Quick Wear: I and the Female Match Share the Battle Shirt

Chapter 220 The Righteous Way (9)

Although Bai Xing was unhappy, she still wanted to fight for it again, and said in a slightly coquettish tone: "Dad, can we wait until I reach the age of 15 to discuss the marriage leave? I still want to stay at home and spend more time with you and mother."

"All the noble ladies in the capital city start to prepare for marriage as soon as they reach the age of marriage. Your second sister did it in the past, and now it's your turn, so it's natural to do the same. Otherwise, the outside world will spread rumors that I favor the second daughter and don't pay attention to the third daughter."

Bai Shiyuan said, his eyes suddenly fell on Lu Changqing, "Fuying's birthday is coming soon, right?"

Lu Changqing put down his chopsticks and replied respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, Dad. It will be next month."

Bai Shiyuan pointed at Lu Changqing and said to Du Hezhi, "Then let's go together. Madam, you should take more care and find more good families to marry. My daughter, Bai Shiyuan, can't marry a bad man."

Du Hezhi's mood suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy.

"Sir, this Fu Ying has been raised by Lin Xiaoniang since she was young. As the child's biological mother, I believe that Lin Xiaoniang should be more willing to come forward to find a man for her."

Bai Shiyuan frowned and said unhappily: "What do you mean? Are you deliberately trying to make people in the capital laugh at me?"

Du Hezhi didn't know why Bai Shiyuan was so angry, so he said aggrievedly, "Sir, why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

Bai Mingzhou also advised: "Dad, don't be angry, if you have anything to say, talk about it nicely."

Bai Shiyuan suppressed his temper and said, "Although Fu Ying was not born from your belly, she is also a proper girl in the mansion. No matter what, she has to call you mother. You, as the mistress, are worried about her marriage. Why do you let the concubines at home do it?"

Bai Shiyuan said as he reached out and patted his face, "Do you think I've never lost face before?"

Du Hezhi felt very aggrieved. "What if I choose the family, and Miss Lin is not satisfied and starts to talk nonsense, and you blame me, then who can I go to for justice?"

Bai Shiyuan choked, "It's not like I don't care about their sisters' marriages. If you have someone you like, why don't you discuss it with me first?"

Du Hezhi rolled his eyes in his heart, "Mrs. Lin is so proud, I'm afraid she won't like the young man I like."

"Why don't you just pick a young man who is better than the one in our Bai Mansion? It would be best if he has a title in the mansion. How could she not be interested in such a family?"

Du Hezhi was so angry at Bai Shiyuan's self-righteous attitude that he laughed. He said sarcastically, "Sir, you are so arrogant. People who don't know would think that our Bai family is a royal family. We can choose any prominent family in the capital."

Bai Shiyuan coughed awkwardly and said, "I'm not saying that we must become relatives with the Marquis's Mansion. I'm just giving an example. You know what I mean. No matter how hard life is, we can't let our daughters suffer. Their eldest sister can marry so well, so Xingke and Fuying can't marry too badly."

After saying this, he glanced at the people at the table and realized that he had a daughter. He added, "The same goes for Weijing."

Bai Weijing, who had always been insignificant, smiled when she heard her father mention her. However, when she looked at Bai Shiyuan, she found that he had turned his head away and did not notice her surprised and eager eyes at all. Her smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a sense of loss and helplessness.

Lu Changqing: …

What the hell, isn't this Bai Xingke's birthday party? What does it have to do with her? Why did they end up talking about her?

As soon as Lu Changqing returned to the yard, Lin Wenqing called him over.

"Did your father mention your third sister's marriage at the banquet?"

Lu Changqing nodded listlessly, "I said it."

"What did your father say?"

"Let the mistress help take a look first."

Lin Wenqing thought of his daughter, "Next month will be your thirteenth birthday. I wonder what your father will plan for that time."

Lu Changqing said, "Dad said today that he would ask the mistress to help him look at the couple together."

Lin Wenqing was a little surprised, "Would Du Hezhi be willing?"

Lu Changqing thought to himself, as expected, he had been fighting against his enemy for more than ten years and he knew his temper very well.

"At first she didn't want to, but then Dad got angry and the mistress had no choice but to agree."

Lin Wenqing breathed a sigh of relief, "I can rest assured that your father has entrusted your marriage to your mistress. If she doesn't want to upset your father, she will definitely not choose a bad family for you."

Lu Changqing: …

"Mom, I don't want to get married."

Lin Wenqing didn't take Lu Changqing's words seriously, "I just thought you were talking nonsense again."

Lu Changqing decided to take action. "I plan to talk to my father about entering the palace tomorrow after he returns from the government office."

"Are you serious?"

"of course it's true."

"Don't mess around!" Lin Wenqing was really angry. "Look at the dignitaries in the capital. Who would send their daughters to the palace to serve others? Do you really want to be an old maid for the rest of your life?"

"It's better to be an old maid in the palace than to stay in this small house in the backyard."

Lin Wenqing was furious. "Do you think the palace is very big? The red walls and high tiles look magnificent, but when you look up, you can only see a square sky."

"So what? At least I can stand higher than this backyard."

"A higher place?" Lin Wenqing sneered, "She doesn't want to be a legitimate wife, but insists on being a talentless one. No matter how high her talent is, how high can she go?"

Lu Changqing cursed: "No matter how low it is, it's still higher than that piece of shit you mentioned."

Lin Wenqing said angrily: "What's your attitude? I'm your mother, and you talk to me like this?"

"Mother, let me ask you, do you think the mistress, the head wife, is happy?"

Lin Wenqing answered without thinking: "Of course I am happy. There are so many people serving in the mansion. She can be rude to anyone except the master. How can she not be happy in such a life?"

"Stop lying. If she is really happy now, she won't regard you as a thorn in her side."

Lin Wenqing straightened the hair that fell on her temples and said in an unnatural tone: "That's because she is not generous enough."

"Maybe, but mother, I am not a generous person, so I don't want to be the second mistress, nor do I want to be the second you."

Lin Wenqing slowly raised her eyes and looked at Lu Changqing in astonishment: "Do you despise me for being someone's concubine?"

Lu Changqing shook his head, "Mom, I have never disliked you, but I don't want to be like you, trapped in the backyard for your whole life, working like a cow or a horse for a man, competing with other women for that man's love, and I don't want to harm other women in the backyard for the little power that a man has slipped through his fingers."

"Fight? I'm a concubine. If I didn't fight for favor, would I be able to live the good life I have now?"

"I don't want to discuss who is right or wrong between you and the mistress. I just don't want to follow your old path and be trapped in this unfair marriage trap like you."

Lin Wenqing put one hand on his chest and pointed in the direction of the door with the other hand. Without even looking at Lu Changqing, he started to chase people away. "You go out first. I want to be alone."

Lu Changqing said yes, and then advised: "Mom, don't be too angry with your daughter. Your health is the most important thing."

Lin Wenqing waved at Lu Changqing and told her to leave quickly.

Seeing this, Lu Changqing decided not to stay and get in the way. He turned around and left, leaving Lin Wenqing alone in the room sulking.
