Chapter 635 She Had No Choice

“Well, I will help you find a nice girl. I will also explain this to her in advance. After all, you may not love her, but you will respect her at least. But I hope you can only marry one girl. If you can’t give your heart to her, at least you have to give her unique dignity.”

Lin Mengya was very sad. After all, in this world, the only sister-in-law who could be recognized by her would always be Sister Yue Ting alone.

However, even her father’s marriage had been treated as a deal. Her brother was a rare young hero, and even with her mediation, the power of the Lin family and the title of Yu Princess’s elder brother alone could draw many girls who were dying to marry him.

The empress would probably send someone else to finish what Shangguan Qing hadn’t completed.

Besides, she felt more than ever that the seemingly quiet Lin family would become the center of the storm sooner or later. She might as well take the initiative to gain the upper hand.

“I know, I don’t want to marry anyone but her. But if you find a suitable candidate, you must tell her that if she marries me, she can only be a concubine.”

Yue Ting was his only wife, which would not change in a lifetime.

The elders in the family had advised him to pretend that he had never married Yue Ting so as not to ruin his reputation. But it was flatly rejected by Lin Nansheng. Their mother had said that as long as they were married, their names would be engraved on the Sansheng Stone.

In this life, they couldn’t grow old together. He only hoped that in the next life, he could renew his acquaintance with Yue Ting.

“Enough with that. By the way, Xiao Yixin is back, do you know?”

Lin Mengya smiled. There was something they could only hide in their hearts. It was the same with her, her elder brother, and Long Tianyu. They must not show a little bit of weakness.

Lin Nansheng frowned gloomily when he heard his sister mention his friend from childhood.

“Hmph, if he dares to return to the capital, I will kill him!”

Lin Mengya smiled and shook her head. He was a very protective brother, almost as protective as Qinghu and Long Tianyu.

“No need. Someone has helped me teach him a good lesson. Besides, it wasn’t entirely his fault. You and our father wanted me to marry a good husband, but how could anyone want to marry a stupid girl? It would ruin his lifetime happiness. Besides, thanks to his refusal, I have the happy life I’m living now, right?”

Lin Mengya naturally glanced at Qinghu who had been standing by her side silently.

The latter just curled his lips, which meant that he had done it. Lin Nansheng was still angry. After all, he had regarded Xiao Yixin as his good friend, so he had tried to entrust his only sister to him.

Unexpectedly...though it was all ancient history, he was still very unhappy with his friend.

“Oh, you. But, didn’t he elope with a woman? Why is he back now? Isn’t he afraid of being punished by his father?” When he said this, Lin Nansheng’s handsome face showed a rare look of ferocity.

Lin Mengya was 100% sure that after her elder brother left the palace, he would go to the Xiao family to tell Uncle Xiao the news. Alas, Xiao Yixin, the prodigal son wouldn’t live peacefully.

“I can’t explain it now. But there is one thing. Xiao Yixin was also deceived by others, so he had disappeared for such a long time. Now, he has become one of us. The Xiao family will stand on our side soon. However, I hope this matter will not be exposed too early. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, there is a gap between us and the Xiao family.”

Actually, Xiao family felt sorry for the Lin family.

More importantly, Uncle Xiao was an affectionate and righteous man, and he felt that his son had embarrassed him. So on the surface, the interaction between the two families had become much less.

But when Xiao Yixin had just disappeared, Lin Mengya often saw Uncle Xiao holding a jar of wine in his arms and secretly coming to meet his father for a drink.

Who would have thought that Uncle Xiao, who had always been known for his elegance, would transform into a forthright man when he was drunk?

But even Shangguan Qing didn’t know it, let alone others. She had tried to suck up to the Xiao family because of the close relationship between the Xiao family and the scholars in the world. But Uncle Xiao was a clever man, and he had just brushed it off.

Now that Xiao Yixin was back, the relationship between Xiao family and Lin family would be even subtler.

“Don’t worry about it. Uncle Xiao is an awesome man. His nephews may be loud right now, but in fact, he is in charge of everything.”

Speaking of Uncle Xiao, Lin Nansheng’s admiration for him was still mixed with some helplessness.

While their father was not in the capital, Uncle Xiao would regard him as his drinking buddy.

Alas, this kind of life was really exciting.

After all, not everyone dared to get drunk in the tree.

“That’s good, brother. Take good care of yourself.” At this time, the servant outside came to report the news that Long Tianyu was coming back soon.

Lin Nansheng had to get up and leave. After all, their in-law relationship had already attracted a lot of attention.

In case someone said it was a secret connection, it would be difficult for him to speak up in the court on some important things.

He was reluctant to say goodbye to his sister.

He looked at Lin Mengya with worried eyes.

“Ya’er, I have to go. Take good care of yourself and be happy.”

When she heard it, Lin Mengya’s eyes almost turned red.

Only a close family member would care about whether she was happy or not.

She also knew that with her brother around, no one could hurt her. “I will, he... treats me very well.”

Speaking of Long Tianyu, Lin Mengya’s face suddenly blushed.

Seeing his younger sister completely immersed in love, Lin Nansheng was happy, but he was a little bit worried.

With her sister’s temperament, when Long Tianyu got into trouble one day, would there be any turmoil?

But soon, Lin Nansheng suppressed this idea.

It was a tough road, sister. He only hoped that she would be as happy as she was now.

After reluctantly saying goodbye to her brother, Lin Mengya even personally walked him to the gate. He swung onto his horse and kept looking back at her, which made Lin Mengya a little sad.

The royal family had more rules. If she wanted to go back to her parent’s house, she had to ask Long Tianyu to accompany her.

Now in this situation, she didn’t want to cause trouble to Long Tianyu.

She felt sorry for her brother who had been living alone in that cold mansion without even a confidant to talk to.

She looked at the four girls.

As they say, keep the goodies within the family. Among the four girls, three of them could be her future sister-in-law except Baishao who had been already taken.

“Don’t think about it. None of them can do it.”

Suddenly, she heard Qinghu’s soft voice.

Lin Mengya turned her head suspiciously. Could Qinghu read her mind? Why couldn’t she hide her thoughts from him? “I know you are kind, but these girls, if they marry into the Lin family, they will soon be bullied. If you want to find a good match for your brother, I think you’d better choose from daughters of powerful families. At least, she can help your brother.”

Qinghu looked calm, but even Lin Mengya could not contradict what he had said.

Qinghu was right. Her previous thoughts were too idealistic.

Lin family, like every other big family, had no choice when it came to some things.

When the things about which they had no other choice conflicted with the interests of the family, an outsider with no impressive family background would be sacrificed first.

Besides, there were two hungry ambitious wolves in the family. She nodded silently, and her previous unrealistic idea was gone.

To tell the truth, choosing a wife for her brother was very painful for her. After all, she would unconsciously compare this stranger with Yue Ting.

She let out a sigh. It seemed that this would be a formidable project. “Tell Yunzhu to collect information on women of the right age in each family. The more detailed the better. I want to know everything.”

Lin Mengya ordered softly. After Qinghu nodded slightly, he walked to the corner of the path, and presumably, he left the house unobtrusively.

Of course, she still had to do it herself. If she went to find a matchmaker, the news that her brother was going to find a wife would spread all over the streets of the capital within half a day.

She would be in trouble by that time.

She sighed quietly. Why did she always feel that she was betraying Sister Yue Ting? There was a burst of gentle coolness on her cheeks.

Lin Mengya dodged subconsciously, but inadvertently she saw a pair of smiling black eyes. “What are you doing? Why did you come back silently? Do you want to scare me to death?”

She was complaining, but it sounded coquettish for him.

Long Tianyu wasn’t annoyed. He just quickly put something in Lin Mengya’s hand. “Look, this is the gift I picked for you.”

She smiled and glared at Long Tianyu before she lowered her head to look at the thing in her hand.

It turned out to be a pair of crystal clear jade. But when she stared at the pattern in it, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes. She looked at it several times before she could make sure.
