”Miss, this Madame Yang is too much of a bully. Judging by her status, she is even shorter than you. How dare she …” Xiaotao applied the medicine to Lee Miaoyin with tears flowing down her face. There were countless old and new wounds crisscrossing her slender and petite body …

However, Lee Miaoyin said, ”Don't worry, Auntie Yang won't be able to be arrogant for long.”

Xiaotao didn't understand. Seeing that the young lady didn't want to say anything else, she stopped asking.

Lee Miaoyin no longer spoke as she thought about her own fate. Her own mother, who was also Lee Chengji's concubine, Mo BaiRong, was originally the daughter of a rich merchant and was born with a beauty that could match the heavens. The ones who asked to marry would almost flatten the threshold of marriage, including Lee Miaoyin's father, Lee Chengji.

At that time, Lee Chengji had just failed his examinations and assumed his position as a High Scholar. Because his background was poor and he didn't have a family member to support, even if he had a good job, it wouldn't be his turn. After waiting for year after year for no reason, his shrewd old lady came up with an idea and went to find a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Mo Family were renowned for their wealth. With money, if they could marry Mo Family's daughter, they would definitely bring along a large amount of dowry, and at that time, they would be able to use money to get their hands on an official.

At first, Lee Chengji didn't want to do it. He had a childhood cousin, Yang Suyun. The two of them had been friends for a long time.

Old Li's mother tried to persuade him, but Lee Chengji finally nodded his head.

Jingguo had always been a light merchant, and scholars especially did not like the cunning copper smell of merchants, so merchants were proud to marry a scholar, while scholars were ashamed to marry a merchant.

Lee Chengji, with the title of a High Scholar and his elegant demeanor, quickly stood out among the group of suitors.

When Mo Mansion married to a daughter, with five kilometers of makeup, the Lee Mansion of a small family member would become rich overnight.
