Female special forces soldiers in ancient times

After having breakfast and resting for a while, Li Tingting went out with Chunmei and a group of servants.

She first went to the bustling streets of the capital and carefully selected some gifts.

She selected an exquisite silk scarf for Mrs. Lin; its delicate texture and elegant pattern...

Li Tingting looked at the pattern and color, still feeling somewhat uneasy, worried that Madam Lin might not like it.

But after searching for a long time, she couldn't find anything better and had to give up.

Afterwards, a precious ancient book was prepared for my second uncle.

My second uncle is a civil servant, so he must love literature, right?

Never mind, let's give it a try!

Then I bought some snacks for my second uncle's younger brothers and sisters.

After preparing the gifts, Li Tingting headed to Li Zhong's house.

As soon as she entered the door, she heard the joyful voices of the servants in the mansion.

"The Missy is back! The Missy is back!"

The voices were filled with joy and excitement as they shouted.

He ran towards the mansion to inform Madam Lin.

Knowing that the mistress doted on Li Tingting too much, the servants in the manor dared not say anything.

"The young lady has come to visit" or "The young lady has arrived."

If they said that, their servants would definitely get a good scolding.

Li Tingting strode into the house, where she saw Madam Lin smiling as she came to greet her.

Mrs. Lin held Li Tingting's hand with a happy expression, her eyes full of affection.

"Tingting, why did you come so early? Were you tired from the journey?"

Li Tingting smiled and shook her head, "Second Aunt, I'm not tired. I bought some small gifts on the way."

I hope you won't find this objectionable, Aunt.

"You silly child, you come all this way, why buy anything? We don't need anything at home."

Why are you wasting money? Do you think your second aunt wouldn't like what you bought?

Upon hearing this, Madam Lin was taken aback at first, then feigned anger and began to scold him.

Whether it's a gift or not isn't important to her; as long as Li Tingting shows filial piety, that's enough.

After saying this, Madam Lin quickly pulled Li Tingting down to sit and asked her with concern,

"By the way! Tingting, did you go to your third uncle's house?"

After Li Tingting sat down next to her, she shook her head and responded softly.

"Oh, not yet. I was planning to come see you first."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lin smiled and said, "Alright then! Let's have lunch at home first."

"Rest for a while, and I'll go with you to your third uncle's house this afternoon."

At noon, the table was laden with a sumptuous spread of dishes, all of which were Li Tingting's favorite foods.

Li Tingting's second uncle, Li Zhong, was notified by his servants to return home after the morning court session.

They say the young lady is back.

The family sat together eating lunch, their laughter filling the air.

Li Zhong's family had prepared a private room specifically for Li Tingting.

After lunch, she and Chunmei went back to their room to rest and take a nap.

......

At Li Xiang's home in Beijing.

When Li Xiang's wife, Mrs. Liang, saw Li Tingting and Mrs. Lin coming over for a visit...

He immediately beamed with joy.

Like Mrs. Lin, she kept complaining that Li Tingting was wasting money on random purchases.

"Oh dear! Tingting, why are you wasting money?"

Uncle's family doesn't need much, so don't buy anything unnecessary next time you come over.

Why waste this money?

While Madam Liang said this, she was secretly just as delighted.

Li Tingting's filial piety towards them is admirable, especially considering she is an elder.

Who wouldn't be happy?

Mrs. Lin, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward and nodded in agreement.

"That's right, I just scolded her at noon."

Third sister-in-law, don't say anything to her. It's rare for Tingting to have such a kind heart, haha.

So, after Li Tingting sat down with her two aunts, they chatted happily and laughed continuously.

Mrs. Liang's two younger siblings were playing and fighting on the side.

The whole family was in a very warm and harmonious scene.

Just as they were having a pleasant conversation, several servants from Li Tingting's residence suddenly barged in.

"Miss, Miss, something terrible has happened!"

A messenger from Wu Zhongshu's household came and said they wanted to annul the engagement.

Li Tingting looked blank after hearing this, and had not yet reacted.

The key point is that she forgot to ask Chunmei if she was engaged.

All she knew was that this body of hers was seventeen years old this year.

Actually, Li Tingting originally planned to get married this year.

But then her father passed away.

According to ancient customs, she had to observe a three-year mourning period after her father's death before she could get married.

So when she heard the news, she was completely taken aback.

When Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Liang saw that Li Tingting looked completely bewildered,

They immediately assumed she was upset, even though the family had been having a nice chat.

This sudden, annoying thing is incredibly disappointing.

Moreover, they were furious that Li Tingting had suffered such a great injustice, and the two of them immediately refused to accept it.

Mrs. Lin's eyes widened in disbelief.

Her chest heaved violently, as if a fire of anger was burning within her.

She stood up abruptly, her hands trembling with anger.

He shouted excitedly, "This is absolutely lawless!"

What is it about my Tingting that makes her unworthy of the Wu family?

Her voice was sharp and trembling, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"Our Tingting is beautiful and has a good family background."

"Bah! What right does the Wu family have to look down on Tingting? What right do they have to annul the engagement?"

Li Tingting was the apple of her eye, and to see her suffer such injustice was unbearable.

How could Madam Lin tolerate such humiliation? She was so agitated that she almost overturned the table next to her.

Li Zhong's wife, Madam Liang, was not as excited as Madam Lin.

But his face was so gloomy it seemed to drip water.

He clenched his teeth, his jaw muscles tensing tightly.

She took a deep breath, trying hard to suppress the anger inside her.

The voice was squeezed out through clenched teeth: "Second sister-in-law, don't upset yourself."

The Wu family is going too far. Do they really think our Li family is easy to bully?

The Wu family and our Li family are both prominent families on equal footing in the capital.

What's so great about it? If anyone should break off the engagement, it should be us!

Hmph, Tingting is the apple of our Li family's eye, aren't they satisfied yet?

"Let's go, let's go find the Wu family and settle this score, we'll get justice!"

At this moment, her hands were gripping the hem of her clothes tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force.

Even Chunmei, who was standing to the side, started cursing angrily.

"Those Wu family members are truly shameless; they've done it several times..."

Wu Zha Nan, the eldest son of the Wu family, even secretly came to borrow money from the young lady several times.

This time, they've declared they want to call off the engagement without even asking what happened; it's utterly heartless and ungrateful.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lin's son, Li Qing, was filled with rage.

He immediately burst into a tirade: "Well, Wu Zha Nan, you dare to cheat my eldest sister out of her money!"
