Chapter 167 Can’t agree
Wang Huaiyu naturally saw her mother’s dilemma, but she was not afraid!
She was not afraid of any of them, whether it was Mrs. Li in front of her or the people in the old house.
Even if she was asked to marry that man, she would not be afraid.
She had only one goal, which was to make her brother and mother live a better life.
She looked at Li in front of her and asked, "Mother, are the sisters getting married together this time?"
Li really didn't expect that this girl was so brave.
She looked down on Aunt Wu, not only because she ruined the relationship between her and her husband, but also because the woman was too beautiful back then, making her look insignificant.
But now that she had been tortured and her beauty had been lost, she looked like an old woman, and her resentment had diminished a lot.
So Li really didn't mean it. After all, she didn't harm them.
"Yes, and your fifth sister and seventh sister."
Wang Huaiyu understood that the Wang family had many descendants, and those who were of no value had been abandoned.
Especially for women, they are mostly used for marriage.
The legitimate daughters received a good education. Although they were not proficient in everything, they had some talent in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Therefore, legitimate daughters can still marry into good families to consolidate their royal family's status and in-laws.
But concubines' daughters were not so lucky. There were too many people outside who wanted to marry them because of the Wang family's reputation as a noble family.
If you are lucky, you can marry into a wealthy family. If you are unlucky, you will be as unlucky as yourself.
But in this case, there must be a lot of money.
"In that case, my daughter has an unwelcome request."
Li didn't expect that this girl would actually negotiate terms with her.
"You said."
"My aunt is not in good health and has been coughing all year. My daughter is getting married soon and I am worried that I can't stay by her side.
So I ask you to take out three hundred taels of silver from my betrothal gift to hire a doctor to treat my aunt, just to show my filial piety."
Wang Huaiyu's request surprised Li, and Aunt Wu was also shocked.
"Have you thought it through? If I give you three hundred taels for medicine, your dowry..."
Li did not despise Wang Huaiyu. She would look up to a child who still cared about his mother.
"Mother, my dowry is not that big. This man wants to marry our daughter, and I don't think it's for the dowry."
Wang Huaiyu also studied, although not as well as his brother, but he was also sensible.
She herself did not like studying, but there was nothing she could do. Her brother was a good teacher and would check her homework from time to time, so she did not dare to slack off.
But fortunately, I have read more books, know some stories, and have gained some more strategies.
She knew that this marriage could not be ruined, and her mother was in this situation, so she might as well ask for some of the money back.
In this way, my brother will have enough money to pay for the imperial examination and to marry a wife in the future.
She also sincerely hoped that her mother could live a few more years, especially since her mother's health had improved recently after being treated by the doctor. She was happy from the bottom of her heart.
Now she misses her brother very much. When her brother was around, she could be a carefree child.
Now that her brother is not here, she has to hold on.
Li looked at Wang Huaiyu and was considering whether to agree or not, when she saw a few people walking out of the crowd.
"Xiao Rou, I found you!"
Wang Huaiyu was stunned when Tang Mingyan said this.
Who is this girl?
They don't seem to know each other?
Tang Mingyan had just watched outside for a while and naturally understood Wang Huaiyu's thoughts. She really liked this girl a little.
Smart and strong, that's admirable.
"Xiaoyu, if you are in trouble, why don't you tell me?"
Tang Mingyan asked this and glanced at Li.
Li also saw Tang Mingyan and was surprised.
"Princess? Why are you here?"
After all, Li was a girl from the Li family, and she had actually met Tang Mingyan.
"Madam Wang, Xiaorou and I are close friends. I just heard that she was forced to marry a widower. I couldn't bear it, so I came to ask about the situation."
Li didn't expect that Tang Mingyan actually knew Wang Huaiyu, and she was a little confused for a moment.
What does this mean? Is Tang Mingyan going to interfere in other people's marriages?
But even if the little princess is of noble status, she cannot ruin other people's marriages.
Besides, she is the stepmother, so why should she feel guilty?
"My little princess, this marriage was carefully selected by the Wang family. If it is not good, this lady really cannot agree."
Although Li cared about Prince Gong, she could not bear to see the Wang family lose face.
"Choose carefully? That must be a great marriage! I heard that the Third Madam has two daughters. Why not leave such a good marriage to your eldest daughter?"
Hearing this, Li felt a darkness before his eyes!
What did she mean? Did Tang Mingyan really want to meddle in other people's affairs?
"My little princess, this is my Wang family's private matter, please don't interfere!"
Li felt that she had been humiliated, so she naturally would not tolerate it any longer. Her face turned black, and she even wanted to order the guest to leave.
"I'm not interested in interfering in your Wang family's affairs, but I must take Xiaorou away!
We haven't seen each other for a long time, so I naturally have a lot to say, and I don't think Madam Wang San will stop me."
As soon as Tang Mingyan finished speaking, she saw a dozen guards with swords taking a step forward.
Li had never seen such a strong murderous aura before and was immediately very angry.
"Forget it. If you don't want this marriage, I, as your legal mother, can't be the bad guy! I'll go report to the old lady now and let her make the decision for you!"
Li was very angry. The mother and daughter were already grasshoppers in her hands and there was no way they could escape. Who could have thought that someone would interfere!
She couldn't bear to see the mother and her two sons making friends with a nobleman, and she was resentful in her heart, but she didn't dare to really offend Tang Mingyan, so she could only push the matter away.
After all, the old lady is the head of the family. How could she allow anyone to humiliate the Wang family like this?
"A good marriage? How can a girl from your Wang family have a good marriage..."
Tang Mingyan was about to continue mocking when she saw Zhou Haoxuan walking out.
"Princess, now that we have seen the person, let's set off immediately. After all, it is getting late."
Zhou Haoxuan interrupted Tang Mingyan and said that it was meaningless to argue with the Wang family now, so it would be better to take the people away first.
"Okay, it's all up to you."
Tang Mingyan was so obedient that Tang Mingzhen, who was standing behind her in disguise, felt a little uneasy.
Why is this guy so gentle towards his sister?
My sister clearly has a carefree personality and doesn't feel shy at all even when she's with men.
But now, she is shy!
What's so good about Zhou Haoxuan?
Why did my sister change like this?
Tang Mingzhen just felt it was too infuriating.
It's like the flower you carefully grew at home is now coveted by someone and they want to take it away.
Would he be willing to do that?!
So, Tang Mingzhen stood directly between the two of them, so that no one could see anyone else!
