I dress up as a poor noblewoman, and I bring my whole family home with my literary talent.

Chapter 18 Forced
As soon as the door was opened, the reckless man who was about to rush in was stunned.

The young lady from the Song family was indeed very beautiful, with fair skin and delicate figure. Although she was wearing only a jade-colored dress that could not be more plain and elegant, with no other decorations on her body, she had a natural, elegant and otherworldly beauty.

As expected of her from Chang'an, she is just like a fairy from the Moon Palace descending to the mortal world. It seems that looking at her any longer would be a blasphemy to her.

The first person to react was a young man in a silver-red silk robe. He walked forward with a fat face, waving a folding fan happily, his eyes popping with joy: "Miss Song is at home, that's really great."

Song Lingyi looked at the completely unfamiliar fat man in front of her and said coldly, "Who are you?"

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot." Lin Xuan folded his fan with a snap, took two steps forward, and then pretended to be cool and casual and spread it out: "I am the son of the Lin family, the richest family in Lin County, Lin Xuan!"

Song Lingyi: “…” You’re sick!
After two breaths of silence, she asked, "What are you doing here?"

It was the first time that Lin Xuan was treated so coldly by a woman. However, the cold face and cold words of this pretty young lady were quite a different feeling, and made people want to conquer her even more.

He waved the fan in his hand and slowly explained his purpose: "I was on a boat trip a few days ago and happened to see Miss Song by the river. I fell in love with you at first sight! I went back and told my family that I wanted to marry Miss Song. So today I brought a matchmaker and a betrothal gift to your house, just to let Miss Song see how sincere I am!"

As he said this, he turned and waved towards the door, and saw a matchmaker dressed in red and green, with a smile on her face, ordering servants to carry in more than a dozen large red boxes and cages.

Snapped!
Song Lingyi blocked the door directly
"What are you doing? Did I agree to let you in? What? Are you forcing me to buy you something?!"

"Miss Song, here are 28 loads of betrothal gifts. Even the county magistrate's daughter would not spend more than this. This shows how much Mr. Lin values ​​you." The matchmaker smiled and presented the gift list: "You can take a look first. It will definitely suit your taste!"

Song Lingyi didn't even glance at him, her face as cold as ice: "Before you asked the wife of the village chief to come here, I made it very clear that I already have someone I like and I won't stay here for long. Do you really want me to say it again in front of you? That's fine, please listen carefully--"

"I! Won't! Marry!"

Master Lin, who had a smooth life, had never been treated so badly before. He couldn't hold on to his smile any more. "What did you say?!"

He had a stern face that was grey from overindulgence, and the corners of his mouth twitched with a sneer: "Don't be ungrateful!"

She is just a little girl living alone here. He wants to marry her. It is her blessing. If she dares to disobey today——

He closed his fan, which was like a signal, and the dozen or so servants in the yard all looked ferocious and ready to attack at any time.

If it were another woman, she would probably be frightened by this scene.

But Song Lingyi has been influenced by the rule of law, so how could she easily give in to evil forces? Even though the enemy outnumbers her and it is not a wise choice to confront them head-on, she will never compromise.

"What? You want to hit me?" Song Lingyi rolled up her sleeves. "That's impossible! This is the king's land. If you dare to mess with me, I will file a complaint with the emperor!"

In such a short while, many villagers had gathered around.

They probably couldn't bear to see a group of men embarrass a little girl, not to mention that Lin Xuan was not a good person. Someone in the crowd was already speaking for Song Lingyi:

"How can you think of bringing in the betrothal gifts when the whole family is not here?"

"That's right, you still want to force marriage?"

"Girl, if you don't want to agree, don't agree. Can the people of Shili Village just watch you get bullied?!"

Master Lin angrily ordered his men to surround the yard. His swollen eyes glanced at Song Lingyi several times, then he looked at the restless villagers and said viciously: "Today I want to see who dares to intervene when the Lin family needs someone!" As soon as these words came out, the hot-blooded villagers exploded and started pushing and shoving with the people from the Lin family.

While the villagers were still encircling him, Master Lin held the engagement letter in front of Song Lingyi and said, "Sign it quickly, or don't blame me..."

The tip of his tongue touched his back teeth: "How ruthless!" As he said this, he grinned and stretched out his dirty hands to grab Song Lingyi.

Song Lingyi dodged back and stepped into the yard
He looked around and picked up the hammer on the ground: "In broad daylight, in the open, you dare to force a marriage with malicious intent. Where do you think the law is?"

Master Lin laughed twice and walked forward into the yard: "King's law? I tell you, my Lin family is the king——"

The screams like a pig being slaughtered resounded throughout the courtyard, and everyone outside was startled.

I saw a sleeve arrow brushing against Master Lin's hand that was trying to flirt with Song Lingyi, and then it went straight into the door panel! A big cut was made on the back of his hand, and blood kept pouring out of the wound, turning into blood flowers and dripping onto the ground.

This sudden change shocked everyone, even Song Lingyi was stunned for a moment.

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the tall black figure at the door of the house.

"Sorry... sorry..." Lu Jing said this, but his face was calm. He walked into the yard and pulled Song Lingyi behind him: "My wife, I am late."

Song Lingyi: “…” What’s going on?
Looking at the group of ferocious servants of the Lin family, they rushed forward waving sticks, but before they could even touch the corners of their clothes, they were knocked to the ground by the fierce Lu Jing, and then they covered their chests, hugged their arms and legs, and screamed in pain.

Wow - even though he's injured, he's still so good.

Song Lingyi was shocked
Seeing the people he brought with him being knocked down like little chickens, Master Lin panicked: "You...you are so insolent! Do you know who I am? How dare you be so rude! Someone, come here!"

But no matter how he shouted, no one dared to come forward.

Lu Jing looked coldly at Master Lin, who was so frightened that his whole body was shaking like a sieve but was still shouting, and frowned slightly: "Shut up."

Master Lin was so frightened by his cold stare that he ran out of the yard in a hurry.

Seeing this scene, the matchmaker and the porters who were carrying the boxes and baskets became panicked. They dared not stay any longer and just picked up their things and ran away.

Crisis lifted
The villagers dispersed, only Aunt Li came in and asked cautiously: "Lingyi, is this the... Lu Lang?"

Two pairs of eyes in the yard stared at her. Song Lingyi stammered, "He...he..."

"My husband came to the rescue in time. My wife was so happy that she even stuttered when she spoke." Lu Jing blinked, gracefully.

"Ahem." Song Lingyi choked on the water. Who was so happy? But, he was really handsome just now...

Lu Jing's narrow and long phoenix eyes are full of affection for everyone he looks at, and people who are not aware of the situation will really be fooled by him.

Aunt Li smiled and said, "It's good that he's here, it's good that he's here. This young man is handsome and has extraordinary skills. No wonder you like him, Lingyi!"
