Jiangnan has always been known for its wealth and prosperity, from ancient times to the present, it is a place where scholars live, far away from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Jiangnan scholars control the government, known as the Six Dynasties scholars.

Even the emperor at that time was inevitably afraid of the Jiangnan Shi clan.

Speaking of proximity, the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty was also glorious for a while, almost controlling the entire court situation.

Although under the changes of the times, the Jiangnan Shi clan has long lost its former glory, but their heritage still exists.

Although the Jiangnan Long family is a family that has only flourished in modern times, strictly speaking, they can still get a little bit of a relationship with the old clan circle in Jiangnan.

Among the eight famous surnames in the old scholar family, the Lu family is the main family of the Long family.

Of course, the concept of "main family" in modern society is relatively weak, and many people do not understand what kind of relationship there is between the main family and the collateral family.

The so-called collateral clan is to have some blood relationship with the main family. Then through this blood relationship, they are attached to the main family, and through the connections of the main family, they can complete their own development.

Of course, when the main family has an order, the collateral clan must obey, otherwise the main family will be expelled from the family system, thus losing the support of the main family's connections.

The Long family took advantage of this marriage between Murong Yuer and the He family in Jiangnan, which is actually not a trivial matter.

Because the He family in Jiangnan is in the rising stage, if this marriage can be successful, then the Long family and the He family will have a community of interests.

At that time, the Long family provided the He family with financial resources and personal support, and the He family fed back to the Long family after some development, so that the future of the two families was promising.

Therefore, in order to show that the Long family attaches great importance to this marriage, after Long Qingyu forcibly brought Murong Yuer back to Ninghai City, the Long family immediately sent someone to send an invitation to the Lu family, hoping that on the day of the engagement ceremony, the Lu family could send someone to attend and witness.

As the main family, the Lu family is naturally happy to see the Long family develop and grow.

Therefore, the Lu family quickly replied, saying that they would definitely send their descendants to witness in person, and they would also invite other scholars to come together.

When the people of the Long family received such a reply from the Lu family, they were immediately excited, and they hurriedly informed the He family of the news.

The He family was naturally even happier when they heard this, and they originally planned to set up the place where the engagement ceremony would be held at the Marriott Hotel.

Now after receiving the news from the Long family, the He family immediately changed the place where the engagement ceremony was held to Fenglai Yi Pavilion.

Fenglai Yi Pavilion is a private hall built by the Gu family in Jiangnan, and the people who gather and have fun here on weekdays are basically the children of the Jiangnan Shi family.

Although there are also members of the He family here, they want to charter the entire guild hall to hold the engagement ceremony, and they didn't have such a big face in the past.

But today, after the He family sent someone to discuss with the people in Fenglai Yi Pavilion, the Gu family immediately gave a reply, and they promised to let the He family charter Fenglai Yi Pavilion for a day, and only charge half the price, as a congratulatory to the He family's engagement ceremony.

The eight most famous surnames in the Jiangnan Shi clan are Wang, Chen, Yuan, Xiao, Zhu, Zhang, Gu, and Lu.

Now that the Gu family treats the He family with such an attitude, this is definitely enough to give the He family face.

Soon the invitation to the engagement ceremony between Murong Yuer and He Lanxiang began to be distributed, and He Lanxiang also sent someone to Long's house to send engagement rings, dresses and several sets of precious jewelry.

But no one cared about whether Murong Yu'er was willing to be engaged to this He Lanxiang she had never seen.

After Murong Yu'er was taken to the Long family's mansion, she was surrounded by Long Qingyu's arrangement, and Murong Yu'er couldn't even go out of the house to walk around the yard.

Bang!

The sound of dishes breaking sounded, and Murong Yu'er's angry shouts could be heard everywhere in Qingyan Garden: "I won't eat! I'd rather starve to death than eat!"

I'm going to call the police, I'm going to sue you!"

Long Qingyu, who had just walked outside the Qingyan Garden, frowned instantly, she looked at the woman accompanying her and asked, "It's been three days since Yu'er came to Long's house, and she still hasn't eaten a mouthful of food?"

"Yes. The woman nodded, "Every time the food is delivered to Miss's room, she will smash it, and the reason why Miss reacted so violently today is that she will be so violent."

Maybe it's because Wu's mother took the dress to be worn for the engagement ceremony in the morning and gave it to Miss to try, and Miss learned that the day after tomorrow was her engagement ceremony. ”

"Go tell the kitchen and ask them to prepare another meal. "Long Qingyu said.

"Yes. ”

After the woman retreated, Long Qingyu took a slight breath, and then walked into the Qingyan Garden.

The door of the main hall of Qingyan Garden was locked, and Long Qingyu came over and ordered lightly: "Open the door." ”

The two bodyguards who were guarding the door immediately did so.

The moment the door opened, Murong Yu'er wanted to take the opportunity to run out.

As a result, as soon as Murong Yu'er arrived at the door, Long Qingyu directly slapped her back.

The loud slap directly incited Murong Yu'er, Murong Yu'er covered her instigated face, and the whole person subconsciously took a few steps back.

When she saw clearly that the person who beat her was Long Qingyu, Murong Yu'er looked even more incredulous.

Long Qingyu looked at Murong Yu'er and asked lightly, "Where do you want to go?"

Murong Yu'er gritted her teeth, she tried her best not to let tears fall out of her eyes. Because Murong Yu'er felt that the woman in front of her was worthy of tears for her at all.

Murong Yu'er said: "Long Qingyu, I was raised by my father since I was a child, and you have nothing to do with me except for giving birth to me."

I don't recognize you as my mom at all, so you're not qualified to decide who I marry!"

"I'm not qualified to decide?" Long Qingyu sneered, she looked at Murong Yu'er, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Since you were born to me, then I am qualified to decide!"

Let me tell Murong Yu'er, not only do you have to marry He Lanxiang, but you also have to change the surname 'Murong', and follow my surname 'Long' in the future."

If you don't listen to me, what do you like Xiao Tiannan, I guarantee that he will be thrown into the West Lake tomorrow to feed the fish.

You have seen Murong Jiangyu's methods, but his methods are just small tricks in front of me.

So whether you want to be obedient or not, you decide for yourself. ”

"Long Qingyu, is there still a law in your eyes, you are simply a lawless villain!" Murong Yu'er yelled at Long Qingyu.

"Lawless?" Long Qingyu sneered, she shook her head and said, "My stupid daughter, why haven't you understood yet, I'm just helping you choose a life where you can not be treated so lawlessly."

You see, your mother and I were born in the Jiangnan Long family, and the Xiao Tiannan you like is just a rural kid.

Maybe he has some skill, but how many can he fight?

Ten, a hundred?

All I need to do is give an order, and there will be hundreds or thousands of masters to kill him at any moment.

And that's because I have a different background and identity from him.

In the same way, I can do this to him today, and tomorrow I can do this to him as another powerful child.

So if you want to live a happy and stable life as a woman, you must marry a strong man.

By 'powerful' I don't mean personal strength, but his identity, power, status!"
