Chapter 36 Si Niannian is only fit to be her servant!

Zheng Yunliang first generously presented a large gift, and then immediately showed his thoughtfulness.

He took the cloak from Ling Shuang and considerately draped it over Song Qinghan's shoulders: "Han'er, you are weak, remember to stay behind me and avoid the wind."

Song Qinghan lowered her head and softly hummed in agreement: "Okay, thank you, Brother Yunliang."

"Why should we thank each other?" Zheng Yunliang chuckled. "It's only right that I do anything for you."

"The only person I've ever chosen is you, and no one else can replace you!"

He always knew that Song Qinghan was not Song's biological daughter.

He doesn't care about that.

He wouldn't have made this special trip if he hadn't known that someone was using this as an excuse to cause trouble.

Si Niannian actually thinks she can marry him just because she is the legitimate daughter of the Song family?

dream!

He came today to give a warning to certain restless people!

Upon hearing this, Song Qinghan's eyes welled up with tears.

Si Niannian looked completely bewildered.

What's wrong with this person?

When did she say she liked him?

Zheng Yunliang gave Si Niannian a threatening look and took the lead in walking towards the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

He was extremely familiar with the Song family, and when he arrived at the Lakeside Pavilion, he acted like the host, taking the place of the main guest.

His cousin, whom he mentioned, was still waiting outside the pavilion.

This person worked hard all day but didn't even get a sip of hot water.

Even with his limp, Song Mo was still restless. After sitting down and drinking only a few sips, he started clamoring to go fishing in the lake.

Zheng Yunliang was happy to accompany him, and Song Wen had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.

Song Qinghan, pulling her cloak tighter, smiled and said, "The wind is strong on the lake, and my sister isn't fully recovered yet, so I'll stay here with her."

Song Mo and Song Wen both showed wary expressions, and Si Niannian very tactfully took several steps back.

Falling into the same pit once is disgusting enough.

She couldn't let Song Qinghan use the same tricks on her a second time.

Song Mo was still uneasy and warned through gritted teeth, "You'd better behave yourself!"

If Si Niannian dares to lay a hand on Song Qinghan again, he will show no mercy this time!

Si Niannian glanced at his legs with a complicated expression, and said earnestly, "Then you absolutely mustn't blink."

She's more afraid than anyone else!

Before Song Mo could say anything more, he heard Zheng Yunliang calling him and immediately skipped over.

The people waiting to go fishing on the small boat were talking about something, and their laughter carried far.

Zheng Yunliang's cousin, however, rolled up his trousers high and stood in the icy lake water, pushing the boat with his bare hands.

As the small boat drifted away, the pavilion in the middle of the lake quickly fell silent.

Si Niannian sat far away at the other end, afraid of being touched by anyone.

Seeing this, Song Qinghan couldn't help but laugh: "Are you afraid of me, sister?"

“I’m not afraid of people,” Si Niannian glanced at her indifferently, “but I’m afraid of dogs.”

“Sister, you don’t need to be so wary of me,” Song Qinghan said cryptically. “After all, you’re the star of the day, how could I bear to ruin your good time?”

Si Niannian raised an eyebrow leisurely.

A cold smile crept across Song Qinghan's lips: "Sister is not young anymore, it's time for her to get married."

"Your mother has carefully chosen a good marriage for you, and even specially arranged this gathering for you to see. Sister, are you satisfied with what you see?"

Zheng Kai is indeed Zheng Yunliang's distant cousin.

Unfortunately, this relative is located three thousand miles away, a poor relative with whom I have absolutely no connection.

They were said to be relatives who had passed the imperial examination and come to seek refuge, but in reality, they were just servants in the Zheng family who could be summoned and dismissed at will.

But Madam Song felt that he and Si Niannian were a perfect match.

Zheng Kai had the title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), so it wasn't too bad for him.

But he could only ever reach the level of a scholar, and he would never give Si Niannian the chance to benefit from his position and cause trouble.

Si Niannian is ugly, and it's almost hopeless for her to find a husband for the Song family through marriage. It's understandable that she would marry a scholar.

The Song and Zheng families were already arranged to marry, and Song Qinghan was the future matriarch of the Zheng family.

Marrying Si Niannian to someone related to the Zheng family is tantamount to putting Si Niannian's fate in Song Qinghan's hands.

Only by firmly controlling Si Niannian's mouth and ensuring she can never escape the control of her maternal family can Madam Song feel at ease.

The Song couple had reached a consensus: rather than keeping Si Niannian in the Song family, it would be better to send her away as soon as possible.

Anyway, after Si Niannian got married, everything was controlled by her husband's family. As long as Si Niannian's husband was controlled, she would have to act according to their wishes for the rest of her life.

Once married, one must obey one's husband; Si Niannian cannot escape this fate.

This would allow the Song family to act even more recklessly, without having to worry about what outsiders say.

After all, once a daughter is married, she is no longer a member of the Song family, and Si Niannian's life or death is completely irrelevant to them.

Song Qinghan was also very satisfied: "Although Zheng Kai's family is poor, my sister is used to hard times and it won't be difficult for her to adapt."

"And once the marriage is settled, my sister will be the lady of the house, in charge of all the chickens, ducks, cattle, and horses. Life will definitely be prosperous. And if things don't work out..."

Song Qinghan said quietly, "Then you can always come back with Zheng Kai."

“I have influence in the Zheng family anyway, so I can find another way for my sister to make a living.”

The fog in Si Niannian's mind finally cleared up, and she couldn't help but laugh as she listened.

So these people deliberately humiliated Zheng Kai in front of her, just to tell her that if you marry a chicken, you should follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you should follow the dog. If you marry a servant, you should be treated like a pig or a dog.

Will her future be like this?

Is she only fit to be Song Qinghan's servant?

Si Niannian squinted at Zheng Kai, who was still soaking in the water, and instead of answering Song Qinghan's question directly, she said, "Are you all so sure that Song Mo's matter can be accomplished?"

The matter hasn't been settled yet, why are you so confident?

“Of course,” Song Qinghan said confidently. “Old Master Zheng and the headmaster of Qingyang Academy are close friends, so he won’t refuse to help.”

She hadn't spoken to Zheng Yunliang before, all for this day.

When Si Niannian failed to accomplish her task, and when the Song couple were completely disappointed in her.

Her stepping forward at this moment best demonstrates her value.

Song Qinghan couldn't help but laugh when she thought about how Si Niannian would soon marry Zheng Kai and be trampled underfoot by her for the rest of her life: "Sister, you and I have always been worlds apart."

"It is so in the eyes of parents, and it is also so in the eyes of the world!"

Si Niannian is not worthy to compete with her!

Si Niannian's eyes crinkled with a playful smile: "Alright, let's keep watching while we're still observing."

If Jie Ge'an can't even handle such a small matter, then where does he get the nerve to act so arrogantly in Yujing?

As for this so-called marriage, Song Qinghan's help was certainly indispensable.

Si Niannian was too lazy to argue with her about such an impossible pipe dream.

but……

Si Niannian turned to look at Zheng Yunliang, who had just caught a fish, and then at Song Qinghan, whose eyes were full of coquettish charm, and almost couldn't bear it.

Does this future matriarch of the Zheng family know that Zheng Yunliang is already the father of three children?

Those are three children...
