"Let's choose her," Lin Shikang said, stepping forward.
When Matchmaker Sun heard that Lin Shikang had agreed, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
"Mr. Lin, you have excellent taste. The girl I introduced you to is perfect. She looks like she can bear a son."
"Then I'll have to trouble you."
"If we are a good match, I hope the woman can marry into the family as soon as possible. Is that alright?"
"No problem, I'll go find a master to calculate your birth charts right away."
If this marriage goes through, Matchmaker Sun will receive a large reward, so she is particularly enthusiastic.
After the matchmaker left, Madam Fan complained unhappily, "Son, you agreed too quickly. We could have negotiated the price."
"That's fine then." Lin Shikang was indifferent to the situation.
Meng Ruyan stood to the side without saying a word, feeling extremely distressed.
Matchmaker Sun acted quickly, having someone examine their birth dates and times that very evening. The results indicated they were a perfect match, and the marriage was arranged the next day.
The bride price of over twenty taels of silver was given away, and Fan's heart ached terribly.
Since she had spent so much money, Madam Fan thought that she should let Ge Dahua come in as soon as possible so that she could do some work and serve her, so that she would suffer less loss.
Fan said that she had been having bad luck lately and wanted to get rid of the bad luck by having a wedding soon. The Ge family accepted the exorbitant dowry and had no objections, so Lin Shikang's wedding was set for the 28th day of the first lunar month.
After the marriage was arranged, Meng Ruyan was always sad and would hide away to wipe her tears.
"Why did you do this to yourself? You gave yourself to another man for Lin Shikang, earning money by selling your smiles to help him succeed in his studies. Now that he's down on his luck, you still don't abandon him. But does he even remember your kindness?" A smiling woman suddenly appeared beside Meng Ruyan and said, "You're so alluring, and you don't have any children yet. When your future wife comes into the house, will you have a place here?"
You're nothing but a lowly servant girl working for their family—no, even worse than a lowly servant girl. A lowly servant girl doesn't have to sleep with her master, and the mistress treats her a little better.
After saying that, the woman left.
Meng Ruyan stood there, stunned.
She knew this woman must be one of Yang Cui's people, because no one else had the ability to know about her past.
What was she trying to do? Was she trying to sow discord between herself and Lin Lang?
She won't fall for it!
