I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times Chapter 141

Chapter 141 I want to break off the engagement

 Lingchu was surprised.

As for Grandma Wang, she is engaged to the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao?

 She subconsciously looked through the memories in her mind, but she didn't find anything about the engagement.

 It seems that the original owner, like her, knew nothing about the marriage.

What surprised Lingchu was that when she glanced at everyone, she saw the same surprised look on their faces as hers.

 An idea suddenly came to her mind.

 Could it be that Mrs. Tai and the others don't know about this marriage?

 This is interesting.

Lingchu couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ms. Dong. There was no surprise on her mother's face.

 It seems that this marriage was decided by her.

She has been fostered in Xuanqingguan since she was a child. It is not surprising that Mr. Dong arranged a marriage for her without telling her.

What Lingchu didn't understand was why Dong wanted to hide it from the Madam and the others.

  Could it be that there is something fishy about her marriage?

 Many thoughts flashed through Lingchu's mind. Although she was suspicious, she was not in a hurry to speak.

She knows nothing about this marriage, so why not listen to what Mrs. Dong and Grandma Wang have to say first.

Mrs. Tai and the others were indeed like Ling Chu in that they did not know that Dong had engaged her.

Mrs. Tai was angry at this moment. Although she didn't like Ling Chu, she was still a girl from her Ling family.

She subconsciously wanted to ask Mr. Dong whether he didn't take her mother-in-law seriously when he decided to get married without telling her.

Just as he glanced at Grandma Wang, he had to swallow the question.

If she asks questions now, it will only make the Duke of Zhao laugh.

Mother Wang was talking to Mrs. Dong at this time and did not notice the surprise on the faces of Mrs. Tai and others.

"Mrs. Ling, our wife said that although your Shangshu Mansion has declined, the rules and etiquette cannot be lost. If you can't teach the eldest daughter well, our Duke's Mansion can send a nun to take care of the eldest daughter's education. Education.”

Being accused by a nanny in public, Ms. Dong was angry, but she had to suppress her anger, "Mom, you are too worried. My first sister has been fostered in a Taoist temple since she was a child, and her temperament has been raised to be more straightforward. It is inevitable that she will return to Beijing for the first time. I am curious about the capital, but I just want to go out and have a look.”

"Let's take a look. I don't think so? We, madam, have heard that the eldest girl recently set up a stall to tell people's fortunes on the Royal Street. Madam Ling, do you think that the people in Duke Zhao's mansion are all fools and can be allowed to do whatever they want? Are you fooling me?" Grandma Wang's words were sarcastic. If she hadn't been frightened just now and had scruples in her heart, she would have said it even more harshly.

Seeing that Mrs. Dong was so ridiculed by Grandma Wang that she couldn't stand up, the wife had to say, "Mom, I've said it before. My first sister has indeed been setting up a stall in Yu Street recently to tell fortunes. She is young and ignorant, and she is just making trouble. Let's play. Please also ask Grandma to reassure Madam Guogong that we, the First Sister, will not set up stalls again in the future…”

Ling Chu frowned, feeling that all the words she had just said to the Madam and the others were in vain.

　　"Mrs. Tai is still sensible and sensible. We, the Duke of Zhao, do not want to marry a bluffing girl to become the eldest prince's concubine."

Ling Chu sneered, your Duke Zhao's office doesn't want to marry her, but she doesn't want to marry yet.

Originally, I wanted to hear how her marriage came about, but after listening over and over again, I didn't hear anything important.

Ling Chu simply asked Mrs. Dong directly, "Mom, when did you arrange a marriage for me and Mr. Zhao? Why didn't I know?"

Mrs. Tai did not expect that Ling Chu would ask about the marriage in front of Grandma Wang. Although she felt it was inappropriate, she was also curious about the matter and hesitated for a moment, but still did not stop her.

“Yes, sister-in-law, when did you decide to marry Chu Jie'er and why did you hide it from us?”

Ms. Dong didn't want to mention the matter more, and just said vaguely, "I didn't mean to hide the marriage. It's not that Sister Chu is not in the house, and I have to be in charge of the middle minister of the house and take care of Brother Hao. I was so busy that I forgot about this matter." The second lady was noncommittal to Dong's explanation. She wanted to ask more, but was stopped by the look in her eyes.

Grandma Wang was surprised. She really didn't expect that the people in the Ling Mansion didn't know that their eldest daughter was engaged.

 But she didn't explain much. Today's Ling Mansion is no longer the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Miss Ling's status is simply not worthy of the eldest son of their family.

If Mrs. Guo Gong hadn't considered that Mrs. Ling had helped her in the past and was worried that breaking off the engagement at this time would be criticized, she would have called off the marriage long ago.

Ling Chu glanced at Mrs. Dong and saw that she didn't want to say anything, so she didn't bother to ask any more questions.

It doesn't matter when the marriage was decided. Anyway, she traveled through time and had no intention of getting married.

"Grandma, mother, I am not doing this for a fool's errand. I have been weak since I was a child, and my master specifically told me to do more good deeds and accumulate virtue. Moreover, the master said that I can only take good care of my body with medicine, and I am not suitable for getting married and having children. , otherwise your life will be in danger.”

　　After a pause, Ling Chu added another dose of strong medicine, "If you force a marriage and give birth to children, the children will also die in infancy."

Lingchu wanted to say that she was not destined to get married, but considering that if the madam and the others didn't believe it and asked someone to calculate her birth date, her lie would be exposed on the spot.

  She is not lying now. The soul of this body has indeed not been adjusted well, and it is not suitable for marriage. Even if an imperial doctor comes to diagnose and treat her, the conclusion will only be the same as what she said.

After hearing Ling Chu's words, Grandma Wang's eyes lit up. Their wife had long wanted to cancel the marriage, but she could never find a suitable reason.

If Miss Ling is not physically able to give birth to an heir, they will propose to break off the engagement. This is no wonder the Duke of Zhao's house.

Mrs. Tai frowned. She originally hoped that Ling Chu would be able to climb up to the Imperial Guard and command Mr. Ning, and then marry into the Duke of Ning's palace, but this matter was still pending after all. And Master Ning is not a kind person. Even if he marries Chu Jie's son in the future, he may not support their Ling family.

　　It is not as safe as this ready-made marriage.

“Sister Chu, don't talk nonsense. Although your master wants you to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, he doesn't necessarily have to set up a stall and tell fortunes.

 Building roads, building bridges, and giving charity can all be good deeds and merits.

Although you are a little weak, it is not a big problem. Let your mother take good care of you in the future, and you will definitely get married healthily. "

　　When she learned that Mr. Dong had arranged the marriage without telling her, Mrs. Tai was really unhappy and felt that Mr. Dong did not care about her as a mother-in-law. But now that the marriage has been arranged, Duke Zhao's Mansion is now a proper in-law of their Ling Mansion.

Mrs. Tai thought about it and decided that it would be a good thing for Sister Chu to marry into the Duke of Zhao's house.

And now she wished that the Duke of Zhao could find a matchmaker to discuss marriage with her.

“Sister Chu, marriage is not something that is trivial. It is decided by the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. You cannot do it randomly.”

 The wife did not agree to break off the engagement, and Mrs. Dong was even more unwilling.

If the marriage is called off, what will happen to her Qing'er?

Thanks to Jiangnan Fuyao for the reward.
