Chapter 657 - 668: Setting You Up on a Blind Date
"Aunt, you’re arranging a marriage for me? What do you mean by that?"
Madam Lin said, "At your age, you’re still unmarried, leaving only you. Without father or mother, now that you have come to take refuge in the Lin Residence, if I, as your aunt, don’t arrange it for you, who will? That will be all; a young lady like you shouldn’t worry about these matters. Just wait for my good news."
"It’s not that..." Gu Youyou stammered anxiously. She had barely managed to dodge the topic when the Empress and Empress Dowager brought up her marriage last time, so why was her aunt still trying to find her a match?
"With my current illness... it might flare up at any time. My situation is not suitable for marriage, aunt. Have you told them about my condition?"
Madam Lin spoke with assurance, "Rest assured, there are plenty who want to ingratiate themselves with the Lin Family, and with the Empress and the Crown Prince. With the fact that I am personally talking about this match, no one would dare to reject you."
Gu Youyou felt like she was about to cry.
The more her aunt said, the more frightened she became. There were plenty who sought to cling to those with power. Those vile people would jump at the chance to marry a woman from a noble family, even if she died soon after the marriage, as it would still help them climb the ranks and amass wealth.
Gu Youyou did not want to become a tool for someone else’s promotion and wealth.
