When Haoyue saw both of them apologizing to her, she couldn't help it if she didn't say something. She could only respond: "It's okay, you two elders don't have to be like this. Li Shixia and I met at Chaoyang Academy, although we were a little unhappy at that time.

But after all, we are still classmates."

After answering Old Mrs. Li's questions and explaining her relationship with Li Shixia, Haoyue reached out and motioned for Mr. Li to sit down. After all, he was standing with his waist bent like this and the height was different, so it was difficult for her to talk to him.

Seeing that Mr. Li obeyed his gesture and sat down, he continued: "You guys haven't eaten the food on this table. They must have eaten before going out. That's fine, I don't either.

I'm forcing myself on you. Next, let's talk about business!" After Haoyue said this, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip to calm his throat.

And she didn't notice that after hearing what she said, Mr. Li opened and closed his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it. It wasn't the 'business' that Haoyue said next that stopped him.

What he said was because he thought about it and really didn’t know how to say it.

How could he tell Shopkeeper Wang that they didn't eat before, not because they were not hungry, nor because the food was not to their liking as shown by Shopkeeper Wang's appearance. But, the moment Shopkeeper Wang took off his veil, they saw

I was stunned!

This, this, if you say this, your face will fall to the ground. Moreover, he and the old man are both very old. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing to look at a little girl's face? If this is said,

How can the Li family gain a foothold in Zigui County in the future?

Therefore, Mr. Li can only choose not to explain. The misunderstood reason is better than the real reason!

Haoyue didn't know these thoughts in Mr. Li's mind. After drinking tea, he just talked about business. "Today, I invite a few of you to come over. I have something to discuss with you."

Mrs. Li nodded and responded: "Shopkeeper Wang, please tell me."

They had been mentally prepared for a long time. They knew that shopkeeper Wang would not invite them, the unrelated Li family, to have a banquet for no reason. There must be something going on. Now, when they finally wanted to talk about it, Mr. Li held his breath.

If you are alert and listen attentively, you can cope with every situation.

"It's like this. I learned something today, that is, your Li family has a marriage contract with our Zigui County Magistrate Zhao. It is the marriage contract between the second young master Li and the daughter of County Magistrate Zhao. Is there such a thing?

"After Haoyue asked quietly, he carefully observed the expressions of the three people.

But after seeing the three of them look at each other for a few times, their eyebrows were full of doubts, as if they didn't know what was going on.

After waiting for a moment, the three people made eye contact, and Mr. Li answered, "Shopkeeper Wang, I'm sorry to say this bluntly, but I don't know where you heard this news? We, we didn't know! Our second son is indeed

She is not married, but she has never been married to County Magistrate Zhao. Where did this news come from?"

Haoyue raised her eyebrows. If she understood correctly, it meant that the person in charge of the Li family did not know about the marriage between Young Master Li and Yanran?

It can't be said that Haoyue didn't believe Mr. Li's words, but Magistrate Zhao shouldn't have lied to her. She could clearly see the regretful look on Magistrate Zhao's face at that time, and it didn't look like he had deliberately made up an excuse to reject her proposal.

.

However, Haoyue looked at Li Shixia again, and the boy's eyes were full of doubts. She still knew who Li Shixia was. He had been in a good family since he was a child, and he was used to being domineering, so he was a bit stupid. He was not as smart as the other two people in his family.
