"If you don't believe me, Sir Liang, you might as well go out and ask around. After what happened today, which family in Jiangnan City would dare to take you as their adopted daughter..."

"It's better to give her to my Ruo'er as a concubine. In the future, Ruo'er will marry Tan'er as her principal wife. The two sisters will be able to take care of each other in the Li Mansion."

Liang Su was somewhat shaken by what Madam Li said.

At this time, Li Ruo, who was beside Mrs. Li, also showed a happy expression on his face.

He looked at Xu Shengsheng who was standing in the hall.

He knew that Shengsheng had feelings for him, and he also loved Shengsheng.

If my mother insisted on not letting her marry me, I would have to let Shengsheng be my concubine.

Being a concubine is a bit unfair to Shengsheng...but it is still a good choice after all.

At worst, he would favor his concubine over his wife and only favor Shengsheng.

Li Ruo's eyes lit up, and his tone became higher: "Mom, is this true?"

Mrs. Li looked at her son who ate shit and felt angry.

But she still gently touched Li Ruo's face and said, "My dear son, since you like this girl so much, I will certainly comply with your wishes."

Li Ruo was so happy to get his mother's answer that he completely ignored Liang Tan who was still sitting in the hall.

She said to Xu Shengsheng in a happy tone: "Shengsheng, my mother agrees that we can be together."

In contrast to Li Ruo's cheerful face, Xu Shengsheng's face was a little more sad.

"Madam." Xu Shengsheng paused: "...I am not a concubine."

"Ah? Why?" Li Ruo was anxious. He quickly walked around Xu Shengsheng and explained to the frowning Xu Shengsheng: "Shengsheng, don't worry. Although you are a concubine, I will love you more than my wife."

"Mr. Li, I know how you feel about me..."

"Shengsheng, when there is a chance in the future, I will definitely help you become my legal wife."

Listening to Li Ruo's increasingly outrageous words, Mrs. Li hit the back of his head with a few knuckles of her fingers.

Madam Li cleared her throat and said, "You only have one chance. If you miss it, it will be gone."

She said this to Xu Shengsheng.

Xu Shengsheng listened to Madam Li's words and said, "Shengsheng was born in a humble family and never thought of clinging to the rich and powerful, but she would not lower herself to become someone's concubine. There was only a misunderstanding between Shengsheng and Master Li. If I caused Master Li to misunderstand me, Shengsheng would like to apologize to him."

"Besides, the innocent are innocent. There is nothing wrong between Shengsheng and Mr. Li. No matter how much the people in Jiangnan City gossip about me, Shengsheng won't care. If no one marries me in the future, I will always stay by my adoptive father's side and take care of him until his death."

"After my adoptive father has passed away for a hundred years, Shengsheng will enter Buddhism, beat the wooden fish and chant Buddhist scriptures, and live out his life there."

Xu Shengsheng's words were so sincere that Li Ruo's heart was broken.

Li Ruo was deeply moved by her noble character and filial piety.

How could there be a good girl like Shengsheng in this world!

Li Ruo also made up his mind. He said to Xu Shengsheng solemnly: "Shengsheng, don't worry, I will definitely marry you!"

Xu Shengsheng glanced at Li Ruo and smiled at him tenderly: "Mr. Li..."

"So you don't want Ruo'er to be your concubine?" asked Mrs. Li.

"Shengsheng is only a wife, not a concubine."

"Oh, you don't want to, then just treat it as my talking too much." Madam Li retracted her smile and looked at Liang Su again: "Sir Liang, you also saw that it was your adopted daughter who didn't want to marry my Ruo'er. I guess you don't like the Li Mansion."

"What are you talking about, Madam Li?" Liang Su smiled brightly.

His attitude towards Mrs. Li took a 180-degree turn.

"If Shengsheng is unwilling to marry Mr. Li, but Tan'er marries Mr. Li, it will be a happy marriage."

"Oh? Lord Liang agrees to continue the marriage between Tan'er and Ruo'er?"

"Of course..." Liang Su forced a smile on his face. If Shengsheng was unwilling to marry Li Ruo, how could he push his dear Shengsheng into the fire pit? Even if Shengsheng's reputation was damaged and she couldn't get married in Jiangnan City, he could just go to the better capital to find a husband for Shengsheng. Why should he stick to Jiangnan City?

Besides, the purpose of Mrs. Li running around is just to get Liang Tan's engagement...

There was no need for him to cause a big quarrel with the Li family over such a small matter.

Liang Su said: "Tan'er and Ruo'er were already engaged, they just had a conflict, there is no need to cancel the engagement."

When Mrs. Li heard the answer she wanted to hear, she finally felt relieved and she smiled sincerely this time.

He looked at Liang Tan with gentle eyes: "Tan'er, look, your father has agreed to continue your engagement with Ruo'er, what about you..."

Finally someone mentioned Liang Tan.

Liang Tan's cold gaze swept towards Madam Li, then towards Liang Su, Xu Shengsheng, and Li Ruo.

The four people had different expressions on their faces.

Liang Tan said: "If Dad is willing to give Master Li a chance, I will naturally give Master Li a chance, but Tan'er has a condition."

Mrs. Li's face was full of guilt and love for her. Mrs. Li asked, "What are the conditions?"

"The wedding date has been extended."

"extend?"

Li Ruo and Liang Tan’s wedding date is set for this summer.

I think there is only about half a year left.

Madam Li patiently asked, "Then how long do you want to extend it to?"

Liang Tan's face was clear and her voice was the same: "I will only be willing to marry you when Mr. Li has no one in his heart."

Mrs. Li looked at Li Ruo, who was drooling over Xu Shengsheng, with some difficulty.

Liang Tan’s request is a bit difficult.

But fortunately, the engagement was not cancelled, which is a good result.

Mrs. Li smiled again, and she smiled gently at Liang Tan: "As long as Tan'er doesn't cancel the engagement and marry into the Li Mansion, I will take care of all these messes."

"In that case, let's wait for good news." Liang Tan bowed to Madam Li.

Madam Li looked at the lady Liang Tan in front of her, and she liked her more and more. Then she looked at the petty little bitch, and she felt more and more disgusted.

Madam Li turned around, and her gentle face immediately turned cold. She said to the infatuated Li Ruo in a deep voice: "Li Ruo, since this girl is unwilling to marry you as a concubine, you should stop dreaming."

"mother……"

"Master Liang, goodbye."

Li Ruo was almost dragged out of Wanjing Hall by his mother.

Before leaving, Li Ruo's eyes were still glued to Xu Shengsheng.

Upon seeing this, Madam Li raised her leg and kicked Li Ruo: "Let's go back home!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Li did not forget to glance at Xu Shengsheng.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Shengsheng felt numb from head to toe.

She came to Wanjing Hall because she heard from the maid that Li Ruo was asking to marry her in Wanjing Hall, so she rushed here in a hurry despite the injuries she had received from being beaten with a whip by that idiot Liang Tan.

But what she didn't expect was that when she rushed to the outside of the Wanjingtang garden, her mother happened to be walking towards her. Her mother covered her face and cried as if she had suffered great humiliation. Before she could say anything, her mother ran away.
