Lin Xian'er's marriage was arranged because her father saved the old master of the Xu family and won his favor, which led to the engagement between the old master's most promising grandson and Lin Xian'er.
Lin Xian'er was to be married into the Xu family after she came of age. Because of this, although the two old men in the Lin family did not like Lin's father's wives, they treated Lin Xian'er very well.

You must have heard about the story of the real and fake heiresses.
"Your fiancé is the true daughter of the Marquis's family, not some imposter like me."
