Chapter 49 - Collusion
Lian's heart was wholly devoted to Xiang Qixuan. “Uncle, is it possible that I can't marry the person I love?” At this moment, his eyes brimmed with tears, ready to fall.
Seeing Lian's pitiful state, he understood what to do. In truth, he didn't really favor the kid Lian was betrothed to, but Eldest Lin's methods were despicable.
How many years have passed since you let an abandoned husband marry a scholar? This was truly a cunning plan, “Since this is your choice, Uncle won't stop you. I only hope Lian finds happiness in the future.” His eyes were filled with tenderness.
He had only one boy. Back then, he lost his health giving birth, leaving him unable to have more children. Now, he truly treated this brother of his as his own child.
Ouyang Lian nodded with a blush. He knew that if his uncle agreed, there would be no objections. After all, his uncle's favorite disciple was Xiang Qixuan.
He had thought that even if Xiang Bagui agreed, he would drag things out for a while. He didn't expect such efficiency.
His brother's family was very poor, leading him to believe that his character was no better. Otherwise, the marriage wouldn't have been annulled. Moreover, from the village gossip, he knew that Lin Yuxing was a vile person who lacked basic filial piety. Even his grandmother was angered by him.
“This is Qi's master,” Xiang Bagui proudly introduced.
“Please sit, please sit!” Eldest Lin said nervously.
He Jiahao nodded slightly. He took out a piece of paper from his chest pocket and said, “This is the marriage contract. You can sign it after reading it.”
Eldest Lin was illiterate, and just as he was about to press his finger, Lin Yuxing walked in. “Dad, what are you doing?” He looked at the two strangers suspiciously.
