"Madam Lin is indeed worthy of her background in the General's Mansion. Even when she saw my sword, she remained unmoved, unlike some people who were so scared that they wet their pants."
Ye Lanyin glanced down and said calmly, "General Liu, you flatter me."
Shortly after, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Hua Xin led Lin Shixuan in through the door.
Lin Shixuan felt somewhat guilty when he saw General Liu and Liu Ruyan.
"Miss Liu, what brings you here?"
"Young Master Lin..."
General Liu stood up and shielded his daughter behind him.
"You little rascal, how dare you flirt with my daughter in public and then just leave? If I hadn't overheard her words, were you planning to continue like this?"
Lin Shixuan never expected that Liu Ruyan would bring this up.
Since the day he drowned himself, he has not gone to see Liu Ruyan again.
One reason is that he believes she will contact him.
Secondly, it's because he found a new goal.
Thirdly, after that day, he felt that she had lost face.
Oh dear, the white moonlight has turned into the black moonlight.
Ye Lanyin raised her chin slightly.
Black Moonlight?
That won't do!
In her past life, she prevented him from being with her beloved, and in this life, she is determined to make up for it.
"General Liu, it's not as you say. I was with Miss Liu that day because I admired her talent."
"Talent? You and I are both men, do you really think I'm stupid?"
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I will tear down your manor." He snorted angrily.
Madam Liu patted her husband to comfort him.
He then stepped forward and said to Ye Lanyin, "Madam Lin, we have come here today because our daughter was crying at home. As her parents, we feel terrible seeing her like this."
"Only after asking did I find out what had happened."
"I don't need to explain how important a woman's reputation is, do I?"
Ye Lanyin handed Lin Wanwan over to Huaxin, and then affectionately took Madam Liu's hand.
“I understand what Madam Liu is saying. Shixuan is already fifteen, and if I remember correctly, Miss Liu is seventeen this year, right?”
Madam Liu nodded.
Ye Lanyin said apologetically:
"I'm really sorry, it's my fault as a mother for not disciplining my child well."
"Although it is not good for a woman to be older than a man, our Shixuan is good at studying and will certainly not care about such things. If Madam Liu does not mind, although the mistress of the Marquis's family is not as good as a prince or grandson of the emperor, the Marquis's family has inherited the title for three generations and her status is still quite noble. What do you think of the marriage between the Lin and Liu families?"
General Liu angrily retorted, "Absurd! How could I, a dignified second-rank official, possibly form a marriage alliance with a marquis's family?"
The Marquis of Zhenbei's prestige in the court is not what it used to be; if it were before, he might have been able to consider it.
"Then what should we do according to the General's suggestion?" Ye Lanyin sighed. "How about the Marquis's mansion offers silver as compensation?"
"Silver?" General Liu almost laughed in anger. Did he, the general, lack that little bit of silver?
"This official is not short of the Marquis's money!"
When Marquis Zhenbei heard Ye Lanyin mention the marriage, he was quite pleased, after all, a second-rank official was a powerful minister.
He was surprised that the other party openly looked down on him! They even complained about the Marquis's money, which made him a little angry.
He said unhappily, "According to General Liu's wishes, what about my humble servant?"
"My son was also drowned because of Miss Liu."
"Even if he died in the water, he didn't reveal Miss Liu's identity, so he also bears some responsibility."
“Now that you have come to my residence, my wife says you don’t want the marriage proposal, and you don’t want the compensation money either.”
"Then tell me, what should I do?"
