Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

A noblewoman nearby spoke up, "I feel so sorry for Lingzhi. You and Minister Luo clearly knew each other first, so how could you let a village woman snatch your good marriage away? Who knows how she managed to get close to Prince Li's mansion and ask Prince Li to act as a matchmaker!"

Cheng Lingzhi was filled with frustration. After a moment, she bit her lip tightly and said, "He has his own difficulties, and I understand. Forget it. We are here to buy fabric today, so let's not talk about these sad things!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a lady in brocade clothes also leading people into the garment workshop.

When Xiao Shuyi saw her face clearly, she subconsciously wanted to avoid her.

But Lin Yiwan grabbed her hand and whispered, "Your appearance has changed now. She won't be able to recognize you. Don't be afraid!"

Xiao Shuyi took a few quick breaths, and her expression finally regained some composure.

The person who came was none other than Madam Qin, the mistress of the Qin family who was so heartless as to refuse to claim her body.

She quickly walked up to Cheng Lingzhi and said, "I heard that you admire my nephew Luo Feng very much?"

Cheng Lingzhi's pretty face flushed instantly, and she asked cautiously, "I wonder what the lady's identity is?"

Mrs. Qin introduced herself: "I am his aunt, from the Qin family in northern Jiangsu!"

Cheng Lingzhi's face suddenly changed. She remembered that the young man who framed her brother was from the Qin family in northern Jiangsu.

She quickly asked cautiously, "You're not still holding a grudge against me, are you? Young Master Qin's death has nothing to do with us. He committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"

Madam Qin shook her head: "That's not why I came to you. Indeed, he did something that brought shame to the family. He deserves to die!"

Hearing this, Xiao Shuyi's body trembled violently.

The fingers hidden in her sleeves suddenly clenched, and she pinched her palms hard. Even if it hurt, it was not as painful as the pain in her heart.

Lin Yiwan held her hand at the right moment and whispered to her, "Shuyi, you are now the adopted daughter of the King of Li, and also my sister. Why should you care about those insignificant people?"

Xiao Shuyi woke up as if from a dream. Yes, her identity was different now, and she didn't need to worry about those cruel and heartless people anymore.

She calmed down in an instant, with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth.

She wanted to see what Mrs. Qin was planning.

Madam Qin warmly took Cheng Lingzhi's hand and said, "Ever since that scandal happened, I've felt extremely guilty towards your Cheng family. I've thought about it over and over again, but I still can't figure out how to make it up to you. Since you're interested in my Luo Feng, why don't I help you find a match with him? This way, I'll fulfill your kindness!"

Cheng Lingzhi was so excited that she couldn't speak. She never expected that such a big pie would fall on her head.

The noble ladies around her were even more excited. They all started to cheer and encourage her, "Miss Cheng, please agree quickly. This is a good thing. The elders of Minister Luo's family are matchmakers. How can he refuse?"

Cheng Lingzhi was almost blinded by joy. She said tremblingly, "Thank you for Madam Qin's appreciation. However, I heard that Prince Li has already been matched with Minister Luo. How can I interfere?"

Madam Qin said disdainfully, "My Luo Feng is not a fool. As the Minister of War, he wants a mistress who can manage the household, not some lowly maid who got lucky on the farm. Come with me to the Luo Mansion. I want to see how a noble lady like you can fail to catch his eye!"

Cheng Lingzhi lowered her eyes shyly, but the noblewoman beside her urged her, "Go ahead, Miss Cheng, don't hold back. Didn't you say that when you went to see Minister Luo before, he was very polite to you? He will definitely be satisfied with you. As long as he refuses the marriage to Prince Li, even if he has a high status, he shouldn't mess around with other people, right?"

Madam Qin also nodded hurriedly: "Yes, you have to make Luo Feng satisfied with you first. That way, no matter who is the matchmaker, you will never be able to enter the Luo family!"

Cheng Lingzhi's cheeks were very red. She knew that this was against the rules, but she still had delusional thoughts.

After all, she was the concubine's daughter of the Cheng family, and she accompanied her brother to the capital to take the imperial examination in order to marry into a wealthy family.

As long as she becomes the mistress of the Minister of War's Mansion, she will have completely crawled out of the mud.

She would rely on this status to trample under her feet the Cheng family's legitimate sons and daughters who bullied her, and would never let them stand up again.

More importantly, it can also help my brother's future official career.

Thinking of this, she decided to give it a try.

There is no better way out anyway, so why doesn't she seize this hard-won opportunity?

Without further hesitation, she grasped Madam Qin's hand and said, "Okay, I'll go to Luo Mansion with you!"

Madam Qin smiled with satisfaction: "That's right. You are so outstanding, you are definitely many times better than that bitch who appeared from some unknown corner. My Luo Feng is not stupid, how can he not distinguish between fragrance and stench?"

Xiao Shuyi raised her eyebrows sarcastically, and couldn't help teasing in her heart, the slut you are talking about is actually your own daughter.

But you will never hear her call you mother again in this life.

Madam Qin took Cheng Lingzhi away, and Lin Yiwan also planned to go and watch the fun. She pulled Xiao Shuyi's wrist and urged, "Come on, let's go and see how your cousin humiliates them!"

Xiao Shuyi couldn't help but hesitate. "Wanwan, you can see that Madam Qin has a very strong temper. What if he can't refuse?"

Lin Yiwan reached out and pinched her face. "Are you lacking confidence in yourself, or in your cousin? Do you think he's the type that can be easily manipulated? Besides, if he really gives in, he wouldn't be worthy of being your husband. Isn't it a good opportunity to see him clearly?"

Xiao Shuyi thought it made sense, so she followed her to the Luo family mansion.

Although Madam Qin and Cheng Lingzhi arrived earlier than them, they had not yet entered the Luo residence.

Madam Qin said with a sullen face, "Get out of the way! I'm Luo Feng's elder and have lived here before. Why are you not letting me in now?"

The gatekeeper spoke awkwardly, "Madam, our master has instructed that the mansion is preparing for a wedding. No outsiders are allowed to enter the mansion at will, so as not to ruin the scenery that has been carefully decorated!"

Madam Qin was immediately furious. How could she be an outsider?

She is Luo Feng's elder!

Even if he gets married, he has to sit in the seat for elders!

She angrily scolded: "Are you blind? Don't you recognize who I am?"

The gatekeeper replied calmly, "I recognize you as Madam Qin, but my lord says that since the day you refused to claim the body of the young master of the Qin family, his kinship with the Qin family of northern Jiangsu has been severed. From now on, no one from the Qin family is allowed to enter the mansion!"
