Chapter 616: Humble background
Yan Yue on the side lowered her head shyly, she knew that what Chen Lin was referring to must be their marriage.
Maisie sighed again: "Yan Yue, there is something I haven't told you all along, in fact, before this trip, I have already set your marriage!" ”
Her words were like a bolt from the blue, and Chen Lin and Maisie were both stunned by the sudden bad news.
Chen Lin was furious and said: "Maisie, I have never seen such a despicable woman as you, if you are unwilling to marry Yan Yue to me, even if you say it bluntly, why weave such a lie?" ”
Maisie sneered: "Chen Lin, is it necessary for me to tell lies to a lowly guy like you?" She took out a parchment roll from the side and threw it at Chen Lin's feet: "You can see clearly, General Sima had already proposed to me a month ago that he wanted to take Yanyue as a concubine, and the marriage contract had already been decided!" ”
Chen Lin picked up the parchment scroll, only to see that the marriage contract between Yan Yue and Sima Tianfeng was clearly written on it, and the payment was indeed a month ago, judging from the seal and fire paint on it, this marriage contract should not be forged.
Yan Yue said with tears in her eyes: "Master, but I never agreed!" ”
Maisie sighed and said, "Yanyue, think about it carefully, I asked you before I traveled, how did you answer me at that time?" She paused, then replied, "You say it's all up to the master!" ”
Two lines of tears slowly slid down Yan Yue's cheeks, she did say so, but she didn't expect that Maisie would make a marriage contract for her just by virtue of her words, not to mention that Chen Lin hadn't appeared at that time.
Chen Lin roared angrily, his hands tried to tear the sheepskin roll, but the sheepskin was full of toughness, no matter how he tore it, he couldn't achieve what he wanted, he angrily threw the sheepskin roll aside, pointed at Maisie and said, "Maisie! Do you remember what you promised me? You said that as long as I cured the wolf yuan, you would marry Yan Yue to me as a wife. ”
Maisie nodded and said, "Not bad! I did say it, but the laws of the empire cannot be changed, a daughter can only be married to one husband's family, Yan Yue and General Sima's marriage contract is in front, even if I promise to marry Yan Yue to you, with Yan Yue's current identity, I can't marry you! ”
Chen Lin's handsome face became distorted by anger, and he rushed towards Maisie desperately, Yan Yue blocked his way with tears, crying out: "Chen Lin! If you still have me in your heart, quit honestly! When Chen Lin met Yan Yue's sad and mournful eyes, he couldn't help but feel a tingling in his heart, and finally nodded and walked out of the door silently.
As soon as Chen Lin walked out of the door, Yan Yue fell to the ground with tears in her eyes and begged: "I beg the master to take back his life and cancel the marriage contract between Yan Yue and General Sima." ”
Maisie sighed quietly, slowly came to Yan Yue's side, stretched out her hand to help her up from the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Yan Yue, are you really willing to be me?" ”
Yan Yuefang's heart trembled, but she saw that Maisie's ice blue eyes were full of tears, obviously the pain in her heart was not below her.
Maisie said gloomily: "Sima Tianfeng is the son of Sima Tai, the prime minister of the dynasty, and the Sima family is high and powerful, how can I, a small person, be offended?" For the sake of Chen Lin's matter, we have already offended Chongwen Hou Zhu Yi, if you really marry Chen Lin, it will inevitably anger Sima Tianfeng, and then not only Chen Lin will inevitably die, but even you and I will definitely be implicated. ”
As soon as Maisie said this, Yan Yue realized that the reality was far from being as beautiful as she imagined, as long as she married Chen Lin, not only could she not find any happiness, but would send the two to a dead end.
Maisie said: "In terms of status, Chen Lin is just a lowly slave, and Sima Tianfeng is the son of the prime minister, and he is the leader among the young generals of the empire, in terms of character, Chen Lin is lustful and greedy, and is snobbish, and Sima Tianfeng's conduct is well-known in the imperial capital, if you marry him, you are the prime minister's daughter-in-law, and the general's wife is a thousand times better than marrying a slave." ”
Yan Yue suddenly asked, "What is the master in love with General Wolf?" Is it his background, or is it his illustrious military exploits? ”
Maisie was speechless for a moment.
Yan Yue said softly: "If General Wolf is just an ordinary person, will the master still love him as much as he does now?" ”
Maisie still didn't answer, but she already had an answer in her heart, no matter whether Wolf Yuan was rich or poor, she would always love him and not change, what moved Wolf Yuan was not his life experience and status, but him as a person. Maisie had already understood what Yan Yue was thinking, and said in a low voice, "Yan Yue......"
Yan Yue interrupted her words sadly: "If it wasn't for the master to save me, Yan Yue would have been sold to a brothel, Yan Yue's life was given by the master, and everything in Yan Yue belongs to the master......"
Maisie was already teary-eyed.
Yan Yue respectfully bowed three times in front of Maisie: "Don't worry, master, Yan Yue knows what to do!" ”
Chen Lin had been guarding the door, and when he saw Yan Yue coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Yan Yue, you don't have to be afraid, I have already thought of a way, tomorrow I will go with you to beg the old wolf general, for the sake of me saving the wolf yuan, he will definitely help us." ”
Yan Yue nodded silently, and said softly: "Chen Lin, you have been busy for the past two days, let's go back and rest first, and then talk about the important things until tomorrow." ”
Chen Lin nodded, and repeatedly admonished: "You must not be afraid of Maisie's three-eight, since she dares to be the first year of junior high school, we will be fifteen, such a capricious woman, she deserves that the old wolf general will not let her enter the door!" He quietly made up his mind that if Maisie dared to stop them again, he would kill this woman with one shot.
Although Maisie did not return the contract to Chen Lin, she was obviously much more tolerant of Chen Lin, and Chen Lin could walk freely in the farm, and the treatment was the same as that of other samurai.
Remembering that he hadn't seen Oscar and Ada for many days, Chen Lin asked where the two of them lived and went to visit Oscar's injury.
Oscar seemed to have recovered a lot, sitting lazily in front of the flower room and basking in the sun. Ada was arranging the flowers and plants in the flower room, and when he saw Chen Lin coming, Oscar hurriedly stood up from the bench and shouted stiffly: "Master......"
Chen Lin showed a hint of a smile, and Ada came to Chen Lin's side with a smile: "Oscar has been trying hard to learn imperial dialect from me for the past two days, and he has practiced this sentence thousands of times. ”
Chen Lin grabbed Oscar's shoulder and asked him to sit down again. Ada brought a tree stump and beckoned Chen Lin to sit down.
Chen Lin said: "In the past few days, have they embarrassed you? ”
Ada shook her head and said, "Miss Lizhu once came, and she said that Oscar and I are the eldest princess's people, and when Oscar recovers from his injuries, she will send us over, and she doesn't feel sorry for us." Just give us some idle odd jobs, guard this flower house, and take care of the pond behind it. ”
Chen Lin nodded and said, "It's best if you're okay, the eldest princess shouldn't be too bad, and when you come to her house in the future, I won't be harsh on you." ”
