After a while, Li Suhe returned to the same place from the outer study room. At this time, he was holding two pieces of jade that looked almost the same in texture.
Then, in front of everyone and a few people, he gently brought the two halves of the jade together along the gap in the remaining jade.
——Sure enough, the two jade pieces are perfectly matched, and they are indeed from the same piece of precious jade!
Li Suhe looked solemn, but he immediately held the two pieces of jade with tearful eyes and turned to look at Yu Anan blankly.
"...Niece Xian! It turns out it's really you!"
He carefully looked at Yu An'an's facial features, nodded happily and said: "The resemblance, it is indeed the same. I had a few encounters with my younger siblings many years ago, and you look very much like your mother. If I see where you go, "My wife is as good as she is now. I think I will be happy to come to Jiuquan. My son would rather get such a good wife. What else can I ask for?"
Xie Zhao, Ling You, and Han Changsheng exchanged glances calmly.
What do you mean?
This is... too fake, right?
Xie Zhao turned his gaze around Li Suhe's face with a half-smile, and then turned away calmly.
It's ridiculous. If the Li family really cares about the orphans and widowers of the Yu family, with the current powerful position of the Jiumen Admiral's Mansion, how come no one has come to Naji to ask for a betrothal gift?
Perhaps seeing the hesitation and pause among them, Li Suhe looked ashamed and explained with emotion:
"You must be wondering why the Li family didn't go to the house to congratulate the newlywed niece in the first two years... Actually, there was a reason for the incident, and it wasn't because the Li family didn't want to marry her. The willingness to fulfill the contract is not because the Li family intends to be disrespectful, but—"
When he said this, he glanced at the silent Li Suining with a complicated expression, then sighed and continued:
"This matter is a long story, and it can be regarded as a misfortune for the family... My son Suining has been sensible and decent since he was a child, and he is quite handsome. He has always had a somewhat virtuous reputation in Zhaoge City. So a distinguished person in the capital... also took a fancy to him. Alas..."
Oh, isn’t she Princess Pingyang?
Several people had already heard about this famous love affair from Xie Zhao beforehand, so they were not surprised at all at this time and exchanged tacit glances with each other with ease.
This is no longer a secret.
However, it is difficult for Mr. Li to be so loyal and patriotic and considerate of the royal dignity. At this time, he did not call the eldest princess Pingyang by her name, but was very careful to use "noble person" instead.
Li Suhe continued in a deep voice: "Since that noble man first met my son Suining, who was only nineteen years old five years ago, he has repeatedly said outrageous words in public. .....
——The noble man said that except for her, no one else in Zhaoge City is worthy of marrying my Suining family as his wife. If any noble girl dares to covet the man she likes, then don’t blame her. You're welcome, let them not even be able to become concubines in the future... Counting their age, niece Xian was still young at that time, still an eleven-year-old girl. "
Xie Zhao slowly raised his head calmly and looked at the Li family and his son.
Hearing this, Li Suhe lamented, and he shook his head and continued: "I naturally remember the engagement between my children and my daughter that I made with Yu Xiandi in the past. Although I have already hinted to you, Suining actually has an engagement. However, the noble people did not pay attention to her at all. In addition, we did not dare to reveal the family background of Zhang Yangxian's niece, so we were unable to go to Pingzhou to accept Cai's appointment in the mansion.
——Otherwise, if the noble man gets angry, he may harm the niece Xian’s family instead. So this matter has been delayed...so many years have passed. "
Xie Zhao curled his lips slightly when he heard this.
She chuckled in her heart: ...What a fucking nonsense, you look like a victim.
It is true that Li Suhe does not want his son to become the number one "cuckold king" in Zhaoge City, and he certainly does not want Princess Shang Pingyang, but he may not be sincere and considerate of the Yu family.
Otherwise, after so many years, we don’t need to be married. Wouldn’t it be so difficult to go around occasionally, arrange for servants to send gifts during the holidays, and inquire about the current situation of old friends?
It's a coincidence when you think about it.
It happened that there was a marriage in the Yu family that asked them to take out the cylinder, so they used their strength to deal with the eldest princess Pingyang.
The reason why the Li family never disclosed that the Yu family was their future in-laws was not really for Yu An'an's good. Li Suhe is probably worried that with the Yu family in such a state of poverty now, if Princess Pingyang knows that Li Suining's fiancée is Yu An'an and not another wealthy family nearby, she will become even more arrogant and domineering and go to Pingzhou to force the Yu family. Withdrawal from engagement......
——And if the Yu family really breaks off the engagement because they don't dare to offend the powerful, then the eldest son he is proud of will really have no choice but to retreat. He might marry the eldest princess of Pingyang and become the queen of Quanzhaoge City. laughing stock.
At this time, Li Suhe told them the pain of being forced into a "desperate situation", but in fact, he just wanted to make Yu Anan panic and fear and retreat, so that Mao returned to Pingzhou and continued to hide.
After another two years of this, when Yu An'an turns eighteen, Mrs. Yu will naturally not be able to bear it anymore. Maybe she is eager to marry her daughter, so she takes the initiative to break off the engagement with them.
At that time, it would not be regarded as a breach of trust by the Li family, and they could continue to keep silent and use the unfounded marriage contract to resist the pressure from the eldest princess Pingyang.
Xie Zhao almost wanted to applaud Admiral Li. He is so scheming and calculating - but it would be too unkind to use such thoughts on An An, a weak orphan girl who is only sixteen years old.
She sneered secretly, but fortunately Madam had her own mind, and Yu An'an was also a girl with backbone, and she didn't want to just marry into their Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion.
Sure enough, Yu Anan is actually a very smart little girl. How could the granddaughter of the Crown Prince Ning Wuji be really a fool? Naturally, she also heard the underlying meaning of Li Suhe's words.
So, after Yu An'an was silent for a moment, he suddenly smiled gently, his character was perfect.
"It's our Yu family's oversight that has put Li Shibo in trouble, and it's also my niece's fault. In fact, my niece's visit today is for no other reason than to return the plate jade that belonged to Li Shibo in the past on my mother's orders.
There is no marriage contract between our Li and Yu families. It was because my uncle was drunk that day and made a mistake. The marriage you and my father made after drinking was not about the in-laws of your children, but the acquaintances of Jinlan. "
Under the shocked eyes of Li Suhe and Li Suining, she turned around and bowed to Li Suining Yingying.
"My sworn sister Yu An'an has met my sworn brother."
Xie Zhao raised his hand, half covering the smile raised at the corner of his lips, almost bursting into laughter in his heart.
pretty!
The generals of Yu An'an's army are really beautiful!
