Bondage

"Third sister?"

Lin Jiayue looked at Jiang Jing who had been dressed up today and smiled slightly. She had been waiting for Jiang Jing for a long time.

"Aunt Lin?"

Jiang Jing was ashamed, not knowing what Lin Jiayue was calling her for.

"Are you planning to go to the theater to greet the ladies?"

"Ah."

Pulling the silver embroidered Baifu skirt on her body, Jiang Jing blushed, very shy.

Today I want to meet the family of my future husband-in-law, so she is dressed up very nicely. The newly made long skirt is paired with the head jewelry sent by Song Wan, making her look beautiful and rich.

Jiang Jing never thought that he would be so beautiful.

"If Aunt Lin is fine, I'll go to greet my sister-in-law first."

Aunt Zhou ordered her to behave well today, and now she was about to see Mrs. Lan. She was worried, and she had no intention of greeting Lin Jiayue.

Jiang Jing was about to leave with his skirt in his hands, but Lin Jiayue said, "Do you know who that Mr. Lan is? Have you ever met him?"

"What nonsense is Aunt Lin talking about? Where... which unmarried lady has seen a foreigner? What do you mean by that?"

Seeing Jiang Jing's small face, Lin Jiayue hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant, I just have a few words to tell you...about the young master of the Lan family."

After dismissing the little maid beside Jiang Jing, Lin Jiayue took her to hide behind the rockery in the Begonia Garden.

She looked at Jiang Jing from bottom to top, feeling more and more unhappy.

Jiang Man and Jiang Xingjian both talked about how good Mr. Nalan was, but she just thought it was ridiculous.A teenage girl who has never met that man is going to marry him and have children. How can this kind of arranged marriage be happy?

Even if she broke up the marriage, she was doing a good deed.

"You haven't even met Mr. Lan, so it's a bit too hasty to talk about marriage with him? You are only fourteen this year, right? As far as I know, Mr. Lan is more than seven or eight years older than you. What do you think?" Will you two be happy?"

"Marriage is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. The family of a decent girl has never seen her husband and son-in-law. What is Aunt Lin trying to say?"

Jiang Jing knew that Aunt Lin and Jiang Xingjian had an affair without a matchmaker, so what does it mean that she came here to say these things to him now?

Jiang Jing turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Lin Jiayue: "I know you don't believe me, but I'm really doing it for your own good."

Lin Jiayue was a little anxious: "I know that everyone is saying that the Lan family's marriage is very good, but you don't think about the so-called good, what exactly do you mean?"

"It's true that the Lan family is rich, but how could a man from such a wealthy family talk about marriage so late, and even tell a young concubine girl like you to go there? You never thought about the so-called goodness. Okay, is it still nice to you?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Jiang Jing squeezed the handkerchief, staring straight at Lin Jiayue with big eyes.

It's because everything Lin Jiayue said touched her heart.

She had never met the young master of the Lan family, so naturally she didn't know what kind of person he was, especially when Aunt Zhou and everyone around her said that the marriage was very good, she was even more disturbed.

How could such a good marriage fall on her?

Jiang Jing lowered his head, and his breathing became a little short.

Seeing this, Lin Jiayue pursed her lips and said, "I'm not going to turn corners with you anymore. Master Hou told me that the reason for this marriage negotiation is because Song Wan's elder brother met Mr. Nalan."

"And the Hou Mansion recommended this marriage because the Lan family is rich and will help the Hou Mansion in the future."

"But I always feel wrong."

Lin Jiayue stroked Jiang Jing's long hair, and said worriedly: "In the past, the Hou Mansion needed a strong marriage partner to make ends meet, but now that the Hou Mansion has it, I no longer need these. You are only 14 years old this year, what about Song Wan?" Can you exchange the youth of a cardamom girl for silver?"

"She was counting on you to support the Hou family, but she never thought that after you married into the Lan family, would it be possible to ask the Lan family for money to subsidize your mother's family?"

Jiang Jing's heart trembled when he heard the words: "This...it's impossible."

As a married woman, how can she ask her husband's family for money to supplement her mother's family?Besides, she is only a concubine, and only her biological mother, Aunt Zhou, is close to her. Why should the Hou family use her to make up for the lack of money?How can a daughter-in-law who reaches out to her husband's family for money everywhere be loved by her husband's family?

Could it be that sister-in-law never thought about her future situation?

Jiang Jing was so panicked that sweat broke out on his face, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Although I haven't met the so-called Mr. Lan, I think there must be a big problem with him not getting married at this age."

Lin Jiayue pulled Jiang Jing, frowned and said, "Since Xing Jian told me that Mr. Lan and Song Wan's elder brother met, I just figured out the key to this matter."

"I'm afraid Song Wan took you as a favor and gave it to the Lan family."

It took her a long time to think about this.

Lin Jiayue had never believed that Song Wan could not see clearly the future situation of the two prefectures, but Jiang Xingjian seemed to be blinded by lard, and kept saying that she would not play tricks on such a major matter.

But why can't this trick be done?

The marriage of the daughter's family couldn't be easier to take advantage of.

All women in this era, no matter how well they marry, can only be swallowed by half-bloods with knocked out teeth.Jiang Jing is also a concubine, with no background or backing, Song Wan can do whatever she wants.

"By marrying you into the Lan family, she will be praised by concubine Jiang, Jiang Xingjian and the old lady, and everyone in the Lan family will accept her brother's love. She killed three birds with one stone, but you are the only one who wronged you. Such a powerful method, who can say that it is not clever?"

Lin Jiayue frowned and said, "I admit that I have selfish intentions. I don't want this marriage to succeed and let her be praised by everyone, but I also really think about you."

"It's clear that this marriage is beneficial to everyone. Going to be the only one who suffers is for you. You should think about it for yourself."

What she said was all sincerity, as for whether Jiang Jing would resist intelligently or obey Song Wan without thinking, it was beyond her control.

After Lin Jiayue finished speaking, she walked out of the rockery.

Lin Jiayue left gracefully, leaving Jiang Jing alone in the rockery, sweating profusely.Even when the servant girl found her, she still looked out of her mind.

Her face was so pale that she almost cried the little maid.

"Miss, what's wrong with you, don't scare Xing'er."

Jiang Jinghong narrowed her eyes, angrily and anxiously relayed Lin Jiayue's words to Xing'er.

"Miss, is what Aunt Lin said true? Mr. Lan really has a problem?"

"I don't know, but what she said is right, how could such a good marriage fall on me?"

She has never been cared about in the Hou Mansion. Since she was a child, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Zhou have been bullied by Aunt Liu. Don't pay attention, as if they don't exist in the house.

How could a concubine like her have a good marriage?

Aunt Zhou's presence in the Hou's Mansion is the reason to restrict her. If she cannot ask for money for the Hou's Mansion, the people in the mansion will definitely use Aunt Zhou to control her.

The more Jiang Jing thought about it, the more frightened he became, he grabbed Xing'er's hand and said, "I can't just sit and wait for death, if it's true what Aunt Lin said, the future life between me and Aunt Zhou may be worse than before."
