Chapter-83: abandoned Celia Yates
There must be some story behind this. She made a brief analysis and the most likely possibility was that the wife of the official had done something behind the scenes. Harmony between wife and mistress is just a man's fantasy.
They fight to the death for profit, children and favor. Miss Yates is the fourth child in the family. Her older sister and two older brothers are all legitimate children. She had a son and a daughter born to a mistress, and the son is the youngest.
It looks quite regular, but when you taste it carefully, it tastes wrong. Housekeeper Yates's eyes were filled with elation. "I will hand the Fourth Young Miss over to the Lark family right now. Please treat her well."
Wilson Lark and his wife looked at each other, somewhat bewildered, not knowing what to do. The eldest daughter-in-law left, so the second daughter-in-law came first? This is also not in accordance with the rules.
Besides, how can you hold a wedding while in exile? You can't just have a casual ceremony and call it a day. A wedding is a major event in life, how can it be taken lightly? The situation froze for a moment.
Wendy Lark looked at the silent woman and broke the silence with a clear cough. "Miss Celia Yates, are you willing to marry my second brother?" Everyone looked over there, and Jerry Lark's eyes lit up slightly.
This was his fiancée. She was beautiful and gentle, just the type he liked. Miss Celia Yates lowered her head and said nothing. Wendy Lark sighed softly, she didn't want to! The light in Jerry Lark's eyes gradually dimmed, and he said softly.
"Dad, Mom, a forced marriage is not good, so don't force it." This cannot be blamed on the girl. The road to exile is full of dangers and one could lose his life at any time. How could a delicate girl endure such hardship?
"Take your fourth Miss back home. She will only suffer if she follows me." Fourth Miss Yates raised her head suddenly, looking surprised. Seeing their son's firm attitude, Wilson Lark and his wife discussed it for a while,
"Butler Yates, we understand the Yates family's attitude. We are very grateful for the Yates family's kindness and generosity. Let's call off this marriage and take the girl back." It would be fine if they didn't give them compensation.
Their conditions are much better now and they don't have to rely on those things to survive. Butler Yates firmly disagreed, "This is the master's order I have no right to make my own decision."
"Take care of yourself miss fourth." He bowed to her stuffed two packages into the maid's hands, jumped onto the carriage and waved to Butler Cooper, who jumped on. Just like that, the two of them drove away.
Miss Celia Yates watched the carriage leave with red eyes, shivering in the autumn wind. The maid stood beside her, her face pale and filled with despair of being abandoned. Wendy Lark's mouth twitched.
Is this marrying off a daughter or throwing away a burden? Don't you even give her a dowry? The people in the second house were so confused that they just abandoned the person and ran away?
What kind of nonsense is this? Mary couldn't bear to see this, "Miss Yates, I'll ask someone to take you back." Miss Yates's eyes were wet as she whispered softly. "There's no going back."
From the moment she left home, she was like water spilled out. She forced herself to cheer up and forced out a gentle smile, "Aunt, I am a member of the Lark family in this life, and I will be a ghost of the Lark family after I die. I will be filial to you and uncle in the future."
This was the path her father arranged for her, she had no choice. Mary couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, she just patted her arm and said, "Don't be afraid, we are not mean people. If we have a drink, we will give you half of it."
Fourth Miss Yates smiled with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, auntie…." Mary was very soft hearted. She was just a young girl who had just come of age. She was away from her parents and family at such a young age and came to them alone.
She must have been very scared. Be nicer to her in the future. The sun was already high in the sky and time was wasted, so Lord Jeff was anxiously urging them to set off. If it's any later, we'll have to sleep outdoors in the mountains.
The Lark family's second branch was in a bit of a mess, and they didn't know how to arrange things for Fourth Miss Yates and her servants. But the official was in a hurry, so Wendy Lark thought for a moment and said.
"We'll talk about it later. Mother, come over and share a carriage with me. Miss Celia Yates and her servant will share a carriage, and Guard Leon will be the driver."
This is also to avoid suspicion. "Big Brother and Second Brother, you two go to the Cooper family's carriage and protect the supplies." They had one extra carriage, which was more than enough. "Dad, just go and drive the mule cart."
She arranged everything for everyone clearly, and everyone immediately took their positions and got used to it. Only Miss Fourth Yates and her servant looked at the scene in astonishment and they were unable to recover for a long time after getting on the carriage.
The servant looked at the exquisitely decorated carriage and felt a little relieved. "Miss, how come the Lark family has so many carriages? Where did they come from?"
The conditions were actually quite good, which was completely different from the shabby situation she had imagined. Miss Yates looked out the window. There were a few carriages in the procession, but not many.
