Get married?
Upon hearing Su Lianqing's words, the three of them were shocked. They looked at Su Lianqing in shock, wondering if they had heard wrongly.
"Lian Qing, you…what did you just say?”
An Ruyi hesitated for a moment and asked carefully.
"Mother, I want to marry Ji Ling!"
Su Lianqing repeated in a firm tone. This time, there was no hesitation. It was obvious that he had made up his mind.
She did not want to fake the marriage and use Ji Ling as a shield. She really wanted to marry Ji Ling and become his wife!
The reason was simple. She could not let Ji Ling take the lead and bear everything alone.
Ji Ling was just a lowly servant, yet he had disregarded his own safety and stood out to shelter the General Manor from the wind and rain. As the Eldest Miss, how could she hide behind Ji Ling and do nothing? Even if others did not say anything, she would not be able to get over it.
More importantly, Ji Ling was only a lowly servant, and his status was not presentable. If Ji Ling was the only servant who stood at the front during the most difficult times of the General Manor, how would others view the General Manor?
Her father had a great reputation all his life. If his reputation was damaged because of this, as a daughter, wouldn't she be ashamed of her father's heroic spirit?
Therefore, she had to do something!
The only thing she could do now was to marry Ji Ling and let him have a legitimate identity. Then, they could face everything together.
"Sister, don't be rash!"
Su Ruoning immediately panicked. She never thought that Su Lianqing would suddenly decide to get married. Moreover, the person she chose was the husband that she had already decided on beforehand…How could she accept this?
"Young miss, you should be cautious about the major events in life. You should take back this decision.”
Ji Ling also advised. He could guess Su Lianqing's thoughts, but in his opinion, this was completely unnecessary. He had to take care of everything, so why would Su Lianqing sacrifice herself?
"This is a decision that I have seriously considered. It is not an impulsive move.”
Su Lianqing shook his head lightly." You are just a servant of the General's Estate. If you were to stand in front of everyone, wouldn't you be laughed at by outsiders?" I can forget about the reputation of the General's Estate, but my father's reputation has been illustrious for a lifetime. How can I let his illustrious reputation be tarnished?”
"So this marriage must be done! Only when you become the son-in-law of the General's Estate can you righteously stand up for the General's Estate, and only then can your father's heroic name not be tarnished by the words of the marketplace.”
Su Lianqing was really going all out.
Even a servant could stand up for the General's Estate without caring about his safety, so what if she sacrificed a little?
Moreover, this was not considered a sacrifice.
Although Ji Ling was a servant, he had a rare talent in martial arts. His future achievements were limitless. She would be able to climb up the social ladder if she married Ji Ling.
To her, this was the best choice. After all, marrying someone else was no better than marrying Ji Ling. Moreover, Ji Ling's words and deeds today had made her have a good impression of him. She did not feel wronged at all when she saw Ji Ling as her home.
Even though she and Ji Ling did not have any relationship foundation, she did not care. In this world, it was already a blessing for a woman to have a good home. How could she talk about feelings? That would be too extravagant.
Therefore, in her opinion, this was not a sacrifice at all.
"Sis, if that's the case, then I'll just marry him!”
Su Ruoning said anxiously. To Su Lianqing, marrying Ji Ling might be considered a sacrifice, but to her, it would be the greatest happiness. She even dreamed of marrying Ji Ling!
Su Lianqing looked at Su Ruoning strangely. She naturally knew that Su Ruoning liked Ji Ling. Just now, she had also thought of letting Su Ruoning marry Ji Ling. Anyway, Su Ruoning had reached the age of marriage. However, as the older sister, she could not say this.
She did not mean to snatch Su Ruoning's man. It was just that she really wanted to do something for the General Manor…
"Ahem…"
At this moment, An Ruyi coughed dryly and looked at the two sisters reproachfully. She said with a straight face,"You two girls are really fighting. Have you asked for my opinion on such a big matter?”
"Mother, I…"
Su Lianqing didn't know what to say.
"Lian Qing, mother asks you, are you willing to marry Ji Ling?”
An Ruyi asked with a scrutinizing gaze.
Su Lianqing lowered her head and squirmed for a while before nodding her head lightly.
Seeing this, how could An Ruyi not see that Su Lianqing had really fallen for Ji Ling? She sighed in her heart. This little enemy was really a woman's bane. The little one was already deeply involved and could not extricate herself. Now, even the big one was involved…
What should he do now?
"Well…you guys didn't ask for my opinion, did you?”
At this moment, a weak voice sounded.
"What do you think?"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time. One was An Ruyi's, and the other was Su Lianqing's.
Ji Ling broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately said," Eldest Miss, I can understand how you feel. But marriage is not a child's game. You can't just give yourself away in a moment of desperation. You have to consider my feelings, right?" How about this? Let's fake the engagement first and get together in the name of fiancée. After this storm passes, we'll consider whether to get married or not according to the situation of our relationship. What do you think?”
Su Lianqing had given herself to him for free, so he naturally wouldn't reject her. However, he didn't want Su Lianqing to be forced to marry him.
If he wanted to get married, he had to marry her wholeheartedly. This was his principle.
He wasn't worried that Su Lianqing would escape from his grasp. If a duck could fly away, then what was the point of courting girls? He could just go play with living mud.
Upon hearing this, An Ruyi looked deeply at Ji Ling. This kid was really ambitious. He could have married Su Ruoning, but he insisted on a fake engagement with Su Lianqing. Wasn't he clearly trying to take advantage of all the sisters?
It seemed that what he brought back was not an ingrate, but a green-eyed wolf!
"Lian Qing, what do you think?"
An Ruyi saw through it and did not expose it. She turned to ask for Su Lianqing's opinion. In fact, she also hoped that Su Lianqing would marry Ji Ling. If it was not a good deal for anyone, it would be better to let her own people benefit.
Of course, this was also because Su Lianqing was willing to marry her. Otherwise, even if she was one of them, she would not have agreed.
"I…"
Su Lianqing bit her thin lips and stole a glance at Ji Ling. She then lowered her head with a blush."I have no objections…"
