“This…” Sun Yue hesitated. She was afraid that if she told her sister, her younger sister would also fall in love with him.
Seeing her hesitate, Xueyi quickly took her hand and spoke.
“Sister, don’t worry. Jin’er and I both believe that you have excellent judgment. If that young master is as outstanding as you say, then Grandmother will certainly not object.”
Sun Jin, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement. "Sister, my second sister and I are definitely on your side. As long as you tell us what his good points are, we can help you talk to Grandmother."
In fact, Sun Jin had planned to come in and confront her sister from the beginning, telling her that the man was no good and that he was lying to people everywhere even though he had a fiancée at home. However, her second sister said that her eldest sister's heart was now completely devoted to that young master Lin, so she couldn't be so forceful and had to take it slowly.
He thought that since his second sister was also a woman, she might understand what his eldest sister was thinking better, so they chose this roundabout method.
Seeing that her younger siblings were indeed very enthusiastic and eager to help, she nodded with tears in her eyes.
She truly hoped that her younger siblings could understand her heart, and that her grandmother could grant her and Young Master Lin's wish.
"Okay, then I'll tell you. Here's what happened."
Two months ago, I went out with Cailian and happened to run into Young Master Lin composing poetry. My purse fell, and it was Young Master Lin who picked it up for me.
Later, when Cailian and I went to offer incense, we encountered some bad people. It was thanks to the knowledge Lin Gongzi had acquired that we were able to make those bad people feel ashamed and leave on their own.
The two men were speechless. "..." They felt ashamed and left? Why did they think this was so unreliable?
"Later, I didn't have a chance to go out. Cailian told me that there was a small path in our backyard, and Cailian and I often went out from there."
Cailian would keep an eye on things for me, and Lin Gongzi and I gradually grew to know and love each other.
Young Master Lin is very talented, but he is simply not given the opportunity to shine.
His path to the imperial examinations was made even more difficult by his mother's illness.
Sometimes Young Master Lin paints; he's very good at it. Look, these are the ones I hang in my room.”
Sun Yue excitedly told them about her sweetheart's virtues, pointing to the paintings on the wall.
The two fell silent again. They couldn't understand what it was. The flowers didn't look like flowers, the butterflies didn't look like butterflies, and the scenery was strange. To put it bluntly, it didn't resemble anything at all. They had just drawn something random to imitate others, and yet they insisted that they were unique and had a style.
"Those ignorant people don't understand Young Master Lin's talent, so I used my pocket money to buy his paintings."
Even though he desperately needed money, he was willing to use the money he earned from selling his goods to treat me to noodles.
I would then give him writing brushes, ink, paper, and an inkstone.
The two: "..."
Big sister, it seems like all that money is yours?
You buy his painting with your silver, he then spends a few coins to treat you to noodles, and finally you spend tens of taels of silver to buy him brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Sun Jin felt she couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to take action to teach that scumbag a lesson.
"Later, we fell in love. Young Master Lin said that he could only marry me after I passed the imperial examination, so we would meet secretly every time."
Young Master Lin really went to great lengths to marry me.
"Where does this young master Lin live? What is his name?"
"Lin Xuan lives in Linjia Village." Sun Yue's face turned completely red; she looked incredibly shy and timid.
"What?" Sun Xueyi was shocked and couldn't believe it. "Big sister, are you sure? I also know a man named Lin Xuan. He's also a scholar from this village, but he has a fiancée."
Besides, they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together. Are you sure you're not mistaken?
He was a scholar, that's true, but he liked to deceive women by claiming it was to make friends through literature, when in reality he just wanted to win their affections and ask them for money. A complete scumbag.
Sun Xueyi looked at her with surprise and uncertainty as she said these words, and she was both shocked and worried.
"impossible."
Sun Yue's first reaction was that it was impossible; the person she liked would never lie to her.
“Sister, you must have misunderstood. Young Master Lin would never lie to me. He said he would marry me and spend his life with me, so he would never lie to me. Are you like Grandmother, wanting me to separate from Young Master Lin?”
I told you I don't care about wealth and status; I'm willing to share joys and sorrows with Young Master Lin, and never abandon him.
Sun Yue spoke with great conviction, her eyes shining brightly. It was clear that her affection for that young master Lin was deeply ingrained and beyond saving.
Seeing this situation, Sun Xueyi thought for a moment and spoke.
"Since you don't believe me, why don't you come with me and see if the person I'm talking about is your Young Master Lin? If not, wouldn't you be even happier? Grandmother would be relieved too."
Sister, Grandmother doesn't want you to have a reputation for having secret affairs. Since he and you are in love, you should send someone to propose marriage.
Women already have it tough; if they don't take care of themselves, what will they do in the future?
If you don't care about gossip, that's fine, but if you can't stand it... those rumors are like knives, stabbing deeply into your heart. They can break you.
Sun Xueyi herself suffered greatly from this, and the first knife came from her family. At that time, she knew that no matter what you do, in the eyes of people who don't like you, you are full of flaws.
“I…” Sun Yue hesitated. She didn’t dare to verify it. She could tell them definitively that the person Xueyi was talking about wasn’t Young Master Lin, but she was too afraid to verify it. She was afraid… afraid…
"Let's go, sister."
