Outsiders also have golden fingers

Neither mother nor daughter wanted to make the other sad, so they both avoided talking about the topic. After dinner in silence, Linghui found an excuse to go back to her room.

Qing Ling clearly saw that her back was wiping tears.

"Madam, Mrs. Lin is here."

Mrs. Lin? Isn't that the patriarch's eldest son-in-law? Call her aunt herself.

In this life, the old patriarch Du Zhenglan, because of his short-sighted behavior, gave up the position of patriarch to his eldest son Du Zhihe at the urging of his grandfather. Lin became the wife of the patriarch, which may not have been the case in the previous life.

Qing Ling remembered that she was a person with good character and ability. Although she did not dare to go against her father-in-law's wishes, she and her mother-in-law had been secretly helping her mother, so that her mother was not so isolated and helpless.

This aunt not only has a good relationship with my mother, but is also well-informed. Although she can't be of much help, she can just comfort her.

The two exchanged some pleasantries. Mrs. Lin looked at the tears on her mother's face and the anxious expression, sighed, and glanced at the door. Mother Lin consciously went out and guarded the door.

"Wan Yun, did you ask Aunt Yue to go to the Wu family today to talk about marrying into the family? No ambitious young talent is willing to marry into the family. Wouldn't a mediocre man have wronged Ling'er?"

My mother was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile: "It spread out so quickly? What a pity, sister-in-law, we feel that we have wronged Ling'er, but they are still unwilling.

My sister-in-law and aunt have always treated me well, so I won't hide it from you. It has been almost three years, but Ling'er's marriage has been frustrated again and again. I think everyone understands that they dare not marry us because they are afraid of the Lu family.

At first, I wanted to find a higher family background, but later I was forced to lower my requirements again and again, and even planned to find a squire's family or an ordinary scholarly family.

As long as the child is a good match for Ling'er and has good character, it doesn't matter whether he makes progress or not. At worst, he can give him more dowry and he can be stable and worry-free for the rest of his life.

But even people like this are worried about being dragged down by us!

Sister-in-law, I just can't figure it out. They have been here in Yunzhou for many generations since their ancestors. They have never produced any high-ranking officials or big shots, and they don't even have anyone working in the capital.

It's just that they live a life of keeping their ancestral property and have a better life than others. How can being married to us affect their bright future?

Do they have a future?

Is it possible that the Lu family could still think of going to Yunzhou to deal with and suppress a rural landowner or a so-called scholarly family that had a good reputation?

And today's Wu family son is just a child who relies on his uncle and aunt to have enough food. He can't afford to go to school, but he is also worried that it will affect his future!

Haha, what future can a person who has not enough to eat and both his parents die have? Obviously he likes our Linger very much!

It's not that I'm in a hurry to marry off Ling'er. My sister-in-law is a knowledgeable person. She must have heard about how the aunt and stepmother of a wealthy family used marriage practices to manipulate their stepdaughters and concubines? The Buddha's mouth is really frightening.

Mrs. Lu is not a good person at all. I was afraid that Ling'er would be ruined for the rest of her life by someone deliberately making a bad marriage in the future, so I was anxious to arrange a marriage for her, and even wanted her to get married as soon as possible.

If the Hou Mansion wanted to show some respect, Zhi Qian would acquiesce if he still had the slightest pity for his daughter.

I didn’t expect that Ling’er’s marriage would be so unsatisfactory. No matter how low we lower the conditions, or even if we are willing to recruit a bride, it won’t work! The capital is thousands of miles away, are they afraid of the Lu family?

Is it really up to others to control Ling'er's life? "

Mrs. Lin sighed deeply, raised her head helplessly, and whispered:

"Brother and sister, I am here to tell you the truth today. My mother-in-law secretly told me this. You must keep calm.

I heard that before my uncle died, in order to protect you and He Linger, he forced brothers Zhiqian and Lu to swear a poisonous oath! " "ah? this? What poisonous oath? They almost didn't recognize each other, so how could they be willing to listen to their father and make such vicious oaths? "

"I heard that my uncle went to the government to sue Zhiqian for having adopted his original wife without telling the elders, and treated his concubine as his wife and his concubine as his legitimate concubine!

Although the government suppressed the matter, the uncle had to withdraw the complaint himself, otherwise there would be many people watching.

In order to make their uncle take the initiative to go to the government to withdraw the complaint, they were forced to swear a poisonous oath!

The content of the oath is not to cause trouble for you, not to interfere with Ling'er's marriage, and not to force you mother and daughter to go to Beijing. Otherwise, you will be struck to death by five thunders from the sky without a burial place, and you will never be reincarnated as a human being.

I don’t remember it all, but anyway, those words were very poisonous, just to scare them into letting you mother and daughter go.

The uncle's original intention of doing this was probably that if the oath was so poisonous that it frightened people, they would weigh the pros and cons and feel that it was not worthwhile to break the oath for Ling'er's marriage. What if it came true?

Then the gain outweighs the loss! This way they will let you go. He really has good intentions.

These years have indeed had some effect. They did not send anyone to embarrass you, nor did they force you to go to Beijing. Seeing that Ling'er was about to grow old, they did not take the initiative to propose marriage to her, they just ignored her. "

Qingling had witnessed her grandfather force Du Zhiqian and Du Baoyi to swear a poisonous oath in her dream. Du Zhiqian probably said that he was Lu's to protect his daughter.

Of course, it is not that they have a "deep love between father and daughter", and Du Baoyi has greater ambitions, which will also bring greater glory and wealth to Du Zhiqian. In order to achieve that goal, she cannot bear any big stain.

Sure enough, my mother was very surprised and moved when she heard this.

"So that's it. I said I've been living peacefully these past few years. I only picked up Brother Yuan in the past few years. He didn't disturb us, let alone cause any trouble. It turns out that dad is protecting us!

Sister-in-law, thank you for telling me this, otherwise I would never know that dad has done so much for us.

But even though they were afraid of Du and vowed not to interfere with Ling'er's marriage, those people were still very afraid of the Lu family and still refused to get married."

"No, that's not the case, Wan Yun, I'm here to tell you the truth today.

Although the Lu family did not do evil openly, they did it secretly. They did not violate their oath on the surface, but they were able to manipulate you.

They just told a few slaves who were good at figuring out their master's thoughts about swearing poison. Those slaves were all the best among men, and they immediately understood what to do.

In the twelfth lunar month before you proposed your marriage to Ling'er, the people from the Pingding Hou Mansion came to give New Year's gifts and quietly told my father-in-law about the matter, adding something to the words:

The old man is confused. The eldest lady is also the registered daughter of the Hou family. How can she marry an ordinary person in the country? This is too humiliating!

There are many young talents in the capital who are of noble birth and good character. How can they be compared with those of rural landowners and sour talents? How can the liveliness and prosperity of the capital city be comparable to that of this rural place?

Mrs. Ye has never seen the world. When she does in the future, she will definitely beg the Marquis and Mrs. Lu to arrange a good marriage for their daughter in the capital.

Although the eldest lady has passed away, she is also the biological daughter of the Marquis. How could her life be ruined by an ignorant Ye family? "
