Rebirth of the Unruly Little Demon of the Boliang Guard

Chapter 51: Choosing a Day for Marriage

It seemed like a long time had passed, and the newly opened flowers had been hit by both rain and sun, and were beating their heads sickly.

When Lin Li came out, she looked like her soul had been sucked away. She had no energy at all. If Yuzhu hadn't supported her in time, Lin Li would have fallen to the ground due to her weak legs.

"What should I do? How about I ask the second master to come and see the young lady?" Zhou Yue could only worry and had no other options.

Yuzhu looked embarrassed, "Let's forget it. Although the Second Master is the eldest lady's biological son, he doesn't understand the situation. I have asked Zhu'er to find Guard Xie. I believe he will find a solution when he comes."

They all knew everything about Lin Li and Xie Yu.

"you are sick?"

Zhou Yue pursed her lips. After something like this happened, she didn't know if the young lady would still drink the medicine. "It was the Second Master who said that the young lady looked unwell, so he asked me to bring it back and boil it for her to drink."

"Since it is the Second Master's order, you can go and boil the medicine first. I will serve you here."

"Yes."

Zhu'er almost ran back, gasping for breath. Yuzhu held her and looked behind, but there was no sign of Guard Xie. In the past, Guard Xie would come immediately at such times, but today was different.

"Where's Guard Xie?"

"Qingqing said that Guard Xie has returned to the Meng Mansion. He was sent by Master Meng to do some work and will not be back for a few days."

Yuzhu looked at Zhu'er with a look of disappointment, stamping her feet anxiously, "You don't even know who Qingqing is, how could she possibly tell the truth? She must be setting you up."

"I know that too, so I went to look for Guard Xie where he lived."

"what's the result?"

“I really didn’t see anyone.”

The last straw of life cannot be found. If Guard Xie really takes a few days to come back, what should the young lady do?

The sun gradually set, and a faint pink color appeared on the horizon. Almost the entire sky was pink.

The sunlight shines through the sparse clouds, onto the earth and into every corner.

Yuzhu gritted her teeth and pushed open the door of Lin Li's room. The room was pitch black because there was no light in it.

"Miss, it's getting late. It's time for dinner." Yuzhu lit a candle and could barely see the person lying in He Yi's clothes on the bed.

Lin Li cried, "I'm not hungry, please go out first and don't come again. I want to be alone."

"Miss, I have asked Zhu'er to go find Guard Xie. As soon as he comes back, he will definitely come to see you. He hasn't returned yet. He must be stuck with other things."

"Let Zhu'er come back." It was estimated that Xie Yu would not be able to come tonight. Lin Li heard everything they said outside the house clearly. "It's not safe for a woman to be alone at night."

"Miss, can you tell me what happened? Although I am stupid, I will find a way to solve it for you. Yuzhu is powerless, and Zhuer and Zhouyue are on your side."

"Forget it." Lin Li lay on the bed, motionless.

No one could solve this problem. Lin Li had already given up hope. He thought that if he could please Xie Yu, the future emperor, he could rest easy in the future.

Unexpectedly, there would be other problems. Lin Li wanted to face them head-on, but she was too tired. She didn't know if taking the initiative would lead to different results.

"Miss, as the saying goes, if an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. No matter what happens, it will eventually pass. Don't thank me too much."

"I hope it's OK, too," Lin Li let out a long sigh. "I'm really tired and need to rest. Go out and tell them not to disturb me."

"But Miss, you haven't eaten for a day and you are starving. What should you do?"

Lin Li didn't respond to the next words, so Yuzhu had no choice but to have someone put the food on the table and heat it up every once in a while.

~~

As night falls, the stars twinkle in the sky, and the moon is no longer hanging lonely and desolate in the sky.

Zhu'er was in Xie Yu's yard at this moment, waiting for him to come back. Originally, Zhu'er wanted to wait for him at the door, but it was too conspicuous, so she chose to wait for Xie Yu here.

Xie Yu was the only person living in the whole yard. The fallen leaves were blown everywhere by the wind, making a terrifying rustling sound. Zhu'er huddled into a ball. If she had known this would happen, she should have brought a dragon lantern with her, and she wouldn't have been so scared.

Yuzhu was worried about Zhu'er being alone, so she asked Zhou Yue to go and bring her back. It was so late, Guard Xie probably wouldn't be back, so it would be better to let Zhu'er come back and go tomorrow.

Zhou Yue held the lantern and called Zhu'er's name several times, then followed the voice and found Zhu'er, "Sister Yuzhu asked you to go back and come back tomorrow."

"How is the lady?" Suddenly there was someone beside me, and I was not so scared anymore.

"Still the same, staying in the room and not saying anything."

The outside world was quiet, as if it was asleep. The food had already grown cold. Lin Li sent Yuzhu and the others to rest, so they no longer had to wait here.

Sitting on the stool by the window, all I could think about was what the eldest lady had said.

"You are back safely now, but there are always some rumors outside."

Lin Li knew that there was no wall in the world that was not completely ventilated. Not only were there rumors outside, but there were also rumors inside the Lin Mansion. Even the way they looked at Lin Li was very strange.

A weak woman was abducted by robbers and bandits, and then brought back safely. Rumors and gossips have already given rise to many versions of the story.

Although few people knew that Lin Li was missing, the news would eventually spread and truth would eventually come out.

At that time, Lin Li did not consider this and was only thinking about coming back with Xie Yu.

"Madam, please tell me what you mean. Lin Li really doesn't understand."

"Of course I believe in your innocence. Even those who spread rumors in the mansion have been punished by me."

In other words, others doubted Lin Li's innocence and would not believe that a weak woman could escape from bandits and hooligans.

Perhaps, they were tired of playing with them, so they were willing to let the people go. After all, the bandits did not ask for more ransom from the Lin family.

"Your marriage with Young Master Wang has been put on hold for the time being. The Wang Mansion is willing to arrange a wedding with the Lin Mansion." The eldest lady has already contacted many people and used a lot of connections, but still failed to save the situation.

Lin Li was at a loss for a moment, her palms were sweaty, "Since Prince Wang has already promised me, he won't go back on his word."

This is just what Lin Li said to comfort herself.

Wang Yangzhi was outside the Great Wall and didn't know many things going on in the capital. As the saying goes, marriages are decided by parents and matchmakers since ancient times. If the head of the palace disagreed, Wang Yangzhi would be powerless to refute it.

"Besides, even if things don't work out with Prince Wang, there's still Xie Yu. He won't care about rumors."

The eldest lady stood up and said, "Just because he didn't say it doesn't mean he didn't have any complaints in his heart. In addition, Grandpa Meng said that he would personally find a woman worthy of Guard Xie, and then marry him in a grand ceremony."

Yes, people’s hearts are hidden. Xie Yu was able to become emperor not only by force but also by political schemes. Sometimes, Xie Yu hid very deeply and Lin Li could not guess his thoughts.

"So, who does the First Lady want me to marry?"

Now that things have come to this, Lin Li can no longer act crazy or stupid.

"The second son of the Meng family, Meng Ping."

"What?" Lin Li really didn't understand. "Mr. Meng looked down on me, so why did he agree to let his son marry me?"

"Although he has a problem with you, the bandits came because of the Meng family, so they are responsible for this matter. If you can't get married, then someone from the Meng family will have to marry you."

"In that case, Xie Yu is also from the Meng family, so why can't it be Xie Yu?"

"After all, a foster father is just a foster father, not a biological father."

Lin Li sneered in her heart. That's right. How could Master Meng let Xie Yu marry a woman with a stain on her?

Meng Ping had already married and had children, and had many concubines. If Lin Li married him, she would only be a concubine.

And this is already a blessing. In this period, what other choices do women who have lost their innocence have?

"What if I don't marry?"

"You have no choice. Your father and Mr. Meng have already agreed. Meng Ping has also agreed. Tomorrow, the betrothal gifts will be sent over and we will choose a date for the wedding."
