Old Mrs. Bennett snorted coldly at the words, then took Bella Green's hand and once again resumed her kind demeanor.
"Bella, tell Grandma, what's going on here?" Old Mrs. Bennett inquired.
Bella Green knew that she was asking not out of doubt, but purely out of concern.
"The Green Family did indeed have a marriage contract with the Thornecroft Family, but the person in question has long been with the Green Family's adopted daughter, so naturally, the contract didn't fall on me."
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Bennett understood, though she wasn't privy to some of the Green Family's entanglements.
But from what Bella Green said, she could more or less guess some of it.
"So Mrs. Green is planning to marry both daughters to the Thornecroft Family? What is this, trying to imitate Ehuang and Nuying? Now, that would be bigamy in today's terms."
Old Mrs. Bennett snorted coldly. The words were a deliberate jab at Francesca Willis.
