always be a chance to find the child.”"That's right, even if we assume the worst and the kidnapper took the child away to sell him, they would still need the child to be alive to make money. Maybe Bi...Mrs. Xing waved her hand and smiled, "I'm afraid if we save up the dowry, a good son-in-law like Jiren will be snatched away by someone else."

After that, she carefully told her husband about what she had seen at Li's house today.

"Lord, you wouldn't believe it. The father of the child being washed today, this little one called "San", is the eldest son of the Third House. He's a good person, there's no doubt about that, but he couldn't pass his exams and only likes to cook."

So, he usually helped the Li family’s patriarch at XiankeLai. It is said that he could handle things on his own.

The child's mother, Wenjuan, came from a decent family. She was the daughter of a professor at Lu'an Academy and could read and write, as well as do calculations.

But she had no mother to teach her, and was mistreated by her father's concubine. Life was hard for her.

Logically speaking, such a young couple would be overlooked within the family, and even their entire third branch wouldn't receive much attention. After all, they couldn't achieve high positions like becoming marquises or prime ministers to bring glory to their ancestors.

But today I took a closer look, and everyone in the Li family, from the old lady to the county princess to the children, showed no disrespect towards the third house.

"Even Wenjuan's confinement meals were made by her mother-in-law and aunts with their own hands because they didn't trust the maidservants..."

And their families don't have the rule that men can't enter the room or care for the postpartum wife.

"I even saw Jiahuan giving Wenjuan chicken soup and holding the child to sleep."

“This…this is against the rules, isn't it It's too absurd!”

Lord Xing was surprised and asked with some disapproval, but he was immediately rebuked by his wife!

"What's out of line Besides, rules are all made by you men. Who ever asked if we women wanted them!"

Mrs. Xing remembered the past events, she felt both angry and heartbroken, and directly wiped away her tears.

When I gave birth to Wan’er, everything went well. But when Ning’er was born, it severely damaged my body. For two whole months, I lay in bed, unable to move due to the pain. I drank endless potions and endured the cold snide remarks from my mother-in-law.

"I really wanted to see you and talk to you at that time, but you, as always, stuck to the rules. You didn't come into my room for two whole months, only asking a question from outside the window at most."

“You don't know how heartbroken I am! I've been suffering from postpartum depression for so many years, my body aches, but my heart aches even more!”

Mr. Xing was dumbfounded. He wanted to say that all men were like this, but seeing his daughter-in-law crying, he couldn't bear it and quickly soothed her.

"My wife, I was wrong! When I was younger, I didn't understand these things and caused you pain!"

Mrs. Xing also knew that it was unreasonable to blame him at this time. After all, too many years had passed, and all men in the world were like this, her husband wasn't the only one.

But it is precisely because of this that Li Jia's man stands out and is invaluable.

If a woman's husband was there to comfort her and help take care of the baby during her confinement, she would surely be happy and wouldn't feel as resentful.

"Alright, I hold no grudge against you, but Wan'er must marry into the Li family as soon as possible!" Madam Xing wiped away her tears, almost gritting her teeth in proclamation.

Okay, let's get married, right now!

"Tomorrow, have someone invite your sister over. You two sisters-in-law can discuss and do whatever makes you happy!"

Mr. Xing's desire to survive was overwhelming, his brain buzzing like a chicken pecking at millet, wondering what he could do to coax Mrs. Xing into smiling again…

The new member of the Li family, little Xingxing, is not only white, chubby and adorable, but also inherited her aunt's cuteness skills.

Just a few days old, and already knows how to soothe people.

No matter who holds him, he opens his big eyes and laughs non-stop.

Anyone who sees their reflection in his clear eyes can have their heart melted.

When Jia Yin has free time during the day, she likes to spend it looking at her little nephew.

All those matters of space, warmth, and even her status as a county princess meant nothing to her anymore.

On this day, Madam Jia Er brought Baozhu over and finally succeeded in pulling her away from her little nephew.

Jia Erfu couldn't help but hug the chubby boy, her affection overflowing. She chatted a few words with Wenjuan before accompanying Li Laotai to sit next door.

It is said that the Xing family intends to set up a marriage between Wan'er and Jiaren. Of course, Old Madam Li was delighted.

Wǎn'er is a steady and composed young woman who is good at managing household affairs. She's also skilled in needlework, and most importantly, she's loved by Jiārén!

Once Chang Sun marries into the family, with such a capable wife by his side, Old Madam Li won't have to worry about the second branch anymore.

Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru, having finished their chores, also came over to join the fun upon hearing the commotion.

Everyone ate fruit and quickly came to an agreement.

The matchmaker asked for Headmaster Zhou of Luoyang Academy.

Firstly, Lo-An Academy has a very good reputation, and its headmaster is also a highly respected person.

Furthermore, both Xing and Li Lao Er are familiar with the Dean.

Of course, if the director is unavailable, Old Madam Li would personally go to the Liu residence to invite Old Master Liu out to meet.

The old man is getting up in years. He's been coughing lately, and yesterday someone even sent him a basket of pears.

If absolutely necessary, the Li family doesn't want to make their elderly relative work.

As for the wedding date, after all the ceremonies are completed, it will be around May or June. At that time, we will ask a fortune teller to calculate which day is auspicious and set the date accordingly.

In the afternoon, after bidding farewell to Jia Erfu and her daughter Baozhu, who had eaten their fill, Old Madam Li quickly summoned her eldest grandson back from the city.

Xing Jia's quick agreement to the marriage proposal surprised Jia Ren. He guessed that the orchid must have completely won over his future father-in-law...

But no matter the reason, this is good news.

The next day, Li Lao'er took his son to Luoan Academy and brought Li Lao San back to look after the dining hall.

Li Lao San, this new grandpa, smiles all day long. He stands at the back door, waiting for everyone to come and see his grandchild.

But being just a father figure, he couldn't help with anything at home and was driven back to the Luo An Academy by his daughter-in-law.

Marriage is a joyous occasion, especially when families like the Li and Xing have already reached a mutual understanding.

A matchmaker going to propose is just a formality, there won't be any obstacles, and you even get a gift from the matchmaker.

So, Dean Zhou readily agreed and made arrangements for the Li family to pick him up in three days.

Then, he laughed and accepted Li Laer's contribution of a pot of azalea and a large basket of fruit...

Jiarren is the eldest grandson of the Li family, the leader of the third generation, and his father also has a title, which will most likely fall to him in the future.

Therefore, Jiarren's marriage was much grander than Jiahuan's from either side.

Even, when choosing a dinner time, Old Mrs. Li specially discussed with her whole family whether to prioritize renovating the Earl's Mansion and welcoming her eldest grandson's daughter-in-law in the city.

After this, the Earl's mansion will be where Jiaren and Wan'er reside permanently. They can also help manage some of the family affairs and relationships.

Our family also has a large place in the city where we can occasionally stay for a change of scenery.

Everyone naturally gave their full support, and even Jia Yin sent the skilled craftsmen from Junzhu Mansion to help.

Only Jia Ren was worried that Jia Huan wasn't feeling well.

As a result, Jia Huan's mind and eyes were full of his wife and son, he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

As for Wenjuan, ever since she married into the Li family, it's like she fell into a pit of blessings. She dreams and wakes up smiling.

Moreover, she was originally married to a chef and had never aspired to those glories that were not hers.

She just wanted to stay with her husband and children, living a simple life of food, warmth, peace and happiness.

Jiārén understood his younger brother and sister-in-law's thoughts, completely put his heart at ease, and just got busy in the city.

Jia Yin was also looking at her account book, thinking about finding something good to put in her elder brother's dowry.

At this time, Shui Ling came in from outside and reported, "My Lady, Old Hei has requested an audience!"

Three updates are presented ~~·own on his head. He was tall and graceful, exuding an air of nobility that was both unrestrained and flamboyant…Who is thisEveryone stood agape, unable to utter a sound.Especially Mr. Wen and Liu Zihe...
