Chapter 144 Her biological daughter was switched; Yu Ruowei is not her daughter.
Chen Dongxi nodded decisively.
“That young master saved me, and in front of everyone, my clothes were soaked, and I had physical contact with him. If I were to marry someone else, I’m sure my husband would despise me.”
At this point, her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
"Uncle Yu, please grant my request."
"Did you already know that the young master of the Lu family would come to the Marquis's residence yesterday?" Yu Kangjing was very disappointed in her, but still wanted to give her a chance to hear her explanation.
"What young master of the Lu family?" Chen Dongxi pretended to be stupid.
Yu Kangjing was utterly disappointed.
He said in a deep voice, "I'll ask you one last time: are you going to repay the person who saved you yesterday with your body? No matter who he is."
His tone was very serious, and Chen Dongxi felt inexplicably flustered, but thinking of the good days to come, she still nodded decisively.
"Yes. I'm willing."
Yu Kangjing said expressionlessly, "Alright. Then I will have Ma Debao come to propose to you tomorrow. Although you are five years apart, if you are willing to marry him, I believe he will be willing to wait for you for another two years."
"Who is Ma Debao? Wasn't Lu Lingzhao the one who saved me?" Chen Dongxi was completely dumbfounded.
“Ma Debao is a servant in the Marquis’s mansion. Everyone saw him yesterday; he was the one who carried you ashore.”
Yu Kangjing's words completely devastated Chen Dongxi.
"No, it's impossible." She shook her head frantically.
"Uncle Yu, I don't want to marry a servant."
Chen Dongxi burst into tears.
“I asked you before, and you said you were willing.” Yu Kangjing’s face was ashen.
"You still say you don't know any young master of the Lu family."
Chen Dongxi was speechless.
"Uncle Yu, I know I was wrong. I don't want to marry Ma Debao. Waaaaah. I was really wrong. It was all Aunt Chun's fault for encouraging me." She cried as she confessed to Chun Que.
Yu Kangjing didn't expect that the eldest branch of the family was still so restless, daring to even extend their reach into their courtyard.
He angrily rebuked, "I taught you to read, write, and understand principles, and this is all the rubbish you've learned? You believe whatever others say?"
"I was wrong, I really know I was wrong." Chen Dongxi cried very hard.
For a moment, she felt that even marrying a scholar would be good.
What future could she possibly have if she married a servant in a noble household?
The child born could only become a servant girl.
"It's too late, Xi'er." Yu Kangjing shook his head and opened the door.
Standing outside the door were Ma Debao's family and Cui Ruixin's maid, Xia Ying.
Yu Kangjing said expressionlessly, "Ma Debao's mother has already asked the First Madam for this marriage, and the First Madam has come to me. I said it's all up to you. If you're willing, then marry him. If you're not, then this marriage is off."
"But you just said it yourself, you're willing."
Chen Dongxi was struck dumb.
Ma Debao's maternal family, Madam Feng, quickly said, "Xi'er, don't worry. After you come of age, our Debao will definitely marry you in a grand and glorious way. From then on, we will be one family."
"No, I don't want to, I don't want to marry him." Chen Dongxi covered her face and cried bitterly.
But Yu Kangjing ignored her and simply told Ma Debao's family to leave.
Then he looked at the new maid and said, "Coral, you will be responsible for looking after her from now on until she gets married."
"Yes." Coral nodded.
"Uncle Yu, please help me one last time, I really know I was wrong." Chen Dongxi cried until her voice was hoarse.
But Yu Kangjing had completely given up on her and was unwilling to waste his time on her, so he turned and left.
If Chen Dongxi really uses his innocence as an excuse to cling to the Lu family today, how will Yaoyao get along with them in the future? And how will the Lu family view them?
Yu Kangjing felt a headache just thinking about it.
Fortunately, Yao Yao resolved the matter in time; otherwise, they would have had no words to face the Lu family.
……
Back home, Lu Lingzhao recounted the events that had occurred at the Marquis's residence that day.
Lu Lingguang added explanations about Chen Dongxi's identity and what she had done before.
Shen Chuyu frowned after hearing this.
This was clearly a trap, a scheme to arrange Lu Lingzhao's marriage.
"Luckily, Yaoyao jumped into the water in time, otherwise this would have been really difficult to handle," she couldn't help but sigh.
"Yeah! Otherwise, that idiot would become my sister-in-law, which is terrifying to think about." Lu Lingguang showed a disgusted expression.
“This matter cannot be blamed on the Yu family; blame that girl surnamed Chen.” Shen Chuyu turned to look at her husband.
“I know, I’m not the kind of person who takes my anger out on others easily.” Lu Qingyun nodded.
"Take some gifts to visit Yaoyao, in case she falls into the water and gets sick."
The Lu family was discussing what gift to give Yu Ningyao, but the Yu family came to apologize by giving a gift first.
Their understanding made the Lu family feel much better.
This incident did not cause the two families to grow apart; on the contrary, it made them even closer.
When Cui Ruixin learned of this, she was so angry she almost vomited blood.
What angered her even more was that her eldest son had a big argument with her about it.
"Mother, that's my birthday. Do you really have to drag those sordid scheming things into this?" After regaining his senses, Yu Ziche only said this one sentence to her, and then refused to see her again.
"Useless, all of you are useless!" Cui Ruixin slammed her fist on the table in anger.
Chen Dongxi and Chun Que are both useless; they can't even handle this simple task.
Fortunately, she managed to get Ma Debao's mother to propose marriage in time.
After Chen Dongxi got married, she had to make a living under her mother-in-law's supervision, while her mother-in-law worked for her.
Rounding it off, she could be considered to have Chen Dongxi under her thumb.
Thinking about it this way, Cui Ruixin finally felt a little better.
She was planning to invite her second and youngest sons over for dinner so she could have a heart-to-heart talk with them and ask them to help reconcile her relationship with her eldest son.
Unexpectedly, the Marquis arranged for both children to stay at the academy and forbade them to return home.
"What does Your Excellency mean by this?" Cui Ruixin asked, exasperated, as she went to find Yu Kangping.
Yu Kangping said coldly, "You know perfectly well what you've done. I'm afraid you'll corrupt the two children."
"They are currently studying and learning at the academy, which is a good time for them. You must not disturb them."
"If you dare to cause any more trouble that disgraces the Marquis's mansion, don't blame me for being impolite and replacing the Marquis's mistress."
Cui Ruixin almost fainted from anger after hearing this.
She was heartbroken that she couldn't see her three biological children, so she sent someone to Chunhua Mountain to deliver a letter to her daughter, hoping that her daughter could comfort her.
Unexpectedly, the servant who went there brought back earth-shattering news.
Her biological daughter was switched; Yu Ruowei was not her and the Marquis's biological daughter.
