Lin Li came to the hall, and except for the eldest lady, no one else was there.

"Now that you are here, please sit down first. Master Meng was delayed by something in the court. Let's wait for a while. If you are hungry, you can have some snacks to fill your stomach."

"Yes," Lin Li found a chair and sat down, "What about father?"

My father was not feeling well and did not go to the palace.

"Master Li and his friends have made an appointment with your father to have tea and play chess. They probably forgot the time. I have sent someone to invite them."

I picked up a piece of dessert. I was indeed a little hungry. Such a big family cannot be supported without the eldest lady. It can be seen that not everyone can be the mid laner.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Lin Li finally had dinner. Her back and waist ached from sitting so hard. In front of the eldest lady, she could only sit upright. As the saying goes, one should sit like a bell and stand like a pine.

The elders couldn't help but exchange a few pleasantries, and Lin Li could only nod repeatedly. The two families were old friends, so she and Meng Ping had known each other since childhood.

Meng Ping looked like a scholar, polite and clean, but he was not the type Lin Li liked.

He was the top scholar in the past few years. He now works in the palace, assisting his father. The kidnapping of Lin Li by the bandits was also related to him.

The two of them didn't talk much, they just sat and had dinner, and later, they drank tea and had snacks together under the moon. The two families talked, and it was obvious that they wanted Lin Li and Meng Ping to get married quickly to shut up the gossipers.

Even though it was her own wedding, Lin Li had no interest in such occasions. Her thoughts had long drifted far away, and it was Meng Ping who pulled her back.

"Sister Lin, I haven't visited the night view of the Lin Mansion yet. Could you please take me for a walk?"

Naturally, the adults from both families had no objection and were very happy for the two of them to be alone together.

Lin Li was finally able to get up and stretch her body. Her waist was so stiff from sitting that she couldn't move. In front of her elders, she had to pretend to be well-educated and well-mannered. Lin Li couldn't wait to leave this place of trouble.

There were maids and guards following the two of them. Lin Li moved her sore neck. After returning, she was afraid that she would need Zhu'er to massage her shoulders.

"Sister Lin, we have already understood each other's affairs tacitly. Don't worry, I will treat you well after we get married. It's just that," Meng Ping paused and looked at the maid behind him.

Lin Li understood and asked them to step back. The two of them walked forward a few steps. The moonlight was like a hook, reflected in the pond.

The gentle breeze blew away Lin Li's discomfort.

"Master Meng, if you have anything to say, just say it. No one will disturb you now."

"I have been married to my first wife for three years. My father means that you are equal to her. I wonder what you mean?"

"Of course." Lin Li didn't care at all about his identity. Meng Ping and his wife were in love, so why not Lin Li just treat it as a favor? Anyway, she would just live in a daze in this life.

At least in the Meng Mansion, one can live in peace and comfort.

Since Meng Ranyue is in the Lin Mansion, Xie Yu naturally won't go anywhere else. He will just stay with his lady, and in the future, he will live in the palace.

Marrying into the Meng family, far away from Xie Yu, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, no one is close to anyone else, and everyone is free.

Meng Ping had not expected that Lin Li, a proud lady, would agree so readily. "Don't you feel that I have treated you unfairly?"

"Our marriage can be said to be forced, so I don't have any expectations for this marriage," Lin Li quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Life only lasts for a short time, but she hasn't met the man she loves. It's really sad.

"I hope that after I marry you, you will find me a remote yard where I can live my life freely."

Meng Ping's heart was finally at ease. The two of them hit it off and there was no need to worry about anything else.

"Of course, if you don't want to keep idle people in your house, I can also go out and open a shop to support myself. The important thing is that I don't want to have any entanglement with your wife or concubine."

Lin Li is not the kind of person who would just eat and wait for death. She cannot ask others for money. Anyway, she has some pocket money, so it is feasible for her to start a small business.
