I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 656 A Marriage That Is Too High

Seeing this, Xia Ying quickly held Miss Zhifu's hand.

"Sister Long, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine." Miss Zhifu smiled at her with difficulty.

It's okay if she doesn't smile.Now that she smiled like this, she looked even weaker. This was the first time Xia Ying saw her look so weak and helpless!
The magistrate's wife also saw it, and she quickly lowered her voice and said, "Sister Long, are you feeling unwell? If you can't hold on, go back to your room and rest!"

"No need. Since my daughter has already come out and sat down, of course she has to sit in the back left." Miss Zhifu said softly.

Her stubborn appearance made Xia Ying's heart ache even more.

After finally finishing the meal, Miss Zhifu's complexion finally looked a little better.Just when she got up to walk, she swayed again and almost fell down.

"Sister Long!"

Xia Ying hurriedly reached out to help her, but saw that the prefect's wife was quick to help her daughter up.

"Sister Long, you are really serious. Since you are sick, why didn't you say it earlier? Do you think you are going to hold on until this time?" The magistrate's wife said softly, and she had already supported her daughter and walked back.

Seeing this, Xia Ying took a few steps forward, but saw the magistrate shaking her head at her. "Sister Yingniang, you go back! There are so many happy events in your family today, you should go home and celebrate together."

"But you..."

"I am fine."

"All right!"

Knowing that what she said was duplicity, but Miss Zhifu was stubborn and refused to give in.Looking at the performance of the prefect's wife, it is clear that she also wants to close the door to solve the housework, Xia Ying is really not easy for an outsider to intervene.

Helpless, she could only nod her head, and after watching Miss Zhifu's mother and daughter leave, she and Gu Tuo drove home together.

But even after returning home, Xia Ying still couldn't help sighing.

"What do you think the emperor thought, that he proposed marriage to Sister Long and the Ninth Prince out of nowhere? I see Sister Long's reaction, she is clearly unwilling!"

"Nowadays, the number of descendants of the Holy Majesty is rare. Although nine princes have been born up to now, only three are really supported. This nine princes is the youngest one and the one he loves the most. The reason why the emperor abandoned the noble daughter in the capital , and the choice of a magistrate's daughter as his imperial concubine should be due to the blessing of the magistrate's family having six sons in a row, and the fact that the magistrate's young lady is smart, decisive, and healthy, unlike those in the capital. Noble girls are generally delicate and weak. If she marries the Ninth Prince, she will definitely be able to continue a few more bloodlines for the Ninth Prince." Gu Tuo said softly.

Blood, blood, blood again!
The corner of Xia Ying's mouth twitched slightly. "So, Sister Long should thank Lord Long En, right?"

"According to the rules, it should be like this." Gu Tuo nodded.

Xia Ying suddenly turned her head. "Can you try saying one more sentence?"

If he dares to stab her in the heart again, let's see if she doesn't pinch him!

Gu Tuo looked helpless. "I'm just telling the truth. You are angry with the Emperor and Mao Zhifu, why are you throwing fire on me?"

"Who told you that you are all men?" Xia Ying said viciously, "An emperor inexplicably ruined a girl's future in order to have more children and grandchildren. Mao Zhifu directly sent his daughter to the royal family for his own bright future. Give yourself an advantage. And you! Don't think I don't know, if it were you, you would do the same thing as them! You stinky man!"

"Heaven and earth conscience!" Gu Tuo was so wronged, "Although I understand their thoughts, I will never do this! I will seriously consider Fu's marriage, and Bao's especially, I will not Selling girls for glory! Even Xiao Qi, I would only find someone from a well-to-do family to marry someone from a well-to-do family, so I wouldn't let them suffer a lifetime of torture for a little benefit!"

"Are you serious?" Xia Ying raised her eyebrows.

Gu Tuo nodded firmly. "As early as the moment my family was ruined and my family was destroyed, I already understood that blood inheritance, glory and wealth are all fleeting. Life is alive, and being able to live well is the key. I never ask for honor, so of course I will not ask for My sons and daughters are like that. I am a different person from the current emperor and Mao Zhifu."

That's more or less.

Xia Ying hummed lightly. "Forget it, I won't quarrel with you first. I have to send a message to Sister Duanniang, let's think of a solution together."

"How do you think?" Gu Tuo couldn't understand her words.

"Of course it's Sister Long's business!" Xia Ying said.

However, her news was sent to the Ye Mansion overnight, and the reply from the Guan family hadn't arrived the next day, but the news came from the government office first——

Miss Zhifu is sick!

After only one night, she was bedridden, as if she had been drained of energy, she lay limp on the bed, and she didn't even have the strength to speak.

Xia Ying hurried over when she heard the news, and seeing the current situation of Miss Zhifu, her whole heart ached.

"Why do you say you are doing this? If you really don't want this marriage, you can cry and make a fuss, or you can beat something. Why do you keep everything in your heart and end up killing yourself in one night?" Are you bored like this?"

Guan Shi was also very distressed.

"Sister Long, speaking carefully, this is also a good marriage. Although there are many royal rules, they also get a lot of honor, don't they? Your father worked hard in the officialdom for the purpose of being promoted and conferred upon his wife. Son. Through this marriage, you can help your father go further, and even your brother can be honored, so it is not in vain for your family to support you!"

She admonished the prefect entirely from a utilitarian point of view.

Xia Ying heard it in her ears, and she felt very uncomfortable.

"Sister Long, if you really don't want to marry, why don't we figure it out and let you pretend to be dead and run away?"

After all, the cause of this marriage was the album she dedicated to the emperor, so Xia Ying still wanted to make up for it.

"Yingniang, what nonsense are you talking about?" However, her words had already come out of the treasury, and Guan's face immediately became stern.

Miss Zhifu also shook her head weakly. "It's impossible. The emperor's gift of marriage is a great honor to our family. No matter how many people ask for it, we can't ask for it! And what sister Duanniang said is quite right. My father and mother raised me, and my children Marriage is the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker. I have expected that my father will arrange a marriage for me in the past two years. It's just that I always thought that my father would choose a family for me in his same year. However, I I never dreamed that the emperor would take a fancy to me first!"

"Speaking of which, it's also my face! How could I refuse such a great honor? Anyway, I have to marry someone. It doesn't matter who I marry. As long as my family is satisfied, I am content. "

"But you?" Xia Ying squeezed her hand tightly, "Do you not care whether you are happy or not? Life is so long, and you still have so many years to live in the second half of your life, you really plan to lock yourself in that Shall I spend my whole life in a big, prosperous cage?"

"Of course I won't." The prefect immediately shook her head.
