Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Sun Zhengzhi saw that she had fallen into the trap and continued to coax her:

"Since Miss Bai Lu understands this, I have a suggestion. It depends on whether Miss Bai Lu is willing or not."

"What proposal?"

Chen Bailu asked innocently.

Oh my God, are they going to arrange a marriage for her?

Chen Bailu's heart was pounding.

I thought that this was the same routine in all novels: you travel through time and meet a handsome guy, and then are forcibly bound to someone by an NPC for all sorts of inexplicable reasons, and from then on, a passionate love affair begins.

She thought it was quite interesting.

But just now when she was at the Sun family's house, it seemed that all she saw were girls, and there were no handsome guys among them.

The only young boy is so young. He is so small and has a body of three heads.

Chen Bailu couldn't help but shook his head.

It's fine for her to travel through time for the sake of novelty and excitement, but getting engaged to a child would be too exciting.

"Cough, cough!"

Seeing Chen Bailu's absent-minded look, Sun Zhengzhi had to cough twice to barely get her attention back.

Sun Zhengzhi had never taken women seriously in his life, let alone facing such an ignorant girl.

But there was no way. Hadn't the master predicted Yaozu's fate? Perhaps this woman was the benefactor Yaozu had brought. Who knew the Sun family's chance to change their fate would fall on her.

Therefore, this girl should be tied more closely to Yaozu.

Sun Zhengzhi successfully convinced himself, and then he showed 120% of his patience and "kindness" towards Chen Bailu.

"That's right. Our Sun family attaches great importance to harmony and friendship. Among our family members, we believe in helping each other and sharing honor and disgrace..."

Chen Bailu nodded subconsciously.

Yes, yes, her original family was like this. Unexpectedly, the family she met after traveling through time was the same.

On the other hand, the original owner's family had a lot of filth in it. That's why she didn't end up in the Chen family. Maybe it was fate.

Otherwise, why didn't she wear it earlier or later, but had to wait until the original owner moved to the Sun family before she wore it?

Sun Zhengzhi stared closely at the subtle changes in Chen Bailu's expression and continued to deceive:

"To be honest, I was originally a successful candidate in the imperial examinations and served as a high-ranking official in the imperial court. However, due to unfavorable circumstances, I was harmed by treacherous individuals, and that's why..."

His voice choked for a moment, and then he wiped away the non-existent tears with his sleeve, looking like someone who was enduring humiliation and didn't want to say more.

Then he continued:

"Our Sun family originally had three branches, but unfortunately, after all the hardships along the way, our eldest and second sons are now gone."

"Now the eldest wife only has her daughter-in-law and her only grandson and several daughters... In the future, everything in the grandson family will definitely depend on the eldest wife."

"If Miss Bai Lu doesn't mind, I would like to adopt you as my granddaughter and register you as the legitimate daughter of the eldest wife."

"This……"

Chen Bailu didn't expect the conversation to take this direction. It was really beyond her expectations. She was a little unresponsive for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Sun Zhengzhi didn't give her time to think and immediately added fuel to the fire:

"I know Miss Bai Lu has an extraordinary background, so she naturally looks down on a poor family like us. I'm just worried about you..."

"NO, I have not……"

Chen Bailu weakly retorted - Is she such a person? Chen Bailu refused to admit it.

Sun Zhengzhi continued to speak:

"Now that the little fairy has come here alone, even if she has boundless magical powers, she still needs protection since she carries a rare treasure. At the very least, someone should provide cover when she takes out the treasure, right?"

"How can others be as reliable as our own family?"

"Of course, you can also choose the Chen family. But you have to know that a family like the Chen family is not only short-sighted, but also has limited abilities. They can't protect you no matter what."

"Although I am not talented, I have served in the court for many years and have both experience and connections..."

"Then there's the question of your upbringing here—no matter where you're from, you should always follow the local customs and obey the rules, right?"

He pointed at Old Madam Sun and First Madam Sun:

"My wife and my eldest daughter-in-law both come from wealthy families and are well-versed in etiquette and manners. A girl trained by them could become a concubine in the palace in the future. What do you think, Miss Bai Lu?"

What can Chen Bailu say?

Sun Zhengzhi had already been tricked and deceived by his threats and inducements, and was completely confused.

And there was one thing she felt the old man was absolutely right about.

In her original world, although Chen Bailu was loved by her parents and brother, her family was just an ordinary well-off family, and her parents were both in business.

Given the position I am in, my vision and knowledge are limited.

Therefore, what Chen Bailu envied most were the second-generation officials, the second-generation reds, and the second-generation military. Now that he had traveled to ancient times and had the golden finger of a portable shopping mall, he would definitely not have to worry about food, clothing, and other expenses in the future.

Then what am I missing?

Of course, it was social status. She knew that in ancient times, merchants and farmers had very low status, and ordinary people had almost no human rights. Only officials and nobles could be considered superior.

And for now, only the Sun family can give this opportunity.

If she went back to the Chen family, the Chen family members were so rude and vulgar that she might end up being a village girl for the rest of her life.

But if she listened to the old man, she would become the eldest daughter of the Sun family and receive a complete aristocratic education.

As for the Sun family temporarily losing its status, what does it matter?

With the goodies from the modern world in her space to build connections, why worry about the Sun family not being able to make a comeback? By then, her status will naturally rise, and she can also look after the Sun family.

After thinking this through, Chen Bailu no longer hesitated and responded readily:

"Okay. I promise to be your Sun family's legitimate granddaughter...but I have two requests, and you have to agree to them first."

"any request?"

Sun Zhengzhi asked. In his heart, he was ecstatic: There is a way.

In fact, he made this suggestion only to temporarily stabilize Chen Bailu, at least to prevent her from returning to the Chen family immediately. Otherwise, wouldn't this great opportunity fall into the hands of the Chen family?

How could such a vulgar family be blessed with such a heaven-defying opportunity? Chen Bailu had to stay at home first, and the rest could be dealt with later.

Unexpectedly, the girl actually agreed.

So let alone two conditions, even if Chen Bailu proposed twenty conditions at this time, Sun Zhengzhi would agree without hesitation.

Anyway, this is a different time, and whether it will work or not is up to us to decide.

"My conditions are, first, you can't use your status as relatives to arrange marriages for me at will. I must agree to it. In short, I have the freedom of marriage. I will decide my own marriage."

It is true that Chen Bailu is a silly and innocent girl, but she is not too stupid, otherwise she would not be the heroine of the small world.

After her initial imagination of the handsome guy was dashed, she calmed down.

After all, she was only nine years old, not the age to fall in love right away in her previous life. If she were to grow up here, she would most likely marry like the ancient natives.

It is really possible that you will be engaged to someone else during the process.

The man and woman have never met each other before marriage, but they can get married and enter the bridal chamber just by the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker. It’s really scary to think about it.

So Chen Bailu first took out the first line of insurance for his future.

"Okay, I agree."

The girl is still young, so it’s too early for her to get married - as I said, let’s talk about the future later.
