Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Zige Gets Married(6)_1

"Since it’s been delivered, Congyi, accept it." Chu Suifeng finally spoke up lazily.

Upon hearing this, Li Yanran’s heart blossomed with joy. It seemed like her move to deliver grain and fodder was the right one.

"Show our guests out." Chu Suifeng’s next sentence threw her directly from warmth into a pit of coldness.

"Cousin." Li Yanran anxiously looked at Chu Suifeng. How could this be? She hadn’t even had a proper conversation with Chu Suifeng yet. Plus, it was getting late; it should be lunchtime soon. Was the Prince not inviting her to stay for lunch at his residence?

"I have official matters to handle." Chu Suifeng’s indifferent sentence stopped Li Yanran from persisting.

With a feeling of regret, Li Yanran settled in the carriage to return home.

"Miss, since the Prince has accepted the beans, he is naturally appreciative of you." The maidservant tried to comfort her.

"Indeed, just now the Prince kept staring at you incessantly - it was enough to make even us uncomfortable." Another joined in, flattering her.

"He wasn’t looking at you two, what’s there for you to feel uncomfortable about?" Li Yanran laughed, feeling significantly better upon hearing this.

Upon her return to the residence, she noticed quite a few servants appraising her with odd glances.

Li Yanran was in such high spirits that she didn’t mind their stares.

However, as soon as she stepped into the front hall, a tea cup was smashed in front of her, splashing hot water onto her.

"Ah!" Li Yanran shrieked in shock, "Who doesn’t have eyes..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she looked up to see her father standing there with other important members of the Li family.

"You spendthrift, you still have the nerve to return?" The Marquis of Li, pointing at Li Yanran, shook with fury.

"Father, what did I do wrong?" Li Yanran burst into tears and threw herself into the arms of Lady Mu. "Is it because you’re upset with me that you’re venting it out on me? I don’t want to live anymore!"

"Listen to her! Such an unruly daughter! You always make mistakes but never repent." The Marquis of Li was unbelievably infuriated. He once had high hopes for his daughter, but now he realized she was utterly foolish and should not be relied upon.

"My child, why would you buy and deliver grain to the Wang Residence without telling anyone?" Lady Mu also scolded her, albeit in a softer tone.

"Isn’t it just grain? I didn’t even use the residence’s public silver." Li Yanran shouted, her voice full of grievance. She thought she had made a serious error, but it was just about the grain she delivered to the Wang Residence today.

"Listen to you, even now you don’t know what you’ve done wrong. One day, the Li family will be ruined due to your foolishness." The Marquis, unable to contain his anger, staggered and collapsed on a chair.

The people from the second house didn’t step in to pacify, nor did they add to the chaos.

Li Jieyong sighed and explained to Li Yanran, "A person from the Prince’s side just left. He came to warn our Li family. Little sister, didn’t you think this through? Procurement of military rations is always a serious matter and a military secret. You, as a woman, rashly delivered military rations to the Prince. What do you think the Prince will think of our Li family?"

It was just a few words, but Li Yanran understood them. She was stunned. "I didn’t think that much..."

"Not thinking much, you purchased so many beans and sent them over, are you brainless? Such a big event - don’t you know to ask us?" The Marquis’s anger had not subsided. "By the way, how did you have that much silver?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jiesong immediately coughed and avoided making eye contact with Li Yanran.

Li Yanran was not stupid and did not reveal Li Jiesong’s involvement. "It’s the silver I’ve saved over time. I really didn’t think much. I just wanted to give the Lin family a lesson."
