Chapter 76
In fact, Chen Ying didn't have that much defense against this cousin, but she came to scare her from time to time, which really made Chen Ying very disliked.

As the eldest son of the Hou family, Shu Lingyi didn't have concubines. Even if Chen Ying had married him and had two sons and one daughter in the past few years, she still couldn't stop Mrs. Hou from filling her son's backyard with people, and Shu Lingyi himself liked it.

Chen Ying also didn't imagine that her husband would be devoted to her and have no one else. After all, whether it was her grandfather or her father, even the legendary second uncle's backyard had concubines and concubines.

Therefore, Chen Ying never expected to be a couple for a lifetime. Even though she envied Mrs. Anyang Hou Shizi very much, after knowing the reason for the death of Mrs. Anyang Hou Shizi, Chen Ying was no longer so envious.

Compared to her husband who loves her wholeheartedly, and then she tosses for him until her body collapses and leaves a few children behind, she would rather have a concubine in the backyard of her husband, and would rather have a concubine give birth to her husband than she would torment herself The body broke down.

Chen Ying watched Liu Tinglan leave, looked at Shu Lingyi and said, "Cousin is already in her prime, what does uncle think about her marriage?"

"Or, let mother show my cousin?"

"Of course, if you really want to accept your cousin, I have no objection." Chen Ying said generously, isn't she a concubine?Isn't it the daughter of the girl married by the Hou's mansion who became her husband's concubine?
There is also the Pingyang Hou Mansion behind her, who is not more noble than the other?Her father has a title to inherit, and now he is also a third-rank official, how can he not compare to Liu Tinglan?

Shu Lingyi looked at her and shook his head helplessly, "Don't make trouble, how could my cousin be my concubine?"

Shu Lingyi is not a serious person. With Chen Ying, a wife who is both good-looking and capable, and there are several beautiful concubines in the backyard, he actually doesn't want more people in the backyard.

"My cousin has a deep affection for you. You said she can't be your concubine. Could it be that you want her to be your wife? To take my place?" Chen Ying smiled and said to Shu Lingyi.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shu Lingyi held her hand and said, "Ma'am, you can't say such unlucky words, my wife has always been you."

He is very satisfied with his wife. She has a good family background and is very capable. She also gave birth to two sons and a daughter. She is tolerant and good-looking. What is he dissatisfied with such a wife?

Shu Lingyi did feel sorry for his cousin Liu Tinglan, and the other party's admiration and admiration for him was also very useful, and it satisfied his man's pride.

But Shu Lingyi knew very well that she was not as good as Chen Ying, her cousin in terms of family background. There was not much difference in appearance, but in ability.

Liu Tinglan's ability is definitely not as capable as Chen Ying, the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Pingyang. He is crazy to let a good helper like Chen Ying go and let Liu Tinglan, who is not as good as her, take her place .

Chen Ying looked at her handsome and gentle husband, smiled and said, "I hope so."

Liu Tinglan didn't know what her cousin and his wife said after she left, and she couldn't help but look gloomy when she returned to her yard.

"Girl?" Liu Tinglan's maid, Xi Que, looked at her girl's ugly face and couldn't help persuading her, "Girl, don't worry about Mrs. Shizi, Mrs. Shizi's position is very stable, she..."

To be honest, as she grew older, Magpie also set her sights on several grown-up gentlemen in the Marquis of Suyang, and the elder son Shu Lingyi could be said to be the most outstanding one.

When she knew that her daughter liked the eldest son, she also imagined that if her daughter married the eldest son, would she be able to serve the eldest son's maid in the future when her daughter was inconvenient, and if she was lucky, she could even become an aunt.

But as more than half a year passed, the magpie gradually became discouraged.

"Girl, you are the daughter of a fourth-rank official, and the first cousin of the Hou Mansion. You have a noble status. How can you be a concubine?"

"Even if you are the stepmother, isn't Mrs. Shizi good? You...you should let it go?" Magpie persuaded.

Liu Tinglan gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not reconciled."

Liu Tinglan knew very well that if she returned to her father's side, the person she would marry would definitely not be comparable to a man like Suyang Hou Shizi, and her family background and abilities would not be comparable at all, and she would not even be comparable in appearance.

During the one and a half years in Suyanghou's mansion for nearly two years, she knew how good her cousin was, and she couldn't help thinking that if her husband was not as good as her cousin, how could she be willing to marry him?

She didn't mean how affectionate she was to Shu Lingyi, how much she loved him, but he was the best condition among so many people she had met, and she just couldn't bear to give up.

"Girl, the third young master is also very suitable for you." Magpie couldn't help persuading.

Of course, the Suyang Hou Mansion does not want to have only one son like the Anyang Hou Mansion. The third young master is Shu Yunyi, the younger brother of Shu Lingyi's mother.

Shu Yunyi can be said to be the most handsome one in Suyang Houfu, even more handsome than his elder brother Shu Lingyi, and his talent is also very good. At the age of 16, he has already passed the examination of scholar and entered the Imperial College to study.

Moreover, Shu Yunyi hasn't married a wife yet. If her daughter marries Shu Yunyi, it will be much better than thinking about marrying the elder son Shu Lingyi.

"Girl..." Magpie looked at his girl and said.

In fact, the reason why Magpie let go of her thoughts on Shu Lingyi was because she met Shu Yunyi who had returned from a study abroad trip. She felt that Shu Yunyi was more attractive than Shu Lingyi.

Shu Yunyi really has the temperament of a romantic and talented man, personable, elegant and handsome, which really pokes the mind of a teenage girl like her.

"Third young master?" Liu Tinglan thought of her third cousin who had only met twice before, and she had to admit that third cousin Shu Yunyi was more handsome than her eldest cousin Shu Lingyi.

However, no matter how handsome and talented Shu Yunyi is, it is impossible for him to inherit the title of Marquis of Suyang. Of course, her goal is on Shu Lingyi.

"Don't think about it, Magpie, the only one I like is my cousin." Liu Tinglan said righteously.

The most important thing is that she has been chasing Shu Lingyi for so long before, everyone in the house knows that she likes Shu Lingyi, how can she turn around and show favor to Shu Yunyi?How can you move on so quickly?

The most important thing is that if she makes such a hedging thing, let alone what the brothers Shu Lingyi and Shu Yunyi think, what does the aunt Mrs. Suyanghou think?

Her two excellent sons, what does it look like for a little girl to pick and choose?In this way, my aunt's impression of her will definitely decline.

Liu Tinglan would never do such a thing that would damage her image.

She is very clear that she is superficial in dealing with Shu Lingyi and Chen Ying's white lotus green tea, but at least she still has an image of being affectionate with her cousin. If she turns around and hooks up with her third cousin Shu Yunyi, then her reputation will be ruined. wanted.

Shu Yunyi is just a scholar now, even if he is enrolled in the Guozijian now, he is only a scholar.How can it compare to Shu Lingyi who is already an official and can inherit the title?
Anyway, she just thinks that Shu Lingyi is the most outstanding man worth her time to pursue, and other people she knows are not qualified to make her spend so much time.
