From an old woman back to a young girl, she vowed never to marry into a marquisate

Tang family, Changfeng Courtyard.

Lin was drinking medicine when she saw Tang Wanru's silhouette walking past the window. She immediately pushed the bowl out of Xu Qing's hand and said deliberately, "It's so bitter. Don't drink the rest and throw it away."

Xu Qing was stunned when he heard this. He had always taken this medicine well, why did he suddenly find it bitter today? Today's medicine contained the newly brought Wu Ling by the eldest lady, how could he not drink it?

"Madam, the eldest lady has instructed that you must drink this medicine."

"Oh, does she keep her word?" Liu sneered, "She said before that she and the second son of the Bai family were just a business relationship, but she really married herself off in the end."

Xu Qing was confused after hearing this: "That was a marriage granted by the Emperor, there is nothing the young lady can do about it."

"She didn't say a word before the marriage was granted!" Lin was resentful about this matter. Her mother didn't even notice that she really wanted to get married.

What kind of mother is she?

Tang Wanru heard it all clearly outside and she couldn't help laughing. Her mother was not refusing to take medicine, she was deliberately angry with her.

Tang Wanru didn't get angry and just opened the door.

Seeing Tang Wanru coming, Xu Qing said with some embarrassment: "Miss."

Tang Wanru smiled and said, "You go out first, I'll do it."

Xu Qing nodded, put down the medicine and went out.

Lin said, "Ru'er has grown up, and even mother can't figure out your thoughts. Well, I'm not in good health, and I can't make decisions about my daughter's affairs."

Looking at her, Tang Wanru smiled. She picked up the spoon and fed the medicine into Lin's mouth.

Lin was stunned and was about to speak, but she heard Tang Wanru say, "You can be angry, but you have to take the medicine. This medicine came from a very difficult source. If you don't take it, my marriage will be in vain."

Marry in vain?

Lin was stunned.

"That's right." Tang Wanru said, "A very important ingredient in the medicine comes from the Bai family, and currently only the Bai family has it."

Lin's heart tightened: "Did you marry into the Bai family because of this medicine?"

Seeing that she looked very serious, Tang Wanru didn't want to add psychological pressure to her, so she smiled and said, "Not really."

"You also know that marrying into the Bai family was really an accident. I had no idea that His Majesty would grant me the marriage. I was also confused that day. So I didn't deliberately hide my relationship with Bai Yanli from you. It was His Majesty who suddenly granted me the marriage, catching me off guard."

By now, Lin felt better.

"Mom, you also know that since the emperor has granted the marriage, it is not easy to cancel it. I cannot cancel it with my current ability. It is better to accept the emperor's consent first and see how it develops later."

It turned out to be the case.

Lin didn't know why the emperor suddenly granted the marriage, but she understood Tang Wanru.

Seeing that the door was closed and no one was outside, Lin took the medicine bowl from Tang Wanru's hand and drank it all, then said, "Wanru, I think the Bai family can really marry!"

Ah.

Tang Wanru was startled when she heard this. Her mother seemed unwilling just now, but now she has changed her mind?

"Wanru, I heard from your uncle." Lin said seriously, "The court has been in turmoil recently. There may be a big turmoil soon. It is hard to say whether the court officials will be implicated, and it is even harder to say who will be implicated. Mother only hopes that you will be safe in this life. The Bai family is a pure merchant family. This catastrophe will definitely not involve them. So from this point of view, mother thinks it is good for you to marry into the Bai family."

Seeing Lin's sincere expression, Tang Wanru smiled and said, "Mom, you are right. I really have no interest in the court. It would be good to marry into the Bai family."

Lin nodded. She originally thought that she had fallen into the trap of the second son of the Bai family, but she didn't expect that Tang Wanru also had her own ideas, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"But mother, although I have no interest in the court, there is someone who is willing to marry into the court." Tang Wanru's eyes flickered and she said, "We must help her."

Someone who has always wanted to marry into the imperial court?

Lin suddenly remembered that after Liu entered the mansion, Tang Yue'er had been flirting with the young men of the imperial court.

Lin suddenly realized something and looked at Tang Wanru: "What you mean is..."

Tang Wanru nodded.

Tang Mansion, Qingyu Courtyard.

"Mom, is there any news?" As soon as Liu came in, Tang Yue'er came up to her and said, this concerned her reputation, how could she not be anxious?

This time it was Liu who was in a low mood. She sat on the edge of the bed, not saying a word.

"Mom, tell me!" Tang Yue'er asked. No matter what, there must be an explanation for this matter.

"Yuer." Liu looked at Tang Yueer in embarrassment and couldn't say anything.

Tang Yueer became even more anxious: "Mom, what happened?"

Liu said, "Your father said he wanted to marry his daughter to the Yongning Marquis's mansion."

Tang Yue'er's eyes lit up: "Is he still going to find a way to get Tang Wanru to marry him?"

So, there is still hope for her?

"No." Liu sighed, "Your father wants you to marry!"

There was a loud "boom" in Tang Yue'er's head, and she stood up suddenly. She looked at Liu in shock as if she had been struck by lightning, "Mom, you, are you kidding me?"

She, she married?

Tang Yue'er felt weak all over, as if her heart was empty. She lost her balance and fell directly onto the bed. "Why, why did he want me to marry him? Didn't Prince Zhou always seek Tang Wanru?"

"Don't mention it." Liu said, "It was all that Tang Wanru who gave your father bad advice. She said that since the rumors about you and Master Zhou are out of control now, it would be better to take the initiative and marry you to the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, so that Master Zhou can take the responsibility."

Tang Yue'er's mind was now blank. She almost didn't hear what Liu said. She suddenly grabbed Liu's hand and said, "Mother, I can't get married. You know the situation of Yongning Marquis' Mansion. If I get married, once the Marquis' Mansion is convicted, I will have to suffer with them. Can I endure the suffering of imprisonment and exile? I won't go. I absolutely won't go!"

How could Liu not know this?

She comforted her: "Yuer, don't be anxious."

"How can I not be anxious?" Tang Yue'er's face turned purple. She didn't understand how this matter developed. How come Tang Wanru was going to marry into the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, but now she was going to marry into the Marquis' Mansion?

What part went wrong?

"It would be better for me to die early than to marry her. She wants to force me to death, right?" Tang Yue'er asked with bloodshot eyes, "Is Tang Wanru going to force her own sister to death like this?"

Liu felt that Tang Wanru's move was a bit too cruel.

But it won’t lead to death.

"Yuer, don't get excited yet. Not to mention that you haven't even started to marry into the Yongning Marquis's Mansion yet, even if you are really unlucky enough to marry there, you won't die." Liu said, "The road will naturally become straight when you reach the bridgehead, just take it one step at a time, and the most critical step has not been taken yet."

"Even if your father wants to marry you to the Yongning Marquisate, the Marquisate may not agree. If Prince Zhou insists that he doesn't want you, your father won't be able to do anything about it."

Hearing this, Tang Yueer felt a little relieved.

"Let him do whatever he wants." Liu said, "As long as you and Prince Zhou agree that one of you doesn't want to marry the other, there won't be much of a problem."

After hearing what Liu said, Tang Yue'er nodded.
