"Let's go out and take a look."

Xie Linghe made the decision immediately.

Xie Lingfen nodded: "Okay."

Holding Nini in their arms, the two sisters walked towards Xie Dahe's house.

Not even close yet.

The road was blocked by the crowd of onlookers.

Xie Linghe looked around, then saw Xie Erhe. She perked up and hurried over to him, getting straight to the point: "Second Uncle, what's going on? Why did Xie Lingliu get married so suddenly? Which family did he marry to? Do you know?"

Xie Erhe's face was gloomy and he shook his head: "Brother didn't tell me anything."

He was in a very bad mood.

No matter how unpleasant the situation was, he always treated his elder brother as a family member.

His niece Xie Lingyu unfortunately died, and he was very sad. After hearing his elder brother's cruel words, he couldn't help but go to him and had a big quarrel. The two quarreled very fiercely. Xie Dahe said a lot of heartless words, which made him discouraged and vowed never to care about his family's affairs again.

but.

He felt very uncomfortable when he saw that his elder brother married off his daughter without informing him at all.

How did these brothers become like this?

Hear the words.

Xie Linghe frowned.

Even my second uncle doesn’t know?

There was a lot of chatter around.

"This wedding procession is truly spectacular. I've never seen so many people welcoming a bride."

"Who says it's not?"

"Look at the clothes those people wearing during the wedding reception are all made of fine cotton. I can't even afford this one."

"And this sedan chair is so beautiful."

"What kind of wealthy family did Xie Lingliu marry into?"

"Xie Dahe is so lucky."

"Who says having a daughter is useless? I think it's much more useful than having a son."

"..."

inside the house.

Xie Dahe and his family sat together, and everyone had different expressions on their faces.

Xie Dahe's face was flushed.

Zhang Daya also couldn't stop laughing.

Xie Lingliu wore a bright red wedding gown, her hair was adorned with pearl hairpins, and she had on exquisite makeup, but the smile on her face was very stiff, showing neither the joy nor the shyness of getting married.

Xie Lingnan looked even more worried.

Xie Lingdi lowered her head and treated herself as a transparent person.

Except them.

There was also a middle-aged woman wearing green clothes and a red flower on her head standing behind Xie Lingliu.

She was the matchmaker, and at this moment she said cheerfully, "Thank you, Auntie, the auspicious time is almost here, please hurry up and get on the bridal sedan with me."

Xie Lingliu's eyes flashed with rejection, and he sat there motionless.

The matchmaker frowned and said, "Aunt Xie, although Master Xu said he wanted to take you as a concubine, he sent a special wedding procession, which is enough to show how much he loves you. You should not be so petty. If you anger Master Xu, it will not be good for you."

Xie Lingliu didn't want to talk.

The matchmaker's face darkened and she turned around: "Since you are unwilling to take the initiative to get on the sedan chair, don't blame me for being offensive. I will go and ask someone to invite you..."

"Matchmaker Liu, wait a minute."

Xie Dahe hurriedly called out to her, "No need to call anyone, no need to call anyone."

then.

He looked at Xie Lingliu with a cold tone, "Second brother, your mother and I have already agreed to this marriage, why are you throwing a tantrum?"

"Young Master Xu is the County Magistrate's eldest son. It's your blessing that he likes you."

"Although you are a concubine, you are more impressive than the wives of the officials in town. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"go with!"

"I don't want to say it again."

Hear the words.

Xie Lingliu shuddered, raised his head, looked at the indifferent expression of his father, whom he relied on in his heart, and suddenly forced a smile.

She stood up, bowed deeply, and said word by word: "Daughter bids farewell to parents!"

look up.

Xie Dahe waved his hands quickly.

Zhang Daya hesitated to speak and looked at her with guilt.

Xie Lingliu paused and looked away.

hypocritical!

It's disgusting!

If he really loved his daughter, why would he let her become a concubine?

Even if she marries the county magistrate's son, won't she still be a concubine?

Look down.

When she met her sister Xie Lingnan's worried eyes, she felt a little warm in her heart and gave her a reassuring smile.

Subsequently.

Looked at Xie Lingdi.

She also looked concerned, but maybe because she was too sensitive, she felt that the expression was fake.

"Thank you, Auntie. Let's go."

Xie Lingliu replied expressionlessly, "I understand."

Behind.

While Xie Dahe breathed a sigh of relief, he was also full of imagination about the future.

He and the county magistrate are relatives.

Who would dare to offend him in Shuikou Village in the future?

Zhang Daya recalled the look in her daughter's eyes when she left, and her heart ached, and she felt even more guilty. But soon, she thought of the generous betrothal gift and the county magistrate's connections, and she fell into joy.

If I find a good doctor, I should be able to give birth to a son, right?

Xie Lingnan couldn't help but shed tears.

Woo woo woo, my second sister is so pitiful~

Simultaneously.

A thought kept coming to my mind: "Will I be sold by my parents like my second sister in the future?"

Xie Lingdi lowered her head, not letting anyone see the smile in her eyes.

Having learned her lesson from Xie Lingyu, she would never let Xie Lingliu catch her again.

This time.

She was hiding behind it.

Xie Lingliu thought that Xie Dahe had sold him out, and there was no way he could have known that it was she who took the initiative to cooperate with Xu Shao and gave herself to him to reach a deal.

……

Xie Dahe suddenly said, "Let's go out too."

He couldn't wait to let everyone know that he was the father-in-law of the county magistrate's son.

outside the house.

Everyone saw Xie Lingliu come out with a red veil on her head, and then walk into the bridal sedan.

The horn blew.

The sedan chair was lifted.

But, haven't left yet.

When Xie Dahe and his family came out, Liu the matchmaker greeted them warmly: "Master Xie, we're leaving now."

Thank you, sir?

When Xie Dahe heard this name, he felt refreshed, as if he had drunk a glass of ice water in the hottest days of summer.

"Well, walk slowly."

"..."

The wedding procession left with music and singing.

The onlookers immediately started asking, "Xie Dahe, you're so mean! We're from the same village, but you didn't even tell us about your daughter's marriage."

"Why, are you afraid that we will take advantage of your family?"

"Yes."

"Xie Dahe, I heard your daughter married into a wealthy family in the county town. Which family did she marry into?"

"..."

Hear the words.

Xie Dahe had a proud look on his face and raised his chin: "Ahem, since everyone is so curious, I will satisfy you. My second daughter is marrying the eldest son of the county magistrate of Chunde County."

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"what?!"

"Which young master?"

"County, what's that?"

"God!"

"County Magistrate, this is the second-in-command of the county."

"Who says it's not?"

"Then Xie Lingliu is the county magistrate's daughter-in-law, right?"

"Brother Dahe, you are so good at raising a daughter."

"Brother Dahe, I will hang out with you from now on."

"..."

Say anything.

Xie Linghe fell into deep thought: Why does this wedding procession feel so weird?

and many more!

Sudden.

An idea suddenly occurred to her, and she asked loudly in the crowd, "Why isn't the groom here?"

The crowd fell silent.

Xie Dahe looked over, their eyes meeting. A fierce gleam gleamed in his face, but Xie Linghe remained undeterred. He continued, "Uncle, I've met the County Magistrate once before. He's my grandfather's age. His eldest son should have reached adulthood by now, right?"

Xie Dahe's expression changed slightly.

Zhang Daya's expression changed drastically, and she looked fierce but weak inside: "Xie Linghe, what do you want to say?!"

"How can a young girl get involved in marriage affairs every day? She really doesn't know the rules."

Xie Linghe's eyes darkened, and he smiled: "Aunt, I'm concerned about Ling Liu too."

"After all, they are cousins."

"Aunt, I want to ask you, is Ling Liu the concubine of the county magistrate?"

As soon as these words came out.

Suddenly, it was earth-shattering.

"concubine?"

"No way."

"This……"

"..."

Xie Dahe and his family's expressions suddenly changed.

Everyone took a look.

There’s nothing else I don’t understand.

"Hi~"

"Are you really going to be a concubine?"

"Is Xie Dahe crazy?"

"This is his own daughter."

"..."

Facing everyone's gazes and listening to their whispers, Xie Dahe's face turned pale. He glared at Xie Linghe angrily and turned back to the house.

Looking at his back, he looked very embarrassed.

Zhang Daya followed closely behind.

She really couldn't stand those contemptuous looks...

Xie Lingnan felt extremely ashamed and ran back with his head down. He didn't want to stay with his parents and went straight back to the house.

Xie Lingdi glanced at Xie Linghe with an imperceptible look, then turned away silently.

Xie Linghe, you are so sharp!

A few people went into the house dejectedly, and everyone's discussions became louder.

"Oh my god~"

"Xie Dahe is really crazy."

"They actually sold their own daughter to someone else as a concubine. How could they do that?"

"I didn't expect there would be such parents in our village..."

Some people have different opinions.

"Actually, I don't think it's a big deal."

"A concubine of the county magistrate is much better than an ordinary citizen's wife, okay?"

"Who says it's not?"

"Ask yourselves, everyone present, if you had the opportunity, would you be willing to marry your daughter off?"

"..."

"Bah! I can't."

"Me too."

"I thought everyone was like you, not taking my daughter seriously."

"That's right, my daughter is my sweetheart."

"..."

There was a sense of tension between the two sides.

Xie Linghe did not participate in the fight. He looked at Xie Lingfen, turned around and walked back tacitly.

Xie Lingfen suddenly let out a long sigh: "I didn't expect that my uncle has become so crazy and mad as this."

As a woman herself, she felt a sense of sympathy for her fellow human beings.

Xie Linghe agreed: "Indeed."

Isn't that insane?

Is it worth it to have a son?

Xie Dahe also has a problem. He doesn't treat Zhang Daya well, but he is determined to have a son with her.

Coming back to her senses, she added, "But maybe Xie Lingliu did it on his own accord."

Because of the presence of Xie Lingyu and Xie Lingdi, she also had a very bad impression of the remaining Xie Lingliu and Xie Lingnan.

Hear the words.

Xie Lingfen's face straightened: "Sister, Ling Liu has always been arrogant. I don't think she is willing to be a concubine."

Xie Linghe raised an eyebrow: "You're too proud to be a concubine? Who knows, what if it's true love?"

but.

She did not refute Xie Lingfen.

"Maybe."

There is no point in arguing about this.

Behind.

Xie Lingai's voice rang out: "Big sister, second sister, wait for me."

She volunteered to go to the river to wash clothes. When she heard the noise, she went to see what was happening. She was very far away from her elder and second sisters and didn't see them at first. She only noticed them when her elder sister spoke to them.

There were too many people and I couldn’t squeeze through.

After the crowd dispersed, I hurried to catch up.

In front.

The two stood still.

Xie Linghe touched her cheek: "You're here too? We didn't see you."

Xie Lingai complained: "I was pushed to the side and didn't see you guys."

"I was close to the sedan chair and I thought I heard Sister Ling Liu crying."

As soon as these words came out.

Xie Linghe and the other man looked at each other.

Xie Lingfen sighed: "Maybe you heard it wrong."

Xie Linghe was in mixed mood.

Could it be that I am too prejudiced?

Shaked his head.

It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. She cannot and will not change Xie Lingliu's fate.

"Oh."

Xie Ling'ai had no doubts and murmured softly, "I hope that Master Xu will treat Sister Ling Liu well."

Xie Linghe was distracted and didn't hear clearly: "Ah? Xiao Ai, what did you just say?"

Xie Lingai blinked her eyes: "I just wish Sister Lingliu happiness."

Xie Linghe: "Oh."

No longer worry about it.

That night.

Xie Linghe had a dream he hadn't had in a long time.

The dream was about a novel I had traveled through. Xie Lingdi was the protagonist, and her three sisters all married well. The eldest sister married Sun Shaozu; the second sister married the son of the county magistrate; and the third sister married...

The second sister's story is also very tortuous.

When Xu Shao, the son of the county magistrate, was young, he had a childhood sweetheart, Bai Yueguang, who died of illness early.

He never forgot Bai Guangyue in his heart.

After getting married, he began to collect substitutes for Bai Yueguang. As long as they had a similarity with Bai Guangyue, he would take them into the backyard.

Can a county magistrate afford to support so many women?

Of course, Xu Shao did not rely on her father, but on her elder sister who was the prefect's second wife.

Her sister was twenty-five years old and married a fifty-five-year-old man. As an old man and a young wife, she was very much loved.

Xu Shao's biological mother died early, and his father remarried.

Most of the legitimate sons and daughters of the original wife and the legitimate sons and daughters of the second wife have conflicts.

Xu's father favors his second wife.

Xu Shao and his sister depend on each other for survival.

Relying on his sister's influence, Xu Shao could get whatever he wanted in Chunde County.

In the story.

Xie Lingliu and Xu Shaobai Guangyue are 80% similar. She was attracted to her at first sight and wanted to take her into her mansion.

Fortunately.

At that time, under the leadership of Xie Lingdi, the whole family had started to make money and had some status.

Xu Shao couldn't force it either.

then.

Taking advantage of his wife's death from illness, he immediately came to propose marriage, wanting to marry Xie Lingliu as his second wife.

Xie Dahe naturally agreed.

Xie Lingliu was unwilling, but unable to resist.

after marriage.

Xu Shao was gentle and kind to Xie Lingliu, and she soon fell for him. Afterwards, Xie Lingliu discovered the existence of Bai Yueguang and distanced herself from Xu Shao. They had a tragic love affair, but ended up together happily. Xu Shao finally recognized his own heart and fell in love with Xie Lingliu.

……

midnight.

Xie Linghe sat up, beads of sweat on her forehead, but she didn't care at all. She muttered to herself: "The eldest son of the county magistrate, surnamed Xu... Isn't this the husband of Xie Lingliu in the book?"

"Why would you marry her now, or make her a concubine?"

"Too."

She thought for a moment, "I killed Xie Lingyu, so it's not surprising that Xie Lingliu did this."

after all.

In this life, as soon as she arrived, she found Xie Lingdi's private money, which made Xie Dahe and his wife pay special attention to her, causing her more trouble and attention, and she was unable to make money in a high-profile manner.

therefore.

Xie Dahe's family still couldn't escape poverty, and Mrs. Xu Shao was also well. Xu Shao naturally wouldn't think of marrying Xie Lingliu, and taking a concubine was enough for him.

But this isn't the time they met, is it?
