Chapter 41 Sell yourself?
Two letters, one with the royal emblem printed on a golden vine background, and one printed with a silver thorn pattern on a black background.
Seeing everyone's attention, Morton Dao'er said, "When I entered the palace yesterday, His Majesty gave me a letter, which contained a proposal for a marriage between His Highness Lan Zetong and our Morton family."
The children, except Meili, were all a little surprised. After all, only direct children could be married to the royal family, and the two girls in the family were still young.
Qingtian was surprised and then guessed that Lan Zetong would most likely choose Yilan. If it were the real Yilan, she would probably be very happy...
Morton paused and continued: "Lan Zetong's preference is Yilan. I think you should understand what it means to marry the royal family." After speaking, he mainly looked at his eldest son Dougal.
Dougal, who is seventeen years old, will be the future leader of the Morton family. He must have sensitivity and a larger picture than ordinary people.
Seeing his son nod, Morton Daoer pushed the second letter forward, and then frowned, "Yilan, this letter was sent early this morning, and it's also about you."
oh? It only took Qingtian three seconds to think of who sent the letter.
Seeing his youngest daughter's indifferent expression, Morton frowned even more tightly, "When did you agree to become an ascetic monk of the Divine Chosen Group?"
As soon as the words fell, the two brothers looked at their sister in disbelief.
"No way, the ascetic monks of the Chosen Group! Yilan, what are you thinking about? Doesn't that mean selling yourself to those magicians?" The second brother Zam was emotional.
"Zam, watch your words!" Morton Doer reminded.
Dougal was also very anxious, thinking that his younger sister might have been deceived.
"Yilan, you may not know. Ascetics must completely give up their secular identity and practice hard in the temple for more than fifteen years before they can become priests. They cannot change their faith or leave the temple for life. They must obey the arrangements of the temple."
Kasna couldn't hold it any longer: "Tell me, which bastard deceived you into agreeing. Was it that Elder Sumu?"
Tsk tsk, she is indeed a mother. She is so smart. She is indeed that bastard. Qingtian gave Kasna a thumbs up in her heart, but she still had to deal with it.
She said sincerely: "It's not a lie, I'm just grateful. They saved Meili and me. And I've always wanted to become a priest, or even a saint, you should know."
"If you want to become a priest, you can go through the reserve team selection of the Divine Chosen Group. You were in the reserve team before, so you don't need to become an ascetic at all!"
Kasna's voice became louder and louder, "And do you know who the ascetics are generally? They are condemned orphans! They are selected dead warriors! They are raised female slaves!"
"That's enough!" Morton Dao'er interrupted his emotional wife, then turned to look at his daughter: "Yilan, you are still young. I suggest you consider joining the Chosen Group when you are older. This baptismal confirmation letter I can pretend I don’t know.”
Damn Su Mucheng, he allowed himself to die, and even allowed himself to persuade his family to agree to his death. It was really him!
Qingtian delayed him a thousand times in her heart, but she still had to say: "I have signed the consent form. Elder Su Mu also promised to give me special treatment and enough freedom. As a devout believer of the goddess, I am willing to suffer build."
Bang, Morton Daoer slapped his hand on the stage, "Nonsense! He is using the reputation of our Morton family to support the Chosen Group, and you were just deceived by him!"
"I am willing to be used! And if he hadn't taken action this time..."
Qingtian couldn't speak anymore. He took a breath and yelled: "If he hadn't taken action, Meili and I might have died in the last accident. So, don't try to persuade us anymore!"
The scene fell silent, and everyone didn't know what to say for a while.
Kasna felt that things might not be that simple. Her daughter had never been so tough. "Yilan, tell me if it was that bastard who threatened you!"
"No! Mother, I have made up my mind."
Qingtian closed her eyes and tried her best to endure it, for fear that she would not be able to hold back and curse Su Mucheng together with Kasna.
Morton Daoer also realized that things were not simple. Yilan had never been an ordinary child. Maybe saving the sisters and becoming an ascetic was a deal.
Thinking more deeply, could this accident be a conspiracy...
After the trial, the royal family continued to weaken the prestige of the Chosen Group, and Yilan's previous withdrawal as a noble child severely damaged their face.
If you want to re-attract young people from the upper echelons of the aristocracy, the best way is to let her rejoin, and as the most devout ascetic! This is equivalent to the Lamorton family clearing the way for them!
What a good plan!
I have to say that in front of politicians like Morton Dower, Sunny Day is still too young. Su Mu had two intentions, Qingtian and Morton Daoer each understood one of them.
Thinking of this, Morton had a headache. The direction of public opinion in this incident was that the Chosen Group rescued the Morton family. Once they broke the contract, they might use this to criticize the family.
In addition, once there may be a second time, they always have a way to force Yilan to obey!
The only reason is that this generation of the Morton family is not strong enough. It's because I didn't do a good job, and I can't find any evidence that they took action! It was me who made my daughter stand on the edge of the cliff...
"Dao'er!"
"Father!"
Amidst the screams, Morton Daoer fainted on the dining table.
"Quickly, let the housekeeper call for a doctor!" Kasna and several children gathered around him in fear.
Ram quickly rushed out to find Nek, and Dougal picked up his father and carried him to the lounge.
Qing Tian did not expect that the seemingly resolute Duke Morton would suddenly collapse. She and Mei Li followed their mother anxiously.
Ram came up from behind and glared at Qingtian: "If you were more sensible, this wouldn't happen!"
When Meili heard what he said, she gave him a hard push: "You don't know anything, so just stop talking!"
Ram was stunned by the push. Meili had never been so cruel to him.
"Okay, please stop making noise and be quiet." Kasna turned around and stopped the children from making noise. "Except for Dougal, everyone will go back to the house first. I will tell you the diagnosis results."
Several children had to leave temporarily.
It was not until noon that the steward sent someone to inform them that the Duke had woken up and was fine.
Qingtian breathed a sigh of relief. In her opinion, Morton Dao'er might have a heart or blood pressure problem, but this was Lanze. Without advanced medical treatment, she didn't know whether the healing power would work.
No matter what, Su Mucheng will not give up, and the preparations must continue.
Qingtian asked Neke for help and went to the manor's daily necessities storage, kitchen freezer, and laundry room.
After Morton Daoer woke up, he ate something, rested for a while, and then went to the study. He called Neke in to ask about Yilan's current situation.
"Why did she go to those places?" Morton was a little confused.
Neke didn't know what Miss Yilan wanted to do. "I wasn't sure. She just said she was interested and wanted to take a look, and she didn't let me follow."
Morton Daoer lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked him to call Yilan over.
