The beauty who wears fast has many babies

Chapter 55 World 2: Lan Family

"Let's not talk about the past when we return home today. The most important thing for you right now is to continue the Marquis's family line." Prince Rong interrupted and changed the subject.

"I don't know, Li'er used to live alone in the side courtyard?" Xiao Cele naturally knew what was going on, but he said it deliberately with a gloomy expression.

"This...My Lord Marquis, you don't know that Wuli has liked quietness since she was a child, so I let her live in the side courtyard. I have no intention of treating her harshly! I hope My Lord Marquis can understand." Madam Liu hurriedly explained.

"is it?"

Xiao Cele sneered and did not believe what Madam Liu said, but he did not want to get entangled. Today was Wu Li's return home, and he did not want to make things too embarrassing.

"My Lord, I have not paid enough attention to my children's affairs before. I am ashamed." Prince Rong lowered his head and sighed, looking really guilty.

Xiao Cele knew this all too well. When he first learned Wu Li lived in the side courtyard, the more he thought about it, the more strange it seemed to him. How could Wu Li, the daughter of the prime minister, live in such a remote and shabby courtyard? Could it be true, as the rumors spread, that Madam Liu treated Wu Li badly?

Until he saw that the courtyard was deserted, with only a few trees and some weeds. The furnishings of the room were also very simple, and it didn't look like the residence of the prime minister's daughter at all.

He couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, so he naturally asked someone to investigate thoroughly. He wanted to deal with these people, but he could only do it slowly.

"Your Highness, you are too kind." Xiao Cele said no more.

"Father, Mother, Lord Marquis, please have your meal first." A female voice interrupted their conversation.

Wu Li felt the affected voice sounded familiar. Turning to look, he saw who it was, Xiao Wanru. She was dressed in a pale blue gown intricately embroidered with floral patterns, a delicate hair accessory, and light makeup, making her look exceptionally beautiful. Her eyes held a hint of shyness and tenderness that captivated him.

"Yes, Your Highness, let's eat first. Li'er must be hungry too." Xiao Wanru's mother, Lan, advised.

She was a gentle and virtuous woman, and though she was over fifty, she still maintained an elegant demeanor and a fine figure. She wore a dark blue dress embroidered with delicate floral patterns and a golden belt around her waist, adding to her dignified elegance. Her face was kind and gentle, her eyes filled with love and care for her family.

Wu Li looked at Xiao Wanru and Lan, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

No matter what, when Wuli's biological mother died and she was bullied and oppressed by Madam Liu, it was this Lan family who secretly sent food and daily necessities to her from time to time.

Regardless of the other party's original purpose, he did help the original owner a lot, and he still respected the Lan family.

As for her daughter Xiao Wanru, she is a complete white lotus, and is very good at being sarcastic and weird, so Wu Li doesn't like her.

"That's fine, my lord, please." Prince Rong said.

Xiao Cele nodded slightly and helped Wu Li walk towards the dining room.

After everyone took their seats, Xiao Rouer sat down on Xiao Cele's right hand side with a flattering smile on her face.

When the others saw this, they pretended not to see it and secretly speculated about her intentions.

However, Wu Li had already seen through their thoughts. She gave Xiao Cele a sharp look, reminding him to be careful.

"My Lord, please try these. They are made by Rouer herself." Xiao Rouer's voice was so soft that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

Wu Li pretended not to see anything and ate his food in silence.

Xiao Zeller glanced at the dishes on the table. Each one was delicious, clearly a lot of thought had gone into their preparation. He picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, and savored it carefully.

"It tastes good." Xiao Cele praised casually.

Xiao Rouer's face immediately lit up with joy when she heard this. "Thank you for the compliment, Lord Marquis. I still have a lot of shortcomings, and I will definitely work harder in the future."

Wu Li laughed secretly in his heart. This Xiao Rouer was really good at showing courtesy. However, her cooking skills were indeed good. It seemed that she had put in a lot of effort.

During the meal, Xiao Rouer kept picking up food for Xiao Cele and joked with him from time to time, trying to get his attention.

However, Xiao Cele's gaze always stayed on Wu Li, and he ignored Xiao Rouer's kindness.

"My Lord, what do you think of my sister?" Wu Li put down his chopsticks, wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, then picked up the teacup and took a sip, asking casually.

Hearing this, Xiao Cele looked up at Xiao Rouer, then turned to look at Wu Li, his expression unchanged, and said in a light tone: "Not bad."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Marquis!" Xiao Rouer was so excited that a blush immediately appeared on her face. She was secretly delighted in her heart and quickly stood up and bowed to Xiao Cele.

She couldn't help but cast a grateful look at Wu Li. She knew that this was Wu Li's promise to help her marry into the Marquis' Mansion. This Xiao Wu Li really kept his word. Thinking of this, Xiao Rou'er became more and more excited.

"My sister is not married yet." Wu Li continued.

The smile on Xiao Rouer's face deepened a little, and even Prince Rong and Madam Liu were smiling happily.

"Yes, Wanru has already found a boyfriend, and it's time for Rouer to start looking for one." Lan said with a smile.

Xiao Cele looked at Xiao Rou'er, then at Wu Li, and suddenly smiled, "In that case, I do know quite a few young talents and can introduce a few to the Second Miss."

Prince Rong and Madam Liu looked at each other, and both of them smiled with satisfaction.

"Then there's no need to trouble the Marquis. The prince and I are already looking for someone for Rouer." Madam Liu said with a smile.

"Yes, there's no need to rush." ​​Prince Rong agreed. His goal was to marry Xiao Rou'er to Marquis Xiao as his concubine.

"In my opinion, it would be better for my sister to marry the Marquis together with us, so that we two sisters can have someone to take care of each other." Wu Li said to Xiao Cele with a smile, her eyes full of teasing.

Xiao Rouer also looked at Xiao Cele with anticipation.

"Don't be silly. You and I just got married, how can you make such a joke?" Xiao Xiao Cele lowered his voice and deliberately scolded.

Wu Li laughed secretly in his heart. This Xiao Cele really knew how to play Tai Chi. He neither directly refused nor agreed.

"Yes, Li'er, you just got married, how can you say such things? It's my fault for not disciplining you properly." Prince Rong laughed loudly and pretended to be cheerful.

Xiao Rou'er looked disappointed, but she didn't say anything. Lan, on the other hand, looked back and forth between Wu Li and Xiao Rou'er.

After dinner, Xiao Cele and Wu Li left the prime minister's residence.

In the carriage, Xiao Cele looked at Wu Li and said with a half-smile, "Madam, are you taking a concubine for this marquis?"

Wu Li rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm just helping her. You're going to take a concubine sooner or later anyway, so why not choose one you're familiar with?"

Xiao Cele stretched out his hand and pulled Wu into his arms, "This Marquis only wants one wife."

Wu Li pushed him away and said, "You'd better save this to deceive others."

Xiao Zeller sighed helplessly, "Why don't you believe me, Madam?"

"A man's mouth is a lie." Wu Li said.

Xiao Cele smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, Madam. I swear to heaven that I will only love you in this life."
