Chapter 793: Insufficient Greed

"What should I do?" Su Ping was worried.

"Don't worry, the Fourth Master is not a fool. What does the Second Master say? What is it?"

Besides, she was confident that Chu Li would not scold her for the second wife.

Xi Feng was not worried at all. She sat lazily in front of the dressing table, allowing Su Xin to help her tie her bun. Su Ping found two teams of jade hairpins in the jewelry box, handed them to Su Xin, and inserted them into the newly tied bun.

Su Ran brought a pot of freshly brewed tea and said, "Madam, the second master is gone. Xiao Huzi said that his face was not good when he left, and he seemed to have a quarrel with the fourth master."

Su Ping immediately responded, "It must be the Fourth Master protecting his wife, and the Second Master was angry and left if he couldn't stand it."

"No, little... Fourth Master." Su Ran wanted to say something, but as soon as he spoke, he saw Chu Li strode in.

Several maids were busy bowing their bodies to salute.

Chu Li waved his hand and signaled several people to go out.

After only Xi Feng and him were left in the house, Chu Li told Xi Feng, "The second prince came just now. I think his official position has been in vain for nothing. He was driven by a wife and shamelessly asked me to go to the Huo family to be a lobbyist, and turned Afu into the legitimate wife of Master Huo. Tell me, Old Master Huo, is his mentor. When Afu talked about marriage, he did not mention this matter, and agreed to Afu as the concubine of Master Huo. Now, the couple regretted it, but asked me to be this shameless person. Why do he think I would listen to him?"

Chu Lilian was black and very angry.

Xi Feng picked up the teapot, poured him a glass of water, and comforted him, "He said that you don't listen. If he doesn't come forward to say this, he will make things difficult for the Huo family, what should he treat us as?"

"When the second sister-in-law and Afu joined forces to plot against Cousin Huo, Afu lost the qualification to be the next generation of clan wife of the Huo family. The Huo family is a first-class family in the capital, but they will not want a woman with misconduct to be the clan wife. The Huo family can agree to Cousin Huo to marry Afu as the concubine because of the second brother. If the second brother makes such a request, it would be greed."

Greed is insufficient, and snakes swallow elephants.

The outcome can be imagined.

Once the Chu family members go to talk to the Huo family, they are afraid that the Huo family will not agree and will attract the Huo family's disgust.

"Oh, the second prince is a little anxious." Chu Li gradually calmed down.

With his ability to get along well in the capital, Mr. Chu was able to climb to the position of a third-rank official, which was also a calculating person.

This time, Xi Tongfang became the heir of Marquis Ping'an, Xi Feng also became the granddaughter of Marquis Ping'an, Chu Li became the son-in-law of Marquis Ping'an, and the Chu family and the Marquis Ping'an mansion suddenly became in-laws, which made Chu Erye see a big tree larger than the Huo family as his backer.

Mr. Chu went to the door several times to curry favor with Marquis Ping'an, but he didn't see Marquis Ping'an because he was idle.

During this time, Hou Ping'an took Lu Tongfang and his son and Chu Li to a banquet to meet the families with their friends in the Lu family without having to rest.

I thought that after a while, when the Marquis of Ping'an rested, the Second Master Chu would have a chance.

However, this morning, Chu Ningfu returned to her parents' home and cried in front of Mr. Chu. She knelt down and begged Mr. Chu to help her become Mr. Huo's legitimate wife.
