Chapter 1: Marrying a wife turns into taking a concubine!
"Oh my! The sedan chair is already at the door, why isn't the bride ready yet?"
"Sister-in-law Qin, quickly take the bride to change into her wedding dress. Mr. Lin specifically instructed us to wear this wedding dress today."
As soon as the matchmaker entered the room, she saw Qin Zhizhi wearing a bright red wedding dress and urged her.
And handed the pink wedding dress in his hand to Qin Zhizhi's mother Zhang.
The originally bustling room suddenly fell silent, and the people who were originally preparing to cover Qin Zhizhi's veil looked at the matchmaker in astonishment.
Although the Qin family is not wealthy, Qin Zhizhi is favored in the Qin family.
The wedding dress she was wearing today was specially prepared for her by the Qin family and was embroidered by Qin Zhizhi herself, so the meaning was naturally different.
Qin Zhizhi's aunt, Mrs. Li, was the first to react and asked the matchmaker.
"Is there something wrong with this wedding dress? Today is the wedding day of my Zhizhi and my niece's husband. We should wear red. Why are you changing it?"
Aunt Li's words made matchmaker panic for a moment, but she continued to fool people when she thought of the reward money given by Mrs. Lin.
"This is what Mr. Lin specially prepared for the bride. Let's quickly get her to put it on."
The bridesmaid thought her explanation was flawless, but the people present were not to be fooled.
Third Aunt Wang retorted disapprovingly, "This wedding dress was embroidered stitch by stitch by stitch, and it's perfect for today."
"Third sister-in-law is right. It's better not to change it, so as not to delay the auspicious time. Qingyuan, come quickly and carry your sister to the sedan chair."
Qin Zhizhi's mother, Zhang, called her eldest son to come and carry her daughter into the sedan chair.
"Sister-in-law Qin, absolutely not. Mr. Lin said that the bride must wear this suit today. You should help her change."
The matchmaker brought out Lin Heng (Lin Xiucai, today's groom), hoping that Qin Zhizhi would change into her wedding dress quickly.
"Why do I have to change into wedding clothes? I'll go ask my nephew's husband right now!" Aunt Li decided to go out and find out.
"Mrs. Qin, please stay. The auspicious time is about to come and there is no time to waste. The bride should change into her wedding dress and get into the sedan chair first." The matchmaker did not expect the Qin family to be so particular.
Before coming, Mrs. Lin told her that Qin Zhizhi would obey her son Lin Heng's words, and as long as she said it was Lin Heng's request, Qin Zhizhi would happily agree.
But now, Qin Zhizhi didn't say a word, and her mother, aunt and third aunt took the lead in disagreeing.
"Marriage is a big deal, so we must get everything clear. We must not let our Zhizhi down."
Li was about to leave when Qin Zhizhi called out, "Auntie, there's no need to ask."
When the matchmaker saw Qin Zhizhi calling out to Qin Dasao, she was immediately delighted. Just as Mrs. Lin and Lin Heng said, Qin Zhizhi loved Mr. Lin terribly.
"Zhizhi?" The three sisters-in-law looked at Qin Zhizhi in confusion. They knew very well how much their daughter/niece valued Lin Heng.
"Mother, Auntie, Third Aunt, Lin Heng is not coming to pick up the bride today."
After Qin Zhizhi finished speaking, everyone present was shocked and unbelievable.
Qin Zhizhi and Lin Heng have been engaged since childhood. The Lin family has always attached great importance to Qin Zhizhi. Everyone found it incredible that Lin Heng did not come to pick up the bride today.
"Zhizhi, how did you know?" Third Aunt Wang was shocked.
"Aunt San, if you don't believe it, you can ask the matchmaker." Qin Zhizhi threw the question to the matchmaker again.
"What my Zhizhi said is true. Did Lin Heng really not come to pick up the bride?"
Qin Zhizhi's mother's eyes turned red with anger.
Getting married is such a big thing, but Lin Heng didn't even go to the bride's house in person to pick her up. How dare the Lin family look down on their own daughter like that?
Matchmaker didn't expect Qin Zhizhi to know about it. She thought Lin Heng had already informed Qin Zhizhi. Seeing that everyone was looking at her, she struggled for a while before telling the truth.
"Since the bride knows everything, I don't need to hide it for Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin really didn't come to pick up the bride today."
"But what happened to the Lin family that delayed my nephew's husband from coming to pick up the bride in person?" Third Aunt Wang was a little worried.
"That...that's not the case. Mr. Lin said that there's no need to go to the bride's house in person."
Xi Po's voice became lower and lower. Seeing how much the Qin family valued their daughter, she was really afraid that if she told what Lin Po had said, she would be beaten up by the Qin family.
"Since there is nothing to delay, why don't you come to pick up the bride in person?" Aunt Li asked the question of everyone present.
Everyone's eyes turned to Xiniang again. Although Xiniang was worried about being beaten, she still gritted her teeth and repeated what Mrs. Lin and Lin Heng had said.
"The Lin family said that the groom only needs to come to the house to pick up the bride when marrying a wife, but not when taking a concubine. Mr. Lin is going to enter the government in the future, so he still has to follow the rules of a wealthy family."
Xi Po now regrets taking the extra money given by the Lin family. The Lin family was unfair in the first place, but now she is the one who is in trouble.
"Take a concubine? A wealthy family? The Lin family wants my daughter Zhizhi to be Lin Heng's concubine. How can they have the nerve to do that?"
Qin Zhizhi's mother, Zhang, had anger in her eyes and her voice rose several degrees.
"No wonder he didn't come to welcome the bride. It turns out he had such dirty thoughts. Very good. Qingyuan will take people to the Lin family to bring Lin Heng here. Let's talk about this matter clearly today."
Aunt Li was a hot-tempered person. At this moment, she wished she could go to Linjia Village and beat up Lin Heng's entire family.
Qin Zhizhi's elder brother Qin Qingyuan was also furious at this moment.
When he heard his aunt-in-law asking him to go to the Lin family to bring Lin Heng, he turned around and walked out of the door angrily, and called the clansmen who came to help today to go to Linjia Village.
Qin Zhizhi's third aunt, Wang, was also furious at this moment. "The Lin family is going too far."
Aunt Li gave a look to her second and third brother's wives, comforted Qin Zhizhi a few words, and then went out to talk to her mother-in-law and father-in-law about the matter.
Wang was worried, so she followed him out, because her husband had a bad temper.
If he knew that his beloved niece had suffered such a great injustice, she was afraid that he would smash Lin Heng's head on the spot.
The matchmaker tried her best to reduce her presence and quietly slipped out of the house. Qin Zhizhi's mother stayed in the house to comfort her daughter.
"Zhizhi, don't worry, your parents and uncles will definitely support you today and seek justice for you."
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry."
Qin Zhizhi had calmed down at this moment. She was sure that she had traveled into a book, into the book she had just read a few chapters of.
She just scolded the scumbag Lin Heng and felt sorry for Qin Zhizhi, but she ended up traveling here herself.
When she came here, the matchmaker came in and asked her to change into her wedding dress. The reason why she didn't say anything at first was that she was still shocked and hadn't recovered.
"Zhizhi, I know you like Lin Heng, but the Lin family went too far today. You must listen to me and not compromise."
Zhang looked at her daughter with some worry, afraid that she would be confused again and agree to be Lin Heng's concubine.
The original owner would definitely be coaxed by Lin Heng, but now Qin Zhizhi just wants to stay away from the scumbag and cancel the engagement as soon as possible.
"Don't worry, mother. I know the importance of this matter. I will listen to you today."
Zhang was relieved after getting her daughter's assurance, but when she thought about the Lin family's behavior today, she cursed the Lin family's ancestors for eighteen generations in her heart.
