Counterattack of the Cannon Fodder Chambermaid

Untitled Part 129

Xiao Hua's face immediately darkened when the Jing Prince had someone send the list of names to the western pavilion.

It was precisely because she felt his highness was doing it on purpose.

Letting her sort through the names before sending it over to the lord uncle's place, what would the Li family think?

They would definitely think that this arrogant and domineering Madam Hua was being petty. They had just wanted to pull the relationship closer but she hurriedly compiled a list of young gentlemen and sent it over. Wasn't this telling their daughter to hurry and choose one so she wouldn't be an eyesore anymore? Even using his highness's name to suppress us when it was your idea!

But she also understood the Jing Prince's intentions. Therefore, she could only darken her face as she prepared to get slandered once again while also feeling sweetness in her heart. She didn't even do any sorting before having Ding Lan send the list over. Eunuch Chang's words had been very clear. His highness had already sorted through the names, and just needed madam to send it out.

Why did she have to be the one to send it? Wasn't it just his malicious intent?!

After Ding Lan left, Li Xue Bing, Qi-Shi and Concubine He looked as though they swallowed a fly.

"Isn't she too arrogant? She can also do this? And his highness is also indulging her and letting her bully our Miao Lian?" Qi-Shi said both angrily and urgently.

Concubine He's brows were furrowed tightly, "Madam, don't speak too soon. His highness has definitely agreed, and in fact he probably approves. Otherwise, where would she have gotten such a list?"

Li Xue Bing was a man, and it wasn't appropriate for him to discuss his nephew's concubine. He could only sit silently with a dark expression.

"The consort didn't even interfere but this Madam Hua took care of it just by flapping her lips. She even borrowed his highness's name. She clearly shouldn't be underestimated...."

Qi-Shi naturally understood the reasoning behind Concubine He's words. Since they relied on their royal nephew, they naturally couldn't offend someone whom he solely favored.

They also clearly understood what the other side meant. Weren't they saying how their daughter's marriage couldn't be delayed? Look how considerate I was, picking out a list of suitors for you in case you become an eyesore.

Of course, they could refuse. But that would undoubtedly put them at odds against Madam Hua. What were their chances against a woman like that? Qi-Shi still knew that men couldn't resist those who shared their bed. Wasn't her husband such an example!?

Qi-Shi glanced at Concubine He as she thought this.

"Then what should we do?"

Everyone there understood the reasoning. Li Xue Bing thought a little further, thinking of how both his sons' prospects were reliant on his nephew. It would be bad if it gets ruined by pillow talk.

"Let's take a look first." Li Xue Bing said.

The three of them picked and chose for a long while, without even drinking a sip of tea. After they were done, they were quite disappointed.

It wasn't to say these people weren't good. They were all decent. Their pictures were even included, and all were quite heroic looking. It's just their background was lacking. If they weren't some imperial guard or vice-commander, they were at most a 7th or 8th minor ranked official. There weren't even any from slightly richer households. If you asked them what counted as a richer household, the Li family also wouldn't be able to answer. They just felt these weren't sufficient.
