Ever since his thoughts were broken by Zhilan that day, Li Shaowen has always felt unable to face her these days, and is most afraid of seeing her indifferent expression and eyes that see through everything.

Fortunately, he has been busy preparing for the marriage, so he just avoided seeing him with an excuse.

The Li family invited a matchmaker to discuss with Ji Siniang in detail, settled the cost of "encouragement", took back Yanying's deed of sale, watched the matchmaker transfer the deed to him, and brought it to Yanying.

Yan Yingwan never expected that Li Shaowen would act so swiftly and resolutely, let alone that he would hand over the contract of sale to her and let her dispose of it.

"You're free." He smiled.

At this moment Yanying shed tears, she took the thin paper, stared at her name and the scarlet fingerprints on it, she ruthlessly tore the thin paper until it became like snowflakes fragments so far.

No matter how good Si Niang treats her, as long as this deed of selling herself exists, it will be the shackles of her life and a stumbling block in her pursuit of a better new life. Inferior and unable to lift her head, she stared gratefully at the majestic man in front of her.

"Just wait patiently for two days. A bridal sedan chair will come to pick you up then." Li Shaowen put his hands obliquely in his trouser pockets and said to the tearful Yan Ying with a smile.

Yan Ying couldn't say anything, she took out her handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes, joy, gratitude, and touch merged into a line of crystal clear teardrops, she took the initiative to stick her soft red lips, and Li Shaowen hugged her tightly Leaving her, restless hands stretched towards a pair of plump and soft...

The day Yan Ying longed for day and night finally arrived.

Early in the morning, a servant girl dressed her up, but it was not until late in the evening that a small sedan chair waited for the bride to go out in front of the door.

Yan Ying, who was covered with a veil, was helped by a female guest from Quanfu onto the bridal sedan chair.

Someone was picking up the sedan chair curtain.Yan Ying arched her body and bent down to sit in the sedan chair.

She felt the bridal sedan chair being lifted up, and the four-person sedan chair was swaying.Fortunately, she refrained from eating today, otherwise I'm afraid her stomach will be overwhelmed with discomfort.

Fortunately, Yong'anli is not far from Li's residence, this small sedan chair was carried in through the side door while it was dark.Listening to the "squeaky" sound of the door, Yanying's eyes were full of doubts about the road ahead and the expectation of seeing Li Shaowen soon.

Her sedan chair landed in the front yard.After getting out of the sedan chair, Quanfu female guest led her out, led her across the brazier, and handed her over to Li Shaowen who was waiting at the side.

The newlyweds came in, Master Li and his wife sat in the hall separately, and Zhilan sat on the right to watch the ceremony. She looked at Li Shaowen who was wearing a brocade suit, and suddenly remembered her wedding.The Li Shaowen in her impression was simply not compatible with the man in front of her, it seemed like a lifetime away.She was sitting upright on the chair, watching the ceremony as if nothing had happened.

She glanced at Jingru and Shaowu on the chair, and Jingru's eyes were sweeping over with a smile that was not a smile, and she seemed to say to her, "You have today too?" There was no news from there, why did she suffer such humiliation here.

Yan Ying is a concubine, she doesn't have to wait until the ceremony is over to uncover her hijab, Li Shaowen directly uses the "Ruyi pole" to lift her hijab, and the next step is to serve tea.

Wan Xinqiao took the daughter-in-law's tea again, she glanced at Zhilan intentionally or unintentionally, and took a sip expressionlessly.Master Li took the tea and said, "Okay, okay!" He drank it with a smile on his face.The most important thing is that the son can bloom as soon as possible. The relationship between Shao Wenzhilan and his wife is so tense that they have fallen asleep in separate rooms. When will they be able to hug their grandson?Now that a newcomer has entered the mansion, he is satisfied and happy.

After Yan Ying finished respecting the old lady, the servants removed the tray and replaced it with a new one, with only a cup of tea on it.

Someone invited her to offer tea to Zhilan.

Yanying went to fetch the cup as usual, and when her fingertips touched the teacup, she shrank slightly.not good!It's so hot, how can I hold it!
Her mind was spinning rapidly, she was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that someone was plotting against her.Could it be... The young mistress gave her a blow?She couldn't help but think of what Zhou Jingru said to her. Could it be that this person in front of her is as pale as a chrysanthemum, who seems to be indifferent to the world?She was a little dazed.

"Please ask the new aunt to offer tea to the eldest grandma." The servant reminded.This cup of tea is still a hot potato, Yanying thought for a while, and pulled out the handkerchief she was wearing from her pocket.

She held the cup with her onion-like fingertips in one hand, held the cup with a handkerchief in the other hand, held it in front of Zhilan, and said with a smile: "Sister, please drink tea, I'm afraid there is water in this cup, don't stain my sister's clothes."

Zhilan has been carefully watching her movements, seeing that she flinched when she stretched out her hand to take it, and she held it with a handkerchief again, something must be wrong, she was smart and simply took the handkerchief together.

The body of the cup is so hot, Zhi Lan's heart is clear immediately, someone has made a move, if she is not careful, she may fall into the trap, but fortunately she is as careful as a hair and is safe.

Zhilan touched her lips, just put the cup back on the tray, returned the handkerchief to Yanying, and smiled politely: "My sister has a heart, thank you sister."

Li Shaowen listened to Zhilan's usual tone, neither sad nor happy expression, and a somewhat ritualized light smile hung on his cheeks.He kind of missed the grand wedding with her at that time, and his mood was different from today's. If he said that today's concubine would still bring some anger and resentment.At the beginning, I was really happy from the bottom of my heart. At that time, Zhilan who was holding her arm still had a heart, and she would not play with him wearing a thick mask like now.right!It's just acting, Li Shaowen thinks it's really fucking hypocritical and ironic.

After toasting tea and eating a simple banquet, the real highlight of the newcomer is the next step - sending them to the bridal chamber.

In the evening, Yancui fetched water for Zhilan to wash her face, and the two chatted about serving tea.

"Who do you think did what happened today? Whether it's me or Ms. Qiao, they are all targets of calculations. The other party wants to kill two birds with one stone. It's a good plan!"

"How can you kill two birds with one stone?" Yan Cui was puzzled.

"Don't you understand? This cup of tea is so hot. If Ms. Qiao misses it, someone will say that she doesn't understand the rules and etiquette and neglect her regular wife; if I drop the cup by mistake, then I will definitely pass on my jealousy to the newcomers." Auntie looked at her face. Neither I nor she could be wrong. Fortunately, she was clever and held up the handkerchief. I think, since this kind of thing has started, we are afraid that we will never live in peace again." Zhilan sighed.

"Miss, don't worry, we just need to be more careful." Yan Cui persuaded, waiting for Zhilan to wash her hands and face, and took a basin to pour water for her.

"You're right. Anyway, it's useless to think about it. Let's see what happens." Zhilan said to the mirror, applying cream.

Yan Cui opened the door, raised her head abruptly, unexpectedly someone was standing in front of the door, she was greatly surprised, and said: "Master, you..."

Li Shaowen didn't answer and she went straight into the room.

"Why are you here?" Man talked about Yan Cui, Zhi Lan was also quite surprised, he should be in the new house at this time.

"... Come and see you." Li Shaowen leaned against the door and said in a calm voice.

"I'm fine." Zhilan turned her head to look at him, "Today is your day of great joy, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years and an early baby."

"When did it become like this between us?!" After hearing this, Li Shaowen was not as annoyed as he was in the past. He was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed quietly.

"It's getting late, you should go to accompany her, don't make her wait." Zhilan was about to go to bed, and she lowered her head to pack her things, "I should go to bed too, you go."

No echo was heard, and a corner of the curtain was lifted by a gust of draft.Zhilan raised her eyes and saw that Li Shaowen had already left, the door was open, and it was pitch black outside.

After that day, Li Shaowen never came to Zhilan's room again.

Zhilan only saw him at meals every day, and sometimes Yanying would pick up food for him coquettishly, but Li Shaowen accepted it peacefully and didn't say much.

Zhilan watched Yanying adapt to the environment from jerky to habit, and listened to people talking about how the eldest young master loves and dotes on the new concubine, and it is not the same for the young mistress...

When Yan Cui delivered the tea, she happened to hear the maids chatting together.

The maid Shuangling said: "Yesterday, I served a tremella lotus seed soup. It was a little late, and I was sent by my aunt to redo it. I just said that the weather is getting cold and the young master can't eat cold food. If I make a mistake, Steward Fu will detain me." The monthly case is really infuriating."

"You are still an old man who is used to serving the young master. How come you don't know that the young master doesn't care about these things all the time."

"That's not true!" Shuang Ling said, "The world has changed, but there is a big Buddha above him that cannot be offended."

"It's still the eldest young mistress who treated us well back then." Someone sighed.

"What's the use? If you can't catch a man's heart in the courtyard of this kind of house, it's tantamount to wasting your youth in vain, and you end up with nothing. Have you heard that two years ago, the imperial concubine who was admired by thousands of people in the Forbidden City was not also The emperor is divorced, and he even used a new word, what is called divorce, it is nothing but the imperial concubine putting gold on her face." Fenghuang also joined the discussion, she had heard the second young master read a newspaper at Zhou's house before, and she still remembered this incident Old things in Jinmen.

"That's reasonable. But we can't be masters, don't dream of being nobles, but I am willing to serve my new aunt, at least she will give generously."

"That's right..." someone echoed.

Yan Cui quietly bypassed them and left, telling Zhi Lan what she heard, in exchange for a slight smile.

After the family affairs settled down, Li Shaowen took out the agreement signed with Mr. Qi and read it. There were still a few days before the end of the agreement, so he hurried to Guangjiang Wharf, where he met Qi Guanshan, who was in charge.

"What's wrong with you, third, why are you so sad after not seeing you for so many days?" Qi Guanshan was ranked third, and everyone he knew called him third, Li Shaowen greeted him for a while, and said with a smile.

"Mr. Li, don't mention it, I've been a bit of a motherfucker lately. Since Lao Qi calculates that the transportation fee for Wande Trading Company has been reduced by [-]%, he is a favor and doesn't want to suffer for himself. Many workers have been resigned. We have less money and more work here. Wande Commercial goods arrive frequently. We dock workers work overtime day and night. Who doesn’t complain? He is old and pushes Zhou Muqing. Brothers have big opinions. If I hadn't been playing tricks on the old relationship with Lao Qi, the subordinates would have wanted to go on strike, and Lao Qi didn't know what to do."
