Chapter 849 - 848: Great, it’s him!
Ninth Master Lee raised his eyebrows but didn’t speak. He picked up the box, took out a piece of paper, scanned it quickly, then closed the box and tucked it into his chest.
"I just heard Lady Wang say she was going to the Provincial Capital. Perfect timing, my Lee Family has a few boats on the Jing River with several guest rooms. If you want to go to the Provincial Capital, just board our boat. Besides, safety is guaranteed."
Having collected the courtyard and the estate, taking a boat was just a trivial matter. Wang Yongzhu knew this was Ninth Master Lee showing goodwill.
Whether or not she would take the Lee Family’s boat in the future was uncertain, but Wang Yongzhu responded unreservedly, "If the time comes, I will trouble you!"
Ninth Master Lee showed his first smile since entering the courtyard, satisfied that Wang Yongzhu didn’t reject his goodwill. It seemed she at least considered him a friend and not an outsider.
Thinking this, Ninth Master Lee picked up a cup of tea, drank a couple of sips, and got interested in some idle chit-chat, "Lady Wang, what do you plan to do after you stop doing business?"
He felt somewhat regretful; such a woman retreating to the home to live a life revolving around the stove and children was a waste.
He couldn’t help but think, if Wang Yongzhu were to marry him, he certainly wouldn’t confine her to the house. He would encourage her to do business; she had the talent and only with their Lee Family could she freely realize her potential.
Marrying a scholar like Song Chongjin, scholars were often rigid and dull, what a pity!
Thinking of this, Ninth Master Lee showed a fleeting expression of regret.
