Lianyi frowned and did not refute Mrs. Hou. She just sighed and said:
"Mother, I rescued my sister by mistake this time, but my sister will get married after all, so it is better to let her get married. She cares about her health first, and what happened today will be rotten in my stomach."
After saying this, Lianyi stood up, bowed, and said goodbye.
Mrs. Hou did not leave any trace, waving her hand to let her go back. Anyway, there is no need for her to show up in the back garden now.
Lianyi took Grandma Yao and the two maids back to Bilanyuan and went directly to take a nap. The rest will be discussed after Duoduo comes back.
The spring banquet in the Hou Mansion went smoothly. The young masters and ladies who came to attend the banquet in the afternoon all went back one after another, and the entire Hou Mansion returned to peace.
Mrs. Hou went to see her beloved little daughter.
Xue Lianyi had been restless all day, and finally looked forward to her mother, and immediately asked:
"Mom, did the eldest sister reveal her secret?"
" Don't worry, she happened to see Mrs. Lin and Lin Yaozu when she passed by, and she didn't reveal her secrets under my hint."
"It's really an advantage to her! It's all because of my poor health, otherwise how could I let her meet my fiancé."
Xue Lianyi said while twisting her handkerchief.
"Lianyi, the most important thing for you now is to take good care of your health. If your health improves in three months, you will no longer need your eldest sister. Now you have to keep your eldest sister."
< br>Mrs. Hou comforted her beloved little daughter.
"Mom, I understand your painstaking efforts. I haven't stopped taking any decoction these days, and I feel that my body has improved a bit."
Xue Lianyi said immediately.
"That's good. Take good care of yourself and don't think too much. Mother is there for everything."
Mrs. Hou took the medicine bowl from the maid's hand and fed her by the spoonful. I gave it to my daughter, watched her finish drinking, stuffed her with a candied fruit, and waited until her little daughter fell asleep before returning to her place.
On the other side of Bilan Garden, Lianyi, who was meditating on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Duoduo who had sneakily climbed onto the bed. He quickly grabbed the opponent with quick eyes and hands, shook Duoduo and then disappeared. He said angrily:
“You are finally willing to come back.”
"Hehe, Master, the back garden is very lively today. I watched the excitement for a while."
"What excitement have you seen?"
"There is a lot of excitement, those little girls and the little ones The kid's mind is like a sieve, digging holes for others all the time, and he has to go through three twists and turns before he can understand anything he says."
Duo Duo shook the flower plate and said.
“Any useful news?”
Ripple asked directly.
"It's true. After you left Mrs. Hou's yard, the old woman went to see her beloved little daughter, and then said that she would keep you for the time being. When her little daughter's health improves, you will be there again. Kick you away."
"Oh? Really?"
Lianyi is not surprised at all, this is what they did in the previous life.
"Don't worry, Master, how can Duoduo let them succeed? I added some good ingredients to her soup."
Duoduo said proudly.
“Don’t kill people.”
Lianyi rubbed the petals of the blossoming flowers and said.
"Master, don't worry about Duoduo's work. I'm just giving her a drop of 'flash in the pan' diluted a thousand times. As long as the Hou family doesn't want to lose the Lin family as their marriage partner, you will always be Xue Lianyi."
After listening to Duoduo's words, Lianyi pursed her lips and smiled. Unexpectedly, Duoduo and her had a similar heart. She originally wanted to do this. It wasn't because of the same face that she became a spare tire, but if the original sister lost her beautiful appearance, she would have to see how Mrs. Hou turned around.
"Good job, go and rest! You don't have to go over there."
Lianyi said generously.
“Yes, Master.”
Ripples then continued to sink into cultivation. In three months, she had not yet advanced to the first level of Qi Refining. The main reason was that her spiritual power was too thin. She wasn't in a hurry either.
After the Spring Banquet, the Hou Mansion put all its energy into Xue Lianyi's marriage, and the servants in the backyard were even more busy.
The main reason is that Xue Lianyi's condition has relapsed. Not only has it not improved, but it has also worsened. Now he is so weak that he can only lie in bed and take ginseng every day to survive.
About a month before the wedding, Marquis Anding finally returned to the Marquis Mansion. Madam Hou seemed to have found a backbone. She went to Marquis Anding's study and sent everyone out, then she talked about her little daughter. condition.
"Why is it so serious? When you wrote to me before, didn't you say that your daughter's condition is improving? Why did her condition suddenly take a turn for the worse? Did you take my name card to the palace to ask for an imperial doctor?"< br>
Marquis Anding was dressed in a python robe, and his face was calm and intimidating. At this time, his eyebrows were furrowed into the character "Chuan" and he asked in a deep voice.
Mrs. Hou did not tell Hou Anding about this in her previous life, because although her youngest daughter's condition had not been cured, she was not as dying as she is now.
This time, due to the intervention of the taskmaster Lianyi and Duoduo's magical operation, Mrs. Hou felt that she could no longer handle it, so she had to choose to confess to Hou Anding.
"Master Hou, as a mother, can I still treat my daughter harshly? I gave my daughter the best medicine, but somehow her condition worsened, and the doctor couldn't find out the reason.
Seeing that my marriage to the Lin family is approaching, I don’t dare to go to the palace to ask for an imperial doctor. If the Lin family finds out, they will definitely cancel the engagement. This is not good for the Hou family, and I don’t dare to make any independent decisions."
After speaking, Mrs. Hou wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Go and see your daughter first."
Anding Hou took his wife to the courtyard of his youngest daughter. His heart sank when he saw his daughter lying on the bed dying, thin and disfigured.
Xue Lianyi's eyes burst with excitement when she saw Andinghou. She was helped up by the maid, but she fainted without saying a few words.
When the doctor from the government came over, they were in a hurry again before Xue Lianyi's life was suspended.
Back in the study, An Dinghou rubbed his temples and could only say helplessly:
"That's all. I'll go to Shangshu's Mansion tomorrow to explain the matter clearly. Our two families are married and not enemies. Don't let it end by then, and Ripple will be unlucky."
"Master Hou, no. We can't give up at the last moment."
"Lianyi is like this. I guess I can't even get on the sedan chair. What can I do?"
"Master Hou, I have a way."< br>
Mrs. Hou gritted her teeth and decided to let her eldest daughter marry on her behalf.
When the Marquis heard what his wife said, his eyes widened. After thinking for a long time, he said:
"You should talk to your eldest daughter first. I want to see her before making a decision."
In the eyes of Marquis Anding, the prosperity of the Marquis Mansion is the most important thing. She is just an abandoned daughter. It is her honor to contribute to the Marquis Mansion.
After hearing what her husband said, Mrs. Hou finally felt relieved, as long as her husband didn't blame her for hiding the existence of her eldest daughter.
The next day, when Lianyi went to pay her respects after breakfast, Mrs. Hou dismissed the servants and while wiping her tears, she talked about the worsening condition of her little daughter.
"Mother, what can I do for my sister?"
Lianyi asked with a worried look.
This is what Mrs. Hou was waiting for, and she immediately said:
"Lianyi, if you really feel sorry for me, marry into the Lin Mansion for your sister." (End of Chapter)
