Chapter 81.3: 來客
[Guests]
Chen Ling Er’s eyes widened, she completely did not expect that she would actually hear such words from her mother, she thought that because her parents dote on her, she would not be like other young ladies who would go for a marriage in times of need. Her lips trembled as she looked at her mother and questioned, “Mother, don’t you guys consider and think about my future?”
Madam Chen listened to her daughter questioning her own words, her heart gradually surfaced a few points of discomfort, they have already considered so thoroughly for her, yet she is still here to blame them for not considering her future, therefore she opened her mouth with coldened’s tone of voice,
“Ling’er, that Zhao family is now the number one aristocratic family in this county. Whose family doesn’t give his family a little bit of face? If you marry into their family, they naturally won’t treat you badly. If you don’t marry, there will be other noblewomen who want to. It’s just that being born into a family like ours, you should understand the importance of marrying and choosing a husband, and that it’s not something you can just do as you please. If you insist on not marrying, when the time comes, you will not be able to pass your father’s test. It is also hard to say what kind of man you will be able to marry next time.”
Hearing this, Chen Ling Er looked at her mother’s expressionless face, and gradually figured out that compared to the prosperity of their Chen family, what this daughter of hers thinks is completely unimportant, the important thing is that her marriage can bring benefits to the Chen family. She bit her lower lip, staring at her mother for half of a day and did not say anything.
Mrs.Chen looked at her stubborn daughter, looked at her pretty face, her heart still softened for a few points, she gently stroked Chen Ling’er’s face and softly said: “Ling’er, I’m your biological mother, I will not harm you. Marrying for life is not based on looks, as long as he can treat you well in the future, and can let you live comfortably in the Zhao family, isn’t that enough?”
Chen Ling Er pursed her lips and did not say anything.
Madam Chen saw that Chen Ling’er this appearance, also no longer continues to say, only to urge her to think carefully and then left straightaway.
When Madam Chen left, Chen Ling Er sat on a stone bench, lowered her head and did not know what to think. After she thought for a while, she seemed to suddenly think of something. All of a sudden from the stone bench she stood up, then turned towards the direction of the Chen Old Master’s study room and ran over there.
Chen Ling Er felt that they could not be so resigned to fate, she had to go to ask that father who always overly praises and loves her daily, whether there is another way to help the Chen family?
The maid, who followed Chen Ling Er’s side, after she saw the young lady lifted her skirt and ran, she immediately caught up, while chasing she also shouted: “Miss, young Miss, what are you going to do ah!? Where are you going ah? Young lady, you wait for me ah!”
Chen Ling Er ran to her father’s favorite place, stayed in the courtyard, looking at the study room in the distance, and just now her angry and indignant expression turned into hesitation. She just used a breath to run here yet she really wants to go in immediately, she also did not know what she should say anymore.
Just when Chen Ling Er stood in place hesitating to go in, the little maid who chased her over had caught up with her, looking at her and helplessly said: “Miss, why are you running so fast? I can’t catch up with you.”
The little maid’s voice, let the hesitant Chen Ling Er come back to her senses, she turned her head to look at the little maid gasping for breath behind her, her eyes went cold, “You wait for me here. I’ll go look for my father.”
“Young miss, why are you looking for the Old Master?” When the little maid heard her young lady’s command, the expression on her face was completely confused, and she didn’t seem to understand it very well.
However, Chen Ling Er was impatient to explain, looking at her with a grumpy face, threateningly saying, “Are you the young lady, or am I the young lady? You wait here then you just wait here. Besides that, shut your mouth obediently for me. if you dare to ruin my business, I will definitely cut off your tongue.”
When the little maid heard her words, her eyes immediately widened, and then she covered her mouth, using her actions to show or express that she would not make a sound.
Chen Ling Er looked at her frightened look, thoroughly satisfied, straightened out the skirt on her body, sorted out again how she should speak, and slowly went towards the study room door.
The moment Chen Ling Er advanced all the way, she did not meet any guards or subordinates. This matter is somehow strange, but she did not take it seriously, only when it came to the time for their turn, those lazy guys got by without attending duty.
