Chapter 36 Commitment
Li Jianrang very solemnly apologized to his younger sister Li Chujun on behalf of his sister.
It is true that Li Chujun's words and deeds were inappropriate, too rude, and she was also suspected of being ungrateful. But this was because she was deceived and deceived by others, and she misunderstood the character of her stepmother Chen and her younger sister Li Lijun, which led to such a serious crime.
Wrong. She is not an unreasonable and bad child at heart.
Li Jianrang hopes to make his sister realize the truth, and believes that she will wake up sooner or later. They and Li Lijun are biological siblings from the same father, and both have lost their mothers. It can be said that they share the same illness, and they should support each other and respect each other in the future.
Love is.
Li Lijun did not comment on Li Jianrang's statement. Although she accepted her brother's apology, she also said bluntly: "The eldest sister will not believe my brother's words so easily. She still believes that Mrs. Yang is the most reliable relative. The brother wants
It may be a long way to go to convince her. If the brother is really determined, it is better to check whether the people serving around her are still loyal. If the eldest sister has loyal servants who are truly bright-eyed and able to give advice, she will not
You are always easily fooled. Otherwise, even if the eldest sister believes your brother's words for a moment, when people around her slander you, she will forget your words again."
Li Jianrang was convinced. He was secretly annoyed that he had never thought of this! Looking back, he would have to discuss it with his grandfather, King Sui, and his grandmother, Mrs. Yang. Many of the people serving around his sister Li Chujun had been with them for many years.
He is already a veteran, and if there is a sudden change of people, I am afraid that my sister will feel very unaccustomed to her life, and she will have to provide reliable and caring manpower at the same time. In this regard, he has no choice but to ask his elders for help.
Li Jianrang's attendant walked into the mourning hall softly and called him: "Da Lang, there are some distinguished guests who have come to offer incense. The successor king asked you to go and see them."
Li Jianrang nodded, turned to Li Lijun and said: "Fourth sister, you are still injured and need more rest. Don't stay in the mourning hall for too long. There is a brother here. I have already told Aweng that Princess Si's
I will take care of all the funeral affairs and things that should be done by a filial son. Aweng agreed, and Aye... did not object."
Li Lijun was really surprised this time: "Brother, are you serious about what you said?!" Li Jianrang was the eldest son of his first wife, so he was willing to throw a basin for his stepmother? When the successor Wang Yuanfei, the Yang family, passed away, the Sui king was worried about Li Jianrang because of Li Jianrang.
He was young and sick, and refused to let him suffer, so he gave the job of being a filial son to a grandson of his brother Ning Wang. Li Lijun originally thought that her father Li Dai would let Li Wenliang, the fourth son of the young Yang family, be the filial son of the Chen family.
I still felt a little disgusted in my heart, so I planned to think of a way to persuade Princess Dou and use one of the second uncle's two sons to come forward. I never expected that Li Jianrang would recommend himself.
If Li Jianrang can take on the important responsibility of a filial son, Li Lijun will naturally be happy. Not because he is the eldest son and his status is noble enough, but because he can distinguish right from wrong and know how to be grateful. Regarding what he just said, Li Lijun believes
His own mother, Mrs. Chen, was also willing to have such a son.
But she still had some concerns: "Aweng agreed? Is Aye also willing? Do Mrs. Yang and her sons know about my brother's plan?"
Li Jianrang was silent for a moment: "Aweng agreed, and Aye did not object. Grandma was worried that my body would not be able to hold on, so she thought it would be good to let the fourth brother come forward. I think... Princess Si saved my life. In terms of etiquette,
In fairness, I should repay him. After my grandmother heard this, she no longer objected."
Li Lijun raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's good that brother came forward. I would like to thank you for this. Logically speaking, brother should show his face in front of others from time to time to let the world know that you are Aye's eldest son and that you are knowledgeable.
Etiquette, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness are also very good among the children of the clan. Otherwise, you will always be at home to recuperate. When outsiders mention you, they will say that you are weak and unable to bear the big responsibility. If the saint wants to use the heir of the Sui Palace one day, who will
Will you mention your brother?"
Li Jianrang heard something in her words and took a deep look at her. The attendant was already urging her, so he said nothing more, leaving only one sentence: "Fourth sister is taking a good rest. I will see you when I have time for my brother."
Turned around and left.
Li Lijun watched his figure disappear outside the mourning hall door, then withdrew her gaze and sat quietly on her knees.
Li Huijun came over again. She had just stepped back obediently to watch the show, which was really eye-opening in her heart. She never expected that Li Chujun's willful temper would dare to break out in an occasion like today, let alone Li Jianrang.
There will be times when the direct siblings and Li Chujun quarrel. After listening to the conversation between Li Jianrang and Li Lijun, she seemed to have guessed some secrets.
She couldn't hold it any longer. Seeing that there was no one else around, she came up and asked Li Lijun: "Fourth sister, what you said to the eldest sister just now...does it mean that Mrs. Yang has ill intentions towards them? You are so brave! You actually do that.
Do you really dare to speak out? Aren't you afraid that your eldest sister will complain to your eldest uncle?" Li Lijun had suffered this kind of loss many times when she was a child, so she never refuted Li Chujun in recent years, and she couldn't hold back her anger no matter how much the latter scolded her.
, turned around and left when she couldn't bear it. Li Huijun couldn't stand it several times, but she didn't expect that the fourth sister still had a temper.
Li Lijun smiled and said: "Even if the eldest sister complains to Aye, it's hard to say whether Aye will scold me for this. Madam Yang is confusing right and wrong in front of the eldest sister, and Aye must admit it. Such an obvious lie,
After listening to this, Aye will only think that Madam Yang is troublesome. He wants to cover up for his concubine, but she refuses to appreciate it, and wants to cause trouble for him. Do you think he will be angry? "
Li Huijun blinked: "Fourth sister, I haven't seen you for a day, you have changed a lot. You would not have said such words before."
Li Lijun sneered: "What's the use of me being a well-behaved and submissive little lady? The sister I thought I was close to opened her mouth to scold my biological mother, and raised her hand to push me down the mountain and kill me. I finally came back alive, dear
But my father favors my enemies and refuses to make decisions for me. If I am still as weak and tolerant as before, my life will not be saved. I want to live, so what’s the big deal if I change my personality?!"
Li Huijun listened silently and sighed: "You are right."
She looked in the direction of the side room: "I don't understand, what kind of stepmother does the eldest sister want? What's wrong with a stepmother like my grandma and your grandma? I won't harm her, but I'll also treat her well.
He Qi never lacked anything from her, but she was not satisfied in her heart and wished they would die! I grew up without a mother, and many people advised my father to remarry as soon as possible. If he married someone like my grandma and uncle,
I am willing to respect such a virtuous stepmother. My father needs someone to take care of him, not only for food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also for other things that neither Lady Wu nor her maids can do..."
Li Lijun said softly: "I heard that the princess intends to marry the daughter of Lin Guogong's family for the third uncle. Yesterday, Mrs. Lin Guogong came to our palace. I don't know what kind of person that lady from the Lin family is. The second sister might as well ask the princess in private.
Ask around?"
"Really?" Li Huijun immediately sat up straight, "I only heard that... the Lin family intends to marry their daughter to our palace, but I thought it was the uncle!"
Li Lijun shook his head: "My mother died just a few days ago. The Duke of Lin is a reputable family, so why would he come to discuss marriage at this time? Besides, the princess will never interfere in my Aye's marriage. She will care about it, of course it's the three of them.
Uncle’s marriage.”
Li Huijun couldn't sit still: "Then let me go and ask?" After saying that, he stood up and walked directly outside the mourning hall.
