Lin smiled and said, "Li'er, you will have to get married sooner or later."
She looked at Wu Zhongyao.
"Zhongyao is a kind-hearted child. You will surely enjoy happiness if you marry him."
As soon as Lin finished speaking, Shen Li suddenly sneered.
The Wu family is in Beiyang area, quite far away from Yanjing City. Even if she marries there, how easy will it be to return to Yanjing?
But she also knew that now that her father was gone, her life and her marriage would be decided by Old Lady Shen and Mrs. Lin.
But she was unwilling to let her fate be manipulated by others.
During the days she was imprisoned, she was tortured by the Kyoto government.
I also understand that if people want to live, they cannot become zombies and must fight for themselves.
She didn't know Wu Zhongyao's personality, but she could see that Wu Zhongyao's biological mother, Wang, was a difficult character to deal with.
I'm afraid that if I get married in the future and have a mother-in-law like this, I won't have an easy life.
Thinking of this, she bit her lip and slowly stood up.
He used his right hand to remove the gauze on his left hand, revealing medicine mixed with blood and flesh.
"Li'er, what are you doing?"
Shen Li said: "Li'er's hand has been broken off in the Yanjing government office. I'm afraid she won't even be able to hold a cup in the future."
"If Master Wu really wants to marry me, he must be prepared to have someone take care of me for the rest of my life."
"I am ill and cannot bear children for the Wu family to continue the family line."
"I will never marry into the Wu family either."
When the cold voice came, Wang frowned immediately.
Upon seeing this, Lin immediately tried to smooth things over.
"I think Li'er was injured and hasn't recovered yet."
She got up from the chair and pulled Wang out of the hall.
When they reached an empty corner, Lin whispered in a voice that only two people could hear.
"Li'er is acting like this because she is upset. She is usually very well-behaved."
"What's more, she is the legitimate daughter of our Shen family. Before her mother passed away, she left some dowry for her, and she still has some dowry in her hands."
"When she gets married, Madam Shen and her uncle Jiang Xuan will also prepare a lot of dowry."
"If your Wu family marries her, her dowry can just be used to pay off Wu Qiu's gambling debts."
Wang naturally knew the interests involved.
Shen Li was sickly, had a terrible reputation, and couldn't carry on the family line, so she didn't want her precious son to marry her.
However, if she married Shen Li, she would be happy to use Shen Li's dowry to pay off her husband's debts.
Shen Li is weak. At worst, once Shen Li leaves, Wu Zhongyao can just marry another one.
She looked at Lin with a sly look on her face.
"What if she really doesn't want to get married?"
Lin sneered: "Even if she doesn't want to marry, she has to marry. I have plenty of ways to make her marry."
Just as the two were discussing enthusiastically, Shen Mi slowly walked into the front hall.
In the front hall, Shen Li sat upright on a chair with a determined look on his face.
Old Madam Shen leaned on her crutches and looked at Shen Li with a sigh.
Shen Mi walked in slowly, came in front of Old Madam Shen and bowed.
"grandmother."
Madam Shen said solemnly: "Get up."
Wu Zhongyao, who was sitting at his seat, widened his eyes when he saw that it was a rare beauty coming.
Shen Mi also noticed his look and glanced at him, and Wu Zhongyao immediately smiled happily.
He asked Madam Shen excitedly, "Could this be the second sister?"
Seeing that Wu Zhongyao was looking at Shen Mi with a strange look, Old Lady Shen nodded.
"This is Shen Mi, the second maid in the mansion. She has been married to the prince."
When Wu Zhongyao heard that the marriage was granted to the prince, he suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
He picked up the tea and subconsciously covered himself up.
"My second sister is so lucky."
Shen Mi politely replied, "Thank you, cousin Wu."
Shen Mi walked to the seat next to Shen Li and sat down, deliberately asking: "Grandma, why didn't I see the eldest lady?"
Madam Shen said, "Discuss something with your cousin."
Shen Mi turned her head to look at Shen Li, and seeing her determined expression, she roughly guessed that she had rejected the marriage.
Shen Mi was holding the tea and saw Wu Zhongyao sitting opposite her drinking tea with his head down, glancing at her from time to time.
She thought of her previous life, when Wu Zhongyao was a complete drunkard, and she immediately came up with an idea.
Wu Zhongyao was originally summoned to the Shen residence by Lin because of his horoscope to bring good luck to old Madam Shen.
He was not a good person either. He loved wine and women. In his previous life, he almost killed Bai Xue because of his drunkenness.
Now, Lin wants to use the Wu family to marry Shen Li into the Wu family.
I'm afraid that marrying into the Wu family is fake, and the real purpose is to have other intentions.
How could she let Lin go when she was plotting against her and her elder sister?
Everyone in the front hall lowered their heads to drink tea. Old Madam Shen asked Wu Zhongyao about some situations. Not long after, Lin and Wang came in.
When Wang saw Shen Mi, she smiled and said, "This must be the second young lady in the mansion. She is so pretty. No wonder the prince wants to ask for an imperial decree to grant her marriage."
Shen Mi put down the teacup in her hand.
"Thank you for the compliment, aunt."
Wang sat down with a smile on her face. When she was chatting enthusiastically with Old Madam Shen and Lin, another figure appeared outside the front hall of the Shen Mansion.
Shen Shu came in from outside.
There were some ambiguous marks on her neck from her time with the prince.
The mark was very shallow, but Shen Mi could see it at a glance.
She looked at Shen Mi provocatively before walking to Lin's side and slowly sitting down.
"Mother, go slower, you still have Shu'er's unborn brother in your belly."
Lin stroked her belly with a smile on her face.
"Mother knows, you don't have to worry about it."
"Your grandmother has arranged several maids and servants to take care of you these days. She also provides you with the best food and drink. You will be fine."
Old Madam Shen on the side sighed.
"Now that Yuan'er is gone and you're pregnant, be careful and don't overwork yourself."
"Your belly contains our Yuan'er's last bloodline."
Shen Mi, who was standing aside, lowered his head with a hint of coldness on his lips.
I don’t know what will happen if Old Madam Shen finds out that the baby in Shen Shu and Lin’s belly is not the father’s biological child?
Just wait for these few days.
However, Shen Mi knew that although Madam Shen seemed to be less involved, her methods were actually ruthless and vicious, not even she was three times as bad as her.
When the old marquis was alive, Madam Shen could be considered a person who had come from a group of women.
He attaches great importance to a woman's chastity and the bloodline of the Shen family, and cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.
Lin touched her belly with a smile on her face and looked at Shen Mi with pride.
"Thank you for your concern, old lady. I will give birth to the Marquis's legitimate son safely."
Lin deliberately emphasized the word "legitimate son", fearing that Shen Mi and Shen Li would not be able to hear it.
Madam Shen said, "Li'er, go down and think about whether you are willing to marry into the Wu family. Come and talk to Grandmother when you have thought it through."
"Yes, grandmother."
Shen Mi also stood up and helped Shen Li up, "Sister, let's go back first."
With the support of Shen Mi, Shen Li went to Qingfeng Courtyard.
In Qingfeng Courtyard, Shen Mi applied medicine and bandaged Shen Li again, and only after that was she able to return to Lanyue Courtyard.
The door of the room in Lanyue Courtyard opened and Qinghe brought in a basin of water.
"Second miss."
She looked around and walked over to close the door.
"Second Miss, there is something I want to tell you. Should I tell you?"
