Upon hearing that Gu Jinyun was ill, Liu Tian'ai wanted to go visit her, but she herself was not feeling well and kept coughing. If she went there now, she was afraid that not only would she not be able to see Gu Jinyun, but people would also accuse her of deliberately bringing illness with her.

These ignorant ancients were most particular about these things. Liu Tian'ai felt disdainful in her heart, but did not dare to gamble. She hated the dripping rain again.

"Forget it, you go out first... cough cough cough..."

Liu Tian'ai waved her hand to let Minglu leave, and she sat against the head of the bed, thinking about her future life.

Gu Jinyun is not a reliable person. Her only chance to turn things around in her life is to get rid of Liu Tianshu and then let him make her the legitimate wife.

She knew it was difficult, but it was in her power. No matter what, she didn't want to be locked up in this yard for the rest of her life.

Thinking about having to live in this small courtyard for the rest of her life, Liu Tianyi couldn't help but shiver.

At the same time, the Liu family.

Liu Tianjia stood on the porch, looking at the rain dripping from the eaves, his eyes full of loss and unwillingness.

Ever since she came back from the Marquis' Mansion, she has been confined to the yard, and the jade-like young man has not come to the mansion to propose marriage.

She knew that the marriage was not going to happen and she felt extremely angry.

She had already set up the stage. If it weren't for Liu Tianshu and Lin, who had someone take her back, she might have already been engaged to the Marquis's mansion.

now……

A little maid ran hurriedly from a distance, interrupting Liu Tianjia's thoughts.

"Miss, this is bad. I just received news that the master intends to marry you to a scholar who is going to Beijing to take the imperial examination?"

"What?" Liu Tianjia's face turned pale.

Although she is the daughter of the second wife, the second wife depends on the first wife for her life. As long as the marriage is arranged by his aunt and uncle, his parents would not dare to object even if they had a hundred guts.

She knew that the events in the Marquis' Mansion must have angered her aunt, but she didn't expect that her uncle was also a heartless man and actually wanted her to marry a poor scholar.

She is the daughter of a distinguished Shangshu family. Although she is only a side branch, she has a close blood relationship with Liu Lanqi.

She thought that after she returned from the Marquis' Mansion, Lin would start to decide her marriage, but she never expected them to be so cruel.

When I think about the fact that Liu Tianshu is now the marquis's wife, and although Liu Tian'ai is a concubine, she is also a concubine of the marquis's mansion, why should she marry a poor scholar?

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Liu Tianjia's hands were shaking non-stop. She didn't care that it was still raining outside and ran towards Old Lady Tian's yard with red eyes.

In Tian's eyes, although her granddaughter Liu Tianjia was not as favored as Liu Tian'ai, she was definitely more favored than Liu Tianshu.

Seeing Liu Tianjia running in with red eyes, he reached out to hold her hand, touched her wet clothes, his eyes full of heartache.

"How can you be so incapable of taking care of yourself? You ran outside in rainy weather without even an umbrella. Look, your clothes are all wet. Aren't you afraid of getting sick..."

"Grandma... woooo..."

Liu Tianjia threw herself into Tian's arms and cried bitterly.

Seeing Liu Tianjia crying, Tian immediately hugged her and asked softly, "My dear, how wronged have you been? Why are you crying so sadly?"

"Grandma, my granddaughter is so sad..."

"If you have any grievances, tell grandma and she will take care of it for you."

Liu Tianjia said aggrievedly: "Grandma, I don't want to get married..."

Tian said in a serious voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can a girl not get married?"

After saying that, Tian sighed.

"Jia Jie'er, Grandmother knows that your marriage is a little difficult, but the capital is so big, let's take our time, and we will definitely be able to pick a good one."

"Grandma, my granddaughter is already eighteen years old this year. Other girls my age have already been married, but I still haven't found a husband yet..."

Tian smiled and joked.

"It turns out that my sister Jia is eager to get married..."

"Grandma, woo woo woo ..."

When talking about her marriage, Liu Tianjia couldn't help but think of what the little maid had just said, and the tears that had just stopped flowed again.

"Girl, just speak your mind. Crying won't solve the problem."

"Grandma, someone just said that my uncle and aunt want to marry me to a poor scholar. Woohoo...Grandma, why can my elder sister and third sister marry into a wealthy family like the Marquis' Mansion, but my granddaughter can only marry an ordinary family? I won't marry..."

The Liu family was a peasant family, and they finally managed to raise a scholar, which changed their status.

As someone who has experienced it, no one knows better than Tian how difficult it is for a poor family like theirs to produce a scholar.

At the same time, Liu Lanqi can have everything he has now, thanks to the fact that he married Lin. With the support of the Lin family, he was able to reach his current position step by step.

Yes, although Tian disliked Lin in every way, she could not deny Lin’s contribution to this family.

Over the years, she had been finding fault with Lin, not because she disliked her, but because she was afraid that this daughter-in-law of noble birth would get ahead of her and cause her niece to suffer.

She also knew that if her son wanted to get promoted and make money, he had to rely on the Lin family, so she didn't dare to do anything too excessive to the Lin family over the years.

Now his granddaughter is going to marry back into a poor family and have to go through the same path his son once did. Tian feels heartbroken.

"Jia Jie'er, you are the daughter of a dignified Shangshu Mansion. As long as you don't want to, I, an old woman, will make the decision for you. I wonder who in this family dares to force you to marry off."

After hearing what Tian said, Liu Tianjia finally stopped crying.

"Grandma, thank you. Fortunately, you are here, otherwise your granddaughter's life would be ruined."

Tian hugged Liu Tianjia's waist and said distressedly: "Silly girl, you are grandma's granddaughter. If grandma doesn't love you, who will she love?"

"Grandma is the best to me..." Before Liu Tianjia could finish his words, he saw Lin and Liu Lanqi appear at the door. He was instantly startled and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

Tian was holding Liu Tianjia and noticed his body trembling, so she patted her hands gently.

"Don't be afraid, granddaughter. Grandma is here. I don't know who dares to hurt you."

"Mother, Jia Jie'er is the legitimate mistress of this mansion. Anyone who dares to bully her son will be the first to be spared."

After hearing what Liu Lanqi said, Tian realized that Liu Tianjia's body was trembling because she was afraid because she had just said bad things about Liu Lanqi and his wife.

Turning around, Tian looked at Liu Lanqi and his wife who had appeared in the room at some point, and her face instantly darkened.

"Why did you and your wife come here suddenly? Why didn't you let someone know before you came in?"

Liu Lanqi did not explain why he came here suddenly, but just said calmly: "Mom, I have something to tell you, let everyone in the room leave."

Compared to a granddaughter who will get married sooner or later, Tian naturally prefers to listen to her son.

Letting go of Liu Tianjia and patting her hands gently, Tian said distressedly, "Girl, go out first. Grandmother will talk to your uncle and aunt..."
