Dressed as a young lady, she became rich by relying on Pinxixi

Lin Yiqing must have had an irreconcilable conflict with her family, which is why Miss Zhou came to her and said so many useless things to her.

Xu Siyu hadn't thought much about getting involved, but she was definitely trapped by Lin Yiqing. Although she would occasionally wonder if he was doing well, it was ultimately just a thought.

On the first day of August, the autumn rain hits the leaves, making them fall all over the ground.

The autumn rain brought a chill, and Jiangyu Pavilion had few guests. Xu Siyu stayed at home in a daze.

When Lin Yiqing brought Shi Jin and Shi Yan to the Xu family's new house in Cuihua Mountain, she had not yet come to her senses.

When she wasn't in person, she didn't feel anything. But when she saw Lin Yiqing, Xu Siyu was so moved by his affectionate gaze that it seemed to have brought out all the feelings that had been buried in her consciousness, and she forgot that she thought they were over.

She reached out and grabbed the person into the yard before she looked at him with confidence.

After confirming that he was not missing any limbs, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yiqing then hugged Xu Siyu tightly in his arms, muttering, "I knew you couldn't bear to leave me, you were just being stubborn."

Shi Jin and Shi Yan, who were following behind him, and other people who appeared in the yard to inquire, all pretended not to see.

This poor pair of mandarin ducks, although they have crossed the line, just let them be!

The two people were so deeply embedded in each other that they didn't know how much time passed. It was not until the autumn rain came suddenly and the leaves fell rapidly and hit their heads that they let go and went into the main hall in the inner courtyard.

There were three people sitting in the hall, Xu Wangshi, Xu Siyu and Lin Yiqing.

Xu Siyu made a pot of hot tea to warm those who were getting wet in the rain.

Just as she sat down to drink her tea, she was so frightened by Lin Yiqing's shocking words that she spit out her mouth.

"Pfft, what did you say? You're going to marry me?"

What kind of ridiculous joke is this? The noble Mr. Lin wants to marry a peasant girl?

"With my current fame, I can travel far and wide without a pass, and doing business will also be much easier..."

"No, no, no, wait, you want to split up from the Lin family and marry into my Xu family? Do your parents agree? Does your uncle, the imperial merchant, agree?"

"As long as you agree."

Xu Siyu: ...

"As a scholar, there's nothing wrong with you ignoring your parents' orders." Xu Siyu was not without feelings for Lin Yiqing, but she was rational on the issue of marriage.

Those who are rebellious always have to suffer a lot and end up in a bad situation.

She hasn't fallen in love to the point of being madly in love and not caring about anything else except the so-called love.

"To my parents, they just regard it as my division of the family. For the sake of the Lin family's reputation, they won't publicize it, let alone take it to heart."

Lin Yiqing's departure was certainly a means to an end. If possible, he did not want to do it in such a decisive way.

After eight months of roundabout confrontation, Lin Yiqing's desire for freedom and to be with Xu Siyu became stronger.

He had finally met the person he loved, and he couldn't deceive himself into accepting the possibility of giving up Xu Siyu.

Moreover, he has too many conflicts and estrangements with Lin's father and the Lin family, not just this one.

"They don't care, but I do." At the head of the main hall, Xu Wang, the eldest elder of the Xu family, stomped her feet to express her dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong with my daughter? You have to find fault with her. You useless guy, you tricked my daughter into going to your house, and you made promises, but in the end you disappeared. The next time we met, you wanted to do something indecent with my daughter..."

Xu Wangshi is still the same Xu Wangshi, even though Xu Siyu is an old girl, even though she knows that the Lin family is indeed of higher status than her Xu family, this should not be a grievance for her daughter.

It wasn't them who put it there. It was clearly Lin Yiqing who came to them, so in the end it was still the Xu family's fault.

Xu Wangshi was very angry.

Lin Yiqing didn't argue. She stood up from her seat and knelt down in front of Xu Wangshi. "Auntie, Lin Zhao longs for Siyu. Although she doesn't have the status of a legitimate son of the Lin family to marry her, she has a deep affection for him. Please help her marry him. Lin Zhao promised that if she marries Siyu, she will 'love and cherish her, and be a loving couple for the rest of her life.'"

Xu Wangshi didn't listen to what Lin Yiqing said. She was shocked the moment the scholar knelt down in front of her.

The old lady's heart was trembling, and she covered her chest with her hands, looking uncomfortable.

"Don't scare my mother!" Xu Siyu quickly ran to Xu Wangshi's side to calm her down. "If my mother is scared, there's no point in talking to her."

Lin Yiqing was asked to leave the main room. Xu Siyu didn't tell him where he could go, so he just waited under the eaves.

His servants were very cautious and talkative, and as soon as he entered the main room, they were taken care of by Rui'er and rested in the corridor outside the kitchen.

At this moment, he was the only one in the entire Xu residence who could not find shelter from the wind and rain, looking pitiful.

Xu Siyu helped Xu Wangshi back to bed. Xu Wangshi's heart was clear and she had recovered a long time ago. She grabbed her hand and asked with a sly smile, "Girl, what do you think?"

"Mom, I'm not stupid. I wouldn't dare to get married without my family's blessing."

Seeing her daughter's attitude, Xu Wang patted her twice and said, "You are not stupid. He is a scholar, kneeling to beg for marriage. This meat is right in front of your mouth, and you don't want to eat it?"

Xu Siyu sat down next to Xu Wangshi and asked, somewhat confused, "Mom, what if he lied to me?"

"Silly girl, why do you care so much? Think about it yourself, do you have feelings for him? When you were counting the days to see if he was coming, weren't you looking forward to his coming?" Although Xu Siyu never talked much about Lin Yiqing, she had been paying attention to whether Lin Yiqing had come, when he would come, and when he would come, intentionally or unintentionally, for a long time.

Everyone has different understandings and ways of expressing feelings. In Xu Wangshi's opinion, although her little actions were not as vigorous as when she chased Zhang Yue before, she also planted the seeds of love.

"You said you don't need him, but wouldn't it be a pity to lose him? You've tortured the flowers in the garden so many times, or sighed to the sky. Why? Don't say it's for business. I asked the fisherman, and the flowers and plants you grow are selling well. Rui'er also said that our family is rich, so it's no problem to support a few more people."

"Mom, do you mean to marry him?" Xu Siyu's emotional inertia improved a little, but only a little.

Xu Wang slapped Xu Siyu's head in anger: "A scholar-official must marry into his family? You let him disappear from the public and not return to his ancestral home. You two have a proper name."

The principles of the Xu Wang family are based on the customs of etiquette and court.

Although she would pick the best for Xu Siyu, she would also consider her daughter's long-term future.

Between the wife of a juren and a woman who marries a juren, she would choose the former without a doubt.

In this world, no matter how capable a woman is, she still needs a husband's family to look up to her.

But that was all outward appearance. Inwardly, Xu Wangshi still adhered to her "control" principle. "As long as you can control it, it doesn't matter who gets married."

"If you don't take him while he's still dizzy, you'll regret it later if you lose him!"

After scaring her, Xu Wangshi tried to reason with her: "You are a filial child. Mother doesn't want you to miss out on a good marriage. Even if we are sorry for the Lin family, let's keep his son in our Xu family for now. Later, you must remember to be filial. Parents don't hold grudges overnight. They will eventually recognize the good qualities of my daughter and truly accept you."
