Chapter 517: Chapter 517: Forced by Death (3)_1

Of course, the women in the back courtyard of the Wang Residence didn’t have it easy either, knowing full well the secret. The two sisters and Li Yanran happened to share the same thought on this matter.

Chu Suifeng was a man of sentiment. As long as the old lady was willing to help them get into the Wang Residence, Chu Suifeng would surely treat them well in respect of the old lady.

By then, so long as the sisters joined forces to show their gentle side in front of Chu Suifeng, they weren’t afraid he wouldn’t truly fall for them. As of now, Li Yanran could be considered a trial. After all, they were all Marquis Residence’s daughters. Why should only the daughters from the main family be able to marry into the Wang Residence, while they from the second family couldn’t?

As for Li Yanran, with her foolish appearance, the two sisters didn’t put her in their eyes at all.

"How is it?" The elderly woman was full and satisfied, and was in a good mood after being cheered up by Li Wanyue Sister. Initially, because of her old age and poor eyesight, she hadn’t noticed anything wrong with Li Yanran. It was only after Li Wan’e reminded her that she noticed Li Yanran’s red and swollen eyes, "Who has been bullying you?"

"Grandmother." Seeing the old lady, Li Yanran finally couldn’t help but let all her grievances explode. She hadn’t spoken yet, but her uncontrollable tears had fallen again. "Please help me, grandmother."

Having said that, she knelt down on the ground with a thud.

Li Wanyue and Li Wan’e felt tense in their hearts. As expected, it had come.

They were anxiously watching the development of the situation. If Li Yanran succeeded in what she was after, then there was also hope for them to enter the Wang Residence together.

"Get up, if you have any grievances, sit down and tell me. It’s cold on the ground, you as a young lady can’t catch cold." The old lady was startled and signalled the servant to help Li Yanran up.

"Miss, the old lady asked you to sit and talk. If you have anything unjust, sit down and tell her. The old lady will certainly stand up for you. Seeing you kneeling on the ground like this, the old lady’s heart is pained." Nanny Qilan laughed and helped Li Yanran up.

Qilan had followed and been cherished by the old lady since she was a child. Despite being a servant, Qilan held high prestige in the mansion. Even the young mistresses like Li Yanran had to show her respect.

She personally came forward to help Li Yanran. Li Yanran couldn’t afford to throw tantrums any further and stood up with her support, "Thank you, Nanny."

"That’s more like it. Miss, crying so much that your eyes are red and swollen hurts the old lady’s heart." Nanny Qilan said, smiling encouragingly.

"Go ahead." The old lady, seeing that Li Yanran had sat down, asked affectionately, "Did you get scolded by your parents again?"

"No." Li Yanran shook her head, denying it. "Today, I’m shamelessly here to request grandmother to fulfill my wish."

"Wish?" The old lady pondered, her gaze sharpening.

"I wish grandmother to help me persuade cousin to allow me to marry into the Wang Residence. I’m willing to serve cousin for my whole life." Li Yanran pleaded while shedding tears.

"Younger sister wants to marry into Wang Residence?" Li Wanyue emphasized the word "marry" particularly.

In ancient times, only the legal wife could be said to have "married". Li Yanran is quite ambitious!

"Prince just announced in public that Lin Ziyin is the future princess. Older sister, you?" Li Wan’e seemed to be shocked by Li Yanran’s words and only realized her mistake after interrupting her midway.

"How is Lin Ziyin worthy of being a princess? She is just a peasant girl. If cousin really can’t bear to part with her, then let her be a concubine in the Wang Residence." Li Yanran answered, gritting her teeth. To have Lin Ziyin serving as a concubine in the Wang Residence was already the limit of her tolerance.

"Say that again." The old lady’s tone grew cold, but the raging Li Yanran did not notice.
