After Situ Qianchen left, Song Yuan and Ling Jiantong got into a carriage and headed for Ling's mansion.

On the carriage, Song Yuan looked at the smile on the corner of Ling Jiantong's mouth on the opposite side with a gloomy face, full of unhappiness: "Ling Jiantong, don't blame me for not reminding you, although our marriage is only a mutually beneficial relationship, but as a woman, since you are married to me, you can't look at other men anymore." ”

There was a thorn in her words, Ling Jiantong lowered her head and looked up, and she looked at the pockmarked face opposite: "What?" You are only allowed to go to the Qinglou to find a girl, and I am not allowed to go to see other handsome guys to raise my eyes? ”

"This is different, I am a man, it is normal to have three wives and four concubines, you are a woman, the most important thing is to follow three virtues and four virtues." Song Yuan argued with reason.

"Cut, what three from four virtues, bullshit feudal." Ling Jiantong turned her head disdainfully, and hummed a few slight complaints from her nostrils, Song Yuan didn't hear clearly, but judging from Ling Jiantong's expression alone, she knew that she must not be able to spit out any ivory in her mouth.

Good men don't fight with women, Song Yuan lowered his head and played with the cui wrench on his thumb, and said casually: "You weren't in the house just now, I have already discussed the marriage date with Master Ling, that is, your father, it is the fifth day of the first month of this month, don't run around when you go back, prepare well." ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, Ling Jiantong came down to her senses, and patted the cushion under her, if it weren't for the canopy of this carriage, she couldn't wait to jump up: "What did you say?" The fifth day of the month?! Why is it so rushed! ”

On the fifth day of the first month, isn't that just ten days later?

Song Yuan raised his eyes and looked up at Ling Jiantong, who seemed to be eating people, and his tone was slightly cold: "Don't be in a hurry, this day is actually proposed by your father, I think your father is afraid of long nights and dreams, and you regret getting married and running away, so I want you to marry me hastily, right?" ”

This old man......

The carriage happened to stop at the door of Ling's mansion, and as soon as Ling Jiantong lifted the curtain, he hurriedly wanted to jump out of the car and go back to ask for an understanding, but Song Yuan, who was still sitting in the car behind him, grabbed her wrist and looked ambiguous: "Don't worry, if you marry me, I will definitely not let you suffer, I will definitely treat you well." ”

This tone, this expression, and saying such a look would only make Ling Jiantong look even more disgusting, and she shook his hand and said fiercely, "I won't let you succeed." ”

Along the way, the maids and subordinates all stopped to say hello to Ling Jiantong, but unfortunately, where does Ling Jiantong still have this mind now, and when she ran to the hall, she didn't see Ling Peng, but she saw Ling Lin who wanted her life before at first sight.

"Yo, what's going on? What caused my sister to be so angry, could it be that Song Gongzi couldn't wait and wanted to marry his sister tonight? Ling Lin had something to say, full of sarcastic smiles, which made Ling Jiantong glare back.

She didn't have the time to argue with Ling Lin now, she bypassed it directly, walked to Ling Peng, who was sitting on the brocade couch, and opened her mouth to say: "Dad, I'm still not your biological daughter, are you in such a hurry to marry me to that kind of scumbag for the sake of power?" ”

Ling Peng closed his eyes slightly, closed the book spread out in his hand, raised his eyes to look at the emotional Ling Jiantong, and frowned: "Jiantong, did you say that about your fiancé?" Song Gongzi is the son of the servant of the Criminal Department, what an honor it is for the Song family to look at our family, why don't you know how to cherish it? ”

"Cherish?" Ling Jiantong suddenly felt funny: "That's Dad, you think he's good, his daughter doesn't think so, if he really cares about his daughter, he won't obviously have a marriage contract, and take other girls back to the house to have fun, he ......"

"Enough!" Ling Peng stood up abruptly and interrupted Ling Jiantong's words: "There is nothing wrong with a man's three wives and four concubines, as a woman's family, you should keep to yourself, no matter how you say it, you will soon be the young lady of the Song family, no matter how many concubines Song Gongzi accepts in the future, you are all wives, and your status is one level higher than theirs, what are you not satisfied with." ”

Ling Jiantong's eyes widened, I'll go, is this Ling Jiantong born to Ling Peng?

Originally, he was still angry, but after listening to Ling Peng's words, it was like pouring a basin of cold water on his head, and Ling Jiantong was now completely awake.

"Okay, I understand, no wonder my mother died, you also married the Huang family, the Huang family and her daughter teamed up to bully your biological daughter, you are indifferent, you are a father like you, don't do it, since you have taken a fancy to Song Yuan, then you go and marry him in this marriage, I will not marry him if I am killed!"

Ling Jiantong was heartbroken, and now she didn't care about Ling Peng, who was so angry that her face was flushed, she turned around and was about to leave, but she didn't take a few steps before she heard Ling Peng say angrily: "Come on, tie up the eldest lady for me and send her to the room, and you are not allowed to let her go out until the day of marriage!" ”

Ling Jiantong was stunned, and before she could react, she didn't know where two subordinates came from and tied her up with a rope.

"Ling Peng, you let go of me! Even if you were like that, I wouldn't get married! ”

The two subordinates escorted Ling Jiantong, and gradually moved away, and Ling Peng angrily threw the book in his hand to the ground.

Five days passed like this, and Xiao Tao quickly unlocked the long lock with the food box and walked into the somewhat dark house.

Ling Jiantong leaned against the pillar with a tired face, looking half-dead, anyone who saw it would feel distressed.

"Miss, you haven't eaten a grain of rice for five days, you should be kind and eat a bite, or you don't have the strength to put on a wedding dress to see your uncle." Xiao Tao held the fragrant rice and comforted worriedly.

The aroma of rice wafted down the heat to Ling Jiantong's nose, but she was still staring blankly, not reacting, and not speaking.

"Miss, Xiao Tao begs you, don't go against the master, in fact, the master still loves you very much, as long as you take it softly, maybe the master will ......" Xiao Tao wanted to continue, but suddenly bumped into Ling Jiantong's somewhat empty eyes, and she closed her mouth in fear.

Just when Xiao Tao didn't know what to do, the door was pushed open, and a ray of dazzling sunlight shone in, which made Ling Jiantong squint, except for Xiao Tao, no one had come to see her in the past five days, at this time, Ling Jiantong could only think of her, and only she would have time to see her jokes.

Ling Lin wore an emerald green skirt, and when she walked, the hem of her clothes swayed like a blooming flower, but unfortunately, when she wore it on Ling Lin's body, she was like the reincarnation of a snake spirit.

Ling Lin glanced at Ling Jiantong, who was pale, very arrogantly, and then stretched out her hand to signal Xiao Tao, who was kneeling beside her, to let her go down.

Although Xiao Tao was worried, she also had to retreat outside the door.

There were only the two of them left in the room, and somehow, the atmosphere around them began to turn weird.

Ling Lin looked at the coarse tea and light rice on the table, and couldn't help but show a pitiful expression: "Dad is really, this meal is obviously leftover from us, and we are going to feed the pigs, why did it come here?" ”

Ling Jiantong's head was leaning on the red pillar, and a pair of beautiful eyes that captivated the city and the country had lost their former brilliance at this time, but the stubbornness and perseverance in the eyes still existed: "Sister, why do you have time to come to see me?" Could it be that there is some good news to share with me, an unfavored sister? ”

Ling Lin covered her mouth with her hand, chuckled twice, and then turned around in front of Ling Jiantong: "Sister, this is the clothes that my father specially asked the best tailor in the capital to make for me, you see, is it good-looking?" ”

Ling Jiantong glanced at her and looked away: "If you come to show off your clothes to me, then I advise you, you are in the wrong place." ”

"My sister is wrong again, the important thing is not the clothes, but the person I want to meet in this dress, my sister knows." Ling Lin bent down at this moment, her eyebrows raised slightly.

Know?

Seeing that Ling Jiantong didn't speak, Ling Lin could only solve the mystery by herself: "The Seventh Prince came to visit our Ling Mansion today, and my father intended to let me marry him, so I could let the maids dress me up more beautifully." ”

It turned out to be Mu Jinghong.

The corners of Ling Jiantong's mouth suddenly raised a smile, as if he was mocking and didn't care at all.

Ling Lin's face froze: "Ling Jiantong, what do you mean by laughing?" ”

"It's not interesting, I just can't imagine the scene where Mu Jinghong will marry a wife." After Ling Jiantong finished speaking, he couldn't help laughing out loud, indeed, if a playboy like him can marry a wife and be single-minded with a woman, then I'm afraid that sows all over the world will go up the tree.

"Sister, this is your mistake, you are clearly envious of my life and the person who married is ten million times better than you."

Ling Jiantong sometimes really convinces Ling Lin, her Ah Q spirit is not as powerful as ordinary.

However, she may not be able to see Mu Jinghong today.

Ling Jian's pale lips suddenly evoked a sly smile.

In the hall of Ling's mansion, Mu Jinghong played with the folding fan in his hand, sat on the chair, raised his eyes and smiled: "Master Ling is looking for me this time, but is there something?" ”

Ling Peng lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly, his eyes glanced at the back of the hall from time to time, how could he not even see a shadow when he said that he had come over at this hour?

"Actually, there is nothing wrong, the last time the little girl's marriage was thanks to you, the Seventh Prince, so I want to ask the Seventh Prince to stay in the house for a meal to express my gratitude."

"Oh" Mu Jinghong raised his head slightly, and his deep eyes turned: "I'm just an errand runner, I wonder if Miss Ling is still satisfied with this marriage?" I've heard that five days later, it's the day we get married. ”

"Satisfied, the seventh prince doesn't know, the little girl has been in love with Song Gongzi for a long time, it's not ......"

"Master, it's not good, it's not good!"

Ling Peng hated it the most when he was being interrupted while he was talking, he frowned and got up and said sharply: "What are you yelling about? Didn't you see the Seventh Lord here? ”

The villain's face was full of panic, he lowered his head and said, "Master, eldest lady...... Miss...... She ran away! ”
