Lingchu knew that neither Mrs. Tai nor Mrs. Dong liked her because of her bad fate.
The reason why he doesn't agree with her to break off the engagement now is simply that he sees the decline of the Ling family and wants to use her to marry the Zhao family. After she marries Mr. Zhao, she can support the Ling family with the Zhao family.
Good abacus calculation.
But how could Ling Chu let them take advantage of him?
"Grandma, mother, I know you are doing it for my own good, but now that my grandfather and father have lost their official status, how can the family get money to build bridges, build roads, and give porridge to charity?
Since the master taught me the hexagram technique, it was just for me to use it to help people in need. I forgive Lingchu for not disobeying the master's orders.
Marriage is for the sake of marrying two surnames. Now that our Ling family and Zhao Guogong's family are not in the same family, and my health is not good, this marriage is no longer suitable.
It is better to call off the marriage so as not to delay Mr. Zhao. It wouldn't be nice if the two families couldn't get married but instead became enemies. "
"Cough cough cough..." Ling Chu finished these words with a pale face, then suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently.
Her cough was earth-shattering and heartbreaking, as if she wanted to cough out her heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys.
Moreover, his weak body was still trembling, as if he would faint at any time.
After being ill for so many years, Ling Chu didn't need to disguise himself at all, he easily knew how to make himself look flawless.
Originally, Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Dong were so angry that they wanted to get angry after hearing what she said.
But now that she was coughing so badly, she could only hold back the fire.
When she heard that Ling Chu was going to break off the engagement, although Grandma Wang was pleasantly surprised, she was inevitably suspicious.
The Ling Mansion has now fallen into decline. According to their wife, all the former in-laws of the Ling family have cut off contact with the Ling Mansion for fear of being implicated.
Now Zhao Guogong's Mansion is already the highest branch that Ling Mansion can reach.
Not to mention that their son, the Zhao family, is a famous talent in Kyoto. With such a good family relationship, is Miss Ling really willing to give up?
Is she trying to get Joe?
Although she was suspicious, Grandma Wang couldn't hide the joy in her eyes when she saw Ling Chu coughing so badly.
It seems that Miss Ling is not lying, her body is really in very bad condition.
Regardless of whether she was looking for Qiao or not, if Madam knew that Miss Ling was in such poor health, she would definitely not be willing to hire her back.
Grandma Wang no longer wanted to stay any longer. She had to go back quickly and tell Madam about this.
This can be considered a meritorious service, and the lady will definitely reward her.
"Since the eldest girl is not feeling well, she should take good care of herself. She must never go out to show herself in public in the future. It is better to stay in the house and learn the rules and etiquette."
Grandma Wang suppressed the joy in her heart, and after saying a few casual remarks, she couldn't wait to say goodbye.
Mrs. Tai and Mr. Dong were afraid that Grandma Wang would go back and tell Mrs. Zhao Guogong about Ling Chu's poor health, so they tried their best to persuade Mrs. Zhao to stay. But Grandma Wang ignored it and insisted on leaving.
Seeing Aunt Wang leaving the main hall, Ling Chu raised the corners of her mouth and slowly stopped coughing.
The faces of Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Dong were as dark as ink.
Ling Chu glanced at it casually, but didn't take it to heart.
I coughed so hard just now that my throat felt a little uncomfortable.
He reached out to pick up the teacup and drank several sips, and then he felt relieved.
Mrs. Dong was so angry that her heart ached when she saw her acting like a normal person.
He glared at Ling Chu with a look of ice in his eyes, "Why did you say those words just now? Do you know you were wrong?"
Ling Chu gently put down the tea cup, raised his eyes and looked directly at the past, and asked coldly, "Everything I said is the truth, what's wrong with it?"
"you……"
Mrs. Dong didn't expect that she would dare to take the blame, and her chest heaved violently with anger.
"Since you were a child, because of your bad fate and poor health, I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to get married, so I worked hard to get this marriage for you.
But instead of cherishing it, you actually want to ruin the marriage. How could I have given birth to such an unfilial daughter like you! "
"I have said before that my body is not suitable for marriage. If I have children, I will only end up with two lives.
Just like this, you still insist on me marrying Mr. Zhao? "
"You're talking about killing two people with one body. That master of yours is just scaremongering. Haven't you been doing well since you returned to Beijing? I went out every once in a while and nothing happened to you."
The second lady curled her lips and said, "Sister Chu, your mother is right. You are active and active every day, and your health is better than that of our elders. You are not as serious as you said."
Even Aunt Wen said, "Sister, your master may be afraid that you are young and don't take your own body seriously, so he took it seriously.
As long as you take care of yourself for a period of time, it won't affect your marriage. "
Aunt Wen didn't want to get involved in this matter, but she was worried that if Ling Chu really didn't marry, all the things she hoped for would be ruined.
Ling Chu sneered, "You don't agree with me breaking off the engagement, but you just want to wait for me to marry Mr. Zhao so that the Duke of Zhao can support everyone.
Do you think that if you force me to do something I don’t want to do, I will still comply with your wishes?
It’s okay to not cancel the marriage. I’m not the only girl in this house. Since you are so optimistic about this marriage, whoever wants to marry can marry. "
As soon as Ling Chu finished speaking, Dong was startled. Although she didn't say anything, she breathed a sigh of relief. This damn girl doesn't want to get married, that's just fine. When she changes her marriage to Qing'er in the future, don't blame her for being partial.
The Second Madam, the Third Madam and Aunt Wen didn't expect that Ling Chu really didn't want to get married. After being surprised for a while, their thoughts immediately changed.
Ling Chu glanced at it and could guess without even thinking that they all wanted to fight for the piece of cake in Duke Zhao's mansion for their daughter.
Ling Chu didn't care who married into the Zhao family, as long as it wasn't her.
Ling Chu didn't want to get married, but the wife didn't agree. She sternly said to her with a dark face, "Follow me!"
The madam dropped these words and turned around and left the main hall.
Ling Chu frowned, hesitated, put down the tea cup in his hand, and followed.
It was originally thought that Mrs. Tai called her out alone to persuade her to marry into the Duke of Zhao's house.
Unexpectedly, she was brought to the ancestral hall.
Ling Chu was surprised when the madam reached out and pushed open the two ajar doors.
There is a large altar table in the room, and the table is densely covered with spiritual tablets of the ancestors of the Ling family.
The madam walked in silently, took three incense sticks, lit them, bowed, and inserted them into the incense burner.
He turned to Ling Chu and said coldly, "Why don't you come in and offer a stick of incense to your ancestors!"
As a member of the Ling family, it is considered appropriate to offer incense to our ancestors. Ling Chu didn't say a word, stepped forward, picked up three incense sticks, lit them, bowed, and then inserted them into the incense burner.
But just as his hand left the incense burner, Ling Chu was suddenly stunned.
The three incense sticks she had just inserted into the incense burner were all extinguished.
And all three incense sticks were broken at once.
Ling Chu was stunned.
What kind of fragrance did you buy? The quality is so bad.
Ling Chu complained while pulling out the half of the incense that was still inserted in the incense burner, preparing to put another stick in it.
But when she went to get the incense again, she frowned.

If possible, I will consider adding an update? ()-——
