Transmigrating to a Female-Dominated World: Pampering My Little Husband
Chapter 90: Exchange of Tokens
Lord Li's eyes darted around, a figure flashed in his mind, and he suddenly spoke.
"My lady... the Liu family lady who previously had feelings for Chan'er, named Liu Jingyao."
The accident that happened to Chan'er that day was also partly her responsibility.
She likes our Chan'er, so she's definitely willing to marry him.
Liu Jingyao has expressed her affection for Chan'er on multiple occasions, and it is said that she is also quite knowledgeable.
Getting third place in the county exam is not bad.
Aside from their poor family background, it's quite suitable! If he passes the imperial examinations in the future, then his son won't have to suffer along with him, which is truly killing two birds with one stone.
When Li Chan saw his father mention Liu Jingyao, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly said, "Yes, yes, Mother, I'm willing to marry Sister Jingyao!"
Li Haiyan glanced at him, her face full of anger, but she could see Li Chan's disheveled appearance!
In the end, he couldn't bear it; after all, it was his beloved son since childhood.
She couldn't just stand by and watch someone suffer.
She originally planned to personally select a suitable spouse for her son from among the students participating in this scientific expedition, based on her own judgment.
She frowned slightly upon hearing Liu Jingyao's name. She had met Liu Jingyao a few times and had a gut feeling that she was close to her son.
I'm afraid she has ulterior motives, but now that her son has gotten into this mess, marriage is also difficult.
Now it seems like a good choice. After all, I am the county magistrate, and I don't think she can cause any trouble.
That's what I think, but I still need to find some time to ask.
His expression gradually softened, and Lord Li felt reassured.
He came to Li Haiyan's side and said, "My lady, for a family like ours..."
I imagine Lady Liu wouldn't say anything.
"Perhaps the wife should talk to her; if they can be reunited, it would be a win-win situation."
Li Haiyan remained indifferent, but her tone softened somewhat as she sighed.
"Now that Chan'er's matter has become the talk of the town, do you think she doesn't know about it?"
We both think this is feasible, but whether Lady Liu is willing is still unknown.
After much deliberation, he still had some concerns, but to his surprise, Li Chan spoke with great conviction.
"Sister Jingyao will definitely marry me, she definitely will!"
Li Haiyan glared angrily and said, "Hmph, you better stay in the woodshed and reflect on your actions."
You don't need to worry about anything else! If Liu Jingyao is willing to marry you, then you just stay home and wait to get married.
"If you refuse, you'd better go back to Jingzhou obediently, or else you'll be handed a white silk noose."
For a moment, Li Chan was so frightened that he dared not utter a sound, and could only silently pray that Sister Jingyao would agree to marry him!
Lord Li quickly stepped forward to comfort Li Haiyan, saying, "Don't worry, my wife, I will take good care of Chan'er!"
"I'll wait for news from my wife. If it doesn't work out, I'll personally escort him back to Jingzhou and leave her alone!"
Lord Li's words were sincere, and Li Haiyan's mood finally improved.
He glanced at Li Chan, then flicked his sleeves and strode away!
After Li Haiyan walked away, Lord Li gently persuaded Li Chan.
"Chan'er, just behave yourself these days. Your mother still cares about you!"
If a son commits such a grave mistake, a wealthy family would have long ago disregarded it and beaten him to death to prove the family's innocence!
Li Chan was only imprisoned, which shows that the mistress showed him mercy!
Li Chan sobbed and leaned against the window, nodding slowly, "Yes, Daddy, I know! I'll behave!"
He's waiting for Sister Jingyao to come and marry him. Sister Jingyao will definitely come!
Liu Jingyao was invited to the main hall of the Li residence, where the steward respectfully served her tea.
"Please wait here patiently, Lady Liu. Our master will be here shortly."
She then turned and left. She had been there several times before, but this was the first time she had seen the Li family steward treat her with such respect.
Liu Jingyao trampled on Han Zixuan and Zhuang Xinyan's feet in order to pass the imperial examination!
He studied diligently until late at night every day and went to school early in the morning, never slacking off for a single day.
He knew that if he wanted to marry Li Chan, she would definitely need to have official rank and title.
Magistrate Li would also think highly of her and would be able to give her some support.
Today, Magistrate Li was indeed completely baffled when he summoned her in such a hurry.
Soon, Li Haiyan walked in from outside with a smile on her face.
Seeing Liu Jingyao's refined and amiable demeanor, he nodded to himself, "Hehe, Ms. Liu, I've kept you waiting. I've been dealing with some matters for a while now."
Please forgive my rudeness, Miss Liu!
Liu Jingyao hurriedly waved her hand, "Not at all! Your Excellency is an official, and must be very busy."
The students just arrived!
After exchanging pleasantries, the two sat down, and Li Haiyan subtly inquired about Liu Jingyao's family situation.
This made Liu Jingyao think about something; Magistrate Li seemed rather unusual today.
However, she didn't dare to hide anything too much and told the truth! But she did hide the fact about her younger brother, Liu Ning!
Liu Ning was married off by her mother to an old woman from the same village as a second wife.
This was the most shameful thing in their family's history, but she glossed over it!
Li Haiyan didn't ask any more questions, just nodded silently, and smiled as she spoke, saying that her family background was relatively clean.
Getting to the point, "Miss Liu is not young anymore, is she already married?"
Liu Jingyao raised her eyes slightly and saw Li Haiyan casually picking up a teacup and drinking tea.
"My daughter is focused on her studies and there is no engagement in her family!"
Li Haiyan raised her lips slightly and said lightly, "Hehe, Lady Liu, my son Li Chan helped me before."
I have always kept this in mind, and now that Chan'er is of marriageable age, it is time for her to get married.
My master has been asking me to help find a wife for Chan'er!
This official is also at his wit's end... Lady Liu is at Zhiyuan Academy. Are there any ladies you think are good enough to recommend?
He looked at Liu Jingyao with a smile, his gaze sincere.
Liu Jingyao's eyes flickered slightly, her heart filled with a myriad of emotions, as she met Li Haiyan's gaze.
With a determined heart, she lifted her skirt and knelt down in front of Li Haiyan.
Looking at Li Haiyan with sincere emotion, he said, "Lord Li, I...I have long admired your son and wish to marry Chan'er as my master. I hope you will grant my request!"
"I will cherish Chan'er with all my heart from now on!"
Li Haiyan slowly put down the cup in her hand and burst into laughter.
"Haha, is what Lady Liu said true?"
"If any student lies, may they be struck by lightning!" Liu Jingyao raised her hand and swore an oath to make her words seem true!
To show his determination, seeing Liu Jingyao's sincerity!
Li Chan was also relieved and happy, and said, "Good! Since you sincerely want to marry me, I am very satisfied with you!"
I hereby arrange your marriage with Chan'er today!
"I've accepted you as my daughter-in-law, haha!"
Liu Jingyao was overjoyed and excitedly kowtowed several times to Li Haiyan.
"Don't worry, sir!"
Li Haiyan nodded in satisfaction and took a piece of emerald green jade pendant from her waist!
With a solemn expression, he said, "This is my personal jade pendant!"
Let this serve as a token of your marriage agreement with Chan'er!
Liu Jingyao carefully took it and quickly searched her body for any jewelry that could serve as a token!
Finally, she took off the jade pendant from her waist, which her mother had given her after she finished the county examination!
They said they saw that even female rulers of certain status had such things, and they didn't want her to appear too shabby.
She bought it for twenty taels of silver; it wasn't very good, but she always carried it with her.
Compared to Li Haiyan's jade, the jade pendant in her hand looked like a piece of stone.
She blushed instantly, hesitating to look at Li Haiyan's face!
Li Haiyan noticed her embarrassment and smiled faintly, "It's just a token, it's nothing!"
As he spoke, he took the jade pendant of extremely poor quality from Liu Jingyao's hand!
"In that case, the marriage between our two families is settled! Your examination is imminent, so it's better to get married sooner rather than later so as not to delay your studies."
I think the end of this month will be quite good. What do you think?
