Then Lady Han pulled her daughter and walked away. Watching their back, the few of them shook their heads helplessly. When could she change her hot temper?
âMom, what are you doing? I am holding my little brother. Be slow.â
Being pulled to the backyard all the way by Lady Han, Wang Yunya who was still carrying that meat bun in her arms couldnât help breathing hard. Lady Han turned to throw her a stare and then grabbed her little son from her arms, and then stretched out a hand to poke on her forehead while swearing in a deep voice, âYou silly girl! Even you want to ride over my head now, huh?â
Wang Yunya felt great pains and avoided her hand, and rubbed her forehead. Lady Han looked around, then pulled her over and said carefully, âSilly girl, stop it! Listen to mom. Do you know why I ask you to stay?â
Seeing that her mom was behaving like thief, Wang Yunya asked, âWhy? Didnât you say you want me to stay to serve my grandpa and grandma?â
âAre you nuts?â
Throwing her a hard stare, Lady Han continued in whispers, âSeeing your big aunt is getting so rich, donât you have any thoughts? Yunya, you are fourteen years old, and itâs time to find a husband. Do you want to marry a rough village man and have your feet planted in the soil the whole life? By then, donât blame me for not tipping you. Your second cousin Jinghan is already widely known out there for his scholarship. Before he didnât get listed was all because of his bad health. Today, I have carefully checked it. He has fully recovered, so he will definitely join the examination this winter. If he really becomes a xiucai, those who come to propose may even trample your big auntâs threshold. Yunya, why donât we take this opportunity to get doubly related?â
Lady Han who had always forgot to bring her brain out could even come up with such an idea? So she just pretended to look wooden?
âDoubleâ¦double related? Will that work? But my elder sister Yunyi is still single. Donât say that again. If others know it, how am I supposed to go out to meet people?â
Speaking of which, Wang Yunya already couldnât help blushing. Although she said so, in her head already floated Ling Jinghanâs figure, and her face was so red like blood.
âBah! Yunying Yunying, which of them doesnât just think about Yunying? Even your useless father is partial to someone elseâs daughter! Yunya, donât be stupid! Think about it. Once you marry Jinghan, you could not only live in such a big house, but also have so many servants and maids serving you. After Jinghan gets listed as a xiucai, youâll be the xiucaiâs wife. By then, see who dares look down on us! What the hell is Yunying? Just born a few months earlier than you and she takes up the title as the eldest daughter? After you become a xiucaiâs wife, see if she dares ride over our heads anymore!â
Lady Han wore a face of total vulgarity, with undisguised jealousy on her face. For the whole life, she might not be able to surpass Lady Mu, but her daughter had the chance. Given her daughterâs appearance, if she took the initiative to seduce Jinghan, wouldnât it be as easy as shooting fish in a barrel?
âButâ¦will he agree?â
Before, when her mother scolded her, she wouldnât make any comment. But now, after her mother said so, her heart was touched, and everything in her head now was Ling Jinghanâs figure, nothing else.
âDonât care whether he is willing or not, as long as you are willing, mother has plenty of ways to let him marry you.â
Seeing that her daughter had been moved, Lady Han made persistent efforts, full of calculation under that pair eyes. Having lived for tens of years, hadnât she ever heard a saying ânothing forcibly done is going to be agreeableâ? So brainless!
âIâm⦠oh, Iâm so embarrassedâ¦â
After all, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl, and not that thick-skinned like Ling Xiaoying. She turned her back against her mother, with her hands covering her face. Lady Han had also even experienced this age. How could she not see what her daughter was thinking?
âWhen you get your Mr. Right, you wonât feel ashamed. Silly girl, why should you look ashamed before your mother? Just do as your mother says, and grasp this good chance, and I promise youâll marry into this big house soon.â
Bending his elbow against his daughter, Lady Han whispered by her ear for quite a while.
âI will all listen to you, mom.â
The more she listened, the more ashamed Wang Yunya became. At last, she simply stomped her feet and ran out of the house. Lady Han cursed dead girl in her mouth, but she had a relieved smile on her face.
âBrother, what do they mean? Does that wicked woman want to marry her daughter to second uncle?â
But what they didnât know was that after they left, the two little buns walked out from a corner. They meant to take Chu Yan to see wolf daddy, but later a few more kids followed. In case they might get frightened, under Chu Yanâs suggestion, they played hide-and-seek. And then they accidentally heard their horrible conversation. Apparently they were kind of angry.
âWell, she wants Yunya to be our second aunt-in-law, Xiaowu, donât tell anyone about it. At night, we can tell daddy quietly. Heâll stop it.â
Turning around and pulling his younger brother, Ling Wen cautiously told him that. Although he was young, he also knew the importance of oneâs reputation. Isnât their father a ready-made example? If this thing spread out, their second uncleâs reputation would be ruined.
âWell, letâs tell Dad together this evening. I donât want that wicked womanâs daughter to be our second aunt-in-law. She said bad things about daddy and made fun of us. I donât like her.â
The small bun nodded, little cherry lips pouted high, Ling Wen rubbed his head like Ling Jingxuan did, âNeither do I.â
Then, the two brothers left the backyard hand in hand, as to whether Lady Hanâs trick would succeed, the answer would be revealed soon.
