Chapter 106: The false heiress's younger sister wants to get a concubine for the scumbag brother?

However, the two sisters are still rather unfamiliar with each other these days. I also cannot force Luoluo to do things...

Qu Shi was attending to Li Chao Jing, taking off his shoes and washing his feet, when she saw his brows furrow again. Although Qu Shi felt uneasy in her heart, she still steeled herself and asked: "Husband, do you have any objections regarding Zhu'er?"

Since Zhu'er returned, you haven't even seen her. This girl has been heartbroken for days... Even if you now value Luoluo, you shouldn't neglect Zhu'er!

Li Chao Jing instantly lost interest.

He rose with wet feet, preparing to leave, but in the end he still threw a sentence at Qu Shi: "Before I thoroughly investigate whether Zhu'er truly has nothing to do with Chuan'er's broken leg, I will not see her!"

Having said that, Li Chao Jing flicked his sleeve.

He had originally planned to go to Lou Shi's quarters.

But thinking that she too was old, he let out a sigh and went to the study instead.

Hongfenguan.

Li Qingluo was still reading when Deng Mama entered and said: "Miss, the master has gone to sleep in the study again."

Li Qingluo didn't even look up: "Did you find the person I asked you to look for?"

Deng Mama's expression was strange: "You really want to place someone in Father's quarters? He... he is your own father! In this world, what reason is there for a daughter to stuff people into her father's room?"

Li Qingluo turned a page and said: "You've also seen my father. Since my brother's leg was broken, his hair has turned half-white overnight, and I fear he is constantly anguished. Yet he despises Lou Shi for being old; what does it matter that I, as his daughter, share his worries?"

Moreover, Li Kechuan believes that even with a broken leg he is still the heir of the Jiangjun Fu. Since he is so arrogant, why not let my father father a few more sons?

Anyway, the Jiangjun Fu will not be mine in the future.

Deng Mama actually felt that her words made some sense.

It seems even the lady cannot be relied upon, and the eldest son offers even less hope.

In their natal home, aside from the Old Lady, the young ladies truly have no support at all.

Once the Old Lady passes away, will the young lady not even have any support from her natal family?

Just like their Old Lady, all alone...

Besides, the master is still a healthy middle-aged man; fathering more sons is hardly surprising.

Hey! That old servant here actually already has several candidates.

Among them is a fine one who used to be the unmarried daughter of an elderly scholar in Jinling City. It is said she had a fiancé, but a sudden serious illness took him away, and then her parents died one after another, so she has remained in mourning, becoming an old maid, now about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old!

Li Qingluo then set the book down, a spark of interest arising: "What does she look like? My father's tastes are still rather picky."

Lou Shi obviously still has charm, yet he now looks down on her.

Deng Mama: "Her appearance is naturally good. Moreover, she is tall and full-figured, with eyes that are bright and watery!"

Li Qingluo: "If there's a chance, let me meet her."

The next day, Li Qingluo's injuries had much improved, so she went to Jingci Tang to pay respects to Pei Lao Furen.

Pei Lao Furen kept her for a meal, and after the meal gave her a box.

Grandmother, what is this?

Pei Lao Furen: "Take a look."

Li Qingluo was not polite; she immediately opened it and found inside a deed to a shopfront.

Grandmother! This is...?

Pei Lao Furen smiled: "It's from grandmother; just take it."

Grandmother actually intends to give her a shop?

Li Qingluo only felt the box in her hand instantly become heavy.

Such a precious thing, she does not know how to accept it with a clear conscience.

Pei Lao Furen seemed to understand her thoughts: "Luoluo, do you still remember the teahouse where you were kidnapped?"

Grandmother is actually worried; the teahouse's business has been deteriorating, and after the Lotus Sect's disturbance, it suffered a major blow, likely making it hard to revive.

If you take it and manage to revive it, wouldn't that be a good thing? It would also relieve grandmother of a worry. More importantly, aren't you short of money?

Li Qingluo's face flushed: "Grandmother, Luoluo seems to be taking advantage of you."

Pei Lao Furen reached out, gesturing for Li Qingluo to come to her side.

After Li Qingluo sat beside her, Pei Lao Furen earnestly revealed a bit: "Over these years, grandmother has also accumulated some private property. Do you intend for me to give it all to your father after I pass, or to your elder brother?"

Grandmother also wants to see your ability; if you are capable, then she could give it to you in the future, how about that?

Grandmother does not care whether it's a woman or a man, only whether one has that capability!

But if Luoluo, you lack the talent for business, then don't blame grandmother for not leaving you anything in the future.

Although Li Qingluo does not know how much private property grandmother has, the fact that she casually gave her a sizable shopfront shows that grandmother's private wealth is certainly not small.

Li Qingluo also understood what grandmother meant today.

It is simply to see whether Li Qingluo can take it on.

If she cannot take it on, then regardless of how grandmother disposes of this private property later, it will have nothing to do with her.

But if she can take it on, how could this not be an opportunity to prove herself?

Li Qingluo also does not want to disappoint grandmother.

Li Qingluo no longer declined, gripping the box and replying: "Yes, grandmother! Please give Luoluo some time; Luoluo will certainly do her utmost to handle this well."

After Li Qingluo left, Zhang Mama asked Pei Lao Furen: "Are you really planning to train the miss as the heir of the Heavenly Wind Merchant House?"

Pei Lao Furen: "If not her, would I really give it to those fools? Luoluo has talent; whether in business or martial arts, she carries my bloodline, she will not let me down."

By the way, when is Old Concubine Deng returning? What, you ask her to come back to serve me, yet she drags her feet and refuses?

The principal wife suppressing the concubine is an absolute dominance of status; Old Concubine Deng, in her lifetime before the Old Lady, has been nothing but a servant.

Therefore, with a single order from Pei Lao Furen, even if Old Concubine Deng were to become an esteemed elder lady, she must hurry back to serve!

Zhang Mama: "They say they still need to wait two days before entering the city. I sent people to watch secretly; they say there's quite a commotion at the manor, secretly handling something."

Pei Lao Furen snorted coldly: "Do you really think I don't know about the private property you've embezzled over the years? Sneaking around dealing with it is truly petty, not fit for the table."

Whatever it is, write it down for me! Later I'll still make her spit it all out!

Grandma Zhang kept agreeing.

Madam, the master over there still doesn't know—you really ought to let him know!

Madame Pei: "I brought that old servant back to serve me and told him what to do—he was unwilling back then, and now he doesn't want to see me, so he doesn't see me? Let him suffer!"
