Li Yuan didn't know much about the person Yan Jiao was marrying before.
When she heard what she said, she asked, "What's going on? Do you know anything?"
Mrs. Wang was also a little unsure, and just said: "I have been looking for someone in the city these days to find out who Jiaojiao was going to marry, and then I learned that he has already been married."
Li Yuan was a little confused. It was normal for someone to marry again after breaking off the engagement.
But since her mother said that, there must be something she didn't know, so she didn't ask and just waited for her mother to continue talking.
"Yuanniang, Jiaojiao was sad for a long time because of Chen Wu."
Li Yuan nodded, she knew this, her mother also told her.
However, it was her grandma who stayed with Jiaojiao at first, so her grandma knew what was going on better than she did.
"Jiaojiao has been in love with Chen Wu since she was a teenager, and she has become an old girl. This kind of perseverance is not something ordinary people can have. It can be said that she is very stubborn in emotions. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is stubborn."
"So when Chen Wu was like this girl, she was so cruel that she decided to leave. I actually found it strange, but I was also happy for her. I had been guiding her and accompanying her, thinking that this matter would pass with time."
Li Yuan heard what she was talking about, so she interrupted her: "Nai, tell me the main point, just why you think it has something to do with that man."
Mrs. Wang was about to start from the beginning when she was suddenly interrupted and she reached out and nodded her head.
"What's the rush? Just listen to me."
Having said that, the old lady went straight to the point.
"I heard that the man's current wife has known him for many years. I went to inquire about the woman and heard that they had known each other since childhood and were from the same village. It's just that the woman's family was not well-off, so the man My family doesn’t agree. By the way, the man’s family is from the village, and he will go back once a month after he gets rich.”
When Li Yuan heard this, her mind turned around and she understood.
"Nai, do you mean that Jiaojiao knew about this before she got married, and thought of herself and Chen Wu, so she overthought and became ill?"
Mrs. Wang nodded: "Well, I think this is very likely. Jiaojiao's aunt said that after the man's family broke off the engagement, Jiaojiao smiled very happily. She values love, maybe because she feels that if she doesn't get married, they have a lover. Being able to be together makes me smile happily."
When the old lady said this, she suddenly said: "By the way, Mrs. Lin also said that Jiaojiao went out before getting married, and she got sick the night she came back, and she became like this after that."
Li Yuan heard what her grandma said and thought it was possible.
When she went out, she might have been asked out by someone, and it was very likely that she was still the same girl.
Even if this was not the case, he must have seen the scene of the man and the woman together, and then became suspicious in his heart, so he went to inquire about it and found out the result.
But now that things are like this, it seems that there is no point in pursuing it.
If this is the case, the man is at fault, but it cannot cause death.
Jiaojiao's behavior is indeed caused by her own heart disease!
However, Ying Lei would find out the truth of this matter without her having to say anything.
Thinking about this, Li Yuan said: "Nai, Brother Xie and I could have stayed a little longer when we came back this time. But things have changed. We shouldn't be able to stay for a few days before we have to leave. By the way, you have received the letter Are you ready? Can Niang gave birth to two sons, one surnamed Li and the other surnamed Han."
The old lady nodded: "I got it. Your father and the clan are not very happy. They all think that your family is smart and the children should be suitable for studying in the future. However, their parents have already decided on this matter, and the clan has opinions. I can’t say anything.”
When Mrs. Wang said this, she changed the subject.
"Mother Yuan, since you can't stay for a few days, how about we have a banquet for the whole family tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? Everything is ready and waiting for you to come back. Did you see the stone tablet just now? There is also a road leading to the city. I’ve started working on it, but I don’t have time now, and I haven’t done much cultivation, so I can only wait for winter.”
When Li Yuan saw the old lady saying this, her eyes were full of pride, and her heart was also happy.
"Okay, you guys can make arrangements for this. Brother Xie said before that you just have to tell him how to cooperate when he comes back."
"There is no need for him to cooperate, as long as he is here. By the way, Yuan Niang, the clan has discussed that you and Shaoan will go to Dongfeng Mansion to take office this time. Junzi and the others are not with you, and there is no one around. Outsiders can't do it. Don’t worry, the clan has chosen two smart people to run errands for you when the time comes.”
Li Yuan didn't expect that the clan would still have this idea, so she rejected it directly.
"Nai, no need. We are not familiar with the place where we are going, and it will be troublesome to bring people there. As for the people who call us, Zhou Zi and the others are all trustworthy."
Mrs. Wang frowned and said seriously: "Yuan Niang, you are an official's wife now, so you can't do everything by yourself. Someone has to do the laundry, cooking and so on. Do you still let those men wash your clothes? No? If this thing spreads again, would it be ridiculous? "
As soon as Li Yuan opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Mrs. Wang before she could say anything.
"Don't tell me to go out and buy it! How do you know what the servant you just bought is like? Just take those two people with you. One is your sister-in-law Huang Xing from our village. Although she is not from our clan, she is He is from a village, he knows his roots well, and he is honest and responsible."
"There is another one, Er Gen. Although he is not very old, he is smart and has studied for two years. Your Uncle Hua hopes that he can follow him to see the world."
Li Yuan knew that Ergen was the grandson of Li Qinghua and the eldest son of Li Ligui and Song Yuanyuan.
He is thirteen or fourteen years old this year and is a half-grown young man.
At this age and with a good family, why not continue studying?
Perhaps seeing Li Yuan's doubts, Mrs. Wang said: "Ergen is smart, but he can't sit still. No matter how hard your uncle Hua forces him, it will be useless. Your brother Guizi said, then stay by your side and give it to you." It's just for running errands. You don't need to learn any great skills, just let him follow you and see the world."
Li Yuan: "..."
No, Sister-in-law Huang Xing can give it to her, but it’s not necessary for her ears, right?
Thinking of this, Li Yuan said directly: "Nah, Ergen, forget it. Brother Xie has Atai by his side, and there are Zhou Zi, Zhou Chou and others at home. If the clan really wants us to take him with us, then let Miaomiao Follow. She is already 11 or 12 years old and will be haircut in a few years. If she stays with me, her marriage will be easier in the future."
Mrs. Wang didn't expect that Li Yuan was willing to take Li Miao, and her eyes that were a little cloudy were filled with joy at that moment.
"Really? Yuan Niang, are you willing to take Miaomiao with you?"
"Really! That's right, brother Xie, please grant me the title. I am now the fifth-grade concubine. I have brought back the imperial edict. Should I give it to you later, or should we send it directly to the ancestral hall to offer sacrifices?"
Mrs. Wang was almost knocked unconscious by this surprise. She couldn't sit still anymore and stood up from the bed.
"Mrs. Gaoming? Is there still an imperial edict? Yuan Niang, have you become Mrs. Gaoming? Where is the edict? Come on, let's take it to the ancestral hall."
