Mrs. Li said: "I thought so too. For this reason, I went back to the prime minister's house and asked my father to help me investigate."
Wu Erlin asked: "How is it? Did my father-in-law find anything?"
Mrs. Li shook her head, "No, I've searched and searched, but I haven't found any connection between the two houses.
What's even more outrageous is that Mrs. Qian of the Ning Mansion once went to the Hou Mansion with the engagement contract, tore it up with her own hands and called off the marriage.
But Le Geer is holding on to the fact that the marriage contract was made by Mr. Hou and Mr. Ning. No one alive has the right to break the contract. Those of the younger generation must abide by the agreement. "
Le Geer insists on abiding by the agreement?
Also, the people of Weiyuanhou Mansion regard promises as more important than fate.
Wu Erlin frowned slightly and asked, "What's the attitude of Mr. Hou and Rong'er?"
Mrs. Li said: "I'm not sure about Master Hou's attitude. Rong'er didn't agree with it at first, but it seemed like he couldn't win over Brother Le. Now he's on Brother Le's side."
Mrs. Li criticized Wu Errong for siding with Shi Jingyang, and her words were full of dissatisfaction.
Wu Erlin looked at Mrs. Li who was looking unwilling, and asked: "What do you think, Madam? Are you still thinking about Brother Le and Sister Yi?"
Mrs. Li let out a long sigh and said, "Master, it's not that I want to arrange this marriage.
Sister Yi really couldn't let go and cried all day long.
The master knows that Sister Yi grew up in her mother's yard. When she needed care, I failed to fulfill my mother's duties.
I feel I owe Sister Yi and I can’t bear to see her sad."
"But, forceful behavior is not sweet. Brother Le doesn't have Sister Yi in his heart. If we force Brother Le to marry Sister Yi, Sister Yi may not have a good life either." Wu Erlin said worriedly.
The Hou Mansion had no intention of marrying him, and Wu Erlin didn't want to force it.
The daughter of a high-ranking family in the Duke's mansion is worried about getting married, so why bother to embarrass others and wrong yourself?
Mrs. Li said: "Brother Le's temperament means that if he really marries Sister Yi, he will not make Sister Yi feel wronged."
Wu Erlin thought for a while and said: "That's right, the people in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion act openly and aboveboard.
Le Ge'er and Yi Jie'er grew up together and were childhood sweethearts, so they are also in love.
If Brother Le really marries Sister Yi, he should not wrong Sister Yi."
Mrs. Li put down the cup in her hand, looked at Wu Erlin and said: "Sir, the family tradition of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion is good. If Yi'er marries her, she will surely enjoy endless blessings.
I want to fight for Sister Yi. Perhaps Le Ge'er was moved by Sister Yi's infatuation and agreed to marry our Sister Yi.
If you don’t try, how will you know it’s not working? Isn’t it?”
This is the truth. The men in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion are good-looking, affectionate and righteous, responsible and responsible.
Wu Erlin met Li's burning eyes and agreed with Li's statement in his heart. He couldn't say anything against it. He asked: "How do you plan to try, madam?"
Mrs. Li felt much better when she saw Wu Erlin agreed.
Said: "There is no specific way at the moment, I plan to test Rong'er's story first.
Rong'er watched Sister Yi grow up, and Rong'er always treated Sister Yi very well. There was a deep affection between them as aunt and nephew.
I’ll take a look at Rong’er’s attitude first, and then think of something else.”
Wu Erlin thought this was a good idea and nodded in agreement, "Okay, you go to Rong'er's place first to find out what's going on.
On my side, I also asked Mr. Hou to sit with him and see his attitude."
Mrs. Li said: "Okay, let's work separately and discuss it later to see what method is best?"
Seeing that the matter was almost done, Wu Erlin looked up at the hourglass, thinking that if he rushed over now, he could still catch up.
So he stood up and said, "Okay, just do as Madam said. I have something else to do, so I'll go ahead.
I came back late today, so I took a rest in the outer courtyard, Madam, you don’t have to wait for me."
Wu Erlin said as he walked and quickly left the Nuan Pavilion.
"Master, you..." Mrs. Li shouted as she stood up, but her shout failed to stop Wu Erlin.
Aunt Huang entered the door and looked at Mrs. Li who was standing there.
He sighed slightly and said, "Madam, it's dinner time, would you like them to bring the food over?"
Mrs. Li thought for a while and said: "Put the food in the old lady's room, and I will go to the old lady's place to eat."
She still had to test the old lady's tone.
In the East Palace, the prince finished processing the official documents on the table, raised his head and rolled his neck.
Just as he was about to get up, Lu Qichuan knocked on the door and came in. After bowing and saluting, he said: "Your Highness, I received a tip that Ning, the concubine of King Chen, went to the Daxiangguo Temple to offer incense today.
She saw many refugees along the way. Seeing the hardship of the refugees, Concubine Ning made a suggestion to Master Huikong, the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple.
Set up a porridge shed in the name of Daxiangguo Temple and do your best to do some good deeds for the refugees.
Concubine Ning donated 10,000 taels of silver on the spot to buy grain, and later she also ran to raise funds for the matter.
After news of Concubine Ning's charity spread, Concubine Ning's maternal family responded immediately, and the Zhao family of Qinglian Lane donated 50,000 taels of silver.
Zhao Hequan had some appeal in Beijing's business district. When people from the business houses saw that Zhao Hequan had donated, they all followed suit.
In two hours, Daxiangguo Temple received more than 200,000 taels of donations."
The prince was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Well, yes, the third child is lucky to have married a concubine who is kind-hearted and willing to do good."
Lu Qichuan asked: "Your Highness, how should we deal with this matter?"
The prince cast his gaze on Lu Kaiyuan not far away and asked, "Sir, where are you looking?"
Lu Kaiyuan, Prince's Young Master, Lu Pengfei's father.
Prince Lu Kaiyuan bowed to the prince and said with a smile: "What Concubine Ning is doing is a great charity that benefits the country and the people. Your Highness just cooperates."
The prince smiled and nodded, "Sir, what you said makes sense. Such good deeds are touching and should be praised and worthy of everyone's learning. If someone sends fifty thousand taels of silver, we will do our best."
Lu Qichuan was stunned and couldn't react for a moment, so he asked: "Are we adding fuel to the fire of Prince Chen's mansion?"
Lu Kaiyuan smiled and said: "General Lu's words are wrong. We are doing our best to help the disaster and add fuel to Concubine Ning's good deeds."
"But, how many people in the capital are staring at the East Palace? Every move we make is under the eyes of others. This move of ours..."
When Lu Qichuan said this, he suddenly thought of something. He looked at the prince with bright eyes and said, "I understand, I'll do it now."
After saying that, Lu Qichuan bowed towards the prince and exited the study.
"Wait!" the prince shouted.
Lu Qichuan immediately stopped, leaned forward and asked, "What other instructions does your Highness have?"
The prince said: "You should do this yourself.
We need to do it solemnly to show that we value it, but we must not be too solemn and overwhelm the guest. Do you understand?"
Lu Qichuan smiled and assured: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will take care of it."
Seeing his understanding, the prince smiled and waved, "Go ahead."
