Chapter 546, Dribbling the Ball 24

After Magistrate Lin finished asking, his hands were shaking with anger.

His family has a small population and only has one biological sister, Lin, so naturally the baby feels the same pain.

However, his family was not wealthy back then, and he had to go to Beijing to take the exam, so he could not take care of Lin.

In addition, they had always trusted Li Xiucai, so they left with peace of mind.

Who would have thought that Li Xiucai looked honest, but in fact he had no opinion of his own at all. He did whatever others said and didn't even stop his daughter from being sold.

Magistrate Lin was so angry that he directly dealt with these two people privately.

However, Zhou Qin quietly came to the magistrate early the next morning, intending to report Lu'er's situation to Magistrate Lin.

Magistrate Lin interrogated Ms. Li last night and learned that her precious niece actually went to live with someone else.

He was glad that the child was not sold to a brothel.

But I feel sad that a good child actually became a lowly wife.

Just thinking about his niece's suffering made Prefect Lin feel bad for Zhou Qin.

But Zhou Qin was used to doing business and had a very thick skin, so he still talked to Magistrate Lin in nice words.

"It's a surprise for Lu'er to follow me. But since you're back, you should still host the wedding for us. After all, Lu'er only has your natal family at the moment."

These words touched the heart of Magistrate Lin.

He originally wanted to take his niece back, raise her for a year, then give her a generous dowry, and finally find her a good family to marry. It might as well compensate her for the suffering she has suffered over the years.

But who would have thought that his poor niece not only had intercourse but was also pregnant.

This makes it difficult for Prefect Lin to handle.

Seeing that he was still refusing to agree, Zhou Qin had no choice but to kneel down on one knee, clasping his fists and saying, "Master Lin, to be honest, I sent someone to the capital to inquire about you a month ago."

At that time, Zhou Qin did not know the situation of Magistrate Lin, nor did he know whether he would win the first prize.

However, he had already decided to give Lu'er a status at that time, so he hoped for the good of the Lin family.

Now that the Lin family is really an official, he will give Lu'er and his children a serious identity.

Magistrate Lin was moved by his sincerity.

He was not an ignorant person, so he could naturally see that Zhou Qin was really interested in his niece.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked for it so early in the morning.

Fortunately, not many people now know that Lu'er is a housewife, so it can be remedied.

Magistrate Lin suggested, "Since you are sincere, then send Lu'er back in the evening."

"If you really want to marry her, ask your mother to come with a betrothal gift. Three matchmakers and six betrothals, none of which can be missing."

Zhou Qin nodded happily, "Okay, junior, I'll do it now."

"You and I haven't seen Lu'er for a long time. It would be nice to let her stay at home with you more. But she is pregnant now, so she can't wait too long to get married."

Although saying this will make the Lin family hate it.

But Zhou Qin was afraid that they would not let him go, so he could only kindly remind him that the marriage should not be delayed.

However, he still made up for it, "Although we need to get married quickly, our families are close to each other. After we get married, Lu'er can go back to his grandfather's house to live for a while."

After hearing this, Magistrate Lin and the two elders of the Lin family were relieved.

Yes, although a girl is married, there is no rule that a married daughter cannot return to her parents' home.

Moreover, this boy Zhou Qin seems to be quite upright, and he will be able to cause trouble even if he thinks about it.

So the Lin family reluctantly agreed to the marriage.

Zhou Qin told his mother about this when he got home.

Mrs. Zhou also found it magical.

She had always wanted to help her son get married to an official, but she didn't expect that she actually got married.

And this time he was still a high official.

The more Mrs. Zhou thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and she even began to feel lucky that she had treated Lu'er well.

Although Lu'er is just a cousin of the Lin family, the prefect Lin only has one biological sister, Lu'er's mother, so this relationship is really close to each other.

Moreover, the prefect is in charge of all matters of their generation, which is much better than those petty officials.

The more Mrs. Zhou thought about it, the more beautiful it became. She hurriedly asked people to prepare the betrothal gift, and happily went to propose marriage the next day.

She deliberately learned the ways of proposing marriage from officials.

Including the three media and six hires, they all follow the rules.

The Lin family could see that Mrs. Zhou was an upright person, so they smiled and agreed.

At night, Zhou Qin wanted to send Shuyan Shangshen back.

Seeing that he was reluctant to leave him all the way, Lord Shuyan said funnyly, "I will go back and stay for just half a month. We will get married next month. Why are you still looking so sad?"

Zhou Qin gave a bitter smile, "You are a well-fed man and don't know how hungry a man is. You want me to hold you to sleep every day, but you don't know how sweet your sleep is."

"But today you went to the Lin family, and I had to sleep alone for half a month. How good is that? My husband will definitely be unable to sleep at night for half a month~"

Look at the face of this profiteer, he is always pretending to be pitiful.

Shuyan Shangshen touched his face and said, "Then just endure it. What you don't get will always be in turmoil. That way you will miss me more."

What he said made Zhou Qin think wrong. He immediately said with a cheeky smile, "That's done, then I'll bear with you for my husband, and then on the wedding day, my wife will provide for me? Huh?"

Shuyan Shangshen knew that he was thinking wrongly, so he went in with a smile without explaining.

When the Lin family saw her coming back, they felt heartbroken.

"My Lu'er, are you okay? It's your grandmother's fault that made you suffer."

In fact, after the Lin family went to the capital, they wrote letters back.

But those letters were torn up by Li, and Li Xiucai was asked to reply with some false news.

So Lu'er never knew there was a letter from her grandmother.

Shuyan Shangshen knew that all this was not their fault, so naturally he would not blame them.

Instead, he comforted them and said, "Grandma, please stop crying. Your health is urgent."

"Although Lu'er did suffer in those years, Third Master was very kind to me. Look at me, I have gained weight and my skin is also very good."

Old Mrs. Lin saw that her face was rosy, and she really didn't look like she was suffering.

When he heard about her pregnancy, he asked with concern, "How many months old is the baby? Is it harmful?"

"It's been three months. I used to have a bad taste and couldn't eat smelly food. Now I'm fine. It tastes good when I eat it. I just miss my mother a little bit."

After saying this, the two elders of the Lin family felt even more distressed.

"It's our fault that we didn't discover your mother's illness in time. From now on, this will be your mother's family. When you marry into the Zhou family, you will be a decent wife. If the Zhou family dares to bully you, you can come back and we will give you Call the shots.”

Shuyan Shangshen nodded and said yes, then snuggled into Mrs. Lin's arms, "Thank you, grandma~"

After hearing this, Mrs. Lin felt even more distressed. Immediately went to arrange her dowry.

The Lin family was poor at that time and could not afford much dowry for their daughter.

Now that the Lin family's life is better, they can also buy a dowry for their granddaughter.

However, there are many grandchildren in the family, and some have to be left for them, so the dowry can only come from Mrs. Lin.

Zhou Qin thought of this and asked someone to bring the dowry over overnight, saying that he wanted to get the dowry out of the Lin family.

When the Lin family saw this, they immediately became happy, thinking that this uncle would indeed cause trouble.
