Xiao Wushi was talking to his three daughters in the room, and when he heard Amber say that Lin Jiuniang hadn't come back yet, he didn't think much about it, but just snorted and said: "Wild girl, I finally went out, I must have gone somewhere." ”

Lin Wuniang and Lin Qiniang echoed on the side.

Lin Siniang's expression was a little unnatural, she just sat on the side and was stunned, but did not speak.

Xiao Wushi saw her strange appearance and hurriedly asked, "Siniang, what's wrong?" What's uncomfortable? ”

Lin Siniang reluctantly smiled and said, "It's nothing." ”

But I secretly thought in my heart, didn't my plan succeed?

Lin Siniang's big girl Begonia and the little maid in the stable Minghe secretly had a private affair, and they were discovered by Lin Siniang half a year ago.

The Lin family strictly forbade the maids to give and accept each other privately, and the matter was revealed, and Begonia and Minghe were naturally so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, and they repeatedly kowtowed and begged Lin Siniang to let them live.

Lin Siniang had a crooked mind, and took the opportunity to take Minghe as a confidant, promising that as long as they had no other intentions for themselves, they would not only let their lovers eventually become dependents in the future, but also mention Minghe as a steward and have a good future.

The crane and the begonia were like being amnestied, and they immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said yes again and again.

This time, as soon as Lin Siniang heard that Lin Jiuniang was going out to worship her biological mother, she hurriedly instructed Haitang to let Minghe do something on the wheel hub of the carriage where Lin Jiuniang traveled, so that the wheel hub would break down if it lasted more than ten miles.

As soon as the wheel hub breaks down halfway, it will naturally delay the trip, maybe Lin Jiuniang will postpone the time to go home because of this, and even will not return home at night.

Now it seems that this plan should have been done.

Lin Siniang secretly rejoiced in her heart.

Although Lin Jiuniang is still young this year, she will not return all night, which will greatly tarnish the reputation of the woman, and maybe, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion will seize this handle and propose a replacement to the Lin family.

After all, the prince of Zhongyong Hou definitely doesn't want to marry an illegitimate daughter and go back to be his wife, if he has a choice, he definitely wants to marry his daughter, and he is the oldest and most favored daughter of the Lin family at the moment.

Taking a step back, even if the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion cared about the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and did not propose to replace her for a while, Lin Jiuniang's image in the hearts of the Hou Ye, Mrs. and the prince will definitely be greatly reduced, and she will definitely find fault to replace her in the future.

And if this is the case, he is the most suitable replacement in terms of age and identity.

Lin Siniang was thinking about what was wrong, Lin Wuniang tugged at the corner of her clothes, she was slightly shocked, and when she looked up, she found that Xiao Wushi was looking at her.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

Xiao Wushi glanced at her suspiciously, and said, "Didn't you say just now, your fourth cousin is coming to Fuzhou next month, I want to ask you what you mean." ”

Lin Siniang understood Xiao Wu's meaning, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but pull down, revealing a trace of disdain.

The fourth cousin mentioned by Xiao Wu's family is the fourth young master of Xiao Wu's mother's Wu family, Wu Qiyu.

The Wu family is a scholarly family, although the assets can only be regarded as a small rich family, but the children of the clan are diligent in reading, and many of them have obtained fame, so the Wu family is quite famous in the local area.

And Wu Qiyu is one of the best.

He is sixteen years old this year, he has already won the show two years earlier, and now he is preparing to take the exam.

Wu Qiyu is the only brother of the Xiao Wu family and the only son of the third master of the Wu family.

Because of this relationship, Xiao Wushi attaches great importance to Wu Qiyu, especially in recent years, Xiao Wushi has gradually accepted the fact that he can no longer have children, and he is even more concerned about his only nephew.

The third master of the Wu family is a concubine, and his status in the family is average, and if the family is divided in the future, he will not be able to share many assets, so he has the idea of letting Wu Qiyu marry the daughter of the Lin family.

After all, the Lin family has a big business, and the dowry when Lin Yuanniang got married more than ten years ago was already as much as 40,000 taels, and the Lin family's business has become more and more prosperous in recent years.

And Xiao Wushi is also optimistic about Wu Qiyu's future, thinking that he will be able to pass the exam sooner or later, and his daughter will become the wife of Shangguan sooner or later. Therefore, she also secretly gave the third master Wu a breath, if she comes to propose marriage in the future, she needs to say that the number of dowries is higher, anyway, no matter how many dowries the Wu family makes, she will let her daughter bring it back to the Wu family, anyway, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders.

When Master Wu San heard his sister make such a promise, he was even more overjoyed, and he felt a little more confident in his heart, and he talked to Wu Qiyu all day and night to make him think about whether to marry Lin Siniang, Lin Wuniang or Lin Qiniang.

Xiao Wushi is very concerned about this family business, but Lin Siniang doesn't think so.

A few years ago, she met Wu Qiyu.

Indeed, Wu Qiyu is not bad in terms of appearance, temperament, or even literary talent, and she is also considerate to her cousin.

But no matter how good Wu Qiyu is, he can't be as good as Bai Xiuyang, even if he is qualified in the examination in the future and wins the Jinshi, he can't go beyond Bai Xiuyang.

At this time, Lin Siniang's heart was full of Bai Xiuyang, where could she still look at Wu Qiyu?

Therefore, Lin Siniang said lukewarmly: "Oh, what does my mother want to ask us? ”

As soon as Xiao Wushi saw Lin Siniang's expression, he knew that the boss in her heart was unhappy, so he turned to Lin Wuniang again and asked, "Wuniang, what do you think?" ”

Lin Wuniang was a little timid and said, "I don't know what the fourth cousin thinks." ”

Xiao Wushi looked at Lin Wuniang, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart again.

Among the nine daughters of the Lin family, the most beautiful is Lin Liuniang, who came out of the second room.

followed by Lin Yuanniang, the eldest daughter of the eldest daughter of the big house who had already married.

Further down, it is Lin Jiuniang, who Xiao Wu's hated the most.

And the three daughters born to Xiao Wu's family, Lin Siniang's appearance is acceptable, Lin Wuniang's appearance is mediocre, only Lin Qiniang is slightly better, and she can be regarded as beautiful.

But Wu Qiyu is a handsome young man, suave and graceful.

What if Wu Qiyu doesn't like his three daughters?

Xiao Wushi rubbed the handkerchief in his hand irritably.

It's really not going well!

In Xiao Wu's plan, one of the three daughters should marry into the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion as the wife of the prince, the other should marry Wu Qiyu as the wife of the official, and the last one should marry a local middle-class family in Fuzhou to stay by his side, and he will have a good care when he is old in the future.

But now it is Lin Jiuniang who is engaged to the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, although Lin Siniang swore to herself, saying that she would definitely find a way to make the Marquis of Zhongyong change her mind, but Xiao Wu's heart has never been bottomless.

After all, Lin Jiuniang has Lin Zhilan's support behind her, no matter how smart Lin Siniang is, she is just a teenage daughter, what trick can she come up with?

The affairs of the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion can still be plotted slowly, after all, the prince Bai Xiuyang is only fourteen years old this year, but Wu Qiyu is already sixteen years old, and he can't afford to delay it, so he has to settle the matter quickly.

Xiao Wushi was thinking about it, when a maid came in to report: "The eldest wife, the second wife is here." ”
