e end of the day, wealth moves people's hearts. This place is too eye-catching; anyone would want to grab it." 。Young Master Ye coldly snorted, “If you want to reach out, be prepared to have your hand..."Mr. Peng, you are too kind. Our son is also a bit headstrong. We'll have to ask Mr. Peng for more guidance in the future." Mrs. Li also replied politely and then asked, "When would Mr. Peng be free Our family will come to propose marriage"

Mr. Peng pondered for a moment and said, "How about we set it for the day after eight days when the academy is closed"

"Good, our family will come to propose marriage on time then." Li Lao Tai felt a huge sense of relief.

This matter is now considered resolved, and after a few polite exchanges, Lao Li took her son and granddaughter to bid farewell.

Mr. Peng escorted the Li family all the way to the gate before turning back to instruct his steward, "These few days, you must keep a close eye on the backyard and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"Yes, sir, please rest assured, this old servant will ensure that the young miss's engagement goes smoothly." Peng Guanjia quickly agreed, and couldn't help but add, "The old lady from the Li family seems very kind. With the young miss marrying into their family, life will definitely be good."

Mr. Peng sighed, “This old woman has brought with her a dozen or so people, all the way from the northern border to the south of the Yangtze River. Her whole family, young and old, remained unharmed. Now that she still enjoys such good days, how could she possibly have a gentle and soft temperament”

"But the Li family has a good reputation and is very well-organized. As long as Wenjuan stays true to herself and fulfills her duties, she'll have a good life there. To be honest, it's my fault as a father for being deaf and blind these past few years. I haven't been a good father to her."

"Sir, you shouldn't say that. As an educator, you should focus on teaching your students and improving your writing. You shouldn't be so preoccupied with what happens in the backyard...Miss is also quite stubborn. If she were willing to talk to you more, things wouldn't have come to this." The head steward quickly tried to smooth things over for his master, offering excuses.

As expected, Mr. Peng's face had improved considerably. "Well then, let's give her a proper send-off. After that, it's up to her."

Without mentioning what the Peng family was like, just saying that the Li family walked in the academy dressed so grandly, naturally many people noticed them.

Within the courtyard, it was fine; no one proactively inquired about her. But once she stepped out onto the corridor and entered the eatery, the neighboring residents couldn't help but chat with Zhao Yuru.

"Li's wife, what are your mother-in-law and the others doing at the academy They're dressed so elegantly, especially your young niece. I almost didn't recognize her."

Zhao Yuru hurried to the backyard, wanting to know the result. Upon hearing this, she smiled and replied, "Our two children are studying at the academy. The masters take very good care of them. My mother-in-law has come, so of course we have to visit and thank the masters."

Having said that, she hurried to the backyard and no longer had time for her neighbors.

Jia Huan was already sitting on the small stool beside his grandmother, waiting eagerly.

When the imperial decree arrived at their home, they were all absent and naturally unaware of this major event.

He was originally worried that, because his family wasn't well-connected, the Peng family would look down on him and refuse the marriage proposal.

But his sister suddenly became a county princess, making him the county princess's older brother. Now that things had taken a turn, he could only wait anxiously...

Grandma Li intentionally wanted to tease her grandson, sipping water slowly and savoring it to moisten her throat.

That which was once a symphony of chirps and chatter, now only smiles with a mischievous glint in its eye, not uttering a single word.

Zhao Yuru came back from the front and saw her son, as restless as an ant on a hot pan. She couldn't help but chuckle, "Mother, please tell me, just now Huan'er almost stepped through the courtyard's stone slabs!"

The house was filled with laughter and joy, everyone couldn't help but smile.

Li Laotai patted her grandson's broad shoulders and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Peng has agreed. In eight days, when the academy is on holiday, we'll go to propose marriage."

Jia Yin was also clapping her hands and cheering, "Brother is going to marry a wife!"

Home was overwhelmed with excitement and joy, wanting to say something but suddenly tears welled up in her eyes.

He hugged the old woman's legs and knelt down, sobbing, "Grandma, your grandson is unfilial. I have caused trouble for the family and even made you beg the Peng family for mercy..."

"Silly boy!" The old woman rubbed her grandson's hair and sighed softly, "What's so troublesome about a family talking Grandma arranging your marriage is what she should do, isn't it"

Just remember, this daughter-in-law is someone you worked so hard to get. Cherish her in the future! After she moves in, if you find anything unsuitable, don't regret it.

"No, Grandma. I will be filial to you and our parents with Wenjuan." Jiā Huān buried his head on Grandma's shoulder, saying in a muffled voice.

"Oh, Miss Peng's given name is Wenjuan I didn't even ask just now. Such a beautiful name! It sounds like the daughter of a scholarly family." The old woman praised.

This prompted Zhao Yuru to quickly follow up, "Mother, what does the young lady look like Is she kind and gentle"

Home happily finally knew how to be shy, quickly wiped her face and said, "Grandma, you guys talk slowly, I'll go make lunch."

Having said that, he ran away, causing Old Lady Li to laugh again, "This child is still embarrassed to have heard it!"

Li Laosan and Li Laosi also got up to busy themselves, one chopping firewood and the other scrubbing pots, leaving the womenfolk to gossip.

Old Li was also curious about what her granddaughter had said to the little maidservant outside. She asked, "Didn't Fu Niao say she liked Miss Peng Tell me, what is good about Miss Peng"

Jia Yin blinked her big eyes and stretched out her little hand, counting on her fingers as she spoke.

First, Sister Peng is tall, so the nephew she has with her brother will definitely be tall too. Second, Sister Peng is good at sewing and embroidery, and she likes to read. In the future, she can teach her nephew how to write and make clothes for him.

The third sister Peng is a good cook. Xiaoyue said that Sister Peng cooks delicious food. The fourth sister Peng is so kind. Xiaoyue is a maidservant, and she protects her from being bullied. Fifth, Sister Peng is filial. Her stepmother treated her badly, but she was afraid of angering her father, so she didn't complain!

When Jia Yin had used up all five fingers, she thought for a moment and added, "Sister Peng is also pretty!"

Li Laotai chuckled, leaned down and kissed her granddaughter, praising, “Our Funiu is so smart, she actually saw so many good things about Miss Peng!”

Zhao Yu-ru heard the urgency in her mother's voice and pressed, "Mother, is this girl truly good"

Old Lady Li nodded, “You can rest assured, this girl has never had a mother since she was young, she's suffered a lot. I see that she is hardworking, and if your son marries her, at least he will have someone taking care of his food, clothing, and shelter in the future.”

"Besides, this child has a strong will and is headstrong, which perfectly complements Jia Huan's gentle nature. Together, they can make smart decisions and manage their household effectively."

Li Laotai pondered for a moment, and then said, "This girl has been mistreated. Her food and lodging aren't good, and she looks rather thin with a poor complexion. In the future, we must make sure to nourish her well!"

"Oh, that's just common sense!" Zhao Yuru breathed a sigh of relief. "Our family runs a food stall, how could we possibly run out of food"

Li Laotai nodded, "After dinner, we'll head back. You and Lao San don't have to worry about anything, just live your lives as you see fit. There's no need to keep Fu Nier's identity as a county princess a secret. Let people know that our Li family is not lacking, so when we get engaged to the Peng family, there won't be too much gossip."

"Understood, Mother!" Zhao Yuru hugged her little niece, nuzzling her chubby cheek, and smiled. "Thanks to our good fortune, Fu'er became a county princess. Otherwise, your older brother would find it really difficult to marry a lady from a scholarly family."e the only one she spoils. 。If your tuition fees are too much for your family to afford, they would definitely tell you and everyone else to work together to find a solution. 。"So, don't overthink it...
