"You and Zhou Liang broke off your engagement half a year ago. If we don’t settle our marriage now, we will surely suffer from gossip. Not to mention the commotion created by Clan Chief Ya today. The villagers will definitely know about us."
"If we don’t set our engagement at this time, your grandparents will lose face in the village."
Lin Caisang puffed her cheeks, looking at Ya Molian.
He was right. Their affair had been revealed, and by tomorrow the whole village would know. If they didn’t settle their marriage, people would call her, Lin Caisang, a frivolous person, and if Ya Molian doesn’t propose, he would also be criticized.
"Or is it that you’re unwilling?"
Seeing her silent for a long time, Ya Molian got a little nervous and asked.
Lin Caisang quickly shook her head.
She already understood Ya Molian quite well by now, and they had cleared up everything that needed to be discussed. She was naturally willing.
"Only...just a few days ago Qing’er and Brother Guman’s marriage was settled. If we bring up our marriage now, wouldn’t that be bad for them?"
Ya Molian asked back.
Only this girl could come up with such an excuse. In other families, it would be considered a double joy for two daughters to get engaged at the same time. It was perfectly normal and would earn them praise for their good daughters and family traditions.
Yet she thought it was not good? Was it really just because of this?
"Sang’er, do you have something to tell me? Huh?" he asked.
When questioned by him, Lin Caisang choked a bit and subconsciously lowered her head in guilt.
How could she say this? Should she tell him that she felt guilty because he had shared all his affairs with her, while she kept many secrets from him?
"Alright, I admit, I do have something to tell you. If I don’t say it, even if we get engaged, I won’t feel at ease."
She raised a hand, harshly rubbed her face, and showed him a bitter face, saying.
"Is it about your medical skills? Or your quirky ideas?" asked Ya Molian.
Lin Caisang let out a chuckle and pursed her red lips.
"You think I am like your grandparents? Thinking that whatever skills you have are natural and expected?" Ya Molian lifted a hand and lightly tapped her forehead, saying.
Are her grandparents really as naive as Brother Molian said?
They just doted on their granddaughter. Even if they had any doubts, those were replaced by the importance of their granddaughter in their hearts. Their granddaughter was the most important!
"So, do you want to hear it? It’s very bizarre, not as straightforward as your background," she asked him.
"You tell, I listen," Ya Molian said.
Lin Caisang coughed lightly, trying to keep her voice as calm as possible.
"When I was buried alive by the Chen Family, the real Lin Caisang was already gone."
As expected, the girl’s explanation was completely incomprehensible to him. What did she mean by ’gone’? And what exactly was the ’real Lin Caisang’?
"Don’t interrupt, let me finish."
As he tried to ask a question, Lin Caisang raised her hand to stop him, and he immediately closed his mouth.
