Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 421 Marry

It was already afternoon, but the weather was a bit gloomy, and it looked like a storm was coming.

Si He stood by the window. It seemed like she hadn't seen such weather for a long time. She didn't like this kind of weather before, but after her body changed, this kind of weather made her more comfortable.

After a while, Aunt Deng and Guo Jiayan walked into the yard, accompanied by a maid carrying some things.

Such situations have become more common in recent days, but most of the time they are turned away. However, despite this, they are still not discouraged. It should be said that it is Aunt Deng who is not discouraged, and Guo Jiayan is just accompanying her.

At this time, Guo Jiayan followed Aunt Deng into the yard. Every time she saw that only Guo Jiaqu lived in such a big yard, she felt angry and indignant.

Because they were all concubines' daughters, after Guo Jiaqu got a good marriage, she was treated like a legitimate daughter in the Guo family.

In the Guo family, only legitimate daughters and sons can live in a courtyard alone, while concubines' daughters live together in groups of three or four. Although they all have their own rooms, it is not so comfortable to live in the same courtyard. Moreover, many things have to be shared, and the food and daily necessities are incomparable. The same is true for concubines' sons.

Guo Jiaqu, on the other hand, received the same treatment as the legitimate daughters. This was unique among the concubines' daughters, and everyone would be jealous.

When the two of them entered the house, Si He politely bowed to Aunt Deng and called out, "Aunt Deng."

These days, she has been more restrained and no longer acts as casually as before. She is just getting familiar with and getting used to such rules. Because after arriving at the Yue family, such rules are indispensable and unavoidable, and she will have to get used to them.

Aunt Deng was somewhat relieved when she saw this, but Guo Jiayan continued to find fault with her as usual, "You should call me mother!"

Aunt Deng quickly pulled Guo Jiayan aside and scolded her in a low voice, "Sister Yan, stop talking!"

"Sister Qu, don't worry about Sister Yan. Oh, I brought you a bowl of tonic. It's a new recipe. The doctor said it's very good. I brewed it myself and brought it here. You should drink it while it's hot. If it gets cold, it won't be effective."

As Aunt Deng spoke, she asked the maid to bring the medicine, then she reached out and picked up the medicine cup herself, carefully placed it on the table, and urged her to drink the medicine, looking very caring and loving towards her daughter.

Si He glanced at the cup of medicine calmly and said, "Leave it there. I'll drink it later."

Aunt Deng looked a little anxious when she saw this. She wanted to persuade her again, but when she met her cold gaze, she swallowed her words and said, "Okay, then remember to drink it. The doctor said this medicine is very good and will help your body."

She replied calmly, "Yeah."

Every time Guo Jiayan saw her like this, she was extremely angry, but her mother always spoke up for her.

Guo Jiayan simply turned her head away, thinking out of sight, out of mind.

Aunt Deng put the lid on the medicine bowl and chatted with Si He again. "Sister Qu, how are you feeling after taking the tonic recently? Are you feeling better?"

As she spoke, she was about to pull Si He's hand, wanting to get closer, but Si He was one step faster and naturally avoided her, walking to the side and sitting down.

Aunt Deng was stunned for a moment, but soon smiled again and sat aside.

"pretty good."

As Si He spoke, she reached out, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water.

Aunt Deng hesitated to speak, but Si He pretended not to notice. After a while, she said, "Sister Qu, please ask these maids to leave. I want to have a private conversation with you."

Si He glanced at her, moved the water cup in front of her, and then did as she wished, asking all the maids around her to leave, including Gao You and Gao Zi.

At this moment, there were only three people left in the room.

Si He also poured herself a glass of water, but ignored Guo Jiayan who was standing there.

Seeing this, Guo Jiayan became even angrier and sat down with a stern face.

Aunt Deng saw that Si He had no curiosity at all and didn't ask a single question, as if she was just waiting for her to speak. Helplessly, she said, "Sister Qu, you will be getting married soon, and the Guo family will arrange for someone to marry you off. I think you should suggest to the old lady that Sister Yan marry with you. After all, you are sisters, and this will be good for you. You will have a close sister to help you."

Guo Jiayan, who was standing by, looked a little aggrieved when she heard this, but she didn't say anything. It was obvious that they had discussed this matter before, and she had agreed to it herself. After all, the Yue family was not an ordinary family. Even if she just married into the Yue family, it would still be much better than the marriage arranged by the Guo family.

After all, she is just a concubine's daughter, and her marriage will not be very good. What's more, Guo Jiaqu is in poor health. If she marries him, the chances of turning her life around will be very high. This is a rare opportunity!

But when Si He heard this, her expression instantly turned cold.

Aunt Deng quickly added, "Sister Qu, I don't mean to upset you. As for the dowry, the old lady has already decided on the candidates. They are Jiaqing from the eldest house, Jiayun from the second house, and Jiamei, the legitimate daughter, and Jiaxin, the concubine's daughter, from the third house. Now, the third house has even been willing to send its legitimate daughter as a dowry. Although they are all your sisters, after all, only Sister Yan is closer to you. Besides, there are already four dowry women, so it doesn't matter if there is one more. If you talk to the old lady, she will definitely agree."

Si He looked at Aunt Deng with a cold gaze, even a hint of anger. She took a deep breath and said, "Did you say that the old lady has arranged for someone to marry with her?"

Aunt Deng was a little scared of her gaze, so she nodded honestly, "Yes, didn't the old lady tell you?"

Si He curled her lips into a cold smile. No wonder it was so peaceful during this period. It turned out that these people had already made up their minds, and it was far more than what seemed on the surface.

She originally knew that the peace was an illusion. After all, the endless supply of medicinal food and tonics showed that those people had ulterior motives, but she still thought things were simple.

Since it was all arranged that she would marry, why did they keep it a secret from her? Were they afraid she would cause trouble? So they had to use the medicinal food to kill her without anyone noticing, and then find someone else to replace her on her wedding day?

In this case, even if something happened to her, it would be due to her health problems. Even the two maids of the Yue family would have seen it, so the Guo family couldn't be blamed. And the marriage would go on as usual, with a replacement? And then, would they apologize to the Yue family?

Is this what the Guo family is planning now?

Si He's eyes grew colder and colder. She picked up the cup and quietly drank a sip of water. The calmer her face looked, the angrier she felt in her heart.

This marriage was really a popular one. Even the legitimate daughter was willing to be sent as a concubine's daughter. She guessed that the person who would replace her was most likely Guo Jiaqiao, the legitimate daughter of the eldest house. Otherwise, how could the legitimate daughter of the third house be willing to marry a concubine's daughter?

Because Guo Jiayue was already engaged, the only suitable candidate was Guo Jiaqiao, the legitimate daughter.
