Mrs. Li shook her sleeves, said a lot of words of persuasion, and then turned her face away.

Chen Qingtang endured it again and again, his eyes turned cold: "I haven't seen my aunt for a few years, I didn't expect that my aunt is still like this. What did my mother say about you when you left the Chen Mansion?"

"You..." Mrs. Li suddenly turned around and glared at Chen Qingtang.

It would have been better if this matter had not been mentioned. Once it was mentioned, the resentment that had been pent up in Mrs. Li's heart was awakened again.

"Okay, fine. Your Chen family is from a high-class family, and my Li family can't even afford to marry your daughter. But what about you now? As a royal relative, you can't even decide your own life and death. There is only the difference between the monarch and the minister, and there is no human touch at all. If you don't listen to me, you will suffer a great loss sooner or later." Mrs. Li said sarcastically.

Li Qiulian also said strangely: "Cousin, my brother married the daughter of a third-rank minister. Although she is a concubine's daughter, she is a third-rank official, which is no worse than being in the Chen family. We came to the Xie family this time just to remind you with good intentions. Since you are determined to make plans for the Xie family, I think..."

She turned back to look at her mother and said, "Mom, please tell my cousin why we are here, so that she won't think we have bad intentions."

"Well," Madam Li said, "I came to Chen Country this time for another matter."

Chen Qingtang said with a cold face: "If it is a business matter, I don't understand business and can't help my aunt."

Mrs. Li was furious, but thinking of Li Qiulian's future, she endured it: "Don't worry, I won't beg you for help in this matter. People still have to have dignity. My Li family is also a respectable family in Jiangping County. I want to ask for your help for your cousin's marriage."

"Marriage?" Chen Qingtang looked up at Nanny Yao.

Nanny Yao winked at her, suggesting that she wait and see what happened.

Chen Qingtang came back to his senses and said, "The sons of my Xie family are all married, and the Xie family has a good family tradition and never takes concubines."

"Who wants to be a concubine of the Xie family?" Li Qiulian was unhappy: "We are attracted to Lord He, the Supervisory Commissioner who is honest and fearless of power."

He Yuanzhou!! Chen Qingtang was very surprised. She thought that Madam Li wanted to send Li Qiulian to the Xie family and choose a good young man from the children of the Xie family to marry her. But she didn't expect that Madam Li and Li Qiulian were so ambitious and actually took a fancy to He Yuanzhou.

Chen Qingtang did not reject the offer on the spot, but instead looked at Li Qiulian's appearance again.

Li Qiulian's eyebrows and eyes look so much like hers. If she were taught proper etiquette, it would not be impossible to pass them off as real.

Mrs. Li was a materialistic person who was greedy for small gains, and her daughter Li Qiulian had the same personality as her.

Chen Qingtang thought that if he sent Li Qiulian to He Yuanzhou, wouldn't it be easier to fulfill the emperor's plan?

"How is it? Cousin, why are you silent? I don't look worse than you, do I? Mother says that I look like my cousin. My cousin was able to marry into a wealthy family and become a noble lady. I will also be blessed to marry a high-ranking official in the future. Lord He is young and promising. He is very devoted to his deceased wife. He is just and loves the people. Most importantly, he is not afraid of imperial power. No matter what noble status you have, as long as you commit a crime, he will arrest you. The fact that he dared to arrest the general proves his execution ability. I like such heroes so much." Li Qiulian looked infatuated and full of joy.

Chen Qingtang glanced at her and saw through Li Qiulian and Madam Li's thoughts at a glance.

What they valued was that He Yuanzhou dared to resist the imperial power and capture Chen Qingtang's husband.

Ordinary people who knew about this would still have a trace of sympathy, but her aunt was different. She was trying to rub salt into others' affairs. Did she really think that Chen Qingtang was easy to bully?

"Okay, I can help you." Chen Qingtang agreed immediately.

Nanny Yao subconsciously looked down at Chen Qingtang, then silently closed her mouth and watched Madam Li and her daughter continue to act up.

Mrs. Li was very surprised. This was the first time Chen Qingtang agreed to do something so readily: "You..."

She frowned and asked in confusion, "You won't stop Qiulian from marrying Lord He?"

"It is better to demolish a temple than to break up a marriage. Besides, Qiulian is my cousin. Putting aside the matter of the general, Lord He is indeed an upright gentleman. If this marriage can be accomplished, I will also accumulate blessings for the general. For me, it will also be beneficial. In the future, if the marriage is successful, I hope my cousin can say a few good words in front of Lord He. The two families can interact and benefit each other." Chen Qingtang's lips curled up slightly.

Her words made Mrs. Li and her daughter very happy...
