My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?
Chapter 3 Lin Yulan deceives her younger sister
Lin Yuwei softened her tone, "Sister, the engagement letter has been exchanged, and our sisters' marriages have been decided. If you dare to cause trouble and bring shame to the Lin family, Dad will not forgive you. At the very least, you will have your hair cut off and become a nun, or at worst, you will die of illness in a year or so. Are you willing, sister?"
"But why——"
"You are such an ignorant person. Have you really thought it through and decided to go against me?"
Lin Yulan seemed to be frightened by her. After a moment of hesitation, she said in despair, "What can I do? Mother will definitely not give me any dowry. How can I live a good life without a dowry? I won't accept it! My dear sister, you should marry into the Marquis' Mansion. I don't mind the Meng family because of their poor family background, really!"
"Don't even think about it!"
"I have never argued with my sister before, but I just can't stand it this time! I——"
"Isn't it just a dowry? I'll give it to you!"
Lin Yulan couldn't believe what he said, and stopped making a fuss, "Really?"
Lin Yuwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sneering in her heart. She was so shallow! Isn't it just a little dowry? She didn't care. The Rongguo Mansion was a hundred times richer than that of the ruined Marquis Mansion! In less than a year, Brother Meng would return to the Rongguo Mansion, and she could spend the mountains of gold and silver as she pleased.
Right now, we must coax Lin Yulan and prevent any accidents.
"of course it's true."
"But mother won't agree easily unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless you write it down in black and white, and you secretly trick your mother into putting her fingerprints on it, I'll keep it as evidence."
Lin Yuwei frowned, somewhat reluctantly.
Lin Yulan said quietly, "If mother gave me all the betrothal gifts from the Marquis' Mansion and prepared a generous dowry for me, then this document would be useless. What would my sister be worried about?"
Lin Yuwei thought so too and sneered, "Look at your unpresentable look, you are so petty! Okay, I promise you."
Lin Yulan hesitated again, "Why don't we change the marriage plan——"
"Lin Yulan, don't even think about going back on your word! Just wait for me, I will definitely bring you the receipt tonight!"
Lin Yuwei turned around and ran away.
Lin Yulan breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu doted on Lin Yuwei, so it was very easy for Lin Yuwei to secretly take her hand and make her fingerprints while she was sleeping. Lin Yuwei should not have lied about this.
After all, she was afraid of making trouble.
What if I get caught cheating?
She smiled sarcastically. Her younger sister was really concerned about this marriage. I hope she won't be disappointed in the future.
Duke Rong’s Mansion, huh!
But an hour later, Lin Yuwei brought the document with Meng's handprint and threw it to Lin Yulan with a cold face, "Remember what you promised me, don't cause any trouble."
After saying that, he left angrily.
Lin Yulan read it carefully and found it very good, with clear handwriting and distinct fingerprints. Her sister really cared about it!
After carefully putting away the amulet, Lin Yulan went to the study to find her father.
This alone is not enough, dad must give the order.
Lin Daohui has been in a relaxed mood these days. The marriages of his two daughters have been settled. The engagement will be paid in two days and they will get married next month, which will be a good story.
Although the marriage of the youngest daughter caused such a commotion, fortunately not many people knew about it. She only told others that she had high hopes for Meng Mingchi, so the marriage between the two families was barely acceptable.
When Lin Daohui heard that his eldest daughter was here, he was slightly startled. It seemed that this was the first time that the child took the initiative to come to him alone.
"Call the young lady in!"
"My daughter greets her father."
"Hey, come sit down."
Lin Daohui smiled lovingly and sighed, "In the blink of an eye, you sisters have all grown up. If your biological mother were still alive, she would be happy to see that you have found such a good marriage."
Lin Yulan felt sad. Her biological mother, Aunt Fang, passed away three years ago. In fact, she was already separated from her by two lifetimes. When Aunt Fang was alive, they depended on each other for survival. Now that Aunt Fang was gone, she could only suffer.
I originally thought that I would feel relieved after getting married. As long as I work hard and manage my life well, I will be able to live a good life.
Unexpectedly, fate played such a trick on her that she never had a single day of peace.
Lin Yulan's eyes turned red as she thought about it. "Well, seeing that Dad and Mom care so much about their daughter, Auntie will definitely be relieved and grateful."
Following her father's sigh for a while, Lin Yulan said, "Dad, the Marquis of Wuwei is a noble family after all, and I am just a concubine's daughter. I am afraid that the servants, relatives and friends of the Marquis will look down on my daughter. It's ok for my daughter to be looked down upon by them, but I am afraid that my family will also be despised and humiliated by them. Thinking of this, I feel very uneasy, so I came here to ask you for advice..."
Lin Daohui was stunned and fell into deep thought.
He was only a fourth-rank official, far inferior to the first-rank Marquis of Wuwei!
No matter how dissolute the Marquis of Wuwei was, his concubine's daughter marrying him as his wife was indeed marrying up.
If this marriage had not been arranged by chance by our elders when they were still alive, and if it had not been for the generosity and kindness of the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion, this marriage would not have been possible at all.
But the fact that the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion is kind and generous doesn't mean that everyone else in the mansion is willing to accept their daughters.
Which of the servants in the powerful families is not a snob?
As for those relatives, friends, and those with whom we socialize, it is possible that some of them have eyes on top of their heads.
Lin Daohui said, "You are a good child. After you get married, as long as you serve your elders and your husband well, and behave virtuously with others, no one can find fault with you. Dad will give you all the betrothal gifts from the Marquis' Mansion as a dowry, and your family will also prepare a dowry for you to ensure that you will not bring shame to the Lin family. But what happens in the future depends on you."
If a woman wants her husband's family to think highly of her, besides having a strong family background, she also needs to have a generous dowry!
Lin Yulan was so moved that she immediately knelt down in front of her father: "Don't worry, Dad. You have already thought so much about me. If I don't live up to my expectations, it will be a disgrace to the Lin family. I don't want much dowry. Just give me 70% of the dowry originally prepared for my sister."
"Okay, okay, Lan'er is really sensible! Get up, get up." Lin Daohui helped Lin Yulan up with a smile, feeling very pleased, like a loving father and a filial daughter.
A few days later, the betrothal gifts from the Wuwei Marquis' Mansion arrived. There were thirty-six sets of them, which were delivered to the Lin Mansion in a grand manner and placed in the courtyard of the Lin Mansion. They were very impressive and the neighbors on the street all praised them. The servants of the Lin Mansion talked about them and were very envious.
Xiao Qu looked surprised and whispered to Lin Yulan, "Miss, is the second young lady stupid? Why did she give up such a good marriage with the Marquis of Wuwei Mansion and make a big deal out of an accident that could have been covered up? She insisted on marrying the young master of the Meng family? I, I really can't understand it!"
Lin Yulan smiled, "Maybe my sister fell in love with the young master of the Meng family at first sight. Let's not get involved in this matter and don't talk about it."
"Yes, Miss!" Xiao Qu smiled. She was really happy for her own young lady. She didn't ask much about the second young lady's affairs.
