The lady escaped marriage and became addicted

Chapter 263 Women are not concubines, men are not concubines (3)
Mrs. Li took the words and said with a light smile: "No, I just like the generous and straightforward temperament of the younger sister of the Zhao family. By the way, in the middle of the afternoon, what did the younger sister do just now, Mrs. Zhao and the youngest mistress refused to tell us Woolen cloth!"

It turned out that Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Li had been here for a while, but they saw that there were not many servants in the family, and even the tea was served by Gu Tingfang herself.After Madam Wen asked, she realized that it was An Ran who called the servants over, saying that they were dealing with an important matter, but Gu Wanniang and Gu Tingfang refused to say what it was.

Now that Mrs. Li asked the question so calmly, it would be bad for An Ran not to answer.

An Ran smiled lightly and said: "It's embarrassing to say it, it's because I'm young and inexperienced, and I'm soft-hearted. I don't discipline my servants strictly on weekdays, causing the girls around my sister-in-law to be disrespectful to the master. Mother and sister-in-law are soft-hearted, so I have to say Let me be the villain."

When Mrs. Wen heard this, she knew that they had asked something that shouldn't be asked, so she immediately changed the subject and said, "I heard that Brother Qi has entered Prince Ping's mansion, and is now a celebrity in front of His Highness Prince Ping. I would like to congratulate Mrs. Zhao, Brother Qi has fallen into the eyes of His Royal Highness Prince Ping, and he will surely become famous in the future."

Gu Wanniang's face was full of joy, but she still said modestly: "Where, where, Brother Qi is just a master of the ninth rank, what is it in front of Madam? Brother Rui from Madam's family is already a general at a young age. That's what makes the future limitless! In the future, I will definitely be named a Marquis and Prime Minister!"

Mrs. Wen loves to hear these words, but she didn't come here to listen to others bragging about her son, so she abruptly changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Brother Qi for a few months. That child is really getting better and better." You can do it. Mrs. Zhao will wait to enjoy the blessings in the future! Hehe... I don’t know how Brother Qi was appreciated by His Royal Highness Ping Wang? I heard that His Highness Ping Wang has only sealed three master books so far!"

An Ran knew the reason for Mrs. Wen's visit as soon as she heard it, and it was exactly as Sister Wang said, she came to inquire about the news.

An Ran was worried that her mother would say something wrong, so she hurriedly replied before her mother: "It was introduced by the seventh young master of the Wang family that my brother met in the Imperial College. His Royal Highness Ping Wang said that my brother's handwriting is not bad, so I just ask you to help me copy the documents. My brother also Young, how can there be any ability that His Royal Highness Prince Ping values."

As soon as Wen Shi heard what An Ran said, she knew that she might not be able to ask anything, so she winked at Li Shi.Immediately, Mrs. Li got up and pulled An Ran and said: "Last time I saw that the words in your room were pretty good, sister, don't you mind taking sister-in-law to have a look again?"

What else could An Ran say, she could only stand up and take Mrs. Li to her yard.

An Ran actually liked Li Shi's strong and unyielding character, plus she felt a little guilty towards her, and spoke to her so much, the two met several times in the past few months, and they got on quite a bit.

An Ran knew that Mrs. Li had something to say to herself, so she didn't let Yulan enter the room with her. After asking Mrs. Li to sit down, she poured tea for Mrs. Li herself.

Mrs. Li also left her close maid outside, then took An Ran's hand and said: "You have always been the smartest, and my sister-in-law will not go around with you anymore, you should already know the purpose of me and my mother-in-law, right? "

An Ran nodded, and said with a light smile: "It's because of my brother's entry into Prince Ping's mansion. I know Lord Qian is a student of Li Shangshu and a member of His Highness King An. Now His Highness King An and His Highness King Ping are opposing each other in the court. .”

Although Li knew that An Ran was smart, she didn't expect that she knew everything at such a young age.Since this is the case, Mrs. Li also cut to the chase and said: "It's good that you know everything. Yesterday my father-in-law was approached by Li Shangshu and asked about the young master. My father-in-law was surprised when he heard that the young master had entered Prince Ping's mansion. I remember The Eldest Young Master said that he would not participate in the prince's fight, but now... oh! I heard from my father-in-law that Li Shangshu seemed to be trying to harm the Eldest Young Master. My father-in-law tried to persuade him, only saying that the Eldest Young Master is young and ignorant..."

An Ran was shocked in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She took Li Shi's hand gratefully and said, "Master Qian has taken care of our family, we are all grateful. Please sister-in-law say thank you to Sir Qian on behalf of our brothers and sisters. It's just...there is a saying in the countryside that says 'a wise man doesn't put all his eggs in one basket', has my sister-in-law heard of it?"

When Li Shi heard this, she couldn't help being shocked.She thought for a while and said, "Sister, what you mean is that His Highness Wang An has little chance of winning? You must know that a small family like ours is different from a big family like the Eight Great Aristocratic Families. It doesn't matter if they step on a few boats, regardless of success or failure." It won't hurt the root. But we have only one chance with such a weak foundation. Once we get on the wrong boat, if the boat capsizes, everything will be lost..."

An Ran nodded in response, as if she agreed with Li Shi's words, but then sighed softly: "Sister-in-law is right. Although you are a girl from the Li family, you are now from the Qian family. You should persuade Qian grown-ups."

Li Shi was rendered speechless by An Ran's words.She originally advised An Ran to "abandon the darkness and turn to the light", but why did An Ran persuade her to "return from the wrong way" instead?
After a long time, Mrs. Li sighed and said, "My father-in-law also has good intentions. Isn't my sister worried that something will happen to the young master?"

An Ran took Li Shi's hand, smiled calmly and confidently: "Speaking of my brother, although I also worry in my heart, I believe that His Highness King Ping will not let those who follow him make mistakes. Lord Qian is a kind and caring person." We brothers and sisters all know righteous people, that’s why my sister told my sister-in-law about these things today. Sister-in-law, you might as well try to persuade Mr. Qian when you go back. Regardless of other things, my sister has only one sentence to offer... If the emperor really wants to rest assured, His Royal Highness will continue As the adopted son of His Royal Highness Queen An, he has been crowned the crown prince long ago, how can we wait until now?"

Hearing An Ran's words, Li Shi was shocked.The more she thought about it, the more she felt that An Ran's words made sense, so she couldn't sit still any longer and got up to leave immediately.

After seeing off Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Li, An Ran turned around and asked her mother and sister-in-law: "Mother, what did Mrs. Wen tell you?"

Gu Wanniang said: "Mother knows, you are afraid that mother will say the wrong thing, so tell Mrs. Wen about you and your brother? Is mother so stupid? You have explained it repeatedly, and mother always remembers it in her heart!"
