The weather is getting colder and colder. By the end of the New Year, Li has also started to get busy. Xu Shan’s marriage and Xu Jie’s marriage have already begun. It is expected that it will be decided after the New Year. This year’s New Year ceremony is particularly busy. Li took Xu Ting and Xu Ting so hard that he was busy. From Xu Ting and the Hailang, Li relied on Xu Ting more and more, and took her with her when dealing with all the affairs at home.

While sorting out the posts from various companies, Xu Ting didn't see Qi's posts. She looked it out again but still didn't see it. She couldn't help feeling uneasy. However, seeing that Li didn't seem to notice, she indirectly reminded her, "Is the gift given to Duke Rong this year the same as last year?"

Li looked up and thought for a moment and suddenly said, "You bring me the post from Duke Rong's Mansion to me. I'll see what they sent?"

Xu Ting pretended to look for it and said in surprise, "Huh? Why didn't you see it?"

Li was stunned and couldn't help but stand up and search for it himself. Sure enough, there was no one, and his brows frowned.

Xu Ting comforted him, "It's still early, maybe it will be delivered in two days. Besides, our family can also give gifts first!"

"No!" Li murmured, "It's almost the New Year. It has been delivered by this time in previous years, and every year, the Duke Rong's mansion sends gifts to our family for the gifts!"

Madam Wu, who was standing beside her, whispered, "The wife of the rumor outside a while ago must have known that Duke Rong's Mansion was afraid that it would be a banquet in the next year, and the New Year's gifts were simple!"

"It's not easy to save our family!" Li's brows became deeper. Since the Qixu family got engaged, even though they had few daily contacts, they have never stopped ceremonies during festivals. There have always been such etiquette in Qi's family. What's wrong with this year?

Li suddenly became anxious and asked subconsciously, "Where is Sister Shu?"

Madam Wu replied, "Miss Jiu is in her house. Two days ago, Princess Ji brought a box of cold and warm chess pieces. Miss Jiu asked the master again how many chess scores he asked for. The girls said that Miss Jiu has been playing chess scores with Xue these days!"

Li sighed, "Forget it! She doesn't know either! I'll go to my mother's place to ask!" He then told Xu Ting, "You check the gift list again to see if there is anything wrong!"

"Yes!" Xu Ting responded, and Li hurriedly changed his clothes and went up the room. When he arrived at the old lady, Wang asked her before he could ask about the Qi family. "What does the Han family mean? Why did there suddenly no news after a while?"

Li had to suppress his thoughts and answered the old lady first, "I have inquired about the Han family. Mr. Han is a honest and honest person, but Mrs. Han is a bit tricky! He also asked his familiar wife to inquire about the attitude of the Han family. The Han family was very willing to marry our family, but because Mrs. Han had gone to the Borussia Dominion to offend our family indiscriminately, she could not bear to ask for a marriage for a while!"

Wang nodded, "It's good to kill the Han family's majesty, but the Han family is very sensible and did not publicize this matter. After the Chinese New Year, I found an opportunity to meet outside. In this way, I could resolve the previous estrangement naturally and settle the marriage seriously!"

"The wife also thinks this way. It just so happens that the Chinese Lantern Festival is a good opportunity. Every household has to go out that day, so it wouldn't be too embarrassing to meet on the street!"

Wang asked again, "Brother Shan is over 20 years old. It's really unreasonable to not get married at this age!" Wang's words meant to hit Li.

Li pulled the corners of his mouth coldly, but his posture was still as conscientious as ever. "I have discussed with the master and chose a few suitable families. Taking advantage of the opportunity to give gifts during the New Year, I can also find out the other party's wishes. I can make a decision after the New Year!"

Since Xu Hui participated, Wang was relieved, "The Sixth Girl has been decided, what about the Seventh Girl?"

Then Li said, "The wife came here to discuss this matter with her mother!"

"What? Have you looked at me?" Wang was stunned. She knew what Li thought. She had been staring at the Qi family for so many years. Could it be that she suddenly changed her mind?

Li waved his hand and gave up his servant, "My mother knows the thoughts of his wife, so I won't hide it. I want to marry Tingjie'er into the Duke Rong's Mansion! Everyone knows Shujie'er's appearance. Qi'er will not be willing to marry her. Qi'er has been lukewarm for our family over the years. There is no need for our family to take the initiative to deliver it to the door to be humiliated even though they know Qi'er's thoughts! It would be better to let Tingjie'er replace Shujie'er. Tingjie'er is very polite and elegant. Qi'er can't find any mistakes. This not only completes a marriage, but also saves the two families from being guilty of resisting the imperial edict!"

"Then you are sure that Duke Rong's mansion is willing to let Sister Ting replace Sister Shu?" Wang narrowed his eyes and shot sharply from the cracks of his eyes at Li.

Li replied calmly, "The Qi family has no choice!"

"That's not necessarily!" Wang shook his head, his eyes still so sharp, "Don't forget that Qi family has a lame son!"

"Let Sister Shu'er match a cripple..."

Although this idea has risen countless times, it is fleeting. Only by marrying Xu Shu to Qi Peng and marrying Xu Ting to Qi Rui can the maximum benefit...

"What's wrong?" Wang's voice was calm and rational, "One is the legitimate son of the Qi family and the other is the legitimate daughter of the Xu family. This does not go against the original intention of the late emperor to give the marriage! Moreover, they are both incomplete and are considered a perfect match. Judging from the Qi family's family and the eldest son of Qi, it is difficult for the eldest son of Qi to have a good marriage, so it is most appropriate to let him fulfill the engagement!"

"But...but..." Li couldn't think of a reason to refute. Of course, deep down, she had compared two ways of fulfilling the engagement many times. From the Qi family's standpoint, it was obviously easier to accept Qi Peng's marriage to Xu Shu, but personally, she was more inclined to marry Xu Ting to Qi Rui. Xu Ting is Li's most beloved daughter. Of course, she had to give the best one, even if the best one was snatched from another daughter...

"You don't need to explain. I know what you think. From the Xu family's standpoint, it's the best result to let Qi Yat replace Jiu Yat!"

Wang's wise eyes have already seen through Li's selfishness, but the benefits brought by Xu Ting to marry Qi Rui are obviously greater than those of Xu Shu to marry Qi Peng. Therefore, although Li has selfishness, it is also the most beneficial to the Xu family. Wang turned a blind eye and could only sacrifice Xu Shu for the sake of the family's interests.
