The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

But before she could take a closer look, the expression in Chi Jianxi's eyes had already changed. At the same time, Chi Jianxi spoke again, "I heard that the Crown Prince's wife has had some unpleasantness with your father and brother recently. I imagine that the Crown Prince's wife, besides not knowing that your eldest brother's fiancée fell into the water and died, is also unaware that so many people have come to your general's mansion to propose marriage lately that they are almost breaking down the door of your general's mansion."

Li Shu nodded slightly and asked, "Those matchmakers are most likely targeting Li Jin, right? After all, Li Yan, Li Shen, and Li Xing have all said they'd wait until Li Jin is married before discussing marriage. The fact that so many people are trying to be matchmakers for Li Jin is enough to prove his character. Why did Madam come to ask me specifically?"

"Not on purpose..."

Chi Jianxi gave a slightly stiff smile, then said, "To be honest, Madam Crown Prince, my sister suddenly called me over yesterday afternoon and said that after your eldest brother's marriage was finalized, she would give my daughter, Ke Yi, to your eldest brother as a concubine, so that our Marquis's Mansion and the General's Mansion could be further related. But a concubine is still a concubine. Although I became a concubine for love without hesitation, I didn't want my daughter to follow in my footsteps. Moreover, I had already asked the Marquis for permission not to marry my two daughters into wealthy families as concubines a few years ago. I never expected that the Marquis had never mentioned this to my sister!"

When he said this, Chi Jianxi's voice subconsciously rose a lot.

So she paused, took a deep breath, and calmed herself before continuing, "Originally, after attending the banquet at Prince Cheng's Mansion today, I was going to leave the capital to discuss that matter with the Marquis. However, this morning, I heard from the servants around me that the Crown Prince's wife was also going to attend a banquet at Prince Cheng's Mansion today. So, I wanted to ask if the Crown Prince's wife would be willing to go with me. I could then ask the Crown Prince's wife about your brother's character at the banquet. After all, outsiders can never know a person's true character; only family members know him best. I thought that if the Crown Prince's wife's brother is a kind and sincere man, I could wait to make a decision after carefully asking Keyi about her feelings."

That is to say...

Even though Xu Daijun has made up his mind, and even though Ning Shuyang may not have taken Chi Jianxi's request to heart at all, and therefore did not mention it to Xu Daijun, Chi Jianxi is confident that he can influence Ning Keyi's marriage?

I don’t know if it’s because of Ning Shuyang’s favor for her, or the confidence given to her by her family?

Thinking about this secretly, Li Shu met Chi Jianxi's eyes and asked, "Did you ever regret becoming a concubine for love?"

Chi Jianxi's expression froze.

The answer is self-evident.

Li Shu then asked, "Has Madam Consort ever regretted having her children be born out of wedlock because of her status as a concubine?"

Chi Jianxi opened her mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

After a moment, she suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Li Shu, "I understand what Madam Crown Prince meant! Thank you for your advice!"

Li Shu smiled faintly, "Madam, you are too polite. I just asked you two questions, not suggestions. Besides... given the current situation, if you want to go to the Chengjun Prince's Mansion with me for the banquet, I am afraid it will cause you a lot of trouble. If you don't mind at all, then I am willing to go with you. After all, you are much more familiar with the Chengjun Prince's Mansion than I am. With you accompanying me, I will definitely not be bored today."

"If I minded, I would not have come to Bamboo Garden, but would have looked for an opportunity to talk with the Crown Prince's wife in Prince Cheng's mansion."

Hearing this, Li Shu turned around and glanced at the hourglass beside her, then stood up and said, "Then it's time for us to set off. Madam, would you like to take my carriage, or..."

At the end of her words, she looked at Chi Jianxi inquiringly.

Chi Jianxi then said, "Madam, you may not know that Ke Yi and Ke Rou will also be accompanying me to the banquet today. They are already waiting in the carriage outside the mansion."

"South door?"

"Yes."

"Then take my carriage to the south gate and then get on their carriage."

Then, outside the south door, after Chi Jianxi got off the carriage, Li Shu lifted the curtain and looked outside.

Unexpectedly, he saw the sisters Ning Keyi and Ning Keyuo waiting for Chi Jianxi outside the carriage.

I don’t know how long they waited, but the sisters’ faces were red from the cold.

I would rather follow Chi Jianxi in both appearance and figure.

Plump but not fat.

Her little face is chubby with a pair of deep dimples, and her smile is sweet and charming.

Looks like a lucky person.

I think when she got married, Chi Jianxi would give her a generous dowry.

If you marry someone whose family background is not as good as the one of the Marquis, unless there are unexpected events, your life will probably be smooth and stable for the rest of your life.

But if I marry a blind and heartless man like Li Jin as a concubine, I don’t know if I will be tortured.

But, it has nothing to do with her anyway...

Thinking of this, Li Shu lowered the curtains.

About half an hour later, in front of the main gate of Prince Cheng's Mansion, Li Shu had just stepped out of the carriage when she heard the two sisters Ning Keyi and Ning Keyu greet her in unison.

"Keyi has met the eldest sister-in-law."

"Ke Rou has met the eldest sister-in-law."

Ning Ke Rou is about five years younger than Ning Keyi. Her face is a little rounder than Ning Keyi's, which makes her look even more adorable.

She was also covered with a pomegranate red cloak, just like the lucky doll in the New Year pictures. When people saw her, they would be reminded that the New Year was approaching.

Regardless of whether their mother had other purposes in approaching her, the fact that she was interacting with them made Xu Daijun anxious.

For this, Li Shu smiled at them and then got off the carriage with Qinghong's help.

Then she had just stood still when she heard Xie Yu's voice.

"Sister, you're finally here! We've been waiting for you here for a long time!"

NS?

Li Shu looked in the direction of the voice and the first person she saw was Li Shen with a sour face.

She subconsciously raised her eyebrows.

Isn’t it the plum blossom viewing banquet hosted by Princess Cheng today?

Why are there male guests at the banquet?

Before she even went to see Xie Yu, Li Shen spoke up, "Yu'er has always accompanied you to various banquets. You've been making such a fuss lately, and I'm worried that you'll instigate others to bully her. I sent a letter to Prince Cheng and came today to see his collection of various swords. So you'd better not have any bad intentions towards Yu'er, otherwise..."

"Let's go in."

Before Li Shen could finish his words, Li Shu spoke to Chi Jianxi, her mother and daughter.

She didn't need to look to know that Li Shen's face must have turned red with anger again.

Then, after passing by Li Shen, she specifically instructed Jingzhe and Guyu, "After entering Prince Cheng's Mansion today, you must be extremely alert. If Third Young Master Li and his beloved Yu'er comes within fifty meters of me, immediately remind me to go somewhere else."

"Yes!"

After Jingzhe and Guyu responded in unison, Li Shen shouted angrily, "Li Shu! Have you had enough of making trouble? Who would still talk to Yu'er after you said that..."
