Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

Lin Wanyan looked at Lin Fu with a smile, "Why? Sister, you don't have confidence that your brother-in-law will pass the high school entrance exam?"

"Nonsense!" Lin Fu exploded instantly, "My husband is extremely talented, he will definitely be the top scorer this time! Don't rush to curry favor with him when the time comes."

Lin Wan smiled and said nothing. What a joke! As the young lady of the Yongning Marquis's Mansion, why would she need to curry favor with him? Besides, she also wanted to see what kind of results Shen Qinghe could achieve without her help.

Wang had finished talking about the important things, and there was nothing more to say. She left Lin Wan aside and only talked to Lin Fu.

Lin Wan calmly took two sips of the tea in her hand, then stood up and went back.

Before leaving, Wang also reminded Lin Heng and Meng Yucheng about going to the farm, and asked her to make sure it was arranged! Don't neglect the son of Nanlingbo's family.

Lin Wan smiled and agreed.

Of course she would not neglect him, and might even give him a big gift!

After leaving the Lin Mansion and sitting in the carriage on the way back, Lin Wan began to think about how to arrange things next.

As soon as Wang asked her to find a manor for Lin Heng to entertain Meng Yucheng, she thought of Ye Shiyue who was still imprisoned in the manor.

Although the Xiao family has sent the person to the manor, Lu Tingxu still can't forget about her.

And there was also the six-month agreement. Although she was sure that Ye Shiyue was a person who was greedy for fame and fortune, she had been locked up all the time, so she had no chance to do anything she wanted.

Then I will give him a chance now. When Meng Yucheng went to the farm, Ye Shiyue had been suffering but still couldn't wait for Lu Tingxu.

At this time, a young man from an aristocratic family came who had a similar status and position to Lu Tingxu, and who understood girls' thoughts better than him and was more gentle and affectionate.

At that time, it depends on what choice Ye Shiyue makes.

Should she continue to wait firmly for Lu Tingxu to save her, or choose another better option?

Lin Wan opened her eyes, looked at the swaying car curtain, and thought: If Ye Shiyue can really persist in waiting for Lu Tingxu, then I will take her back after half a year is up.

It's just that there are more people in the yard.

In half a year, she was able to firmly grasp the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion and persuade him, so it didn't matter if there were a few more people in Lu Tingxu's backyard.

At this time, the carriage suddenly stopped.

There was no unexpected collision, and Lin Wan sat very steadily, holding onto the wall of the carriage without moving at all.

Qinglian, who was standing next to him, bumped into Qingmei and his head hit each other, causing him to cry out.

"What's wrong?" Qinglian sat up straight and asked while rubbing his forehead.

"Young Madam, there is a pair of little siblings in front who are selling themselves to bury their mother." The driver answered from the front.

Lin Wan lifted the car curtain and looked out, only to see a group of people gathered on the roadside ahead. Among the crowd was a boy who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, and a little girl who was about eight or nine years old.

Both of them were wearing ragged clothes, their faces were purple from the cold. The boy was kneeling upright, while the little girl was lying on the mat beside the woman who was already dead, crying loudly.

Lin Wan took a look and found that, among the two people, only the boy had a straw stick on his head, but the girl did not.

This means that only boys are sold, and girls are not sold.

In today's world, human power is limited. Especially for ordinary people, once they encounter some natural disasters or man-made disasters, they can only sell their children.

But once sold into slavery, few were able to redeem themselves.

Because the slaves were at the bottom of the social hierarchy, even if someone saved enough money to redeem themselves, they would still be pointed at behind their backs.

So generally, in families with both sons and daughters, the first ones to be sold are girls.

But these two siblings are just the opposite.

Lin Wan sighed and said to Qing Lian beside her: "How much silver did we take with us when we went out today?"

Qinglian took out a bag of silver from the box she carried with her, "Madam, here are fifty taels of silver. I also have the spare hundred taels of silver note you gave me before."

"Give it to him, let him bury his mother, take his sister home and live a good life."

"Yes."

Qinglian lifted the curtain and got out of the car.

Lin Wan watched her walk up to the boy, hand him the silver, and say a few words. The boy didn't know what he said, and Qinglian looked back at the carriage.

The little boy gave his sister some instructions and followed Qinglian over.

When the crowd saw that some people had spent money, they thought there was nothing exciting to watch and dispersed.

Qinglian came to the side of the carriage and said through the window: "Young Madam, this man insisted on coming to kowtow to you."

Lin Wan opened the car window and looked at the boy who was obviously skinny and dishevelled but had bright eyes. She said, "I'm not going to buy you. I just see that you are young. Take the money and go home to bury your mother and take good care of yourself and your sister."

The little boy knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times earnestly, "Thank you, benefactor. My sister and I have no family left. Our parents are gone and we have nowhere to go. Since you are selling yourself to bury our mother, I can't take your money for nothing. I am willing to follow you and be your servant."

As he said this, he turned around and looked at his sister. The little girl was still lying on her mother, but she was staring at him blankly.

"I only ask Madam to let me take my sister with me. She is still young, so I can eat less and work more. I just ask that you give her a bowl of rice."

Lin Wan looked at him and thought of Lin Heng, who was the same age as him. Lin Heng was still only interested in eating, drinking and having fun, and asking for this and that in front of his parents. But he had become the breadwinner of the family at a young age, and had to raise a younger sister.

"Why do you only sell yourself? Your sister is a girl, so it should be easier for someone to accept her."

"It's because my sister is a girl. Once she sells herself into slavery, she will never live a good life again. But I'm a boy. Even if I sell myself, I can only be a servant. I can still make money to support her."

Lin Wan was impressed again as she saw how thoughtful he was despite his young age.

When she was little, she always felt pitiful and unloved. She had parents, but they only had eyes for her sister Lin Fu and brother Lin Heng.

But she never thought that there were many people in this world who lived a much more miserable life than she did. At least she had enough food and clothing, and could learn poetry and women's work. But some people really couldn't even afford to eat.

"Forget about selling yourself. Since you have nowhere else to go, I have a shop over at Tianyu Academy called Moxiangzhai. After you bury your mother, take your sister there to find Shopkeeper Chen and stay there to work."

"Yes, thank you ma'am!"

Lin Wan looked at him with a clear face, neither arrogant nor humble. She looked at him with a higher opinion, and then looked at the little girl in the distance, and saw that she didn't know what happened yet, and was still staring at the carriage.

He sighed slightly, "You have to work hard in the future. Manager Chen is a capable man. You should learn from him and you and your brother will be fine in the future!"

After saying that, he lowered the curtain and went back.
