"Wait a minute! I think Yan Lian, you may have misunderstood!"

No! This is absolutely not possible!

When Yan Lian made the announcement in front of the officials of Soochow, Li Yalin was stunned at first, and then he completely reacted. He knew that he had to say something at this critical moment, otherwise if it was a done deal, he might not be able to change it.

Already.

It is true that his purpose of coming to Soochow this time is not simple. If it is just to aid Soochow, he can send his capable ministers and generals. What's more, he only needs to find Tamamo Mae and the nine-tailed demon fox.

If you say this, Soochow's offensive will immediately slow down.

You must know that the main target in his mind is the generals and sisters of Jiangdong. If he wants to add more cute generals to himself, he must attack these girls of Soochow.

If his marriage to Sun Ce is set this time, apart from anything else, Sun Ce's sister will definitely not be able to accept it. Although he has not been in contact with this sister for a long time, he can also see that she is definitely not

A person who is willing to let others manipulate his destiny.

Even if that person is her mother.

If the betrothal was really forcibly engaged, it aroused the rebellious psychology of Sun Ce's imperial sister. If the marriage was not guaranteed, the wife would lose her husband and the army would be lost. After all, you must know that there are still many die-hard Sun Ce among the officials in Soochow, and the spectacled imperial sister Zhou Yu is the biggest.

one.

God knows if Zhou Yu would hack himself to death in the middle of the night when he heard the news that he was engaged to Sun Ce...

For future considerations, Li Yalin made a very decisive decision. He must explain it clearly this time, but do not turn this celebration banquet into an engagement banquet, otherwise it will be really over!

"Oh? Yalin, you said I misunderstood? What did I misunderstand?"

Just when Li Yalin wanted to explain the misunderstanding, Yan Lian, who was originally in charge, had already walked down, came to him, and hugged his arm very intimately.

Logically speaking, if as she just said, she wants her eldest daughter Sun Ce to get engaged to Li Yalin, then she should be Li Yalin's future mother-in-law.

But the result was good. How could she do this? Why did it feel like the person engaged to Li Yalin was actually her?

Being hugged by Yan Lian, with his arms touching the soft chest, Li Yalin was in a mess and could not speak at all.

"Could it be that...you actually don't like my daughter, but you like...me?"

Yan Lian's voice was so low that only Li Yalin and Sun Ce who were right in front could hear the latter sentence. Because of this, Li Yalin was dumbfounded and Sun Ce's face changed drastically.

what the hell?

Li Yalin is indeed very messy. If he wants to say that he has a crush on Yan Lian, well, he can do it, but even if he does, he must not say it out loud, at least not in front of Sun Ce, right?

But no matter how much he complained in his heart, Yan Lian still said these words, and Sun Ce heard clearly from the side, and at the same time, she turned pale.

"If you, Yalin, like me, it's okay, as long as you don't mind that I have three daughters..."

"That's enough! Mother, don't say any more! Mr. Li Yalin and I are in love, and we just made a vow to create a great cause together! Mother, please be ready to bless us!"

Nani?

Sister Sun Ce! Don’t be impulsive!

Yes, after hearing Yan Lian's words, Sun Ce did become impulsive, because she knew that no matter what, she did not want to see a man younger than herself become her stepfather.

If she can, she will do her best to prevent this! Even if she has to pay for it her whole life!

In Sun Ce's view, the only thing that can stop his mother now is to recognize the marriage and allow her to marry Li Yalin.

Only in this way can we stop thinking about our mother!

So she did this. She mustered up the courage to step forward bravely and hugged Li Yalin's other arm. Her words were aggressive, and she directly staged a drama of competing with her mother for a man.

Oh my god...what is this?

"Oh? Xuelian, are you really in love with Yalin? Are you lying to me? Didn't Yalin just say it was a misunderstanding?"

Sun Ce indeed said and did it bravely, but when he looked at Yan Lian, she had a look of doubt on her face, as if she didn't believe that her daughter would really fall in love with a man.

"I... I think this is because Mr. Li Yalin is too thin-skinned and doesn't want to make this matter public too soon. But I don't think there is any problem with this. Mother, what you just announced is very good. When you choose a good and auspicious day,

I will get married to Mr. Li Yalin!"

Wait a moment!

Why did you get married?

Sun Ce had both said and done it, and it could be said that she was riding a tiger with difficulty. What's more, she couldn't stand her mother's suspicious eyes, so she could only bite the bullet and tell the lie.

But when she said this, Li Yalin became anxious. I said eldest sister, why do you dare to tell all the lies? Why do you think I am so thin-skinned? When have I, the mighty Demon King, ever been so thin-skinned?

You lie without even blushing. Did your mother pass it on to you?

"I……"

"Mom, I have something to say and want to talk to Mr. Li Yalin alone. Can you give me some private space?"

In this situation, Li Yalin certainly knew what the rhythm was. To be honest, he had to take a high look at Yan Lian, because from the beginning to the end, Sun Ce could not escape her scheme.

Yes, that’s right, this is a calculation!

Does Yan Lian really think that Li Yalin likes her? Does she really lack a man? Not necessarily. If Yan Lian really lacks a man, given her status, she would have met countless people, right? It’s still useful.

Should I wait until today?

So since she has no shortage of men, why is she so close to Li Yalin and deliberately showing it to Sun Ce?

Obviously, routines are all routines!

But by chance, Sister Sun Ceyu fell into the trap that her mother designed for her. Whether she saw through it or didn't expect it, she was riding a tiger now and said everything she should say and shouldn't.

.

If this continues, I'm afraid this engagement will become real. Li Yalin feels that if he keeps silent, he might enter the bridal chamber in a few days!

This was completely against his plan. Of course he couldn't get into the trap like Sun Ce. He had to explain this matter clearly!

However, before Li Yalin could finish saying "I", Sun Ce exerted a slight force and held his arm tighter. Not only that, she also expressed her hope to communicate with Li Yalin alone.

Does this mean that he is not allowed to speak?

"Of course it's no problem. You two are now an engaged couple. It's reasonable to have any little secrets that you don't want others to know."

As soon as Sun Ce opened his mouth, Yan Lian immediately waved his hand very generously, not minding giving the 'young couple' some privacy at all.

Anyway, her goal has been achieved, and there is no chance of any more accidents. If you have anything to say, you can just say it.

"Thank you, mother."

After receiving his mother's permission, Sun Ce did not let go of Li Yalin's hand, and kept holding him, pulling him to a quiet and uninhabited place in full view of all the guests at the banquet.

"Lord Sun Ce, what exactly are you trying to do? Don't you see that all of this is Yan Lian's plan?"

There were no outsiders around, and Li Yalin was no longer polite. He took his arm out of Sun Ce's arms and frowned deeply at the same time.

He didn't know what Sun Ce meant by doing this. Was she just going to make a mistake and become his fiancée?

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Li Yalin! It was not my intention to drag you into this quagmire, but I really have no choice now but to wrong Mr. Li Yalin."

From Li Yalin's attitude, Sun Ce also saw that he was not satisfied with today's engagement, and she really had no choice.

"I know what my mother means, but I understand my mother. She is a person who does what she says. If we really don't get engaged, maybe the person you marry next will really become my mother.

!”

As the saying goes, there is no better mother than a daughter. Sun Ce, the daughter of Yan Lian, knows exactly what kind of character Yan Lian is.

She has already seen that her mother wants to marry Li Yalin, because only in this way can the alliance between the two parties be more stable. This is also a common practice among aristocratic families.

With Li Yalin's current status, ordinary people are definitely not worthy of him. The most suitable person is Yan Lian, the current head of the Sun family, or her three daughters.

The third child, Sun Shangxiang, is still young, so there is nothing to say about it. The second child, Lian Hua, may not necessarily be the best candidate. After all, there are Yan Lian and Sun Ce above her.

Therefore, the best choice is undoubtedly Sun Ce, so once Sun Ce refuses, the first candidate Yan Lian will consider will definitely not be her second daughter Lianhua.

If not, she will go into battle herself!

So after thinking about it, Sun Ce still felt that if she wanted to get married, she must be the best candidate, so no matter what, she had to make this marriage a fait accompli. Otherwise, if there were variables, she might really be in trouble.

Get a stepfather.

There is no way, she only has this choice now!

"Master Sun Ce, you should know that getting married is not a trivial matter. If we don't have feelings for each other, it is impossible to be happy by forcing ourselves. Especially since you and I have special identities. If there are frictions or differences in the future, I'm afraid..."

Li Yalin figured it out. Sun Ce was now desperate and was ready to break the pot. Thinking about it from her standpoint, he also knew that her choice was understandable.

But even if it was such a good thing to take advantage of, he might not accept it easily. After all, in the final analysis, Sun Ce was just forced by the situation and could not give her heart to him.

Reluctance has no future. If possible, he would rather use his own charm to win over Sun Ce completely, rather than using this method to put a shackles on each other.
