She didn't even think about whether people would look down on someone like her elder sister.
In Lin Qiuzhi's opinion, the Champion Marquis would come to cancel the engagement sooner or later, and her elder sister would become the laughing stock of the whole capital.
At this time, the fourth sister Lin Yizi also quickly knelt in front of her grandmother, without arguing at all, appearing very well-behaved.
The eldest sister has been blaming herself for letting her face the conspiracy alone!
However, as soon as Lin Yizi knelt down, she heard Lord Lin roar loudly, which frightened her so much that she almost fell down.
"You bastard, how can you talk to your grandmother? What about the filial piety I taught you? Have you forgotten it
You are grounded for a month and are not allowed to go out. "
Lin Yizhi quickly pleaded for her sister, "Dad, don't be angry. We didn't do it on purpose at that time."
"Shut up!"
Lord Lin glared at his fourth daughter, then reached out and patted the old lady on the back to calm her down, looking extremely filial.
"Mom, don't be angry. The little girl was just playing around for a while. Let's just forget about it."
While saying this, he also winked at Wang.
Wang understood and quickly pulled Lin Qiuzhi, "Hurry up and admit your mistake to the old lady."
Of course, Lin Qiuzhi also realized that she had spoken too harshly and that she was no match for the powerful. She was a smart woman who knew how to judge the situation, so she quickly apologized.
"Grandma, I'm sorry, it was unintentional, please forgive me!
From now on, I never dare to ask my elder sister to go out and play together.
It’s not advisable for my eldest sister to move around too much because she’s ill. It’s my granddaughter’s fault.”
When Lin Qiuzhi admitted her mistake, she mentioned her elder sister's shortcomings again. If it were the real Lin Xuezhi, she would probably be sad again.
"Grandma, please don't be angry. My second and fourth sisters have no intention of separating from me. Please don't blame them.
In fact, someone forcibly separated us." Bai Chen also knelt in front of his grandmother, hugged her legs, and pressed a few acupuncture points to relieve her blood pressure.
To others, it seemed as if Bai Chen was being affectionate and coquettish towards his grandmother.
Therefore, Bai Chen's actions made both Mrs. Wang and the second sister very unhappy.
"Who wants to separate you sisters? Is it really the girl from the Han family who wants to harm you? How dare the Han family offend the Lin family?" Lord Lin said angrily.
Although he didn't pay much attention to his eldest daughter, he would never tolerate anyone bullying his daughter. It was a matter of face.
So, when he heard Bai Chen say this, he was really angry, not just pretending.
Bai Chen nodded, holding back the tears that were about to fall, looking very aggrieved and sad, and continued to tell the story slowly.
"Grandma, Dad, Mother, now, all the girls in the capital are jealous of me!
They all said that Guanjun Hou was a rare handsome man in the world and a hero to all the people of Dafeng.
They say that someone like me is not worthy of being the champion, and that any girl is better than me.
Especially Miss Xiao, she was always bullying me from morning to afternoon, and she never stopped talking, as if she was a perfect match.
I have been patient all along, just trying not to cause conflicts with others and affect the family's reputation."
Then, Bai Chen corrected Lin Xuezhi's reputation as a mediocre person, saying shamelessly:
"To be honest, I think I'm not bad looking! In terms of talent, I'm good at everything, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting. In terms of family background, my father is a marquis, so I'm not inferior to him.
The only shortcoming is that I am not strong enough, but the doctor said that there is nothing wrong with my body, I am just a little weak, so why am I not worthy of the title of Champion?"
Before Bai Chen finished speaking, Lin Qiuzi started rolling her eyes.
When did my elder sister learn to brag about herself? Is it just that her body is not strong enough? It should be very poor!
But at this time, she didn't dare to stab her. After all, there is an order of seniority, and as a younger sister, she should not disrespect her elder sister in public in the hall.
Then, Bai Chen continued, "But ever since I got engaged to Guanjun Hou, they all said that I was not worthy of him.
They all said that I was boring, dull, extremely stupid, and had no talent or looks. They felt that the champion and I were like flowers and cow dung.
Because of this, I really don’t want to go out and be laughed at by others.”
The whole family listened quietly. Of course, they knew about the rumor. To be honest, except for the old lady, everyone else felt that Lin Xuezhi was not worthy of the title of Champion Marquis.
This is a fact, the physical condition alone is a fatal flaw.
But it’s not as exaggerated as it is said to be.
Lord Lin very pertinently felt that the eldest daughter was quite good-looking and was a carbon copy of her mother.
But her personality is a little too gloomy. She can sit for half a day without moving, and go for several days without saying a word.
Such traits may seem boring and dull in the eyes of some people.
But in fact, the eldest daughter is also very talented. She has beautiful handwriting and a better understanding of piano skills than other children.
He is also a good chess player. Once, when his eldest daughter was only six years old, he played chess with him and he actually lost.
He is even better at painting.
If the eldest daughter is in good health, she might be better than the second daughter.
There would be no problem even if she married the prince.
Thinking of this, when Lord Lin looked at his eldest daughter, a rare flash of fatherly love appeared in his eyes, but it was only a little bit, almost negligible.
Bai Chen paused for a moment and then said, "Well, the one with the most active mind is Miss Han.
Since I got engaged to Guan Jun Hou, Miss Han has held five parties in total. It was then that I realized that she actually wanted to deal with me at the parties.
I didn’t attend the first three times, and I actually didn’t want to attend the fourth time, but I couldn’t resist my second sister’s persuasion. I thought I couldn’t offend my second sister, so I went.
That time, Han Yanqiu actually planned to attack me. I found that there was something wrong with my tea, so at that party, I didn't dare to drink a drop of water even though my throat was smoking.
But that time, I actually didn’t know who wanted to deal with me.
I didn't want to go to today's flower show, but I went anyway. I thought my second sister was kind-hearted and I couldn't but give her face.
She seems to have a very good relationship with Miss Han, and their friendship cannot be ruined because of me."
"Lin Xuezhi, who did you say has a good relationship with Miss Han? What do you mean?" As soon as Bai Chen finished speaking, Lin Qiuzhi couldn't control her emotions again.
She was originally kneeling, but she stood up on her own.
She was originally a very steady person, but today she couldn't control her emotions for the second time.
If the eldest sister said this, grandmother and father would definitely suspect her, and she could not afford the consequences.
I didn't expect that my elder sister, who usually couldn't say a word for a long time, would speak so bluntly.
Every sentence is a complaint.
Lord Lin was furious again and shouted, "Kneel down and listen to your sister finish her words."
At this moment, Lord Lin did not look at his second daughter as favorably as before.
How come the second daughter, who has always been gentle, is even more irritable than the fourth daughter today
In fact, he didn't understand that Lin Qiuzi had been feeling uneasy because of Bai Chen's questioning in the afternoon!
Lord Lin's roar startled Lin Qiuzi so much that she trembled violently, looked frightened, and knelt down.
Han Yanqiu was spying on her brother-in-law, how could she not understand
Han Yanqiu repeatedly invited her elder sister, who didn't like crowds, to the party, and she could guess what she wanted to do.
Deep down in her heart, she even hoped that Han Yanqiu's scheme against her elder sister would succeed. In this way, she might be betrothed to the Marquis of Guanjun by her father.
That's why she spared no effort to persuade her elder sister to go. This was her true thought.
