Mr. Li endured hardship himself, and it didn't matter what kind of situation he was in. However, he was reluctant to let Su Wan endure hardship, so he repeatedly made exceptions and prepared the best things for her, which made his vest shaky.
Su Wan was a little surprised when he heard Wang's words: "How dare you lie to grandma? Mr. Li gave this to me just now when he came to the door, and asked me to wear it on the Dragon Boat Festival."
It has always been a tradition for women to wear pomegranate flowers and calamus leaves during the Dragon Boat Festival. Although Su Wan and Li Lin did not have a grand ceremony to get engaged, this matter was unchangeable. It was indeed reasonable for Mr. Li to give her a hairpin.
Mrs. Wang held the pomegranate hairpin in her hand and examined it for a moment, feeling more and more confused.
Something is wrong with this Li Lin.
In her impression, Li Lin was a student from a poor family. In the spring of this year, he failed to pass the exam. In terms of status, he was just a small scholar. However, in what happened next, Li Lin's performance was really impressive. She was confused.
First, he invited Mrs. Jing to come to propose marriage. He also said that his father, Mr. Li, was kind to the Jing family, so the Jing family did him this favor and the gift was also heavy. Thinking about the existence of the Jing family, Wang thought it was The Mirror family prepared it for him.
But the jade he chose and the hairpin he gave to Su Wan were not accessible to ordinary people.
If she hadn't known his identity, Wang would have thought that the one who was going to be engaged to Su Wan was the eldest son of that high-ranking clan, so he could afford such a heavy gift for Su Wan.
Su Wan asked Wang: "Grandma, is there anything wrong with this hairpin?!"
Wang shook her head, inserted the hairpin back into Su Wan's head, and then shook her head: "Of course there is nothing wrong. Wan is tired, so go back and rest."
Su Wan was indeed tired, so he didn't refuse: "Then A Wan will go back first. Father said he would come back later."
Wang patted her hand and said, "I understand. You should go back and have a good rest."
Su Wan said goodbye and left. As soon as she left the door, the smile on Wang's face faded and cooled down little by little. Then she turned around and went to the bedroom to see Marquis Jinning.
"You arrange for two people to check on Li Lin."
While the Marquis of Jinning was "recuperating", he had nothing to do and could not go out, so he read the military book. At this time, no one was left in the dormitory. He was lying on a recliner with a book in his hand.
It was strange to hear Wang tell him to send someone to check Li Lin.
Mrs. Wang came over, sat down on a round stool nearby, reached for his book, and then said, "I always feel that something is wrong with him."
Marquis Jinning frowned: "What's wrong?!"
Wang put the book aside: "You don't care what's wrong, you need to investigate what needs to be investigated. Ah Wan wants to get engaged to him. If you don't find out, there is really something going on here, and it will be Ah Wan who will suffer." lifetime."
These two couples are not ordinary people. They are not lacking in skills and brains. Otherwise, the wild boys and little ladies from the mountain village in the past would not have become the Marquis and Madam Marquis of Jinning today, and they will have planned for future generations for hundreds of years.
The Wang family was born in the mountains, and when she first came to the imperial city with the Marquis of Jinning, she was indeed looked down upon by others. But twenty years later, when everyone talks about her now, it is the Marquis of Jinning who talks about her, not the Marquis of Jinning back then. The words on her lips were still filled with contempt and disdain for Mrs. Wang, a woman from the mountain village.
Marquis Jinning pondered for a moment: "Then let's check it out. It's good to find out clearly."
There is no harm in checking it out and knowing the details.
"He took Lao San, his wife and A Wan to see the house today. How's it going?!"
Wang said: "I have decided on the Qingfeng Courtyard, which was the former home of Dean Zhao Qingshan and Mrs. Zhenhua. I thought that the courtyard had always been in the hands of the Zhao family, but I didn't expect it and I don't know when it was sold."
In the past, President Zhao and Mrs. Zhen Hua of Qingfeng Villa would occasionally come here to receive friends and hold activities such as tea banquets and poetry gatherings. It was also called the Banquet of Qingfeng, so it was considered a famous place.
A hundred years after Dean Zhao and Mrs. Zhenhua, outsiders thought that the Zhao family wanted to keep this villa, so they did not dare to go to the Zhao family to buy it, even if they were thoughtful.
"Didn't you say that it was a reward from His Majesty? Could it be that this courtyard is in His Majesty's hands?!"
Wang glanced sideways at him and asked, "Master Marquis, do you think this is really a reward from His Majesty?!"
If His Majesty wanted to give Princess Suwan the palace, he would certainly not have gone to such trouble. He would have asked his subordinates to pick out the suitable one, and just wave the reward away. It is indeed not His Majesty's style to let others choose.
Marquis Jinning pondered for a moment: "But if it wasn't His Majesty's intention, where did he get the house and dare to use His Majesty's name? If the matter spread, he would be accused of falsely passing the Holy Order. "
This crime is not a small one.
Wang frowned: "This matter is indeed a bit strange."
The Marquis of Jinning had no choice but to take this matter seriously and quickly sent people to investigate Li Lin's background.
At this time, Aunt Mei knocked on the door and reported: "Master Marquis, madam, the prince's wife wants to see you."
"What's she doing here?!" Mrs. Wang was a little annoyed when she thought of Mrs. Yang and didn't want to see her. "Let her go back and say I'm taking a rest."
Meigu said: "The prince's wife said that she wanted to see the Marquis and his wife for something. If the Marquis and his wife don't see her, she will not leave."
Wang frowned, and Marquis Jinning put a thin quilt over his body to cover his body. Wang had no choice but stretched out his hand to press his quilt, and then said: "Then please invite the Crown Prince's wife to come in."
Yang had already made preparations. If Wang and Marquis Jinning didn't see her, she would wait here until they did. She didn't expect to achieve her goal so quickly. She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and felt confident again. .
As Mei Gu entered the inner room, Yang could smell the strong smell of medicine in the room. The smell was bitter and astringent, lingering on the tip of her nose, making her want to vomit and feeling like her whole body was filled with that smell of medicine.
At this time, Marquis Jinning was lying on a recliner, covered with a thin quilt, and Mrs. Wang was feeding him water.
Yang had no choice but to step forward and salute: "Father, mother-in-law, father-in-law is feeling better today?!"
Wang said: "Not bad, what do you mean you came here today?!"
Yang also knew that Wang didn't like her, so she didn't plan to stay long, so she directly stated her purpose of coming: "It's nothing, just the third son of Prince Zhao's palace sent a message saying that he wanted to invite Afu to watch the dragon boat race with him. .”
"I'm not thinking that our family won't be going to the house this year. The younger ones can go if they want to, so as not to stay in the house with us old people."
Zhao Mingyan and Su Fu were already engaged. Originally, if Prince Zhao's palace had sent a notice to invite Su Fu, Yang herself would have agreed.
But when Su Ran came back that day, Su Fu rushed up and beat Su Ran and then the prince. Now she has been grounded by the Marquis of Jinning. Without the order of the Marquis of Jinning, who would have dared to release her.
Therefore, Yang only made this trip to beg the Marquis of Jinning to release Su Fu.
