Cheng Yi listened to Xu Jinwen's question, took a sip of his tea, and said with his hands: "It's a fake."

"Can it be changed?" Xu Jinwen raised his eyebrows.

Tang Hongfei raised his hand and slapped Xu Jinwen on the head and said: "Stop making trouble, do as the fourth brother said, you wait here, I will go to Lu's mansion to find Xiaorou, first let's see what Master Lu has in mind Let’s figure it out, and we’ll make plans later.”

After finishing speaking, Tang Hongfei picked up his captive cap, turned and left.

Just as Tang Hongfei walked away, Cheng Yi stood up slowly.

"Fourth brother, what are you doing?" Xu Jinwen raised his head and asked.

"It's almost noon, I'll go back to have a meal, and I'll come over after the meal." After saying that, Cheng Yi cupped his hands at the crowd, and walked out slowly.

Xu Jinwen waited for Cheng Yi to leave and said: "Fourth brother used eating as an excuse again, who doesn't know that he went back to find Liniang, after all, they have been married for a while, and they are still like glue."

"That said, I'm hungry too, and I'm going back to eat." Zhu Fugui hurriedly left after saying that.

Xu Jinwen was so angry that he gritted his teeth, bullying him for not having a wife, right?

At this time, a banquet was held in the Nuan Pavilion of the Yuan Family. Shen Zhongnan and the tea merchant Yuan Bingchun chatted happily. , I would like to take the liberty to ask, when Brother Yuan mentioned that he wanted to betroth Ling Qianjin to my son during the Yanghe, is it still counting today?"

Yuan Bingchun's eyes lit up when he heard the words. After many days, he thought the matter was over. Now that his business is in trouble and he needs the support of the Shen family, how can he not be overjoyed?

"It's a blessing for my little girl to be Shen's wife, how can my little brother not be counted!"

"Okay!" Shen Zhongnan patted the table, "You and I changed posts today and set a wedding date, and tomorrow I will send a matchmaker to come and make an appointment."

Yuan Bingchun was shocked when he saw that the matter went so smoothly, and felt that it was unusual.

"Brother Shen, why are you in such a hurry? Your son should always be there when we get engaged." Yuan Bingchun felt that this matter was strange. Could it be that something happened to Shen's son, which made his daughter happy?

"I will send him when the appointment is made tomorrow." Shen Zhongnan's eyes were stark, seeing Yuan Bingchun's concerns, he opened his mouth to dispel Yuan Bingchun's worries.

Yuan Bingchun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, as long as he is not half dead, the Shen family has a great career, even if the husband is not successful, as long as he gives birth to a son, he can live well for the rest of his life.

"In this case, we will call in-laws." Yuan Bingchun arched his hands and said with a smile.

Shen Zhongnan smiled, and replied: "Dear old man."

"So, please come to my Yuan family's study and write posts to each other as evidence." Yuan Bingchun stood up with a happy face.

"So, please, my dear." Shen Zhongnan followed suit and stood up.

The two walked out while talking.

"Master!" The maid walking on the road saluted Yuan Bingchun.

Yuan Bingchun nodded slightly, and looked sideways at Shen Zhongnan with his hands behind his back: "In-laws, I don't know what date of marriage you want?"

The little maid at the front paid attention when she heard the words, and slowed down while holding the lady's winter clothes.

Shen Zhongnan went up the corridor and said, "The fifteenth day of the first month of the year."

"What?" Yuan Bingchun was startled, "So urgent?

"My son is not young and has nothing to do all day long. As the saying goes, get married first and then start a career. I want him to get married as soon as possible so that he can go into the shop and look at the business." Shen Zhongnan explained with a smile. Anger in my heart, the Lu family married a daughter on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and his Shen family got married on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, let's see who can make the most of the excitement!

"What my father-in-law said is also reasonable. The son-in-law should calm down." Yuan Bingchun said, smiled and stretched out his right hand, making a gesture of invitation, leading Shen Zhongnan to the study.

The little girl turned her head and saw her master turning into the corridor, she hurriedly carried her clothes to the embroidery building.

"Miss, miss, it's not good." The little servant girl hurried upstairs, pushed open the door of the lady's boudoir, held the winter clothes, and ran to the lady's bed panting.

"What? But did Lin Lang reply?" Yuan Ruilan sat up with her hands on her stomach, her face full of panic.

"No, it was the servant girl who went to fetch winter clothes for the miss. On the way back, I met the master and the master of the Shen family in Dongyu Lane. Miss, the master promised you to the young master of the Shen family."

"What?" Yuan Ruilan's complexion was burnt yellow, and she pressed her hands tightly on her abdomen, "You said my father betrothed me to the Shen family in Dongyu Lane?"

"Yes, ma'am."

"What about the Lin family? Didn't Lin Lang say that his father came to the house to propose marriage as soon as he came back? The Lin family is an official, so can't they compete with the Shen family? Why would my father promise my life to a ruffian." Yuan Ruilan's eyes were blank, as if he had lost his soul.

"Miss, there is one more thing. On the way to get the winter clothes from Biyuxuan, I heard that the Lin family has married the Lu family. Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin is going to marry Miss Lu's family, and he never came to our house to propose marriage."

Yuan Ruilan reacted when she heard the words, and suddenly raised her head to look at her maid.

"What did you say? The Lin family didn't come to propose a marriage. How could this be so? He clearly knew that I was pregnant with his child. How could he, how could he marry someone else? He said he was responsible for me." Yuan Ruilan held on tightly On the quilt, tears fell one by one.

"My body was given to him a long time ago, how can I marry someone else, besides, I have the flesh and blood of his Lin family in my belly." Yuan Ruilan hurriedly went down to the ground as she spoke, holding the maid's hand and said: "Xiaoying, help me, I will help you." If I don’t marry the Lin family like this, I will die if someone finds out, I can’t wait for him to reply or not, you help me go to the Lin family and ask him to meet at Fahua Temple tomorrow, I want to see him.”

"Miss, you go to bed and lie down first, and this servant will deliver the message." After saying that, Xiaoying put down her oversized winter coat, turned around and ran out.

Yuan Ruilan fell on the bed, turned around and threw herself on the quilt, crying loudly.In such a field now, how could she not regret it, she shouldn't have handed over her body just like that, now she is pregnant and worried all day long, and the person who keeps saying she is responsible is going to marry someone else.

On the other side, Tang Hongfei went to the magistrate's yamen, sneaked to the second hall, entrusted a little maid, called Xiaorou, and straight to the point: "Xiaorou, what is Master Lu concerned about now?"

Xiaorou looked around and saw no one, so she said anxiously: "After learning that the master promised to the Lin family, my young lady slammed into the wall and refused to marry. Right now, she is bluffing the old man, but I don't know what the result will be. My young lady has already made up her mind on this matter." , Mr. Shen has to find a way to do something, otherwise even if my young lady persuades the master, it will be useless if the master of the Shen family does not agree."

Tang Hongfei was shocked and respected when he heard the words, Master Lu hit the wall and refused to marry, which shows his true love for Mancang.

"Xiaorou, take good care of Mrs. Lu, we'll find a solution with Uncle Shen." Tang Hongfei said and turned to leave.

At the same time, Shen Zhongnan and Yuan Bingchun had exchanged posts, left Yuan's house and sat in a sedan chair and went home directly.

"Master." Seeing Shen Zhongnan's return, Mrs. Shen hurriedly stepped forward, "Master, you know Mancang's temperament. Mancang is already very sad for Lu's refusal to marry him. If he knew that Master wanted to find another marriage for him, he would I can't bear it, can you slow down for a while?"

"Ma'am, the longer this matter drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for him. Get married early so that you can forget about the old relationship." Shen Zhongnan walked towards the backyard as he spoke, "Besides, I have already exchanged posts with the Yuan family. His Lu family married on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Daughter, my Shen family got married on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and since then, we will never see each other again."

Mrs. Shen stopped her pace when she heard the words, and looked at the back of Shen Zhongnan hurriedly heading towards the small courtyard.

"Hey." Mrs. Shen sighed softly, leaning on the stone pillars on the bridge in the backyard, looking at a pool of withered and yellow lotus leaves, and murmured: "It's so good to be forced to marry, how can I bear the younger generation to follow in the footsteps of you?" .”

Shen Zhongnan hurriedly opened the door of his son's room, only to see his son lying on the bed with his hands and feet bound.

When Shen Wenchang saw his father, he hurriedly struggled: "Father!"

Shen Zhongnan let his son struggle on the bed, walked over slowly, found a stool and sat down, and said slowly: "Mancang, not everything in this world goes smoothly, as a father, I want to fulfill you, but Lu The family looks down on our Shen family. If you are my son, you must have a backbone. You must know that this marriage is definitely not something that can be obtained by begging and begging on your knees. Miss, the Yuan family and Uncle Xu's family are distant cousins, you must not lose face to your uncle, do you understand?"

Shen Wenchang closed her eyes as early as Shen Zhongnan said that she had arranged for Miss Yuan's family for her. At this moment, she felt very tired, as if she had exhausted her whole life, but she could not get what she wanted after all.

"I have already made an appointment with your father-in-law. I will hire you tomorrow. You can rest today and go to Yuan's house early tomorrow morning. If you dare to make trouble for Weifu, it seems that Weifu doesn't plan on your legs." Shen Zhongnan said. Standing up, "It's hard for you to think about it alone. I'll send someone to untie you during dinner."

Shen Wenchang kept his eyes closed from the beginning to the end, without saying a word, Shen Zhongnan felt angry suddenly, thinking about going to Yuan's family to propose a marriage tomorrow, he suppressed the anger, shook his sleeves and left.

Shen Wenchang heard the sound of the door, slowly opened his eyes, turned over and rolled out of bed, when he landed on the ground, his knee touched the pedal, bent his leg in pain, lay on the ground for a while, climbed onto the table, knelt up, and He sipped the edge of the tea cup, then flicked it, and with a bang, the tea cup fell to the ground and shattered.

Shen Wenchang turned around, picked up the fragments with the hands tied behind his back, sat on the ground and began to cut the hemp rope.She can't compromise anymore, she can't watch Yiyi marry someone else, Yiyi can only be hers, she wants to elope with Yiyi, go far away.

She cut off the hemp rope in her hands, and hurriedly cut off the ones on her feet, then threw the pieces on the ground, turned around and took the burden, wrapped two pieces of clothes casually, brought some pieces of silver, opened the door, and jumped out of the sink. The door wall of the house, go to Lu's house.

In the Lu family, Lu Qingyi's dizziness improved a lot after drinking the medicine, and Mother Lu took good care of her daughter by the bedside.

"Go to sleep peacefully. Your father said that you will go to Lin's family to retire tomorrow, and mother will take you to Fahua Temple tomorrow to ask Buddha to bless you." Master Lu said, holding his daughter's hand distressedly.

"Thank you, mother." Lu Qingyi heard that her father was going to retire again tomorrow, mixed with joy and sorrow, and hoped that the Lin family would not force others to make things difficult.

"Hey, listen to your mother, close your eyes and go to sleep. The dinner mother will make you some soup to make up for it. Tomorrow, when you are in good spirits, mother can rest assured to take you out of the house." Mrs. Lu stroked her daughter's hair, She has never dared to touch the bag on her forehead, seeing her daughter like this, how can she feel pain in her mother's heart.

Lu Qingyi smiled at her mother when she heard the words, and slowly closed her eyes. She really couldn't hold it anymore. Today she felt that kind of despair again. In despair, she had no choice but to die. She didn't know what would happen next. She just If you can guarantee that the Lin family will leave, you will be alive, and if you can't leave, you will die.
