"Of course." The matchmaker said with a smile, "Who doesn't give a betrothal gift for marriage? Especially in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion. As long as the General Fuguo takes a fancy to her, the girl can have everything she wants."

"I'll go, I'll go!" Yue Lingyin smiled happily. Feng Mian said that General Fuguo was a martial arts master and cruel, so she would not take it by force. She wanted to try to make him give it to her willingly.

"I don't agree!" Feng Mian was anxious. She was the Queen Mother, how could she cheat on her husband? What if General Fuguo took a fancy to her? How would he explain it to the Emperor?

Besides, General Fuguo doesn’t recognize the Queen Mother now, but he will definitely meet her in the future. How will the Queen Mother explain it then?

Yue Lingyin didn't consider these things at all. She only had the immediate interests in her mind, which was the Four-Directional Sword.

The matchmaker looked at Feng Mian doubtfully, and seeing his handsome appearance, her eyes lit up: "Who is he?"

"It's my brother." Yue Lingyin said with a smile, "He's not married yet. If you find anyone suitable, please introduce them to my brother."

Feng Mian had a cold face and squeezed out three words from between his teeth angrily: "No need!"

Yue Lingyin curled her lips: "If you don't need it, then you don't need it. Why are you being so fierce?"

Feng Mian felt cold all over and regretted bringing the empress dowager out.

"Sister, let's not worry about him. Take me to the residence of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery." Yue Lingyin took out all the silver she had brought with her from leaving the palace today and stuffed it into the matchmaker's hands. "To be honest, I have a great admiration for General Fuguo."

"Okay." The matchmaker happily accepted the money and said, "First, tell me about your life story."

"I have no parents. I used to learn martial arts from my master in the mountains. I can do some simple light skills. I only found my brother recently. I just arrived in the capital not long ago."

It was a very common experience. The matchmaker recorded it one by one and then closed the booklet.

"You have good looks, but your attire is too plain. To be honest, you have the best appearance and figure of any girl I've ever seen. To increase the chances of General Fuguo liking you, I'll take you to dress up."

Yue Lingyin did not object and held the matchmaker's hand intimately: "Everything is up to you, sister."

Feng Mian pursed his lips and watched the two people walk away, but he had no choice but to follow them. What if General Fuguo fell in love with the Queen Mother? How could he get her away?

The matchmaker took Yue Lingyin to find a makeup girl, then personally picked out clothes for her to change into, and took a group of more than 20 girls to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

Feng Mian was waiting at the door, feeling very nervous.

Wei Jinzhi was exhausted from the long journey, so the emperor exempted him from the morning court session. He was wearing a dark robe, his black hair tied up high, and was looking at the noble lady in front of him, his mother, Lu, with an expression of impatience.

"Mom, you asked me to come here early in the morning just to do this boring thing?"

Wei Jinzhi's general's mansion was right next to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's mansion, with a small door in the middle to facilitate passing through and also to make it convenient for Mrs. Lu to invite Wei Jinzhi over to visit.

"This is not a trivial matter, it is your lifelong event." Mrs. Lu was worried that her son would turn his face away and leave.

"The matchmaker I found today is famous in Shengjing for her skill in selecting brides. I know you don't like weak, effeminate women from official families, so I asked her to find strong-willed, honest girls from decent families. Now that you're here, why don't you go and take a look?"

Wei Jinzhi said coldly: "No, I don't want to get married."

"Ridiculous!" Although the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had lost an arm, his posture remained as straight as a pine tree, and his steps were firm and powerful. "You are the only son in the family. If you don't get married, who will take over this huge mansion in the future?"

Wei Jinzhi remained unmoved: "You can adopt him."

The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery angrily said, "Who do you want to adopt? Besides, he has biological parents. How can he be on the same page with us?"

"Yes, Jin Zhi, your father is right. We have been a single-line family for four generations. Even if we adopt someone, we can only adopt someone from another bloodline. Mother is afraid that you will be alone in the world in the future. You may not feel it when you are young, but when you are old..."

As Mrs. Lu spoke, she covered her face and burst into tears: "We are afraid that you will regret it later. You can go and take a look. If you really don't like it, we won't force you."

Wei Jinzhi felt upset when he heard the crying. After all, she was his own mother, and he couldn't remain indifferent.

He stood up and said, "Just this once, and it won't happen again."

Mrs. Lu raised her head, her face devoid of tears, and revealed a smile of triumph: "Come with me, there are more than 20 girls here today, if you like any one, I will take her with me."

In the courtyard, Yue Lingyin stood in front of the team. The matchmaker really liked her and let her stand in the most conspicuous position.

She was wearing a crabapple-colored dress with a white gauze draped over it, revealing her graceful neck and delicate collarbone. Half of her long black hair was scattered behind her head, and the other half was fixed behind her head with a butterfly hairpin. Her figure was graceful, and her exposed skin was as white as jade.

Wei Jinzhi saw her at first sight, the woman he had only met once but who always made him think of her inadvertently.

Mrs. Lu followed Wei Jinzhi's gaze and saw that he was looking at a very beautiful girl. She couldn't control the smile on her face.

"What's the little girl's name?"

A bright light flashed in Yue Lingyin's eyes: "My name is Yue Lingyin."

"Very good, you stay, the others can go."

Seeing that her son had no objection, Mrs. Lu became even more excited. The surprise came too suddenly. Was she about to have a daughter-in-law?

Seeing Wei Jinzhi standing there like a wooden statue, Madam Lu said, "Miss Yue is new here, so you should take her around the mansion to familiarize herself with the environment. Miss Yue, if you have any suggestions, feel free to ask. We will be a family from now on."

Wei Jinzhi calmly studied Yue Lingyin's expression and said, "Mother, we haven't even started dating yet. It's too early for you to say that."

Madam Lu glared at him, then said to Yue Lingyin with a smile, "Don't listen to his nonsense. I like you the moment I see you. Let's go for a walk around the mansion first, and then we'll have lunch together at noon."

Yue Lingyin was obsessed with the Four-sided Sword.

It would be good to take a walk around. Once she is familiar with the environment, even if Wei Jinzhi is unwilling to give her the Four-sided Sword, she can find a way to come in and steal it.

Wei Jinzhi didn't know how to get along with girls, so he remained silent the whole time. He occasionally glanced at Yue Lingyin, then quickly looked away.

Lu followed quietly for a while, but when she saw that this was not working, she went back to discuss it with Marquis Zhongyong.

"Jin Zhi still doesn't see the light. We finally found someone he likes. If this doesn't work out, when will we ever be able to hold our grandchildren?"

The loyal and brave marquis pondered for a moment: "Jin Zhi is not interested in women, but he is a responsible person."

Mrs. Lu reacted in an instant and asked uncertainly, "Do you mean to give him a push?"

"Yes." The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery said, "The fact that the girl is willing to come and see me means that she is interested in Jin Zhi. Even if... we give her more betrothal gifts afterwards, we can welcome her home as soon as possible."

Mrs. Lu: "Isn't that a bit too hasty?"

"No rush." ​​The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery said, "That girl has both good looks and a beautiful figure. It's not a shame for her to be with Jin Zhi. I'll take care of anything that happens."

"Okay." Mrs. Lu didn't like to drag things out, so she immediately made a plan: "I'll go get ready."
