Substitute Marriage 14

Someone is plotting against her, but Yu Yanling doesn't know about it.

But she still kept following the progress of her reply to Yu Yanhe.

Seeing Yu Yanhe return from Xie's house, she immediately asked Zhiyan and Aunt Qu to seize the time to mix this thing into it.

The two of them were naturally not lazy. They wandered around the big kitchen in various ways all day long by making delicious food for Yu Yanling to please their new master, and they became familiar with the people inside.

When they came back that night, they both said that the medicine had been administered.

But I don’t know if it is insured or not. Yu Yanhe must be taking birth control pills, or they have taken other measures. To be on the safe side, they have to continue.

After this matter was settled, Yu Yanling concentrated on practicing martial arts.

Apart from practicing martial arts every day, she lies down the rest of the time. The main reason is that she is too tired. Her arms are almost unable to be raised, but there are benefits. Her body no longer falls down when pushed. At least...

Resist a few times.

My strength gradually increased and my appetite became much larger.

Occasionally, she was invited by Mrs. Pei to play in Pei's house. During the meal, she was shocked by Yu Yanling's appetite. Mrs. Pei looked at her for a long time and then whispered: "Looking at you being so thin, I thought you had a small appetite.

"

Yu Yanling was a little shy. The original owner did have a small appetite. After she started practicing martial arts, her appetite tripled, but she couldn't do it if she was left hungry. Anyway, they would be living together in the future, so there was no need to avoid it.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Pei comforted her with a smile: "It's a blessing to be able to eat. I've been thinking about how to make you eat more when you get married. Don't be like other people who are thin and weak. That way your body is not good."

"Yeah." Yu Yanling nodded obediently and ate three more meatballs before he stopped still.

Mrs. Liu, who later learned about this, was frightened. After hearing Mrs. Pei's reaction, she was thankful: "Fortunately, she is your mother-in-law."

This made Yu Yanling dumbfounded and continued to concentrate on practicing martial arts at home.

It was eerily quiet for a while.

I don't know what Yu Yanhe is thinking about.

Mrs. Liu naively thought that they had settled down, mainly because the Pei family was really awesome. On the day the wedding date was set, they announced lively that their second child was getting married.

The two families have been engaged for many years, and some people in Kyoto know about it. However, the men of the Pei family are rarely in Kyoto, and Yu Yanling rarely shows up. His reputation is not great, so not many people know about it.

Only now, it suddenly appears frequently in everyone's ears.

This caused many people to murmur secretly. It seems that Mrs. Pei is quite satisfied with the second daughter of the Yu family, but when she sets a wedding date, she wants everyone in the capital to know about it.

In particular, Mrs. Pei frequently sent gifts to the Yu family and visited every now and then. It was a treasure.

Of course, Yu Yanling often returns gifts, such as pastries, embroidered handkerchiefs, and jewelry made by herself. They are all trinkets, but Mrs. Pei likes them very much. She shows them off when she meets people, for fear that others will not know that she has a daughter-in-law.

.

Yu Yanling also didn't expect Mrs. Pei to be so cute. Knowing the truth that she wanted to marry early, he was afraid that she would be bullied, so he often came to see her and beat Mrs. Yu overtly and secretly to support her.

The old lady's face looked ugly this time.

The main reason was that she failed to convince Yu Yanling to agree to the substitute marriage, because she didn't like Mrs. Liu and her granddaughter. In the past, as the first member of the Yu family, even if she didn't care about things, she was the first to speak up, so she asked Mrs. Liu to copy a scripture as a penalty.

Something easy.

But now Mrs. Pei is watching eagerly from the sidelines and often comes to the door. If she wants to do something, she will either be blocked by the other party or be frightened away by the other party's overt and covert threats.

The old lady was so angry that she even fell ill.

Yu Zhen, Yu Jing and others were not much better.

They know their own people, so if they really marry Yu Yanhe, with her lawless temper and the state of losing her virginity, everyone will not be able to live well. Therefore, the friendlier the Pei family is and the more satisfied they are with Yu Yanling, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the mansion was also extremely low-key, and the maids and wives did not dare to speak loudly.

In this large family, only the Liu family and Yu Yanling, mother and daughter, have their own territory as usual.

During this period, Yu Zhen also called Yu Yanling to the study many times, trying to brainwash her into being grateful to the Yu family and dedicating herself to the Yu family. However, she had never been a saint and could not do such a thing, so she remained unmoved.

After several attempts without success, Yu Zhen couldn't help but start to show off his face when he tried to coax the girl again.

It's just that Mr. Liu has long lost any friendship with him, and Yu Yanling is not the original owner. He doesn't expect fatherly love, so he is not touched in any way. Seeing Yu Yanhe was so anxious that blisters formed on the corners of his mouth, and he was so painful that he couldn't eat properly for several days.

Finally, it was until the birthday party at Xiao Mansion in late May that she regained her energy.

——

Today is the fifteenth birthday of Xiao Jinqiong, the only legitimate daughter of the third lady of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

She was in her prime of youth, and as the most favored girl in the Hou family, the Xiao family naturally wanted to hold a grand banquet for her and invite all her relatives and friends.

Marquis Weiyuan has always been a close minister of the emperor, and some ministers with higher status than him have to coax him.

Therefore, there were many people here on this day and it was extremely lively.

Yu Yanling, who was about to become the second young wife of the Pei family, was also invited. She didn't want to go, but Yu Zhen informed her very firmly and let her go.

Yu Yanling knew that there was fraud involved, and she was not afraid of those tricks, so she went to the banquet calmly. The day before, Mrs. Pei sent someone to bring a box of jewelry, saying that it would be used for her to attend the banquet. She also said that there would be more jewelry at the banquet.

There is another surprise.

She doesn't understand it, but that doesn't stop her from looking forward to it.

The sun was about to set, and when the sunset dyed half of the sky red, Yu Mansion's carriage was about to set off. This time, Yu Yanling and Yu Yanhe were in a carriage. They got up one after the other, but Yu Yanling deliberately walked two steps faster to come.

Get on the carriage.

When Yu Yanhe got on the carriage, she kindly helped him.

This made Yu Yanhe a little panicked. He immediately took his hand back as soon as he sat down and looked at her with a wary look on her face. What happened to this person? He showed his courtesy for nothing and was either a traitor or a thief.

Yu Yanling shrugged, sat back, and leaned against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed to meditate.

This made Yu Yanhe feel confused and swallowed it down. He looked at her deeply and closed his eyes.

Yu Yanling felt the probing gaze on his face disappear, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly, suddenly looking forward to tonight's birthday party.

Different from the banquet held by married people, the guests at Xiao Jinqiong's birthday banquet were mainly young men and women of the same age, and they were not very young when they got married. Therefore, there were no fixed seats. Instead, a special place was set aside in the front yard of Xiao's house, with various seats in the middle.

There are sideshows for entertainment, and there are only seats in a circle around it, so you can sit down wherever you want.

It must have been a real effort, and the acrobatics they invited were really good. People like Yu Yanling who are used to seeing all kinds of modern entertainment enjoyed watching it with gusto.

I have forgotten about Yu Yanhe and others. If there is a chance in the future, I will invite them to perform. I wonder which troupe they are from?

She was thinking about finding someone to ask.

At this time, a maid came to serve drinks. Suddenly she stumbled and the tea in her hand spilled out. The maid hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Miss, please forgive me. I didn't do it on purpose."

Yu Yanling frowned. It was already a bit hot in late May, and the clothes she wore were not thick. After pouring the tea, the light blue skirt was a little see-through.

Jade immediately stepped forward and put the cloak on her, protected her and scolded her: "How did you do this? There is not even a stone on the ground and you can still fall down?"

The maid was so frightened that she trembled: "It's my fault. Please forgive me, Miss. I don't know what happened. I just fell because my ankle hurt."

Yu Yanling waved her hands: "Forget it, it's okay, I'll just go change clothes."

The maid breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw her getting up, she followed her: "Slave, I will serve you young lady."

Jade frowned and pushed her away: "I'll serve the lady, just lead the way."

The maid smiled innocently, did not refute, and led the way. At every banquet like this, there would always be a special resting place for male and female guests.

Just after leaving the front yard, Yu Yanling discovered that there were not many street lights on this road, and it was quiet all the way. The maids and women must have been dragged to the front yard to be busy.

I don’t know how many things require so many people.

She clicked her tongue in her heart, but followed her all the way to a courtyard. Before she entered, she heard a soft "Uh!" behind her, then an object fell to the ground, and then she felt something with a bit of smell coming towards her.

Attack.

Yu Yanling's eyes turned cold and he raised his hand to block it.

The maid was stunned, as if she didn't expect to be stopped. She was stunned for a moment, but she was probably prepared. This maid was not an embroidered pillow. Instead, she immediately grabbed Yu Yanling's wrist with her backhand.

Fortunately, Yu Yanling also reacted quickly and turned his palm into a fist to hit the maid's wrist.

"Ugh!" The maid groaned, her eyes already filled with horror, and she put her hand on her waist to draw out the knife.

Unexpectedly, the silver light of the dagger flashed, and the next moment there was a sound of breaking wind behind her. Her waist and abdomen hurt. She flew out and fell heavily to the ground. The pain made her scream "Ah!", but there was still no sound around her.

Yu Yanling turned around in surprise, and saw a tall young man in black brocade clothes slowly put his feet back and stood up straight, his deep brows furrowed, and the young man's voice was clear and serious: "This maid has bad intentions, you knew it from the beginning, why do you still do it?"

Let her follow?"
