Chapter-82: The Yates family wants to marry their daughter
The Cooper family is quite particular. They didn't say it was compensation, but as a gift. When relatives and friends go on a long journey, they will give some money as travel expenses which can be called a gift too.
He also pulled open the curtain of the carriage, which was filled with supplies listed on the gift list, "Then this carriage will be left behind." It's very sincere and there's nothing wrong with it. Wilson Lark handed the gift list to his eldest son, "What do you think?"
"It's all up to my father." Tom Lark felt a little complicated. No matter what, he had once expected and longed for it. He wants to live in harmony with his wife and have some lovely children.
But, don't drag the girl down. A real man will never worry about not having a wife. Wilson Lark sighed softly, "Wife, bring the marriage certificate."
Although Mary felt a little regretful, she believed that under the circumstances, the best outcome was for each of them to get married. Why should a daughter who had grown up in pampered love marry an exiled prisoner and go into exile with him?
When getting married, the most important thing is to match the two families' social status otherwise it will not be a happy one. Wilson Lark handed the marriage certificate to Butler Cooper and said.
"From now on, men and women marrying each other have nothing to do with each other. I wish Miss Cooper to marry a good man and live a peaceful and happy life." The Cooper family's housekeeper was somewhat moved.
Everyone said that Wilson Lark was a loser, but such a magnanimous mind was truly rare. He bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Master Wilson lark. Your son is a rare talent. He will surely marry a beautiful woman who is suitable for the family and live happily ever after."
The two families did not quarrel with each other and cancelled the marriage in a dignified manner. Butler Cooper stepped aside, looking like a bystander.
It was the Yates family's turn. The driver of another carriage jumped down, turned around and asked the people in the carriage to get out. They were a master and servant.
The girl was beautiful and gentle, slender and graceful, exuding a quiet temperament, but there was a hint of sadness between her eyebrows. The other was a maid, her eyes full of worry and her brows furrowed, looking like she was about to be executed.
The driver took the initiative to introduce, "I am the butler of the Yates family, and this is my fourth young lady." Fourth Miss Yates stepped forward gracefully and bowed, "Meet Uncle Lark and Aunt Lark…"
Her manners were perfect and her behavior was chaste and dignified. Mary personally stepped forward to help the girl up, holding her arm and looking her up and down. What a pretty girl, with an oval face, willow-shaped eyebrows, and a cherry mouth.
She looked delicate and fragile, and I felt pity for her. But, he looked gloomy. Her heart skipped a beat and her brows furrowed slightly. Wilson Lark was a little confused, "What is this...?"
Housekeeper Yates bowed and said respectfully, "According to the order of the head of the family, I am sending the fourth young lady here to get married, in order to complete the marriage alliance that was originally made."
Wilson Lark was shocked. It was totally beyond his expectations. Most families would simply cancel the engagement, like the Cooper family, and neither party owed the other anything. Or we can just delay it for a few years and see how the situation develops.
But this is the first time I have seen someone being sent here to get married. Mary was even more surprised. How could such a big matter as marriage be treated as a joke? "What? Get married? Did I say that wrong?"
Miss Celia Yates is a pure and innocent girl from a good family, but the Lark family is a family of exiles. Once she marries into the Lark family, she will become a criminal.
This is called marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog, but who can bear the gap between them? Have they really thought it through? Housekeeper of the Yates family looked serious.
"Our Yates family has a clean and honest family tradition. We keep our promises and will never be treacherous." Wilson Lark couldn't help but show admiration,
"I didn't expect Yates family head to be so noble. I admire him so much."
Wendy Lark, who was watching the whole process, pulled up her ears, finding it quite interesting. This Fourth Miss Yates is not a legitimate daughter, but she is better than a legitimate daughter.
Her mother was the cousin of head of the Yates family, and they were childhood sweethearts. They had been engaged for a long time, but fate played tricks on them, and the head of the Yates family was favored by the daughter of a high-ranking official.
The final result was that both sides made concessions. The head of the Yates family married the daughter of a high ranking official, and his cousin became a favorite mistress. The wife and mistress lived in harmony, creating a rare and beautiful story that was praised by the world.
When Wendy Lark heard this, she sneered at the official. He was talking about good things, but he was obviously a hypocrite. Although the Official was a high ranking official, he could directly impeach all officials.
It was Old Madam Lark who made the effort to facilitate this marriage for the second branch of the Lark family. He didn't even think about it. With the suppression that Old Madam Lark was doing to the second branch, how could she possibly arrange a good marriage for them?
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.
