Chapter 76 The Dandy Prince's White Moonlight
Mrs. Shi was embroidering and felt that her eldest daughter must be up to no good when she called her like that, so she stopped embroidering and looked seriously at Shi Li who came in.
At the same time, Li's mother held a piece of letter paper and sighed repeatedly.
Of course she didn't really like Shi Li.
But the Li family sent a letter a few days ago, saying that the Li family was in a very bad situation because of the interest they had lent.
If Li Liang could become the son-in-law of the Shi family, it would be easier to ask Shi Lian for help if something happened in the future. The Li family felt that relying solely on the relationship with Madam Shi was far from enough.
They had a good plan and thought that since Shi Lian had no son, both the family business and connections would definitely be handed over to his son-in-law in the future.
In this case, the Li family, as in-laws, naturally cannot miss such a ready-made opportunity.
So, Li Liang's father wrote such a letter specifically to Li's mother.
In the letter, he earnestly urged her to try to arrange a marriage between Li Liang and the young lady of the Shi family as soon as possible.
As for whether to marry Shi Li or Shi Yuan, the Li family doesn't care.
Just let Li’s mother handle it herself.
In fact, Li's mother didn't like either of Mrs. Shi's two daughters.
After all, she is my sister-in-law's daughter, how could she be on the same page with me?
The daughter-in-law she wanted was, firstly, a lady of high family and nobility, preferably a princess born to a prince; secondly, someone who could be of the same mind and close to her, such as her own niece from her mother's side.
The daughter of the Shi family has neither of these characteristics, and Li's mother despises her very much.
But she couldn't convince the Li family. After tossing and turning for half the night, she finally decided to help Li Liang marry Shi Li.
Firstly, Shi Li is the eldest daughter, and secondly, Li's mother doesn't like the way Li Liang always sticks to Shi Yuan.
If the future daughter-in-law cannot be of the same mind as me, then she must not be too liked by Li Liang, otherwise she will definitely climb over my head.
Mother Li was picky in her mind but never thought about it.
Whether the Li family and Li Liang are a good match or not, all we can say is that their face is bigger than the sky.
"I understand. You don't have to worry about it. The farther away from them the better."
After hearing Shi Li's explanation, Mrs. Shi was extremely angry.
In front of his daughter, he could still remain calm and comfort her.
But after sending Shi Li away, he slammed the table heavily.
"The Li family is really going too far!"
Mrs. Shi never expected that her own family would be so calculating.
"Not to mention Lili and Yuanyuan, it would be an insult for my maid to marry him!"
Mrs. Shi's tone was cold. Her two daughters were everything to her.
The Li family's behavior finally wore away Madam Shi's last bit of affection for her natal family. She no longer had to care about the fact that Li Liang was her own nephew.
Shi Li got the confirmation from Madam Shi that she didn't think highly of Li Liang as her son-in-law, so she felt completely relieved.
Later that evening, Li's mother came to her room again and spoke earnestly, eager for quick success.
He also wanted to give her a paperweight that Li Liang often played with when she was a child.
"This paperweight is what Liang'er usually uses. He used to treasure it so much that he wouldn't allow anyone else to touch it." Mother Li held the paperweight in one hand, ready to put it into Shi Li's hand.
Shi Li's face turned green when she heard this, and she quickly took a step back to avoid it.
"Since it is my cousin's treasured item, how can I take it?" Shi Li said patiently, "Aunt, you should keep it well."
[Oh my god! This is the first time I’ve seen such a weird mother-in-law! ]
[Bah! She doesn't deserve it! Her son doesn't deserve it either! ]
[Host, hold on. What's the difference between marrying a family like this and jumping into a fire pit~~~]
The barrage has begun to rebel.
However, Li's mother seemed not to notice that Shi Li was rejecting her tactfully, or she noticed it but pretended not to.
"It's okay, you can play with it. What's your relationship with Liang'er? You're not an ordinary person!"
It seems like he doesn't understand what people are saying.
Shi Li's patience was never very high, and it was even more so when dealing with people she didn't like.
Since Qingye was the only one in the room now, he simply shook off Li's mother's hand and chuckled as he let her hit a nail that was neither soft nor hard.
"Aunt, although my cousin and I are cousins, there is a difference between men and women. We should avoid suspicion. I know what is called propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame."
This sentence is a disguised way of saying that some people have no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame.
As for who this person is, the person involved should know best.
Shi Li looked at the tattered paperweight, and suddenly four words popped up in her mind -
It’s against etiquette!
These four words made her feel strangely familiar.
Mother Li was not a fool. When she heard her words, not only did her hands stiffen, but she could no longer maintain her smile and her face turned pale with anger.
Her lips trembled. "What are you talking about? I'm your aunt!"
