Substitute Marriage 2

After successfully forcing Yu Yanhe to cry and complain to Yu Zhen, Yan Ling returned to his yard and leaned on the couch tiredly.

She had just come to this world and had to accept so many complicated memories. She was quite tired.

Especially since she is actually a pensioner in the Quick Travel Bureau and is only thinking about retiring. Who would have thought that such a big accident happened and there was not enough manpower, so she was brought here too.

Fortunately, she didn't go to an ordinary farmhouse in this world. I heard that several of her colleagues who were providing pensions went to Jishi Wenli, where they had to work in the fields and couldn't be taken care of. It was so miserable.

It's still comfortable here, and she is a young lady after all.

No, Yan Ling frowned.

Her two maids, one Jade and the other Pearl, immediately and intelligently came over to her, squeezing her shoulders and beating her legs, which made her eyes narrow in comfort.

Seeing that her master was in a better mood, Feicui asked cautiously: "Miss, is the substitute marriage you just told the eldest lady true?"

Yan Ling nodded: "Yeah."

Jade's eyes suddenly widened: "How could they do this? It's not like the young lady is not married, the young master of the Pei family is still protecting his family and the country!"

Pearl also said angrily: "That's right, the master is too partial!"

Yan Ling couldn't help but sigh in her heart, look, even the maids who haven't studied understand the truth, but Yu Zhen, who is the Minister of Rites, doesn't care and only sees the immediate benefits.

It's just that she was too lazy to join in the righteous indignation with the maids, so she confronted the original owner's father for a long time, and was temporarily on standby.

After pressing it for a while, the jadeite disappeared.

Yan Ling took a moment to take a peek and guessed what she was doing, but there was no movement.

Sure enough, after a while, Mrs. Liu hurried over with an ugly face.

"Aling, I'm sorry for you!" After saying this, he held his daughter tightly in his arms with a bear hug, and tears fell one after another from his big eyes.

Yan Ling was already drowsy, but when she heard the original owner's mother's voice, she quickly sat up and snuggled into Liu's arms as the original owner was accustomed to, but she didn't say anything immediately.

The original owner was not a person who liked to complain. She rarely saw strangers in her life, which made her very reserved. She looked lively and cute, but was actually very timid.

In the memory, the original owner did not say a word of these things to Ms. Liu, for fear that she would be sad, and that she would confront her father for her own sake. Her father had already treated her mother coldly enough. If she got married and her mother stayed in the Yu family, she would not have to rely on her in the future.

Father?

It's just that she underestimated a mother's protection for her children.

Only when the original owner got on the sedan chair did Ms. Liu realize how much wrong her daughter had suffered, but by then the end was settled and she could only endure it.

But when her daughter suffered from internal strife at a young age and was given away by someone with white hair, she hated Yu Yanhe so much that when she went to visit Yu Yanhe pretending to be a loving mother, she secretly scratched the wound with someone else's typhoid cloth.

Two children, and then wiping the cloth on it really caused Yu Yanhe and her two children to suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, Xie Cheng knew a miracle doctor and rescued them. However, Xie Cheng took revenge on Liu and retaliated with tooth for tooth. Yu Zhen turned a blind eye and watched his wife die of typhoid fever.

——

Her daughter snuggled up obediently, and Mrs. Liu's heart softened. As a mother, she knew her children very well and was keenly aware of something. She waved away the maid and her mother, and then whispered: "Good girl, tell mother,

What did your father tell you?"

Yan Ling's heart felt sour, and the emotions of the original owner came up. She rubbed Mrs. Liu, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and whispered: "Eldest sister seems to have a sweetheart outside and is unwilling to marry Xiao Yi. Dad said that I should do it for you."

Marry me because my eldest sister and I look a bit alike and have similar body shapes."

Madam Liu had already heard this once, but when she heard it again she turned pale with anger, gritted her teeth and said: "Is he crazy?! You are only three points alike, so you will definitely be exposed. Hasn't he thought about the consequences of being exposed?

?!"

Yu Zhen thought about it, but the girls have already been married, and everyone only cares about their reputation. Marquis Weiyuan will not really do anything wrong. Besides, she is also the legitimate daughter, so this is not bad.

But he didn't say this.

Yan Ling imitated Yu Zhen's tone and said aggrievedly: "He said it doesn't matter. The deal will be done by then. He will help me gain a foothold there and give me more dowry so that I don't have to be afraid. But mother, I'm still afraid~

"

Ms. Liu's face gradually turned livid, and she almost broke her silver teeth. She felt extremely cold: "Her daughter, Mrs. Zhang, is a daughter. Isn't the daughter I gave birth to her biological child? For her daughter, your father can actually sacrifice you! I

I have to ask him..."

"Mom, don't be angry." Yan Ling hurriedly pulled her, fearing that she would lose her mind and make the wrong decision, "I didn't agree. As long as I don't agree, they can't tie me to the sedan chair, right? So many people are watching.

It’s here.”

There are prescribed steps for getting married in these aristocratic families. When the time comes, the bride has to say goodbye to her parents, and has to be carried by her brothers to the sedan chair, etc. If she doesn't want to, everyone will not be able to look good.

That's why Yu Zhen coaxed her into agreeing.

"It's okay if I didn't agree!" Mrs. Liu patted her chest with lingering fear. When she looked at her daughter's young face with reddish eyes, she became even more sad: "Poor my son, he has been wronged because his mother is useless."

Yan Ling comforted her a few more words to calm her down, and then said: "Mom, dad didn't treat me as a daughter at all. I didn't listen to him this time and didn't let Yu Yanhe get what he wanted. In the future, my eldest brother will be in charge of the house. I

Now that you are married, it will be even more difficult for you to live alone in the house. Have you ever thought about leaving with me?"

This was her purpose in telling Mrs. Liu about this matter.

In ancient times, few women divorced, and almost none took care of their daughters in old age. But if Liu was left in the house, Yu Yanhe and Yu Jing would not let her go.

Just when she mentioned this matter, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Mrs. Liu's face: "How can a mother marry her daughter? Don't worry, I am their legitimate mother after all. Even if they want to do anything, they won't dare."

"Mom, but I don't want to leave you either. Dad doesn't like me, so I only have mother!" Yan Ling said pitifully.

Seeing that Mrs. Liu still wanted to refute, she raised her hand and pressed it down: "Mom, think about it carefully. I don't think the Pei family will mind raising you as an extra person. Besides, there is still my dowry. You can buy a house next door to the Pei family.

, the same thing."

Ms. Liu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she didn't refute immediately. Instead, she was a little moved when she heard it, but she was quickly suppressed. She frowned: "Since your eldest sister has come up with this method, she will not give up easily. She has been since she was a child.

She has a selfish temper. I was afraid that she would bully you, so I didn’t let you associate with her. I thought that when you married into the Pei family, you wouldn’t have any contact with her. I didn’t expect that she would actually plot against you in this matter. Mom, I have to go find her.

Mrs. Pei will decide the marriage as soon as possible."

Yan Ling smiled and nodded: "Okay."

She did not refute. The original owner was engaged to Pei Xiuli, the second son of the Pei family, when he was very young. The Pei family’s headquarters was at the border, but the wife of the head of the family stayed in Kyoto with several children. No one dared to look down upon her, so even if she and her mother did not ask for permission,

My father likes me, but I am disliked by the old lady, but my life is still good.

After so many years of protection, she was willing to marry him. She also wanted to save Pei Xiuli. If she couldn't save him, remaining a widow for the rest of his life was a good choice.

She has a dowry and betrothal gift. Even if the Pei family is in decline, as long as they don't rebel, she can still live a good life. With a group of maids and mothers waiting on her, it can be regarded as the retirement life she wants.

Seeing her daughter being so well-behaved, Ms. Liu felt affection in her heart and touched her head, but she didn't delay, fearing that the night would be long and full of dreams, she hurriedly left to write a greeting note.

Originally, her daughter was one month away from turning sixteen. She thought that seventeen would be a good time to get married, so as not to have a child at a young age and damage her body and bones, but that was no longer possible.

It’s all Yu Yanhe’s fault!

Speaking of this person, Ms. Liu remembered what her daughter had accidentally mentioned, "There is a sweetheart outside." Who is the sweetheart?

Have to find out.

If she dares to scheme against her daughter, then everyone will not have an easy time!

——

The father and daughter in the study were also discussing Yu Yanling.

The original confrontation at the door of the study courtyard successfully made Yu Yanhe cry. She had never suffered such grievances since she was a child, but Yan Ling's firm refusal to marry her made her even more panicked.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the study room, Yu Yanhe pulled Yu Zhen's sleeve and said anxiously:

"Dad, Yu Yanling bullied me. She publicly told me how shameless I was to ask her to marry her, and she said it was impossible to agree. Why didn't she agree? Do I really want to marry into the Pei family?"

"Then the Pei family is already jealous of His Majesty, and she will be a widow when she gets married. What's wrong with this marriage?!"

Yu Yanhe's tone contained a strange certainty.

Yu Zhen didn't pay attention to the hidden meaning in her words, and only nodded in agreement.

The Marquis Weiyuan Mansion has always been loved by His Majesty and is a close minister of His Majesty. He has always wanted to go further. If Marquis Weiyuan helps to speak, the chance of success will be greater.

I just thought it was a simple matter. This second daughter has always been naive and ignorant, and she still wants to please him. Shouldn't she agree directly? I didn't expect her rejection to be so ruthless.

White-eyed wolf!

Why did he fall in love with Mrs. Liu in the first place? Not only could he not have a legitimate son, but his only daughter was also raised crookedly.

Yu Zhen looked gloomy: "She is short-sighted. She just cares about the current honor of the Pei family and won't let go! She was obviously born and raised by the Yu family, but she actually said that the Liu family was the one who gave birth to her and raised her? Didn't Liu eat my Yu family?

Family food!”

Yu Yanhe also nodded vigorously, so anxious that tears fell down: "That's right, if it weren't for my father's greatness, how could we live so well? The Liu family is a poor family. If it weren't for my father, there would be no Liu family now.

"

The father and daughter kept talking, feeling angry and depressed.

Yu Yanhe, in particular, was a little flustered. Just like Yu Zhen, she also thought that this matter could be solved easily. Did she really want to terminate the engagement?

Not to mention that breaking off the engagement would offend the Hou family, and she was also afraid... afraid that Xie Cheng would fall in love with Yu Yanling again. After all, she had seen how loving the two of them were in her last life.

At that time, she was still deliberately trying to destroy it, but what she got was Xie Cheng's cold eyes, which were so cold that her bones shivered.

Yu Yanhe bit his lip, with a pleading look on his delicate and charming cheeks, and shook Yu Zhen's sleeves: "Dad, you are so powerful, think of a solution quickly, it only takes two months..."
