He Linsheng is eighteen years old this year. Because of his bad reputation and his parents and himself being picky, his marriage has not been decided yet.

A few days ago, his parents fell in love with the eldest daughter of the Chen family. They said that although Chen's father had not been in Dingzhou for long, he had made outstanding achievements in government. The emperor admired him very much and might transfer him to Beijing for important positions in the future. He looked at Miss Chen from a distance and thought that although she was not stunningly beautiful, she had a good figure, curved eyebrows and eyes, and had a unique charm, so he was willing to marry her.

It's just that the Chen family has been a little hesitant, and they are also afraid that Chu Lingxuan will interfere and change over time. So when they heard that it was Miss Chen San who fell into the water, they jumped into the water without hesitation to save her...

Chu Lingxuan said helplessly, "I have no other choice. If I stand by and don't save your sister, people will say that I am a cold-hearted brother-in-law, and will even talk about our relationship. If I save her, she will definitely take the opportunity to blame me. This is the trap she set for me. I don't care about other people's comments, but I don't want to drag you into it. What's more, Lord Jian happens to be here, and I have always wanted to leave a good impression on him. So, hehe, I can only push He Er out to help me ward off disaster."

Chen Afu was both angry and amused, and said, "He Er helped you avoid disaster, but Chen Yuhui married into the He family, and I don't know what kind of trouble she will cause for my family."

Chu Lingxuan said, "My father-in-law is very smart and knows how to deal with it."

Chen Ahfu said, "You schemed against He Er. Won't the He family hate you even more? Madam He saw me just now and wanted to eat me up. Lord He is your boss. You have to be careful recently and don't let him catch you."

Chu Lingxuan said, "Even if I didn't plot against He Er, the He family would still hate me." He then said nonchalantly, "Lord He is always trying to find fault with me, I'm used to it... Today, when I went to the toilet with Lord Jian, I secretly attacked Lord He. He allowed his son to commit crimes, so He Er used the excuse of a duel to cripple several of his brothers..."

This made Chen Afu laugh again.

Chu Lingxuan said, "I'll send you home. I'll go to your mother's house and talk to your father-in-law."

Chen Afu said, "In that case, we will go with you." Chen Yuhui already has a "good family" and will no longer worry about Chu Lingxuan.

Chu Lingxuan nodded and asked the driver to reverse direction and go to Chen's house.

Chu Hanyan saw her parents finish their words before she said to Chen Afu, "Mom, I saw the bride. She is very pretty, but not as pretty as you. Not only do I say so, but even Sister Lan and Sister Shan say so."

Chu Lingxuan and Chen Afu both laughed. Chen Afu smiled and praised her performance today, and then said, "If you say your mother is pretty, just keep it in your heart. In front of others, you should say that other people's mothers are pretty. That way, they will be happy."

Miss Chu nodded after hearing this.

In the Chen residence, Chen Shiying also returned with his wife and daughter. He was almost mad with anger, thinking of the way his colleagues looked at him, he wanted to kill the disgraced Chen Yuhui.

He followed Chen Yuhui to her yard, slapped her twice, and cursed, "How could I raise a shameless daughter like you. You actually ran to a place not far from a man to pick lotus leaves and fell into the water. Don't tell me you didn't do it on purpose!"

Chen Yuhui stroked her slapped face and said loudly, "I did it on purpose, so what? This is fair. Jiang hated my aunt, so she tried every means to take away my good marriage, but God gave me the good marriage of her own daughter. This is called the cycle of heaven, retribution will not be missed." She cried again, "Daddy, I am also your biological daughter, the eldest daughter who grew up by your side, but how did you treat me? The in-laws you found for me turned out to be local rich people. I have no choice but to do this."

Chen Shiying pointed at her and said angrily, "You are so stubborn. The Chu family specifically wants to marry your eldest sister, so how can we ruin your good marriage? The Wei family that your mother found for you, although they are not officials, the family has money and land, and the family members have good tempers. You will definitely enjoy a good life if you marry into it. You have a bad temper and are short-tempered. It was your father who asked your mother to find such a family, and only such a family will treat you well and tolerate you. Do you really think He Er is a good marriage? Telling your third sister to him is just your mother's idea, and I haven't agreed yet. What about the He family, the He family..." No matter whether the He family is good or not, she had no choice but to marry into it.

Chen Shiying looked at his second daughter, who was looking at him stubbornly with tears streaming down her face. He was so angry that he shook his sleeves and walked away, asking the maid to keep an eye on her.

Chen Yuhui looked at the two unfamiliar old women in the room, snorted coldly, went into the bedroom and lay down on the bed.

This afternoon she was also fighting for her life, because she heard that Jiang had found a landlord's family in the countryside for her. If she married into a landlord's family, she would rather die.

She came to Fu's house as she wished, got rid of the maid and the old woman who had been following her, and saw Chu Lingxuan and several young men on the other side of the lake. She felt that her chance had come, so she went to the bridge to pick lotus leaves and then fell into the lake. She calculated that whether Chu Lingxuan was because of his reputation or because he loved her, he would definitely come to save her.

However, after she woke up, she heard that the person who saved her was not Chu Lingxuan, but He Linsheng, the second son of the He family. Although she still felt a little regretful, marrying He Er was better than marrying into a landlord's family. Moreover, she knew that Jiang wanted to marry Chen Yuqing to the He family, and it seemed that Chen Yuqing was quite willing. Stealing Chen Yuqing's good husband and angering the mother and daughter to death was also an unexpected gain. Thinking of this, she laughed out loud.

Jiang and Chen Yuqing were really angry. Chen Yuqing had been holding it in at Fu's house, but when she returned to her own yard, she burst into tears. Jiang tried to comfort her with tears in her eyes.

When Chen Yuhui was at Fu's house, he was sent to Madam Fu's yard by the maid to change clothes. When Jiang, Madam Fu and Madam He heard about it, they were so scared that they ran to Madam Fu's yard.

Because the maid who came to report said that the girl who fell into the water was Miss Chen San, and the person who saved her was Mr. He Er.

At that time, Madam He held Jiang's hand and said, "Madam Chen, don't worry. We all like Miss Chen and will definitely take responsibility. This is a match made in heaven..."

When they arrived at Mrs. Fu's yard, they realized that the person who fell into the water was not Miss Chen San, but Miss Chen's second concubine's daughter.

Madam He's face darkened at that moment, and her hands were shaking with anger. She had just said in front of Madam Fu and many other ladies that she would take responsibility, so she couldn't change her mind, could she? Besides, this matter had become so serious that it was impossible for her to change her mind, and her husband had always wanted to marry into the Chen family, so he would definitely facilitate this matter. However, her legitimate son marrying a concubine's daughter was like eating a fly...
