Chapter 406 Threats,
Before Hanhan came in, the servants had already told Lord Li that the eldest master had sent the troublemaker away.
After Lord Li heard about this, he inexplicably felt that there seemed to be something fishy going on.
After Li Shiyun heard that the eldest son had come forward to chase the people away, her expression eased a little.
But she owed the eldest master a favor, and now she really didn't know how to face him.
When Lord Li saw the eldest son, he hurried forward and saluted, saying, "Your humble servant greets the eldest son."
Hanhan: "Master Li, I have already chased away the shrew outside the door for you."
Lord Li: "Thank you very much for your help, young master."
Hanhan: "What plans does Lord Li have for the marriage between Miss Li and Zuo Jizhong?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Li frowned even tighter: "After something like this happened, I naturally cannot marry Shiyun to him anymore."
Hanhan: "This woman is obviously determined not to give up until she achieves her goal."
"Under such circumstances, if Miss Li doesn't cancel the engagement, she won't have a peaceful life after she gets married."
Upon hearing this, Lord Li naturally couldn't help but nodded: "That's right."
Hanhan: "Since Miss Li doesn't have an engagement, can I propose marriage now?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Li said with an unnatural expression: "This... Isn't this too hasty? It seems as if the Li family has planned it all out."
“And those before…”
Hanhan: "If Lord Li doesn't agree, I will naturally be heartbroken. At that time, if I accidentally tell the truth after drinking, I will reveal what happened that day..."
Lord Li: "Master, this is absolutely unacceptable. We are grateful that you saved Shiyun, but you cannot harm her."
Hanhan: "So Lord Li will agree to the marriage proposal from the palace, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lord Li's face instantly turned ashen.
This little bastard was obviously threatening him, there was no way he couldn't have heard it.
But he also knew that if he didn't agree to him, he would definitely tell the matter to others.
By that time, his daughter would not be able to get married even if she didn't want to.
At the same time, without her good reputation, the Crown Prince's Consort will find herself walking on thin ice in the palace.
Lord Li said in an unnatural voice, "Marriage is always decided by parents and matchmakers. The eldest son has not informed the prince and princess yet, so this matter still needs to be reported to the prince and princess."
Hanhan: "Your Highness and Princess fully respect my opinion, and Lord Li, rest assured, the matchmaker will not reduce any of the betrothal gifts."
Lord Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let's do everything according to the eldest master's wishes!"
Hanhan: "Okay, I'll go back and prepare. If nothing goes wrong, the betrothal gifts will arrive at the Li Mansion tomorrow."
Lord Li: "The betrothal gifts are fine. I just hope that the eldest master can treat Shiyun well. She lost her mother when she was young. I don't ask her to be rich and powerful, but I just hope that she can be treated well by her husband's family."
Hanhan: "Don't worry, father-in-law. As long as Miss Li treats me honestly, I will naturally love her."
Lord Li: “I hope so.”
Hanhan: "Then I'll take my leave first."
Lord Li said with an unnatural expression: "Sir, take care!"
Hanhan curled the corners of his mouth, then turned and left.
When he left the hall, he happened to see Li Shiyun walking towards him.
He left without stopping to greet her.
He knew that this was being mean, which was why he didn't want to greet her. He was afraid to see any reluctance on her face.
When Li Shiyun entered the front hall, she saw her father sitting in a chair in a daze.
"Dad, what did the eldest son say?"
Lord Li glanced at Li Shiyun, then lowered his eyes with an unnatural expression.
Li Shiyun: "Dad, why don't you say anything?"
Lord Li: "Shiyun, Dad is going to cancel your marriage with Zuo Jizhong."
Li Shiyun: "Dad, I have the same idea."
Lord Li: "There is one more thing. The eldest son said that he will come to the Li Mansion tomorrow to present the betrothal gift."
Li Shiyun couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard this: "What? A betrothal gift?"
Lord Li: "The eldest son wants to marry you, and he also mentioned that you were with him at the birthday party that day."
When Li Shiyun heard this, her face instantly turned red.
Mr. Li: If Dad doesn’t agree, he will make this matter public. Dad has no choice but to agree.
Li Shiyun's face darkened when she heard this: "He is threatening Daddy."
Lord Li: "Yes, this eldest master is definitely not as simple as imagined. Maybe the person who caused the trouble was arranged by him."
Upon hearing this, Li Shiyun's expression instantly became even uglier.
"He has no respect for us at all."
Lord Li: "Shiyun, the eldest son is definitely an excellent man. He is indeed the dream husband of the capital."
"Besides, he really does like you, otherwise he wouldn't have waited for you for so many years."
Li Shiyun glanced at her father and said, "Dad is right. I really shouldn't be so hypocritical anymore."
"At my age, the eldest master still wants me. I should be grateful."
Lord Li: "Shiyun, don't worry, no matter when and where you are, as long as you are wronged, you can return to your mother's house, and your father will protect you without hesitation."
Li Shiyun's eyes instantly turned red when she heard this: "Thank you, Dad. I'll remember it all."
When Jiang Sujin and Shen Yanfeng heard Hanhan say that he was going to the Li Mansion to deliver the betrothal gifts, they were naturally shocked.
Jiang Sujin: "Isn't Miss Li engaged to one of your men?"
Hanhan: "Dad and Mom, don't ask anymore. Anyway, you should prepare quickly. Prepare more valuable things. After all, we are a royal palace and we need to show the nobility of the royal palace."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Shen Yanfeng and Jiang Sujin looked at each other and couldn't help but say, "Hey, this little bastard is ordering us around."
Jiang Sujin: "Stop talking nonsense. Come with me to pick out the betrothal gifts. We must show the nobility of the palace, so that Hanhan won't complain."
Shen Yanfeng wanted to refute something, but he opened his mouth and said nothing.
On the same day, Lord Li sent someone to deliver Zuo Jizhong's betrothal gift back.
The next day, Hanhan came to the Li Mansion with the matchmaker, Mr. Li's staff and friends, and the most expensive betrothal gift.
The matchmaker and others naturally praised the palace to the sky, and Lord Li could only agree with them with an unnatural look on his face.
Just like that, Hanhan and Li Shiyun were officially engaged.
Lord Li originally thought that if his family broke off the engagement and then accepted the eldest son's proposal, they would be ridiculed by the people.
However, what he didn't expect was that the common people not only did not scold him, but instead praised the relationship between the eldest master and Shiyun.
It is said that the eldest master has true feelings for Shiyun, and Shiyun also truly loves the eldest master, but she was delayed by Yu Shichang.
It is obvious that the eldest son is manipulating public opinion. It can be seen that all this is part of the eldest son's plan.
He didn't know whether the eldest master would be nice to his daughter, but it seemed that he really liked her.
However, his bad temper obviously would not become gentle and docile because of his daughter.
I hope he can be a henpecked husband like the prince.
