When Li in the house heard this, she knew that it was the town’s local security guard Li Sancai who had arrived!

She hurried out of the house and greeted him with a big smile on her face, "Hey! Third Uncle, what fragrant wind brought you here?"

The man who came was the town's local bailiff, Li Sancai. With a stern face, he said to Li coldly, "The county has found out that your family underpaid the head tax by 30% last year! You have three days to pay it, or the county will send someone to collect it!"

"what?"

When Li heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue!

She was so panicked that she quickly grabbed Li Sancai and said, "Uncle San, why are you asking for additional taxes?"

Li Sancai shook her off and said coldly, "I don't know! The county government just sent someone to inform you. If you have anything to ask, go to the county government and ask!"

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving Li standing there alone, dumbfounded...

She pondered over how she had offended the government...

But after thinking for a long time, I still have no clue.

Moreover, when I went to the county yesterday, I didn’t hear the county magistrate mention this matter. How come he suddenly notified me today?

Suddenly, a thought suddenly popped into Li's mind!

She remembered what the housekeeper said in Lvliuxuan this morning. That person said, you must not regret it when the time comes!

Oh my god! Li was shocked all over! She realized that the other party was warning her!

right! That must be it!

The overwhelming fear sobered her up instantly. She quickly turned around and went into the kitchen and said to Qing He, "Good child, stay at home. I'll go to Mother Lu's and buy you some rouge and powder! You should dress up nicely tomorrow!"

After saying that, he hurried out.

Qing He was very surprised by her arrogant and respectful attitude, and thought her mother was frightened and confused...

The next day.

Li didn't sleep well that night. She kicked Bilian and the other two out early the next day. Then she came to Qinghe's room and praised Qinghe after she was dressed up, "Oh! She looks even more beautiful after this dress up!"

Then he praised Qinghe for being so good and sensible, saying that although she was born simple and delicate, she was clever, hardworking and capable, and would definitely marry into a good family in the future!

Qinghe was a little scared when she saw her mother's abnormal behavior, and she didn't know what her mother was up to.

Because Li only loved Bilian, and treated Qinghe, Furong and the other two like a stepmother, and never had a good face to them.

Especially towards Qinghe, she always has an uncertain face and is usually cold as ice, but in front of outsiders she always acts like a gentle and loving mother.

In short, not like an ordinary mother and daughter.

This made Qing He feel very uncertain about today's blind date, not knowing what kind of fate was waiting for her...

But she still decided to treat today's blind date well. She took out the new clothes from the bottom of the box and put them on. She then carefully fixed her hair in front of the mirror and finally put on her beloved hairpin.

Seeing that everything was almost ready, Li simply grabbed a handful of melon seeds and went to the door, eating them while looking into the distance. This made the neighbors think that she was planning to make her relationship with Mr. Wang's housekeeper public. Otherwise, why would she be hanging around at the door so early in the morning?

Just when Li was getting impatient and her legs were sore from standing, she saw two brightly dressed men walking towards her from the alley entrance...

Upon seeing this, Li quickly threw away the melon seed shells, walked over with a smile on her face and asked, "Excuse me, who are you two..."

The handsome young man said, "My name is Jiang, and I'm here to see Miss Qinghe!"

"Oh, Mr. Jiang! Please come in! Please come in!"

Li led the two to the door with a smile on her face, and then shouted at the top of her lungs, "Qinghe! Qinghe!"

Jiang Yaonian looked into the courtyard following her cry...

I saw a pure and beautiful girl slowly walking out of the west wing. She was wearing a lilac dress, her black hair was tied into a bun, and she had a pink crystal lotus hairpin on her head. She had a very quiet and simple temperament.

Probably because it was her first blind date, she looked a little shy and nervous, with her head slightly lowered.

Jiang Yaonian looked at the girl with interest, thinking that it seemed that his grandmother had not lied to him, this girl was indeed quite pleasing to his eye!

Although she was born in a farming family, she didn't look rough or clumsy at all, which was completely different from her crooked-necked sister and widow mother.

You can tell at a glance that the two are mother and daughter.

"Child, this is Mr. Jiang!"

Li introduced Qinghe to her attentively, her voice very flattering.

Qinghe bowed to the two of them, then looked up slightly and was stunned!

She never expected that her mother would introduce her to such a lovely husband!

Not only was the other person handsome and gentle, but he also had a reassuring and down-to-earth feeling, as if I had seen him somewhere before...

Although there was a strange man standing next to him, dressed in bright clothes and with an imposing manner, Qing He's heart was completely attracted by this gentle and upright young man...

She said happily in her heart: Mother, although you have never been kind to me, but because of the marriage you introduced to me today, I will definitely be filial to you in the future like Bilian!

Qing He was completely overwhelmed by this sudden surprise. She didn't notice anything wrong for a while and was just immersed in happiness and joy...

But Jiang Yaonian on the opposite side could tell at a glance that this innocent and naive little village girl had recognized the wrong person!

She mistakenly took Zhao Cheng as her blind date for today!

And she must have been very happy in her heart, because after giving him a fleeting glance of affection, she immediately lowered her head shyly, with two blushes rising on her pretty little face...

This made Jiang Yaonian very unhappy!

He frowned deeply, looked at the shy little girl in front of him, and asked calmly, "Miss Yao, what do you think of me?"

Ok? !

What do you think?

Jiang Yaonian's words made Qing He stunned... She thought: Isn't it enough for a blind date to just be attracted to each other? Why... do we have to have an opinion about the middleman?

It was not until then that she secretly looked at the middleman who looked like the man's cousin, but she did not expect that the other party was also staring at her!

The cold gaze that came over scared Qing He so much that she shuddered instinctively and quickly turned around and pretended to look away!

After a while, when she felt there was no danger, she quietly looked at this future relative again...

This 'cousin' was quite tall, strong and handsome, with fair skin, faint stubble on his cheeks, and a small black mole on his right cheek. He exuded a fierce aura that made him look like someone who was not to be trifled with!

Especially the pair of shrewd and sharp eyes under the thick eyebrows, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, made Qinghe feel very uncomfortable, but she couldn't say it, so she had to cast her gaze on the man next to her who made her feel at ease, hoping that he could help her out of the predicament.

Unexpectedly, the man just looked forward with a gentle and humble expression, and did not respond to Qinghe's gaze for help.

This made Qing He feel a little strange, and she couldn't help but look at her stepmother...

It was not until then that Li realized that something was not right!

It turned out that this damn girl had recognized the wrong person. She mistook the follower as her blind date for today!

snort!

Li sneered in her heart, "It's true that wild boars can't eat fine bran! That follower's attire and aura are obviously inferior to the young master next to him, and the damn girl actually took a fancy to him!"

Just as she was about to reveal the truth, her eyes suddenly turned, and a plan came to her mind. She asked Qing He with a fake smile, "Child, are you satisfied with Mr. Jiang?"

Qing He lowered her head shyly and said softly to Li: "I will obey your mother's arrangements in everything!"

Li thought: Haha! Now it's easy with your words!

Just as she was about to speak, Jiang Yaonian interrupted her coldly, "Well, since Miss Yao agrees to this marriage, the betrothal gifts will be sent to your house tomorrow! You guys get ready, and we'll get married on the eighth day of next month!"

After saying that, he turned around and left with Zhao Cheng.
