Chapter 174 Blame it on her again

It turned out to be Lin Jingwei under the veil.

She was only sixteen years old, and she married Boss Hu, who could be her father?

I'm afraid all this was arranged by Old Lady Wang and Uncle Lin.

"let's go."

Lin Zhiyi was not interested in getting involved in the affairs of the second branch of the Lin family.

Everyone has his or her own cause and effect. Uncle Lin and Mrs. Zou don’t care about their own daughter, let alone others.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

Before the two of them walked out of the door, a woman came in. She looked somewhat similar to Boss Hu. Lin Zhiyi guessed that she must be Boss Hu's mother.

"We are the bride's relatives, and we are here to congratulate her."

As soon as Lin Zhiyi opened her mouth, Lin Jingwei recognized it as Lin Zhiyi's voice.

She lifted her veil and asked, "It's you? What are you doing here?"

Lin Zhiyi turned around and asked, "Jingwei, are you really willing to marry Boss Hu?"

Thinking that Lin Jingwei had never had any conflict with her, if Lin Jingwei really came to her for help, she might also consider helping her and lending her some money to get out of the situation.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jingwei looked at her with resentment after hearing this: "Lin Zhiyi, don't be so kind. If it weren't for you, why would I marry you?"

When Lin Zhiyi heard this, he really hated himself for meddling in other people's business.

He knew very well the bad qualities of the second and third wives, and that he had inherited all of Old Lady Wang's selfishness, meanness, viciousness and ignorance, yet he still meddled in other people's affairs.

"What does it have to do with me? Did I ask you to marry Boss Hu?"

"Boss Hu is interested in you. If you were willing to marry me, my elder sister wouldn't have to run away from home, and this marriage wouldn't have fallen on me."

There was a bit more resentment in Lin Jingwei's eyes.

"Oh, you're worthy of being Wang's granddaughter, the daughter of the second wife. Even your thoughts are so weird, as if everyone owes you something. Lin Jingwei, you have to understand clearly, it's your father who owes gambling debts, it's your father who owes money to Boss Hu, do you understand that the son owes the father's debt?

If anyone wants to marry, it should be you, his biological daughter, who should marry Boss Hu to pay off his debts. How could it be my niece's turn?"

"Besides, I'm now a fifth-rank county lady appointed by the emperor. Ask Boss Hu, if I dare to marry him, does he dare to marry me? Is he worthy?"

Lin Jingwei was shocked.

It turns out that the Jiahe County Lord who has been a hot topic throughout the county these past two days is actually Lin Zhiyi.

"Impossible, impossible! How could the Emperor suddenly confer the title of County Lord upon you, a criminal?"

Lin Jingwei couldn't accept this result.

She was forced to marry an old man, while Lin Zhiyi was able to enjoy honor and respect?

Oh my God, are you really blind?

"Don't forget, I'm a married woman, but I'm a good citizen. Besides, I was able to be named a county lady because I've done good things that benefited the country and the people. Are all people like you, forced to live under a man's crotch?"

Lin Zhiyi was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and let Li Wenjing take her away.

But he was stopped by Boss Hu's mother.

It was because Lin Zhiyi's words, "I dare to marry, but does he dare to marry me?" were overheard by Old Lady Hu.

It turned out that his son almost married a county lady who was granted an imperial decree, and this honor almost belonged to their Hu family.

With a daughter-in-law like this entering the Hu family, who in Fangling County would dare to look down on them?

Thinking of this, she stopped Lin Zhiyi directly and said, "Miss Lin, if you are willing to marry my son, you can be the head of the family as soon as you enter the house. I can guarantee that all the assets of the Hu family will be at your disposal."

Lin Zhiyi was directly disgusted.

She pulled Li Wenjing up and introduced him to Old Lady Hu: "See? This is my husband. Do you think your son can compare to my husband?"

Mrs. Hu only took one look at Li Wenjing and said disdainfully, "So what if he's good-looking? He's not as rich as my son."

"I can make money myself. I can make a curved plow, so why can't I make other things? As for him not having money, it doesn't matter. I will support my own husband myself. As long as he is pleasing to the eye, I am willing to support him for the rest of his life."

"Let's go, husband."

Lin Zhiyi pulled Li Wenjing out the door.

Only Old Lady Hu was left standing there cursing.

Originally, she was quite satisfied with her son marrying Lin Jingwei, thinking that her son was capable of marrying a virgin girl.

But compared with Lin Zhiyi, Lin Jingwei was immediately outshined.

Old Mrs. Hu cursed inwardly. Although they were both daughters of the Lin family, Lin Jingwei was far inferior to the Miss Lin from before, in terms of appearance, figure, and abilities.

Seeing Lin Jingwei secretly lifting the veil, she couldn't help but scold: "Who told you to lift the veil? It's really unlucky. Why don't you cover the veil properly?"

Lin Jingwei was already furious, and with the accusations from her mother-in-law, she felt both aggrieved and unwilling.

Thinking of the look the deposed prince gave Lin Zhiyi just now, and the doting in his eyes, she felt a little envious.

How wonderful it would be if she could marry a handsome husband like the deposed crown prince.

Suddenly I regretted marrying Boss Hu.

Thinking of what her elder sister Lin Jingshu said to her before she ran away from marriage, telling her to be more careful and not always give to her parents' family, but to plan more for herself, she even scolded her elder sister for being conscienceless.

Now that I think about it, maybe my elder sister is right.

After discovering that her eldest sister had run away from her marriage and there was no way to save her parents, grandmother, brother and sister-in-law from being homeless, she decided to step in and marry in their place.

Her parents, grandmother, brother and sister-in-law, who were originally worried, looked so happy when they learned that she was willing to marry in her place that it was really eye-catching.

He didn't consider her at all. She was a sixteen-year-old girl who married a forty-year-old man. Her children were almost the same age as her. How would she live?

"My daughter-in-law knows she's wrong."

As Lin Jingwei spoke, she covered herself with the veil.

Her well-behaved appearance made Old Mrs. Hu feel a little guilty.

After Old Lady Hu left, Lin Jingwei pulled off the veil.

No, she can't marry Boss Hu.

She touched the headgear on her head.

The betrothal money sent by the Hu family was also taken away by Lin Jingshu, and Uncle Lin did not prepare any dowry for Lin Jingwei.

The only condition Lin Jingwei put forward was that Boss Hu buy her a set of headwear.

Boss Hu thought that if Lin Jingshu, a second-married woman, was replaced by Lin Jingwei, a virgin, it would be reasonable to buy a set of noodles.

Because of their guilt, Old Lady Wang and Second Uncle Lin did not take away Lin Jingwei's headgear.

Unexpectedly, this headgear could save my life.

Thinking that Boss Hu had to entertain guests and would not be back for a while, Lin Jingwei first locked the door from the inside, and then went to the bronze mirror, took off the headgear, and wrapped it in a wedding scarf.

She took off her bright red wedding dress, threw it on the bed, held the headgear in her handkerchief, climbed out the window and left the Hu family.

It was precisely because the Hu family members were all entertaining guests in the front yard, and the Hu family had no servants, that all the people invited to the wedding were the Hu family's relatives and friends.

Naturally, no one cared about the bride, so Lin Jingwei successfully escaped.

————

Lin Zhiyi and Li Wenjing also got on the carriage and headed for the village.

Noticing that Li Wenjing had been staring at her, Lin Zhiyi asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Li Wenjing smiled and said, "My wife, call me husband again and I will tell you."
