The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Madam Li's legs became weak from anger, so Sanniang Kangning and Siniang Haode helped her into the inner room to rest.

When Wu Niang Le Shan saw the betrothal gift that Yang Xian put down, she became furious and called on Qiong Nu to throw the things out together, but was stopped by her eldest lady Li Shouhua.

"Move your stuff into the house."

"Sister, why did you move into the house? Do you really want to accept Yang Xian's betrothal gift?" Wu Niang Le Shan asked puzzledly.

"If you throw the things away, Yang Xianlai will say that we have already accepted the betrothal gifts and tacitly agreed to the marriage, which will cause more trouble." Aunt Li Shouhua explained.

"Wouldn't it be the same if we kept the betrothal gifts?" Wu Niang Li Leshan muttered.

"We have to return it to Yang Xian in the future. If you lose it, what can we use to return it?" Aunt Li Shouhua held Fifth Sister's hand and said, "I have warned you many times not to act impulsively and to plan before acting. You forgot."

Wu Niang Li Leshan said angrily: "Sister, how can you still stay calm? People are bullying us."

Aunt Li Shouhua asked back: "What do you want to do? Beat him with a stick to vent your anger?"

Wu Niang Li Leshan knew that the disaster that befell the Li family today was all caused by her beating Yang Jiulang that day, and she suddenly felt a little ashamed.

"Sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have hit anyone in the first place."

"That's good to know." Aunt Li Shouhua took her sister's arm and said, "Since things have come to this, we can face it together as a family. Things won't get to that point."

Wu Niang Li Leshan nodded and said, "Yes, Yang Xian still wants to take a woman from our Li family as a concubine. We should just refuse directly. I don't believe that he dares to forcefully marry her."

Aunt Li Shouhua shook her head, still feeling that the fifth sister was young and too naive!

"Come in and see mother first." Aunt Li Shouhua pulled Le Shan into the house and handed the business of the front shop to Qiong Nu.

Madam Li had recovered by now and was cursing Yang Xian. Third Madam Li Kangning and Fourth Madam Li Haode were there to comfort her.

"Shouhua, you're here at the right time. Tell me how we should reject Yang Xian's betrothal gift!" Madam Li asked immediately when she saw her eldest daughter come in.

"Mom, Yang Xian is the emperor's uncle after all. We can't afford to offend him. If we want to return the betrothal gift, it will probably take some effort."

Madam Li said worriedly, "Kang Ning, you usually have the most ideas. How can we get through this disaster? Otherwise, I will ask Sister Kang for help?"

Sanniang Li Kangning shook her head and said disapprovingly, "Mother, I don't think we should bother Aunt Kang with this matter. We are about to get married. If we keep bothering Lord Wang and Aunt Kang, we will be looked down upon."

Madam Li also knew that this journey would be too much trouble for Wang Gang, but Yang Xian was in a high position and had great power. Compared with him, the Li family was like an ant trying to shake a tree!

"Mom, don't worry too much. We have been through this for so many years before we met Lord Wang." Aunt Li Shouhua said:
"Although Yang Xian's matter is troublesome, there is still a way to deal with it."

Madam Li's eyes lit up and she asked, "Shouhua, do you have an idea?"

Aunt Li Shouhua said: "Ever since I found out that my fifth sister beat up Yang Jiulang, I have been paying attention to the Yang family. Yang Xian himself is just an uneducated playboy. It was only because of his sister's admission into the palace that the Yang family rose to prominence and can barely be considered a royal relative."

Sanniang Li Kangning rolled her eyes and said, "The person who tied the bell must be the one who can untie it. Yang Xian is so arrogant because of his sister's influence. The person who can control him must be in the palace, right?"

Seeing that her third sister had understood what she meant, Aunt Li Shouhua smiled and said, "I know that Chai An has business dealings with the palace. He buys some new things from the world for the palace every month to make the harem ladies happy."

Sanniang Li Kangning said: "I will go to Chai An to ask when the palace will go out to buy."

Li Shouhua nodded, then looked at Wu Niang Leshan and said, "Xiao Wu, go and ask Yang Xian to meet at Panlou."

"Me!?" Li Leshan pointed at his nose in surprise.

"Just say you agree to his marriage proposal. He will definitely come to show off in front of you. What will you do then..." Li Shouhua whispered a few words in Li Leshan's ear. Li Leshan was a little confused at first, but slowly a smirk appeared on his face.

"Sister, your idea is really good. It won't kill Yang Xian." Li Leshan said with a smile.

"When the time comes, you have to act more realistically and control your temper so that Yang Xian doesn't notice anything." Aunt Li Shouhua said.

"I know." Li Leshan rubbed his hands together.

Sanniang Kang Ning was a little worried that Li Leshan might do something bad, so she suggested: "Let me go see Yang Xian!"

Aunt Shouhua shook her head and said, "Xiaowu must be asked to do this. If jade is not polished, it will not be useful. She caused the disaster, so naturally she must solve it."

Li Kangning no longer insisted and went directly to Panlou to ask Chai An for help.

Chai An was drinking with Wang Gang at this time. He had heard about what happened in Sifuzhai today and was a little worried, so he specially called Wang Gang over.

"Brother Yuankang, aren't you going to help the Li family this time?"

"It shouldn't be necessary for now." Wang Gang said with a smile: "Yang Xian has become smart this time. He knows how to use the concubine to disgust the Li family. Marriage is not under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture, and it is in accordance with etiquette and law, so it is not easy for me to interfere."

"You can still laugh. The mother and daughter of the Li family must be worried to death now." Chai An said restlessly.

"What's wrong with Mr. Chai today? Why is he so concerned about Miss Li and worried that Li Sanniang will marry into the Yang family as a concubine?" Wang Gang teased.

"Who's worried about her?" Chai An said hypocritically: "I just think that Yang Xian is too arrogant and annoying."

Wang Gang raised his lips slightly and continued to joke: "If the Li family wants to give a daughter to settle the matter, according to the order of age, they should give Li Sanniang."

Chai An was dissatisfied and said, "According to age, shouldn't it be Madam Li who should be chosen?"

Wang Gang laughed and said, "Mrs. Li has been married before, so Yang Xian may not accept her!"

Chai An couldn't sit still after hearing this and asked, "Brother Yuankang, how can you deal with Yang Xian?"

Wang Gang laughed and said: "Yang Xian is just a useless person, I don't take him seriously at all, the real trouble is the Concubine Yang in the palace.

Only by making Lady Yang fall out of favor can this matter be completely resolved!"

Chai An said worriedly: "This is difficult to deal with. Who can manage the affairs of the palace?"

Wang Gang smiled but said nothing. When Chai An was about to ask, the shopkeeper of Panlou came to report that Li Sanniang was looking for him.

Chai An did not dare to delay and hurried to see Li Sanniang, but soon returned.

"You've met Li Sanniang so soon? Didn't you take the opportunity to spend more time with her to ease your longing for her?" Wang Gang teased deliberately when he saw Chai An running back.

"Then Li Sanniang asked me when the noble lady in charge of purchasing goods in the palace would leave the palace, and then left?" Chai An told the truth.

Wang Gang laughed when he heard this and said, "It seems that the Li family already knows who the key to the problem is. I don't need to worry about Yang Xian!"

Chai An wondered, "What exactly are the Li family mother and daughter planning to do?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "You will know when the time comes. Why worry so much?"

Seeing Wang Gang's determined look, Chai An gradually calmed down. (End of this chapter)
