady from her mother's family to Dingnanhou Mansion as a "guest".

Li's maiden home is quite far away from Bei'an City, and just after the New Year's Festival, he took such great pains to invite people as guests, which really has to make people reminiscent.

You must know that the last time her mother's family came over was when her daughter-in-law Li Wanyu married Shen Nancheng, and Li Wanyu is now pregnant, so she invited a young lady of the same clan as her to come over with such fanfare, if it was really to give Shen Nancheng a concubine, I am afraid that she would have to be angry to death, so this young lady is very likely to be prepared by the Li family for the son Shen Nanzhu.

Outsiders just made this conjecture, but Mengbao, who was one of the parties involved, was very sure that Li planned to do so.

Although she has never taken Li to heart, Li's move still makes her very angry.

Although Shen Nanzhu was reluctant to let her get angry, she was inexplicably happy when she saw her face full of anger over this matter.

"No matter what she says or does, I won't take Miss Li as a concubine, Bao'er, you believe me." He said, wrapping his arms around Mengbao's shoulder.

Mengbao's anger did not dissipate because of this, but became more annoyed.

"Of course, I know you don't have this intention, but she went too far! The young lady of the Li family was invited by her to come to our house from afar, so naturally it was impossible to stay for only three or five days and leave. But the longer she stays here, the more people outside will think you mean the same thing. ”

"Don't talk about it in the future, I'm afraid that many people will think that this is with your consent. Otherwise, how could she have come all the way to pick up her own young lady to live here without a name or a point! If it weren't for the fact that there was already such a plan, it would be so ugly to spread it in the future! ”

"She just saw that it was not good for us to blast people out directly, and it would be even more difficult to do so in the future, so she acted like this!"

"When the time comes, she will force you to take that woman as a concubine, if you don't want to, the outside will either say that you will regret it afterwards, or that I am stingy and jealous!"

Shen Nanzhu only thought that she was a little jealous, but she didn't want her to think about so many things, and she couldn't cry or laugh for a while. The hand on her shoulder was a little harder. hugged her into his arms: "Bao'er doesn't need to think about this, you just need to know that no matter what others do, it doesn't mean me." As long as I don't want to. No one can force me to take a concubine. ”

Mengbao's forehead rested on his shoulder. My heart was not much more comfortable because of this sentence: "I naturally believe in you." But the thought of us having to bear the notoriety for what she did made me feel panicked. ”

"There won't be any notoriety," Shen Nanzhu said, cupping Mengbao's cheek. "I'll finish my work in Bei'an as soon as possible, and then we'll move to the capital. When the time comes, the Miss Li family will live here for as long as she likes, and outsiders will naturally know that this is just their wishful thinking, not my intention, and it is not us who have a bad reputation at that time, and it is not us who should be anxious. ”

Mengbao's eyes lit up: "Can you finish your business soon?" ”

Shen Nanzhu smiled and nodded: "Originally, I planned to do it slowly, but if you want to be faster, it's not impossible." ”

"That's ......"

Mengbao's eyes were slightly worried: "It's better to take your time, if you want to hurry, you can't do anything to affect yourself for them." ”

She knew that Shen Nanzhu had been dealing with some secret tasks since he left Beijing last time, although the most dangerous time had passed, but what he was doing now was not necessarily safe, so she still hoped that he could put his own safety first, after all, reputation and life were much more important than life.

Shen Nanzhu naturally knew what she meant, his heart warmed, and the arm holding her became harder and harder: "There is Bao'er alone in this life, it is enough." ”

…………………………

Maybe it was to finish his own thing faster, or maybe it was to avoid the Miss Li family in the house so as not to make any bad remarks, and for a period of time after that, Shen Nanzhu was often away from home all day long, and sometimes even didn't come back for several days.

Li never expected that Shen Nanzhu would hide out like this, and his face would be so ugly and ugly for a while.

The Miss Li family wanted to come to see Mengbao several times, but Mengbao was sent away on the grounds that she was unwell, and she didn't even see her face.

The old lady was the same, although she didn't drive out the Miss Li family out of her feelings, she didn't take her seriously.

But if this young lady is a little self-aware, she should also see that the Dingnan Hou Mansion does not welcome her, but because she has already come, it is not good to drive her away directly, so she is allowed to stay.

Even if the thin-skinned young lady knew why Li took her over, she was afraid that she would leave on her own after encountering such a situation.

But this young lady did not, seeing that it was hopeless to meet the old lady and the princess, she simply went to see the other young grandmothers and young ladies in the house.

These ladies didn't want to see the Li family in the first place, and they were also very dissatisfied with the Li family's bringing a daughter who had not left the cabinet to live in the house for permanent living, so naturally they would not be so close to her.

"Fourth Miss, do you want to ...... Why don't we go back, go back...... Think of something else. ”

The maid who came with Miss Li this time said with a sad face.

Li Suyan's eyebrows and eyes were also full of worry, and she shook her head and sighed: "It's too late." ”

If she had known that coming to Dingnan Hou Mansion was in such a situation, she would not have regarded this place as a good way out.

Can ...... now It's too late to regret it, and she has no way out.

"It's all to blame on Mrs. Liugu, if she hadn't said it so nicely, how would we be here!" The maid said indignantly.

This Sixth Aunt is naturally referring to the Li family.

"I can't blame her entirely," Li Suyan said, "If she is really so sure, she will not pick me up in the name of visiting relatives and staying in the house, but will directly wait for the matter to settle and carry me into the house." I also saw that something was wrong, but I thought about things on the good side, and felt that she was also the head of the Dingnan Hou Mansion anyway, and if she really wanted to pressure the prince to take a concubine, others couldn't say anything, but I didn't expect it......"

I didn't expect that the Li family had no status at all in this mansion, and it was not as good as Mrs. Shizi.

"That'...... So what now? Dingnan Hou Shizi avoided outside the house, only came back every three or five days, and didn't even say hello before coming back, and when we knew, they had already entered Zhuxi Garden. That Mrs. Shizi is a jealous character, we are going to visit her and find all kinds of reasons not to let us in, so that we can't even see the face of Shizi! ”

Li Suyan's brows furrowed even tighter, but she couldn't think of a way to deal with it for the time being, so she could only remain silent. (To be continued.) )
