Chapter 455 - 455: Persuading Old Madam Lin (1)Chapter 455: Persuading Old Madam Lin (1)

On the contrary, they would be on the same boat.
“Um…” Old Madam Lin was a little dissatisfied with her daughter’s unambitious attitude.
If she could give birth to a son and then be made the official wife, wouldn’t she be able to inherit the Liu family’s estate like the eldest young master?
Why did she take the initiative to back down?
Lin Lanhua glanced at Old Madam Lin. She had been with Old Madam Lin for many years, so how could she not know what her mother was thinking?
“Mother, without the protection of the eldest young master, even if I’m pregnant, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep it.” Lin Lanhua said to Old Madam Lin with a deep gaze.
Old Madam Lin’s body trembled when she heard that.
Lin Lanhua smiled bitterly.
“If not, why do you think Old Master has taken in so many concubines, but not a single child is born?”
She had heard that the second, fourth and fifth Concubine had been pregnant, but all of them had miscarried in the end.
There was really too much filth in a wealthy family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“It’s not that they couldn’t get pregnant, but that none of them have been able to successfully give birth to a child.”
“I’m just a peasant girl. Compared to the other concubines in the residence, I’m inferior.” Lin Lanhua said as hatred surged in her heart.
She was good-looking and smart, but why was she born into a poor family like the Lin family?
If her family background was slightly better and her maiden family was more capable, her situation in the Liu residence would be very different.
Although there was no matriarch in the Liu residence, the second concubine was the head of the household.
It was just because her family was rich.
The servants supported her, and the old master respected her.
“It’s a pity that Yuanshan doesn’t have any achievements. Otherwise, I could have some support and live a better life in the Liu residence.” Lin Lanhua said.
At this moment, she really hoped that Lin Yuanshan would be able to pass the exam.
Of course, that was not enough. He had to be at least a middle-ranked scholar to help her maintain her reputation in the Liu residence.
Old Madam Lin thought about it.
“It’s our fault.”
“However, Yuanshan studies hard and is talented. Next year, he will definitely pass.”
“At that time, you will be a junior scholar’s sister. Let’s see who dares to look down on you!”
At that time, she would also become a junior scholar’s mother.
At the thought of this, Old Madam Lin’s face lit up with pride.
Lin Lanhua looked at her with disdain.
So what if he passed?
In the past, she didn’t know about the imperial examination. Just like her family, she thought that it was a big deal to pass the examination.
However, after entering the Liu residence,she had interacted with Old Master and First Young Master and learned a lot.
It turned out that a junior scholar was nothing. Only when he passed the scholar examination could he be considered to have a reputation.
Not only would they be exempted from tax, but they also did not have to kneel when they saw the officials.
Therefore, she did not have much hope for her fifth brother to achieve fame.
Of course, she couldn’t say anything about this.
Firstly, it was to avoid angering her parents. Secondly, what if he was really lucky in the future and actually became a scholar?
Although her maternal family was weak, she still had to count on them.
“Yes, he will definitely succeed. Not only as a junior scholar, but also as a senior scholar!” Lin Lanhua said fawningly.
Old Madam Lin beamed when she heard that.

“Yes, of course!” Old Madam Lin with a smile.
“However, the Old Master won’t last long,” Lin Lanhua said.
Old Madam Lin was shocked.
“Didn’t you say…”
Lin Lanhua looked worried. Then, she whispered the situation to Old Madam Lin.
It turned out that Old Master Liu had survived the illness, but it was very difficult to make up for the deficit in his body.
All the concubines in the Liu residence did not have any children yet, so they were thinking of ways to do so.
Of course, she did too.
She had seen it with her own eyes. Before they performed their marital duties, he had to take medicine. And the dosage was increasing.
If he took too much, his body would only deteriorate faster.
“In that case, you have to hurry up!” Old Madam Lin said.
No matter how good her daughter’s relationship with the eldest young master was, Old Master Liu was the one she could rely on.
If Old Master Liu passed away, her daughter would not be able to leave him a son and a daughter. It would be hard to say what would become of her life in the Liu residence.
In particular, Old Madam Lin knew very well that when she married Lin Lanhua off, she had sold her to the Liu family..
