She became foolish after losing a soul and a spirit, mocked by the world.

Chapter 433 Let Lin Xingman Marry Out of the Princess's Mansion
"Does my brother think I did something wrong?" He stared intently at Lin Wenqian.
"How could that be? I think it's fine this way!" Lin Wenqian felt that people like Lin Dayou deserved to suffer such an end.
"Alright, children shouldn't speak ill of their fathers. You two should stop talking!" Wang Yurou quickly stopped the siblings when she saw them starting to discuss Lin Dayou again.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore..."
"Mother, we've already prepared your dowry for your marriage to Prince Xiao..."
Since we're not allowed to discuss Lin Dayou, it wouldn't hurt to discuss Wang Yurou's dowry, right?
"Forget it, you should talk about your father instead!" Wang Yurou felt agitated that she was getting married at such an advanced age and her children would have to worry about her dowry.
He stood up, picked up the drowsy Xie Leyao, and went back to his room.
“It’s okay. If your mother doesn’t want to listen, we can discuss it together…” After all, this is a major life event, and Xiao Jingteng didn’t want Lin Luoxi to feel that he didn’t value Wang Yurou enough.
"Uncle Xiao, you'd better go back and ask the matchmaker to come over first..."
"Although my mother wants to marry you, all the necessary procedures must be followed..."
"If you don't hurry, aren't you afraid my dad will shamelessly come and pester my mom..."
Seeing that Jam Hsiao wanted to join the discussion, but since he hadn't yet asked a matchmaker to come to his door, Lin Luoxi couldn't help but offer a few words of reminder.
"Oh, right, I almost forgot, I'm going back now..." To prevent any unforeseen complications, Jam Hsiao didn't stay for dinner and jogged back home.
"Phew, even though Uncle Xiao is about to become our stepfather, I really can't discuss Mother's dowry with him here."
Seeing Jam Hsiao leave, Lin Wenqian breathed a huge sigh of relief.
"Brother, look at you! You at least fight wits with those ministers every day, how come you're even afraid of Uncle Xiao?"
Lin Luoxi didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She reminded Xiao Jingteng to go back and ask for a matchmaker, simply because she was afraid that shameless Lin Dayou would come and bother Wang Yurou again.
“That’s different…” Lin Wenqian patted his chest, something flashed through his mind, and he looked at Lin Luoxi with a mischievous grin.
"Second sister, the commotion you caused at the border has made those ministers quite talkative about you..."
The thought of those ministers sighing and complaining as soon as they entered court, but Xiao Jingchen pretending not to see it, made him laugh.
“Narrive? I bet he’s scolded me quite a bit…” Lin Luoxi was well aware of the ministers’ behavior.
But the thought that even if the other person cursed her, they would only dare to curse her behind her back and wouldn't dare to do anything to her made Lin Luoxi smile happily.
"Xiao Jingchen asked me to solve the food and fodder problem for the soldiers at the border, and I asked him to exempt me from taxes for five years. It wouldn't be like him if he didn't squeeze some money out of these people..."
The more Lin Luoxi talked, the happier she laughed, like a cunning fox.
Xie Hanchuan, Lin Wentao, Lin Wenqian, and Lin Luoning all looked at Lin Luoxi with doting eyes.
"What do you mean by 'not like his style'? Are you talking badly about me again?"
Just as the siblings were discussing Xiao Jingchen, Xiao Jingchen's voice could be heard from outside.
"It is true that one should not speak of men during the day, nor of gods at night."
When Lin Luoxi heard Xiao Jingchen's voice, she remembered a saying that the old man often said.
"Who dares to speak ill of you? Don't they want to live?" Lin Luoxi interrupted Xiao Jingchen as he entered.
"Hmph, of course it's you, you fearless woman."
"Luo Xi, Xing Man is your senior sister. I think, tomorrow, I'll have your senior sister leave your residence to get married..."
Xiao Jingchen wanted to use Lin Luoxi's influence to support Lin Xingman and let the senior officials in the court know that Lin Xingman also had a powerful background.
"Of course that's possible." Lin Luoxi hadn't expected Xiao Jingchen to be so thoughtful in order to marry Lin Xingman.
"Thank you, Luo Xi. I will have Xing Man's dowry and wedding dress delivered later."
Seeing that Lin Luoxi had agreed, Xiao Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief and explained all the things to pay attention to.
"Okay, then you go back and get busy..." Knowing that the two of them had a lot of things to do tomorrow, Lin Luoxi didn't try to keep them.
Lin Wenqian, Li Muqing, Lin Wentao, and Lin Luoning knew that Lin Luoxi had something to ask Lin Xingman, so they all went to find their own rooms to stay in.
Now that Lin Luoxi is back, and Wang Yurou is here too, they naturally don't want to go back to their own house. They want to stay with Lin Luoxi and the others and have some fun.
Lin Luoxi did have something to tell Lin Xingman, so she pulled Lin Xingman into her room.
As a man, Xie Hanchuan could only go visit his brother-in-law and his younger brother-in-law.
Lin Luoxi pulled Lin Xingman into her room and had her sit at the table, while Lin Xingman took out a large box.
"Xingman, this is the dowry I prepared for you..." After Lin Luoxi finished speaking, she pushed the box full of silver notes in front of Lin Xingman.
"Master, I don't want it. Xiao Jingchen has already prepared a dowry for me..." Lin Xingman, who had just cultivated into human form, did not understand the customs of the mortal world and felt that what Xiao Jingchen had prepared for her was enough.
"Are you stupid? Xiao Jingchen prepared this as a token of his affection, but as your family, I naturally need to prepare a dowry for you as well. Just take these."
"By the way, since you're getting married, let's seal away your past memories for now! This is a pill made from the herb of forgetfulness..."
"Forgetting your past memories is good for both of us..."
Lin Luoxi had her own selfish motives; she didn't want Lin Xingman to marry Xiao Jingchen while carrying the memories she had left in her space.
If Lin Xingman spends too much time with Xiao Jingchen and reveals her secret to him, it will be detrimental to everyone.
"Okay!" Lin Xingman knew what Lin Luoxi was worried about, so to put Lin Luoxi at ease, she took the pill in front of Lin Luoxi.
Lin Luoxi stared intently at Lin Xingman's changes, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the pills take effect, and her eyes go from struggle to confusion and then clarity.
Actually, Lin Luoxi was afraid that Lin Xing would be too obsessed with love and wouldn't dare to take her pills, so she still did something sneaky.
Regardless of whether Lin Xingman took the pills she gave her, as long as she came to her room today, Lin Xingman would not be able to escape.
Lin Luoxi knew that what she was doing was a bit excessive and selfish, but for her, for her family, and for everyone, Lin Xingman had to forget everything in the space.
"Master, why are you looking at me like that?" Lin Xingman was very puzzled as to why Lin Luoxi was looking at her with such a strange gaze.
Moreover, she seemed to have forgotten something, but couldn't quite remember it.
"No, I was just looking. You're already so beautiful; if you wore a wedding dress tomorrow, wouldn't you stun countless people..."
Once Lin Xingman was sure she had really forgotten, Lin Luoxi breathed a sigh of relief and immediately changed the subject.
