Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

For the next period of time, the mansion became surprisingly quiet.

Lin Wan firmly sat on her position as the mistress of the house. After this incident, Lu Tingxu respected her even more. The servants in the mansion saw the change in the prince's attitude, and because Lin Wan had been fair and clear in rewards and punishments for such a long time, they all worked seriously and did not dare to be perfunctory.

Lin Wan's life is going smoothly.

Except for occasionally going out, Lu Tingxu stayed in the mansion all the time. He was either quarreling with Yanliu, then making up with her inexplicably, or just sitting with Chunfeng.

One day, Lin Wan had just finished meeting with the housekeeper in the courtyard when she heard An Huan trotting over to report

"Young Madam, Madam Li from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and Miss Li from the General's Mansion are here."

Hearing Li Weining's name, Lin Wan remembered the last time she saw her in Moxiangzhai, and immediately closed the account book in her hand, "Please come in."

He also stood up and went out to greet them. As soon as he walked out of the room, he saw the sisters Li Suining and Li Weining being welcomed into the yard.

Unlike his usual lively and cheerful appearance, today Li Weining turned his head away guiltily as soon as he made eye contact with Lin Wan.

"Good sister, we came uninvited, did we not disturb you?"

Li Suining greeted with a smile.

Lin Wan walked up to her side, took her arm affectionately, and said with a smile: "I wish my sister would come often, how can I say it's disturbing!"

As he said this, he looked at Li Weining who was silent on the other side and smiled, "Sister Weining, what happened in the past few days? Are you unfamiliar with me?"

Li Suining followed her gaze and looked at her own sister, and saw that she blushed and stomped her feet, "Sister Lin, you, you are annoying."

Having said that, he went into the house without waiting for the other two.

Li Suining shook her head helplessly and said to Lin Wan, "You are becoming more and more ignorant of etiquette. Today, we two sisters came to you presumptuously. I think you know some things better than me. She said something unclear, and I was also confused when I heard it, so I came here specially to ask you."

"Sister, let's go inside and talk." Lin Wan smiled and led her into the house. They saw Li Weining standing inside the house, turning his body away from them.

After the maid brought tea and snacks, Lin Wan asked everyone to leave.

"Okay, Sister Weining, there's no one else here now. How long are you going to be so awkward?"

Li Suining was also in a dress and said angrily: "Okay, okay, I brought you here today just to help you. If you do this again, I will go back to my mother."

"Don't..." Li Weining said anxiously when he heard this.

When she turned around, she saw her two sisters looking at her with a smile, and she couldn't help blushing again.

"Sister Lin, I won't hide it from you. My parents have been worrying about this girl's marriage. It was thanks to you that you reminded them about Meng Yucheng last time." Li Suining said gratefully, holding Lin Wan's hand.

"As a result, my family was worried about her every day. They mentioned several candidates, but she refused to agree. Then she suddenly came to me yesterday and told me that she had found someone she liked. I was shocked."

Lin Wan couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this. Li Suining helplessly tapped his sister's forehead and continued, "But no matter how much I asked, this girl just refused to tell me who it was. She only said that he was very talented and better than the one my parents had found."

"You said she was at home every day, and the people she knew were all from her uncles' families. How could such a talented person suddenly appear? I was afraid that she was deceived, so I immediately thought about going back to find my parents, but she said you know. That's why I hurried over to ask you."

Li Weining's face turned red as she listened to her sister's words, but she couldn't help but defend herself: "I'm not a liar."

"Do all the scammers nowadays hold up a sign telling you that they are scammers?"

Lin Wan looked at Li Weining, who finally opened her mouth but was blocked by her sister, and couldn't help laughing. After holding it in for a long time, she finally said, "I don't know much, but I saw Sister Weining dressed in men's clothes and reading in the study room when I went out last time."

"Okay, you're also a woman dressed as a man!"

When Li Suining heard Lin Wan's words, he immediately reached out to grab his sister's ears.

Lin Wan hurriedly held her back and gently advised, "Sister, don't worry. The student's name is Ye Zexian. He is a candidate staying in the study. He has good academic knowledge and good character. I can guarantee this. Sister Weining is not lying."

Li Suining felt relieved after hearing Lin Wan say this.

"Okay, tell me the truth. How did you get to know him and how things have developed so far?"

"What? How far has it come? He and I are innocent, and he doesn't even know who I am!"

"I don't even know who you are, and you're telling me you like me?"

“Oh…sister!”

Seeing that the two sisters were about to freeze again, Lin Wan hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Then Weining, how did you know him?"

Li Weining raised his head, looked at the green leaves outside the window, and said very seriously: "The first time I met him was when I went to that store to buy the four treasures of the study. My mother said that I wanted to find a scholar every day, but my handwriting was so ugly that no one would like it. I was so angry that I wanted to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone to practice well. But I didn't know anything about those pens and inks. He introduced and recommended them to me one by one."

"I thought he was a clerk in the store, but his speech and behavior didn't seem like one, so I asked him a few more questions. I guess we got to know each other."

"That's it? What happened next?"

"I went there again later and happened to see him debating with someone. It was the first time I realized that the arguments in those books could be understood in this way. They were even better than what the young masters I met at those poetry gatherings and tea parties before!"

When Li Weining said this, he seemed to remember Ye Zexian standing in the crowd. Although he had no expression on his face, every word he said made people want to admire him.

"Later, one time when I was about to go back home after listening to a debate, I accidentally pushed the bookshelf in the store when I was leaving. He rescued me in time and helped me rearrange the bookshelf."

Lin Wan: “…” It’s his job to organize the bookshelf, girl.

However, she couldn't say anything to dampen her feelings when they were just beginning to grow.

"You didn't bring anyone with you?"

"How could I dare to bring anyone with me? I always sneaked out because I was afraid that my mother would catch me and scold me."

Li Suining: "..."

"Then does he know that you are dressed as a man?"

"He knew it the first time I went there dressed as a man, but he didn't expose me."

After saying this, Li Weining felt sweet and a little embarrassed. She pulled Li Suining's arm and said coquettishly, "Good sister, I really have nothing to do with Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye has excellent character and is upright. He helped me, but I refused even when I asked him to have dinner with me. I went over to play, but he said that men and women should not be intimate with each other, so I shouldn't go."

"Is that really all?"

"I swear!" Li Weining raised his hand seriously and was about to swear.

"Okay, okay, I don't need you to swear." Li Suining rolled his eyes at her, but his worried heart was also relieved.

Ever since she heard the girl say yesterday that she had someone she liked, she has been extremely worried, afraid that she was being deceived. She has only one biological sister, and the family is most worried about her marriage.

The reason he came to Lin Wan today was to find out who that person was. Now that he had Lin Wan's guarantee, and that nothing had really happened between the two of them, Li Suining felt relieved.
