63 I don’t want to get married (please vote~)
Jiang Yun personally filled the cups of tea for the two of them and said calmly, "Tell me about it."
Lan Zhi trembled all over and clenched her fists nervously.
These days she has been working for Jiang Yun and has never made any mistakes. Most of what she does is to help Jiang Yun sew a few pieces of clothes and embroider some things.
She used to do these chores often when she was in the Hong family, and even more.
So during this period of time, she felt very comfortable staying with Jiang Yun. Even if she couldn't finish her needlework, she wouldn't be scolded or beaten.
She knew that she had an outstanding appearance. When she was in the Hong family, she was often humiliated by her stepmother and step-sister because of this face. She also saw how miserable the good-looking maids around her stepmother and step-sister ended up...
So when she was sent to Jiang Yun for selection, she didn't think Jiang Yun would choose her.
After all, no lady would like a maidservant beside her to have a face prettier than hers...
However, Lan Zhi did not expect that the first maid chosen by Jiang Yun would be her.
At first she thought Jiang Yun would be like her elder sister and just wanted to keep her around to bully her.
But the facts prove that Jiang Yun is really different from her elder sister.
She even felt that being a maid beside Jiang Yun was better than being a concubine in the Jiang family.
It’s a pity that her mother can’t enjoy such a good life.
Lan Zhi lowered her eyes, thinking about the past.
In her ears, Lin Wanyi told her everything about Lan Zhi's life experience and her relationship with Lan Zhi.
Jiang Yun knew that Lan Zhi might be related to Lin Wanyi, but she didn't expect that they were actually relatives.
She looked at Lin Wanyi: "So, where did you originally plan to arrange her?"
When Lin Wanyi heard this, she instantly felt relieved.
It seems that Jiang Yun is not angry, which is good.
She smiled and said, "I originally wanted to arrange Qingqing to be with Ling'er, so that I could take care of her and later find a reason to adopt her as my adopted daughter and arrange a good marriage for her."
Jiang Yun nodded, although she also liked Lan Zhi very much.
She is good-looking, good at sewing, and quiet...
But after all, this is Aunt Lin's niece, and it might not be appropriate for her to bring her to Chong'an Palace...
She looked at Lan Zhi and said, "Then let's do as Aunt Lin originally thought. You can take Lan Zhi back later."
Aunt Lin's face lit up with joy.
But Ke Lanzhi bit her lip and said, "I'm sorry, aunt."
Then she stood up and knelt down in front of Jiang Yun. "Miss, I don't want to get married in my life. I just want to follow you. Please take me in."
After she finished speaking, she knocked heavily to the ground.
Since she was a child, she had seen how humble her mother was in front of her father, and her father was also very good to her mother at the beginning. But later, after her mother gave birth to her, she was left with an ugly scar on her belly, and her father came to see her mother less and less often, so that her mother cried every day and eventually died of depression...
Unfortunately, even though her mother died, her father still never showed up...
From that moment on, she had an idea in her mind, that is, never get married in this life. As long as she didn't get married, she would not become like her mother.
Originally in the Hong family, she could only think about this idea in her mind.
Until the Hong family fell.
To be honest, she was happy the moment she learned that the Hong family had collapsed.
But her father's crime was so serious that it implicated the entire family, and all the women in the family became slaves of the government.
But fortunately, she was bought by her aunt.
As for the other members of the Hong family, she no longer paid attention to them after she left the prison.
When Lin Wanyi heard what Lan Zhi said, she couldn't hide the shock on her face.
She stood up suddenly and said in disbelief: "Qingqing, do you know what you are talking about?"
Lan Zhi slowly raised her stunning face and said with a determined look, "Aunt, Qingqing has always forgotten to tell you that the letters my mother wrote to you were actually fake. Ever since my mother's figure got out of shape, my father rarely came to her yard. My mother didn't die of a cold at all. She died of depression because she couldn't see my father. In fact, my mother didn't even see my father until she died."
"What?!" Lin Wanyi was dazed for a moment, and fell back into the chair, muttering: "How could this happen? How could this happen?"
Lan Zhi's lips curled up with a mocking smile, "I don't want to become like my mother, so since my mother died, I swore to never marry. Men are all bad! As for why my mother wrote to you like that, she just didn't want you to worry. She often told me that you, my cousin, are a concubine in the Jiang family, and your life is not much better than hers, so she always tells you good news but not bad news."
After hearing this, Lin Wanyi could no longer maintain her composure. She covered her face with her hands, lowered her head and burst into tears.
There was admiration in Jiang Yun's eyes as he looked at Lan Zhi.
She likes such women. It is really amazing that they can have such thoughts despite being born in such an era.
But it's too extreme, which is not good either.
But she is still young, and her future experiences will slowly correct her thoughts, so Jiang Yun is not in a hurry to correct them.
Lin Wanyi cried for a while, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and suddenly smiled with relief.
Even she didn't want Jiang Lintian to get close to her, not to mention that Qingqing had witnessed with her own eyes how her mother died tragically.
Why does she have to arrange Qingqing's life according to the established way of life in the world?
She looked at Lan Zhi with pity on her face, "Qingqing, if you don't want to get married, then don't get married. But if you want to stay with the young lady, you have to get the young lady's approval."
Jiang Yun blinked and said, "I have no problem with that. It's mainly about how you choose."
Lin Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up and knelt in front of Jiang Yun, "Thank you, Miss, for taking Qingqing in."
Lan Zhi also kowtowed to express her gratitude, and then corrected Lin Wanyi: "Aunt, my name is Lan Zhi."
Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "Yes, Lanzhi, I will call you Lanzhi from now on."
Jiang Yun held his forehead with his hand and said helplessly: "Why don't you stand up first?"
These people are good in every way, except for their habit of kneeling down to others. Jiang Yun is still a little uncomfortable with this...
Lin Wanyi and Lan Zhi smiled at each other and stood up.
Lin Wanyi said, "Lanzhi, go and do your work. I have something to tell the young lady."
Lan Zhi knelt down and said to Jiang Yun, "I will go and embroider a purse for you. You and Aunt Lin can chat here slowly."
Jiang Yun nodded and watched Lan Zhi leave happily.
Lin Wanyi's eyes were also filled with relief.
After the others walked away, Lin Wanyi spoke up, "Miss, you already know about Du Rou's matter, right?"
When she said this, Jiang Yun was drinking tea with her eyes lowered. Hearing this, she put down the teacup and nodded slightly.
Lin Wanyi smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, Miss. However, I really only found out about Du Rou by coincidence."
Then Lin Wanyi told the story of how she discovered Du Rou and how she bought Du Rou and sent her to Jiang Yun.
