Chapter 239: You’re the Most Important With that, Liu Zijin left.

Perhaps, in the beginning, he chose to marry into the Wang family because of Wang Huilan’s family background. Although County Magistrate Wang was a small official, he managed it well and was very rich. Wang Huilan was also an only daughter. He chose her for a purpose.

However, as they spent more and more time together, as their understanding of each other deepened, he developed feelings for her. No matter how they started, the outcome was that they were already married. Wang Huilan’s personality was to his liking. As long as she continued to be like this, they could live a lifetime together.

Liu Zijin had a clear distinction between a wife who spent her entire life with her and a wife who only cared about benefits.

For the sake of benefits, he wouldn’t care about Wang Huilan’s health. If she wanted to give birth, he didn’t care.

But to live a lifetime, he had to put her body first. They could have many more children later.

The servant brought Liu Zijin to the side courtyard.

Madam Yin sat down beside Wang Huilan, took her hand, and patted it. “Huilan, if you have anything to say, say it to me. Your mother passed away early, and your father dotes on you. No matter what, he’s still a man. If there’s anything you can’t say to him, just treat me as your biological mother and tell me.”

“It’s about your health. As your aunt, I want you safe. You’re your father’s only child. I’m sure he wants you safe, too.”

Madam Yin looked at Wang Huilan gently, her eyes filled with love.

Wang Huilan pursed her lips and tears fell. She choked and said, “Aunt, I’m afraid I can’t keep him.”

She had fallen in love with Liu Zijin, so she couldn’t be rational anymore.

She always felt that she and Liu Zijin only had three to five years. If she had a bond with him in three to five years, she might not have to leave him in the future.

But if there was nothing between them, what could she use to keep him?

Madam Yin sighed and said, “Child, you don’t have to rely on a child to keep someone. That person has you in his heart. If he doesn’t change, you don’t need to keep him. He’s right beside you.”

“If he changes, you won’t be able to keep him no matter what. Brother choosing this husband for you is indeed the best. It’s normal for you to be tempted.”

Madam Yin wiped Wang Huilan’s tears with a handkerchief. Her niece did not have good looks, but she was good inside.

“Aunt, woo…”

Wang Huilan turned around and hugged Madam Yin, crying.

Madam Yin gently patted Wang Huilan’s back and sighed. “It’s hard being a woman.”

She had spent her entire life circling around men and being despised by them.

However, this was an inescapable fate.

Liu Zijin was dignified, gentle, refined, and talented. It would be strange if Wang Huilan did not like such a man.

Those who were tempted first were always sadder.

“Huilan, listen to me. Without Liu Zijin, you can still marry someone else in the future. If you lose weight, at least you won’t be slandered by those scholars who have been studying for a few years. At that time, even if you marry an ordinary person, you will still have confidence.”

Because she was fat, the inferiority complex was engraved in Wang Huilan’s bones.

She had fallen in love with Liu Zijin now and wanted to have a bond with him. It was normal for her to lose her mind.

As her aunt, Madam Yin had to analyze the pros and cons for her. Madam Yin patted Wang Huilan’s back gently and said gently and firmly, “You must lose weight. Liu Zijin’s talent is destined for him to go higher. If you lose weight, even if you’re not beautiful, you’ll still be dignified. If you two are separated, others can save you a lot of embarrassment by talking about you and him instead of putting Liu Zijin on a pedestal and belittling you.”

Wang Huilan sniffed. “Aunt, my heart is in a mess. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to choose. I’m greedy.”

When Madam Yin heard Wang Huilan’s greedy words, she sighed. “Huilan, what aunt said just now is something that might happen in a bad situation. I see that Liu Zijin is humble and polite. He seems to be interested in you.”

“Don’t despise yourself. Putting aside your appearance, isn’t your pure heart precious? No matter what, you still have three to five years of being husband and wife with him. These three to five years are not three to five days. It’s not like he doesn’t have a heart. If you treat him sincerely, he will feel it.”

“At that time, you also lost weight. The two of you had accumulated feelings for each other over time and could be compatible with him. With a deep relationship, having children was a matter of course. If you were to be stubborn now and really get pregnant, you would lose your life and all of this would be gone.”

Madam Yin persuaded her patiently. Only she could say these things.

Ever since she fell ill, she rarely returned to her mother’s house. This child, who was harmed by Madam Tang, had caused her to suffer many rumors.

She did not want to go back and implicate her brother.

Her health was getting worse and worse. She didn’t even go to Wang Huilan’s wedding. Now that everything was fine, she naturally hoped that Wang Huilan was fine too.

Wang Huilan cried and nodded. “Thank you, Auntie. I know what to do.”

“I’ll take my medicine and lose weight. The gods made me fated to be with him, and we’ll always be husband and wife. No one can take that away.”

Even though she was still very sad, she decided what to choose.

She liked Liu Zijin very much, but she had a family she couldn’t leave behind.

She would treat Liu Zijin sincerely. If this couldn’t keep him, she wouldn’t force it.

There was more than just Liu Zijin in her life.

Wang Huilan wiped her tears.

Madam Yin smiled. She reached out to hold Wang Huilan’s face and said with a smile, “Good child, as expected of the daughter of our family. With such a tenacious heart, you won’t lose.”

Wang Huilan smiled embarrassedly with red eyes. “Thank you, Auntie.”

“Alright, alright. Go down and rest. Aunt is a little tired and wants to rest. Teach your cousin when you’re free. She’s fourteen years old and will be married in two years. Teach her.”

Madam Yin was a little tired. She was seriously injured and should have been resting in bed. She went out today only to send Su Xiaolu off.

This was all destined. Otherwise, why would Wang Huilan and the others come so coincidentally?

The onlooker sees more clearly than the people themselves. Madam Yin saw it more clearly than Wang Huilan. She felt that this niece-in-law and niece would have a long relationship as husband and wife. This could not be broken in three to five years.

But one never knew. One never knew what might happen until the end.

Wang Huilan nodded and wiped her tears. She stood up and said, “Aunt, you’re not in good health. Father asked me to bring some medicinal herbs for you to recuperate. You have to rest well. Also, Father asked me to hand this letter to you personally.”

Wang Huilan took out a letter and handed it to Madam Yin.

She curtsied and withdrew.

Madam Yin got up and returned to the main courtyard. She didn’t open the envelope until she was inside the house.

The letter she’d sent not long ago also spoke of what had happened in her home, recounting much of the pain and the choices she’d made.

Now that her brother had replied, Madam Yin was eager to see it.
