Over the past few days, Ding Mujie has repeatedly told himself not to think too much. After marrying Lin Wan, everything will develop in a good direction. But now, he has to think too much, so he said solemnly: "Xiang'er, don't worry, tell us what happened today from beginning to end, be more detailed, and don't miss any details."

Dingxiang wiped away her tears and recalled: "Today, Sister Lin and I made an appointment to go to her place to play. After entering the yard, I found that she was choosing jewelry, the gold and silver hairpins were placed one by one in the brocade box, which was so beautiful. I couldn't help but take a few more glances, and Sister Lin said she wanted to choose one for me."

Speaking of this, she was a little timid. Seeing that her brother was not angry, she continued: "I, I like those jewelry very much. I thought that Sister Lin was already my sister-in-law anyway, so it didn't matter, so she picked a silver hairpin. Sister Lin's maid said that I had a good vision and the things I picked were very exquisite. Somehow, she said that the old lady had a golden buyao of a hundred flowers and phoenixes to be placed in Aunt Shi. The golden buyao was truly a skill and beautiful. Not to mention that it was not common in the market, even in the palace. Brother, you know that Aunt Shi is from Miaojiang, and is especially good at making silver jewelry. She also prepares a potion to wash the old gold and silver jewelry as bright as new. The old lady gave Aunt Shi to Aunt Shi, and asked her to clean it, and she would send it back tomorrow."

Dingxiang started to cry again and choked, "I was curious, so I begged Sister Lin to take out the Jinbuyao for me to take a look. Brother, you have to believe me, I really only plan to take a look, not ready to get started. But when Jinbuyao took it out, a maid suddenly told me that the Jinbuyao phoenix was made like a real thing. When I was wearing it on my head, my wings and tail feathers would move, as if I was about to fly to nine heavens. I felt a little itchy when I heard this, so I picked up Jinbuyao and shook it, wanting to see how the wings and tail feathers moved, but as soon as I shook it twice, the wings were broken!"

Dingxiang seemed to be frightened, and she cried even more and couldn't breathe: "I, although I was very anxious at the time, I was not worried. I just thought I could just pay Jin Buyao's money to the old lady. However, several of Sister Lin's maids told me that Jin Buyao was a treasure brought by the old lady from her family. It was very spiritual and could keep the family's marriage smooth and lucky life. It has been passed down for nine generations. After the old lady's hundred years, she will send it back to her parents' home and continue to pass it down. The meaning is particularly different."

"I was frightened when I heard this. I don't know what to do. Brother, you have to believe me. If I had known that Jin Buyao was so expensive, I would never touch it no matter how curious I was." At this point, her tone slowed down a little, "Fortunately, I still have Sister Lin to protect her. She immediately put Buyao back in the box and asked me to return home quickly and pretend that nothing had happened. She went to the old lady to apologize and take on this matter for me. The two maids secretly sent me to the corner gate, sighing along the way, and looked very bad. I felt guilty in my heart, so I asked them what would happen to Sister Lin. They said that Sister Lin was not favored by the old lady, and this was even worse. A family law was indispensable. Fortunately, Sister Lin would get married soon, and it was only half a year before being rejected by the old lady. I endured it and passed it."

Dingxiang rubbed her eyes and continued, "My heart is twisted. Sister Lin is my sister-in-law, how can I let her suffer on my behalf? After all, the old lady is her family. Even if she gets married, she still has to go to the old lady to be filial. If they have a bad relationship, how embarrassed Sister Lin would be at her parents' home. But I am different. I am just an outsider. Even if the old lady hates me, it will have no effect on me, so I walked back and apologized to the old lady myself."

"The old lady was very angry and called me a small family. She couldn't stand other people's good things. She also blamed the general for choosing a relative like ours. It was not embarrassing to lose it. I was ashamed and ashamed, and I wished to open a crack in the ground and drill down. Sister Lin didn't dare to say a word. Later, Miss Lin came and picked up Bu Yao and looked at it. Nine was the most important thing. After nine generations, the spiritual energy was exhausted. God destined that it could not be passed on anymore. The reason why I ruined Bu Yao was that God borrowed my hand but this relationship had nothing to do with me."

Speaking of this, Dingxiang finally stopped crying and said gratefully: "The old lady has always liked the eldest lady the most, and she also believed in Buddhism and fortune-telling. After hearing this, she immediately stopped getting angry and did not punish us. She just sighed and sent me away from the Lin Mansion. But I was really sorry. After this, the old lady would definitely underestimate our family and underestimate my brother. I was still in trouble after all."

Ding's mother hurriedly carried her daughter into her arms to comfort her. After a while, she sighed: "I didn't expect that the young lady is quite good. If she hadn't helped you today, it would be so easy for you to get out! You can't scold the young lady anymore, and you have to go to her to thank her in person. Of course, Wan'er is also very good. She knows how to protect you at critical moments. In the future, she will marry into our family. You must respect her and listen to her."

"Mom, I know that the eldest lady is a good person. I used to blame her. Sister Wan'er is better, just like my own sister!" After this incident, Dingxiang's impression of Lin Dan was much better than before, and she became more and more respectful of Lin Wan.

Ding Mujie rubbed his sister's head and followed a few words of comfort. After returning to the study, he sat by the window and pondered. Various complex and difficult-to-distinguished emotions flashed in his eyes from time to time. From daytime to late at night, he finally walked out, and his back looked particularly tired.

The next day, he spent a lot of money to buy a century-old ginseng to the Lin Mansion to apologize. Although he was very grateful to Lin Dan, he did not dare to meet her, so he only asked his sister to go to the backyard to express her gratitude personally. When he left Lin Mansion, Ding's mother secretly asked him if he wanted to meet Lin Wan. For some reason, he refused for the first time.

After returning, he studied poetry and books hard to prepare for the upcoming imperial examinations, while carefully preparing for the wedding. However, he had just been calm for two months, but was caught off guard by something. Lin Wan was kidnapped by bandits on the way to burn incense. Fortunately, King Kang passed by and saved her. But the two fell off the cliff on the way to escape, and were found by the guards a day and a night.

The lonely man and widowed woman spent a night together in the wilderness. It was really not nice to spread. After being rescued, King Kang proposed to take Lin Wan as a concubine in order to protect her reputation. If he hadn't already had a wife, he might have carried a sedan chair to marry Lin Wan.

The Lin family naturally would not agree. Lin Wan herself was unwilling to be a concubine, so she fell ill after returning. On the contrary, Ding's mother felt like a thorn in her heart after hearing about this incident, and she could not pull it out. Lin Wan's reputation has been ruined. Marrying her will not only be of no use to her son's career, but will also make him a laughing stock in the capital. What's more, King Kang also likes Lin Wan. Marrying her is against King Kang, which is even more unfavorable to her son's future...

Ding's mother thought about it and always felt that the best solution was to break off the engagement at her own initiative, so she went to discuss it with her son. She knew that her son had been in love with Lin Wan since she was a child and had long regarded her as her wife. If possible, she wouldn't want to see them tie the knot and grow old until they grow old? But now this situation cannot tolerate the Ding family sticking to it.

If the Ding family does not break off the engagement, others will say that their son would rather be a turtle turtle for the sake of the Lin family's power; if they break off the engagement, others will call him ruthless and unrighteous. No matter what the son does, it is wrong, but compared with the turtle turtle, it is still better to be ruthless and unrighteous. Men can be ruthless but not without backbone, and they will be looked down upon.

Thinking of this, Ding's mother's expression became more firmer, but before she could speak, the exhausted Ding Mujie had already said first: "Mom, I'll go to Lin Mansion to see Lin Wan. Let's talk about the divorce when I come back, don't worry."

But in just two days, her son was so haggard that he was so haggard that he was called Ding's mother. She didn't want to make her son embarrassed anymore, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I won't urge you, you can do whatever you want."

Ding Mujie smiled with his lips, but his eyes were particularly dim.

---

In the afternoon, Ding Mujie, who had prepared the gift, came to the door. General Lin felt ashamed of him and saw that he proposed to visit Lin Wan alone. Although he knew that Yu Li was not in harmony, he agreed without hesitation.

This was the first time Ding Mujie visited Lin Wan's boudoir, but he didn't have any longing or joy in his heart. He thought along the way, his expression was very depressed, and the maid who led the way did not even dare to breathe. For some reason, Mr. Ding used to be very handsome and elegant, and he felt very comfortable to get along, but now Mr. Ding is quite majestic and dare not get close to him.

"Young master, the lady is inside, please come in." The two maids lifted the bamboo curtains and said carefully.

Ding Mujie walked in without saying a word and saw Lin Wan lying on the bed as if she had withered. She felt a sense of time and space disorder. In her previous life, she was abandoned by King Kang, and she looked like this. He habitually held Lin Wan's fingertips, but she avoided them, and couldn't help laughing on his face.

"Are you here to break the engagement?" Lin Wan turned her head, as if she was very desperate.

Ding Mujie looked at her for a moment, not letting the slightest change of expression on her face: "No, I came here to tell you that as long as you insist on marrying me, no matter how outsiders talk about it, no matter how King Kang forced me, I will always marry you and return home. Don't worry, as long as I am willing, the general and the wife will definitely not let you marry someone else, even if they are princes."

Lin Wan turned her head, feeling painful: "But I, but my reputation has been ruined, don't you mind at all?"

Ding Mujie shook his head: "Don't mind. No matter what happens, I will marry you, and I will cherish you and take good care of you, unless you don't want to marry you. Wan'er, what do you think, are you willing to marry me?"

Speaking of this, Ding Mujie couldn't help but think to himself: "Are you willing?", he should have asked in person as early as in his previous life.

Lin Wan was already crying and choked and said, "I am willing, but now I am like this. What's the face to marry you? If you marry me, how will those outside arrange you?"

She kept saying that she was thinking about her fiancé, and she didn't expect that she was very happy. Ding Mujie should have been very happy. If he had been in his previous life, he would probably have been moved to tears. But now Ding Mujie is not Ding Mujie when he was young, but the Prime Minister who has been in the officialdom for decades and has turned his hands into clouds and rain.

He stared at Lin Wan and said slowly: "No matter how outsiders talk about it, as long as you are willing to marry, I will marry Wan'er. Since you have agreed, I will discuss with General Lin and advance our wedding date. Three days later, you will wait for me to welcome you with the eight-carrying sedan chair." After that, he got up and left.
