Marrying Gold and Jade

"Ugh."

Lin Yu looked around and realized that the sigh was from his mother.

"What's wrong, mother?"

Zhu Lian later told her that Tan Jinghe came to apologize for what happened that day, but the man was really talkative, which was why her mother stayed with him for a while longer.

Ruan didn't think about that, she just said, "I see that Ah Ji is usually cold and indifferent to other girls, but he is quite warm to Wan Ying."

Thinking of the scene of the two of them hugging each other intimately in the afternoon, Lin Yu pursed his lips.

“It’s quite lively.”

Her tone was not good, so Ruan said, "He treats you well on weekdays, but this child just likes to do things instead of talking."

However, Lin Yu didn't want to hear such comforting words. If he didn't like her, then he didn't like her. It was no big deal.

The problem is that he gets close to his enemies.

Ruan Shi sighed at the side: "It's just a pity for the Cheng family girl, she might have made a mistake."

Cheng Kejia has visited her many times this year, so Ruan can naturally see what her little daughter is thinking.

Lin Yu thought that she didn't know about Wan Ying's situation yet, and might still be preparing a birthday gift for Lin Ji. It was rare for him to feel sorry for someone, so he decided to find an opportunity to remind her next time.

"By the way, a man from the Tan family came to visit today. Did you know about this?"

Hearing Tan Jinghe, Lin Yu immediately perked up, "I saw it from afar."

There was no one around, so Ruan said bluntly: "He is not a good person."

Lin Yu was a little surprised. After all, when he told his mother about this person in his previous life, she was generally satisfied with him.

"How is it bad?"

"He is a decent man, but he is too proud and not sincere enough to be liked."

Lin Yu nodded repeatedly.

Ruan added: "He is far inferior to the young master of the Shen family."

Lin Yu reacted for a moment and then remembered that it was Shen Lian, with whom he discussed piano that day but whom he never met. He couldn't help but become more curious about him.

"I will definitely take a closer look someday."

The night passed in silence.

The next day, Lin Jianchang brought people back.

This time it was the midwife who delivered Ruan. She was old now and was enjoying her grandchildren at home. It took some effort to find her.

Zhu Lian suggested that Ruan trick her.

Unexpectedly, she really gave herself away, and immediately changed her story, saying that it had been a long time, and that she had delivered many women that day, so maybe she remembered it wrong.

Lin Yu didn't care that she lied and just turned his eyes to his father.

Lin Jianchang said with a dark face: "Since we can't figure it out, let's keep both children for now."

When he said "for the time being", it was directed at himself.

Lin Yu could tell that he only wanted to recognize Wan Ying as his daughter.

And the person who was most contented in this farce was none other than Wan Ying.

She knew that the man would bribe the midwife, and Lin Jianchang would definitely protect her, so she felt safe and secure as if she was out of the matter.

But she didn't expect that the midwife would find an opportunity to slip a note to her before leaving.

It says on it: If the plan fails, get rid of her.

That “she” can only be Lin Yu.

This time, he actually gave the task to himself.

Don't we have assassins? Why not find a dark and windy night and kill her with a sword?

Wan Ying thought about it again and again, and just guessed that the reborn little rabbit was a little difficult to deal with, and she couldn't let her die in obscurity.

Lin Yu was also very lost that day. It seemed that something had changed in her, but it also seemed that she could not stop anything.

Lin Jianchang said that he would hold a coming-of-age ceremony for Wanying and officially recognize her as his daughter.

No matter how his mother tried to dissuade him, he just refused to change his mind.

The father who once held me up high and found all kinds of ways to bring me little toys and make me happy, suddenly seemed very far away from me.

Ruan held her hand and comforted her: "I will talk to your father again."

Lin Yu nodded at the person, but knew that nothing would come of it.

In my previous life, my mother wanted to adopt me as her daughter, but my father did not agree, so this did not happen.

Sure enough, the coming-of-age ceremony was held as scheduled, but Lin Yu did not show up. She was afraid of meeting some weird people again, so she simply stayed in Yaoguang Courtyard.

"You're just useless!"

Cheng Kejia, however, was an impatient person. He rushed to Yaoguang Courtyard and almost pointed at her on the forehead and cursed her.

"What a mess she is. She's not even a concubine, and you want her to bully others in your house?"

"If it were me, I would make her come in vertically and leave horizontally!"

The master of the Cheng family had many wives and concubines. Before Cheng Kejia's mother got married, he even had a mistress and had two children with her.

Therefore, she not only has five or six illegitimate brothers and sisters, but also a pair of illegitimate brothers and sisters. It can be seen that they are usually under her control.

When she rushed into his yard to curse at him at a time like this, Lin Yu did not think that she was being overbearing. Instead, he felt a little closer to her.

"My dad likes her."

"That's because he's lost his mind!"

"Lin Ji likes her too."

"That's him...what?"

Cheng Kejia seemed to have heard something incredible, "Who do you think likes her?"

"Lin Ji, in the past few days since Wan Ying came home, Lin Ji has been around her all the time."

Fearing that people would not believe him, Lin Yu brought out some details: "After dinner every day, Lin Ji would send people back to the courtyard. On weekdays, when he came back from the government office, he would definitely go to accompany her."

Perhaps because he had feelings for the person, Cheng Kejia was unable to curse for a moment.

Lin Yu couldn't help but worry about her, "Are you okay?"

Cheng Kejia exhaled deeply.

"I was blind and I misjudged him."

Seeing that she was so free and easy, Lin Yu felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, she immediately said, "I can let it go, but you can't. So, in a few days, when my cheap nephew's full moon comes, I will only invite your family and let her sit on the bench."

The Cheng family is a well-known family of scholars in the local area. So many people came to the coming-of-age ceremony today, but the Cheng family chose not to invite her. This would undoubtedly cause people to talk about it.

The invitation was delivered that evening. Lin Jianchang frowned at the dinner table, but he didn't want to offend the Cheng family.

Wan Ying thought it was nothing at first, but then she thought that the banquet at other people's homes would not be as crowded as at the Lin family, so it might be a good opportunity to attack the little rabbit.

While Lin Ji was sending her back to Changrui Pavilion, she put on a sad look.

"My name isn't on this invitation."

Seeing the man's eyes moving over, she immediately asked: "Brother, does the Cheng family look down on me?"

Although it was a bit weird, she knew that Lin Ji would not refuse in order to gain her trust.

Sure enough, the man's voice sounded as expected: "I'll take you there."

The man's spies came to meet every few days. Wan Ying asked him to bring some things to her, and it would be best if he could sneak into the Cheng family that day.

There are many ways to destroy a woman, not necessarily by stabbing her to death with a sword.

Wan Ying thought that she didn't need to be so bloody.

But when Lin Yu saw her in front of the carriage that day, his face darkened.

This time even Ruan was dissatisfied with Lin Ji's behavior, "Yu'er and I will take a carriage, and the three of you can sit together."

It was not difficult for Lin Yu to see that his mother had argued with his father many times over this matter.
