Chapter II: Seeking Help in Beijing

"Zhining's sister has many suitors, and people often come to the door to propose, otherwise, arrange her sister's marriage first!" He Wanci has been here for nearly a month, and she also knows a little about the affairs in the house, and the eldest lady is very concerned about the marriage of her biological daughter He Zhining, and always wants to find a wishful husband for her daughter. As a mother, she hopes that her daughter is happy, He Wanci can understand it, but she is not biological, so she doesn't have to be so casual, right?

The eldest lady was displeased: "The marriage event has been the name of your parents since ancient times, and the words of the matchmaker, when can you decide?" As soon as I said it, I remembered that the marriage with Yi Yuyan was decided by yourself, how did you end up with a situation where you didn't even remember the reason for being divorced? It can be seen that it is better to honestly obey the orders of your parents. Besides, when Zhining should get married, I will arrange it, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

He Wanci was a little angry: I don't have the ability to ask the person concerned to ask the reason clearly, what is the matter with ridiculing me as an uninformed person? Just when she wanted to say a few words back, her mother gently pulled her cuffs and said first: "Forgive me, Mrs. Wanci's words and deeds are a little out of shape after she lost her memory. But then again, you and I know what kind of person Zhang Cheng is, how can we marry the He family to such a person?"

The eldest lady Yuan said impatiently: "Second lady, we shouldn't judge what kind of person Zhang Cheng is from the mouths of those villains outside. I think that he is very good, you didn't see it when you came to propose, behaved politely, and promised that Wanci would never treat her badly when she married. ”

"But he ......" The second lady wanted to continue to say something, but the eldest lady got up from the chair and interrupted her directly: "This matter is decided by the master." If you don't agree, let's go to the master and talk to him. He turned outside the house and shouted, "Pan'er, the second lady is tired, come and send the second lady and the young lady back to the house." ”

Now that the eldest lady has issued an eviction order, no matter how much reluctance there is, there is only another way. He Wanci and the second lady returned to the house.

"Wan Ci, my mother is sorry for you, there is no way to move the eldest lady to give up the Zhang family. But don't worry, even if your mother fights for her life, it is impossible for you to marry that old bastard in Zhang Cheng. The second lady said as she walked, her hands covered with sweat from worry, and she clutched her handkerchief tightly.

"Mother, tell me about Zhangcheng's situation. He Wanci is a lot calmer now, and it is not too late to figure out the other party's situation before thinking of a solution, and she is full of curiosity about many things in her personality.

The second lady slowed down and briefly introduced: "Zhang Cheng is a well-known old hooligan in Hengzhou, who is half a hundred years old but still lingers in the brothel of Qinglou all day long, and has married five relatives before, but his wives have died one after another, and it is rumored that he was beaten to death by him. Later, he also proposed to some women with low backgrounds, saying that he wanted to find someone to take care of the housework together, but the other party rejected him one by one. Maybe it was the dissolution of the marriage contract between you and Yi Yuyan that made him think that the proposal could be successful, so he came in person, but he didn't want the eldest lady to really answer the matter. The second lady smiled bitterly and thought, if her daughter had not lost her memory, how could she not even know these things?

After listening to her mother's introduction, He Wanci became even more determined in her idea that she could not marry in the past: in case she was beaten to death in the future, in such an era of male superiority and inferiority of women, who would seek justice for herself? And his life is gone, and the fair and unfair are useless. Suddenly felt a chill in his back, and after temporarily suppressing these terrible thoughts, he comforted his mother softly: "You don't have to worry, it's okay if the eldest lady doesn't agree, I have the final say on my marriage, even if the sedan chair really goes outside the house, no one can care if I don't marry." If there is really no room for her, she will run away from the marriage, the He family has a big business, and it will not be affected too much by a marriage.

Wan Ci remembered that she should not have a conflict with the eldest lady, her words were excessive, but they endured it and passed. The marriage with the Zhang family is solved by the mother, and you can rest assured and wait for the news from your mother. The second lady seemed to see her daughter's thoughts, and was also worried that her daughter's reckless behavior would be punished by the eldest lady, so she reminded her.

He Wanci had heard Xiaotong talk about some of the eldest lady's rectification methods before, and she was indeed ruthless, and she was not a troublemaker, so she understood her mother's good intentions better, so she happily agreed.

In the evening, many boxes were brought in from He Fuli, and probably only He Wanci didn't know that it was a congratulatory gift brought by the Zhang family.

At this time, the second lady became more and more anxious, and she realized that only by going to Kyoto to find her husband could she withdraw from the marriage. She called Xiaotong into the room, took her hand and told her some words, packed up a few clothes and some coils, and went out overnight.
