Female-dominated society: My husband is clingy and I can't shake him off

Su Yanli didn't know how to answer, so she simply didn't reply and just quietly felt her warmth.

The two were speechless for a moment.

Li Mo'er purified all the salt she bought and sent some of it to Er Gouzi.

After finishing everything, she quietly began to review her herbal medicine book.

She realized that she hadn't been this diligent when she was cramming for final exams in college, and she couldn't help but feel that college life seemed like a thing of the past.

She's been thinking a lot these past few days. Maybe she'll have to live here forever, so she still needs to make money.

My uncle and aunt cooked two dishes with the meat, and salted the rest.

When they returned, Li Mo'er insisted on leaving them a large piece of meat.

Finally, there were no more noodles on the table. Li Mo'er steamed some rice and served it with two dishes, which was quite a feast.

She didn't make the soy milk. On the one hand, she wanted to buy some salt to purify it the next day, and on the other hand, her family really didn't have any extra bowls.

There were only three decent bowls at the beginning. One was broken in the morning. The one she had in her hand was the one she had rinsed clean after evaporating the salt.

However, Su Yanli still felt nauseous from the smell of meat, so she only ate a few bites of rice and then stopped.

Li Mo'er noticed this and kept it in mind, thinking that he just had a poor appetite and that she would go to the market to buy some fruit or something the next day.

She secretly prepared what she needed to buy: fruit, salt, and some pots and pans.

She originally thought life was nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, and salt, so she only bought these things and never thought about pots, pans, and dishes.

The next morning, Li Mo'er got up early as usual, cooked noodles, and after eating, she called Li Lin to go to the market together.

Li Mo'er was dragging Li Lin around, looking for places that were hiring, so that if reselling herbs didn't work out, she would have a backup plan.

They hadn't walked far when someone stopped them.

"Excuse me, is this Madam Li?"

Li Mo'er and Li Lin looked at each other and shook their heads in tacit agreement.

As a child raised under the red flag, Li Mo'er naturally knew that she couldn't easily reveal her information to others.

Moreover, with so many people in Lijia Village, it's estimated that three out of ten people in this market are surnamed Li.

Just as the two were about to walk around, the man looked up, glanced at them, and then stepped forward and said something.

"Is your name Li Mo'er, madam? My master invites you."

As he spoke, he gestured for them to proceed.

This time it was Li Mo'er's turn to be confused. How did she know that she was Li Mo'er? Was she a debt collector?

She was all ready, prepared to take off running.

She didn't bring that much money with her when she went out today; last night she gave most of her silver to Su Yanli.

She kept her eyes fixed on the person in front of her, and as soon as he made a move, she grabbed Li Lin and ran.

"Who is your young master?"

Li Lin wasn't afraid. She knew the person in front of her wouldn't dare do anything, since she could easily beat him down.

Li Mo'er was stunned for a moment, then screamed inwardly.

Why ask? She won't recognize you anyway! It's better not to ask at all.

The man replied respectfully, "I am indeed the young master of the Shen family from Feihua Pavilion."

Li Mo'er was relieved and relaxed; it was someone she knew.

However, Li Lin pulled Li Mo'er back, saying, "Sister Mo'er, it must have been Young Master Shen who made you answer the 'finding a wife' question that day. We absolutely cannot go."

Ever since she learned that the man was the young master of the Shen family, she had a premonition that Mo'er was being targeted.

Li Mo'er didn't say anything. She followed Li Lin back, still thinking about why he had come looking for her.

She had considered what Er Gouzi said, but she felt it was unlikely.

After hesitating for a long time, she finally decided to go and see.

She turned around and saw that the person was still in the same place, looking at the window of Feihua Pavilion, gesturing anxiously.

She vaguely saw a figure, which did indeed resemble the young master Shen she had seen that day.

In the private room of Feihua Pavilion, Shen Ziche poured himself a cup of tea and savored it slowly. Although he was a little uneasy, he did not show it.

"Ah Cen, forget it, you can't force it."

Shen Zicen looked at her brother with dissatisfaction from the window. The search for a wife had been posted for three years, and they still hadn't found her.

People his age already have children, but he and his brother are still unmarried. He wasn't in a hurry to get married, but after hearing his brother mention Li Mo'er, he thought it wasn't a bad idea if it were her.

Moreover, she looks delicate and frail, but she's incredibly interesting.

Moreover, it was obvious that he was tempted; his hands were even trembling slightly.

He saw Li Mo'er looking in his direction, so he quickly pulled down the window and sat down opposite Shen Ziche.

"Brother, don't worry, Mo'er will definitely become our wife."

What my brother likes is what he likes.

Yesterday, after leaving the mansion, my brother stayed in Feihua Pavilion. He often sat in the private room, gazing at the poems in a daze, sometimes for half an hour at a time.

The three arrived at Feihua Pavilion and were about to go upstairs when Li Lin was stopped. "Madam, my master only invited Madam Li."

Li Lin's already reluctant mood reached its peak, and he pulled Li Mo'er to leave, saying, "Sister Mo'er, let's not go. What if you get bullied?"

If she can't go up, she won't be able to protect Sister Mo'er. Sister Mo'er is weak; how could she possibly defeat someone else?

Li Lin had never witnessed Mo'er's infuriating abilities before. If he had been present when she provoked Doctor Wang that day, he wouldn't be so worried now.

Li Mo'er knew that Er Gouzi was worried about her, so she patted her hand to reassure her.

"If anything happens, I'll shout for you, and you can come and save me."

She knew that since Young Master Shen had invited her here, nothing bad could possibly happen.

Seeing Li Mo'er's confident demeanor, Li Lin could only sit on the stool to the side and wait angrily.

"Boom boom boom——"

A knock came at the door, and Shen Zicen quickly hid behind the screen. In the process, she accidentally kicked a stool, but dared not cry out in pain and could only grit her teeth and bear it.

When Li Mo'er came in, she saw Shen Ziche sitting at the table and sat down without any politeness. She wasn't going to be polite, after all, he was the one who had deceived her first.

Shen Ziche looked at her puffed-up face and found it somewhat amusing. He didn't say anything, but simply poured her a cup of tea.

"Young Master Shen, there's no need for us to stand on ceremony. Just get to the point."

Li Mo'er took a sip of the tea in her cup. It was indeed a fine tea, with a mellow and fragrant taste, something she couldn't afford at the moment.

"Mo'er? May I call you that?"

Li Mo'er nodded. She didn't mind the titles, but why was he speaking in such a formal and literary way again?

"In that case, would Mo'er be willing to become my and A-Cen's wife?"

"puff--"

Before Li Mo'er could even swallow, she spat it out. She was genuinely shocked. How could they be so blunt?

Although she admitted that the man in front of her was indeed very attractive, she couldn't believe that he was so bold right from the start, and she only had a slight liking for him, not love.

Moreover, she has a husband at home, whom she is responsible for even though she didn't marry him.

“Young Master Shen, I already have a husband at home.”

She could only politely decline, after all, she really couldn't bring herself to directly refuse such an ethereal man.

"I know."

Shen Ziche answered calmly, then handed her a handkerchief.
