The capital is a melon field, I happily eat melons

Chapter 79 Brother-in-law and Sister-in-law

Lin Mo's angry rebuke of the scumbag became famous in Beijing.

It can be said that she has new things to tell other people every day.

"I say, can you be more low-key in the future? Look at your reputation in the capital. Other girls are known for being gentle, virtuous, talented and beautiful. What is your reputation? You are unruly and uninhibited! Which girl has the reputation of being unruly and uninhibited!"

Minister Lin detained Lin Mo at home and gave him a lecture.

Lin Mo knelt on the ground with a dull expression on her face. People who didn't know her might think she was listening very seriously, but in fact, her mind had already flown away to who knows where.

[System, you said there are many melons by the lake. Apart from the one named Xu Luobin, what are the other melons? My dad is lecturing me here and I am feeling bored. Tell me now.]

Minister Lin's voice paused, but soon returned to normal.

Did this damn girl listen to what he said?

System: [Okay, but you may not know those people. It’s all your fault that you left early. Otherwise, I could have pointed at them and asked you to eat melons together.]

[Ms. Chen from a wealthy merchant in the north of the city is out traveling with her brother-in-law. Her sister is pregnant now, so she wants to take advantage of this opportunity.]

Lin Mo took a deep breath in his heart and was extremely surprised, [Is she okay? She actually stole my sister's boyfriend! Is that guy good? A man who can be seduced at this time must not be good! ]

Minister Lin sat on a chair pretending to drink tea and take a rest, but in fact his ears were perked up.

The servants below, some sweeping the floor, some wiping things, all came over quietly.

System: [That Miss Chen and her elder sister are half-sisters. Her elder sister was born to the previous wife, and she was born to the second wife, so she has always disliked her elder sister. Moreover, her elder sister married well, marrying into the family of a sixth-rank official.]

Lin Mo frowned with doubts in his heart, [She can choose someone with a good family background, why does she have to keep an eye on her brother-in-law? ]

The servants outside also nodded vigorously, yes, yes, why must you choose your brother-in-law when you can choose a good one.

My sister was able to marry into a family of officials from a wealthy merchant family, so logically speaking, Miss Chen should not be much worse off.

The system laughed sarcastically: [Her elder sister is kind and virtuous and has a good reputation in the capital, so she was able to marry into an official family from a wealthy merchant family. Miss Chen has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child. She likes to compare with her elder sister in everything, but she is not as good as her elder sister in everything, so she wants to snatch her brother-in-law away. Anyway, she wants everything that her elder sister has.]

When Lin Mo heard this, he wanted to hit someone. How could there be such a despicable person!

Lin Mo suddenly thought of herself. She also had a sister.

[This Miss Chen is really sick. She has to rob things to use them, right? She may not like what her sister likes. Just like my sister likes poetry and books, but I don’t like those things. To me, those things are worse than toilet paper.]

Minister Lin's mouthful of tea was stuck in his throat and he could hardly swallow it.

What kind of metaphor is this! Can't you come up with a better one?

Lin Ran, who rushed over because he was worried about whether his sister was punished:... Forget it, you worry in vain, this girl is very careless.

"Miss, you can stand over here. You can hear clearly from this place," a maid even made room for Lin Ran.

Lin Ran smiled slightly but did not refuse. After all, who could refuse to eat melons?

The system is now also scorning Miss Chen: [Anyway, Miss Chen's character and morals are not very good, and her reputation is not good. She is arrogant and domineering. You are not in the same circle so you don't know her very well. Her reputation in the circle of wealthy ladies is really bad. ]

[But it's useless for her to seduce. Her brother-in-law's family is not controlled by her brother-in-law. His family is willing to accept her sister because her sister has a good reputation for being virtuous and kind. If she is trained well, she will indeed be a good mistress of the house. As for her, they may not necessarily agree.]

Hearing this, Lin Mo felt a little better.

In this era, the society practiced monogamy and polygamy, and the relationship between husband and wife was relatively stable. It would not be so easy for Miss Chen to divorce her sister.

The people outside also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Lin Ran seemed to be in deep thought. It seemed that she had met Miss Chen's sister several times.

Miss Chen married into the Zhao family. Although the head of the Zhao family did not hold a very high official position, Miss Chen had also attended some banquets.

She still has a good impression of Miss Chen, so she will find an opportunity to remind her when she has time.

Everyone is gossipy about things like this. Some things cannot be spread, but it’s okay if things like this are spread.

After all, there were so many people by the lake, and maybe some of them saw Miss Chen and her brother-in-law going out for a trip.

The servants of the Lin family had already thought of an excuse, so they spread the news quietly.

Minister Lin also turned a blind eye to this matter.

Who said it was spread from their family? Maybe someone saw it by the lake!

Lin Ran originally wanted to find an opportunity to enlighten Miss Chen, but she didn't expect that the servants in the mansion were quicker than her.

The Zhao family and the Chen family have almost turned upside down now.

The two families were related by marriage and should have been very close, but because of this incident they were almost on the verge of a falling out.

"Do you still understand what shame is? She's your own sister! You're usually arrogant and domineering in the mansion, but that's fine. Your sister was very tolerant of you before she got married. Now that she's married, you still want to do something like this. Do you have any shame?"

Mr. Chen was almost going crazy. He already felt a little guilty about his eldest daughter, and he knew what kind of life his daughter usually lived at home.

However, for the sake of family harmony, he usually turned a blind eye to those things that were not too excessive, so his eldest daughter suffered a lot of grievances.

When the Zhao family took a fancy to their eldest daughter, he was really happy.

Miss Chen knelt on the ground with a look of dissatisfaction on her face, "Dad! You are biased, you are biased towards your eldest daughter! Why can she marry into an official family while I can only marry into a wealthy businessman's family! What's wrong with me fighting for myself!"

Miss Chen has always loved comparing herself with her sister in everything since she was a child, so naturally she doesn't want to admit defeat when it comes to getting married.

However, the families her father found for her were all wealthy merchants who were well-matched with her. There is a huge difference between wealthy merchants and officials, and they are of different classes.

If she really got married, wouldn't she be dominated by that man for the rest of her life?
