oo, unwilling to see his mother sad."The woman didn't know if she had heard, but finally fell asleep peacefully, and let go of Tao Hongying's hand.Tao Hongying quickly went to the kitchen to cook.This...Zhang Wu's wife couldn't help but scold: "To put it simply, if she disagrees with the marriage, she should just discipline her son at home. Why did she come to find the woman's family and even chase them away Who gave her the nerve! Do we have to listen to her just because she sheds a few tears At her age, she's not ashamed!"

Lady Li was also unhappy with how the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from the Wen family were behaving, but they were after all Mr. Wen's mother and sister-in-law. If she continued scolding them, it would be too harsh.

She stopped there and said, “Anyway, they won’t get any advantage today, and they won’t come again next time. It’s good that we didn't tear our faces apart with them. Let's just drive them away. Leave the rest to the men!”

"Let the second son go find Mr. Wen and tell him about this. Mr. Wen is so capable, he'll definitely be able to arrange things well for himself."

"Yes," Auntie Wu nodded first, "We women have already won against the other women. Whether we can drink wedding wine depends on the men!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Several old women came down from the ground. They originally wanted to tease Madam Cui a few words, but seeing her face flushed red, they just smiled and let her go.

Li Lao Er was originally on the mountainside. Hearing that guests had arrived at his home, and it seemed quite "lively," he hurried back, just in time to see the Wen family's carriage leave from afar.

He often lived with Mr. Wen and was quite familiar with the Wen family's carriages.

At this moment, Li Lao Er frowned and walked into the courtyard, passing by several old ladies.

Mrs. Feng, with her quick tongue, tugged at Old Li's sleeve and said, "Uncle, this old Wen family is too much! They just came to our house wailing, what a bad omen! You must go see Mr. Wen and come up with a solution!"

Li La Er heard it with a puzzled expression, and Li Lao Tai quickly said, "Go inside and drink some water first. I'll tell you later."

As she spoke, Li Laotai sent the older sisters away first.

When they met again, Li Lao Tai told her son all about it from beginning to end.

Li Laoer was also furious after hearing this, "This Wen old lady, last night she pretended to be sick and called Mr. Wen back home, today how did she suddenly recover and come here to bully people, this is really a joke!"

Having said that, he got up and continued, "I still need to go into town and speak with Mr. Tong, see if we can resolve this matter as soon as possible. It can't drag on any longer."

"Alright, then." Old Madam Li sighed softly. "Tell Mr. Wen for me that if he can marry Jiner, of course everyone would be happy. But if he can't go against his family, and knows he can't marry her, it's best to let go sooner rather than later."

"Otherwise, it would be easy for a man to remarry, but as a woman, she would face gossip and judgment throughout her life!"

Li Lao'er nodded, "Mother, rest assured, I will definitely bring the message."

Soon, he changed into his going-out clothes and got into the carriage.

Zheng Feng and Ye Tong sat on the carriage pole, following behind and waiting to be called upon. They were not afraid of being left idle.

The afternoon gentian is a rare moment of tranquility in the day.

Li Zhensheng and Jiahuan were talking, their small fleet of boats should be back in the next two days, they wanted to go to the pier to have a look...

Seeing Li Lao Er suddenly appear, Li Zhen Sheng was still surprised and asked, “Is there something wrong at home”

Li Lao'er shook his head and nodded, "There's something going on at home, but it's not our family's business."

Li Zhensheng listened in confusion and wanted to ask again, but Li Laoer waved his hand, "It's hard to explain in a short time. Just wait for Wen先生 and the others to arrive before we talk."

Li Zhen wasn't short on patience. He got up and went back and forth between the front hall and the kitchen, and in no time he had Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng and others come over.

These two people also thought that something had happened to the Li family, and they opened their mouths to ask if they needed help.

This made Li Lao Er's mood quite complex, especially towards Mr. Wen, feeling both sympathy and heartache.

Li Lao'er went straight to the point: "Mr. Wen, you probably don't know, right These days, your mother and sister-in-law have been going to the manor to find Mrs. Cui every day..."

Your mother wouldn't say she disagrees with your marriage, but she shed tears in front of Mrs. Choi, saying how difficult things are for her, and pressured Mrs. Choi to give up on your relationship.

Mrs. Cui couldn't stand it anymore and hid back in the village yesterday, but this morning your mother and sister-in-law found us again and continued to cry and pressure us.

"My mother couldn't bear it anymore, so she went out to protect Mrs. Cui and brought several old women from the village with her. She drove your mother and sister-in-law away..."

Mr. Wen's face began to drain of color from the moment he heard the first syllable, eventually turning as white as a sheet. Veins on his neck bulged and stood out prominently.

After a long silence, he finally managed to utter a sentence: "She said she was sick and wanted to see me more. She said that in the past, she hadn't been good and had only immersed herself in pleasure and romance, without paying much attention to me, her son. She said she would love me more in the future, she said…"

When I went to court, I was still thinking about buying her jewelry on the way back. I was so happy that she finally remembered I was her son! But it turns out, she was just trying to stabilize me and then turned around and made things difficult for my junior sister behind my back...

Everyone knew who "she" was in his mouth, so they listened with increasing heartache.

A child's dependence and closeness to their mother is innate and does not change with age.

Especially for children who have been neglected for a long time, suddenly being loved is not just happiness, but immense gratitude!

But in the end, it was discovered that the mother's love was an illusion, her true purpose was still to control him and hurt him!

This kind of disappointment and pain, it could drive a person insane...

Mr. Wen didn't speak again, but tears streamed down his face.

Liu Zhizhen was originally very angry because his adopted sister had been wronged, and he even wanted to scold her a few times.

Seeing this, he sighed.

He'd known Mr. Wen since childhood and knew all too well how unfortunate he was.

Mr. Wen, being the second son in his family, was not favored from childhood. During his youth, he relied on his talent and hard work to find Mr. Cui, a renowned scholar, as his teacher, and he fell in love with his teacher's younger sister.

The result is that the younger sister shouldn't get married. After the master passed away, he started to waste his time.

Finally, with the capital relocation as an opportunity, I risked my life to go back and save my younger sister. Slowly, I won her heart.

When his junior sister also left, they were supposed to be together as lovers destined for each other. However, his family pressured him to marry someone else, paving the way for his elder brother's political career, obstructing him from marrying his junior sister in every possible way...

Life is full of hardships, and he seems to have experienced all of them.

Li Zhensheng patted Mr. Wen's shoulder, giving him silent comfort.

Li Lao Er was also the same, Liu Zhi Heng hesitated for a moment, but eventually joined in.

Perhaps feeling the strength coming from behind him, and the support of his three good friends, Mr. Wen slowly stopped crying. He pulled up his sleeve and wiped away the tears, then said in a low voice, "Thank you!"

Li Zhensheng sat down three times, and Li Lao Er thought for a moment before saying, "Sir, my mother asked me to bring you a message."

She said if you want to marry Mrs. Cui, you have to figure it out. If you don't want to, or your family can't handle it properly, let go sooner rather than later. Otherwise, it would be detrimental to Mrs. Cui, after all, a woman's reputation is important.

Mr. Wen nodded solemnly and replied, “My aunt is right. I was being greedy before, thinking I could have both fish and bear's paw. Now I realize how foolish I was!”ant new shirts, women want dresses and jewelry. Stationery like paper, ink, brushes, and inkstones sell well too. Snack shops are booming, and teahouses and wine shops are crowded with people...Li's...
