Chapter 525: A Mistake
Of course Xiao refused, but as a divorced woman returning home, her marriage was in the hands of her parents and she had no say in it.
At such times, many women would either accept their fate or seek death. But Xiao Shi couldn't do that, because she still had Chen Yao.
It is said that a mother is strong. Faced with such a dilemma, on the one hand, Xiao did not give in to Lin's father, and on the other hand, she actively sent people to inquire about the situation of the Lin family.
She wants the Lin family to reject the marriage proposal!
Just when Xiao was about to be unable to hold back Lin's father, things took a turn for the better.
Prince Zhao captured Chenzhou and pointed his sword at northern Hubei, causing an uproar throughout the court.
On the surface, Duke Lin Qingyun appears to be an upright, loyal and patriotic man, but in reality he is timid and extremely cautious.
Under this situation, Lin Qingyun began to make plans for the Lin family.
It was at this time that Xiao started talking to Mrs. Lin.
She firmly expressed her unwillingness to marry into the Lin family, and revealed that if her parents forced her to remarry, she would find a way to go to northern Hubei to find the Shen family.
Coincidentally, one of the escape routes Lin Qingyun left for the Lin family was for Madam Lin and the old lady to lead the family's legitimate daughter and illegitimate son to the northwest.
Mrs. Lin and Old Lady Lin were truly kindhearted. When they learned of Xiao's thoughts, they did not blame her. Instead, they asked her if she was willing to go northwest with them so that they could find an opportunity to go to northern Hubei.
"Taifu Shen took great care of my family back then, so naturally I have to take care of his descendants." Madam Lin smiled kindly at Xiao.
Xiao knew that she was relying on Master Shen's help again, but she did not agree immediately, saying that she would go back and think about it for a few days.
If it were just her, she might have agreed without hesitation, but she also had her daughter, Shen Yao, so Xiao used the few days of consideration to inquire about some things and confirmed that Master Shen had indeed helped Madam Lin's family in the past before giving Madam Lin a reply.
"In order to avoid my father looking for a marriage for me, Madam Lin suggested that I first make a temporary marriage with her family's illegitimate son, and then cancel the marriage when we get to the place." After Xiao finished speaking, she let out a long breath and looked at Shen Jun with eyes full of guilt.
After hearing this, Shen Jun forcefully pulled her up from the ground and said, "It's not your fault. I don't blame you."
Wu sighed and said, "Don't kneel down, this is not your fault, but the man you are engaged to..."
Regardless of whether it was true or not, the marriage was settled, and the Lin family had not treated the Xiao mother and daughter badly along the way. Logically speaking, the Shen family owed them a huge favor.
But, if Xiao is engaged to that man, what will happen in the future?
"He was hacked to death when we encountered bandits." Xiao's voice became lower and lower.
In fact, that man wanted to harass her many times on the road, but was stopped by Mrs. Lin every time. At that time, Mrs. Xiao secretly thought in her heart that it would be better if he died.
Later, that person really died, and Xiao felt that she shouldn't curse him. After all, if there wasn't such a person, she would never have been able to come to northern Hubei with the Lin family without any obstacles.
All I can say is that things are unpredictable and things happen by accident.
Wu and Shen Jun looked at each other and then asked, "What did Madam Lin say?"
"Madam told me not to take it to heart. She never wanted me to marry that man." Xiao replied.
This was originally what she and Mrs. Lin had agreed upon, but the Lin family later underwent drastic changes, and these things became a little confusing.
Shen Jun held her shoulders and said, "Don't feel sorry for them. Since you are here, our family will take better care of you in the future."
With what Liang Cheng said in public, the Shen family now has the confidence to say this.
The arrival of the Lin family broke the peace of Huanxiyuan.
