Chapter 200 Cheng Yao's Dilemma

"What, mother has arranged a marriage for me?"

Sitting on the rose chair, Mrs. Han drank tea slowly, glanced at Cheng Yao, and suddenly felt that the tea was very fragrant, so she said with a smile, "I don't want to take credit for this marriage. It was chosen by your father. He Going out early and returning late these few days is to handle this matter for you."

Seeing Cheng Yao's gradually pale face, Han coughed lightly: "Yao'er, I know this matter is a bit sudden to you, but you are also sixteen this year, and the marriage cannot be delayed any longer. So although your father recently Your health is not good, so I still run around for you. This marriage is the best, you have always been filial, why don't you cook some soup to honor your father."

Seeing Cheng Yao's silence, she couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "Yaoer?"

Only then did Cheng Yao regain her senses, she shook her lips and said, "Daughter understands, thank you...Mother..."

Mrs. Han waved her hand: "You go ahead, I'm going to visit your third sister, she is having a fever."

"The daughter has resigned." Cheng Yao staggered and nearly tripped when she left the gate of Yiran Garden.

Qiaorong hurriedly supported her: "Girl?"

"Go away!" The flustered Cheng Yao pushed Qiaorong away, her face was as pale as paper, and she walked quickly.

"Girl—" Qiaorong hurriedly chased after her.

Cheng Yao went straight to Master Cheng Er's study.

"Father, are you there?"

There was some movement in the study, and after a while, the door opened, but it was Aunt Dong who opened the door.

Aunt Dong looked a little flustered: "The second girl is here."

Cheng Yao was startled, and vaguely understood why Aunt Dong appeared here.

And Aunt Dong was very upset.

The master didn't step into her room very much in the past few days. She sent someone to keep an eye out, and found out that the master would go to Han's place every day when he returned home. Although he didn't stay for a long time, it was not a good sign.It's rare that the master came back early today. She stewed the tonic and brought it over. She originally wanted to take the opportunity to warm it up so that the master could take care of her. But she didn't expect the second girl to come here at noon?

Cheng Yao, who is usually very caring and caring, can't care about Aunt Dong's mood at this time, so she forced a smile at her: "Aunt Dong, I have something to do with my father."

Aunt Dong suppressed her displeasure and said with a smile, "Second Miss, come in quickly."

She turned around and took the food box on the window sill, and said softly: "Master, since the second girl has something to do with you, I won't bother you."

Master Cheng Er has been busy with Cheng Yao's marriage these few days, the dust has finally settled today, and he is in a good mood. He just felt that it was difficult to be alone in the study for a few days, but he did not expect that Aunt Dong, the interpreter flower, would come here .

It's a pity that I only tasted a few lip balms before someone disturbed me.

The second master Cheng claimed to be a gentleman and scholar, he wanted face. When his daughter found out that an aunt came over at noon, he was already a little displeased, so he said in a deep voice, "Go ahead."

Then he looked at Cheng Yao: "Yaoer, what do you want to do with your father?"

After Aunt Dong left, Cheng Yao said: "Father, mother said, have you already arranged a marriage for your daughter?"

Mentioning this, Master Cheng Er was quite complacent: "Not bad."

"Father, my daughter doesn't want to marry!" Cheng Yao suddenly knelt down with a plop.

Master Cheng Er was taken aback: "Yao'er, what do you mean?"

Cheng Yao's heart was already in chaos.

She always thought that she could control everything, until then she suddenly realized that her marriage, no matter how she tried to do it every step of the way, could be settled so quietly without her knowing.

How could she marry the son of the magistrate!
She doesn't even want to commit herself to Duke Wei's son!

Cheng Yao was a little confused for a while, facing Master Cheng's questioning, she could only find an excuse hastily: "Father, Yao'er, Yao'er has never thought of leaving the capital, as long as she thinks of going to a place she has never been to , just get flustered."

Master Cheng Er smiled: "You are really childish! I always thought that you were the most stable among the daughters, but now I know that you are still a little girl. Yaoer, don't worry, Lingguang County is not far from the capital. It is far away, and your future husband is already a man. I have inquired in the past few days. He is likely to be in high school this time. When he enters the officialdom, you will also be an official wife. Such a blessing is not for everyone. Every concubine can have it."

Hearing the last sentence, Cheng Yao felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she had been pricked by a needle.

It turns out that no matter how she shines, in the eyes of her father, she is just a humble concubine daughter, and it is time for her to marry a son of the county magistrate who has a reputation for raising people!
The Second Master Cheng thought that Cheng Yao was shy from a girl's family, so he continued to exhort: "Yao'er, I heard that you always go to that Jisheng Hall these two days. Now that your marriage is settled, you should stay away from going out and stay in the house. Embroidering the dowry at home is a serious matter, don’t imitate your third sister, you’re playing wild. Well, my father is also a little tired, so you can step back.”

"Yes, then Yao'er is leaving." Cheng Yao walked out as if she had lost her soul, and the breeze was blowing on her face, she couldn't help but shivered, and she was a little sober.

By the way, there is also grandma, these days she takes care of grandma in every possible way, maybe grandma will say a few words for her!

Cheng Yao seemed to be grabbing at straws, and ran straight to Nian Songtang with her skirts in her hands.

Qiaorong ran after her, panting.

"Why is Yaoer here now?"

According to the usual practice, Cheng Yao would come over in the evening to say hello, and then stay in Nian Songtang for the night, and return to Suiyuju the next day.

"Grandmother, Yao'er heard from her mother that she has already settled the marriage for me, do you know?"

Mrs. Meng smiled: "It turns out that this is the case. No wonder you are so surprised. Grandma only found out today."

"Grandmother, Yao'er doesn't want to marry, Yao'er wants to always serve you and be by your side!"

Mrs. Meng shook her head: "What are you talking about, there is no reason for the girl's family to never marry."

Cheng Yao bit her lip, suddenly feeling a little discouraged, but struggling for the last time: "Grandmother, is this marriage a little too urgent? Although Yao'er's marriage is decided by the mother, but...but you only found out today... "

Her last sentence was quite provocative.

With the usual relationship between Mrs. Meng and the Han family, it is almost inevitable that Mrs. Meng will be angry when she hears this.

But maybe God was jealous when she saw that she got the panacea today so smoothly, so she heard Mrs. Meng say: "This marriage was decided in a hurry, but since it was chosen by your father, it must be very good. Yao'er, you just need to get married at ease. I heard from your father that your fiancé is only in his early twenties this year, and this time Chun Wei is likely to be in high school. Such a young talent is one in a million."

The last glimmer of hope in Cheng Yao's heart fell to nothing.

She barely maintained her composure and left Nian Song Hall, leaning against the wall, wishing she could slap herself hard.

She has lived in vain for so long, but she doesn't know that there is such a big difference between her positioning and others!

No, she can't sit still!

"Girl, where are you going?"
