Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows: "The Lu Guogong Mansion is not an unreasonable family, if the little grandfather really can't recover anymore, he must not force Tong Yuyao to marry." ”

Cui Lingling smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yes! The Lu Guogong Mansion sent a steward to send back the marriage letters of the two families early in the morning, but the grandfather did not agree, and the grandfather felt that at this time, the two families would withdraw from the marriage and others would say that the Tong family was ungrateful.

My sister didn't want to marry, so she secretly hanged herself in the courtyard, saying that she was not the daughter of the Tong family, and the whole family was crying around her, and finally my brother proposed to marry me, and my father glanced at me and agreed without much hesitation,"

Then they happily went to comfort Tong Yuyao, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, while she stood alone in the corner.

At that moment, she realized that there were some things that could not be forced.

Shen Mingjiao rubbed her hair, "What's the matter?" There is a saying that they dislike you in every way now, and you will make them unattainable in the future. ”

Cui Lingling chuckled: "Well, although it's unlikely, it's very cool to hear." ”

But at this time, Qiu Ju came in to report that someone from the Tong Mansion had come to pick up Cui Lingling back.

Shen Mingjiao asked, "Who is here?" ”

"He said that he was the eldest prince of the house."

Cui Lingling lowered his head and smiled when he heard this. "It's really strange, since I went home, my eldest brother has never looked at me with a straight eye, and he still knows how to pick me up!"

She leaned lazily back in the lap chair, not wanting to go back at all.

Shen Mingjiao asked her, "Then what are your plans?" ”

"I don't want to see the Tong family at all now, they want me to go back, just because they want me to marry and go to the Lu Guogong Mansion to be happy."

Shen Mingjiao's eyes flashed, "Actually, aside from these, it is also a good choice for you to marry the Lu State Mansion." ”

Cui Lingling glared at her in surprise, thinking that she had misheard.

Shen Mingjiao coughed lightly and said: "Don't say anything else, you think, looking at all kinds of romance scripts, but all those who start with full joy, which one does not come to a big reversal in the end, and in the end, all of them are happy couples and Shun without exception!" ”

Cui Lingling is very good at grasping the key points, her eyes are shining and she asked, "What do you mean, what kind of little grandfather is good-looking?" Better looking than your Royal Highness? ”

Shen Mingjiao paused, and then nodded very affirmatively: "Well, it is guaranteed to be the type you like." ”

Cui Lingling was finally in a better mood. He stood up, clapped his hands, and left the house. She also knows that things can't just drag on, and some things have to be faced.

Although she knew that Cui Lingling had the ability to protect herself, Shen Mingjiao was still a little uneasy, so she asked Wang Dashan, who had the best light skills, to follow secretly.

Cui Lingling left the palace, and saw the eldest prince Tong standing in front of the carriage waiting for her,

Seeing that it took her so long to come out, his face was obviously impatient, and he thought of something, but he forcibly held back.

When Cui Lingling saw him, he didn't greet him warmly as before, but got into the carriage without saying a word. Tong Gongzi's face was a little ugly. I secretly cursed in my heart for being uneducated!

Even though he knew that Cui Lingling was his own sister, he didn't look down on it in his heart. The only sister he admitted in his heart was the smart and gentle Tong Yuyao.

Back at Tong's Mansion, it was lunch time at this time, when Cui Lingling stepped into the main courtyard, he saw that the family was sitting around eating together, although he adhered to the rule of eating without saying a word, but he could see a little joy from the smiling expressions of several people.

Cui Lingling's body paused almost undetectably, putting aside the illusion of so-called family affection, and now facing these again, she was only a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She didn't look at a few more people, and planned to go back to her room to sleep first. Master Tong stopped her, frowned, and said, "It's been a few months since you went back to Tong's house, why don't you understand the rules at all!" ”

Cui Lingling was silent and did not speak.

Master Tong didn't seem to be too lazy to talk to her anymore, raised his hand and knocked on the table, and said lightly:

"I have already agreed with the Lu Guogong Mansion, and in three days, you will marry."

Tong Yuyao on the side was completely relieved when she heard this. Looking at Cui Lingling's gaze, it was dim.

Cui Lingling raised his head, stared at Lord Tong coldly, and said word by word: "What if...... I said I don't want to? ”

Lord Tong was stunned for a moment, the Tong family loves to talk about rules from top to bottom, so in his cognition, a woman should lower her head when she speaks.

reacted and was very angry:

"I'm here to inform you, not to discuss with you,"

Cui Lingling smiled calmly, still the same sentence: "But I don't want to!" ”

Master Tong was so angry that his fingers trembled, and he directly grabbed a cup in his hand and threw it straight at him:

"There are no rules, who taught you to talk like this to your elders!"

Cui Lingling dodged sideways flexibly, still standing so straight,

She thought calmly in her heart, let the storm come more violently! It also made her completely dead.

Mrs. Tong on the side was also startled, she hurriedly stood up, but persuaded Cui Lingling: "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't apologize to your father yet! ”

Cui Lingling looked at Mrs. Tong and asked, "Mother, did you ever think I was your daughter for a moment?" ”

Mrs. Tong instinctively lowered her eyes and said lightly: "What did you say, you were originally my daughter." ”

Then she said: "Don't blame your mother, Yao'er is too soft, if the little grandfather of the Luguo Mansion really has a good one in the future, she will have to be widowed for the rest of her life!"

And you didn't grow up in the mansion since you were a child, and your family affairs are already difficult, although the little grandfather is not in good health, but the Luguo Mansion has a lot of money, at least you can eat and drink for the rest of your life. ”

She knew that it was a little unfair to do this, but she couldn't help it, Yao'er had never suffered since she was a child, how could she marry someone to be a widow?

Rao already had a guess, but Cui Lingling still had a faint sourness in his heart.

She still said, "I don't want to." ”

Then he stopped looking at everyone's reactions and walked quickly back to his room. Master Tong was so angry that he smashed the cup again.

Tong Yuyao clutched the handkerchief, lowered her head and whispered:

"Or ...... I'll marry you! Now seeing that my sister doesn't agree to anything, what if she can't think of sneaking out of the house for a while, if she goes to find Princess Su at that time, then the reputation of our Tong Mansion will be damaged? ”

Seeing that she was obviously very scared, but for the sake of the reputation of their Tong Mansion, she still bravely said this, and the two sons of the Tong Mansion, who had been sitting on one side and had not spoken, suddenly felt distressed, and the youngest third prince said:

"My sister is just too kind, but this thing is easy to do, let's find someone to watch her yard and don't let her go out."

Tong Yuyao lowered her head and picked up the tea, and the corners of her mouth hooked with satisfaction.

Cui Lingling went back to the house and lay on the bed in a daze. One side of the window seemed to move, and she lazily lowered her eyelids.

At this time, Tong Yuyao pushed the door and walked in, sat on the side of his bed, and whispered softly as always: "Is there anything uncomfortable about my sister?" ”

Cui Lingling glanced at her lightly and didn't speak,

Tong Yuyao's face did not change at all, and she continued to take her hand and said to herself:

"You haven't eaten since the morning, you're hungry this time, I asked the kitchen to make you glutinous rice balls, and someone bought this for you, get up and try it."

After saying that, the maid stepped forward, and there was a cup of her favorite milk tea on the tray, but Mrs. Tong disliked this thing and did not allow her to buy it.

Cui Lingling reached out and picked up the cup of milk tea, put it to her lips through the straw and sniffed it.

Tong Yuyao's fingers clenched subconsciously.
