"Is everything said?" Old Madam Luo glanced at her son and daughters-in-law.
The frustration in her heart had nowhere to be vented, and not one of them was smart.
"Whatâs wrong with your Li Family? Whatâs wrong with your Li Family?" Old Madam Luo gave her a sidelong glance. "Isnât what he said a fact? Isnât your Li Family of low status? If it werenât for the old manâs arrangement back then, do you think you could have married into the Luo Family? Do you think that over the years at the Luo Family, your Li Family has become noble?"
Ms. Li of Luo Family was frustrated to death. Since her family was so bad, why would they still shove people towards her family?
"Idiot!" Seeing her reaction, Old Madam Luo knew she hadnât understood her point and scolded her, "I let that girl Linyu marry into your Li Family so your family can keep an eye on her. Sheâs the Thirdâs only daughter. The Third holds a high position in the court, and that boy Linhao is also promising. Heâs destined to succeed his father. He only has one sister. As long as you hold onto Linyu, wonât he be forced to help you in the future? If they dare not to help you, you can torment Linyu as you wish. They canât bear to see Linyu suffer. If they donât want her to suffer, they will have to help."
"Furthermore, if Linfei can really enter the palace in the future, they will definitely need support. Who else could that be other than the Third?" Old Madam Luo analyzed for them, "Hold onto Linyu, and they will have no choice but to support you."
"Mother, instead of going through so much trouble, why not just get rid of that little bastard Linhao and send your eldest grandson to the military camp?" Eldest Luo said.
Old Madam Luo looked at him with disappointment and silently cursed, "Youâre talking nonsense. Thatâs exactly what we thought back then, but what happened? That little bastard is still alive and well. We couldnât get rid of him before, do you think we can now? Itâs too late."
After a pause, Old Madam Luo said, "Alright, itâs getting late. Everyone should leave now. That girl Linyu is currently staying at Prince Anâs Mansion. Tomorrow, the Eldestâs wife and I will go together to bring that girl back. The day after tomorrow, you should return to your family and settle this matter with your sister-in-law. If it werenât for bumping into Princess Consort Le today, I wouldnât have known that unfilial girl had returned to the Capital City. I would have thought she was still in the countryside. Itâs ungrateful not to return home after coming back to the Capital City."
In fact, Old Madam Luo found out about this because Princess Consort Le was instructed by Prince Le, feeling that the likes of Old Mu and others were too idle, often keeping an eye on him, so it was better to give them something to do.
"Yes, Mother, I understand," said the daughters-in-law.
With that, the group dispersed.
At Prince Anâs Mansion, the family was just about to eat when Luo Linhao stormed in angrily.
"Why are you back again? Whatâs wrong? Why do you look so upset?" Ye Ziâan asked.
"Iâm furious," he replied.
"What happened?" Yang Chuxia saw that his face was flushed with anger, and there was a faint hint of killing intent in his eyes, making her a bit alarmed.
"That damned old woman, that damned old woman." Luo Linhao glanced to make sure Luo Linyu hadnât arrived yet and said, "She found out Linyu returned to the Capital City and wants to marry her off to that useless nephew of the first branchâs wifeâs family."
"Anyway, neither you nor Uncle will agree to it, so whatever she wants, it wonât happen."
Yang Chuxia comforted him and added, "But you and Uncle do need to take Linyuâs marriage seriously. As long as it remains unsettled, theyâll keep thinking about it."
