  Chapter 131 Do not accept fate

  The old lady is happy to see Mrs. Gu Changbo choose Duan Yunling among her two granddaughters.

  Duan Yunhua is the only pro-daughter of the Dafang family, but she was the first to let it go when Mrs. Qiao was divorced. Don't think that the second granddaughter hated her as a grandmother in her heart.

  Although it is said that a married girl cannot do without her natal family as her confidence, even if the second granddaughter has resentment in her heart, it is impossible to kick the Shaoqing Mansion away, otherwise it will be the in-laws who laugh at her first, but after all, it is not as soft and easy to handle as the third granddaughter.

  This appointment is scheduled for three days.

  The old lady quickly ordered her maid Yuzhu to invite Duan Yunling.

  Duan Yunling's heart sank when the maid reported that sister Yuzhu from Ruyi Hall had arrived.

  After the "chance encounter" in Qingfengguan, since the elders on both sides intend to get married, Guchangbo Mansion will soon select a person between her and the second sister. It is undoubtedly a bad omen that Yuzhu, the eldest maid in the grandmother's courtyard, came suddenly.

   At least it is a bad omen for her who does not want to marry a dude like Dazzle.

how could be? Obviously that day she looked dull and dull.

  Duan Yunling couldn't figure it out, and followed Yuzhu on the way to Ruyi Hall and asked: "Sister Yuzhu, does grandma only let me go?"

  There is no fool who can be a maid, Yuzhu smiled and said: "The old lady asked the maid to invite the third girl. As for whether she sent someone else to invite the second girl, the maid doesn't know."

  Duan Yunling nodded, and walked into Ruyi Hall with a little luck.

   Xu is that Mrs. Gu Changbo has not made up her mind. If she wants to see her and the second sister again, there is still a chance to change.

  When Duan Yunling saw the old lady's warm smile, her heart turned cold.

   "Linger, sit down." Beckoning Duan Yunling to sit beside her, the old lady signaled all the waiters in the room to step back.

  Duan Yunling lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, her heart raised to her throat.

"Yesterday I ran into Mrs. Gu Changbo at Qingfeng Temple. Mrs. Gu Changbo liked you very much and wanted to marry you for her son. Grandmother thought that you have reached the age to talk about marriage. This is a good marriage. What do you think?"

   really chose her!

  Duan Yunling only felt that his heart was hit by a heavy hammer, and his face turned pale instantly.

   "Linger?" Seeing the change in Duan Yunling's face, the old lady's voice became a little colder.

  This girl is unwilling?

   This situation was something the old lady never expected, and even found it incredible.

  That was Guchangbo’s mansion, and the one who married was still the heir.

  That is to say, Guchangbo’s son is not good enough, and on the day of Chongyang, she deliberately showed her face in front of Guchangbo and his wife, otherwise, even if Guchangbo’s mansion wanted to bow down and marry a wife, they would not have thought of their Shaoqing’s mansion.

  Duan Yunling came back to his senses, clenched his fists hard to calm himself down.

   "Grandmother, the granddaughter is still young, and there are two older sisters in front—"

   "You don't need to worry about these." The old lady interrupted Duan Yunling lightly.

   After clarifying Duan Yunling's thoughts, the old lady's attitude became tough: "Ling'er, you have to know that getting married is a matter between two families. There are countless benefits to being married to Guchangbo Mansion in our family and you."

  If it was Duan Yunling from before, the old lady would just accept it silently no matter how reluctant she was. But when she thought of what Xin You had done and said, she was not willing to accept her fate like this.

   "Grandmother, the son of Uncle Guchang is not a good man, and my granddaughter only wants to marry a man of similar appearance, even if he comes from an ordinary background..."

  The old lady sneered: "Naive!"

  Duan Yunling's courage was shattered by these two cold words.

"The son of Uncle Guchang is not a fake, but he is the only heir of Uncle Guchang's mansion. As long as you marry him, the entire Uncle Gu's mansion will belong to your son in the future. You are Mrs. Uncle Guchang's fancy, as long as Uncle Guchang Madam, please coax me well, when I am young, my mother-in-law will take care of me, when I am old, my sons and daughters will be filial, and I will not be able to enjoy the wealth and glory in my life, so what does it matter if a man is not worthwhile?"

   This is not right!

  Duan Yunling's mind was buzzing, and there were countless words to refute, but he couldn't utter a single word.

  She clearly realized that a little girl without the protection of her parents could not resist her grandmother's decision.

  Will the father object to the marriage for her?

   No, I'm afraid my father would be happier than my grandmother.

Taking a glance at the dull-looking granddaughter, the old lady said softly, "You think a man of ordinary background is fine? Silly girl, when you get married, you will find that there is not much difference between men, and those who are invisible and intangible in character, It is the most false to say that you will change.”

  Duan Yunling's lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

   "Okay, go back to your room. Don't think about it for two days, and go out with grandma in three days."

  Duan Yunling returned to the residence in a daze, and Yuzhu came again not long after.

   "Third Miss, the old lady ordered the maid to bring you jewelry."

  Duan Yunling's eyelashes trembled, without looking at the box in Yuzhu's hand, he said dumbly, "Put it down."

  Yuzhu put down the box, glanced at the distraught third girl, suppressed her curiosity and left.

  Only Duan Yunling and the maid Xueying were left in the room.

   "Girl, do you want to open it?"

   "Put it away!" Duan Yunling yelled fiercely, meeting the maid's surprised eyes, and tears welled up in her eyes.

  Xueying put away the jewelry box, and stood beside Duan Yunling silently.

  Duan Yunling sat blankly, tears streaming down her face.

  She has always known that she cannot be the master of marriage. In the past, it was her aunt who controlled her fate, and later her grandmother.

  When she thinks about it, it doesn’t matter if she finds a family of the right family, or a family with a lower family background, as long as she is a serious person who has lived a long life, instead of marrying a dude who can flirt with women on the street.

  Cousin Qing said that courage is one of the most precious qualities. She thought it was useless to be brave before, but seeing what Cousin Qing did with her own eyes, she thought it was useful.

  But now, she felt useless again.

  She is a little concubine who relies on the protection of her family to survive. What can she change if she has the courage?

  But still not reconciled.

  Teardrops slapped on the back of his hands and clothes like broken beads. For Duan Yunling, what he cried out was the confidence he had built up these days and his despair for the future.

  She thought of what she said to her cousin on Chongyang Day.

  If she really wants to marry someone like Guchang Bo Shizi, she is willing to die!

   Could it be that death is the only choice she can choose?

   Duan Yunling lowered his head and looked at his hands.

  The young girl's hands are white and soft, and have nothing to do with strength.

  She used these hands to kill herself, does that mean she has taken the initiative?

   No, she was forced to die, she didn't want to die at all!

   "Xueying." Duan Yunling bit her lip hard, calling for the maid.

   "The servant girl is here. Tell me, girl."

   "What day is tomorrow?"

   "If you go back to the girl, tomorrow is the tenth day of the lunar new year."

  "The tenth day—" Duan Yunling's hollow eyes lighted up, "Cousin Qing will come back on the tenth day?"

   "Yes, Cousin will be back."

   "That's good, that's good..." Duan Yunling murmured, and the people around her were hard to hear in a low voice.

  Is it brave to ask for help from someone you trust?

Good morning
