As Chu Huan spoke, she started to sob quietly, and her pitiful appearance imdiately tugged at Li Xinya’s heartstrings. After all, she and Chu Huan had grown up together, with over ten years of friendship; how could she bear to see her good friend upset?
"Sister Huan, don’t cry! Rest assured, I’m on your side, and I definitely support you in becoming my Saozi. Who does Gu Nianyang think she is!"
"Really? Xinya, you must help . I only have you now. If even you don’t help , I’m really done for!"
Although Chu Huan had always looked down on Li Xinya as a fool, who else but her could help? She was Li Tingyan’s only sister.
"I won’t leave you hanging, for sure! You have no idea how much I want you to beco my Saozi. It’s all because of Gu Nianyang that I’ve been scolded by my brother. If she becos my Saozi, with my brother’s tendency to forget his sister after marrying, my future will surely be miserable!"
Li Xinya said angrily, then held Chu Huan’s hand.
"And Sister Huan, don’t worry. Gu Nianyang is ssing things up herself. By tomorrow, she’ll definitely be kicked out, and then you’ll have your chance!"
"What do you an?"
Li Xinya told her brother’s words about Nianyang studying Chinese dicine and helping Zhang Yun with his illness in detail, and then grumbled, "I think my brother is just trying to get the family to quickly accept Gu Nianyang. That’s why he told such an outrageous lie, even having Gu Nianyang prepare a dicinal al for Saozi. I saw Gu Nianyang had already started cooking when I left. You know you can’t just prescribe Chinese herbs like that. Sister Huan, you just wait for her to kill the Li family’s little grandson with her concoction and be locked up. Once she has a stain on her record, she can’t marry my brother, right!"
Chu Huan’s eyes suddenly lit up, feeling she saw hope for her life.
After chatting a little more with Li Xinya, she quickly went back to her room.
Upon entering, Chu Huan went to the living room with red eyes to complain to Yunrou.
"Mom, Brother Tingyan has found another woman and plans to break your and Aunt Li’s agreent not to marry !"
Yunrou quickly pulled Chu Huan into her arms, "Little Huan, don’t cry, don’t cry, tell clearly, what do you an Li Tingyan found another woman? When did this happen?"
"Just today, I went to the Big Courtyard entrance to et him, and saw him holding hands with another woman. He said he wouldn’t marry but would marry her. Mom, you know I’ve waited for Brother Tingyan for so many years; I just want to marry him. But he doesn’t want . What should I do?"
Yunrou sighed, "Little Huan, love requires mutual feelings. Since Li Tingyan has found the girl he loves, you shouldn’t be fixated on him!"
Chu Huan pushed Yunrou away, "Mom, how can you say that? Shouldn’t you be thinking of ways to help marry Brother Tingyan now?
Has all my past devotion been in vain?"
"Li Tingyan doesn’t have feelings for you. What can I do as your mom?"
"You are the City Lord’s Wife! You can talk to Dad, and then go negotiate with the Li Family, making Brother Tingyan marry !"
"Little Huan, it’s not ancient tis now. Neither your dad nor I are the Emperor; we can’t issue an edict forcing soone to marry you!
Plus, your dad has only been the City Lord for a few years, without stable roots, and can’t make such rude moves!"
"Then there’s Grandpa!" Chu Huan said urgently, "Isn’t Grandpa a city lord for decades? Grandpa has even more prestige!"
