Chapter 935: Hearts in Harmony

hen they start preparing the fields for planting. They often check the thawing progress of the land.Song Dachuan has also been preparing for these things recently. Lian Yi wants to go to the back moun...Ripple frowned, but didn't argue with Madam Hou. She just sighed and said:

"Mother, this time I accidentally helped my younger sister out of a predicament. However, she's still going to marry into that family. It's best if she focuses on her health for now. As for what happened today, I'll keep it to myself."

After Ripple finished speaking, she got up and bowed respectfully before taking her leave.

Lady Hòu did not even leave a ripple, waving her hand to let her go back. Anyway, she didn't need her to show her face in the backyard now.

Liàn'yī brought Yáo gūnūn and two maids back to Bìlán Yuán, went straight to sleep for the afternoon, and left the rest to be discussed when Duōduō returned.

The spring banquet at the Marquis's mansion was a success. As the afternoon wore on, the young masters and ladies who had attended the event gradually left, and the entire mansion returned to its usual tranquility.

Madam Hou went to see her beloved youngest daughter.

Xue Lianyi had been feeling uneasy all day, and when her mother finally arrived, she immediately asked:

"Mother, has Elder Sister not been found out yet"

"Don't worry, she happened to meet Mrs. Lin and Lin Ya zu when she left. I gave her a hint, so she didn't reveal anything."

"She's gotten off easy! It's all my fault for not being strong enough. Otherwise, she wouldn't have met my fiancé."

Xue Lianyi twirled her handkerchief and said.

"Ripple, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your health. If your health improves in three months, then you won't need your big sister anymore. For now, your big sister still has to stay."

Lady Hou soothed her beloved youngest daughter.

"Mother, I understand your concern. These days I haven't missed a single dose of medicine, and I feel my body is getting better."

Xue Lianyi immediately said.

"That's good, take care of yourself and don't think too much, everything will be fine with Mother here."

Housekeeper Hou received the medicine bowl from the maid and spoon-fed her daughter. Watching her daughter finish drinking, she gave her a candied fruit and waited for her youngest to fall asleep before returning to her own quarters.

But on the other side, inside Bi Lan Garden, Lian Yi, who was meditating on the bed, suddenly opened her eyes and saw Duo Duo sneaking onto the bed. With quick reflexes, she grabbed Duo Duo, shook her playfully, and said in a huff:

"You're finally back."

"Hee hee, master, the garden was very lively today. I watched for a while."

What are you all looking at

"There are quite a few hotheads around, those little girls and boys all have eyes like sieves, constantly digging holes for others. They twist every word so much you can barely understand what they're saying."

Dodo swayed the flower tray and said.

"Is there any useful information"

The ripples asked directly.

"There really is. After you left Madam Hou's courtyard, that old woman went to see her beloved daughter and said that she would keep you for now until her daughter's health improves, then she would kick you out."

"Oh Is that so"

The ripples weren't at all surprised, they did this in their past lives.

"Don't worry, master. How could Doudou let them succeed I added some good stuff to the medicine I gave her."

Doudou said proudly.

"Don't kill anyone."

The ripples gently brushed the petals of the flowers and said.

"Master, Doudou will take care of it. You can rest assured. I only gave her a drop of '曇花一現' diluted a thousand times. As long as the Hou Mansion doesn't want to lose the Lin family as a marriage partner, you will always be Xue Lianyi."

Ripple heard what DuoDuo said, and smiled. She didn't expect DuoDuo to be so in tune with her thoughts. She had wanted to do that all along.

Isn't it because of the same face that she became a spare tire But if the original's sister lost her beautiful looks, she would like to see how the Countess tries to steal the phoenix.

"You're doing great, go rest for a bit! You don't need to go over there."

Ripple said generously.

Yes, master.

Immediately, the ripples continued to sink into cultivation. In three months, she still hadn't advanced to the first level of Qi Refining, mainly because her spiritual energy was too thin. However, she wasn't in a hurry.

After the Spring Banquet ended, the Hou Mansion poured all its energy into Xue Lianyi's marriage. The servants in the backyard were so busy that they ran around like headless chickens.

Mainly, Xue Lianyi's condition has worsened again. Not only has there been no improvement, but it has become more severe. Now, she is too weak to even get out of bed and relies on ginseng infusions every day just to stay alive.

A month before the wedding, Hou An Ding finally returned to the Marquis's mansion. Only then did Madam Hou feel like she had found her anchor. She went to Hou An Ding's study, drove everyone out, and then began to talk about her youngest daughter's illness.

"How could it be so serious You wrote to me before, saying that your daughter's condition was improving. How did it suddenly take a turn for the worse Did you use my name to ask the imperial physician at the palace"

The Marquis of Anning wore a python robe, his face stern and imposing. At this moment, his brow was furrowed into a deep crease, and he asked in a grave voice.

The previous Houfu did not tell the Duke of An Ding about this matter because although her youngest daughter's illness had not healed, it was not as critical as it is now.

This time, because of Ripple's intervention as a tasker, and adding to that Duo Duo's divine operation, Madam Hou felt she couldn't contain it anymore, so she had to choose to confess to Duke An Ding.

"My lord, as a mother, would I mistreat my daughter I gave her the best medicine, but somehow her condition worsened, and even the doctor couldn't find the cause."

Seeing that the engagement with the Lin family was imminent, I dared not go to the palace to seek an imperial physician. If the Lin family found out, they would definitely break off the engagement. This would be detrimental to the Hou Mansion, and I couldn't act without authorization.

After Mrs. Hou finished speaking, she wiped away the tears from the corner of her eyes.

Let's go see my daughter first.

The Marquis of Anping took his wife to their youngest daughter's courtyard. Seeing their daughter lying on the bed, weak and emaciated, his heart sank.

Xue Lianyi saw An Dinghou, a spark of excitement flashed in her eyes. She was helped up by a maidservant, but after only two sentences, she fainted.

When the imperial physician arrived, there was another flurry of activity as they managed to stabilize Xue Lianyi's condition.

Back in the study, An Dinghou rubbed his temples, and could only say helplessly:

"Well, I'll go to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow and explain everything clearly. Our two families are relatives, not enemies. Don't make things too complicated at that time, and don't bring bad luck to Lianyi."

"My lord, until the very last moment we cannot give up."

"The ripples have gone that way, I guess even a flower sedan can't go up, what can we do"

"My lord, I have a way."

Mrs. Hou gritted her teeth, but still decided to let her eldest daughter take her place as the bride.

Upon hearing his wife's words, the lord widened his eyes and pondered for a long time before saying:

"First, you should talk to your eldest daughter. I want to meet her before making a decision."

In the Duke of Ding'an's eyes, the prosperity of the Hou Mansion was paramount. As an abandoned daughter, being able to contribute to the Hou Mansion was her honor.

Hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Hou finally felt a stone lifted from her heart. All she cared about was that her husband didn't blame her for hiding the existence of their eldest daughter.

The next day, after Lianyi had eaten breakfast and gone to pay her respects, Madam Hou dismissed the servants. While wiping away her tears, she told Lianyi that her youngest daughter's condition had worsened.

"Mother, what can I do for my sister"

Ripple asked with a worried expression.

Madam Hou had been waiting for this very sentence and immediately said:

"Ripple, if you truly care for me, marry into the Lin family in your sister's place."owner explained.What happenedRipple asked curiously."Do you still remember when you were in the vampire dimension, data transmission not only malfunctioned but also sent you incorrect information""Rem...
