Free Web NovelChapter 2650: Chapter 134: Ms.Wang Tests Leru’s Character
Originally, we thought that was the end of it, but who knew that the next day the old lady dragged her around town again, which made Li Luru break into a sweat on her behalf.
Li Luru isn’t afraid of accompanying her, but she is worried that she can’t handle it physically.
Ye Haoxuan also secretly told Ms. Wang, enough is enough.
But Ms. Wang said, "When marrying a woman, one must look at her character. None of you brothers need to find a woman with a good family background, just find someone who is content and well-behaved. From my lifetime of experience, you should marry a girl who is patient, kindhearted, broad-minded, accommodating yet not weak. Only then can the family thrive. Look at your eldest and youngest aunts, the two sisters-in-law have never argued over the years, and the whole family is harmonious and beautiful."
"But thinking back to the old days, when I was a daughter-in-law, your eldest grandaunt, your fourth grandaunt, and there was even a second grandaunt—every one of them was keen on being superior, the whole family was in chaos every day."
"Seeing as you are the eldest in your family, traditionally, the eldest son inherits the family business. However, due to circumstances from your childhood, your parents are certainly pursuing equality among their children. There is no bias, but if you marry a strong-headed girl who likes to fight for superiority, there will surely be quarrels over the family estate in the future."
"This girl, Luru, although she saved you and I am grateful for that, I still need to see her more. If she is truly good, I’ll invite your cousin grandaunt to propose over, but if not, we can compensate her in other ways, with money or by finding her another match."
"Yes, Grandaunt, you’re right," Ye Haoxuan said with a smile, "then Grandaunt, what do you think of her?"
"She seems fine for now." After a pause, she continued, "I’ll have another look tomorrow. Don’t think I’m meddlesome; since your mother isn’t here, I have to help you make sure of things to prevent her from blaming me in the future."
"Haha, my mother wouldn’t dare!"
In the morning, Li Luru was dragged out from under the blankets by Xiaohong.
She was exceptionally tired, that old lady had such good legs, even she, as a young person, felt inferior.
"My dear miss, please hurry," Xiaohong urged, "think of the prince, so handsome and charming. If you don’t hurry up, what if some thoughtless girl takes a fancy to him? You need to secure a spot, right?"
"If it were the second young lady, she’d probably be eager to have a chance to be with the prince. If she knew the prince’s grandaunt was here, she’d want to stick by her side all day long."
Li Luru waved her hand, grabbed a paper, and said, "Don’t compare her with me, she doesn’t even know what he looks like or what kind of person he is, yet she wants to be a Princess Consort. She just fancies his family status."
Who knows where Li Mengru has been sent by her mother, they hadn’t told her. If she knew Ye Haoxuan was here, she would surely butt in.
"And what about you, Miss?" Xiaohong giggled and asked, "Are you interested in him?"
She glared at her and tapped her forehead, conveying her meaning without words.
When Li Luru arrived at the inn, Ms. Wang and Ye Haoxuan were having breakfast.
"Miss Le is here, come, I’ve ordered some fish porridge for you."
After she sat down, Ms. Wang asked again, "Where are we going today? Is there anywhere fun left in Wangshui Town?"
She paused and then mused, "I’ve lived in Wangquan Town for decades, so close to here, and yet I’ve never come to enjoy myself."
"Grandaunt, doesn’t your leg hurt?"
"Not at all!" Ms. Wang replied, "I got used to walking around at your eldest uncle’s place, your eldest aunt’s legs aren’t as good as mine."
