Every word the old lady spoke was filled with deep disdain, bringing tears to Sun Yue's eyes.
She never imagined that all her efforts would be seen as a waste of her time by Lin Xuan's mother!
To my surprise, she actually wanted to make her her concubine!
"Auntie, how could you insult me like this? You didn't say this before. You said that as long as I was willing to work hard, you would agree to me being with Lin Xuan."
How could she change her mind so soon?
Of course, it was because she had no money left. The old lady heard that the eldest daughter of the Sun family had passed away, which meant that the Sun family would no longer acknowledge her.
"Although my parents have both passed away, my grandmother is still alive. How can you say such things about me!"
The old lady laughed when she heard this, laughing at her for being too naive.
"The eldest daughter of the Sun family has passed away." That was all the old lady said.
"What?" Sun Yue didn't react. During this period, she had been staying at home and hadn't gone out. She was so busy every day that she couldn't stop. When she finally stopped, it was already night. She would lie down and fall asleep, but she couldn't wake up no matter what. She was just too tired.
She had tried so hard, yet Lin Xuanniang was still not satisfied. She didn't understand why.
Similarly, she was so busy that she had no time to rest and had no idea what was happening outside.
“The Sun family has already informed everyone that the eldest young lady has passed away. You are just an orphan, so where did you get a grandmother from?”
"Running off to a man's house without a marriage contract or certificate—isn't that just throwing yourself at him? If I'm happy, I might make you a concubine; if I'm not, I might make you a maidservant—that's all out of kindness. But if you make me unhappy, you'll never have a proper status in this life. What are you still standing here for? Get back to your room right now!"
Sun Yue didn't want to move, so the old lady dragged her into the room, closed the door, and wouldn't let her out.
Sun Yue slumped to the ground, still immersed in the old lady's words. Her grandmother had actually said that she had passed away... How could this be? How could this be?
She's right here, she's perfectly alive.
She didn't want to be a concubine; she wanted to be Lin Xuan's wife. They were deeply in love and had made vows of eternal love.
Sun Yue cried very loudly.
"Stop crying, you deserve a beating!"
Upon hearing the old lady's voice, she quickly went to bed, covered herself with the blanket, and began to wail loudly.
Waaaaah...
She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally heard Lin Xuan's voice.
"Yueyue".
When Sun Yue came out, her eyes were swollen from crying.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? It breaks my heart to see you like this."
Lin Xuan looked at Sun Yue tenderly, as if she had no idea what had just happened.
"You just now..."
"I just got back from discussing an article with a friend. I brought you some candied fruit; please try it."
Looking at the candied fruit in Lin Xuan's hand, she believed it without any doubt. So Lin Xuan wasn't home just now. No wonder he didn't come out. The light in the study was probably turned on by his mother on purpose.
As for the figure, it could also be clothing.
The most terrifying thing about being brain-dead is that they can overthink things, imagining a whole bunch of things to comfort themselves and finding a whole bunch of reasons for the other person.
"No, no. It's just sand in my eyes. Lin Xuan, do we have a future? Will you marry me?"
Sun Yue's eyes reddened again, her nose stung, and tears streamed down her face... She felt so wronged, and her heart ached so much.
"Of course, we will definitely be together in the future, but I have nothing now, how can I give you a future? Give me some time so that I can pass the imperial examinations and be with you, okay?"
I have to say, this man's voice is very pleasant to listen to; it sounds very genuine.
Sun Yue didn't even ask what their relationship was.
Just then, the old lady's voice rang out, "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
Lin Xuan kissed Sun Yue's head, turned and left. As soon as he turned around, his expression changed, his eyes filled with disgust, and he kept wiping his mouth. It was so dirty, it tasted like dust.
Lin Xuan has indeed been quite busy lately; he spends his days with that young lady.
When they met again, people said that as long as they got married, they would go to the capital together, and he would definitely have no problem passing the imperial examinations.
Lin Xuan immediately saw hope for the future. He always thought he was highly talented, and that his failure to pass the imperial examination was only due to bad luck, lack of money and connections. Now that he had such a father-in-law, he was sure he could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
He plans to go with Miss Nanling to meet her parents in the next couple of days to finalize the marriage arrangements.
At that time, marriage and the imperial examination will be completed in one go.
With better options available, he naturally began to dislike Sun Yue. He only stayed so that someone could take care of his mother. Just as his mother said, his future was limitless, and he couldn't let a woman ruin his path to success. He had to keep her under his thumb.
Of course, Lin Xuan wasn't stupid. He had already inquired and found out that Nan Ling was not only the magistrate's niece, but also the daughter of a general.
He really hit the jackpot this time, no, he's finally found true love!
Sun Yue touched her head, feeling incredibly sweet. Now she wasn't worried anymore. As long as Lin Xuan liked her, everything else became unimportant.
………
The next morning, Lin Xuan told them that he was getting ready to go out.
"Mother, Yueyue is getting ready to go out to take the exam."
This puzzled Sun Yue greatly, as there were still several months to go.
"Isn't it still several months away? Isn't it too early to go now? Do you have enough money?"
Sun Yue had no doubts whatsoever, and was always worried that the monk's travel expenses were insufficient.
Lin Xuan hesitated, seemingly embarrassed to speak. "It's indeed not enough, but it's alright. I can make a living by performing arts along the way and writing letters home for people."
