I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times

Chapter 221 Adopted as a concubine

Ling Chu was also curious as to why the sedan chair came to Ling's house.

No one in their family has a wife or a girl to get married, so how come a sedan chair suddenly appeared.

 Normally speaking, for such a big event as getting married, the person welcoming the bride cannot possibly go to the wrong door.

Seeing that the woman couldn't explain clearly, everyone couldn't help but be curious and wanted to go out to see what happened.

Even Ling Chu couldn't help but want to go and see which house was responsible for the trouble.

From the corner of her eye, she saw Ms. Dong still drinking tea with her eyes lowered. Lingchu frowned slightly. For some reason, she felt that her mother seemed too quiet today.

 Except for the first time when she asked if the marriage was cancelled, she replied, and she almost didn't say anything after that.

Moreover, everyone else was surprised when they heard the sedan chair, but she didn't seem to be surprised at all.

Ling Chu was puzzled when suddenly a high-pitched laughter came from the door of the flower hall, "Oh, everyone is waiting. It seems that I came just in time and did not miss the right time."

Everyone stared at the woman in front of them with curiosity, who was wearing new clothes, with big red flowers on her hair, heavy makeup, shaking her handkerchief, and smiling exaggeratedly.

With this outfit, you can tell she is a matchmaker at a glance.

Normally at times like this, the three daughters-in-law would rush to talk, but since the second wife became mute and the third wife broke her leg, these two have become quiet.

Mrs. Dong didn't say a word when she saw her today. She had to ask the matchmaker herself, "What do you call this sister-in-law? This is Ling Mansion. Have you gone to the wrong place?"

 Everyone here is almost waiting to see the matchmaker’s own joke.

But unexpectedly, the matchmaker's expression did not change at all, and she still had the same exaggerated smile, "Oh, Madam, judging from what you said, my sister-in-law has been an iceman for many years and has received countless kisses. How could such a joke happen?"

"But…"

As soon as Mrs. Tai opened her mouth with a frown, she was interrupted by the matchmaker, "Your residence is the former Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry's residence, right?"

If it were usual for the Madam to be interrupted, she would have turned cold. But this meeting was so unexpected that she couldn't even care about the matchmaker's rudeness.

Mrs. Tai frowned and said, "Sister-in-law Gao is right, but our family..."

Halfway through her words, the matchmaker clapped her palms together and once again interrupted the wife, "That's right. My sister-in-law cannot make a joke like going to the wrong place to meet the wrong bride."

Without waiting for the Madam to speak again, the matchmaker greeted the Madam and Ling Shangshu, saying, "Congratulations, Ling Shangshu, congratulations to the Madam..."

With a cold face, Ling Mao put the tea cup in his hand on the tea table next to him, and interrupted the matchmaker unceremoniously, "Where does happiness come from?"

Seeing his majestic look, the matchmaker smiled exaggeratedly, but quickly returned to normal.

If Ling Mao was still the Minister of Household Affairs, this matchmaker would naturally not dare to be presumptuous, but now he has lost his official status and is nothing more than a commoner.

This matchmaker has no fear in her heart.

 An exaggerated smile again.

 Ke Ling Shangshu has been an official for many years, but it is hard to see what she is thinking.

Before the matchmaker could speak, he asked with a cold face, "Tell me, since you didn't go the wrong way, why are you here today?"

“I am an iceman, and I came with a sedan chair to welcome the bride.” Although the matchmaker put away his exaggerated smile at Ling Mao’s cold eyes, he didn’t look at her with much respect.

Seeing that the matchmaker was not joking, Ling Mao frowned, "But in our Ling Mansion, no one has a wife or a wife, so what kind of marriage are you looking for?"

Before the matchmaker could speak, Ling Mao asked again, "Which family are you marrying for, and who are you marrying?"

The matchmaker shook her racket and returned to her exaggerated smile before, "Which family is naturally the Zhao family of Duke Zhao's mansion. As for the person I want to pick up today, who else can I pick up besides your eldest girl?"

As soon as the matchmaker said this, everyone's eyes widened in surprise.

Didn’t Mr. Dong cancel the marriage between Ling Chu and Duke Zhao yesterday?

Mrs. Tai was as surprised as everyone else. She even thought she heard wrongly, "Sister-in-law Gao, what did you just say? Are you here today to help the Duke of Zhao marry my eldest granddaughter?"

The matchmaker nodded exaggeratedly, "Madam, I am right, and you heard me right. I am indeed here for your eldest granddaughter." By the time she said the word, her face was as cold as ice.

 The tea cup in his hand was placed on the table, and he turned to face Mr. Dong, "Mother, didn't you say that the marriage at the Duke of Zhao's residence has been cancelled?"

Being questioned in front of so many people, Ms. Dong was uncharacteristically neither angry nor angry. She only said coldly, "When did I say I canceled the engagement?"

As soon as Mrs. Dong finished speaking, Mrs. Lingmao and Lingzong all stared at her.

Lingchu didn't wait for anyone else to speak, and sneered at Mr. Dong, "Do you really want me to marry Zhao Jingming and become the eldest concubine?"

“Oh, big girl, that’s wrong, that’s wrong. I didn’t come here today to marry you and become the princess.”

The people who were all glaring at Mr. Dong now turned to glare at the matchmaker.

What on earth is going on with this ice man? How come the preface and the follower are so inconsistent? Just now she said she was picking up a big girl, but now she says no.

Lingchu was also confused. Could it be that she had mistakenly blamed Dong?

 No, Mr. Dong just denied calling off the marriage.

 “I dare to ask sister-in-law Gao, what do you mean by this?”

Xu Xu met Zhao Guogong and his wife. The matchmaker considered herself meeting a noble person. Faced with Ling Mao's majesty, she didn't feel nervous at all.

 But for some reason, facing Miss Ling's dark eyes, she couldn't help but feel fear.

 She must have seen it wrong.

 She is just a little girl who has just grown hair, so how can she be afraid of her?

The matchmaker smiled with a smile on her face, "The Duke of Zhao is not marrying the crown prince today, but taking a concubine!"

As soon as these words were said, the second lady and the third lady did not say anything, but their eyes were full of gloating.

Ling Mao and Mrs. Tai's hearts sank, and they both glared at Mr. Dong.

 Ling Zong and the others had a look of astonishment on their faces.

Ling Chu ignored the others and stared at the matchmaker to confirm again, "You are here today to help Zhao Jingming, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao, accept me as his concubine, right?"

The matchmaker clapped her hands together and nodded, "That's right."

After Lingchu returned to Beijing, everyone in the Ling family knew that she had a bad temper.

 Everyone looked at her subconsciously.

 Everyone thought she would be angry.

To everyone's surprise, Ling Chu not only didn't get angry, she even smiled.

The woman guarding the door glanced at Ling Chu. Is this young girl going crazy with anger?

 She wanted to break off the engagement when she was asked to be the imperial concubine, but now she wants to take her as a concubine, but she is smiling happily?

 Seeing Ling Chu's smile, Ling Mao and his wife frowned more and more.

They didn’t think Ling Chu was happy, because although she was smiling, her smile didn’t reach her eyes.

Lingchu ignored everyone's thoughts, but smiled at the matchmaker and said, "Thank you for your trip today, please come back." Then he turned to the maid behind him and told the maid behind him, "Xia Zhi, see off the guests."
