When we came out of Fang Mansion, it was completely dark.
Xie Mingxi was sitting on the Lin family's carriage, which was moving forward smoothly.
Lin Weiwei stared at Xie Mingxi's face, with a posture of "I won't give up until you tell the truth."
However, Xie Mingxi has a dark heart and a thick face, and is calm and composed under Lin Weiwei's gaze: "Why are you looking at me all the time? Is there a flower on my face?"
Lin Weiwei was furious: "Hey, what on earth are you and Sister Fang doing? It's too much to keep only me in the dark!"
The three of them all have a good relationship. However, Lin Weiwei is closer to Xie Mingxi, and better to Fang Ruomeng. When she thinks of her two best friends plotting behind her back, Lin Weiwei becomes awkward.
Xie Mingxi refused to say anything: "I told you that you will know after some time. If you ask now, I can't tell you."
It concerns the Fang and Li families, and it is Fang Ruomeng's privacy, so it's better not to talk about it.
Lin Weiwei had no choice but to give up.
…
A month later, news of the engagement between the Fang and Li families reached everyone's ears.
Lin Weiwei was stunned. It took him a long time to find his voice: "Oh my God! Li Mo and Fang Ruomeng... how could they get engaged?"
Xie Mingxi: "..."
The complexity and subtlety of Xie Mingxi's expression is even more difficult to describe.
What's going on with all this?
Fang Ruomeng was so determined to avoid this marriage that she even took medicine and became seriously ill. Why did this marriage still fall on her?
The other girls were also shocked when they heard the news.
Li Mo is Li Xiangru's brother, and all the girls have met him before. The deepest impression of him is that he is obsessed with the "Sixth Princess"...
"Actually, for my sister, this is an excellent marriage." Qin Sihun was the first to open her mouth to break the silence, with a hint of envy in her tone.
Qin Sihun also got married six months ago, and her future husband's family is also a well-known family in the capital. However, it is not as good as the Li family.
There was also sourness in Yan Zhenzhen's tone: "Sister Fang is a concubine, so she is really lucky to marry the eldest grandson of the Li family."
Isn't it?
From this point of view, this is undoubtedly an enviable and excellent marriage!
Sheng Jinyue pursed her lips, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Xie Mingxi recovered from the shock and twitched the corners of her lips: "It's a pity that Sister Fang has not recovered yet and cannot come to the academy. Otherwise, we would have to congratulate her."
Lin Weiwei gave her an unclear look.
After lunch, Lin Weiwei pulled Xie Mingxi to her dormitory and asked: "Sister Xie, you should tell the truth now! What is going on with Sister Fang's illness? Why do I feel something fishy about this marriage?"
?”
Now, there is nothing to hide.
Xie Mingxi told the whole story in detail, and at the end, she smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect that she would be the one to marry Li Mo in the end."
Lin Weiwei's face was full of astonishment, and she opened her eyes wide. After a long time, she exhaled: "Something must have happened in this."
What is going on?
…
Fang Ruomeng was determined to avoid this marriage. After taking the medicine, her stomach and intestines became unbalanced and she couldn't eat. She could only lie in bed to recuperate.
On the day of offering incense, Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Zhang happily went to the temple to offer incense with their daughters, who were dressed up beautifully. On the way, they "encountered" Mrs. Li and her son who were offering incense together, and they naturally walked together.
As a result, Fang Ruomei and Fang Ruolan all made a fool of themselves that day.
When Fang Ruolan was getting off the sedan chair, she was "accidentally" tripped by a servant and fell down. In front of the public, she became disgraced and had tears in her eyes.
Fang Ruomei, who was so complacent, did not get a favor either. When she knelt down and kowtowed in front of the Buddha statue, she was choked by the incense ashes floating out from nowhere and coughed repeatedly. Her demeanor was completely lost.
Both Luo and Zhang hated each other for secretly stumbling upon each other and taunting each other in front of Mrs. Li. Fang Ruomei and Fang Ruolan also stared at each other hatefully like black-eyed chickens.
Not to mention Li Mo, not even Mrs. Li can stand it.
No wonder Mr. Fang Ge likes the concubine Fang Ruomeng the most. The two legitimate daughters of the Fang family are really shallow and cannot be put on the stage.
After Mrs. Li returned home, she asked Li Mo what he thought. Li Mo was also very grateful to the two legitimate daughters of the Fang family, and said without thinking: "I would like to marry Fang Ruomeng."
Fang Ruomeng was Li Xiangru's classmate and had been to Li's house several times. Li Mo had some vague impressions, only remembering that she was a girl with delicate features and a gentle temperament. Li Xiangru also mentioned Fang Ruomeng in the past, and there was nothing wrong with it.
place.
Therefore, the marriage fell on Fang Ruomeng, who was recovering from illness in the mansion.
Fang Ruomeng wholeheartedly thought that she had escaped the incident by recuperating, so she happily hid in her boudoir, listening to the news about the quarrel between the eldest and the second housemate in the house to relieve her boredom. She secretly snickered several times.
Fang Ruomeng was gloating about the misfortune, wondering which pile of cow dung Li Mo's flower would fall on Fang Ruomei and Fang Ruolan, so Mr. Fang happily came to report the good news in person.
Fang Ruomeng was "surprised" and his eyes went dark on the spot, and he almost fainted.
When she came back to her senses, her mother, with red eyes and full of joy, hugged her into her arms and cried in her ear: "Ruomeng, if you can marry into the Li family and become the eldest daughter-in-law, if you close your eyes immediately, you won't be able to marry her."
I don’t have any complaints or regrets.”
Her mother's tears of joy pushed back all Fang Ruomeng's unwillingness.
It was her luck and blessing that this marriage fell on her. Li Mo was not unworthy of her in the slightest, it was she who was the legitimate grandson of the Li family.
The marriage has been decided and the engagement contract has been established. No matter how reluctant she is, she has no ability to break off the engagement.
…
Fang Ruomeng wrote a letter in person and told Xie Mingxi the whole story: "...the marriage has been decided. The wedding date will be next spring."
"Thank you sister, maybe this is my fate. I don't have to admit it even if I don't want to."
"I don't have the courage to resist my grandfather's wishes, and I can't bear to see my mother disappointed and sad."
"Fortunately, I don't have anyone I really like. Apart from the regret that people are not as good as God, I am not particularly sad. If I don't marry Li Mo, I may have to marry someone I have never met before. This way
Come to think of it, there's nothing wrong with marrying Li Mo."
"Although I don't like him, I don't hate him either."
"The marriage has been decided, and there is no need for me to lie down and recuperate. I have secretly taken the antidote you gave me, and I should be fine in a few days. I will meet with you to discuss it in detail when I get to the academy.
"
This letter has five thick pages in total.
Xie Mingxi read it twice before putting the letter down. She couldn't help but sigh.
Man’s calculation is not as good as God’s calculation!
Fang Ruomeng's struggle and resistance actually led to this marriage. She became the "winner" in the "competition between snipe and clam". Now that I think about it, it seems like fate. (To be continued)
