Chapter III: Substitute Marriage
The head still hurt, Chonghua frowned, looking down at the finch crying beside her bed.
The scene in front of me is no longer as if it is separated by a light veil, and it is clear. Chonghua was shocked by this discovery, and felt that his hands and feet were cold.
It's not a dream, it's real.
"Second Miss, why are you still in a daze. Something happened to the eldest lady. "The finch is in a hurry.
Chonghua looked at her stunned: "Something happened to the eldest lady, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Finch was shocked by her like this, and said in a daze: "The eldest lady is not sure that she will marry, and she committed suicide by hanging the beam." ”
Chonghua's brows furrowed even tighter. In the end, it is a spoiled child, how can you say that if you don't marry, you won't marry? She remembered that the other party should be the eldest son of the prince of Tongjiang, and he is also the son of the current Tongjiang palace. You must know that King Tongjiang is not only the first king with a different surname in this dynasty, but also the brother-in-law of the emperor of the current dynasty. This family affair is definitely not something that can be shirked by crying and saying that you will not marry.
The Yuanhui Courtyard where the lady is located has become a mess. The eldest lady Ling Yuehua was rescued in an unsuccessful suicide attempt by hanging. He was already carried to his wife's yard for treatment. At this time, he was crying, and even the medicine bowl that was brought up was smashed.
"Father, mother, if your daughter doesn't marry, your daughter won't marry." Ling Yuehua cried hoarsely, her delicate and beautiful little face full of tears. Rao is hard-hearted, and he will be moved when he sees it. But Ling Shangshu frowned tightly, without the slightest distress.
"Nonsense, this is the first emperor's finger for marriage, what a great honor. Do you say that if you don't marry, you won't marry? If you don't marry, you will be disrespectful, and the nine clans of the Ling family will be beheaded. ”
Ling Yuehua was shocked by her father's momentum and stopped crying in a daze. What should I do? Disrespect is definitely not a trivial matter. Can pass through the prince of the river......
"The daughter is unwilling to marry the prince of Tongjiang, and everyone outside knows that the prince of Tongjiang is tyrannical, and how many people in the house have been tortured to death by him. If the daughter marries, will she still have a life? Ling Yuehua sobbed and made a final struggle.
Ling Shangshu didn't know that these things that his daughter said were all rumored outside. Not to mention that he didn't want to believe it, I'm afraid that the people of the whole city now know about it.
Mrs. Ling sat on the side and frowned, from the time she learned that her daughter had hanged herself, Mrs. Ling had not said a word. He just frowned tightly and twisted the silk handkerchief in his hand.
"Yue'er, Dad knows that you are wronged. But for the sake of the Ling family, you can marry it. After all, you're a wife, and no matter how much he's a bastard, he can't do such an unethical thing. Ling Shangshu felt that he was many years older.
Chonghua took Que'er's hand and hurried to Yuanhui Courtyard slowly, the eldest lady's life or death really had nothing to do with her, but Que'er begged her to come here to make a show, so as not to resentful her in the future because of this. Chonghua's heart is in turmoil. I had to follow the finch here first. Let's see.
The little maids were all guarding the door, and when they saw Chonghua and the finch coming, they had to go in and pass through. Who knew that as soon as Ling Yuehua heard that the second young lady was coming, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.
"Dad, let the second sister marry her. The second sister is also the mother's daughter. ”
Chonghua, who had just walked into the room with one foot, was caught off guard by the eldest lady's happy voice. What did she hear?
Standing at the door in a daze, he forgot to turn around and leave for a while.
Ling Shangshu and Mrs. Ling looked at Chonghua at the door at the same time. Different thoughts flashed in his eyes.
Seeing her parents like this, Ling Yuehua thought that there was room for relaxation, so she hurriedly added: "Back then, the first emperor only said that the daughter of the Ling family was married to the prince of Tongjiang, but he did not say in detail whether it was the eldest daughter. The second sister is also the daughter of her mother. It is also possible to let the second sister marry in the past. ”
Chonghua opened his eyes wide and looked at Ling Yuehua who was crying on the bed. As a bystander, Chonghua didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Ling Yuehua doing this. People don't kill for themselves, if they can let the concubines die for themselves, in fact, these concubines won't blink their eyes.
But now, she is standing at the door! She is also the person who is called the second sister. Could it be that she was asked to marry Ling Yuehua?
"Master, He'er is also the daughter of a concubine." Mrs. Ling didn't speak for a long time, and the first sentence she said was to decide Chonghua's going and staying.
Ling Shangshu was a little embarrassed. Outsiders may not know, but how many people in the house know that the second daughter Ling Yuehe is the concubine born to her aunt. Although it is recorded in the name of the mother-in-law, the concubine is a concubine after all. How do you mess up?
"Dad, the second sister doesn't go out on weekdays, and no one knows that she is a concubine. Since the second sister is registered in her mother's name, she is also a concubine. Ling Yuehua seemed to have pinched a life-saving straw. Desperate to convince his father.
Ling Shangshu looked at his eldest daughter who was crying in the sea of red eyes, his wife with an indifferent face, and his second daughter who was looking at him with wide eyes.
His brow furrowed.
"Let's talk about this matter again." Ling Shangshu turned around and walked out of the room. I went to the study.
Chonghua held the finch and stood at the door. The mind is still chaotic. The sudden realization of her dreams was a blow to her. Now let her be married. How can this work.
"Que'er, Miss Fu Er went back to Qiushui Pavilion to rest, don't go around these days. Wait to get married with peace of mind. Madam Ling's cold voice was like snow falling from her head. The whole body of Chonghua was soaked.
"I ......" Chonghua felt that he should defend himself, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't say a word.
What should she say? I'm not the second lady of your family, I'm not from your world? I'm afraid I'm going to be locked up as a psychopath before I finish speaking. Maybe you'll be dodged with some kind of medicine. Or sent to a temple in the mountains and forced to become a monk. These are all from the perspective of novels.
Mrs. Ling coldly looked at Chonghua, who was trying to say something at the door, and turned her face lightly: "The dowry won't wronged you, you can go back." ”
Chonghua was helped back to Qiushui Pavilion by the finch. Strange environment, strange touch. Chonghua asked the finch to guard the door, and he held the quilt in the corner of the bed. Shivering.
What to do? What to do? Could it be that she has to stay here for the rest of her life? Will you never wake up again? The article at hand has not ended, and the daily update has not been saved, and only two lines were written after agreeing to Alice's column, and Nicole is still at home with no one to take care of her......
The face is cool. Chonghua touched the tears on his face in surprise. She cried?
I thought I would have no regrets if I disappeared at any time. But when I found that I really couldn't go back, I found that there was so much attachment and reluctance.
It was dark, and the finch asked if she wanted to hold the lamp. Chonghua told her not to come in at the door. Que'er was anxious, worried about whether Chonghua was also planning to be like the eldest lady. Crying and begging her not to think about it.
Chonghua hugged his arms tightly and said nothing.
No, she can't sit still.
