Destiny in this life: Sisterly love is deep and dreams are sweet

"The next step is for my father to get married. This should be the most important thing in the family. I also heard from my eldest aunt that after my eldest brother finishes his science examination next year, he will discuss marriage for his eldest brother. Just these two things will keep my eldest aunt busy. That’s right, after the spring of next year, we will enter the palace for the draft.” Lu Yanhua said.

"There is still more than a year, but this year has passed in the blink of an eye."

"Who says it's not? Where has the time gone? I haven't really felt young yet... This word is not appropriate to sing now, after all, we are still very young."

These words directly made Lu Wanxi laugh, "You are only 15 years old, so you are not particularly young."

"I really want to meet that Miss He right now. I don't know what she looks like or what she is like."

"Grandma nodded in agreement, I guess it won't be too bad."

"That's right, as long as it's not Aunt Liu's kind."

Three days later, Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Ning Guogong, and Lu Hongye went to He's house together. Mrs. Ning Guogong had already been here beforehand. Miss He's parents had passed away, and now it was her brother and sister-in-law who were in charge of the He family.

When they arrived at the main hall of the He family, Miss He's brothers and sisters-in-law, He Wei and Mrs. Yang, were entertaining them warmly. After all, their sister was able to climb up to the Marquis of Xiangyang Mansion. Although she was just a second wife, this marriage was not harmful to the He family.

"Old lady, you are so polite. There is no need for you to come to the door in person." He Wei had a flattering and flattering expression on his face.

Yang on the side never closed her mouth. "Yes! That's very kind of you."

"The girl from the He family condescended to marry my son. As a mother, I naturally have to go to the door and hire her in person."

"What did the old lady say? This is my Yuwei's blessing."

When the servants of the He family learned that Mrs. Fan Yang Lu had come to visit, they quickly ran to He Yuwei's yard and said, "Girl, girl."

Indoors, He Yuwei was sitting on the bed, embroidering a wedding dress for herself. Hearing the voice of the female servant Zi Su, He Yuwei put down the needle and thread in her hands, as well as the unfinished wedding dress.

He Yuwei is wearing a high-waisted undershirt, her skin is like cream, her eyebrows are curved, and her eyes are like water. There was a hint of sadness on her face, with three thousand black hair hanging down to her waist, her hair was pulled up into a bun, and she wore a few jasper hairpins. It is really pitiful that such a cold beauty with graceful figure and orchid temperament has not married yet.

"Girl, the Marquis of Xiangyang is here."

"I understand." He Yuwei recognized her destiny. At her age, she was not yet married, and being able to reach the rank of Marquis of Xiangyang was already a blessing from God. She should not expect anything else.

"The girl really wants to marry the Marquis of Xiangyang? The Marquis of Xiangyang is in his thirties, and he also has four children. If the girl gets married, she will be a stepmother for the four children."

He Yuwei had no choice. If she delayed getting married, it would harm her other unmarried sisters in the He family. She must not be so selfish. "Your girl and I are over [-] years old. If I miss the Marquis of Xiangyang, who else can marry your girl?"

"But the girl was obviously keeping her filial piety for the old lady, so she delayed the marriage. Mr. Xiao is really not a good person. He promised to wait for the girl, but he broke his promise and married someone else."

He Yuwei had a childhood sweetheart. They were about the same age, and both parents agreed with the marriage, but everything happened too suddenly. He also waited for He Yuwei, but in the end he couldn't persist.

He Yuwei didn't blame him. Everyone had moments when they couldn't help themselves. She and he were destined to be together, and they would never be a couple in this life.

"Stop talking, I don't blame him. This is my fate. This is what my fate is, so what can I do? If I marry the Marquis of Xiangyang, I will be the Marquis of Xiangyang's wife, and I may be able to get a royal title as his wife in the future. This marriage , in the final analysis, I am the one who has climbed higher.”

"The girl must not say that. The girl is the best girl in the world. The girl should have the best marriage in the world."

"Marriage is destined by fate, so I won't be obsessed with it or have any delusions."

"Girl~" Zisu looked distressed.

After Mrs. Lu and the others left, He Yuwei was called to the main hall by his brother and sister-in-law. He Yuwei stood in front of the two of them. He Wei also felt sorry for his sister, but now he had no better choice except the Marquis of Xiangyang.

"Yuwei! I have discussed it with your sister-in-law, and we should be the Marquis of Xiangyang! I don't need to explain the reputation of the Fanyang Lu family to you in detail. If you marry me, you will be the Marquis of Xiangyang, and our He family will also benefit from you. Big brother knows that I have wronged you, but there is no more suitable candidate than the Marquis of Xiangyang."

Yang on the side yelled angrily: "What is there to feel wronged about? She has reached a high level. She is the Marquis of Xiangyang, her elder brother is Ning Guogong, and the Fan Yang Lu family has been a famous family for hundreds of years. Do you still feel aggrieved? The two legitimate daughters of their family will be drafted into the palace in the future, and Ning Guogong's legitimate daughter is very likely to become the crown princess. Are you not happy with such a good marriage? Then what kind of marriage do you want? What kind of marriage do you want now? You are already an old girl, why are you still picky?"

He Wei scolded sternly: "Shut up, do you have the right to speak?"

Yang was so angry at her husband that she didn't dare to say anything more.

Although He Wei, the older brother, couldn't bear the thought of his sister being a re-arrangement, in this situation, he really had no better choice. "Yuwei, don't worry, my eldest brother will definitely prepare a lot of dowry for you and will never let you be looked down upon in the Marquis Mansion."

When Yang heard about the dowry, she didn't want to spend more money. She was about to say something, but was stopped by He Wei's look.

He Yuwei knew that this was the best future that her brother had fought for for herself. In the past few years, her eldest brother had been quarreling with her sister-in-law a lot about her marriage. She should not continue to be selfish.

"Brother, don't worry, I will marry you well and be the Marquis of Xiangyang's wife."

He Wei held her hands tightly, "Brother will never let you suffer any grievances. The Marquis of Xiangyang is a good man. His first wife passed away many years ago and he has not renewed their relationship. This friendship is not easy. Mrs. Lu came to visit in person and gave her enough With the respect of our He family, and Mrs. Ning Guo, you naturally know her reputation in Yujing City."

"My eldest brother also sent someone to inquire. Although the Marquis of Xiangyang has several concubines, there is no man who doesn't take concubines. This marriage is the best that my eldest brother has secured for you."

"What the elder brother said is that Yuwei will cherish this hard-won marriage."

"it is good!"

On the way back, Mrs. Lu and Lu Hongye rode in a carriage. Lu Hongye always had a sad face, as if someone owed him money.

Old Mrs. Lu said angrily: "I have wronged you. If Miss He is willing to marry you, then you are lucky. You are still here crying with a mournful face."

"It's not that I want to marry her. Besides, if I don't marry her, who among the famous families in Yujing City will marry her?"

"Shut up. Miss He was delaying her marriage because she was honoring her filial piety to her parents. After honoring her filial piety for her father, her mother died of illness and she continued to honor her filial piety. Only then did she become an old girl. Otherwise, how could Miss He With your talents and family background, why worry about finding a good husband. I warn you, if Miss He comes in and you treat her badly, I will never let you go."

"As long as I am here, you will never step into Lan Yue Pavilion again, and you will never see that bitch again. If you are still stubborn, I will ask your elder brother to sell her immediately, believe it or not!"

Lu Hongye naturally believed it, and he was not ignorant of his mother's methods. When his father was alive, none of the concubines in the mansion gave birth to his father's children. In the Ningguo Duke's mansion, there were only him, his eldest brother, and two married sisters, and no concubine had any children.

"The son knows his mistakes and obeys his mother's wishes in everything."

Mrs. Lu looked at his cowardly look and couldn't help but feel angry. "I don't understand. Why do you insist on that bitch? What's wrong with Mr. Cui? You don't like the pretty lady, but you like that foxy one?"

"Ms. Cui is very good. She is good at everything. She has followed the rules and been careful all her life, just like mother and sister-in-law. But aren't you tired of living like this?" Lu Hongye is free and easy by nature and doesn't like women who follow the rules. The kind of Liu who doesn't abide by the rules, On the contrary, he admired women who were free-spirited.

"Tired? Who is not tired? Your eldest brother supports Ning Guo Duke's palace and wants to continue the glory of our Fanyang Lu family. Isn't he tired? Your sister-in-law and I carefully teach Wanxi Yanhua, and Heng Feng and the others, for What is it? It’s not for the entire Fan Yang Lu family. Do you think you are the only one who is tired?”

"You are in your 30s, and you are still the same as when you were a child. You can do whatever you want. Now that you are the Marquis of Xiangyang, you should do something for your children and the Fan Yanglu family, instead of doing whatever you want based on Fan Yanglu's origin. . In this world, everyone from ordinary people to Your Majesty and Queen all have their own helplessness, they all have no control over themselves, and it is impossible for them to live their lives as they wish."

"You have lived for more than 30 years. If you don't understand this truth, then your life has been in vain and you are not worthy to be a descendant of Fan Yanglu's family."

Lu Hongye has been following his own temper for more than 30 years, but now he should no longer do whatever he wants.

"Ms. Cui left early, and Yan Hua and Hengsong were still young. I was afraid that your renewal would break their hearts. This has been delayed until now, but I didn't expect that you would indulge Ms. Liu and Yanru. Don't think that I don't know about my identity. I regret that even if Yan Hua Hengsong couldn't accept it for a while, I should have renewed my string for you, so I wouldn't have come to this point."

"Think about it for yourself and use your brain. What has Mrs. Liu done over the years that she has been in charge? Your elder brother and sister-in-law have hidden so many things from you and cleaned up so many messes. The Hou Mansion's account books are in a mess and they cannot make ends meet. It’s not just one day or two. These days, your sister-in-law helped you take care of the books. Only then did I know how much money Ms. Liu had embezzled to support her relatives. It was a bottomless pit. If the losses were not stopped in time, the Hou Mansion could still survive. To maintain it to this day? How much salary do you have for her to squander?"

Lu Hongye was completely speechless now. He knew these things very well in his heart. Mrs. Liu did not know how to manage the house, but he was soft-hearted after all. Every time Mrs. Liu cried, he had nothing to do.

"Son! Listen to your mother, marry Miss He, live a good life with her, and stop thinking about the Liu family. Do you have to watch our Fanyang Lu family be destroyed in her hands before you are willing to admit that you are wrong? ?By then it was too late, there was no way to turn back.”

"The son promised his mother that he would never see her again."

Mrs. Lu finally heard what he said, and she finally waited for this day.

Ningxiangyuan

Poria came in with tea and said, "Two girls, the old lady and the Marquis are back."

"It seems everything went well." Lu Yanhua came over, picked up a piece of water chestnut cake and took a bite.

"It should go well, but girl, Miss He is not much older than you. When Miss He gets married, you have to call her mother."

Lu Yanhua doesn't care about this anymore. He still has a lot of things to do, so he doesn't have time to care about others. Just call! A piece of meat is indispensable. Anyway, there is only one mother in her heart. It's just a name on the lips, but I don't think so in my heart.

"Just scream! It's etiquette. If I don't scream, others will say I don't understand the rules. Isn't this causing trouble for myself? It's just a matter of words. Why do you have to find it so unpleasant?"

Fu Ling nodded and agreed very much, "That's right. The girl won't be able to stay at home for a few years anyway. After she gets married, she won't be able to go back to her parents' house often, and she won't be able to call her a few times."

"You girl."

I went to Xiapin today and set the wedding date. There are still two months until the wedding, so there is enough time to prepare for the wedding.

This matter was reported to Lanyue Pavilion. When Liu's mother and daughter were eating, they heard the female servants outside discussing the matter.

"The Marquis is getting married, and our Marquis' Mansion is about to welcome a real mistress."

"Which girl is it?"

"The He family is the girl He who kept her filial piety to her parents and kept dragging her into an old girl. It was the old lady who came to propose marriage in person. The old lady valued Miss He very much."

When Mrs. Liu and Lu Yanru heard these words, the bowls and chopsticks in their hands were about to be crushed. Lu Yanru was so angry that she threw the bowls and chopsticks to the ground.

"This is impossible, how is this possible? Didn't you say that my father would not marry anyone else? Didn't you say that my father only has you in his heart? Then tell me what is going on now!"

Aunt Liu was already stunned on the spot, with a look of disbelief on her face. He promised himself that even if he couldn't straighten himself out, he would never renew his relationship or marry anyone else. These vows are still vivid in my mind, as if they were yesterday, but why did he break his promises? Why?

Lu Yanhua ran up to her, grabbed her arm like crazy, and asked, "Speak! How could my father marry someone else? Didn't you say that if you could let your father straighten you out, I would become your legitimate daughter? Why now?" Why?"

Aunt Liu was in tears at this moment. She didn't know how to answer her. He promised himself that he would not marry anyone else.

Lu Yanru didn't say a word when she saw her, she rushed out the door and cursed the maid at the door. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could my father marry someone else? This is impossible, this is impossible."

The female servant and the mother-in-law looked down upon them, mother and daughter, since they were all cowards.

The lady next to her mocked directly: "Oh! Third girl, don't even think about it, who is the Marquis and who is Aunt Liu? A lowly maid still wants to be the Marchioness. This is really the biggest joke in the world."
