Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 465 Proposal 2

"Mom, this is my parents' order and the matchmaker's words. I will follow your arrangements!"

Lotus said softly, with a hint of shyness on her face.

She slowly lowered her head and her eyes fell on the embroidered shoes on her feet, as if the exquisite embroidery could cover up her inner uneasiness.

This pair of embroidered shoes was made by Pang Sao. A pair of mandarin ducks were embroidered on the uppers. They were playing in the water, and their feathers were lifelike.

Aunt Wang was not reassured by Lianhua's answer.

She looked at her daughter, her eyes full of worry, and continued to ask earnestly:

"My child, tell me the truth, is it because our family is poor and you are in this situation that you chose the iron hammer?

"Mom can't let you down! Your happiness is Mom and Dad's greatest wish!"

The wind outside was howling, rustling the windows.

In the past, in such weather, Aunt Wang’s house would definitely be as cold as an ice cellar.

But now, everything is different.

Tiechui carefully replaced the windows for the Wang family and brought a lot of charcoal, making the whole house warm as spring.

He even had someone repair the leaking roof and made it perfect.

How could Lianhua not know Aunt Wang's thoughts? She was afraid that she would suffer a loss, so she had to stand up, snuggle up to Aunt Wang, and said slowly:

"Mom, how could I lie to you? Marriage is such a big deal, how can it be treated as a joke?

What's more, Brother Tiechui and I are in agreement!

A good woman will never marry a second husband, so I gave my body to him, and it will be my lifelong support!"

Aunt Wang's tears suddenly fell. God is really merciful. Their family must have accumulated so much blessings to have Lotus!

She held Lotus's hand and murmured:

"My dear child, I am afraid that you will regret it if you think about the past in the future.

Not to mention that there is no one like you in the surrounding villages, even the empress in the palace is no better than you!"

The two talked for a few words, and Aunt Wang thought that maybe she was too suspicious. Seeing that Lianhua was determined to marry Tiechui, she glanced at Old Man Wang again and went to bed with peace of mind.

Lotus was about to go to sleep when she vaguely heard a slight sound coming from outside the door.

Her heart moved, and an inexplicable feeling rose in her heart, so she hurriedly got up and walked quickly to the door.

When she opened the door, the cold night wind blew in her face, making Lianhua shiver.

The night was clear and a silver crescent moon hung on the distant mountain, casting a faint glow over the whole world.

In the moonlight, Lianhua saw a figure standing outside the door. It was Tiechui.

He was tall and his silly look made him look a little clumsy in the moonlight.

Through the fence gate, Tiechui saw Lianhua coming out and a simple smile appeared on his face.

Lotus's heartbeat suddenly quickened. Without even thinking about it, she subconsciously reached out to push the door open and walked out quickly.

However, in her haste, she bumped into Tiechui's arms.

Tiechui seemed startled by the sudden impact, but he reacted quickly and hugged Lianhua tightly with both hands.

This hug caught Lotus off guard. Her body trembled slightly as she felt the warmth of the hammer.

In the quiet night, the two did not say a word, but just hugged each other quietly.

The moonlight fell on them, as if covering them with a layer of silver gauze.

The strong wind also stopped, and time seemed to stand still at this moment, with only the sounds of each other's breathing and heartbeats intertwined.

Tiechui looked at Lianhua tenderly and said softly:

"Sister, I'm not good at speaking sweet words.

This is the twenty taels of silver I secretly saved up, I'll give it all to you!"

As he spoke, Tiechui stuffed an exquisite purse into Lianhua's hand. Inside the purse was the twenty taels of silver.

Lotus looked at the purse in her hand and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

During this period of time, Brother Tiechui bought charcoal for them to keep warm and bought medicine for his father's treatment, spending a lot of money.

Now, he actually gave himself so much money. How would he and Fatty live in the future?

Thinking of this, Lianhua quickly shook her head and resolutely refused to accept the twenty taels of silver. She pushed the purse back in front of Tiechui and said with a smile:

"Brother Tiechui, you've been very good to our family. I can't take this money!"

But the hammer refused to be taken back.

He held Lotus's hand tightly and said earnestly:

"Sister, please don't be so polite to me. You must accept this money, otherwise I will feel guilty."

Seeing Tiechui's persistence, Lianhua felt helpless.

She insisted on stuffing the purse back into Tiechui's hand. At this moment, Tiechui suddenly seemed to be enraged, and suddenly shook her hand away and shouted loudly:

"What are you doing?

I give you money because I hope you can live a better life, buy some beautiful clothes and eat good food.

Other people's wives all wear gold and silver, but my sister Lotus looks like a fairy, so isn't she worthy of all that?"

The roar of the hammer echoed in the air, and Lotus was stunned for a moment. She stared at the hammer blankly, tears pouring down her face like a flood.

Those are tears of happiness!

Lotus never thought that she was so important in Tiechui's heart.

She was so moved that she didn't know what to do. She could only throw herself into Tiechui's arms and cry uncontrollably.

Suddenly, the scene of the old man defiling her flashed by!

He tore off her shirt and kept teasing her. She shouted for help, but there was no one around!

If it weren’t for the hammer, if it weren’t for the hammer—the consequences would have been truly disastrous!

Fortunately, just when the old man was about to succeed, the hammer came over!

Even so, Lotus still felt scared when she thought of that scene!

She could no longer control her emotions and cried heart-wrenchingly, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances and pain.

Lianhua sobbed and cried, "Brother Tiechui, I'm not worthy of you!"

Tiechui didn't say anything, but just silently stroked her back with his hand. At this moment, he was like a peaceful harbor, no matter how stormy the outside world was, it was always safe here.

Fatigue and sleepiness came like a tide, and Lianhua could no longer hold on. She fell into a deep sleep in Tiechui's arms.

……

In the Prince of Beijing’s Mansion, inside Tingyu Pavilion.

Siyu sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, looking at her bulging belly over and over again. After applying jasmine powder on her face twice, she smiled with satisfaction.

She softly told the prince:

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Pagoda Temple outside the city is very effective. I want to ask for a fortune for my unborn child!

Besides, the eldest wife has not been found yet, so the maids' name tags should be changed!"

The prince was bored and flipping through the book on the table. He told Siyu impatiently:

"You're pregnant, it's so inconvenient, why are you running around everywhere?"

Siyu suddenly felt aggrieved. She gently stroked her belly and cried:

"Okay, my lord, do you dislike me?

Yes, I am lazy now because of my pregnancy and I don’t wear any makeup, so naturally I cannot compare to the beauty and charm of the lady!

Her child is a child, but mine is from my mother's family?"

Hearing this, the prince was naturally annoyed. Daiyu had also been pregnant before, and she was not as delicate as Siyu!

How had she changed since she became pregnant?

She used to be so considerate, but now she is always threatening others with her child. The prince is really fed up with it. He can only caress Siyu's belly reluctantly and agrees helplessly:

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll just do as you say, okay?

My little ancestor? Let's go to the Pagoda Temple to pray for blessings tomorrow, okay? "
