(PS: The description of Daiyu’s heart in the previous chapter feels a little less interesting, and it does not express Daiyu’s reserve well. Some modifications have been made, and those who care about the details can refresh and reread it.)

Lin Ruhai walked in tremblingly with the support of the maid.

Daiyu was about to get up, but Lin Ruhai waved her hand to stop her. Then Lin Ruhai, with the help of the maid, carefully sat on the stool in front of the couch.

When Daiyu saw Lin Ruhai looking so weak, she came over to see her, her eyes were red, and she cried for a while: "My daughter is unfilial, and my father is worried."

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai felt relieved and pity in her heart.

He raised his head and looked around at the maids in the room, and then ordered: "You all can go out."

Zijuan and others knew that Lin Ruhai had something important to say. Talking to Daiyu alone, they didn't dare to hesitate and left one after another.

When Daiyu saw this, she didn't know what she thought of, she felt a little nervous, and her heart started beating loudly.

She said nothing, just waiting for Lin Ruhai to say.

　"How are you?"

　"Report to father, you are much better."

　"You..."
< br />Lin Ruhai wanted to ask why Daiyu fainted outside his house before.

But when she thought about it, Lin Ruhai could guess a little bit. She thought that if she asked, her daughter would inevitably be embarrassed, so she stopped talking.

After a long pause, he said quietly: "Before, your second brother Lian said something to me in the house."

Daiyu's face suddenly turned red, and she even He turned his head away suddenly and lowered his head. After a long time, he said Nunuo: "Tell me, what did you say..."

Lin Ruhai didn't know what to do when he saw this. Maybe what he had said to Jia Lian before, Daiyu heard everything.

I sighed in my heart, he is also a smart person, and his daughter’s reaction actually explains something.

However, the matter is so important that there is no reason to be careless. It is better to have some clarity.

After thinking for a long time, he asked: "Yu'er, if my father betroths you to your cousin Baoyu, would you be willing?"

Huh?

Daiyu thought for a moment that she heard wrongly. Shouldn't it be the second brother Lian? Why did she suddenly become Baoyu?

Turning back to stare at her father's face to make sure he was right, Daiyu suddenly became sad and looked at him blankly for a long time. Fang Xinruo replied with despair, "My daughter has already said that she will never marry in this life. Man, I only wish to serve my father till the end of my life, so in this case, father should stop talking. "

Lin Ruhai sighed and asked again: "Then, what if it's your second cousin Lian? "

Daiyu was suddenly stunned and lowered her head for a long time before she shed tears.

"Father, don't talk nonsense. The second brother Lian already has sister Feng. ”

Daiyu pretended not to understand Lin Ruhai’s words.

In fact, there is no difference.

What a proud person she is. She was willing to humble herself in front of Jia Lian and be an obedient little sister.

Although she was touched by Jia Lian's affection for her, she did not want to make Wang Xifeng hate her.
< br /> During the years when she arrived in Jia's house, although people in the house slandered Wang Xifeng a lot, she liked Wang Xifeng quite a lot.

Because besides Jia Lian and Jia's mother, Wang Xifeng was the most important person to her. The person who takes care of her the most. Although she knows that this may also have something to do with Jia Lian, because she once heard Jia Lian telling Wang Xifeng to take more care of her.

Lin Ruhai was frightened by Daiyu at this time. Now, Daiyu is unwilling to marry Jia Lian?

He was a little surprised and said: "Actually, Yuer, it is normal for a person like your second brother Lian to have three wives and four concubines. .

What’s more, he didn’t. As far as I know, besides the Wang family, there is only one person in the house, Tongfang. ”

With Lin Ruhai’s status, she could only find out about Ping’er’s existence. As for Qingwen and Xiangling, to outsiders, they are nothing more than maids.

As for Daiyu, Although he knew about Qingwen Xiangling’s existence, he didn’t care much about it.

She is just an ignorant little girl after all.

“Besides, I can see that you Lian Er My brother treats you very sincerely.

If I entrust you to him, you can get his care, and I can go there with peace of mind. ”

Lin Ruhai said.

He actually didn’t know that he came to inquire about Daiyu’s feelings, so why did he persuade her instead.

Perhaps , he just didn’t want his daughter to dare to express it because of shyness.

Daiyu was also a little surprised by Lin Ruhai’s attitude. She looked up at him and said with tears in her eyes: "Could it be that what father meant was to Give your daughter to Lian's second brother as a concubine? "

"I don't want you to be wronged either. To be honest, if it were someone else, I would have no reason to agree.

It’s just your second brother Lian... What do you think of your second brother Lian’s personality? ”

Lin Ruhai suddenly asked.

Daiyu was silent for a while and replied: "Brother Lian is a very good person and treats me very well."

When Lin Ruhai saw this, he continued: "You Brother Lian said that he will marry you as a real wife, and from now on, he will treat you as a real wife and will not let you be wronged.

I think of his behavior , I am not that kind of person who talks nonsense. If I hand you over to him, I will feel relieved.

I just don’t know what your intentions are.”

Lin Ruhai simply picked the topic Speak clearly.

Lin Ruhai finally figured it out. Whenever he talked about other people, Daiyu would stop him with words such as saying that he would never marry for the rest of his life.

When it comes to Jia Lian, Daiyu is shy but willing to listen to him.

So, he was too lazy to talk in circles. He doesn't have much energy to waste and must make an early decision.

After hearing what Lin Ruhai said, Daiyu couldn’t stop crying.

She never thought that Lin Ruhai would be willing to agree. Wasn't he so angry when faced with brother Lian's marriage proposal before?

Daiyu knows very well that her father attaches great importance to her reputation.

That’s why she thought that her father would never agree to Jia Lian’s request.

This was also the reason why she did not dare to reveal her thoughts to Lin Ruhai before.

She even didn’t know that her father had been planning to marry her to Jia Baoyu since last year.

Speaking of Jia Baoyu, although he is not as good as Jia Lian, he is still a cousin who cares about her. Although Jia Baoyu has a bad personality, bad temper, and ignorance, he always makes her angry.

But she doesn’t hate him very much.

I just never thought that I would marry him.

First, as long as she identifies one person in her heart, she will never change it easily. Second, she knew that her second aunt didn't like her very much.

That’s why she doesn’t want to marry.

I didn’t expect that my father would misunderstand me. She took the initiative to propose marriage, but was treated perfunctorily, which made her father lose a lot of face, which made her regret and blame herself very much.

That’s why she told Lin Ruhai that she would never marry in order to eliminate the possibility of Lin Ruhai being irritated by others.

This is also an idea she had in mind for a long time.

It is impossible for her to be like the mediocre women in the world, obeying the orders of her parents and the advice of a matchmaker, and casually marrying a man she doesn’t know. From then on, she will marry a chicken, a chicken, a dog, or a dog. She will have bad luck. , you deserve a lifetime of sorrow.

That was definitely not Lin Daiyu’s choice.

But she also had no other choice.

She thought that if her father really left her alone, she might as well go with him. It's good to be clean and worry-free.

But who knew that at this juncture, second brother Lian would actually propose marriage to his father! !

There is no way out despite the mountains and rivers, but there is another village with hidden flowers and bright flowers!

She is very happy, very happy.

She was even more pleased that her father actually agreed!

But she is a tactful person. Even if she wants something, she will not say it herself, let alone such a big thing.

She usually waits for others to give it to her, and forgets if they don’t.

Like her father, she has huge psychological baggage and cannot make up her mind.

Lin Ruhai sighed after seeing Daiyu not speaking for a long time.

　"Your mother passed away early, and I didn't have time to take good care of you, so I could only leave you with your grandmother.

"I have wronged you all these years.< br />
Therefore, this time regarding your life-long matters, I want to listen to your own wishes as a father.

If you feel wronged, then I will reject you. Brother Lian will do the same. Yes."

Lin Ruhai said, seeming to want to get up and leave.

When Daiyu saw this, her heart suddenly became anxious, her blood surged up, and she couldn't help coughing.

Lin Ruhai wanted to step forward and help Daiyu, but because of the inconvenience of her hands and feet, she only had time to stretch out her hand.

Although they are so close, the father and daughter are as if they are separated by mountains and cannot get close to each other.

Lin Ruhai felt sad. It seemed that she needed a considerate person to take care of her daughter.

Fortunately, Daiyu only coughed a few times and then stopped.

Seeing that her father was still looking at her, Daiyu took a deep breath and finally whispered: "Parents have always made the final decision on children's affairs... Daughters should obey their father in everything."< br />
Before he finished speaking, his face was already as red as blood.

She didn’t dare to face Lin Ruhai, so she turned over and lay on the bed, preventing Lin Ruhai from seeing her face again.

When Lin Ruhai saw this, he was very stunned. After a long time, he burst out laughing, and even his cloudy eyes suddenly became hale and hearty.

He no longer stayed in the house, turned around and walked out the door.

Daiyu on the couch felt even more ashamed when she heard her father's distant laughter, and simply buried her body under the quilt.

So when Zicuckoo came in and found Daiyu from the quilt, she found that Daiyu's whole body was red and hot. She was shocked and turned pale, thinking that Daiyu was sick.
