famous concubine

Chapter 375 The Wall Ladder (2)
The fourth aunt held the excellent Biluochun, looked at the leaves floating on the water, her eyes pierced through the misty water vapor, she still couldn't suppress the anxiety that was naturally revealed in her heart.

"Second miss, I know that today's visit is abrupt, but..." Fourth aunt bit her lip slightly, seeing her expression, as if she had made a secret decision, her tone paused, and she looked at the stunning girl firmly, "Concubine I have thought about it for a long time, but I can't think of any way to evade this matter, I beg Second Miss to guide me; if this can be done, I will do my best to serve you Second Miss in the future."

With a smile in the oriental language, Yan Yan rolled her bright eyes, her tone was unhurried and melodious, "Si Yiniang, you are too serious."

Eyebrows are slightly downcast, eyes are already far away under the mottled tree shadow outside the window.

"Si Yiniang, you'd better get up and talk, you are my elder, if you let others see you like this, it's not good." The girl's tone was light, her brows were smiling, and the corners of her eyes flicked to the fourth aunt who was about to bow to her, The light white palm raised slightly, and Xia Xue who was next to her immediately took a step forward, and secretly supported the fourth aunt with all her strength, making it impossible for the fourth aunt to complete the salute to Dongfang Yu.

"Second Miss..." Seeing that she refused to accept the gift, Fourth Aunt became even more anxious, "Please help this concubine again no matter what, if you can save Xiaoni from this catastrophe, after concubine passes..."

"Fourth aunt." The girl turned slightly, blinked at fourth aunt with clear eyes, and said slowly: "Even if you want me to help, at least let me know what happened first."

"If I don't even know the cause and effect, I will boast that I want to help you. Do you dare to believe that?"

Fourth Yiniang was startled, then she showed joy, she nodded repeatedly and said yes: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault for being anxious and confused."

"Well, it's actually not complicated to say." Si Yiniang slowly settled down from the initial anxiety under the eyes of Dongfangyu with soothing power. The girl sighed and said: "Mrs. told my concubine yesterday that the Eldest Young Master is going to marry Geng Yannuan, the daughter of Mr. Geng from the Ministry of Officials, as his wife; but when the other party's parents agreed to this marriage, they made a request."

Here comes the point!

The girl's eyes flickered slightly, and the coolness drifted away.

She showed her usual indolent smile, glanced at Fourth Aunt calmly, and asked, "Oh, I made a request? Could it be related to Fourth Sister?"

Si Yiniang lowered her head, with a helpless expression on her face, smiled wryly, sighed, and said, "Exactly."

"Second Miss, to tell you the truth..." Fourth Aunt fixed her eyes full of expectation, "This matter, in my opinion, only you can solve it."

"Fourth Aunt, don't flatter me." The girl smiled modestly, her eyes were far away and empty, "I don't understand what's going on, you should know, I don't like to talk big."

Everyone knows how to wear a high hat, but not everyone can afford it and wear it steadily.

"My concubine knows that Second Miss, you are a kind-hearted person, so I dare to ask you for help." A look of embarrassment flashed across Si Yiniang's eyes, but the resentful expression was quickly replaced by her helplessness. It covered up the past, "Actually, Mr. Geng's request was to ask the madam to marry one of the young ladies in the mansion to the Geng mansion, and the madam chose Xiaoni."

"Isn't this a good thing?" The girl raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Si Yiniang, why do you want to do everything possible to avoid it?"

"Second miss, you don't know." Fourth aunt said this, with an angry and helpless expression, and her eyes were slightly watery.Seeing this, Dongfang Yu's heart softened. She didn't expect Fourth Aunt to really have a kind of motherly attitude towards Dongfang Ni, and it wasn't all for the sake of relying on her in the future.

"If it's really a normal young master, even if the wife asks Xiaoni to marry him as a concubine, according to Xiaoni's current situation, the concubine has no choice but to smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, admitting this bitterness to herself. ;But……"

She stopped suddenly, her tone suddenly revealed a sharp wind, and her face suddenly turned into a trace of ferocious hatred, "Who did she promise Xiaoni? That man's brain was burnt out because of a high fever since he was a child. He said it nicely." She is the young master of the Geng family, and Xiao Ni was a decent young lady when she married, but to be honest, she is just an old fool with a false name, no matter how nice the name is, what's the use of it."

"Marry a fool who doesn't know what's hot; isn't that going to push Xiaoni into the fire pit and ruin her life for nothing?" Fourth Aunt's eyes were slightly wet, she lowered her head, her expression was a little heavy, "No matter how useless the concubine is, I can't just watch Xiaoni live in misery in the future."

Dongfang Yu's eyes turned, she pondered for a moment, and then said: "Has the madam already decided on this matter? Has the date of the Geng family's appointment been chosen already?"

"The other party used the pretext of ordering the young and old as an excuse, saying that the eldest young master, who is the elder brother, must get married first, and Geng Yannuan, the younger sister, can get married; in order for the young master to marry the daughter of the Geng family as soon as possible, Madam, how can we disagree with each other?" The other party has agreed on a date, and the date of the engagement is set to be on the sixth day of the next month, and if the dowry is given at that time, Xiaoni... the rest of her life will be over."

The fourth aunt took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, with a sad and helpless expression on her face. She glanced at Dongfangyu, and then said: "I know that Xiaoni's marriage will ruin her life. Tell me, how can I not be in a hurry?" , but there is nothing I can do to change Madam's decision!"

Dongfangyu silently calculated, today is 28, and it will be less than ten days until the sixth day of next month, it seems that Madam is really impatient.

She glanced at the expectant fourth aunt, pondered for a while, showing a look of embarrassment, and said slowly: "Fourth aunt, this... I'm afraid I will disappoint you. The marriages of the ladies in the mansion are arranged according to the rules. All should be decided by the mistress of the house, since the madam has already decided on this matter, even the date of the appointment has been fixed with the other party, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do."

When Fourth Yiniang heard this, her heart suddenly turned cold, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that the matter hadn't reached the point of despair, because Dongfangyu didn't reject her outright, which obviously left a way out.

"Second Miss, as long as you can help Xiaoni get through this difficult time, I promise you that in the future, you will be the only Miss Second to follow my lead. If you violate it, I will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death." With bright eyes, the girl suddenly knelt down and raised five fingers, swearing a poisonous oath to the sky.

"Fourth aunt, please hurry up, why do you swear such a poisonous oath, isn't this trying to ruin me, a junior!"

Dongfangyu's eyes flickered slightly, and there was an unknown meaning in her clear eyes. Although she stepped forward to help Fourth Aunt, her tone did not intend to let go.

The Fourth Aunt stood up, gritted her teeth secretly, once again set her heart on, and said very quickly: "If the Second Miss doesn't believe it, I can swear against Xiao Ni or even my own parents; if I break this agreement someday , Xiaoni will never get married; and the concubine's parents...they are old and have nowhere to go, and there is no place to bury their death..."
