Chapter 69 The Dandy Prince's White Moonlight
The purpose of Li's mother's visit was so strong that it was impossible to pretend not to know.
He simply wanted to attend the Marquis's wife's banquet and use it to move into the upper class.
But she forgot one thing.
The wife of Marquis Anle invited the women of the Shi family, who had nothing to do with her.
When Madam Shi married Shi Lian, it was considered a marriage of high status, and the Li family had no qualifications to attend the banquet at the Marquis' Mansion.
All I can say is that Li's mother really can't see the situation clearly.
"Sister, what gift do you think I should choose for Madam Hou?"
"I brought a piece of jade, why don't you help me take a look at it?"
Mother Li held Madam Shi's hand and chattered incessantly, making people feel headache.
Shi Li has developed a deep relationship with Mrs. Shi during this period. He couldn't bear to see her in trouble, so he stepped forward under the instigation of the barrage.
"Aunt also wants to go to the Marquis' Mansion?"
She looked surprised, then blinked innocently.
Mother Li's attention was drawn to her and she looked at her with a frown.
"What are you talking about, kid? The Marquis's Mansion has already sent out invitations..."
"But the invitation was sent to the Shi family, and my aunt's surname is Li." Shi Li said very directly.
Seeing that Li's mother looked suspicious, she acted even more innocent.
"Actually, it's not impossible for my aunt to go, but I heard that someone who was not invited to the princess' banquet sneaked in and was beaten by the public. I'm worried about my aunt."
In ancient times, when someone was beaten with a stick, they had to take off their pants before being beaten, let alone in public.
Although Li's mother wanted to secure a future for her son, she turned pale when she heard this and stammered, "Don't scare me. I'm with my sister, so how can I be considered a traitor..."
"What Lili said is true." Madam Shi spoke at the right time, looking at Li's mother tenderly, "Of course I want to take my sister-in-law with me, but if Madam Hou is unhappy, I can't stop her."
Mother Li’s face turned even paler.
Shi Li suppressed her laughter, frowned and said worriedly: "I heard that the lady was divorced by her husband's family when she returned last year."
"I, I'd better not go." Mother Li immediately changed her mind and looked at Madam Shi anxiously, "Then the gift..."
"Since my sister-in-law is not going, there is no need to give any gifts." Mrs. Shi smiled.
The Marquis's wife would never know that you exist.
The truth always hurts.
Watching Mother Li leave in panic, Shi Li winked at Madam Shi slyly, "Mother, did I do well?"
"Of course. My Lili is already able to share my worries." Mrs. Shi put her arm around Shi Li's shoulders and answered gently.
She was a very generous mother, and then she gave her eldest daughter a complete set of head ornaments, asking her to wear them when she went to the marquis's mansion for banquets.
No girl can resist expensive and shining jewelry. Shi Li happily fiddled with the jewel-studded headpiece, but her face froze when she heard Mrs. Shi's next words.
Madam Shi said meaningfully: "Lili is not young anymore, it's time for her to dress up properly."
The meaning of this sentence, translated is -
You should get married.
All the hairs on Shi Li's body stood up, and she subconsciously wanted to refute.
But seeing the genuine smile on Mrs. Shi's face, he swallowed his words back and pretended that he didn't understand.
[After traveling through time, the anchor is still urged to get married. How miserable! 】
[Hehe, welcome to the adult world. ]
[My mom's expression when she urged me to go on a blind date was exactly the same as Mrs. Shi's, absolutely amazing! ]
Li's mother returned home in defeat and stayed in the house with a sad face.
She thought she could take this opportunity to marry into a prominent family. Her son was so outstanding, and even if she couldn't marry a princess, she could easily find a county lady.
But now all her dreams have gone awry.
How can I let the ladies know how outstanding their sons are?
Li's mother lost her appetite for the whole day because of this incident.
It was not until the evening that Li Liang came back from outside and greeted her.
"Mom looks a little haggard. I wonder what happened?" Li Liang, a filial child, could tell at a glance that his mother was worried.
When being greeted, Li's mother felt even sadder. Her son was so filial and honest, but he was dragged down by the family.
"My poor child, if you were born into a wealthy family..."
Listening to his mother's intermittent narration, Li Liang understood everything.
After all, he had been out and about recently, and he knew that Shi Li said that, most likely to scare Li's mother. It was okay for them to bring Li's mother along when they went to the Marquis's mansion for a banquet.
Ultimately, it comes down to unwillingness.
There is nothing wrong with this. If she doesn't want to, then forget it. But why do you want to scare your mother like this?
This incident made Li Liang feel very resentful towards his cousin Shi Li.
