Lin Xueqing was completely confused, "Who is the fourth prince?"
She knew that there was a fourth prince in Qian Kingdom, but she had never seen him.
Why did that man marry her?
Lin Boyan pulled Lin Xueqing into the room and sat down, sighing deeply, "It's all my fault that I insisted on staying in the capital as an official. I didn't make any plans for your marriage in advance."
Lin Xueqing looked at Lin Shuzhi, her eyes suddenly turned red, "Dad, I don't want to marry the fourth prince. He will have many women."
The answer to this question is self-evident.
Because Duanmu Chen hired Lin Xueqing to be his concubine.
And this matter, no matter from which angle you look at it, is completely unacceptable to Lin Shuzhi and Lin Boyan.
Even if Duanmu Chen asked Lin Xueqing to be his wife, they would not want to.
With a family of four and such a precious girl, how can we send her to the royal family that eats people without spitting out their bones?
"Dad, I'm resigning and we're going back to my hometown." Lin Boyan said with a serious face.
Lin Shuzhi frowned, "Now that things have happened, if you do this, you will only offend the fourth prince, and the emperor will think that the Lin family does not know how to promote. By then, the result will be even worse."
Moreover, Lin Bojun had offended the second prince before.
"Then we can't let my little sister marry into the royal family!" Lin Boyan looked angry. At this moment, he didn't care at all whether his future would be tied up because of Lin Xueqing's marriage. Those were secondary.
Lin Xueqing was very confused. Her father and brother were both her pride, but she always felt that she was just an ordinary person.
She never thought that one day, this kind of thing would happen to her.
"Don't be afraid, dad won't let you jump into the fire pit." Lin Shuzhi comforted his daughter, but he was only calm on the surface. At this moment, he didn't even know whether to regret his willful resignation or to let his two sons stay in the capital.
If it is the former, he may not be so passive now that he has made a name for himself, but at the same time, his daughter may be targeted by more people...
"Xiao Liang..." Lin Boyan suddenly remembered Su Liang and said, "She seems to have a good relationship with the fourth prince. Can you ask her to help the fourth prince give up the idea of marrying his younger sister?"
At other times, Lin Shuzhi and Lin Boyan didn't want to cause trouble to Su Liang, but now they really have nothing to do. They have no way out, because Lin Bojun saved Qin Yujin and let the Duke of Qin come forward. The only one they know can talk to the fourth prince. Yes, only Su Liang.
"Sister Su beat the second prince at the Huguo Temple today..." Lin Xueqing said in a low voice, "The second prince deserves it, he has evil intentions against sister Su!"
Lin Shuzhi's expression condensed. The fourth prince Duanmu Chen and the second prince Duanmu Ao had never dealt with them.
"You guys are at home, don't go out, I'll go find Liang Yatou and ask." Lin Shuzhi stood up and walked out.
After a while, Lin Xueqing suddenly came back to her senses, "Sister Su is moving today and is no longer in the teahouse!" But after chasing her out, Lin Shuzhi had already gone far, and Lin Xueqing didn't know where Su Liangxin's residence was.
…
Zhongxinhou Mansion.
Xing Yusheng supported Mrs. Xing, and the grandfather and grandson got out of the car and were still talking to Lin Xueqing.
It was probably Mrs. Xing who said that Xing Yusheng said that those words of praise were right to him.
"Mother." Xing Ji walked towards her, his eyes passed over Xing Yusheng, and he saluted Mrs. Xing.
Mrs. Xing said cheerfully, "You want to go out?"
Xing Ji nodded, "The emperor has arranged an errand."
It's not a good job. It seems simple, but in fact it can easily lead to big problems if you're not careful.
Mrs. Xing looked at Xing Yusheng, "You go back first, I have something to say with your father."
Xing Yusheng nodded and left.
"Mom, if it's not an urgent matter, let's wait until I get back to talk about it," Xing Ji said.
Mrs. Xing hummed softly, "Urgent."
Xing Ji sighed softly and backed away. He supported Mrs. Xing and sent her back in person.
"Yu'er is not young anymore, what are your plans for his marriage?" Mrs. Xing asked.
Xing Ji was stunned for a moment, "The Qin family will make arrangements for him. As long as my father-in-law and uncle think it's good, I don't have any objections."
Mrs. Xing glared at Xing Ji, "It's a relief for you! Yu'er was not born to you?"
Xing Ji looked helpless, "Mom, even if we want to plan a marriage for Yu Sheng, we still have to go through the Qin family."
Mrs. Xing nodded, "The Qin family has passed the test. It's your turn to step forward."
Xing Ji frowned, "Mother means..."
"Your father-in-law and brother-in-law have found a good girl for Yu'er. I saw it today and I'm very satisfied." Mrs. Xing said, "This matter needs to be settled as soon as possible. If Yu'er and his uncle come forward, it will be a disaster."
It seems that there is no one left in our Xing family, so go and propose marriage to Yu'er."
Xing Ji was confused, "Which lady?"
"Lin family, Lin Shuzhi's daughter." Mrs. Xing said, "What do you think?"
Xing Ji's expression changed slightly, "The Lin family is naturally good, but Lin Shuzhi doesn't know about this, right?"
"I only mentioned it in the past two days." Mrs. Xing said.
"I entered the palace today and met the fourth prince. He went to ask for a marriage from the emperor," Xing Ji said.
Mrs. Xing frowned, "What does that have to do with us..." Suddenly her voice stopped, "Are you asking for a girl from the Lin family?"
Xing Ji nodded, "Your Majesty, I was there at the time."
Mrs. Xing's expression froze, "Is it too late?"
"The imperial edict has not been issued yet," Xing Ji said.
"Could it be that you knew that the fourth prince was going to marry you, and then you went to rob him?" Old Mrs. Xing looked annoyed. It would have been better if it had been done two days earlier.
Xing Ji asked, "Yu Sheng likes Miss Lin?"
"Nonsense." Mrs. Xing sighed repeatedly, but at this time she already felt that this was a very close relationship.
"Then I will go to the palace and ask the emperor to grant Yu Sheng a hand in marriage." Xing Ji said.
Mrs. Xing was stunned, "You don't want to die?!"
It would be okay if you didn’t know about the fourth prince’s marriage proposal, but Xing Ji knew!
What would the emperor think about competing with the emperor's son for women?
"Mom, you just need to tell me, do you really want Yu Sheng to marry Miss Lin?" Xing Ji asked.
"I hope the family is safe!" Mrs. Xing said.
"I understand." Xing Ji nodded, "Mom, go back and rest. Leave this matter to me."
After saying that, Xing Ji turned around and strode out. Mrs. Xing looked anxious, "Where are you going? Don't be impulsive!"
"Enter the palace to ask for orders." Xing Ji said and walked away.
Old Mrs.
Mrs. Xing went to Xing Yusheng again and told Xing Ji about entering the palace.
Xing Yusheng was surprised. In the impression, Xing Ji didn't care about him and had always been quite cold.
"Dad, do you think that the more arrogant he is, the more at ease the emperor will be with him?" Xing Yusheng said.
Mrs. Xing slapped Xing Yusheng, "That's nonsense! Your father is not here for you!"
Xing Yusheng looked a little weird, "Let's wait until he gets the job done first."
"If it doesn't work, will you give up?" Mrs. Xing asked.
Xing Yusheng sighed, "I don't mind eloping with Miss Lin, but this is extremely irresponsible. At this point, I just hope that the marriage that the fourth prince asked for will be cancelled. Even if she doesn't want to marry me, she will still have one in the future.
You have a choice. If the emperor really agrees to my father's request, I will tell the Lin family. If they are not willing, I will cancel the engagement after the limelight has passed and promise not to cause any trouble to the Lin family."
Mrs. Xing held Xing Yusheng's hand and sighed, "Let's wait until your father comes back."
…
Su Liang first followed Qin Yujin to Qin's house and gave Qin Guogong acupuncture before leaving. He found a new home according to the address given by Chang'an.
Qi Jun, who had sent her here, drove away.
Su Liang carried Su Zhai for Ning Jing, pushed open the ajar door and walked in.
The interior has been recently renovated and cleaned. Although the winter is bleak, many pines and cypresses have been planted, and greenery can be seen everywhere.
This is a requirement for peace, and there must be many trees.
The architectural style is simple and grand, which Su Liang thinks is good.
When she walked through the front hall and found Ningjing, he was sitting by the lake in the back garden fishing...
Looking from a distance, the seemingly still picture is extremely beautiful.
Su Liang walked over, and Ningjing heard footsteps. She turned around and glanced down. Her eyes fell on the food box in her hand. She put down the fishing rod, stood up, and walked to the pavilion next to her.
"Are there any fish in the lake?" Su Liang asked.
Ning Jing shook his head, "I don't know."
"This is the vegetarian restaurant in Huguo Temple. It's cold." Su Liang said.
Ningjing opened the food box, took it out and placed it on the stone table, "I didn't eat lunch."
"If I don't come back, will you always be hungry?" Su Liang was a little speechless.
"I plan to grill the fish." Ning Jing said.
Su Liang asked, "Where's the fish?"
Ning Jing looked calm and said, "There may be some in the lake."
Su Liang: You won’t eat it until you catch it, right? Sure enough, Ningjing has not changed, and it is still very Buddhist.
"You used to live in Huguo Temple for several years, right?" Su Liang remembered.
Ning Jing nodded, this Su Zhai was no stranger to him.
"I met Nian Ruxue today." Su Liang said.
Ningjing concentrated on eating without any reaction.
Then Su Liang talked about Nian Ruxue cheating on her.
Ning Jing frowned, "Where is Duanmu Ao?"
"Alive, dead." Su Liang said.
Ning Jing nodded, "Okay."
"Don't you have anything to say about Nian Ruxue?" Su Liang was a little curious.
"It's hard to talk about irrelevant people." Ning Jing shook his head.
Lin Shuzhi arrived at the teahouse first and learned that Ning Jing and Su Liang were not there. The teahouse owner told Lin Shuzhi the location of their new home, and he hurried over again.
Su Liang was packing clothes in the room when she heard Ning Jing talking to someone.
"Girl Liang, something happened to Xue Qing." Lin Shuzhi sighed deeply when he saw Su Liang coming out.
Su Liang's expression changed, "I watched her go home, how could something happen?"
Lin Shuzhi shook his head and said calmly, "Duanmu Chen asked for the imperial decree to marry her as a concubine."
Su Liang frowned fiercely, "Is the imperial edict issued?"
"Not yet, but soon." Lin Shuzhi looked bitter, "You know the fourth prince, I don't know if you can..."
"I'll go find him!" Su Liang disappeared after saying this.
Lin Shuzhi looked at Ningjing, whose face was calm, "Master, don't worry, she will not let junior sister marry Duanmu Chen."
"Then you..." Lin Shuzhi wondered if Ning Jing had to protect Su Liang.
Ning Jing shook her head, "She can do it herself."
…
Duanmu Chen came out of the palace in a good mood. Hearing that Chang'an said that Ningjing and Su Liang moved to the new house he gave him today, he smiled slightly and said, "If they are dissatisfied with anything, they won't mention it today, but I won't admit it tomorrow."
.”
"One more thing." Chang'an said, "Today the second prince went to Huguo Temple and was carried down the mountain."
Duanmu Chen sat up straight and asked, "Dead?"
Changan shook his head, "No, just comatose."
Duanmu Chen looked disappointed, "Who did it?"
"I don't know. There are many people from the eunuch protecting the country today. Prince Zhongxin and the eldest lady of the Duke of Qin are all here. Miss Su was also there at that time." Chang'an said.
Duanmu Chen was stunned, "Su Liang? Didn't you say she was moving today?"
"She went to Huguo Temple with Miss Qin, and Mr. Ning moved there himself," Chang'an said.
Duanmu Chen raised his eyebrows, "Duanmu Ao, could it be that he was beaten by Su Liang?"
Chang'an said that he thought so too.
Duanmu Chen smiled, "Interesting, I knew she wouldn't be able to settle down even after she came to the capital. Good fight, I hope she can be killed directly next time."
"Let's talk next time."
Suddenly a familiar female voice came from outside the door.
Duanmu Chen and Chang An were both stunned.
"Miss Su? What are you..." Chang'an looked shocked when he saw Su Liang pushing open the door and coming in.
"I came uninvited, sorry to disturb you." Su Liang said.
Duanmu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. In broad daylight, Su Liang actually seemed to be in a deserted place in his house? It seems that the guards around him are too useless and need to be strengthened.
"Why are you so anxious to see me?" Duanmu Chen asked, without asking Su Liang to sit down.
"I heard that the fourth prince wants to marry Lin Xueqing as his concubine?" Su Liang got straight to the point.
Duanmu Chen was surprised, "Where did you know that?"
"Fourth Prince, don't worry about how I know. Is this true?" Su Liang asked.
Duanmu Chen nodded, "Yes. This has nothing to do with you, right?"
"It does matter. She is mine." Su Liang said.
Duanmu Chen looked confused, "What do you mean she is yours? You and the Lin family..."
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, we have a cooperative relationship. I came to you today to discuss a deal. How do you want to give up marrying Xue Qing? Just tell me what conditions you have." Su Liang said.
Duanmu Chen looked at Su Liang, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled slowly, "It's not impossible, but I'm afraid you won't agree to my conditions."
"Tell me about it." Su Liang looked calm.
"If I don't marry her, will you be my concubine?" Duanmu Chen's eyes were piercing.
Su Liang nodded, "Okay, as long as you don't mind being my sister."
"Sisters?" Changan looked strange.
Su Liang explained seriously, "If I am forced to marry a man I don't like, in order to avoid beating him to death, I can only turn him into a good sister, the kind in the palace, you know."
