Chapter 936: Agree to the Marriage

uffed with gloves and shoe covers by Lin Li. The two of them quickly put them on and went in.The ripples are currently dismantling the wooden planks wall, piece by piece. Inside the demolished wall is..."What How could this be My younger sister is still alive; she just needs some time to recover. As her elder sister, how could I do such a thing!"

Ripples immediately shook her head.

"Ripple, I'm not going to sugarcoat it, your sister has been...gone for the past couple of days."

Ripples listened to Madam Hou's words and this time didn't immediately refuse, she just pursed her lips and remained silent.

Mrs. Hou wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes and continued,

"Ripple, you are my daughter and a young lady of the Hou Mansion. A marriage like that of the Lin family is befitting someone like you. It's only because of your status that I have to bear the pain of finding you such an ordinary match."

But heaven is on your side, and this marriage was destined for you. It's also a reward for you, as you are now part of the Marquis's household. I hope you will consider the interests of the Marquis's household.

When Madam Hou finished speaking, Lian Ri felt her heart moved. Needless to say, the original owner who was ignorant before was even more so.

"Mother, please allow me some time to think about it. I always feel that this would be unfair to my younger sister."

Ripples pretended to be affected.

"This isn't your fault, it's just that your sister wasn't lucky."

Lady Hou sighed.

After spending some time with Madam Hou, Liàn Yī returned to Bìlán Courtyard.

Grandma Sun followed behind Ripples into the inner room, causing Hongqi and Lǜcuì to retreat. Only then did she speak in a low voice:

"Miss, this is a great opportunity, you must seize it."

Liàn Yī took a glance at Sūn Māmā, sighed, and didn't reply.

"Miss, this time heaven is on your side. If you don't seize this opportunity, would you be willing to marry a good-for-nothing wastrel

"

What we saw that day was still the introduction of official media. It's better to marry into the Lin family than to waste a lifetime in a small household.

I have already inquired about Miss, Lin Yaizu is the only son of Shangshu Mansion, Mrs. Lin is guarding this only son, and Shangshu Lin is also focusing on cultivating this son.

Besides Lin Ya zu, the Lin family only has two daughters born out of wedlock. You marrying into the Lin family will make you the legitimate wife. You don't need to pay any attention to those two illegitimate daughters. Just wait until they are old enough, and with just two dowries, you can send them off. They will still remember your kindness.

"Miss, your body is well. After entering the Lin family and giving birth to a son and a daughter, your status will be unmovable. As long as you educate your children well, when Mrs. Lin passes away, you can be the mistress of the household."

Grandma Sun's persuasion was quite effective. Any woman would long for such a life.

Unfortunately, the ripples ancestor doesn't buy it, but she still puts on a convincingly moved expression and frowns:

"Grandma Sun, I know you're doing this for my own good. My mind is in a mess right now, please let me think about it."

"Miss, please rest assured, I am someone by your side. We definitely hope for your well-being. Only when you are well can we be well too."

Grandma Sun said another sentence, then withdrew from the inner room. She also advised that one should be mindful of moderation in their words and actions, not going too far or too little.

After Grandma Sun left, Lian Yi calmly began practicing calligraphy, her face without any expression.

Duo Duo is back. She sent a voice message to Lian Yi:

"Master, Hou An Ding has returned, he knows of your existence now, and he agrees to you taking his place as the bride."

"Uh, I see."

The ripples were not unexpected. In their eyes, their daughter's marriage was nothing more than a bargaining chip.

Three days later, Madam Hou arrived at Bilu Garden with a retinue of servants. Lianyi immediately put on an expression of surprise and delight.

"Mother, I was about to go pay my respects. How did you come here"

"Let me see how you're living here, and I'll get you some more things."

Mrs. Hou waved her hand, and the people behind her immediately followed suit, placing the jade ornaments they were holding in the appropriate positions according to Granny Sun's instructions.

Lady Hou took Lianyi's hand and went inside, then said:

"Ripple, what are your thoughts If you truly don't wish to, Mother won't force you. Just go and break the engagement with the Lin family as soon as possible."

Lady Hòu had long since patched things up with Sun's Nanny, so she came up with a strategic retreat.

"Mother, I've thought it over. I'm willing to marry in place of my younger sister to Lin Yaozhu. This way, I can repay your kindness in raising me. After marrying into the Lin household, I will definitely maintain a good relationship between the Hou household and the Lin household."

The ripples spoke as if they had made a great resolve.

"Good child, I knew you wouldn't watch your mother struggle."

"Mother, I want to go to the Guoshi Temple to pray for my younger sister. It's just a little something from me."

The ripple lowered her eyes and spoke.

Hou's face contorted for a moment, then quickly returned to its original mournful expression as she spoke:

"You're thoughtful. I'll arrange for you to go to the Guogong Temple tomorrow. This time, your identity will be as the eldest daughter of the Hou Mansion."

"I understand."

House Madam was feeling somewhat stifled in her heart. If it weren't for the sake of maintaining a good relationship between the two families, she wouldn't have to coax her eldest daughter like this. Especially since the other party was taking advantage and acting smug now, it made her feel even more exasperated.

Since she was demoted to a second-class maidservant, Cherry has been looking for every opportunity to return to Dali's side. Could the positions of a personal maidservant and a second-class maidservant ever be the same She could already feel the other servants excluding her.

This is mainly because she relied on her status as a senior maidservant and didn't treat the other maids and servants with respect. Therefore, when something happened this time, there was no one to speak up for her.

Cherry looked for Grandma twice, but all she got in return was a request to be patient, and nothing else.

Seeing Miss's status rising higher and higher, she couldn't help but start to worry. Hearing that Miss was going to the Huguo Temple the next day, she blushed anxiously and gritted her teeth, shoving a gold bracelet into Sun Grandma's hand.

Grandma Sun shook the golden bracelets on her wrist a few times, then satisfied, tucked them into her bosom and said to Yingtao:

"Just wait here, I'm going to tell Miss, she seems in a good mood today."

Then Grandma Sun stepped into the room.

Moments later, Grandma Sun came out again and said to Sakura:

"Come in, miss wants to see you."

After hearing this, Cherry blushed and thanked Granny Sun. Then she quickly stepped into the inner room.

"Miss, Sakura knows she was wrong."

The cherry acknowledged its mistake and knelt down in a timely manner.

"Come on! Have we learned from our mistakes this time"

The ripple raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I know I was wrong. I will never make the same mistake again."

"You've been acting a little off since you got back. You see, no one even pleaded for you after your punishment. No one. I can't even find a way to save face for you. What do you have to say for yourself"

The ripples murmured softly.

Now, even the other people in the courtyard made her angry. The mistress punished this maid, and no one stood up for her. They just let her stand there in the cold for so long.

"Miss, you are right. It was the cherry that wasn't done well, and it brought shame to you."

The cherry just lay on the ground, profusely apologizing. The gist was to get back to Miss's side first and then explain everything.

"Alright, get up! Go prepare yourselves, tomorrow I'm going to the Temple of the Guarding Nation to pray for blessings."

Yes, Miss!

After being demoted for two months, Sakura returned to Ripple's side. This time, she didn't dare to be arrogant anymore.

The next day, Lian Yi sat in a carriage, accompanied by her maidservants, housekeepers, and guards, as they left from the front gate of the Marquis's Mansion.

Lan Ri looked at the plaque of Duke An's mansion, a smirk playing on her lips. Today was the day the Duke's mansion bestowed the status of eldest daughter upon her, so on that day he best not even dream of taking it back. with the supply convoy alone, Lin Yong was allowed to return with the main force, which essentially saved his life. How could he be so shameless and brazen, trying to muddy the bloodline of the Lin f...
