Chapter 936 Agree to Substitute Marriage
"What? How can this be done? My sister is still alive, just taking some time to recuperate. As the eldest sister, how can I do such a thing!"
Lianyi immediately shook his head.
"Lianyi, I won't hide it from you, your sister is only here for a day or two."
After listening to Mrs. Hou's words, Lianyi did not refuse in a hurry this time, but just pursed her lips and said nothing.
Mrs. Hou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes before continuing:
"Lianyi, you are my daughter and the young lady of the Hou Mansion. You are worthy of a marriage like this from the Lin Mansion. It is only because of your status that I have to reluctantly find a better marriage for you.
But God is standing by your side. It is fitting that this marriage should happen to you. It can be regarded as my compensation to you. You are now also a member of the Hou Mansion. I hope you will give more consideration to the Hou Mansion. "
After Mrs. Hou's words, Lianyi felt moved, not to mention her previously ignorant original body.
"Mom, please let me think about it. I always feel that I am sorry for my sister."
Lianyi said in a pretentious manner.
"It's not your fault, it's your sister who is unlucky."
Mrs. Hou sighed.
Lianyi stayed with Mrs. Hou for a while, and then returned to Bilanyuan.
Grandma Sun followed Lianyi into the inner room, letting Hongqi and Lucui retreat, and then whispered:
"Miss, this is a good opportunity, you must seize it."
Lianyi glanced at Grandma Sun, sighed, and did not answer.
"Miss, God is helping you this time. If you don't seize this opportunity, are you willing to marry an incompetent dandy?
The person we met that day was introduced by the official media. Instead of wasting a lifetime in a small family, it would be better to marry into the Lin family.
I have inquired for the young lady and found out that Lin Yaozu is the only heir of Shangshu Mansion. Mrs. Lin is guarding such a son, and Shangshu Lin is also focusing on cultivating this son.
Apart from Lin Yaozu, the Lin Mansion only has two daughters from concubines. If you marry into the Lin Mansion, you will be the official wife. You don't need to pay attention to the two daughters from concubines. When they get older, they only need two dowries to send them away, and they still need Thinking of you.
The young lady is in good health. Once she enters the Lin Mansion and gives birth to a boy and a half girl, her status will be unshakable. As long as you educate your own flesh and blood, you will be able to take charge of the family when Mrs. Lin is gone. "
Grandma Sun's persuasion is still very powerful. All women yearn for such a life.
It's a pity that Ancestor Lianyi didn't accept this trick, but she still pretended to be tempted and frowned:
"Mother Sun, I know you are doing it for my own good. I am very confused right now. Please let me think about it."
"Miss, please don't worry. I am someone close to the lady. We must hope that the lady is well. Only when the lady is well can we be well."
Grandma Sun said one more thing and then left the inner room, advising people to be more careful and not to go too far.
After Grandma Sun left, Lianyi began to practice calligraphy calmly, without any expression on her face.
Duoduo has returned, and she sent a message to Ripples:
"Master, Marquis Anding is back. He already knows about your existence, and he also agreed to let you marry him."
"Well, I understand."
Ripple is not surprised at all. In the eyes of these people, their daughter's marriage is just a bargaining chip in their hands.
Three days later, Mrs. Hou came to Bilan Garden with a group of people, and Lianyi immediately pretended to be flattered.
"Mother, I was about to go to say hello, why are you here?"
"I'm here to see if you are used to living here and buy some more things for you."
As soon as Mrs. Hou waved her hand, the people behind her immediately filed in and placed the jade ornaments in their hands in the appropriate position according to Grandma Sun's instructions.
Mrs. Hou took Lianyi's hand and went to the inner room, and then said:
"Lianyi, what are you thinking about? If you really don't want to, mother won't make it difficult for you. She just wants to go to the Lin family as soon as possible to cancel the marriage."
Mrs. Hou had already been angry with Grandma Sun, so she made a move to retreat instead of advance.
"Mother, I have thought about it. I am willing to marry Lin Yaozu on my sister's behalf. This can be regarded as repaying my mother's kindness in giving birth. After marrying into the Lin Mansion, I will definitely maintain the relationship between the Hou Mansion and the Lin Mansion."
Lianyi said as if he had made a lot of determination.
"Good boy, I knew you wouldn't see your mother in trouble."
"Mom, I want to go to the Huguo Temple to pray for my little sister. It's my heartfelt wish."
Lianyi lowered his eyes and said.
Mrs. Hou's face looked ferocious for a moment, then returned to its original sad look and said:
"Now that you are interested, I will arrange for you to go to Huguo Temple tomorrow, but this time you will be the concubine of the Marquis Mansion."
"I see."
Mrs. Hou felt a little stuck in her heart. If it weren't for the sake of maintaining the relationship between the two houses, he wouldn't have to coax his eldest daughter like this. Especially when the other party was taking advantage of her and still behaved, she was even more frustrated.
Since Cherry was demoted to second-class maid, she has been looking for opportunities to return to Da Lianyi. Can the status of personal maid and second-class maid be the same? She has clearly felt that her servants are rejecting her.
Mainly because she relied on her status as a maid and didn't pay attention to those rough-and-tumble maids and servants, so when something happened this time, there was no one to speak for her.
Cherry went to see Grandma Sun twice, only to get a sentence asking him to wait patiently, and nothing else.
Seeing that the young lady's status was getting higher and higher, she couldn't help but become anxious. When she heard that the young lady was going to Huguo Temple the next day, she became furious, gritted her teeth and gave one of her gold bracelets to Grandma Sun.
Grandma Sun shook the gold bracelet in her hand, then stuffed it into her arms with satisfaction, and said to Cherry:
"Just wait, I'm going to tell the lady now. I see she's in a good mood today."
Then Grandma Sun walked into the house.
After a while, Grandma Sun came out again and said to Cherry:
"Go in, the lady wants to see you."
After hearing this, Cherry's face lit up with joy, she thanked Grandma Sun and quickly walked into the inner room.
"Miss, Cherry knows that she was wrong."
Cherry knew the situation and knelt down to admit her mistake.
"Get up! Did you learn a lesson this time?"
Ripple asked with raised eyebrows.
"I know my mistake, and I will never make the same mistake again."
"You have been a little distracted since I came back this time. Look at who has begged for you after you were punished. No one has interceded for you. I can't even find a way to do it. Tell me about you."
Lianyi said quietly.
Cherry also hated everyone else in the yard at this time. The young lady punished her, a big maid, but no one came forward to talk things over, and she was left in the cold for so long.
"The lady is right, the cherries were not done well, which embarrassed the lady."
Cherry lay on the ground and kept admitting her mistake. Anyway, she would go back to the lady first.
"Okay, get up! Go down and get ready, and accompany me to Huguo Temple to pray for blessings tomorrow."
"Yes, miss!"
Two months after being demoted, Cherry returned to Lianyi. This time she didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.
The next day, Lianyi left in a carriage with the maids, servants and guards from the main entrance of the Hou Mansion.
Lianyi looked at the plaque on Marquis Anding's door and smiled. Today, the Marquis's house gave her the identity of his legitimate daughter, so don't try to get it back in the future. (End of chapter)
