"What's so difficult about it? I don't believe that the person our Lan family is going to marry from the Jin family's branch dares to complain. If anyone dares to complain, I will help you kill her!" Lan Ziye said viciously, waving his little fist.
Yin Xueer's lifeless eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Lan Ziye, and tears began to flow out.
"What's wrong? Don't cry! I'm most afraid of girls crying!" Lan Ziye panicked when he saw Yin Xueer crying and said quickly.
Yin Xueer hurriedly wiped away her tears, took a breath and said, "I know you're doing this for my own good, but it's really not necessary, it's not necessary anymore!"
"No, why not?" Lan Ziye was even more confused and asked anxiously, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly! If you don't tell me, how can I know why you don't need it and how can I help you?"
Yin Xueer's eyes dimmed. "The Yin family is a very small merchant family. Back then, my aunt, your great aunt, met your great uncle Lan Jia. They fell in love at first sight, but the gap in their social status was too great, and the entire Lan family opposed it. Later, Uncle Lan Jia eloped with my aunt... until my aunt became pregnant with my eldest cousin and returned to the Lan family when he was six months old. At that time, the B-ultrasound showed that my aunt was pregnant with a girl. It was because of the girl that Grandpa Lan happily accepted my aunt and helped them to arrange the wedding in a very grand manner, so that everyone in the Lan family recognized my aunt. Who knew that the child she gave birth to would be my eldest cousin? Because of this, my aunt had to humble herself in the Lan family for many years before the elders of the Lan family could untie the knot and accept her again!"
"Because my aunt married into the Lan family, our Yin family received support from the Lan family and was barely considered wealthy. Everyone who knows us knows that our Yin family is actually an empty shell and a hopeless case!" Yin Xueer said in a sad tone.
"But even though my aunt suffered so much and endured so much hardship, at least she entered the Lan family and married my uncle as she wished..." Yin Xueer became less and less confident as she spoke.
"So, you want to follow your aunt's example and elope with Lan Xiaoqi?" Lan Ziye said in astonishment.
What was wrong with this world? In their time, marrying someone meant you were a wife, and eloping meant you were a concubine. Even if a girl came from a wealthy family, if she eloped with a man, she would be reduced to a concubine, being gossiped about for the rest of her life and unable to hold her head up high.
In this era, how could my aunt still succeed in this situation? Not only did she succeed, but it also didn't affect her status and prestige in the Lan family at all. If Yin Xue'er hadn't told me today, I really didn't know that my aunt and uncle had this past. I was foolish and always thought that my aunt was born into a wealthy family!
Yin Xueer nodded and said, "But I overestimated my position in Lan Xiaoqi's heart. When I told Lan Xiaoqi about it that day, Lan Xiaoqi ran away!" At this point, Yin Xueer smiled bitterly and said, "It turns out that it was all my wishful thinking from the beginning to the end!"
"Lan Xiaoqi has you in his heart, he just doesn't want you to follow him without any status. He wants to give you the best and most legitimate relationship! He told me last night that he would tell his parents and grandfather that he wants to marry you, and no one else but you!" Lan Ziye said seriously.
"I also want to be with Lan Xiaoqi openly and honestly, and I want everyone's blessings, but..." Yin Xueer lowered her head and said, "Grandpa Lan and the others won't agree!"
