"Brother Lin, you must come on our wedding day. After all, you are our matchmaker."
"Ah? I know him too?"
"Yes, it's the granddaughter of Duke Weiguo—Wen Wuyang."
General Wen Hong’s granddaughter?
The Double A queen who would whip people with a whip at any moment?
"You and her... no? How far have you gotten?"
Lin Che simply didn't believe it. Given the temperament of a nightclub queen like Wen Wuyang, would she like the obscene and filthy fat man Sheng Huainan who ran a brothel?
"Since you asked, Brother Lin, let me tell you. Back in Tiandu City, you were there too. My wife Wuyang unexpectedly asked me to go to her residence for no reason. Was it really because she was stopped from going to Zuiyue Tower, something as trivial as this?"
Lin Che leisurely poured a cup of tea and ate some fresh fruits.
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not. Back then, she must have been trying to get to know me. A few days ago, I was selling our books in the Jiangbei area when I received your message, telling me to come to you with all the banknotes I had. Guess who I met on the way?"
"Do I need to guess? It must be Wen Wuyang."
"That's right!! My family is safe. She only brought a few dozen palace soldiers with her. I don't know where she heard that I was also coming to Leishi City. She actually asked the palace soldiers to come to me and tell me that we were coming to Leishi City together. It's so obvious, don't you understand?"
"Obvious what?"
"Fall in love with me!! Fall deeply in love with me—how many girls fantasize about eloping with their dream lover. There are so many dangers on the road to Leishi City. As a woman, she must have a strong man like me to protect her."
Sheng Huainan sighed deeply. "We were on our way and stayed at a hotel together. She even invited me to dine with her. Do you understand what that means? We shared a table! While we were eating, she kept her head down. She was very shy and didn't dare to look at me."
"There's nothing I can do. A playboy like me will eventually be conquered by a woman like this. Brother Lin, how much do you think I should give as a betrothal gift? After all, they belong to the Duke of Wei's Mansion!"
"Hehe, actually, I have one more thing to ask Brother Lin this time. Brother Lin, you're a great scholar, so what should we name Wuyang and I's child? Our child will be attending the Confucian Academy, so you must take good care of him..."
