At this moment, Brother Pig ran into the courtyard from outside and shouted, “Mother, Mother, Uncle Zhou told you to hurry up. There are people coming to congratulate Cousin.”

Li Mei and Liu Changmin could not care less about the crying Laidi and hurriedly went out to welcome the guests. It turned out that Zhu Zhencheng, a few country squires, and the shopkeepers of some shops had come to congratulate them.

Laidi stood there in a daze for a while. She was still afraid that Liu Changmin would really chase her out of the Liu family. She returned to the room unhappily and lay on the bed.

Li Mei was worried that Laidi would go to Li Fengqi’s house to help without care. She hurriedly asked Brother Pig to go back and watch Laidi. Brother Pig returned from Li Qing’s house and looked at the sulking Laidi on the bed. He looked at her like he was an elder. “Second Sister, I didn’t understand what Sir meant by extroverted girls. Now I understand. It means women like you.”

“Brat, even you are bullying me.” Laidi was so angry that she grabbed a pillow and threw it at him.

After Li Qing and Li Fengqi returned from Tongzhou, they returned home separately. When Li Fengqi reached home, he realized that his arrogant aunt, Madam Ye, had actually brought her cousins and a woman over. When she saw him, she kept flattering him.

“Aunt, I knew it. My Fengqi is capable, but he needs tempering. Look how he is now.”

Madam Ye looked at Li Fengqi and chuckled. “If I had known earlier, I would have persuaded your uncle to let you come out and sharpen yourself sooner. You might have been ranked on the Golden Ranking List long ago.”

Li Fengqi took a look. Madam Ye’s thin lips flew up and down as he thought to himself that she seemed to believe her own words!

Old Madam Li listened to her eldest daughter-in-law’s words and couldn’t hear her grandson’s reply. Afraid that her grandson would lose his reputation if the two of them quarreled, she shouted from the house, “Fengqi, come in quickly. Grandmother has something to tell you.”

Li Fengqi cupped his hands at Madam Ye, his two cousins, and walked into the room.

Madam Ye whispered to her beautiful niece, who was standing at the side,

“Look, who knew that in the blink of an eye, he would become a hot High Scholar? If you marry him, you’ll be the wife of an official. Don’t be embarrassed.”

Miss Ye nodded shyly. “Father and Mother said that Aunt can make the decision ”

Li Fengqi entered the room and saw the old lady sitting on the bed. She touched the bed with a smile.

When Old Madam Li heard her grandson enter the room, she chuckled. “Feng

Qi, our Li family finally has a successful descendant. Even if I die immediately,

I will be able to face my ancestors and your grandfather and parents.”

Li Fengqi looked at this old lady who never left his side. His eyes were a little sore. “Grandmother, the good days are coming. How can you say such things to hurt my heart?”

Old Madam Li smiled from ear to ear and waved at Li Fengqi. “Look, these things were sent by someone else. Your aunt is jealous! Don’t let her take advantage of you.”

“Granny, how can you say such a thing? I didn’t do anything to let Fengqi down.” Madam Ye’s voice sounded at the door.

Li Fengqi glanced at the shy woman standing behind Madam Ye and muttered to himself, “Isn’t this Madam Ye’s niece? Why is she at my house?”

Old Madam Li pursed her lips and said, “If you’re a good person, why are we living here?”

Madam Ye pretended not to hear Old Madam Li’s words. Her eyes lit up as she stared at the room full of gift boxes for a while. She walked up to Li Fengqi with a smile and looked at him as if he was a moving piece of gold. “Fengqi! In the past, I told you that I would betroth Feng’er to you. Look, it’s really fate in my previous life that both your names have the word Feng.”

Li Fengqi glanced at Madam Ye’s niece. “I’m already engaged.”

Madam Ye looked as if she had been struck by lightning. “Ah! When did you set up the engagement? Why didn’t I know? Didn’t you tell me?” Madam Ye turned to look at Old Madam Li. “Grandma, why haven’t I heard you mention it these two days?”

“Aunt.” Miss Ye ran out with a red face.

The corners of Old Madam Li’s mouth curled up. “You didn’t ask me. Why should I tell you?”

“You.” Madam Ye glared at Old Madam Li unhappily and chased after her.

Old Madam Li held Li Fengqi’s hand proudly. “Fengqi! It seems that the girl from the Liu family brings good luck to her husband. If she can be the first wife, don’t take her too seriously. You have to keep her hanging. Otherwise, she’ll climb onto your head after passing the door! I’ve seen that girl from the Ye family when I wasn’t blind. She’s good-looking. She can still be your concubine.”

“Of course, she brings luck to her husband. Without her, would that kid Li Qing help me? Where would I see those solutions?” Li Fengqi thought to himself. He looked at the old lady and smiled proudly. “Grandmother, just wait to enjoy life!”

“Aye!” Old Madam Li agreed crisply. The grandfather and granddaughter’s faces were filled with smiles.

Li Qing’s family returned home to pay respects to their ancestors and parents. Li Mei looked at the memorial tablet in the house and cried. “Ah Qing, remember to inform me as soon as possible when you have passed the next examination. I’ll bring you to move the graves of your grandmother, grandfather, and your parents to Phoenix Village. In the future, Phoenix Village will be the root of our Li family.”

“Yes, Aunt.” Li Qing helped Li Mei out of the small ancestral hall and asked her curiously, “Aunt, where did our Li family originally live?”

Li Mei looked up at the mountain outside and smiled bitterly. “There’s a small county city called Tang County under the Qingzhou Prefecture. At that time, we lived in a small village. It took two days to go to the county city. It took a month and a half to walk to the Qingzhou Prefecture. That year, the villagers came out to flee together. Before they could flee to Qingzhou, they were separated.”

Li Qing looked at Li Mei. “Aunt, when my next examination is over, we’ll move the graves of Grandfather, Grandmother, and Father.”

Li Mei looked at Li Qing in relief. “Also, I wonder what Yu’er and your brother-in-law plan to do with your marriage?” Li Mei wanted to ask Laidi

again. “Sigh! Also, that Li guy. Even your uncle, that honest person, can tell that he doesn’t take Laidi seriously, but that wretched girl is focused on that person. Write to Yu’er and Master and tell them that they don’t have to care about Laidi’s feelings in the future. I don’t want to care about Laidi anymore. She will have to reap what she sowed. She won’t wake up unless she suffers.”

Li Qing was also worried about Laidi. “Aunt, Li Fengqi is very utilitarian. Right now, he’s not tactful enough or good at hiding his thoughts. We can still sense it, but I’m afraid that he’ll be arrogant in the future. Cousin Laidi will suffer if she’s too sentimental, but she won’t listen to our reminders and advice now..”
