Crossing the Passenger Sacrifice

Li Huoyue let Madam Sang shout at the door of the Yun Hall while he asked the maid to clean up the Yun Hall first.

When Mrs. Sang realized that Li Lian really ignored the matter, she sighed anxiously and angrily and stopped looking.

When I turned around, Li Huoyue was sitting in the main seat and had prepared the tea.

Mrs. Sang frowned, blaming Li Huoyue for not knowing etiquette, but she remembered what Li Lian had said just now, that all the money in the Li Mansion was now in the hands of this girl Li Huoyue.

What does a little girl have to do with money?

It just so happens that the things given to the Sang family before were not the best. Let’s see if she won’t make a fortune this time!

Her expression softened a little and she sat in the guest seat consciously.

I don’t know if it’s because of the change in position, but no matter how straight Mrs. Sang straightened her back, she always felt a little uncomfortable and lacked confidence.

It was the first time the two met and they were not very familiar with each other.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. Mrs. Sang thought the other party would chat with her enthusiastically, but he just drank his tea and didn't want to speak.

Although Mrs. Sang was dissatisfied with Li Huoyue's attitude, she couldn't hold it in and spoke first to break the ice: "Huo Huo, I..."

"Mrs. Sang, I heard that your youngest son was taken away by King Liang?"

Mrs. Sang was interrupted before she could finish her words, which made her even more unhappy. However, the other person was asking about serious matters, so it was not a good idea to argue about it at this moment.

He originally planned to use the same tactics he had just used on Li Lian to get some money back for the furniture.

As a result, as soon as the other party opened his mouth, she took her attention away, and hurriedly followed up, fearing that she would miss this topic:

"Yes! I just wanted to give your father..."

Unexpectedly, Li Huoyue interrupted him again and said, "Oh, by the way, did you know that Sang Fuqing said yesterday that he wanted to be with his sweetheart for the rest of his life? Did you ask me to withdraw?"

Mrs. Sang was shocked. She really didn't know that her son had done such a stupid thing.

No wonder the matter of Xu Jiao'er and Qing'er has been circulating for so long, and Li Huoyue only came to cause trouble yesterday.

"Ah? I haven't heard of this before... But this kid has always been a little impatient. Maybe I didn't express my meaning clearly, so you misunderstood me."

Mrs. Sang's current conversational thinking was completely following Li Huoyue's introduction.

"I heard from some shopkeepers in Shengyu Street that you have been asking them recently, Madam Sang, if they can make me another set of cheap clothes and jewelry and put them on the Li Mansion's account, is that right?"

The information Li Huoyue threw at him was numerous and attention-grabbing. Before he could even finish his prepared remarks, the other party changed the subject.

"It doesn't really matter if we have one more set. Our Li family can still afford this amount of money."

Li Huoyue had heard the shopkeepers mention this matter before, and she directly refused.

At that time, the incident involving Xu Jiao'er had not yet been reported, and people just thought that the old woman was trying to take advantage of the situation and replace one thing with another.

I didn't expect that I would start to think about these things at that time.

Mrs. Sang thought Li Huoyue agreed, so she laughed and said, "Yes, it's just one more cheap one. For the Li family..."

Li Huoyue still didn't give her a chance to speak: "Why did Madam Sang do this?"

When asked this question, Mrs. Sang suddenly got stuck.

Without any foreshadowing like the previous conversation with Li Lian, she didn't know how to talk about Xu Jiaoer when Li Huoyue asked her so directly.

Seeing that Mrs. Sang was speechless, Li Huoyue said:

"Oh, maybe Madam Sang has forgotten about it. After all, the shopkeeper told me this when I was shopping at Shengyu Street not long after the Chinese New Year. I guess he hasn't asked about it recently, right?"

The Li and Sang families discussed the wedding date before the New Year, and the selection of the top scholar was on March 15th. However, Mrs. Sang’s request for an extra set of clothes happened shortly after the wedding date was set with the Li family, and before the news that Xu Jiaoer said Li Huoyue was the third party came out.

If they had started planning to let Xu Jiao'er marry in at that time, it would obviously be that Madam Sang knew about Sang Fuqing and Xu Jiao'er but was unwilling to reveal a single word to the Li family.

It is more likely that the two families set the wedding date when Sang Fuqing and Xu Jiaoer were still dating.

"No, it's not..."

Li Huoyue finally smiled and said:

"The wedding date had just been set at that time, and all preparations related to the wedding were still just a general idea, and nothing had actually started. So if Madam Sang had any ideas at that time, she could have directly raised them to the Li Mansion."

Mrs. Sang finally closed her mouth and pretended to drink tea to divert attention, but when she touched the tea, she found that she had not been given new tea.

Li Huoyue took a sip of the tea in his hand and said:

"But you didn't. Later, we repeatedly asked for your opinion, and you always said that we should follow the Li Mansion's rules and the Li Mansion could do it on its own. Am I right, Madam Sang?"

Mrs. Sang was now feeling a little uneasy. She had originally wanted to use Xu Jiaoer's "brave" remarks in the hall to spread a beautiful story of a talented man and a beautiful woman, so that it would also be glorious to propose that Xu Jiaoer be allowed to marry.

But if it was true as Li Huoyue said, then the matter would become that Sang Fuqing and Xu Jiaoer secretly made plans and joined forces with the Sang family to defraud the Li family and marry the only daughter of the Li family.

Her son still wants to pursue a career in politics, and he can't let these things tarnish his chances and ruin his future.

Mrs. Sang was silent at this moment, because she really couldn't say anything.

"By the way, my father just asked me to take care of something. What did you tell him about? Why don't you tell me more and I'll see how to handle it."

Mrs. Sang was silent for a while, cursing in her heart that the Li family were not good people and were all difficult to talk to!

After hesitating for a while, Madam Sang finally said, "I am thinking about you, Huo Huo. You know there is a female champion who also loves our Qing Er. I am thinking about letting her..."

"Let her marry in and I withdraw?" Li Huoyue said, "Or let her retreat when she sees the difficulty and recognize her position?"

Since Li Huoyue had brought it up, although Mrs. Sang felt very uneasy, she still expressed her thoughts:

"No, I want you and her..."

At this time, Li Huoyue suddenly changed the subject, interrupted Mrs. Sang and asked:

"Hey, look, where are we going now? What were we talking about at the beginning?"

Mrs. Sang was about to speak out when she was interrupted again.

say what?!

What else can I say??!

Let her talk?!

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, so I just said it out loud. No matter whether she accepted it or not, the Li family had already sent the invitation, so what else could I do?

Li Huoyue admired Madam Sang's face, which turned red and white. Just before she was about to get angry, he said, "Oh, yes, it's about your youngest son being taken to Prince Liang's Mansion, right? Is this why you came to the Li Mansion today?"
