The Domineering General and His Post-it Lady

The old lady saw that Lou Yunpiao was in a bad mood after she came back from buying silk fabrics. She always felt that something had happened. She asked the maid Xiaotao, but she only said that she went to buy fabrics and didn't find anything unusual. When she saw the maid Xiaotao hesitating, she knew that something must have happened, but she didn't tell her.

The old lady didn't want to force Lou Yunpiao to speak, so she just told the maid Xiaotao to report anything to her in time. The maid Xiaotao nodded.

The next day, Master Zhang came to find Lou Yunpiao. Lou Yunpiao pretended to be unwell and did not see Master Zhang. The old lady found it even more strange. A few days ago, Lou Yunpiao was determined to marry Master Zhang, but now she avoided him.

Master Zhang also found it strange. A few days ago, he and Lou Yunpiao confirmed that they liked each other, so why did he come to see her and say he was sick? Could he have known something?

Young Master Zhang was also very conflicted inside. These days, Mr. Zhang had been pressuring him to propose marriage to Lou Yunpiao and to quickly get Lou Yunpiao married and announce to the outside world that she was marrying Young Master Zhang, but in fact she was marrying Mr. Zhang.

Young Master Zhang has already fallen in love with Lou Yunpiao and is extremely reluctant. Why does Mr. Zhang want to marry Lou Yunpiao in this way?

On the day of Madam Fan's birthday banquet at the Fan Mansion, Mr. Zhang was fortunate enough to be invited to celebrate the birthday and met Lou Yunpiao once. At that time, Lou Yunpiao walked past him with the old lady, and Mr. Zhang was fascinated by Lou Yunpiao.

Mr. Zhang is an out-and-out playboy, or rather a playboy old man. Although he is old, he has quite a few wives, eight already, and he wants to marry Lou Yunpiao to make her his ninth wife.

Mr. Zhang quickly sent someone to inquire about Lou Yunpiao's situation. Lou Yunpiao had never married because she and her mother had very high demands, and Mr. Zhang's conditions could not meet her requirements. She was also unwilling to marry an old man like him who had eight wives.

So, he thought of letting his son, Master Zhang, attract Lou Yunpiao's attention, then marry Lou Yunpiao in the name of his son, and then make her his ninth wife.

At the beginning, Master Zhang was reluctant to do this, but after much persuasion from Mr. Zhang, he had to agree.

Now Young Master Zhang only wants to marry Lou Yunpiao and doesn't want to give up to Mr. Zhang, which makes Mr. Zhang very angry.

On one side is his father, and on the other side is the woman he loves. He is in a dilemma. Although there are many difficulties, Master Zhang still tries his best to fight for her.

Now Lou Yunpiao doesn't want to see him, which makes him very panicked and he doesn't know what to do.

Lou Yunpiao thought about what Master Zhang and his father said every day. Although Master Zhang and his father had made it clear that they liked her, she felt that Master Zhang was a "three-nothing" person in the mansion - no money, no power, and no influence.

This meant nothing, which was contrary to her original wishes. Although she liked Master Zhang very much, she was also very conflicted inside. She hoped to marry a noble or wealthy man in the city in the future.

After Mr. Zhang knew that his son also liked Lou Yunpiao, he thought he had to act quickly, otherwise his son would ruin it and that would be bad.

So, Mr. Zhang found a matchmaker, sent all the betrothal gifts, took his son to propose marriage, and when the other party agreed, he told his son that on the wedding night, he should lock him up first and then carry Lou Yunpiao to his room. By then, things would have come to this point and his son would not have any thoughts, so Lou Yunpiao would naturally become his ninth wife.

Soon, the people sent by Mr. Zhang came to the Fan Mansion to propose marriage. When the old lady saw the several carts of dowry and the glittering gold, silver and jewelry, she was dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the Zhang Mansion's proposal would be so grand. The old lady was very happy, but she didn't know what Lou Yunpiao was thinking.

Lou Yunpiao walked out and saw the whole courtyard was full of things, so she asked the old lady what was going on. The old lady said that they were sent by the Zhang family to propose marriage to Mr. Zhang, and the old lady had already agreed to the marriage for Lou Yunpiao.

The aunt also asked Lou Yunpiao to go and take a look at these things. Lou Yunpiao was dumbfounded after hearing this and said to the aunt: "Mom, why didn't you ask me if I agreed or not, and you took the initiative to agree to this marriage?"

The old lady was surprised and said, "Do I need to ask you this? Look at the way you look at Master Zhang, it's as if you can't wait to marry him. And you said a few days ago that you would marry no one but him. Now he's coming to propose marriage, why don't I agree to it quickly, or you'll blame me."

Lou Yunpiao said angrily: "Mother, how could you do this? I can't marry Master Zhang!"

The old lady was shocked and said to Lou Yunpiao, "Why can't you marry Master Zhang? Is he going to become a monk?"

Lou Yunpiao shook her head and said, "No, he and I are not suitable!"

The old lady walked up to Lou Yunpiao and said, "Piao'er, you rarely lie to me. You haven't mentioned Master Zhang since the day you bought the silk fabric. Did Master Zhang do something to make you unhappy, so you don't want to spend the rest of your life with him?"

Lou Yunpiao sighed, and seeing that the old lady was particularly anxious and excited, she told her everything that she had heard when she went out to buy cloth that day and later when she arrived at the back door of Master Zhang's mansion.

The old lady’s mouth was almost open from ear to ear. Others were laughing so hard that their mouths couldn’t close, but she was so surprised that her jaw almost dropped.

The old lady said angrily, "I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to be so playful at his age. You must not marry such a man. He already has a ninth wife, and there will be a tenth wife. If this continues, all the beauties in the harem will come. How can you be favored by then? Facing such an old man, I have no appetite for food."

Lou Yunpiao agreed with her aunt's words very much. Now, the problem came. Her aunt had just readily agreed to the proposal. If she ran back and told the person who delivered the betrothal gifts that she did not agree, that would not work.

After all, he accepted so many things from others, and it was the aunt who agreed to it personally. This is troublesome. If he breaks off the engagement with Mr. Zhang, he will definitely not be willing. Seeing that his plan is about to succeed, he will not let a cooked duck go back into the lake.

What should she do now? The aunt went to see Mr. Li’s wife again. When Mr. Li’s wife heard about this, she did not dare to offend Mr. Zhang easily. Although Mr. Zhang was not the richest man in the capital, he was also a well-known figure in the capital.

If Lord Li's wife interferes in their affairs, she might get into trouble, which would be really troublesome.

So, Lord Li's wife played Tai Chi a few times and said a lot of flattering words, but she didn't mention much about the fact that Mr. Zhang's son, Master Zhang, was going to marry Lou Yunpiao.

Seeing that Lord Li's wife had an unclear attitude and kept avoiding the topic, the aunt roughly understood what she meant, but it was not convenient for her to ask her to do anything for Lou Yunpiao.

The old lady had no choice but to say goodbye. Before she left, Mr. Li’s wife reminded her that she heard that Mr. Zhang was not someone easy to mess with, so she asked her to be more careful.

This made the old lady even more panicked. If she couldn't cancel the engagement, her own daughter would have to marry an old man. She couldn't imagine what would happen.
