Free Web NovelChapter 2644: Chapter 128: Returning to Dreams as Home
"To know in advance that one’s parents are to die, yet still be able to act as if nothing is amiss, and later proceed as a normal person, is indeed beyond ordinary capability." Second Young Master Li shook his head as he spoke, "Third Brother is right, Mother should plan early, who knows what trouble she might cause again."
As soon as he finished speaking, Eldest Young Madam Li pulled him aside, hinting at him not to speak further.
"I have my reasons for this matter, you all should not concern yourselves." Yang Aoshuang said, "The main reason for calling you here is because of Third’s situation. In principle, Third should observe the mourning for three years without any issue, but the lady’s family might be unwilling. I was thinking that maybe Eldest’s wife should go and feel out the lady’s family’s stance, and see if the matter can be settled within a hundred days."
"Alright, leave this matter to me."
Yang Aoshuang nodded in satisfaction, and as her gaze passed over Li Luru, she let out an almost inaudible sigh. Prince An probably hasn’t heard the news yet; once he learns they must wait for three years, he might not be willing. Even if he is willing, it likely won’t be as the legal wife.
"Miss, when will the prince come to Funan?" Xiaohong asked after leaving the main courtyard. The lady just mentioned that Third Young Master’s marriage is being held earlier, but what about the Miss’s? "If the prince could come to Funan soon, the Miss could marry within a hundred days and avoid the risk of complications from delay."
"..." Li Luru shook her head, thinking to herself how could it be that simple.
But considering the time, he should be arriving soon.
Xiaohong was concerned about Li Luru’s marriage, and Yang Aoshuang was equally concerned.
"Madam, are you worried about Third Miss’s matter?" Nanny Yang asked, upon returning to find Yang Aoshuang deep in thought with her head propped on her hand after sending off Eldest Young Madam Li and others.
"Indeed." Yang Aoshuang replied, "Since she returned recently, people from Prince An’s side only came once. There’s no definitive conclusion on this marriage matter. Now, with this incident, I’m afraid the marriage won’t happen."
Nanny Yang suggested, "It’s not necessarily impossible, have you forgotten Third Miss’s background? After all, she isn’t part of the Li Family, so there’s no need for her to observe Li Family’s mourning. The Old Master was always thinking about the future of the Li Family, and now you’re doing this for the Li Family’s future, he wouldn’t blame you. You also need not worry that the Miss will distance herself upon knowing the truth; after all, a child raised since childhood, we can discern their temperament somewhat."
"Moreover, if we fulfill her today, she will undoubtedly be grateful to us in the future."
Yang Aoshuang was suddenly enlightened, "You’re right, children who are caring are just as caring whether or not they’re one’s own, while those who aren’t caring, like that one, even though the Old Master was her biological father, she watched him die nonetheless."
"Isn’t that exactly the case?"
"However, that young lass, I won’t let her off easily." A hint of malice flashed in Yang Aoshuang’s eyes, "Come here, let me tell you..."
Nanny Yang nodded repeatedly while listening.
At night, two people barged into Li Mengru’s courtyard and before she could react, they shoved a sack over her.
A carriage was already prepared outside the residence, and once she was thrown in, it sped away from the Li Residence.
Two days later, a handsome young nun appeared in the monastery, and that person was none other than Li Mengru!
Yang Aoshuang’s initial intention was to send her to slave traders, but Nanny Yang persuaded her instead to send her to the monastery. In the future, if anyone asks, they can say she voluntarily went to pray for the Li Family, which sounds nicer in terms of reputation, and thus she agreed.
"Master, should we go home first, or visit Miss Li first?"
