Chapter 2627 - 111: The Girl’s Persuasion
"Tch, I’m a petty man, of course I’ll use my fists!" Third Young Master Li stood up and ruffled her hair. "All right, stop worrying about my business."
Third Young Master Li swaggered off.
Li Luru carefully put away Ye Haoxuan’s letter.
Xiaohong came over again, mysteriously, "Miss..."
"?" Had she caught some new wind again?
This girl had practically become a little spy in the household lately; every time she went out she could sniff out some news.
"The matchmaker came again today, talking about the young master of the Sun Family in Wangquan Town."
Sun Family? Li Luru shook her head; she’d never heard of them.
"And then?"
Xiaohong said, "Second Miss naturally didn’t agree, but our Madam agreed. Hmph, she never reflects on herself. If you ask this maid, our Madam isn’t a cruel person. After all that ruckus Second Miss made, Madam didn’t really do anything to her, and is still finding her a good husband. Every match she’s mentioned is first-rate. That Meng Family has shops both in the county and the prefecture, and the young master at home is even a Cultivated Talent."
"And that Yang Family and the Ye Family are from the same village. I heard they’re even Prince An’s maternal uncle’s family, and now he’s got a degree to his name. With such a fine family background, she actually refuses?"
Xiaohong felt that Li Mengru’s brain must have been kicked by a donkey.
"Uncle?" Li Luru thought, since when did the Yang Family have such a young uncle?
Xiaohong glanced at the papers and went on, "Yes, I heard they’re kin to Prince An’s mother’s family, about the same age as the prince, a fine young man."
Li Luru thought to herself that who exactly was refusing this match was hard to say. The Yang Family was also a prominent clan locally; once they found out the situation here, they might not agree.
"Madam said once Third Young Mistress enters the door, she’ll marry Second Miss off." Xiaohong chattered on, "She said she can’t let Second Miss stay in the house and stand in your way, Miss."
Li Luru tapped her on the forehead. This little maid’s courage had grown; she even dared say such things to her.
Inside Yunxiang Court, Li Mengru was still copying Buddhist scriptures.
The ones she’d been ordered to copy before were already finished, then Yang Aoshuang had sent more paper, telling her to copy three hundred more, saying they’d be used at the year’s end when they went to the temple to pray for blessings.
"Miss, that Matchmaker Wang came again."
When Li Mengru heard those three words, her brows tightened. "Which family now?"
"It’s the Sun Family of Wangquan Town." The maid watched her expression while carefully saying, "And, and Madam has already agreed."
"Bang..." The brush fell to the floor, and the copied Buddhist scriptures scattered messily all over the ground.
"Tell me, what’s the situation with this Sun Family?"
The maid shivered and said, "I heard, I heard the Sun Family has four general stores and a wine shop, three brothers in the family, and they’re talking about the Second, who is currently studying."
"Does he have any degree?"
"N-no... no." Seeing that she seemed fairly calm, the maid thought she wasn’t angry anymore, so she plucked up her courage to persuade her, "Miss, actually Madam’s choice isn’t bad. Compared to Eldest Miss’s, the Sun Family is far better. And the Second Young Master of the Sun Family is still studying—if he passes the examinations in future, your bridal finery and phoenix coronet are just around the corner."
"Let this maid be bold and say it: last time when you caused such a scene, if it were any other household, they’d have already sent you off to an estate or a temple and let you fend for yourself. Our Madam is still rather kind; the husbands she’s found for you all have decent conditions."
"Bah..." Li Mengru stood up and pinched her, "You little hussy, what kind of soul-bewitching soup did she pour down your throat that you’re speaking up for her like this?"
