suspicious

Although Zhang Yuju also felt that something was amiss, the black-clad men who came to collect debts had frightened him to the brink of collapse, and he couldn't think of any bad things that would happen to him if he married into the Lin family. After all, Zhang Yuju had been doing business in Loulan for so many years, so he certainly knew how rich the Lin family was. Besides, the Lin family had never been prosperous, and there was only one legitimate son, Lin Meisheng. If his daughter married him, she would be the mistress of the Lin family in the future, and she would enjoy endless wealth for the rest of her life. Why not?

The only thing that worried Zhang Yuju was that even he had never seen Lin Meisheng's appearance in all these years. But this time, he heard the two girls come back and talk about it. Since he was a very handsome man, he finally put his heart at ease.

But he didn't expect that everything that went smoothly would suddenly encounter setbacks three days before the wedding! The Lin family sent someone to say that they wanted a girl by name. In fact, according to the rules, since the Zhang family is marrying off their daughter, they must send a maid to accompany her. However, this maid has been decided to be Xuandie, but the Lin family specifically asked for Wanwan!

Zhang Yuju had a handle in the hands of others after all, and even though this request caught him off guard, he had no choice but to agree. He also thought that it was just a maid, and one more would not cost a few taels of silver, so he could just send it. But he didn't expect that this matter would be rejected by Zhang Menglian!

Zhang Menglian has always been a prominent lady, and she has long been accustomed to the flattery of the maids. But Wanwan always disagrees with her and always says things she doesn't like from time to time. So when she thought about bringing Wanwan into the Lin family, Zhang Menglian felt a little unhappy.

Seeing the young lady unhappy, Xuandie tried to reconcile her, "Miss, it's okay for Wanwan to go. The maids of the Lin family are definitely not as comfortable as our own family members. If there is any rough work, just let Wanwan do it."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Menglian raised her eyebrows and smiled in an unpredictable way, "I'm always afraid that there will be mistakes in this matter. Xuandie, think about it, why did the Lin family only want Wanwan by name?"

Xuandie shook her head, "I can't figure it out."

Zhang Menglian smiled, "Simple! Have you forgotten that it was Wanwan who met the son-in-law? When you came back, you also said that Wanwan met the son-in-law and came back very late, and her expression seemed quite flustered."

Xuandie nodded "Yes, I stood at the door of the main hall and looked out for a long time. I was really worried that she would come back late and miss the car."

Zhang Menglian squinted her eyes, "That's it! Maybe this little bitch saw the son-in-law and used some foxy tricks to make the son-in-law ask for her to marry in!" As she said that, Zhang Menglian glanced at Xuandie with the corner of her eye, "Anyone who marries into the son-in-law's house with the young lady will inevitably be taken in as a concubine in the future. This is the fate of the dowry girl. I just don't know if she deliberately kept this in mind!"

Xuandie's face turned red and white when she heard it. She knew that although the young lady was talking about Wanwan, she was actually using words to criticize her. Xuandie quickly shut up and dared not say anything more.

"Tsk tsk, sister Wanwan is so lucky. The young lady hasn't married yet, but the new son-in-law has specifically asked for you first!" Xuandie smiled and pinched Wanwan's waist while she was busy, making Wanwan smile bitterly.

She never thought that such a mistake would happen! After the news from the Lin family came, the young lady no longer even looked at her. Wanwan had to scramble to do more work, but was stopped by Zhang Menglian's words, "We don't know who will be the real bride yet, so we will marry together. Just go and do your own thing, why bother with me!"

Wanwan's tears kept rolling in her eyes. The young lady said as if she would marry as a concubine, but in fact she was just a maid who came with the dowry. She knew that the young lady must be suspicious, but she had no way to explain it. After all, only she and Lin Meisheng were present at the incident that day.

Wanwan felt wronged and surprised. She didn't know what Lin Meisheng was going to do! She just met him once. Did he blame her for being rude? But he, Lin Meisheng, was a grown man. He shouldn't be so petty!

Wanwan couldn't help but grab Xuandie's sleeve and asked, "Sister Xuan, do you think that disabled people are particularly petty?"

Xuandie was stunned by the question, "Who? Who is disabled?"

Wanwan suddenly realized that she almost let the cat out of the bag, and hurriedly stammered, "Ah... I, I remembered a distant relative from my hometown..."

Xuandie put her hands on her waist and thought carefully, "It stands to reason, oh, that's the case! Disabled people always feel that God treats them unfairly, so they will vent their resentment on normal people. However, they are also poor people, so even if they are a little petty, we should take care of them."

Wanwan was speechless after hearing these words. Yes, such a handsome man is disabled, how could she bear to blame him? The only way was to take advantage of the remaining three days to visit the new son-in-law and persuade him to take back his decision.

At noon, the hot weather in the desert made people take a nap. Wanwan finally found a time to leave the mansion. Lin Mansion and Zhang Mansion are separated by most of Loulan City. Wanwan was afraid of missing the time, so she didn't care about the big sun in the sky, and ran to Lin Mansion in small steps.

Before she could catch her breath, Wanwan smiled and said to the Lin family's doorman, "Big brother, I am a maid from the Zhang family. I have something important to ask to see the young master..."

The doorman raised his eyebrows and looked at Wanwan, "The young master has already given the order. I didn't even take a nap, but I just stood here to greet you! Come in quickly, why are you talking so much?"

Wanwan was stunned when she heard it. What does it mean? Did Lin Meisheng already expect her to come at this time? An ominous premonition slid down Wanwan's back like a ray of cold air. Wanwan almost couldn't breathe while stroking her chest.

The doorman didn't care about her, closed the door and went to sleep. Wanwan had to cover her heart and walked towards the yard where Lin Meisheng lived tremblingly.

Entering the small courtyard, the heat of the day seemed to fade away, and the only sound was the breeze blowing through the green ivy leaves on the wall. Wanwan stared at the bright purple door curtain, stunned for a moment, until Lin Meisheng's voice came through like last time, "Why, every time you come, you have to ask me to come in?"
