After hearing this, the Qi couple were slightly stunned, and Qi Zeshen was even more surprised.

He did not expect Lin Ruoxuan to make such a suggestion, but after thinking about it, he felt that this method could indeed solve the problem completely.

He quickly regained his composure and nodded: "Eighth Miss's suggestion is indeed a good idea."

After hearing this, Lin Shiyuan and Sun Rong nodded secretly, thinking that this method was indeed reasonable.

Sun Rong's tone softened a little: "Since the Qi family is willing to do this, then it is an explanation to our Lin family."

But Lin Ruoxuan was clearly not satisfied: "There are many relatives in the Qi family who want to marry Miss Zhang. Whether they are distant relatives or close relatives, there will always be someone willing to marry Miss Zhang. If there are no relatives in the Qi family who are willing to marry Miss Zhang, then the relatives of the Lin family can also consider taking over. After all, a closer relationship is also a happy event."

After listening to her sister's words, Lin Ruoxue knew that what her sister said made sense. She also knew that her sister was trying to get the maximum protection for herself. While she was moved, she also secretly admired her wit.

Madam Qi and Lord Qi looked at each other and immediately expressed their opinions: "The Eighth Miss's suggestion is very good. We will definitely not let Ruoxue suffer any injustice."

Lin Ruoxuan added, "But everything has a deadline, so let's set it at five days. If you don't take care of Miss Zhang's affairs during this period, how can we trust you to protect Big Sister in the future?"

Qi Zeshen once again solemnly promised: "I will handle this matter properly as soon as possible so that Ruoxue will have no worries."

Lin Shiyuan and Sun Rong then revealed a look of satisfaction.

Lotus Sun sighed, "Since you are so sincere, our Lin family is not unreasonable. As long as the matter can be handled properly, I hope you will not let us down."

The three members of the Qi family said goodbye again and left the Lin family.

The inner courtyard of the Qi family.

Mrs. Qi was a little upset, but she had to suppress her emotions.

She cleared her throat and told the maid standing beside her, "Go and call Miss Zhang in."

The maid quickly retreated after receiving the order, and soon Zhang Jia was led into the hall.

She walked in lightly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"Madam, are you looking for me?" Zhang Jia walked in with a calm expression, lowered his head slightly, and acted respectful.

But from her slightly expectant eyes, it can be seen that she thinks that today the Qi family will announce the good news that she will become Qi Zeshen's concubine.

"We came to you today to tell you something important."

Madam Qi spoke slowly, her tone gentle but distant, "We have decided to adopt you as our goddaughter, and have chosen a good family for you. He is my distant nephew, who serves in the army. He has a kind personality and a clean family background, and is a perfect match for you."

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Jia's expression changed immediately, and a hint of shock flashed across his eyes.

"Madam," Zhang Jia's voice was obviously full of resistance. She raised her head with tears in her eyes, "I thank you and the master for your kindness, but I'm afraid I can't accept this marriage."

The Qi couple looked at each other and their faces darkened.

"I only follow the old lady's arrangements. When she brought me into the Qi Mansion, she clearly said that she wanted me to be the young master's concubine. I dare not disobey in any way."

Madam Qi emphasized once again: "We will take you in as our goddaughter and find you a decent family to be your legal wife. Isn't this better than being a concubine?"

Zhang Jia's expression suddenly turned cold. She was unwilling to give up. The Qi family was a wealthy and prominent family, but the family that Madam Qi found for her to marry was just an ordinary citizen. How could she give up so easily?

She gritted her teeth and raised her voice slightly: "I only listen to the old lady's arrangements. She said I should be the young master's concubine, so I must do it."

Mrs. Qi was already feeling a little impatient, and her voice was slightly warning: "Zhang Jia, if you are smart, you should know when to advance and when to retreat."

A cold light flashed in Zhang Jia's eyes. Her hands trembled slightly. She whispered, "I won't give in! I will only follow the old lady's arrangements. I will definitely be your concubine!"

Qi Zeshen's face had become extremely gloomy, and he said in a cold voice: "Miss Zhang, if you agree to your mother's arrangement, the Qi family will help you in the future and will not let you suffer any grievances. But if you don't know what's good for you, the Qi family won't have to keep you."

Hearing this, a hint of madness suddenly flashed across Zhang Jia's eyes. She suddenly pulled out a shining dagger from her sleeve and pointed it at her abdomen without hesitation.

Before the Qi family could react, they heard a muffled groan. Zhang Jia had already covered the wound with one hand. Blood flowed out from between her fingers, staining her dress red.

"I must be your concubine! If you don't agree, I would rather die here!" Zhang Jia's voice was extremely determined and there was madness in her eyes.

Madam Qi turned pale with fear and quickly stepped forward to stop him, saying in a hurried tone: "You are crazy! Put down the dagger!"

She couldn't believe what she saw, and a huge fear surged in her heart.

Qi Zeshen was so frightened by Zhang Jia's behavior that he took a step back, his brows furrowed and his eyes full of shock.

"Hurry, hurry and call the doctor!" Mrs. Qi shouted in panic, and hurriedly ordered the servants to ask the doctor to treat the patient.

Zhang Jia's extreme behavior was completely beyond her expectations.

Zhang Jia covered her abdomen, her whole body was shaky, her face gradually turned pale, but she still stood there stubbornly.

She repeated in a weak voice: "I will not give in. Even if I die, I will be your concubine."

Qi Zeshen was speechless at this point. He had never expected things to develop to this point.

Seeing the blood continuously flowing out of Zhang Jia's body, he felt uneasy.

He was not a soft-hearted person, but he also understood that if Zhang Jia really died in the Qi family, the consequences would be disastrous.

Madam Qi suppressed her inner panic, calmed down, and hurriedly ordered: "Quick, carry her to the room first."

Soon, the doctor rushed over and the Qi family carried Zhang Jia into the house for treatment. The scene was in chaos.

The Qi couple and Qi Zeshen stood aside, their eyes full of panic.

Mrs. Qi reproached in a low voice: "This girl is simply crazy!"

Qi Zeshen said nothing, feeling extremely frightened.

After some emergency treatment, the doctor finally bandaged Zhang Jia's wound. Fortunately, no internal organs were injured.

After Madam Qi calmed down, she said, "Ze Shen, the Lin family's attitude is very tough. It has come to this point. We must explain the situation to the Lin family."

Qi Zeshen nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation.

Afterwards, the Qi couple took Qi Zeshen and hurried to the Lin family.

Lin.

When Mrs. Qi arrived, she did not exchange pleasantries but hurriedly told the story of Zhang Jia.

After hearing this, Lin Shiyuan and Sun Rong's faces did not look very good.
