Chapter 359: Speed ​​Competition with the Queen

As soon as the Lin family and their son entered the gate of the Prince's Mansion, the secret guard passed the news to Wei Qingyan.

Wei Qingyan had not expected that Lin Lanting would bring Father-in-law Lin here so soon.

After thinking about it, I understood the reason. They were trying to compete with the Queen in speed.

"Keep an eye on Steward Chen and the others, and don't let them inform the Queen." Wei Qingyan ordered the secret guards.

No matter what the third sister's purpose was in agreeing to a fake marriage with Lin Lanting, she had voluntarily entered into this situation and did not want it to be ruined by the Queen.

Shi Yu glanced at his wife and smiled helplessly and dotingly.

He was just cursing Lin Lanting as a cunning fox and said that he would help Wei Lao San to be more wary of Lin Lanting in the future.

Now he has to help others achieve their goal, but it makes sense that a person like Lin Lanting is willing to coax Wei Lao San with such persistence, which shows that he is really in love with him.

Qingyan probably also hopes that Wei Laosan can have a good home. If the two of them get along and Wei Laosan still doesn't have any feelings for Lin Lanting, then the worst that can happen is that they can just divorce again.

How could Wei Qingyan not know what Shi Yu was laughing at? He sneered back, "You have to check for Third Sister later. Don't let her feel wronged."

She is still a 'patient' and it is not easy for her to go out.

Shi Yu paused.

When had he ever done such a thing before? But he dared not disobey his wife's order, so he could only respond, "Okay."

So he waited leisurely to meet Mr. Lin.

Who would have thought that after waiting for a long time and no one showed up, I found out that Father-in-law Lin actually went directly to Wei Shijun's yard.

After Wei Shijun finished a set of boxing, she was about to go back to the house to wash up and have a good sleep, when she saw an old man with a straight back, wearing a green robe and a Taoist bun, standing outside the courtyard gate, looking at her with a smile on his face.

Seeing her looking over, Lin Guozhang smiled and said, "I'm waiting for someone here. I'm very interested in seeing you boxing. Would it be possible to have a sparring match with you?"

Wei Shijun searched in her mind, but there was no such person in the mansion. Although this person was dressed ordinary, he did not look like the manager of the mansion, so he must be here to look for Shi Yu.

Those who came to look for Shi Yu these two days were trying to keep him, but Shi Yu always refused them using the excuse that the Crown Princess had not woken up yet.

Could it be that this person couldn't see Shi Yu, so he planned to get close to her?

Thinking of this, Wei Shijun bowed and said, "Sorry, I have something else to do today."

Lin Guozhang saw that she was wearing a short green shirt, with her long hair tied up high, and her heroic eyes and eyebrows revealed a sense of determination and composure.

He sighed in his heart, it turns out that his youngest son likes this type of girl. She looks like a really nice girl. If she doesn't want to, just reject her directly. She has the same temperament as his youngest son. I think they will get along well after marriage.

Satisfied, his smile deepened. "I'm sorry for being so abrupt. The person I was waiting for hasn't arrived yet, and I was bored, so I bothered you."

Wei Shijun sensed his kindness and, curious about who he was waiting for in front of her courtyard, she found an excuse and asked, "Who is the old man waiting for?"

"Wait for my little one."

Lin Guozhang stood outside the courtyard the entire time, not taking a step closer, and spoke honestly, "We are here to propose marriage, I am Lin Lanting's father.

It's just that time is short and I haven't been able to prepare properly, but I can't be too hasty either, so I asked him to find an official matchmaker."

He wasn't looking for Shi Yu, but was looking for her to propose marriage?

Wei Shijun was stunned for a moment, and then it felt like there was a rabbit jumping in her heart, making her breathing quicken.

The person in front of me is actually Lin Lanting’s father?

Who would come with his own father to propose marriage so early in the morning, and wait directly outside her yard? Even though Wei Shijun considered herself thick-skinned, she couldn't help but blush.

Lin Guozhang saw her expression and felt relieved, thinking there was a chance.

If this girl had no feelings for his little rebellious son, she wouldn't have looked embarrassed.

He moved himself in his heart and thought that it was difficult for an old father. For the sake of his youngest son and grandson, it was not easy for him to disregard etiquette and risk his reputation.

His face was still smiling kindly. He bowed to Wei Shijun and said apologetically, "It is indeed not polite to come here directly. I hope the little girl will forgive me. However, time waits for no one. I really have no choice but to do this."

Wei Shijun understood what he meant when he said that time waits for no one, but she still felt that his action was inappropriate, so she dodged him when he bent down.

After all, he was an elderly man, and even Shi Yu's grandfather. Even though she felt a little annoyed, she didn't want to accept his courtesy.

Unexpectedly, Lin Guozhang took out another seal from his pocket and said, "It's not a good time to mobilize troops today. This is the seal of my Lin family. It is the token of Lan Ting's engagement.

From now on, the girl will be my own daughter. If Lan Ting dares to bully you, you can tell me and I will deal with him for you. If others bully you, you can also tell me. I can’t beat them, but I should be able to give them a good scolding.”

When Lin Lanting came here in a hurry with the official media, this is what he heard. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

I knew my father was becoming less reliable as he got older, but I didn't expect him to be this unreliable. I hurried forward to explain, "I'm really sorry, my father was probably too happy."

He apologized, but took the seal from his father's hand, stuffed it into Wei Shijun's hand, and whispered, "Don't blame me, I'll let you vent your anger later."

Wei Shijun, “…”

Didn’t we agree on a fake marriage? Why are they being so intimate?

I feel like I've walked into a wolf's den. Is it too late to regret now?

How could the two foxes in the Lin family give her a chance to regret? They took the official matchmaker to meet Shi Yu. After the official matchmaker's eloquence and the influence of Lin Guofu's father-in-law as Shi Yu's grandfather, the marriage was settled.

"Good! Good! Good!" Lin Guozhang stroked his beard, his eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled. "I am finally a man with a daughter-in-law."

The eldest son died young, and he had several daughters in between. He finally had a youngest son when he was middle-aged. Unexpectedly, the youngest son was almost an old tree stump and still refused to get married, thinking that he would be a bachelor all his life.

But unexpectedly, things turned around and the old tree stump became smart. He also learned the tricks of the underworld and finally cheated his fiancée. How could he not be happy?

It seems like my little grandson is right in front of me.

She was so happy that she didn't even bother to greet Shi Yu. She happily went to the gate and announced the news of Lin Lanting and Wei Shijun's marriage to Cen Daxueshi and others who were still waiting outside the gate.

While Grand Secretary Cen was happy for Lin Lanting, he also felt disappointed and said, "Didn't the father-in-law go to persuade the prince to stay?"

The old father-in-law blinked, and then blinked again, "Speaking of public affairs, I have long stopped interfering in the affairs of the court. Speaking of private affairs, although I am the grandfather, this is a family matter after all, and it is not good for me to interfere between them. On one side is the daughter, and on the other side is the grandson. Both the palm and the back of the hand are flesh and blood, and I am caught in a dilemma on both sides."

Instead of spending this time preparing betrothal gifts for my youngest son, I might as well focus on it.

Besides, he didn't understand the prince, nor did he understand his own son. If the prince really wanted to leave, he wouldn't have the energy to deceive girls. He would have joined the ranks of Grand Secretary Cen long ago.

After giving the advice, Father-in-law Lin put the matter out of his mind and his thoughts returned to Lin Lanting's marriage.

He has a lot of things to do next.

He muttered, "There hasn't been any happy event in the mansion for a long time. We need to do some renovations. And we also need to make some adjustments to the little one's cold and deserted courtyard.

Oh, by the way, the new daughter-in-law loves practicing martial arts, and the martial arts field at home has been abandoned for a long time and needs to be renovated.

The mansion also needs two chefs who can cook Dawei cuisine. After getting married, there will probably be children, and with children, there will be midwives and wet nurses..."

Everyone was frowning as they listened to his chatter. How happy could he be? He had just gotten engaged and he even had to prepare a wet nurse and midwife?

But after hearing what he said earlier, Liao Xiaohua suddenly understood and whispered to the others, "It seems we have come to the wrong place. We should ask the Queen to choose an auspicious day to welcome the Prince back to the court.

After all, it was the Queen who chilled the Prince's heart, and it should be the Queen who did something to win back the Prince, not us.

Fengzhao is the country to us, but to the prince, it is both the country and the family. As a mother, she does not pay much attention to her son's return home.

If the queen still maintains the same attitude as before, we will kneel here and die. As a mother, we don't welcome her, so how can we, as her sons, have the audacity to stay here?

After all, we are outsiders to that 'house' and cannot represent the Queen's attitude. If we kneel here and beg, we might even be criticized for being arrogant, and we would actually be harming the Crown Prince."

A word woke them up from their dream. After looking at each other, they kowtowed three times towards the gate of the Prince's Mansion in tacit understanding and then headed towards the palace.

When they arrived at the palace, the Queen had already learned that the Lins had proposed to Wei Shijun. She was so angry that she slapped Lady Xia in the face and asked, "Did you leak the information?"
